Return to 88: Starting from Marrying My Sister-in-law

"Dad, I'm here."

"Don't worry, I definitely won't let you down this time."

Three months later.

This is the first time Li Zekai has set foot on mainland soil since he was humiliated by three mainland scoundrels.

He hung up the phone call he made to his father, Li Ka-shing.

He turned his head and said seriously to the dozen or so men in black suits following closely behind him on either side: "Stay close to me and watch your surroundings. This is the mainland, not our Hong Kong. My safety is in your hands."

After experiencing a kidnapping once, he was truly terrified.

In particular, it was said that the notorious thief who kidnapped him, Brother Qiang, and his gang were currently roaming all over the mainland.

To ensure the safety of this trip.

He specifically hired a security team at a high price to ensure his safety during this trip.

But even so.

He still harbored resentment.

His father's favoritism was far too much. He had no complaints about leaving the family business to his eldest brother, since he wasn't the eldest son of the Li family. But this trip was clearly the one his eldest brother should have taken.

Asian Audiovisual Foundation.

It was my father who insisted on establishing it, seeing the promising future of the VCD industry in the next few years. The money came from the Li family's Cheung Kong Holdings, and I only held a small shareholder position.

But her father said, "What, do you want to drag your older brother down with you, make him take the risks and clean up your mess?"

One sentence left him speechless.

His older brother, however, stood silently by, not uttering a single word to plead with their father on his behalf.

In the end, he had no choice but to come, because he couldn't bear the consequences of disobeying his father.

Take a deep breath.

"Come with me to the headquarters of Sinco Electronics."

The Asian Audiovisual Foundation raised a billion US dollars this time, so much money that it had nowhere to spend it. The only purpose of his trip to the mainland was to spend money, spend money, spend all the money, and then lead his underlings to conquer new territories and regain all the face he lost in this business war.

Of course, the money wasn't wasted. Before he left, his father asked him to ensure that he could maintain dominance in the mainland VCD market within two or three years.

Then, they can take these mainland VCD manufacturers invested in by the Li Changshi Group and list them on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for IPOs. Once the listing is successful, what is a mere 10 billion US dollars? As long as the story is told well and packaged beautifully, coupled with a real market share, a return of more than 10 times can only be considered an underestimation.

Fortunately, his father made a promise to him before he left: as long as he could complete the mission and return, not only would he not have to pay back the 1.5 million ransom, but he would also be exempted from paying it back. In addition to the dividends to the other allies who had been recruited to join the Asia Audio-Visual Fund, the rest of the rewards would be split equally between his PCCW Electronics and the Li family's Cheung Kong Holdings.

This is far too ambitious a promise.

He admitted he was overeating; otherwise, even if it meant defying his father, he would never have come after confirming that the notorious thief who kidnapped him, Brother Qiang, was roaming the Pearl River Delta region of mainland China.

at the same time.

Lu Yang is currently providing support for the third round of financing for his company, Little Prodigy.

I also received news that Li Zekai had passed through the Shekou Customs Port and arrived in Shenzhen.

He frowned. He turned to a middle-aged Chinese man beside him, dressed in a sharp suit and tie, with slicked-back hair, and said, "Mr. Hong, I'm so sorry, but I have something urgent to attend to. I'd like Mr. Xiao to accompany you. You two can talk first, what do you think?"

This middle-aged man, whose hair was sparse but neatly combed and slicked back, was the head of Goldman Sachs' Asia investment team.

Besides discussing the Series C funding round for the child prodigy and hoping that Goldman Sachs Asia would lead the investment, this trip also included...

Mr. Hong also hoped that Lu Yang would agree to let Goldman Sachs Asia handle the IPO plan for the child prodigy in the United States.

In his view, the current booming development of Little Prodigy Company is exactly what he sees as a perfect high-tech unicorn, which perfectly caters to the vision of Wall Street investors. The mysterious East, the mysterious and powerful technology company, as long as it can be packaged perfectly and operated to go public in the United States, it will definitely empty the pockets of those Wall Street investors who have crazy imaginations about innovative technology companies.

What Goldman Sachs Asia is about to earn is likely the biggest investment he has made in his decades-long investment banking career.

So you can't blame him for being too enthusiastic.

Faced with Lu Yang's departure so soon after arriving, she was only slightly taken aback before immediately standing up and personally escorting him to the conference room door: "President Lu, please take your time. There's no rush. I'll chat with President Xiao for a while. Please don't come back too soon. I'd like to ask President Xiao what his thoughts are on Little Prodigy expanding its overseas product reach and introducing it to the North American market."

That idea is pure nonsense. That land in North America may seem open, but it is actually the most exclusive. Chinese companies with best-selling products want to squeeze in and occupy a monopoly position in its market.

First question: Can they afford to pay such exorbitant fines?
Secondly, I have another question: Are you prepared for the company to be split up and relocated as a whole?
If you don't have it, then don't even think about it.

Lu Yang smiled and said, "Sure, I'm quite interested too. See you later, Mr. Hong. I'll come back and ask you for your experience in going global."

As the saying goes, one cannot hit a smiling face. Regardless of whether one is willing to accept the other party's ideas, at least for now, both sides are still in a honeymoon period. Lu Yang is supportive of Goldman Sachs Asia's willingness to help the child prodigy go public in the United States.

Otherwise, Little Prodigy wouldn't have chosen an investment bank with American backing and influence on Wall Street for its Series C funding round.

The mainland stock market is still in its infancy. Whether it's the Shanghai Stock Exchange or the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, their size is still very small and they simply can't absorb his unicorn. If he insists on listing on the Shanghai or Shenzhen Stock Exchange, the money he raises might not even be enough for Lu Yang to use for basic necessities. In that case, it would be better not to list at all.

Only by listing on the US stock market, profiting from foreign companies, and earning US dollars can Lu Yang truly make a living.

As for listing in Hong Kong?

forget it!
With the Li family involved, things won't go smoothly. Even if they do, we still need to be wary of them sabotaging us behind our backs. In that case, we might as well just get rid of this useless piece of meat.

At this stage.

Lu Yang had to inflict a heavy blow on the Li family.

Winning this battle for the VCD market made the Li family realize that the so-called Asian Audio-Visual Fund was nothing but a rabble.

After 97, there might be a chance to delist Little Prodigy from North America, privatize it, and then relist it in Hong Kong. Or we could learn from those internet technology companies and adopt an A+H+N model, listing it in the A-share market, Hong Kong stock market, and US stock market. As long as the story is told well, we can definitely raise more funds.

Lu Yang left the private room.

He whispered, "Has his schedule been confirmed?"

Xu Siqi said with some concern, "It's been confirmed. They were the first to go to Xianke Electronics. Could it be... that this person is here to cause trouble?"

We are currently at a critical juncture in the Series C financing round for Little Prodigy, an important asset under the group.

Moreover, this is the group's first technology company with the best chance of going public.

The other side came on so aggressively...

Lu Yang shook his head: "Don't worry too much. Have someone keep an eye on him and see where he goes next after going to Xianke Electronics. Also, book me a plane ticket..." (End of Chapter)
