My Age of Investment
One thousand four hundred and thirty, one pound
After staying in Ukraine for more than half a month, when the first group of experts and their families successfully arrived in the capital on a chartered flight, Xia Jingxing left for the UK.
After arriving in London, Xia Jingxing met with Stephen Hearst who came to discuss business in the Vision Capital office on the 49th floor of the Canary Wharf Tower.
The new CEO of Royal Bank of Scotland, who was appointed last year, seems to be in good spirits.
This is because the financial crisis is over and the Royal Bank of Scotland has emerged from the shadow of bankruptcy. As CEO, Stephen has withstood the test and received praise from all walks of life, and the pressure has suddenly been relieved.
Xia Jingxing remembered that this guy came to him in a hurry just a few days after taking office last year, hoping that Vision Capital would take over the Bank of China shares held by Royal Bank of Scotland.
At that time, Stephen was like an ant on a hot pot, but now he has finally regained a bit of the style of an English gentleman.
Stephen put down the coffee in his hand gracefully and said: "Darren, thank you very much for your help. If the 2 billion pounds of Bank of China shares had not been sold, I don't think the Royal Bank of Scotland would have gotten out of the debt crisis so quickly."
"Mr. Hurst, I think this is just a trivial factor. The Royal Bank of Scotland's ability to get out of the debt crisis depends more on your wise leadership."
After saying this with a smile, Xia Jingxing picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip.
Stephen laughed dryly, then looked straight at Xia Jingxing, "Darren, have you made a lot of money from this investment?"
"In fact, you didn't make much money. You sold 10.809 billion shares to Fuxing Industrial Investment Fund at HK$1.7 per share, which is equivalent to approximately 4.26% of the total equity of Bank of China.
The current share price of Bank of China's H shares is hovering between HK$4.50 and HK$5, which means you can only earn a few cups of coffee. "
Seeing Xia Jingxing's understatement, Stephen felt a twinge of pain.
Shet, you made a mistake!
At the beginning of the year, as soon as the three-year lock-in period expired, Royal Bank of Scotland jumped off the building to sell off its Bank of China shares like it was avoiding the plague.
Afraid that no organization would take over, Stephen shyly approached Xia Jingxing for help.
In order to persuade Xia Jingxing to help, Stephen also reached a deal with Xia Jingxing.
I thought that Xia Jingxing would get angry afterwards, but he didn't expect that the clown would be himself.
Stephen choked angrily: "Darren, the coffee you sell is quite expensive. I only drank two cups and made less money...well, almost 4 billion US dollars."
Xia Jingxing looked at Stephen with a smile. There are so many regret medicines in the world that can be sold. I will earn you 4 billion U.S. dollars and buy you two cups of coffee. It is almost even. Why are you still struggling!
Sitting next to Xia Jingxing, General Hengha, Li Yaozu and Liu Hai all felt a little contempt for the British guy in front of them. They couldn't afford to lose!
At the beginning of the year, the financial tsunami swept through the banking industry around the world. Who the hell dared to take action at that time.
At this critical moment, Mr. Xia stepped forward and with a wave of his hand, tens of billions of dollars were spilled out. With such courage and courage, shouldn't he make this money?
When Stephen saw that Xia Jingxing didn't answer, he asked for trouble. He sighed and said, "Darren, you are really too judgmental. I heard that you also took over Bank of America Merrill Lynch, UBS, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, and Allianz." The shares held by financial giants in banks such as China Construction Engineering Construction have invested tens of billions of dollars in total, and the returns have been unimaginable."
Xia Jingxing smiled, why didn't you say that at the beginning of the year, all the foreign financial giants who frantically fled China's banking industry took me as their scapegoat?
However, it was quite satisfying for him to be taken advantage of. In less than a year, he made more than 10 billion US dollars.
The Fuxing Industrial Investment Fund has been operating for more than a year, and so far it has invested less than 20 billion yuan, and more than 80 billion yuan of funds are still idle.
In this case, it is necessary to allocate assets in the form of long-, medium- and short-term investments to match the consumption of investment funds to achieve the best state of asset allocation.
The asset allocation arranged by Xia Jingxing was unconventional. At the beginning of the year, he took over the shares of the four major banks sold by foreign investors and reaped the huge dividends from the stock price rebound.
Among them, the share price of Bank of China has increased significantly, nearly tripling compared with the beginning of the year. The share prices of the other three banks have increased slightly, but they have also increased by about double. Bajie Zhongwen website
Calculated, the net profit of Renaissance Industrial Investment Fund's tens of billions of dollars in investment in the four major bank stocks reached between US$12 billion and US$13 billion.
