Chapter 558 End of May
After two phone calls with their CEO, the working groups on both sides quickly connected, and progress was especially smooth.
Su Yehao saw hope.
So a few days later, he cashed out US dollars worth one billion RMB from the account of Dai-Ichi Kangyo Securities in Japan.
Only two short months had passed since his last roadshow in Tokyo, and he had earned a total of more than 130 million US dollars. This money was all recent profit.
Out of consideration for risk control, he never thought about leveraging too much. Small bets are for fun.
As the Nasdaq index continued to rise, the volatility became more intense, with occasional single-day gains and losses exceeding 3%.
Even though the overall trend was still bullish, the short-term risks could not be ignored. In case of a continuous correction for several days, it was very likely that both the principal and profits would be lost.
So taking advantage of the good market, he withdrew a sum of money. The rest was equivalent to continuing to bet with pure profit, which caused him no psychological burden.
He stayed in Pengcheng for four days.
He returned to Hong Kong with Nong Qingying and had a meal with her parents.
The old couple were probably tired of seafood and praised the Sichuan cuisine in the restaurant instead. Nong Qingying's parents had long been calm about the relationship between their daughter and Su Yehao. They never urged him to get married in front of Su Yehao, and they didn't intend to interfere. They were very natural about it.
As for the Qianxin City project, the specific plan was still under negotiation.
Since it involved the development plan of the Qianhai area, the documents had to be sent to the higher authorities for approval, so it would definitely not be possible to implement it for a while.
With a huge investment of hundreds of billions of RMB, and covering several key areas, there was no reason why the park's implementation would be stuck. The uncertainty was only concentrated in the planning and approval stage of residential land, so he needed to be patient and wait.
Anyway, the Nasdaq was still rising, and it was estimated that the funds would not be in place until the end of the year. Many projects were just concepts, and Su Yehao was not in a hurry...
——————————————
Late May.
Half a month had quietly passed since the meeting with Vice President Liu Yangnan, and the audit of Biguiyuan had finally come to an end.
After contacting their boss, Su Yehao negotiated a plan to finance 1 billion RMB. Biguiyuan was valued at 2 billion RMB, and he would hold 33.33% of the shares.
After the two parties reached an agreement, Su Yehao went to find Baoya Jun and the others, and invited a few bad friends to eat at Tao Tao Ju Restaurant.
At noon on May 27th, the group sat at the table, and He Shaofan said:
"After you greeted me last time, Brother Hao, I went home and talked to my dad, and he meant that he could give me 50 million Hong Kong dollars... No, it's to lend it to me, and let you help me invest it. My own father doesn't believe me, but he chooses to believe you. I can't live like this."
On the other side, Zhugan ate ribs, wiped his mouth and smiled:
"Who isn't? I thought my parents wouldn't agree, but I didn't expect them to agree to take out 20 million as soon as I said it. It's a pity that this money doesn't belong to me. It's a direct investment from them. They're afraid that I'll ruin the family. They're guarding me like a thief."
Baoya Jun was unhappy and said gloomily:
"Zhugan, you should be content. Won't it all be yours in the future? There are many brothers and sisters in my family. At most, I'll get three to five million. I'll ask them again when I get back."
Su Yehao had been very busy these days.
Compared with last year, he had a little more official business to deal with every day.
Jiang Shiye's wish to buy the Fook Tsuek Kai Tak Hotel was fulfilled for him a few days ago. In the name of Ganghao Tourism, he successfully acquired the hotel for 219 million, providing new accommodation options for tourists, just in time for the summer tourist season in more than a month.
The procurement of computer parts has also officially started, and it is estimated that the products will not be available for sale until late August or early September.
The assembly of Huang Diamond computers will first be arranged in the high-tech zone of Pengcheng. The factory buildings are provided by the government, and the rent is completely waived as a temporary transition until their own factory is built.
In addition to this, the business in Silicon Valley was also very busy. The number of monthly active users of Google exceeded one million, and Yanwenzi Group was busy building a third-party service platform, plus a large number of game development teams, there were endless trivial matters every day.
The Qianxin City project has not yet been implemented, and the banks have heard the news in advance.
