"The Hong Kong Stock Exchange recently held a board meeting. According to insiders, related to the listing of Penguin, Xiangjiang Capital Market does not rule out the possibility of amending the listing rules and consulting the public."
"The suspicion surrounding Penguin's listing in Hong Kong, which was once rumored, has yet to be cleared up. Recently, the group's sponsor candidate list has been clarified, and none of the Hong Kong investment banks have been shortlisted..."
"Wow."
Chen Xiaowen threw the newspaper aside irritably, picked up the coffee, and took a sip. It had been cold for too long, and the taste became more and more bitter.
"Dongdongdong~"
When Zhang Huafeng heard "Please come in" outside the door, he immediately pushed the door open and took off his tight tie while gasping for breath.
"What do the leaders from the mainland say?"
Chen Xiaowen quickly poured a cup of coffee.
Zhang Huafeng smiled bitterly and shook his head. The provinces and cities did not dare to force Penguin. He was deeply afraid that he would accidentally anger Mr. Lu. When Penguin was listed on the market, he moved from Pengcheng to Yanjing.
Besides, he also has big taxpayers such as Logic.
Today's Pengcheng is vaguely shaped like Echeng.
"How about the Hong Kong Stock Exchange?"
"The first round of voting was held internally."
"Do more people support the amendment or do they oppose it?"
"There were 9 votes against it and only 4 votes in favor."
Chen Xiaowen sighed. There are a total of 13 directors on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, 7 of whom are directly nominated by the government, and 6 of whom are nominated by the shareholders' meeting. Among them, the local faction representing Hong Kong's interests is so entrenched that it is impossible to invest in mainland companies after several rounds of investment.
compromise.
"It's better to save face and not give up."
There was disappointment in Zhang Huafeng's eyes, "Then why did you ask us to come? Alas, Xiaowen, our inspection trip was in vain."
"Just wait, you will regret it sooner or later!"
Chen Xiaowen stood up angrily and prepared to pack his luggage.
At this moment, I heard the landline ringing.
"When will you come back?" Zhou Wenyao asked.
"This afternoon's air ticket." Chen Xiaowen said.
Zhou Wenyao heard the displeasure in his tone and said with a smile: "Xiaowen, don't be anxious about Penguin's listing. Things can still turn around."
It's over, it's over!
Chen Xiaowen curled his lips and said, "How can you have a good career if you hang out with n gangs of Hong Kong people?"
"Until the last minute of Penguin's announcement, everything still has a chance. The Boao Forum for Asia is about to be held in April, and the bosses decided to send a higher-level group to lobby."
………
When he received the invitation from the "Boao Forum for Asia", Lu Fei had already stayed in Pengcheng for four days, watching the listing every day, and secretly formulating the plan for "Fetion", occasionally slipping into the logic that was not far away.
lphone is still in the prototype stage, but logX is developing rapidly. After all, the overall direction is solution integration.
On the way back, Lu Fei was sitting in the back driver's seat, with logX design drawings and parameters on his knees. He was holding a chip module in his left hand, but his attention was on the mobile phone in his right hand.
"Hey, Sister Xin, are you going too?"
"Of course, this year's theme is focused on "macro-control." The country wants to take action on industries such as steel, cement, real estate, finance, and coal. Boao is 80% the benchmark."
There was a hint of worry in Xu Xin's tone.
"Just adjust it, I'm not involved in these industries."
Lu Fei looked at the chip carefully and couldn't put it down.
Xu Xin smiled and scolded: "Why aren't you involved? You forgot, you co-invested in a coal coking plant."
Lu Fei groaned and suddenly remembered that he had invested in Liu Qijin's "Dingfeng Coking", accounting for 49% of the shares.
If you invest too much, you will lose it all!
Xu Xin smiled and said: "A Fei, do you have any ability to predict the future?"
"Why do you ask?"
Lu Fei's tone was calm and without any disturbance.
Xu Xindao: "Not to mention your investment operations, how come you just invest in coal chemical industry? Did you predict that the country will
The family association will take action to rectify the small and medium-sized coal mines. The state will advance and the private sector will retreat. The good days of private coal enterprises are coming to an end."
"You have to ask Liu Qijin about this, he has a clear mind."
Lu Fei did not answer, but said with a smile: "Anyway, he did not trust the wrong person. Although the coal industry has entered a severe winter, his coking business is probably going to be booming, and he may be able to buck the trend."
"It's still early, there is still one step left."
"One link missing? Which link?"
"With downstream demand, not only coal has launched a wave of mergers and acquisitions, but steel companies are also constantly acquiring and merging. This is a rare opportunity for growth."
Xu Xin suggested: "Should we get involved too?"
"Steel is by no means a bad business, but Sister Xin, we only have money, no skills, and no experience."