The rate of return is not too high, but the absolute value of the profit is very considerable.
If it continues to operate like this, if the hundreds of billions of Fuxing Industrial Investment Fund continues to invest, I am afraid that the amount of funds will increase from 100 billion to 200 billion.
It is obviously an industrial capital with slow investment returns, but it takes into account the characteristics and rate of return of hedge funds.
All this is thanks to the help of international friends!
At that time, Xia Jingxing decided to let the Renaissance Industrial Investment Fund take action to protect the four major banks. On the one hand, he received an invitation to help from China Investment Corporation, and on the other hand, he also used this matter to make some small transactions with several major foreign financial giants.
It's like making money and getting two favors by the way.
For example, Stephen, the CEO of the Royal Bank of Scotland in front of him, although Xia Jingxing made money from his bank, their bank still has to remember Xia Jingxing's good deeds.
"Mr. Hurst, let's talk about business. We made an agreement a year ago."
Stephen sighed in his heart, nodded and said: "I know that I came to you today to fulfill our agreement.
Liverpool FC is currently overburdened with debt, and both major shareholders Gillette and Hicks have been eliminated. As Liverpool's largest creditor, Royal Bank of Scotland, after communicating with other creditors, can currently dispose of Liverpool FC on behalf of the entire creditors committee.
In other words, Darren, if you want to win Liverpool FC, your negotiating opponent is me now! "
Xia Jingxing glanced at Stephen, who had a serious expression, and sneered: "What kind of opponent! Mr. Hester, we are partners, the kind of partners who have signed an agreement.
Without further ado, I want Liverpool FC. "
"What's your quote?"
Xia Jingxing looked surprised and said: "What offer? Oh, I understand. All the debts will be mine, and then I will pay a symbolic payment of one pound."
"Daerun, you can't do this, it looks too ugly."
Xia Jingxing leaned over and looked at Stephen, and said in a very serious tone: "Mr. Hester, don't forget, we have an agreement."
"I know there is an agreement, but you have made 4 billion US dollars through the Bank of China shares transaction, do you still want to get a Liverpool club for free?"
"I don't care. We have an agreement. The additional condition for Renaissance Industrial Investment Fund to take over the Bank of China shares held by Royal Bank of Scotland is to sell Liverpool FC to us."
Seeing Xia Jingxing's aggressive questioning, Stephen's tone suddenly softened, "Darren, if we insist on conducting the transaction like this, those English football hooligans may think that we are operating behind the scenes and belittling their beloved club."
"This is after we complete the deal and I will tell them to shut up.
Now Liverpool has become negative equity, with debt exceeding the club's net assets. No matter how you evaluate it, this is a smelly piece of shit.
We are willing to assume all debts and spend huge sums of money to rebuild the team and build a new stadium to bring jobs and new hope to the city of Liverpool. I don’t think any fan, Liverpool citizen or British citizen will refuse. , will feel unreasonable. "
Stephen said calmly: "One of your Chinese entrepreneurs who loves football, "Zhu", has said that he will buy Liverpool for 800 million pounds."
"Zhu? Zhu Jun? He is just a cannonball. His total net worth is less than 800 million pounds.
His game company has been beaten badly by my own game company in recent years, and this year it lost the Chinese agency rights for "World of Warcraft". If you ask around in China, you will know that this kid is finished. "
Stephen was silent for a moment and said: "Darren, can't we really add a little more money? For example, interest on the debt and liquidated damages."
"I can't be taken advantage of. The debt is whatever it is, and you won't lose a penny.
And you can get the money right away, you have to have confidence in my cash flow. "
Stephen took a deep breath, and then said: "Okay, Liverpool is yours, when do we sign the contract?"
"After you have cleaned away the flies first, we can officially take over."
Stephen was a little speechless. The guy opposite must be paying attention to everything secretly, otherwise he wouldn't know so much about Liverpool's situation.
The two American Liverpool shareholders that the Royal Bank of Scotland kicked out were not content to be kicked out, and were expelled empty-handed. They are now suing Liverpool FC and the Royal Bank of Scotland in the United States, London, England and other places.
Since Xia Jingxing didn't want to get his hands dirty, RBS could only continue to be the villain.
"No problem, you will hear the good news soon."
Xia Jingxing picked up the coffee and gestured to Stephen, smiling and saying, "Then I'll just wait for the good news."
Stephen left in a hurry with his entourage.
Xia Jingxing sneered at the group of people leaving. Since I said I wanted to have sex for free, I won’t pay even one pound more.
No, I still paid a pound!
It's a pity that the free prostitution plan has not been fully successful, and it is still a little less charming than Professor Wolf.
We must continue to train and strengthen our white prostitution skills!
