My Age of Investment

the next day.

early morning.

Xia Jingxing and his mother rushed to the airport with various documents and formalities, and took the earliest flight to Hong Kong.

When Xia Jingxing applied for the US student visa last year, he also applied for the Hong Kong and Macau Pass, which happened to be used this time.

Because the school was over for the summer vacation, his mother had time to accompany him to Hong Kong, while his father was busy with business and couldn't leave, so he couldn't take a family trip.

After getting off the plane and passing the customs inspection, Xia Jingxing used UnionPay card to withdraw a small amount of Hong Kong dollars from the ATM at the airport, but not much, because the exchange rate at the airport was not so cost-effective.

Then he stopped two taxis, and the mother and son went straight to Central, Hong Kong.

After getting off the bus, Zhang Yuqiong sighed a lot when he saw the high-rise and prosperous Central Ring: "Everyone said that Hong Kong is good, this time I saw it in person."

"Mom, this is Central. If you want to see the truest face of Hong Kong, you have to go to public housing, cage houses, and pigeon houses. That is the life of the general public."

Xia Jingxing chuckled, he understood his mother's generation quite a bit. After the change, everything looked at money, earning money, the wave of studying abroad, and the wave of going abroad. He always thought that the moon outside the mainland was more round, and he was extremely unconfident. people.

After the economic conditions improve, the post-90s or post-00s basically no longer have such problems, and the national and national self-confidence has improved a lot.

"What public housing, cage housing?"

Xia Jingxing smiled and explained it to his mother.

"How many square meters can you live in?"

Zhang Yuqiong doesn't quite believe that Hong Kong people are so rich, how can they live in such a small house.

Xia Jingxing smiled, "Some of them are still bunk beds, a few square meters for a family.

Don't think I'm talking nonsense, just look at the housing prices in Hong Kong and how many ordinary working families are, and you'll know what I said is true.

Hong Kong is indeed the Pearl of the Orient and a shopping paradise, but its prosperity does not belong to the middle and lower class people, but to those big real estate developers.

Originally, a small island was not large in size, but it was home to millions of people, typically with more people and less land, and the land was basically controlled by several major real estate families.

These real estate families are very shrewd, they settle down and develop them little by little.

While waiting for the land to appreciate in value, it can sell for a higher price because there are few real estate developed.

A city basically works for those families.

And it may not be a generation, it is the ancestors who have been long-term workers for those real estate families for generations.

Because grandpa couldn't afford a house, so sons and grandsons could only continue to rent houses in the face of ever-higher house prices..."

While walking, Xia Jingxing revealed another world of Hong Kong to her mother.

Zhang Yuqiong saw that her son was right and right, and some believed it.

"How can these people live in such a small house? Why don't they go to the mainland to develop?"

Xia Jingxing laughed, "Mom, you asked a very good question.

Very simple, in their eyes, the mainland is poor! No matter how bad Hong Kong is, it is also Hong Kong.

I have also met many Chinese abroad, and even if life is unsatisfactory, there is a special sense of superiority in front of us Chinese..."

The mother and son were chatting, and when they passed the HSBC Bank Building, Xia Jingxing glanced and left without stopping.

He would never cooperate with such a notorious bank.

He found Wing Lung Bank, which has a good reputation and will be acquired by China Merchants Bank in the future. With the assistance of the staff, it didn't take long to open a bank account for his mother.

The reason why I came to Hong Kong to open a bank account is mainly to avoid the foreign exchange settlement limit of US$50,000 per person per year in China.

And the amount of funds in his hands now far exceeds the amount of 50,000. Either he will take his mother to the United States to open a bank account, or he will go to Hong Kong.

Hong Kong is relatively close, and there are no foreign exchange restrictions, so it is naturally the best choice.

After lunch,

Xia Jingxing brought his mother to the 17th floor of China Insurance Group Building, 141 Des Voeux Road Central. The staff of Firstrade Hong Kong Branch received the notification from the headquarters and warmly received them.

According to the normal account opening process, Zhang Yuqiong provided ID cards, Hong Kong bank cards and other documents, filled out several forms, and completed the account opening application in only ten or twenty minutes.

But even if the review is expedited, the securities investment account will need to be officially opened tomorrow, because there is a 16-hour time difference between Hong Kong and San Francisco, and it is already late at night in San Francisco.

After finishing these things, Xia Jingxing brought his mother to the well-known Peninsula Hotel.

The Peninsula Hotel, opened in 1928, has the title of "The Lady of the Far East" and is one of the most famous hotels in the world.

Seeing the grand momentum of the hotel, before anyone entered, Zhang Yuqiong showed her timidity and quietly asked her son's price.

After hearing that the cheapest room costs several thousand Hong Kong dollars, Zhang Yuqiong immediately retreated.

Xia Jingxing took a lot of effort to convince his mother.

Entering the splendid reception hall, Zhang Yuqiong asked again: "For such an expensive hotel, does your Facebook company really reimburse you?"

Xia Jingxing has listened to her mother's question eight times, and still explained patiently: "It will definitely be reimbursed, I came to Hong Kong to open a securities account, and I am serving the company in earnest, so can I be reimbursed for the travel expenses?