Su Yehao had also met with a lot of people from banks recently, and had tentatively finalized loan intentions totaling more than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Considering that while borrowing money, his assets were also increasing with the investment, overall the debt ratio was still not high. A reasonable debt ratio was not only not harmful, but also had many benefits. It was equivalent to borrowing other people's money and using it to earn money for himself.
Banks have always been in the business of lending umbrellas on sunny days and taking them back on rainy days.
If he didn't seize the time to expand now, when the inflated Yanwenzi Group's stock price depreciated, it would probably not be as easy to borrow so much money again as it is now.
If the Nasdaq-listed Yanwenzi Group was included, Su Yehao was now a big shot managing assets of hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars.
Unfortunately, this big shot of his was a bit of a sham, with half of his net worth being a bubble.
At this moment, after listening to them, Su Yehao calculated the investment and shareholding ratio. It was only a few tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in total, which was nothing.
He said to his friends:
"Anyway, ask me how much you want to invest as soon as possible, and give me an accurate number. In two days, I will draft a contract, and I will sign with them. This private equity target is a pretty good real estate developer. You probably haven't heard of the name Biguiyuan. It's one of the larger ones in the mainland."
Hearing this, He Shaofan waved his hand and said indifferently:
"When it comes to investment, it's fine as long as you like it. We don't understand even if you tell us. Everyone believes in your vision. By the way, when are you going to start construction on the Kai Tak Digital Port? According to my dad, you're also planning to build a building that's more than 300 meters high?"
"Yes, the people from the geological exploration company told me that the shore near the apron can completely support the construction of high-rise buildings, and the foundation's load-bearing capacity is no problem. If we build a super high-rise building, it will be an additional plan. At that time, I'm afraid we will have to discuss it with the government and pay another sum of money to acquire the land."
Su Yehao ate scrambled eggs with tomatoes and continued:
"It's not necessarily 300 meters, maybe it will exceed 400 or 500 meters. I have some ideas in terms of design. I'm planning to build a new landmark according to the shape of a bauhinia flower. There are strong winds in Hong Kong, and it is often invaded by typhoons, so I need to ask the opinion of the architectural designer before making a decision. A regular building looks very boring."
The so-called bauhinia-shaped building actually referred to the Burj Khalifa.
He vaguely remembered that when looking down at the Burj Khalifa from the sky, the shape was like three symmetrical blooming flowers.
Even if he really invested in building such a super landmark building, the entire construction period would last at least five years. Since there was no pressure in terms of funds, Su Yehao certainly hoped to achieve it in one step.
The planning and bidding work for the Kai Tak Digital Port had just begun, especially the commercial real estate part, which was expected to be completed within four years, followed by the residential project.
The preparation stage was the busiest.
With the assets reallocated, only the Qianxin City and wafer foundry projects had not yet been realized. The former already had some clues, and the latter was also being actively promoted.
Su Yehao calmed down and took advantage of the presence of several old friends today to propose: "There have been constant events, big and small, in the first half of this year. I want to rest for a while next. I'm planning to go to Egypt to visit the pyramids and ride camels in the desert. Do you want to go together?"
"How are we going? On your private plane, all expenses paid?" Baoya Jun asked.
He Shaofan followed closely and said:
"I've been to Egypt. I suggest you change the place. Apart from seeing the pyramids, it's not very fun. Why don't we team up and go to Las Vegas? I heard from a friend who returned from studying in the United States that there are beauties everywhere in that place, which is more interesting than our Casino, 1997."
"...A bunch of beasts, aren't there enough foreign girls in Lan Kwai Fong? Do you have to run all the way to Las Vegas?"
After Su Yehao finished speaking, he spat and said, "Don't always think about that kind of thing. Watching beauties is not as comfortable as watching scenery."
Baoya Jun smacked his lips and joked:
"As expected of Brother Hao, who has several girlfriends. He spends all day with Nangong and Jiang Yu. His ideas are different from ordinary people. Some time ago, my dad brewed a pot of deer blood and tiger bone wine. At that time, the first thing I thought of was to give it to you, so as not to lose too much energy, and earn so much money but die young, and no one would inherit the family business."
Glaring at this guy, Su Yehao retorted: "Aren't you engaged? Keep it for yourself, I don't need this stuff."
"Tsk, this should be what others often say, a cooked duck only has a hard mouth left..."