Lu Fei couldn't help but feel excited. He had penetrated into finance, petroleum, aviation, logistics, grain and oil, semiconductors, plus coal and steel. His neck felt vaguely itchy and he wanted to hang a street lamp.
"Money is enough. What companies in the M&A wave lack most is money. They want a snake to swallow an elephant. For example, Shagang, which I am interested in, is trying to swallow up Huaigang."
Xu Xin was ready to make a move.
"Are you sure?"
Lu Fei's mind was completely blank regarding the unknown industry.
"Don't worry, there is precedent. Fosun and Nanjing Iron and Steel jointly established Jinling Steel Alliance."
Xu Xin said very excitedly: "Moreover, the project jointly invested by it and Jianlong Iron and Steel not long ago has been suspended due to violations, and the relevant departments have set up an investigation team to station. This is also an opportunity for us. As expected, Jianlong and Jianlong Iron and Steel
This will lead to the same fate."
At the mention of "Tie Ben", Lu Fei finally had an impression and squinted his eyes, "I remember correctly, the chairman of Fosun is Guo Guangchang, right?"
Xu Xindao: "Yes, he will also participate in the Boao Forum this time."
"Sister Xin, we will discuss this matter in detail in Qionghai."
Lu Fei used his peripheral vision to see that the vehicle had arrived at the entrance of the Penguin Building, and then carefully packed up the logX information, fearing that he would miss any missing documents.
"boss."
Wang Ben got out of the car and opened the door.
As soon as Lu Fei walked out, by coincidence, he saw Liu Chi with a smile on his face, personally leading a group of foreigners away.
The one with the hooked nose in the lead was an old acquaintance——
Goldman Sachs CEO John Waldron.
"land!"
He stretched out his hand and walked straight over.
Lu Fei had no choice but to keep his formulaic fake smile and shook hands.
John Waldron said: "Lu, I very, very much hope that you can hand over the listing to us. Goldman Sachs is fully capable of turning Penguin into the Internet company with the highest market value in China, reaching unprecedented heights."
Lu Fei raised his eyebrows and said, "Is Goldman Sachs willing to accept Penguin as Google?"
John Waldron said: "This still needs discussion to decide. To be honest, I don't really agree. If there are two, there will be three. That will make more and more companies follow suit."
Lu Fei poked his head and said, "John, it's time to change your thinking. The era when capital is king has passed and will give way to the era when talent and entrepreneurship are king."
"Maybe, have you thought about when it will be launched?"
"September, maybe October, any questions?"
"No, not at all. Even if you are well prepared, you can jump in line faster. Who is the penguin?"
"No, let Baidu ring the bell first."
Lu Fei shrugged. There was not much difference between the timelines of his past life and this life. Li Yanhong also planned to go public in 2005.
"Walter! Baidu is going on the market too?!"
John Waldron couldn't help but be surprised, and took the initiative to ask Mr. Lu for a recommendation. After getting to Long, he looked back to Shu, hoping to win another hundred degrees.
Lu Fei felt very unhappy when he saw that he would not let him go unless he agreed, so he reluctantly agreed.
"Thank you, Lu!"
When John Waldron got what he wanted, he smiled brightly, waved his hands, and left quickly.
When he got into the car, his expression immediately changed and became gloomy.
"Such important news, why didn't anyone in the Huaxia District report it! Fuxk, immediately ask them to arrange for someone to contact Baidu. If they can't get it, ask them to hand in a letter of resignation."
"I'll do it right away."
The secretary took out his mobile phone and pressed the number button: "It's really an unexpected surprise. I bumped into Lu at the right time."
"Humph, this is what he should compensate us for. He owes Goldman Sachs two debts, but they are not so easy to repay."
John Waldron snorted coldly, not to mention soybeans, crude oil futures alone, although it took more than 20 million US dollars from China Aviation Oil, Goldman Sachs not only wanted its money, but also its life.
However, Mr. Lu miraculously saved China National Aviation Oil, allowing it to make back its capital last year and earn an additional year and a half of net profit, totaling more than 45 million US dollars.
Widowed Bichi!
"Bosch, they have been notified."
The secretary put down his cell phone and took out the form document from his bag: "This is to follow up on the funds of the Trisolaris Fund as you requested. In addition to investing in the Chinese stock market, there was a recent amount of about 6 million U.S. dollars, which was opening a position in gold futures."
"Gold? Pfft, did I hear that right? Gold?"
John Waldron couldn't help but smile, and the price fluctuation chart directly appeared in his mind. The gold market has been silent for more than 20 years, and the price of gold has dropped from US$456.75 in December last year to US$400.
The secretary said: "Are you asking about setting up snipers at the headquarters?"
"Wait, wait, wait, Lu is not one of those idiots from CAO, he is a very bad person!"
John Waldron narrowed his eyes, "I want more reports on gold futures, the more detailed the better."
