After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 674 A villain's revenge lasts from morning till night
"Mr. Lu, I wish us a pleasant cooperation in advance."

Schwarzman smiled. Wall Street is just a place name; they are not a monolithic entity.

Ten years have passed since the last grand feast, and now the University of Tokyo is resorting to its closed-door policy in the financial market again.

Since we can't kill pigs and cows, we can slaughter a few chickens and ducks to have a feast, and this is a good opportunity to eliminate dissidents.

As for raising a tiger to cause trouble, with them around, and on their home turf, Lu Liang had better behave himself, or else he'll be taught a lesson.

After a moment's thought, Schwarzman said, "Mr. Lu, then we want a subscription share of 50 billion US dollars."

Although he looked down on Lu Liang's plans, he never doubted his ability to make money.

The company that helped them build the quantitative model said that Magic Square technology might be superior, but it's not mature enough yet.

Tianxing has partnered with Huanfang to establish Tianxing Quantitative, focusing on quantitative trading in the international market. This project has great potential.

Lu Liang pretended to be hesitant and thought for a long time before answering, "Mr. Schwarzman, the maximum is 40 billion. I have already given 30 billion to the Hong Kong investors."

"Although Tianxing Quantitative's headquarters are not in mainland China, Hong Kong is still an inseparable part of mainland China. Some mainland institutions still need to give up some of their share and ask them to help with things."

Schwarzman nodded, making a concession.

After all, Blackstone and Lu Liang were just starting their honeymoon period, and Blackstone still needed to take care of his feelings.

However, he wouldn't indulge Lu Liang time and time again like Wilson did.

This is the first time, and it will be the last.

"Wish us happy cooperation."

"Pleasant to work with."

Half an hour later, the two finished their conversation, and Lu Liang stood at the office door, watching Su Shimin leave.

Only after he disappeared from sight did Sun Yutao walk over and ask, "President Lu, how do you plan to allocate the funds this time?"

"Li Zhe-kai has 30 billion, Blackstone has 40 billion, and the remaining 30 billion will be prioritized for adoption by GSR Ventures and JD.com."

Lu Liang paused for a few seconds, then said, "If there are any left, I'll take another look and pick a few more."

He was about to return to his office when Xiao Wang suddenly appeared out of nowhere, beaming, "Brother Liang, it's been a long time!"

"Close the door." Lu Liang invited him to go to the office together, where they sat down at the coffee table and brewed a new cup of tea.

Looking at Xiao Wang, Lu Liang suddenly laughed out loud: "It really has been a long time. How come you've gone bald?"

Xiao Wang is three years younger than him, just turned 30 this year, but his forehead can no longer be described as full.

With her hairline receding so much, she probably wouldn't even need to shave her head if she were to act in a Qing Dynasty drama.

"Damn it, you can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth. My forehead is just full and round, okay?"

Xiao Wang's face darkened. This was a question that always killed whoever asked it, but since it was Lu Liang who asked, he could only curse and grumble.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Lu Liang glanced at the date subconsciously; there were still more than three months left before he could cash out his Panda stock.

He currently holds 1.58 million shares of Panda, accounting for 8.235% of the total share capital. If he wants to cash out, there must be a huge positive development; otherwise, it will definitely affect the share price.

On September 28th, the Panda-sponsored team won the championship. That day should be the best time to cash out, even if it's the second highest point in history after the initial listing, for the next few years.

However, it's July 13th now, and there are still more than three months until the championship. On the other hand, the World Cup final next door seems to be starting soon, with France defeating Croatia 4-2.

"Food is tasteless, but it is a pity to discard it."

Lu Liang smacked his lips. If he wanted to place a bet, he could definitely beat several bookmakers.

But Sister He and he have a good relationship. It seems a bit unfair to place bets in Macau. They should go and mess with those Western gambling companies instead.

After all, capital in Europe and America is interconnected, and those well-known gambling giants are basically backed by Blackstone, BlackRock, and Vanguard.

Taking this opportunity to collect some interest from them seems like a good idea, since Su Shimin's attitude has made Lu Liang very unhappy.

As the saying goes, a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years, while a petty person takes revenge from morning till night. He is a petty person, and he takes revenge without delay.

"Lu Liang, what are you muttering about? Are you even listening to me?" Xiao Wang asked with a dark expression.

"What did you say?" Lu Liang snapped out of his reverie and said with a smile, "I was thinking about something. Just say it again."

Xiao Wang took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and repeated himself: "I said, I have more than 300 million US dollars in my hands, is it possible to do some insider trading?"

"Well, let me think about it..."

Lu Liang pondered for a moment, then took out the private equity fund share subscription intention form that Sun Yutao had selected, seemingly knowing that he was purely aiming for the international market this time.

Domestic capital institutions have subscribed for far more than ever before, with JD.com investing 500 million, GSR Ventures investing 500 million, and Fuxing Group investing 500 million.

Of the $3 billion share, the three companies accounted for $15 billion, Tencent $300 million, and BOC and CITIC a total of $500 million.

