My 1999

Xu Liang nodded slightly, "Does everyone know?"

Zhao Xun shook his head quickly, "I have always strictly abided by your rules and issued a gag order on the entire company. The hedge fund department was even more cautious. But after making so much money, the people in the hedge fund department shared a lot of money, which was a bit too much. Happy.

If other people see you, they will inevitably ask questions, and even if you don't tell them, everyone can guess something. "

Xu Liang nodded, and he even suspected that someone had leaked the information in private.

After all, there is no airtight wall in the world, and his place is not isolated from the outside world. After get off work, everyone gets together to drink and brag, and it is expected that they will be exposed.

"Go and do your work."

Zhao Xun nodded, turned and left.

Xu Liang came to the hedge fund department.

As soon as he entered, everyone who was busy saw him and stood up quickly.

"Mr. Xu."

"Mr. Xu, okay."

"Mr. Xu, you are even more charming."...

Compared with the curiosity and scrutiny in everyone's eyes when they first met; this time they saw Xu Liang, with strong admiration and excitement on their faces.

Earn more than 2 billion US dollars from a single investment.

Even if it is placed globally, it is still a top investment case.

"Mr. Xu, are you here?"

Sun Zhenping hurriedly came up to greet him.

“What’s the buying situation like for military stocks?”

Sun Zhenping said excitedly: "Thanks to the current market conditions of the New York Stock Exchange, it is easy to go long. Currently, two-thirds of the US$12 billion in funds have been invested, and the rest can be invested in a week at most."

He said and handed over the document in his hand.

"Mr. Xu, this is our shareholding list."

Xu Liang took it and took a look and saw that almost all US military industry stocks, as well as major steel and shipbuilding giants were on it.

After looking at it carefully, I returned it.

"Remember, no one company is allowed to hold more than 5% of the shares."

According to the rules of the US stock market, if the shareholding does not exceed 5%, it does not need to appear in the company's financial report.

Xu Liang was only doing short-term business and had no intention of getting Hongyan deeply involved with US military industry stocks.

"clear."

Sun Zhenping obviously understood Xu Liang's plan.

Looking over everyone, Xu Liang said loudly: "Everyone has worked hard during this period. Once this order is completed, the company will distribute bonuses according to everyone's contribution. I guarantee that the amount will far exceed your expectations."

"Wow, long live Mr. Li."

"Mr. Li, I love you."...

Cheers echoed throughout the room.

He patted Sun Zhenping on the shoulder and said, "I'll leave this to you."

"Don't worry, we will definitely live up to your expectations."

Xu Liang smiled and turned around and left.

He wanted to leave, but turned around and came to Zhao Xun's office.

Knock on the door and go in.

"Mr. Xu?"

Xu Liang waved and sat down in the reception area next to him.

“How are you feeling during this time, watching the hedge fund sector make money, is it stressful?”

Zhao Xun smiled bitterly and said: "How could it not be possible? After all, I am also the person in charge of the company's Xiangjiang department. As a result, I still haven't achieved any impressive results, while the departments below are making money day by day.

To be honest, I am on pins and needles every day. "

Xu Liang looked at him, "Do you know why you were appointed president of Xiangjiang Company in the first place?"

After Zhao Xun thought for a while, he said, "The old man in the company has strong execution ability."

Xu Liang nodded, "So, I don't need your excellent performance. Your task is to maintain the company's stable development. Sun Zhenping and his hedge fund department have made money, and you have a share of the credit."

"yes."

Seeing the trace of unwillingness flashing in Zhao Xun's eyes, Xu Liang thought for a while.

"Have you ever watched the American NBA?"

"I've seen it, but I don't know much about it."

Xu Liang nodded, "Since you want to make some achievements, I will give you a chance."

Zhao Xun was shocked. He was also an old man who joined Hongyan since its establishment. He had witnessed the extraordinary business talent of the big boss. All the projects he valued have achieved great success so far.

He quickly sat up straight.

"Please give me your orders."

"NBA Houston Rockets, you first do some research, then contact their owner Alexander and buy the Rockets."

Even people who don’t watch basketball know a thing or two about China.

Since Yao Ming joined, it has become the home team of 370 million domestic basketball fans.

The influx of Chinese advertisers has caused the Rockets' revenue to rise rapidly.

From Yao Ming's joining to 2006, Rockets owner Alexander publicly stated that Yao's joining increased his wealth by US$1.2 billion.

You will only earn more in the future.

In 2017, when he sold the Rockets, the market value of the team, which was purchased for US$85 million, had increased to US$2.2 billion, a 25-fold increase.

Of course, before 2002, the increase in market value of the Rockets was not obvious, and it was the big increase after that.

This is just the market value. Advertising revenue, tickets, peripherals, etc., the income far exceeds the market value.

No matter how you look at it, this is an extremely high-quality investment project.

And it is not difficult to acquire the Rockets.

After all, David Stern is crazy about opening up the Chinese market. He absolutely supports the emergence of a Chinese boss in the NBA.

