"Mr. Lu is joking. We are very relieved if someone can catch the eye of Mr. Lu."
Guo Hua could only pray secretly in his heart that the person chosen by Lu Beifeng would not be too cheating.
He knew that the reason why Liu Jian could say such words was not because of the foreign exchange war some time ago.
During this period, Lu Beifeng's company participated twice and played a decisive role, but they only made a small profit, and most of the profits went to Bank of China.
As far as Guo Hua knows, Bank of China will earn no less than 100 billion U.S. dollars in profits during the foreign exchange defense war. Its performance is perfect, and it has the confidence to do anything without panic.
Now taking out 5 billion soft sister coins to support Lu Beifeng's Morningstar Fund is just a waste of money. It won't hurt even if it all loses.
But CITIC is different. Their earnings this year are already poor. If they lose more than ten to two billion, it will inevitably affect the year-end rewards of all employees of the group.
Liu Jian saw what Guo Hua was thinking and said casually: "Brother Guo, why don't we give all the shares to Bank of China, and you, CITIC, can just go through the motions."
He did not want to help Guo Hua out of trouble, but wanted to monopolize Morningstar Fund's tens of billions of investment shares. He was bullying the other party because he had little contact with Lu Beifeng and did not understand Lu Beifeng's character.
If Lu Beifeng really wants to retire behind the scenes, then investing in the Morningstar Fund is definitely a sure-fire deal.
For a project with a cycle of ninety days, even a small profit is not enough. It must make a huge profit.
Because only in this way can those investors be reassured, and Lu Beifeng can retreat behind the scenes with peace of mind.
Otherwise, don’t even think about it.
Investors now dare not provoke Lu Beifeng. After all, the fund is still in a state of profit. Once the fund loses money and harms its own interests, they will not care about Lu Beifeng. It will be useless even if the King of Heaven comes.
Guo Hua glanced sideways at the other party and said calmly: "I don't bother Brother Liu, because our CITIC family has a great business and we can still afford the risk."
He didn't have the confidence at first, but after Liu Jian reminded him, he felt confident instantly.
Losing money is a small matter, but making a mistake is a big deal.
At least he didn't think Liu Jian was so kind. He was definitely a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a rooster.
"All right."
Liu Jian sneered and secretly sighed that he was worried.
He should have waited until he got back and slowly contacted him in private. He had never wanted Old Fox Guo to give any clues.
Guo Hua was slightly proud: "Miscalculated?"
My thoughts changed from prayer at the beginning to expectation. Three months later it was the end of the year, and I was looking forward to the surprise that Morningstar Fund could give them.
Liu Jian's face was expressionless: "That's not the case."
Mr. Lu, a melon-eater on the side, said it was wonderful, is this the competition between state-owned enterprises? I love it!
After a while, Lu Beifeng asked Zhou Chongming to receive them, and said with a smile: "Sorry, I'll go ahead and prepare for the press conference later. If you are interested, you can come and watch."
"Mr. Lu, go and do your work."
Under the leadership of Zhou Chongming, the subscription of Morningstar Fund is proceeding in an orderly manner.
During this period, someone came over to ask how the subscription was progressing and whether there was still a lack of funds. No matter how much the shortfall was, they could make up for it.
Liu Jian is not the only smart person, but they took advantage of it in advance.
Dixing Investment has always been about first come, first served. After hearing this, latecomers can only return disappointed.
Busy until eleven o'clock,
The two parties have formally finalized the contract. CITIC and Bank of China need to remit the funds to the public account of Morningstar Fund within the next seven working days. From the moment the funds arrive, it means that the contract has officially come into effect.
After Zhou Chongming handled the subscription matters, he complained that the reception was not good enough and left in a hurry.
Guo Hua was full of doubts: "Mr. Lu, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?"
"I guess you'll know when you go there."
The doubts in Liu Jian's heart were no less than those of Guo Hua.
But he was even more curious as to whether the news that Lu Beifeng was retiring behind the scenes was true or false.
Judging from Lu Beifeng's behavior, it seems true, but it does not rule out that he is still in charge of the company under the guise of retreating to the second line.
In this aspect of investment, all you need is an idea, a phone call, and remote control.
Even if Lu Beifeng said that all past investments were led by Zhao Zhiming, he was just a man-made legend.
Without evidence, people can only believe it. After all, except for the person who witnessed it with his own eyes, no one can say for sure.
