Chapter 365: Cooperation with Standard Chartered
After settling in, everyone had dinner together.
Xu Liang took Jiang Xiaoyang back to No. 33 Baijia Road.
At this time, all the employees of Hongyan Fund are off work.
The huge villa was shrouded in light and seemed a little quiet.
However, what is visible and invisible here are nearly thirty well-trained bodyguards.
There is no need to worry about safety here.
‘Gulu’.
Xu Liang poured two glasses of wine and came over.
“Give.”
Jiang Xiaoyang took it and took a sip.
“Ma Yun said that his Taobao store was in full swing with eBay, so he would not come here this time. Mahua Teng said that he was close and would wait until October 1, the day before Guangming Glasses went on sale.
Except for these two, all other companies that our company has invested in that are not listed on the domestic market have basically arrived."
Xu Liang nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's rare that you still care about people."
Listening to the beautiful woman's resentful tone, Xu Liang stepped forward, put his arms around Qianqian Liu's waist, and gently moved her into his arms. Jiang Xiaoyang also leaned into his arms obediently.
Smelling the strong masculinity and feeling the strong arms, a strong sense of security lingered in Jiang Xiaoyang's heart, melting her outer strength, and her body became soft and relaxed little by little.
The two of them just leaned together quietly, passing on their silent tenderness to each other.
For a while, it felt like silence was better than sound.
After a long time.
"I really want to just lean on you quietly until the end of time." Jiang Xiaoyang said quietly.
“I want to, too. But none of us can let go of our own obsessions.”
Jiang Xiaoyang was silent.
As the CEO of Hanhua, I have personally watched the company transform into a leading and internationally renowned large-scale private equity investment company in China with my own efforts.
If she were asked to completely let go and live the life of caring for her husband and raising children every day, she would definitely not be willing to do so.
The same goes for Xu Liang.
"Okay, let's not talk about these troublesome things. Let's talk about Kunpeng Fund. How is the fundraising going?" Xu Liang said.
Jiang Xiaoyang calmed down and took a sip of red wine.
“It’s not going well.
Although we have proven ourselves in private equity, futures is another field after all. Hanhua has not had any achievements here, and it is difficult to convince people. .”
Xu Liang nodded. From the case of the Qiu family's investment in Kunpeng Fund, we can see everyone's attitude towards Kunpeng Fund.
“Kunpeng Fund has raised US$49 million so far. When I called, each company invested symbolically two to three million US dollars, and the most was only five or six million US dollars. It is estimated that by the end of the year, we will have The maximum we can raise is about 300 million U.S. dollars, not more than 400 million U.S. dollars. "
"It's about the same as I expected. However, the opportunity was given to them, but in the end they didn't take it. , then it’s no wonder we are.” Xu Liang said.
Looking at his confident look, Jiang Xiaoyang couldn't help but ask.
“I never had time to ask you. Kunpeng Fund, which fund do you plan to invest in?”
Things that are kept secret from outsiders do not need to be kept secret from her.
"Oil futures."
"Oil?"
Jiang Xiaoyang was a little surprised.
Although she has a master's degree in financial engineering from Columbia University, her knowledge of oil futures is limited.
After a quick review of the current international situation, I found nothing that could cause significant fluctuations in oil prices.
“Are you really sure there are opportunities in oil futures?”
“Of course, otherwise why would I spend so much money on Kunpeng Fund?” Xu Liang said with a smile.
"Okay. As long as you have confidence. I'm only responsible for helping you anyway."
He bent his left index finger and gently scraped her nose.
"With you as a competent housekeeper, I can run around outside with peace of mind."
"You know how to coax me with your sweet words."
Xu Liang smiled and took a sip of the red wine in his hand. After drinking it all.
Hold her up while Jiang Xiaoyang screamed.
“Housekeeper, it’s getting late, we should rest.”
"Oh, the wine was spilled on me. Let me down quickly."
Xu Liang turned a deaf ear and strode toward the bedroom with the beauty in his arms.
The two of them had fewer and fewer clothes.
The final step was soon reached.
The relationship between the two is just the last step away.
"Have you really decided?" Jiang Xiaoyang asked breathlessly.
Xu Liang understood what she meant.
If he really breaks through this last step, he will definitely give Jiang Xiaoyang an explanation later, otherwise the Jiang family will soon fall out.
"Although we are not married, I am already the son-in-law of your Jiang family in the eyes of outsiders. Moreover, we have been helping each other and supporting each other in the past two years. It is impossible for me to see you marry another man."
After saying this, Xu Liang’s hesitation disappeared.
The body pressed forward, and everything was lost in words.
——
The next day, Xu Liang was about to be awakened by his biological clock.
Looking at the beauty curled up in his arms next to him, a flash of pity flashed between his eyebrows.
Gently pull out your arm.
After getting dressed, I walked out quietly and came to the top of the building.
Cultivation of plants and trees is still growing vigorously in the autumn of southern China.
Take a deep breath, look at the reddish morning light in the east, and start the day's exercise.
Although his physical fitness was very good after his rebirth.
