After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 652 Magic Cube Wants to Take a Share

"Lu, you might need to be careful lately."

At 2 p.m., Lu Liang woke up from a nap, his mind still foggy, when he received a kind reminder from Hilt.

He spoke of a wave of voices rising on Wall Street, which made life very difficult for them because of Lu Liang's arrival.

Some even came up with the idea that since there was no hope of the market defeating Lu Liang in this lifetime, then they would eliminate him from the physical level.

"Thank you for the reminder, I will pay attention."

Lu Liang chuckled and sat on the edge of the bed, clutching the bedding.

As Tianxing has developed to this day, many people wish for his death, but there are also quite a few who wish for him to live to be a hundred years old.

Lu Liang is determined to grant the wishes of those who hope he will live to be a hundred, so he always pays great attention to his own safety.

He paused for a few seconds, as if pondering, revealing the importance he attached to the matter, and then asked, "What's your decision?"

Hilt asked, "What are your conditions?"

At the time, Lu Liang said that he would give him a sum of money to develop his business on his own, without asking where it went, as if it were a free gift.

He firmly believes that there is no such thing as a free lunch, and that the gifts of fate have already come with a hidden price.

Lu Liang suddenly laughed: "Do you know it has meaning now?"

“It’s important to me because it lets me know why I’m doing it,” Hilt replied.

Lu Liang thought for a moment and said, "Let's take today's incident as an example. I hope that one day, if something like this happens again, when you call me, you won't just remind me, but will say: I've already solved it for you."

Money is no longer an issue for him.
He wanted power and influence.

If the domestic route is blocked, then go abroad; if you're not qualified yourself, then support an agent.

A century ago, the country was shattered, giving rise to a comprador class. Can't the roles of offense and defense be reversed now?
Hilt remained silent for a long time before saying, "It's difficult."

"Can't you do it?" Lu Liang asked with a smile.

Hilt hesitated for a moment, then his tone became increasingly firm: "It's difficult, but that doesn't mean it's impossible."

To reach that level, you'd need at least a building next to the bull sculpture on Wall Street.

The center of world finance is Wall Street, and the center of Wall Street is that golden bull.

Surrounding that golden bull are the headquarters of JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Blackstone Group, Vanguard BlackRock, and the New York Stock Exchange. All of the world's top ten investment banks are located here.

It is precisely because it is difficult that it is challenging.

Men are born adventurers; no one wants to live a monotonous life where they can see the end from the beginning.

Even if you accidentally fall off a cliff halfway through the climb, it is still the path you chose, and you will have no regrets even if you die.

"Tell me your plan," Lu Liang said, squinting, because Hilt had already given a definite answer.

"There's a commercial investment bank in Midtown Manhattan called Delime, which was liquidated and delisted last month. It had $1.22 million in liabilities and assets worth about $5500 million. The key thing is that Delime also has a fifteen-story office building on Queen's Road..."

Although Hilt had said he would consider it, he had been subconsciously trying to find out more about these things ever since Lu Liang approached him that day.

After investigation, Delime, a commercial investment bank that originated in rural Philadelphia, came into view.

Despite its small size (less than $200 million), the company is fully functional and its debt relationships are not too complicated.

With an investment of just $1.5 million, the acquisition can be completed in its entirety, ensuring normal operation for the next six months.

"Is $1.5 million enough?" Lu Liang asked.

"That's enough. You need to achieve something first before you'll know you didn't choose the wrong person," Hilt said with a wry smile.

Perhaps Lu Liang has been dealing with massive amounts of money for too long and has forgotten how enormous $1.5 million is.

Taking the vast land of Southeast University as an example, there are 1.89 million registered business entities, of which 6086 million are enterprises.

Leaving aside the $1.5 million in foreign exchange funds, there are definitely no more than 200 companies that can come up with 10 billion yuan in cash flow at once.

"If you're ready, send me an account."

Lu Liang wasn't unaware of how large the sum of money was; he was simply very wealthy and had a high margin for error.

A single investment of $1.5 million won't do.

Then twice.

If it doesn't work twice, then try five times.

If five times doesn't work, try ten.

One success is enough.

"But it is indeed a problem!"

End the call with Hilt.

Lu Liang sat on the edge of the bed, scratching his messy hair.

To kill them physically is indeed very intimidating.

Lu Liang was wondering whether he should take out one billion US dollars.

If he were to have an accident someday, Wilson, Jeffrey, Flannery, Schwarzman, and all those people he knows, we'd put a bounty on their heads.

If he died unexpectedly with resentment in his heart, Lu Liang wouldn't care who the mastermind was.

He would drag any opponent, even a former one, down with him.

"Well, that's it."

The settlement will be next Thursday, and they should be coming then. Lu Liang should give them a proper signal. After all, Dongda is relatively safe; as long as they don't go abroad, they don't need to worry too much about guns and ammunition.

In contrast, in the US, a handgun costs only about $100, yet there are so many illegal immigrants, homeless people, and drug addicts on the streets.

