Chapter 1301 Unexpected News

Old Mr. Su drank a bit too much at dinner.

Su Yehao didn't dare to spoil his good mood. He asked his mother to take care of him and slipped away first.

He bought some Oden and pineapple buns nearby, taking them back to Deep Water Bay as a midnight snack for Nangong Tian. Jiang Yu still mostly lived at home, and didn't leave with him tonight.

She said she wanted to help Master Jiang with some research, but there wasn't much to research.

On his way home, Su Yehao had already contacted the bank to arrange for someone to handle Master Jiang's loan. He also requested recent land auction information from the mainland, learning that there was one more before the Spring Festival.

He would hurry to register a company to catch up with a good plot of land just released in Nanshan after demolition, only a little over a thousand meters from the Shahe Golf Course, mostly surrounded by new buildings after demolition.

He contacted Jiang Yu before arriving home, asking her to pass the message on to Master Jiang. This was just a small favor for Su Yehao.

The Su family had both a construction team and a building materials supply chain in Pengcheng. They dared to build the Qianxin City building complex, let alone some mid-to-high-end residential buildings.

With these resources, Master Jiang's third spring in his career would start from a much higher point than others.

His first spring was working as a master for Sihai International, and the second was founding Ganghao Tourism Company. It was fair to say that his move into the real estate industry was his third spring.

Now, Guangzhou City alone had two or three thousand large and small real estate companies. The barrier to entry for this industry was relatively low, and it happened to be Master Jiang's old profession. He had handled several Hong Kong Island real estate projects in his early years and had experience with it.

When Su Yehao arrived home, the little girl was watching TV in the bedroom.

The show that Tianyu Entertainment released on New Year's Day was called *You Who Came From the Stars*. Su Yehao only provided the idea of ​​stopping time. He didn't know much about the specific plot. It was nothing more than lovey-dovey stuff. A cold male lead meets a female celebrity. The screenwriter of *Boys Over Flowers* was very experienced with this.

While the little girl was eating her midnight snack, Su Yehao briefly mentioned Master Jiang's plan to start a business, stating:

"I know that most of your private money has been invested in Tianyu Entertainment. Jiang Yu didn't invest as much money as you, but her shares remain the same. In a way, you've suffered a bit. If this trend continues, she might become richer than you in the future. How about I help you invest in a real estate company, hitch a ride, pick a promising enterprise, and help you raise three to five hundred million Hong Kong dollars?"

The little girl sat cross-legged on the chair and said in an indifferent tone, "Anyway, I have no use for money. If I spend it, I spend it. Jiang Yu mentioned to me that the money I invested is considered a loan to the company, and it will be returned to me in the future."

"One thing is one thing. Otherwise, let's do this. The money you invested in the company will be considered a gift from me, and I'll replenish your private money. I can't let you suffer."

Su Yehao had long planned to establish a family trust. This part of his assets would only be distributed to his children as dividends in the future.

As for how much assets the girls leave for their children, that's their own business. The amount of assets directly determines the future worth of the children, so it's necessary to calculate it clearly.

Mr. Tang had earnestly reminded him to keep the words "treat everyone equally" in mind at all times. Women are especially emotional, and they don't suffer from scarcity but from inequality. It's necessary to balance the asset situation between them.

Nong Qingying owns land on Taipa Island, as well as shares in companies such as SK-II and Sohu. She plans to raise one billion Hong Kong dollars to invest in the Sihai Casino project and doesn't need Su Yehao to worry about it for the time being.

As for Yin Liuli, she doesn't have much attachment to money. The last time Google was financed, Su Yehao helped her allocate 2% of Google's shares, plus some shares of mainland listed companies, including Gree, Vanke, Yili, etc. Her personality is more suitable for sitting at home and collecting dividends, so she doesn't need to worry in the future.

The girls who are close to the water get the moon first. If their net worth is not at least ten billion Hong Kong dollars in twenty years, it would be considered Su Yehao's failure. He says he doesn't plan to give money to his children, but in fact, he has already prepared it in advance.

The little girl didn't think that far.

Although she likes to buy clothes and spends money lavishly, her annual expenses are only about one or two million Hong Kong dollars, which even her mother, Mrs. Nangong, can easily afford.

In addition, she had become numb due to Su Yehao's wealth, and didn't care much about money. After listening, she calmly said:

"Whatever you want. This show is really interesting! The ratings will definitely explode. The male lead came to Earth four hundred years ago and was actually madly pursued by Chen Yuanyuan from the brothel. Later, he took a boat abroad and even guided others to improve the steam engine, and met Van Gogh. I'm going to give the screenwriter a bonus tomorrow!"

"..."

These ideas had nothing to do with Su Yehao. He said with interest, "Pick a time to bring back the entire series, and we'll watch it in the home theater. It's silly to slowly chase after the show that we invested in ourselves, watching one or two episodes at a time, and having to watch commercials. You eat first. I'll go to the study to check my emails. Bring me my clothes later. I want to take a shower."

Arriving in the study and turning on the computer, the number of emails plummeted because the companies were still on holiday today.

The stock market was not trading, and the Yanwenzi Group's market value remained at 9.2 billion US dollars. The stock prices of Apple and Amazon were both a few points lower than Su Yehao's purchase price, with an average loss of more than six percent.

In other words, Su Yehao would only break even when Apple and Amazon's stock prices rose by six points. Adding the premium part acquired from the major shareholders, plus the commission fees paid to Goldman Sachs, the cost would definitely be higher than the circulating stock price.

Browsing newsmicroblog and Yinhai Weibo, time flew by and it was 9:50 PM.

Suddenly, a breaking news item popped up on the website. The old Americans had actually launched a surprise attack during the holiday. On the morning of January 3rd, Eastern Time, they publicly announced their actions. Under the banner of retaliating for the 11/10 incident, they held a press conference in Washington.

Su Yehao's influence there was relatively weak, and he didn't know the specific timing of the attack beforehand, so he didn't make any arrangements.

If it had been like the time they took action against Old Yin with a bag of laundry detergent, he would have remembered the surge in international oil prices. But this time, even he had no idea what the impact would be.

Since he couldn't see an opportunity to take action, the best choice was to wait and see. He made more than 200 million US dollars shorting crude oil futures before the holiday because the transportation industry was sluggish, the number of people traveling during Christmas had fallen sharply, the economic situation was terrible, and the production capacity of major oil-producing countries was at a high level. This was combined with the old Americans lowering inflation and stimulating employment and the economy.

At this critical moment, no one dared to add fuel to the fire easily. It would be strange if crude oil prices didn't fall.

Including the old Americans' sudden announcement of their actions, it was also within expectations. Su Yehao wasn't surprised at all. He was just wondering how long they would struggle in the quagmire this time. He guessed that the arms dealers had already started holding parties to celebrate.

In addition, another piece of news caught his attention.

This morning, Citibank and Pudong Development Bank signed a strategic cooperation agreement, and Citibank successfully acquired 5% of Pudong Development Bank's shares.

Since joining the WTO, there had been constant movement in the mainland since November.

Su Yehao also had some thoughts about these bank stocks. Although he didn't have much spare money himself, 5S Asset Management Company still had some idle funds...