If I don't reimburse, I will let the finance package cover me immediately and get out of here! "

"Hey, even if the company reimburses you, it's still not worthwhile for you to take a large share!"

Xia Jingxing sighed, "Mom, I have returned all the money I invested in the company to my father.

The rest is for nothing, spend as much as you want. "

Zhang Yuqiong saw that the little beauty at the front desk kept smiling at their mother and son, and nodded, "Okay, then let's live! Remember to ask for an invoice!"

"Okay, got it!"

Xia Jingxing turned around and said to the front desk with a smile, "Two sea view rooms!"

After arranging the room and arranging for his mother to stay, Xia Jingxing returned to Central by himself.

He found the branch of Bank of America Hong Kong branch and transferred US$2 million to the Hong Kong bank account his mother had just opened.

His mother's bank account number and bank card are completely used by him, so he doesn't have to worry about his mother finding out that the bank card in her name suddenly has a huge sum of money.

His mother has no good impression of investing in equity, let alone investing 2 million US dollars.

One more thing is worse than one less thing, so he can only hide it temporarily and find a chance to explain it later.

After returning to his room at the Peninsula Hotel, he contacted the Firstrade executive who was in charge of connecting with him, urged the other party to expeditiously review the account opening, and asked about the loan.

"Mr. Xia, we have completed the simple due diligence on Facebook. The accounts and equity are very clear. As soon as the securities account is opened tomorrow, $5 million will be credited to your account..."

Although it was late at night in San Francisco, the female executive of Firstrade did not have any impatience, and talked about the borrowing process and progress in great detail.

After Xia Jingxing heard it, he said "thank you" and hung up the phone.

In the evening, after a hearty dinner at the hotel, he accompanied his mother to the nearby Nathan Road and Harbour City for a stroll.

I bought two sets of cosmetics and clothes for my mother, and a watch worth several thousand Hong Kong dollars for my father.

He wanted to buy something more expensive and better, but was stopped by his mother: You want your dad to make a mistake?

Being in the public gate, he really had to pay attention, so Xia Jingxing didn't force it.

After returning to the hotel, his mother was still admiring the night view of Victoria Harbour, and Xia Jingxing had fallen asleep in the next room.

In the middle of the night, an executive of First Securities called, and the beeping tone of the incoming call directly woke Xia Jingxing from his sleep.

Picking up the phone, a middle-aged female voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Xia, the account has been opened..."

After chatting for a while, Xia Jingxing hung up the phone, a carp kicked up and turned over from the bed.

He recharged his energy for a few hours, just to fight late at night.

He's actually fine, just stick with it for a few days. And domestic U.S. stock traders have worked a lot harder, and they are all day and night all year round.

After getting up, he opened the laptop he brought to Hong Kong and logged into his mother's securities account, which showed a balance of US$5 million.

He found Amico stock, whose stock price was fluctuating between $4 and $8, and put up a buy order without leaving a single bullet.

What batches to build positions, shocks and wash dishes have been ignored.

Some time ago, the stock price of Aimico fell to a minimum of 3.1 US dollars, but now it fluctuates between 4-8 US dollars, maybe it will rebound greatly in the next second.

The amount of his capital is not particularly large, but it is not too small. It is almost impossible to quickly accumulate funds without causing stock price fluctuations.

If the stock price rebounds before the position is completed after diligent, it will be a big loss, and the small will lose the big.

The next day, he took his mother to Wing Lung Bank again, opened a bank-securities transfer, and transferred US$2 million into the First Securities account.

Fortunately, his mother didn't know much, so she just watched from the sidelines, quietly being a tool person.

As the client, Xia Jingxing communicated with the bank customer service in English throughout the process, so there was no help.

After staying in Hong Kong for a few days, Xia Jingxing accompanied his mother to various attractions and shopping malls during the day. He would make up for sleep in the evening and get up late at night to watch the plate.

When he returned to Rongcheng with two dark circles under his eyes, the $7 million in the securities account had been exhausted, and at an average price of $6.05 per share, he bought and held 1,150,7025 shares of Amyco.

As soon as he got home, Andrew called him. The tax filing was done, and he only needed to pay more than $890,000 in taxes to the IRS.

Then Xia Jingxing called Bank of America, arranged a transfer, paid the tax, and the matter was over.

Andrew helped him a lot, the matter was settled satisfactorily, and it was time for him to settle the other party's remuneration.

The three-point compensation commission is gone, because the compensation has been given up, and it has become a $5 million loan.

He thought about it and transferred ten thousand dollars to Andrew.

This fat fat man was not polite at all, he called and said "the boss is generous", "Andrew's law firm looks forward to serving you next time"...

Andrew's friend who was a tax accountant was also not helping in vain, and the fee was not low. Xia Jingxing paid another $5,000 in remuneration for this.

Before, he also transferred 500,000 RMB to his father, which is equivalent to about 60,000 US dollars.

When I came to Hong Kong, I stayed in a luxury hotel for a few days, and bought a bunch of clothes and goods. Including the round-trip air ticket, I spent nearly 10,000 US dollars.

Finally, he looked at the balance on his card. A few days ago, there were more than three million US dollars, and now it has directly dropped to more than 50,000 US dollars.
