Past events flashed before my eyes.

Whenever Su Yehao wanted his help, the pressure would undoubtedly be immense.

Whether it was securing the Cyberport project or the later Hong Kong Semiconductor Industrial Park project, Zheng Yongwen was almost driven bald, killing countless brain cells.

After Su Yehao briefly explained.

Zheng Yongwen leaned back in his chair and sighed,

"I feel so silly. Isn't it comfortable to relax at home watching TV, drinking tea, and occasionally playing soccer with friends? Why ask for trouble, when I can't even finish the matters at the company? And now I'm being bossed around by you, adding to my workload. It's just an annual salary of HK$4.5 million, it's not as if I can't earn money elsewhere."

Last time, Zheng Yongwen helped Su Yehao manage his finances, taking 5% of the profits as commission.

In addition to investing his own capital, he earned more than HK$400 million in just two or three months. He was certainly not short of money.

Sitting across from Zheng Yongwen, Su Yehao gestured for Yin Liuli to sit down as well, and said with a smile,

"Is it just the income that matters for the Chief Executive Officer of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange? It's easy to retire. There are plenty of people eyeing your position, eager for you to pack your bags and leave as soon as possible. But before you leave, you still have to help set up the Science and Technology Innovation Board properly. This matter is not about our personal gains, but it is very important to Hong Kong and our compatriots in the mainland."

"... Using reverse psychology?"

Zheng Yongwen shook his head with a wry smile and continued,

"I was just complaining a bit because the work is too busy, I didn't say I definitely wanted to resign. I finally got to this position, wouldn't I be considered a fool if I left now? Besides, I've only accomplished half of what I want to do. Although these three companies have merged, the previous members still have a lot of power. The market order won't improve until their arrogance is suppressed..."

Su Yehao has his own goals.

For example, the internet forum at the beginning of the month, its contribution to the future might be more important than donating HK$50 billion to charity.

With NASDAQ experiencing a major drop, many multinational speculative funds are withdrawing from the US market, searching the world for the next new target worth speculating on.

Even if only a small number of people like Masayoshi Son start eyeing the newly developing internet market in the mainland, it can create quite a stir in this small pond.

And then, like in his previous life, let them seize the quality assets in advance, divide up the dividends brought by the development of the mainland market, and create an awkward scene—

Everyone claims to be a local enterprise, but a look at the list of major shareholders reveals that they are all foreigners, and most of the profits earned are taken away.

By holding forums.

Su Yehao is trying to boost market confidence as much as possible, which has led a group of internet entrepreneurs to no longer panic, reducing the possibility of selling off quality assets cheaply, and also directly affecting potential investors in the mainland.

For example, the four major mainland giants of the sssss asset management company have agreed to Su Yehao's proposal to use the company's own funds to further support the mainland's high-tech industry.

The plan will combine with a group of other state-owned enterprises to add a total of RMB 5 billion in funds, with investment directions mainly covering the internet and semiconductor industries.

If nothing unexpected happens.

This will reduce the influence of foreign capital in the mainland. Although it is a bit of a thankless task for Su Yehao personally, it can keep a large piece of fat in his own pot.

From a long-term perspective, what's behind it may be gains and losses at the level of ten trillion RMB.

Influencing such a crucial historical process through his own butterfly wings, isn't this much more meaningful than picking up a female star, or showing off in the international market?

Similarly, Zheng Yongwen also has his own goals.

In the past two years, some people turned their elbows outward, only caring about their own interests, and almost ruined Hong Kong's economy and future.

The reason why he spared no effort to help facilitate the merger of the three companies was partly for revenge. He wanted to lock the wild horses in a cage and use new rules to restrain them, to avoid repeating the same mistakes.

Now, the power of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the Futures Exchange, and the Clearing House has been brought under the board of directors of this company, which can indeed be regarded as half of the goal completed. The other half of the goal is to completely suppress the old guard and put the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on a new fast track of development, continuing to consolidate Hong Kong's status as an "Asian financial center."

Su Yehao's good impression of Zheng Yongwen mainly stems from the fact that this guy acts with integrity.

During the Southeast Asian financial crisis, he preferred not to make money by entering the market, but instead became the chief financial advisor, painstakingly blocking the multiple attacks of multinational speculative funds, leaving a deep impression.

Therefore, Su Yehao treats him as one of his own, is also happy to interact with him frequently, and exerted his influence to help him get the position of senior executive at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Previously, he joined forces with the shareholders of Green Diamond Real Estate, that is, the group of real estate developers who jointly developed the Cyberport, to forcibly promote him to the top, which took a lot of Su Yehao's effort, and ATV also helped promote him from time to time.

If Zheng Yongwen had relied solely on himself, without connections or resources, not to say that he would have no hope of becoming the current CEO, at least the possibility would have been reduced by 95%.

There are too many people eyeing his position, there are not so many good things that can be picked up for nothing in the world.

Therefore, people think that Zheng Yongwen is actually Su Yehao's spokesperson, and even dug up the old story of his love affair with his little aunt, leading many people to believe that they have guessed the truth, thinking that this is the reason for their closeness.

......

Knowing that he owed Su Yehao a great favor.

After Zheng Yongwen finished communicating with him, he said that he would set up a research team later to specifically discuss the implementation plan for the Science and Technology Innovation Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

After the merger of the three companies, Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited has been listed, and it can be operated according to the model of an enterprise, without having to submit a draft and slowly go through the official process.

At this time.

Su Yehao crossed his legs, without hiding anything, and directly asked: "How long do you think it will take if you want to launch the Science and Technology Innovation Board?"

"I dunno, it depends on how big your, Prince Hao's, influence is. If more than half of the voting rights support you, maybe it can be passed at the next board meeting, or it may be wrangling with each other and dragging it on until next year. Other directors are likely to worry about affecting the interests of other listed companies, there is only so much capital, if some of it is diverted, the liquidity of the main board may decrease."

Just finished speaking.

Zheng Yongwen knocked on the table and added:

"Also, this time the financing introduced many multinational financial companies as shareholders, all of whom have close relationships with NASDAQ. In case NASDAQ intervenes, you may have some trouble getting enough votes. As for these financial companies themselves, they shouldn't make things difficult for you, they can also make money here."

Su Yehao didn't make things difficult for him, nodded and said:

"Okay, I will try my best to promote it. The interests involved are a bit complicated. Honestly, with the scale of NASDAQ, they may not take us seriously. There are many exchanges that learn from it, but which ones have succeeded?"

Zheng Yongwen said with a wry smile:

"So you also know it's difficult to succeed? If the Science and Technology Innovation Board doesn't succeed, all the responsibility will be on me."

Su Yehao pretended not to hear, and only said:

"Then work hard, there is no way to retreat, strive for a resounding success..."