The key is Alexander.

If you want to convince him, you have to be willing to spend money.

It just so happens that the Rockets' performance this year is as bad as a piece of shit. The golden double guns composed of Mobley and Francis are all misfiring. If the performance is not good, the offer will not be too exaggerated.

As for the No. 1 pick, that will have to wait until after the ‘lottery meeting’ in May next year. Xu Liang will definitely not be able to wait until this time to acquire it.

"Mr. Xu, I will organize a team to go to Houston immediately."

Xu Liang waved his hand, "Don't be anxious. Only by knowing your enemy and your ally can you win every battle. You should first understand the NBA and the current Rockets before approaching. Only in this way can you accurately judge the value of the Rockets and have confidence in talking about it.

Otherwise, how do you know whether the price given by others is too much or too little? "

Zhao Xun took a breath and calmed down.

He was very depressed during this period, and he obviously felt the tremendous pressure from the hedge fund department and became a little impatient.

"I understand, Mr. Xu."

"This is the first project that you personally lead. You must take it seriously, do a good job of investigation, and don't rush to contact the Rockets."

"yes."

"One more thing, I plan to set up 'Qinglong', the first hedge fund to raise external funds under the hedge fund department. You can call the investment banks we have cooperated with to see if they are willing to be our investors. .”

Establishing an external hedge fund is something he has been considering for some time.

He knew that his money making was destined to be hidden from everyone.

Rather than living alone and being pushed by others, it is better to attract these big capitals. Anyway, he knows that there are so many investment opportunities that his family can't take them all.

And in this way, he can expand his network of contacts.

It not only strengthens its own position, but also protects the development of its subsidiaries such as Hongmeng, New Dream, and Hanhua.

At any time, interests are the strongest bond between the two parties.

Xu Liang took out a stack of documents from Lu Hui's briefcase and handed them over.

"This is the information of our 'Qinglong Fund', please take a look."

Zhao Xun took it and quickly read it several times, "Don't worry, I'll call you right away."

Xu Liang nodded and stood up.

"That's all I have to say, I'll wait to see your results."

"yes."

After leaving the company, I saw that it was getting late, so I returned to the Peninsula Hotel.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the bustling Victoria Bay.

"Lu Hui? Please inquire about Xiangjiang Villa during this period."

Xiangjiang is the window of China's economy. He will most likely come here often, so it is necessary to buy a villa with better confidentiality. The key is that he has money now and there is no need to wrong himself anymore.

"yes."

After agreeing, "Mr. Xu, at 9:30 tomorrow morning, you have made an appointment with Sherron Watkins, president of Morgan Stanley Asia, to meet at the Peninsula Hotel restaurant. Maybe we can ask him about the villa. "

Xu Liang suddenly realized, "If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten about our meeting tomorrow."

Then he nodded and said, "Your suggestion is good. Damo has been in Xiangjiang for many years and has a network of connections in all aspects. It is much more convenient for them to take action than to find it ourselves."

Lu Hui smiled and nodded.

"Call Qu Guangyun and tell him that I will go to the company tomorrow afternoon."

"OK."

——

The next day, a private room in the Peninsula Hotel restaurant.

Sherron Watkins looked at the smiling young man sitting opposite, still feeling a bit of shock after seeing the fax from the headquarters.

Take a slight breath.

"Mr. Xu, I didn't expect that you not only have extraordinary talents in the technology industry, but also have extraordinary talents in financial investment."

"Mr. Watkins, I'm sorry. In terms of financial talent, I can't compare to you." Xu Liang said with a smile.

Watkins shook his head, "I can't imagine that Mr. Xu can make more than a billion dollars with a single investment."

Although Hongyan Fund has found many vests for itself and operates on more than a dozen investment banking platforms, for these predators who have been in the international financial market for hundreds of years, have deep roots and intricate network of relationships, it is difficult to figure out what they are like. The profit range is not difficult.

After all, the source of his funds is not difficult to check.

Whether it is using Yahoo! Japan to borrow money or selling the website to China to Microsoft, there are traces to follow.

"Mr. Watkins thinks too highly of me. Hongyan did make some money, but not as amazing as a billion dollars."

Sherron Watkins smiled. He had lived in Xiangjiang for many years and he knew very well the Chinese people's tendency to keep their wealth secret, so he did not continue the topic.

"Mr. Xu, we at Morgan admire Mr. Xu's investment ability very much, so we want to cooperate with Hongyan."

"cooperate?"

“We, Morgan @, invested US$50 million, and Hongyan was responsible for the management. After making profits, 20% of the net profit after deducting the principal goes to Hongyan, and the rest goes to us.

What do you think of Mr. Xu? "

Xu Liang's business talent and ability in financial investment made Morgan Stanley decide to cooperate with him. The funding of US$50 million was neither too much nor too little.

Thanks to the book friend "Run Qilinzi" for the 100 starting coin reward, thank you very much.