But no matter how good your health is, if you don’t maintain it, it will quickly go downhill after the age of thirty.
There are so many beauties in the world, and he wants to see more of them.
When he finished practicing, took a shower and changed clothes, the servant had already prepared breakfast.
After finishing breakfast elegantly, Jiang Xiaoyang asked. "I'm going to Hanhua later. Do you want to come with me?"
Xu Liang shook his head.
"I made an appointment with Kevin Hannon, President of Standard Chartered Bank's Xiangjiang Branch."
Jiang Xiaoyang nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
"Then I'm leaving."
"I made a reservation at the Peninsula Hotel tonight, don't forget it."
"I know."
Looking at her slightly staggering steps, it was obvious that the area injured last night had not yet recovered.
Xu Liang had already advised her to rest, but to no avail.
Just leave it to her.
After quickly finishing breakfast, he took Lu Hui away from Baijiadao and came to the headquarters of Standard Chartered Bank in Xiangjiang.
Different from last time.
Xu Liangke is now the largest shareholder with 16.8% of Standard Chartered's shares.
Kevin Hannon has been waiting in the company lobby in advance.
When I saw him coming in, I hurriedly greeted him.
"Mr. Xu, welcome to Standard Chartered."
"Kevin, we meet again."
Xu Liang's tone seemed very cordial.
Kevin Hannon smiled and said: "We will have more opportunities to meet and even cooperate in the future."
"Of course. I came here today just to give Standard Chartered a big order. "
Surprised, Kevin Hannon smiled: "This is the best news I have heard today..."
"Please."
The two came to Standard Chartered's reception room and sat down.
Xu Liang got straight to the point, "I need a large loan."
He signaled to Lu Hui.
The latter quickly handed over the information he had prepared previously.
Kevin Hannon took it and took a look, with a look of surprise on his face.
"10% of Yahoo Japan's equity?!"
He really didn't expect that Xu Liang was also one of the major shareholders of Yahoo Japan.
In 2002, the most popular stock in the global securities market was Yahoo Japan.
At the beginning of 2002, the market value was less than 10 billion, and it doubled after half a year.
After defeating eBay, dominating Japan's portal and C2C fields, and becoming a giant in the telecommunications industry, Yahoo! Japan's stock price has continued to rise.
As of the end of September 2002, Yahoo's share price had exceeded US$23 billion, floating around US$23.3 billion.
The nearly 200-fold growth in more than two years is simply a miracle under the Nasdaq crisis.
Now all the investment institutions in the world want the equity of Yahoo! Japan. Unfortunately, its turnover rate is too low, and you can't buy it if you have money.
Even debt issued in the secondary market has become a hot commodity.
Xu Liang’s 10% stake in Yahoo Japan is undoubtedly a huge asset.
"Mr. Xu wants to use this part of Yahoo! Japan's equity loan?" Kevin Hannon was a little excited.
As Xu Liang said before, this is indeed a big business.
“Not bad.”
Xu Liang nodded.
“How much do you want to borrow?”
"It's all mortgaged, and I hope Standard Chartered can lend at 90% of the equity value, and I can accept a higher interest rate," Xu Liangdao said.
He is speculating, not long-term investment.
Higher interest and more principal will allow him to earn more.
Kevin Hannon looked serious.
If you follow what Xu Liang said.
That's a $2 billion loan, which is a lot of money.
Although Standard Chartered can afford it, it also carries huge risks.
“I can’t make the decision, it must be approved by the headquarters.” Kevin Hannon said.
"This is a matter of course. However, you tell Mr. Humphrey for me that I am the major shareholder of Standard Chartered and will not do anything to harm my own assets.
And I also have With Hongmeng and Hanhua, even if I lose the money, I can still afford it.”
Kevin Hannon nodded, "I will report it truthfully."
Xu Liang nodded and said, "I remember correctly, Standard Chartered's shareholder meeting is about to start, right?"
" There is only half a month left, does Mr. Xu also want to participate?”
“Of course, I am the major shareholder of Standard Chartered.”
After a pause, Xu Liang said again: “Except. Loan, I still have a business to cooperate with Standard Chartered?”
Kevin Hannon was shocked and said quickly: "Mr. Xu, please speak."
"Kevin, you should know about Hanhua's 'Xuanwu Real Estate Investment Fund'?"
"Of course.
Since Mr. Xu became our shareholder at Standard Chartered, we have raised US$420 million from all over the world for this fund."
Xu Liang clicked with a smile Nod, as China’s real estate market continues to heat up.
The performance of Xuanwu Real Estate Investment Fund is getting better and better, and raising funds has become easier.
Especially as Hanhua Capital’s cooperation with Samsung Securities, Futian Wealth Management Company, and Standard Chartered Bank continues to deepen, Hanhua Capital can reach out to more wealthy people with assets of around 10 million US dollars and raise funds. More.
Although the investment of a single customer is only one hundred thousand, or hundreds of thousands of dollars.
However, Xuanwu Real Estate Investment Fund has more and more available funds.
