My 1999

Since it was confirmed that An Kaiyue was pregnant, Xu Liang became more and more attentive to taking care of her.

The sexual intercourse that used to happen several times a day completely stopped.

Professionals including nannies, nutritionists, and medical teams are also in place.

"Honey, look. These are the little clothes I prepared for the baby."

An Kaiyue happily showed her achievements during this period to Xu Liang.

Looking at the little bellyband with messy stitches, Xu Liang smiled and said: "It seems that you are very savvy, and you can make clothes in such a short time."

"Sister Liu taught me well."

An Kaiyue smiled.

"Madam is very understanding and attentive."

Sister Liu, the specially hired nanny next to her, smiled.

Xu Liang smiled and nodded, then stopped when he saw Lu Hui appear at the door from the corner of his eye.

"You guys keep listening to the music, I'm going out for a while."

An Kaiyue also saw Lu Hui and nodded obediently.

"Mr. Xu."

Xu Liang nodded and took her outside.

"What's wrong?"

"It seems that the Qiu family can't hold it in any longer. Qiu Jinshan has called you twice in a row today."

Xu Liang nodded and thought for a moment, "The heat is almost done. ... Are you ready with what I asked you to prepare?"

"Ready."

"Let Huo Gang prepare the car and we go to Qiu's house."

"Mr. Xu, the Qiu family is begging us now, and we still want to visit?" Lu Hui said.

"The old man of the Qiu family is not in good health, so we should pay him a visit. Moreover, although the Qiu family is asking for help from us, if he appears too arrogant, it can easily turn a good thing into a bad thing."

Lu Hui nodded.

The motorcade set off quickly and soon arrived outside Qiu's house, which also lived on Nathan Road.

After ringing the doorbell to announce.

The door of Qiu's courtyard opened wide.

Qiu Jinshan and the Qiu family stood in front of the villa gate to greet him.

Seeing him get out of the car, Qiu Jinshan, who had been looking forward to it for a long time, excitedly greeted him.

Seeing this scene, a middle-aged man in a black suit next to him couldn't help but taunted in a low voice: "Second sister, do you think the eldest brother looks like a bitch?"

Qiu Jinfang, who was next to him, frowned suddenly.

"Jin Hai, your distinguished guest is in front of you. Please stop saying a few words. If you offend someone, my father will not let you off lightly."

Qiu Jinhai curled his lips, somewhat disapproving.

However, he also knew that Xu Liang could not be offended. Although he did not want to make money through Hanhua, he had to admit that the current capital of Hanhua was too huge.

It's not the Qiu family, let alone someone he can offend.

"Mr. Xu, let me introduce to you. This is my second sister Qiu Jinfang. She is currently in charge of the Langmuyuan Hotel owned by the Qiu family."

"Ms. Qiu is truly a heroine. I am deeply impressed by Langmuyuan Hotel."

Xu Liang smiled.

The Goodwood Garden Hotel, located in the Orchard business district, is a famous historical hotel in the Asia-Pacific region. It has a total of 233 guest rooms, 2 outdoor swimming pools, 5 specialty restaurants, etc. It has become one of the world's top luxury hotels and has hosted Jackie Chan, Chow Yun-fat, Boxing champion Ali, Italian blind singer Andrea Bocelli, former Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands and many other celebrities.

Its status is like that of Peninsula Hotel and Xiangjiang, Diaoyutai and Beijing, they are both landmarks.

He also stayed here when he first came to Singapore.

"You've given me the award. Hanhua and Hongmeng are truly world-class companies..."

Before she could finish speaking, Qiu Jinhai quickly reached out his hand.

"Mr. Xu, I am Qiu Jinhai, currently in charge of the Yige Hotel owned by the Qiu family."

Looking at the hand stretched out in front of him, Xu Liang smiled and shook it. Seeing Qiu Jinshan's unnatural smile next to him, there was a hint of amusement in his expression.

Qiu Deba was bedridden and was about to die. The children of the Qiu family also took action to prepare for the family property.

But that has nothing to do with him.

After a brief greeting, Xu Liang was led by Qiu Jinshan to the living room.

After looking around.

"The main purpose of my visit this time is to visit Mr. Qiu. I wonder where he is?"

"Mr. Xu, father is resting upstairs. I will take you there." Qiu Jinhai walked over quickly.

"Good work."

Qiu Jinhai walked in front diligently and took Xu Liang to the second floor.

As soon as he came up, Xu Liang smelled the strong smell of disinfectant.

After pushing open the door to the south, a clean room appeared in front of him.

Wearing a loose hospital gown, Qiu Deba was lying on the bed in the middle. Compared with the last time we met, he was much thinner and his energy was incomparable.

"Mr. Qiu, I'm here to see you."

Xu Liang put the gift he brought on the bedside table.

Inside was a twenty-year-old wild ginseng he brought.

"Mr. Xu is interested, but I am not good enough to greet him personally. I hope Mr. Xu won't be offended."

"You're welcome. You are an elder and I should pay you a visit."

Qiu Deba smiled and pointed to the seat next to him.

"Mr. Xu, please sit down."

Xu Liang sat down on the seat next to him calmly.

"Mr. Qiu, what disease is this?"

"Hemiplegia caused by high blood pressure is an old problem."

"I also know some well-known medical institutions in the West. If Mr. Qiu is willing, I can help introduce them to you."

"Thank you Mr. Xu for your kindness. My family knows about my family affairs. This problem of mine will never be cured." Qiu Deba sighed.

