In late autumn, there is continuous light rain. The "Cao Garden" on the bank of the Qinhuai River is bathed in the autumn rain, and the exquisite garden is magnificent.
Cao Zhuang made an appointment with a few friends to have a drink in the garden and enjoy the rain. Beautiful waiters dressed in Republican-style college uniforms were serving wine nearby.
In his early years, Cao Zhuang was a teacher at a university in Jinling City, teaching Chinese. With his current age of 52, the school where he taught twenty or thirty years ago has naturally gone through changes. Today it is Jinling University of Science and Technology.
He is now in business and has a net worth of over 5 billion. Naturally, he has friends from all walks of life in Jinling. Those who are here today are his business friends.
"Old Cao, your garden has different scenery in spring, summer, autumn and winter. The more I look at it, the more elegant it becomes!"
"that is."
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, everyone chatted leisurely.
Someone smiled and said: "Old Cao, I heard that you were very busy at President Jing's wedding of the Phoenix Group some time ago. That's awesome! None of us have ever been in contact with President Jing's circle of friends!"
"This Mr. Jing is really powerful. There are rumors in the world that he caused Li Huagua's young son to suffer a big loss a month ago. The heroine of Tomson Group bowed his head. No Hong Kong investor in the entertainment industry dares to work in Phoenix Film and Television
In front of me, Canada is extremely well-behaved."
"Hey, what do you mean by this? Our Jinling is not far from the Magic City, and Lao Wang has also invested in several movies and TV series. He also knows everything about the film and television industry. Aren't Hong Kong investors always very arrogant? It's capital!"
The man chuckled and said: "In the middle of this month, a new young actor from Beijing Film Studio has no agency contract, and the Hong Kong investors are negotiating with him. They are using all kinds of methods. Phoenix Film and Television has come from behind, and the Hong Kong investors are talking nonsense.
He said, withdraw immediately.
They are afraid that if this matter is spread to Mr. Jing’s ears, there might be another round of bloodbath in the capital market and one of them will die. In the capital market, Mr. Jing’s weight is getting heavier and heavier.”
"This is it. The valuation of Bank of East Asia, which has recently shifted its focus to overseas markets, has begun to rise again. Lao Cao, how much is it? I regret not listening to you and investing more."
Cao Zhuang was wearing a cloth shirt, with white hair at the temples. He was of medium height and had the air of an elegant and handsome middle-aged man. He picked up an elegant wine glass and took a sip of rice wine. It was raining continuously outside the window. He smiled and said: "The recent increase is almost close to 60 billion.
Hong Kong dollar. One is due to the integration of resources between LP Investment Group and Bank of East Asia and its transformation into a mixed-business investment bank.
The second is that Bank of East Asia recently joined hands with Phoenix Pay and Uber to launch taxi-hailing and payment services in Nanyang, which have initially achieved success. The capital market immediately gave feedback. Lao Feng, you regret it, you can invest more now!"
As soon as these words came out, several friends immediately became interested. Cao Zhuang's words were obviously bullish. It was inside information!
Who doesn't know that Lao Cao and Mr. Jing are close to each other now? Otherwise, how could Lao Cao be qualified to help Mr. Jing's wedding? Even Tan Yunqiu, a famous lady from a well-known family in Jinling City, only got a seat for the wedding.
Of course, I heard that the provincial TV crew filmed Mr. Jing’s wedding. This job was introduced by Tan Yunqiu.
Someone was drinking wine happily and said: "Old Cao, I have a question. The structure of the Bank of East Asia is really hard to understand!"
Bank of East Asia is a Hong Kong-listed company, and its financial reports, board of directors, and top ten shareholders are all public and traceable. The merger of Bank of East Asia and LP Investment Group is indeed a bit confusing to outsiders.
.
"Look, LP Investment Group acquired the shares of Bank of East Asia and became the largest shareholder and actual controller of Bank of East Asia, accounting for 45% of the shares. The original major shareholders Jiuge Capital and Morningside Bank held a total of 32% of the shares.