Therefore, it is not too simple to sell dog meat on sheep's head in this aspect.
The press conference was crowded with people. The number of people who came to listen was far more than expected. There were even people standing outside the door.
Zhao Zhiming could only let some people move to the conference room next door to watch the press conference on the big screen.
The venue originally prepared for 300 people suddenly had more than 200 people.
It’s all thanks to Boss Lu’s traffic physique. At other press conferences, reporters are given red envelopes to ask them to help say more nice things.
At the press conference held at their home, reporters wanted to come in even if they wanted to come in, even if they stood far away with cameras set up.
The press conference is separated by a wall.
Lu Beifeng walked to the podium with a microphone in hand.
Pure white T-shirt, blue washed jeans, young and full of vitality.
If you wear this outfit on the road, people will only think of a college student who has just stepped out of the ivory tower, and there is no way to associate it with the world's richest man.
However, the reality is very magical. His name is Lu Beifeng, and he is the richest man in the world today. Countless famous figures have been trampled under his feet.
Lu Beifeng looked at the photographer standing in the last row and asked with a smile: "Friends from the media industry behind you, are you ready?"
More than two dozen media cameras pointed their cameras at him at the same time and waved.
Lu Beifeng bowed and said, "Thank you all here for coming to attend this press conference."
The audience applauded instantly.
Lu Beifeng pressed his palms, and the applause suddenly stopped, and said slowly: "It's not a big deal, it's just news about the change of Dixing Company's shares."
"I don't know if you know that Dixing Investment is a company wholly owned by me."
"A wholly-owned company has many benefits. At least in the early stages of its establishment, it can ensure that there is only one voice in the company, and redundant energy will not be dispersed to other places, which will eventually lead to a jack of all trades but no master of others."
"But when a company develops to a certain stage, it needs to brainstorm ideas, and personal energy is always limited."
"So after some careful consideration, I made a decision and decided to give 25% of my personal shares to Mr. Zhou Chongming, the general manager of the company. I also hope that he can lead the company to create greater glory in the future..."
As soon as this statement came out, the scene was in an uproar.
The assets managed by Dixing Company exceed 4.2 trillion soft sister coins, which is equivalent to 650 billion US dollars.
In East Asia, second only to Japan's Sumitomo Mitsui Asset Management, their managed assets are around US$700 billion, or approximately 4.5 trillion soft currency.
A fund company of the size of Dixing Investment ranks among the top ten in the world, and they are the only private equity fund company among many fund companies.
Numerous professional financial institutions at home and abroad have evaluated it. Even Goldman Sachs, which regards Lu Beifeng as his lifelong enemy, has given a valuation of up to 500 billion soft sister coins.
Some professional financial experts say that if Dixing Investment transforms from a private equity fund into a public equity fund, its valuation will at least double again, reaching a market value of one trillion yuan.
Once they become public funds, they must publish the company's financial statements. They can also successfully impact the world's top 100 companies with ultra-high net profits.
But this is just saying that, as long as Lu Beifeng has no problems in his head, he will not think about transforming into a public fund.
Countless public funds want to transform into private equity. Dixing Investment is on the right path, so how can it go against the grain?
But even today’s valuation of 500 billion is definitely not a small amount.
Lu Beifeng casually stated that giving up 25% of the company's shares is equivalent to giving up 125 billion soft sister coins.
This kind of courage and determination,
How come it's not shocking.
Everyone in the audience had different expressions, and they all fell into deep thought. What was the purpose of Lu Beifeng's move?
Is it really not a rumor to take a back seat?
But fact?
Principal Wang watched Zhou Chongming slowly walk up to the podium and make a speech, feeling unable to calm down for a long time.
Zhou Chongming, who already has a net worth of more than 80 billion, will probably rank third in the country in terms of personal wealth after today. If the old horse doesn't work hard, he can even become the second in the country, second only to Lu Beifeng.
The second person under the age of 30 in China, and perhaps the second person under the age of 30 in the world.
Principal Wang felt unhappy in every way.
They used to be called the son of so-and-so, but now he is still the son of so-and-so, and Zhou Chongming has become Mr. Zhou and no longer needs the prefix from others.
What he couldn't accept the most was that the opportunity should have belonged to him. Lu Beifeng met him first at first, and later met Zhou Chongming through him.
Because of his damn pride and his inability to let go of his figure, the gap between the two grew wider and wider.