With his status in the Qiu family, he has already seen all the experts in the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular fields, but he still hasn't made any progress, and this is most likely what he will do.

"By the way, I forgot to congratulate Mr. Xu. Hanhua Capital Kunpeng Fund has made huge profits. I am very happy to congratulate you."

Qiu Deba changed the topic.

"Thank you, sir."

After a few polite words, Xu Liang no longer wasted any more time.

"Mr. Qiu, the Qiu family has held shares in Standard Chartered Bank for many years. Do you have any idea of ​​selling them?"

Looking at the young man who was full of confidence, Qiu Deba sighed in his heart.

"finally come."

Ever since the Qiu family's investment in several funds under Hanhua, including 'Kunpeng 2' and 'Qinglong 3', was rejected, he had guessed Xu Liang's plan.

There is a high probability that the other party is interested in the Qiu family's assets.

The Qiu family's core assets are three, including a number of hotels including the Longwood Park Hotel, shares in Maybank, and a 14.9% stake in Standard Chartered Bank.

Xu Liang does not have a hotel business, at least not yet.

Xu Liang is not a Malaysian, and it would be difficult for the acquisition of Maybank to pass government review.

So the biggest possibility is Standard Chartered Bank shares.

As long as they acquire 14.9%, plus the 16.8% held by Xu Liang himself, the sum of the two already exceeds 30.7%. By simply acquiring 3.3% from the secondary market, you can become the largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank and have the ‘veto power’ of major board decisions.

Taking control of a huge bank with a market value of nearly 10 billion US dollars and assets of more than 300 billion US dollars was too tempting for Xu Liang.

It can greatly solve his financing problems.

"Mr. Qiu, Standard Chartered's shares are just a valuable asset in the hands of the Qiu family. From 1986, Mr. Qiu joined forces with the charter king and Australian businessman Robert to acquire 37% of Standard Chartered's shares for 1.3 billion pounds. , the market value of Standard Chartered Bank has only more than doubled.

In comparison, any fund under Hanhua that has been established for more than one year has a higher return than Standard Chartered shares.

For the Qiu family, this asset allocation is actually not up to standard.

Therefore, it is the most appropriate choice to sell this part of the equity, save funds, make rational allocations, and invest in the Qiu family's current main business. "

There was a pause.

"Mr. Qiu, that's all I have to say. How the Qiu family chooses depends entirely on Mr. Qiu's whim."

Qiu Deba looked calm and pondered for a moment.

"If I reject Mr. Xu, will Hanhua Capital also reject the Qiu family's investment?"

Xu Liang smiled and didn't say much.

But his attitude said it all.

If it weren't for Standard Chartered's shares, the Qiu family wouldn't be worth his repeated visits.

"I understand. The matter is serious, Mr. Xu, please let me think about it."

Xu Liang stood up and said, "I'm waiting for the old gentleman's call. I'll take my leave."

"It's rare for Mr. Xu to come here, why not have lunch before leaving?" Qiu Jinshan said quickly.

"No, I have something to do when I go back. I'll come visit you next time."

After declining, Xu Liang left the Qiu family.

After sending him away, everyone went to Qiu Deba's bedroom again.

"I knew that the person named Xu had bad intentions, but I didn't expect that he would actually take a fancy to the Standard Chartered shares in the hands of our Qiu family? Dad, you can't sell the shares to him." Qiu Jinhai said.

"Why not sell and keep it? It won't increase much in a year, so we might as well save the money for investment. If we could have invested more money in Kunpeng Fund, we could have earned hundreds of millions of dollars in returns in a few months, which is not as good as Standard Chartered Strong shares?" Qiu Jinshan couldn't help but ask.

What he regrets most now is that he didn't invest more money in Kunpeng Fund and missed the opportunity.

Looking at his two sons, Qiu Deba shook his head inwardly.

The business abilities of his sons are only ordinary and they are just conservative people.

On the contrary, his daughters inherited his business talent, especially his second daughter Qiu Jinfang. The Langmuyuan Hotel has become more and more prosperous in her hands over the years.

It already looks like the first hotel in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.

Looking at the second daughter thoughtfully.

"Jin Fang, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

"Dad, in just over three years, Xu Liang has risen like a comet, and he is only 22 years old. He is destined to have a bright future.

If the Qiu family can gain his friendship, it will be beneficial to our development without any harm.

In contrast, although Standard Chartered's shares are valuable, it can also bring convenience to our Qiu family in raising funds and enhance our influence in the banking field.

But all of these are not so important compared to Xu Liang, who has unlimited potential.

In addition, I heard that Xu Liang owns Taihua Real Estate, which is mainly engaged in commercial real estate. There are currently more than ten commercial complexes under development or to be developed.

Now that he has made huge amounts of money from oil speculation, his investment in commercial real estate will surely double.

And hotels are indispensable in commercial complexes.

The main business of our Qiu family is hotels. We can cooperate with Taihua. They are responsible for providing the venue and we are responsible for the brand and operation. We can easily expand the Qiu family's hotel industry to the entire China.

By then, our Qiu family's industry will not only be able to move to a higher level, but we will also be able to deepen our friendship with Xu Liang, killing two birds with one stone. "

Looking at his eldest daughter talking freely, Qiu Deba showed a look of approval on his face.

"It's great that you can look at this matter from an overall perspective. I feel relieved to leave the Goodwood Park Hotel to you."

Qiu Jinfang looked happy, but Qiu Jinhai's expression turned even worse.

If the second sister behaves well, she will naturally be able to share more when the family property is divided in the future.