Although there is still a 700 million share left, GM's Flannery has come all this way, so we can't let him leave empty-handed.

The final 700 million will most likely be left to him.

"There's nothing I can do, I can't squeeze any out, there's none for you."

Lu Liang shook his head, decisively rejecting Xiao Wang.

Xiao Wang wasn't angry. Instead, he asked, "What about your Tianxing Private Equity Fund? When will you start the fifth phase?" "We won't consider it before February next year, before the settlement of the third phase," Lu Liang said.

He doesn't lack funds for development now, and the annual dividend is a bit of a hassle, and there's no way to maximize the management fees.

Tianxing Quantitative's settlement cycle is set at five years, guaranteeing dividends every two years. The fifth phase of private equity is estimated to be similar.

Therefore, Lu Liang wanted to wait until the settlement of the third round of private equity funds, then clear all the private equity business, start fundraising again, and extend the settlement period further.

He might not necessarily stay in Shanghai; he'll let Tianxing Quantitative test the waters first and see how things go in Hong Kong.

If the policies are favorable, all of Lu Liang's financial businesses, except for public funds, may be relocated to Hong Kong.

After all, he only deals with the international market now, and it's inconvenient for him to stay in Shanghai, especially when it comes to currency exchange settlements.

Even though they are dual-currency funds, with so much money paid every year, the help they receive from Shanghai is almost zero.

Why not move everything to Hong Kong? After all, Lu Liang already has the Tianxing Industrial Park, and so much money has been invested there, so the authorities won't worry about him transferring assets.

Xiao Wang was stunned: "What about my 300 million?"

Before coming here, he thought that even if he didn't get a share in quantitative trading, he would still get a share in Tianxing Phase V Private Equity.

If he ends up getting nothing from either side, then all the more than 300 million US dollars he painstakingly prepared will have been for nothing.

Lu Liang chuckled, but before he could finish speaking, he suddenly asked with a smile, "Cong, do you usually watch football?"

"Those who get involved in football are all idiots, and those who play football are all morons." Xiao Wang bluntly stated, clearly making a veiled insult about his father.

Given how bad Dongda football is, for Old Wang to still have expectations for it is, in his opinion, a completely idiotic act, even if it's his own father.

Lu Liang couldn't help but chuckle: "I received word that France is guaranteed to win the final the day after tomorrow. So, what do you say, are we going to do it or not?"

If it's just a small bet of ten or twenty million, it's better not to bet at all, but betting too much makes the intention too obvious.

If Xiao Wang were to step in, everything would make sense, since his public image is that of a landlord's foolish son.

"A sure win? Is it really that sure?"

Xiao Wang looked suspicious; he already knew that football was rife with corruption.

But the World Cup final is watched by at least 20 billion people around the world. Success and fame are within reach, and the World Cup trophy is just around the corner.

If this situation were to involve behind-the-scenes manipulation, and this got out, both teams' players would be torn to shreds by those crazy fans.

"You don't understand the power of capital."

Lu Liang looked mysterious, and Xiao Wang was also skeptical: "So what do you plan to have me do?"

"I'll be meeting with General Motors Flannery tomorrow, and I'll be going to America with him. You'll come with me."

Lu Liang smiled and made meticulous arrangements: "The flight will last for thirteen hours, which will be very boring. We'll work together and then stop here. The rest depends on your performance."

"So how big are you planning to go?"

Xiao Wang's eyelids twitched; he was afraid whenever Lu Liang started playing chess.

Because now this appetite is getting bigger and bigger.

If it were only tens of millions or a hundred or two hundred million dollars, he probably wouldn't even give it a second glance.

"The fourth round of private equity just settled, and Tianxing has an extra billion dollars in its account. Let me make it a billion dollars for you."

Lu Liang spoke casually, but Xiao Wang's heart skipped a beat. He said with a wry smile, "You're making me play the fool again."

Spending a billion dollars betting on football,
Only a fool would do that.

Once the news spreads, he will never be able to shake off the title of "the landlord's foolish son" for the rest of his life.

"One word: are you in or not?" Lu Liang asked with a smile.

"Do it!"

Xiao Wang gritted his teeth and made a firm decision.

With a 40% return, what's wrong with being a fool?
Moreover, judging from Lu Liang's attitude, betting on football doesn't seem to be just for making money; it seems more like it's for scheming against people.

I absolutely have to help with this.

"Hey bro, I'll introduce you to a great project when I get back."

"What project?" Xiao Wang's eyes lit up.

He has entrusted the panda to Long Fei, and now he basically has nothing to do except chase girls.

Lu Liang's assessment that he was bald wasn't without merit.

After all, with all that bright lights and revelry every day, it's hard not to go bald.

"We'll talk about it when we get back. It's not entirely certain yet. Lao Meng is still considering it," Lu Liang said.

"Meng Changkun?" Xiao Wang asked.

Lu Liang nodded. If Meng Changkun was willing to do it, he planned to have Old Meng reserve a copy for Xiao Wang.

At that time, we'll scale up to one or two hundred billion US dollars, then go public in the US and make a killing.