Speaking of which, the control of Bank of East Asia is still in the hands of Mr. Jing. However, LP Group has become a holding company, and all its subordinate personnel and assets have been converted into the investment department of Bank of East Asia in this merger.
What’s the point of doing this? It’s not just to kick out the Li family, the founding family of Bank of East Asia, right?”
"Old Liu is right. It is understandable to integrate resources. But according to the latest adjustment, Bank of East Asia has begun to implement AB shares. What is this? Are you always ready to cash out at a high level?"
In April 2018, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange revised its rules and regulations and added a system of different rights for the same shares. It is also commonly known as the AB share system.
Cao Zhuang smiled faintly and said: "I don't know the inside story of the merger of East Asia Galaxy and LP Group. If you want to know, you have to call Mr. Guo. But I have some opinions about the AB share system."
Several men looked towards Cao Zhuang.
Cao Zhuang took a leisurely sip of rice wine, which was mellow and silky, and said: "You should have heard that Mr. Guo was born in the direct line of the Guo family in Malaysia. This time, Bank of East Asia has successfully launched a series of layouts in Nanyang. It can be said that it is as good as domestic
Other major Internet companies outside of China are latecomers, and this is the reason.
Therefore, those wealthy families in Nanyang may give some shares of Bank of East Asia in exchange in the future. Mr. Jing has always been very generous when it comes to profit sharing! His structure is outstanding and his magnanimity is great.
The situation here is different from that in Europe and the United States. As you all know, the equity of large companies has not experienced hundreds of years of development and has not yet been divided into small shareholders.
For example, the purest bloodline of the Morgan Financial Group is recognized to be inherited by Morgan Stanley. However, after experiencing the impact of the 2008 financial crisis, its prestige is no longer there.
The reason why I am bullish on the Bank of East Asia is also very simple. If the Bank of East Asia can attract all the Chinese wealthy people from Nanyang to this plate, and take the leadership and control of Mr. Jing’s company, then this mixed bank will be the first of the Oriental Bank.
Morgan Stanley!
Of course, such financial institutions will not be allowed to develop significantly in our mainland. However, I think its valuation may still exceed HK$500 billion."
"I think Lao Cao's words are a bit exaggerated. How close is the valuation to US$70 billion? But I still decided to invest. If the Bank of East Asia can integrate the resources of the Chinese wealthy in Southeast Asia and unify them under the banner of Mr. Jing, and the European and American
The consortium has no problem at all in using its tricks in Southeast Asia."
"Depend on."
"If Lao Liu wants to be coquettish, it's you who is coquettish. He just changed the subject."
"Vote. I will vote too."
Lao Liu said: "Damn it!"
The six old men laughed and raised their wine glasses again and drank together. The scene was so noisy that it was completely unimaginable that it was all about a few millionaires with a net worth of more than 1 billion partying. The four waiters dressed as university students from the Republic of China who were serving wine in the pavilion did not care.
No matter what I was thinking, I still stood upright.
The topic immediately shifted from the Bank of East Asia, where everyone had a share in making a fortune, to Jing Gao. As for the Bank of East Asia, Cao Zhuang's operations are divided into several levels, and his close friends naturally wanted to talk and encourage them.
Investment, which will help his status in his circle of friends afterwards.
On the other hand, those who are more distant from each other will set up funds and promise high investment returns of 8% to 15%. This is also a favor. They then invest the money they have gathered into the Bank of East Asia. In fact, the stock valuation of Bank of East Asia is high, and they
There is another reason not mentioned, that is, their funds are all grabbing the remaining outstanding shares of Bank of East Asia. How can the stock price not be pushed up?
As for the five business friends who were entertained by Caozhuang, some of them invested five million, and the most invested 20 million. On the one hand, they made money because of the news from Caozhuang, and on the other hand, they naturally