With a little effort and a little money, you can always find a daredevil.

Even if they brought all their equipment, it wouldn't be impossible for them to stage a land-based version of 9/11 on Wall Street.

Around 3 p.m., Lu Liang walked out of the lounge and happened to run into Liang Wenhui, who was returning from outside.

"Brother Lu, just woke up?" Liang Wenhui was all smiles, hopping and skipping as he walked, just like those young men who had just returned from a date in college.

"Did you have fun last night?" Lu Liang asked with a smile.

She is indeed a goddess, and he has had feelings for her before, but he wouldn't specifically seek her out for her.

Just like Zhang Tianai, Yang Mi, Pang Di, and Tian Xi, whom I've been in frequent contact with recently, it's all because of chance.

If you have the chance to meet someone and you like them, go for it.
He didn't force it if there wasn't a chance.

"Tsk tsk, very moist." Liang Wenhui chuckled, revealing his true nature as soon as he opened his mouth.

"As long as you have fun." Lu Liang chuckled.

If Liang Wenhui acted like an innocent young boy, finding it difficult to talk about what happened last night, Lu Liang would worry that he had been deceived by a bad woman.

But the fact that he could say that shows he was just playing around, just trying to fulfill a dream, and he didn't invest any real feelings.

"On my way back, I talked with my business partner about the future cooperation with Tianxing."

On their way to the restaurant, Liang Wenhui suddenly said, "They also agree with your proposal."

When he woke up in the hotel, his phone almost exploded. Magic Square had become internationally renowned because of last night's battle.

Yinghuo-1 has been touted by Western media as being superior to the top AI quantitative model of 'Halley's Comet'.

His business partners and several managers had been calling him since morning.

If Liang Wenhui hadn't turned off his phone before going to the nightclub last night, he probably wouldn't have been able to get a good night's sleep.

On his way there, he returned their calls one by one and also discussed the cooperation proposals offered by Lu Liang.

There were those who agreed and those who disagreed.

Those who agree believe that it's good to have a big tree to shelter under, and Magic Square's sudden fame is also due to Tianxing.

Those who disagree believe they should wait for a better offer, and many organizations have already contacted them hoping to deepen their cooperation.

Opinions varied, but the final decision rested with Liang Wenhui, as he was not only the founder of Magic Square but also the main developer of Firefly No. 1.

He agreed to Lu Liang's cooperation proposal.

"Mr. Lu, I have one more condition."

Liang Wenhui knew that if he agreed to Lu Liang's plan, it would be practically the same as working for him.

However, his ambitions lay elsewhere; quantitative funds were merely a means to make money, not his ultimate goal.

"Tell me about it," Lu Liang asked.

"Huanfang wants to invest in Tianxing Quantitative."

Liang Wenhui was not content with just contributing technology as equity; his and Magic Cube's combined 10% stake was far too small, and he wanted at least 30%.

Lu Liang smiled, not immediately mocking Liang Wenhui for overestimating himself, but instead asked, "What will Huanfang contribute as equity?"

Tianxing Quant (Hong Kong) will focus on quantitative trading in the international market. Lu Liang is also confident that he can attract tens of billions of US dollars for this international quantitative fund.

These are conditions that will be written in black and white in the contract.

If not, it would be a breach of contract by Tianxing, which would require it to pay Huanfang Technology a staggering $100 million in damages.

Liang Wenhui and Huanfang together hold 10% of the shares, which is already considered a special favor from Lu Liang.

What gives him the audacity to demand such an exorbitant amount, wanting to increase his stake to 30%?

“A share swap: exchanging 20% ​​of Huanfang’s equity for 20% of Tianxing Quant’s equity,” Liang Wenhui replied.

Lu Liang smiled and shook his head: "It's still not enough."

Liang Wenhui continued, "Huanfang has completely abandoned quantitative trading and will focus solely on Tianxing's quantitative trading from now on."

The plan proposed by Lu Liang is actually a milder, special version of a protective takeover.

The goal is to make them obsessed with the profits generated by Tianxing Quantitative Analysis, thereby gradually ignoring Huanfang Quantitative Analysis, and thus complete the acquisition of its technology and personnel.

Liang Wenhui understood Lu Liang's intentions and simply did as he wished.

Lu Liang hesitated for a few seconds, then asked, "What are Magic Square's plans for the future?"

Two years from now, the assets of Huanfang Quant will skyrocket from the current 3 billion yuan to 100 billion yuan.

If Magic Square Quant ceases to exist, then asset management with a scale of hundreds of billions will likely become Tianxing Quant.

Therefore, this deal is feasible.

But Lu Liang always felt that this matter was not so simple.

Magic square quantization, after all, is Liang Wenhui's hard work. Is it really going to be given up so easily?

Is international style about gold plating or diamonds?
Does a good night's sleep have such magical effects?
If it were available, Lu Liang would also like to give it a try.
Take a walk along the path that Liang Wenhui once walked.

　Gone.
