After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 733 Liu Cixin has surrendered.
The Hong Kong stock market opened for business at 9:30 a.m.

Faced with absolute financial power, all rumors are as fragile as paper, easily shattered.

A large influx of funds caused the stock price to surge, sweeping across all four order books with only buy orders and no sell orders.

Soon, following in the footsteps of New World Development, Sun Hung Kai Properties and Henderson Land Development successively broke through the 100 billion market value mark, while Chinese Estates Holdings also broke through the 70 billion mark.

In just half an hour, the total trading volume of the four stocks exceeded HK$2500 billion, accounting for 22% of the total trading volume of the Hong Kong stock market that day.

Four branches stand out, the most outstanding among the outstanding.

However, for both Lu Liang and Dadi Hui, the cost of acquiring stocks is increasing exponentially.

The outflow of funds was like a burst dam, so fast that even seasoned market investors were alarmed.

They had previously thought this would be a protracted and arduous battle.

Although Lu Liang is powerful and has abundant funds, he is fighting against four opponents at once, and is also fighting on someone else's home turf, so he is at a disadvantage of ten or twenty points from the start.

They want to catch up and surpass.

It not only requires a lot of capital and shareholder support, but also the slow and steady progress it requires.

In retrospect, they underestimated Lu Liang's determination.

If trading volume continues to climb at this rate, the market will soon be completely wiped out.

This crucial battle will come to an end, ushering in the second phase of the forced acquisition, a chaotic free-for-all within the group.

"A madman, absolutely a madman."

"How can you play like this? You're not treating money like money at all!"

Liu, far away in Switzerland, had a gloomy face and couldn't help but curse loudly.

In his view, the HK$40 billion Chinese Estates Holdings was already ridiculously inflated, let alone now that it was about to double.

Where did Lu Liang get the confidence to think that investing so much money in acquisitions now would allow him to recoup his principal later?

"Don't forget Lu Liang's purpose in choosing Hong Kong."

Zheng Jiachun's cold voice rang out on the screen, maliciously inflating the stock price. It seemed like they were killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of their own, but in reality, Lu Liang was taking much less risk than they were.

Just like the total market capitalization of the six major US stock exchanges, which is as high as 82 trillion RMB, almost equivalent to the entire A-share market.

The market capitalization of those companies is also inflated, but as long as there are no unforeseen circumstances and the holding consortiums do not engage in large-scale selling, the bubble will never burst.

Lu Liang was just following their example. Anyway, he would definitely set up an investment bank in the future, and the equity shares he held would be the foundation of the investment bank.

An investment bank that only engages in financial investments, like Ant Group, has no foundation and may disappear at any time.

However, all four of them are real estate groups, and they control a large number of developed properties and undeveloped land.

Tangible fixed assets always give future savings users a strong sense of security.

Therefore, Lu Liang has no need to worry about losing money.

How much capital do you have left?

Da Liu suddenly asked, vaguely sensing that he was about to be abandoned.

Moreover, he is abroad and it is very difficult for him to raise funds; he is about to collapse.

Guo and Li glanced at Zheng Jiachun off-camera. Before Zheng Jiachun could speak, Liu said, "Don't hide it from me, I know what you're thinking."

"I've been plagued by illness these past few years, and my energy is not what it used to be. I was just thinking, maybe I should just give up like this."

As Liu continued talking to himself, he had already given up resisting and planned to contact Lu Liang to discuss the acquisition of Chinese Estates Holdings.

Although it was a probing tactic of retreating to advance, he was genuinely regretful. He had already left Hong Kong and shouldn't have interfered in the first place.

If we hadn't interfered, there wouldn't have been so much trouble.

Guo Li remained silent, and Zheng Jiachun quickly spoke up: "Da Liu, let's hold on a little longer. I'm contacting Mr. Luo of HSBC. They won't stand by and watch us die."

"If the lips are cold, the teeth will perish. It's probably not HSBC that will suffer, but you, Ah Zheng." Liu mocked, realizing that Zheng Jiachun still wanted to trick him into being cannon fodder to drain Lu Liang's funds. But he wasn't a fool who could be easily fooled.

Busy all your life

It's time to stop and take good care of yourself.

Liu said in a deep voice, "Let's just leave it at that."

Having said that, he was too lazy to listen to any more of those insincere and pointless words, and simply chose to disconnect.

His wife, 29 years his junior, came to stand beside him.

She looked reluctant: "Are we just going to let it go like this?"

"What else can we do?" Da Liu sighed helplessly. Since he fell ill, his energy had been greatly reduced.

Over the years, he has stayed at his post, sustained only by sheer willpower. He believes he is still young and can still give it his all.

However, after being forced to retreat by Lu Liang and fleeing to Hong Kong, and then being ruthlessly crushed by the flood of funds, that fighting spirit had long since dissipated.

After thinking about it, I decided to forget it.

At 67, she is indeed not young anymore.

His life was full of dramatic events.
So it wasn't a wasted trip.

After a moment's hesitation, the young wife tentatively asked, "What about those shares? Should I go back and deal with them?"

Da Liu raised his eyes, his tone growing colder: "Leave it to Awei. I'm the one who wronged him."

People forget you when you're gone; the least trustworthy people are women, even those who have been by his side for over twenty years.

Although he didn't want to admit it and wanted to say it was because of love, he knew that if this woman hadn't had a very clear purpose, she wouldn't have stayed by his side for so long.

The wife retorted angrily, "You two have been estranged for life, yet you still care about your son with your ex-wife?"

She defeated so many competitors to become the Liu family's legal wife, but now the family fortune is still left to his son.
"Who is it that we've become estranged?" Lau asked coldly, his tone suddenly softening: "I will leave all those overseas funds to the Xiu Rong sisters."

……

"Ah Zheng, why don't we take a break and go see Lu Liang at noon? There's nothing we can't sit down and have a proper talk about."

When the screen went black, I called Da Liu, but all I heard was the message that the phone was off.

Guo and Li exchanged a glance, a different thought forming in their minds.

As Liu Cixin concluded, only the Zheng family truly felt the pinch; they had no irreconcilable grudge against Lu Liang. I heard from the younger generation that they had a very pleasant conversation with Lu Liang at Friday's gathering, and they even planned to collaborate in the future…

It's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester...

Sacrifice one family for the happiness of everyone...

Lu Liang's debut was his peak...

Having dominated the international arena for many years, never having suffered a defeat...

Even powerful financial groups like the Quantum Fund, JPMorgan Chase, and Blackstone Group couldn't do anything about him...

It's not shameful for them to surrender and admit defeat...

Gradually, they convinced themselves.

"Do you think Lu Liang will let you go?" Zheng Jiachun's face was gloomy, and he had already cursed Liu a hundred times in his heart.

He deserved to have kidney failure.
Before leaving, you even tricked him. Couldn't you have just left quietly? Why did you have to make it so explicit?

He's caught between agreeing and disagreeing.

We need to have a talk eventually.

Guo Bingsheng and Li Jiajie exchanged a glance, their minds made up. They looked at Yang Shoucheng and said, "Uncle Yang, let Qi Sheng help us contact President Lu again. We'll visit him in person."

"Don't blame me for not warning you, surrendering sometimes doesn't bring peace, it only hastens destruction."

Zheng Jiachun was furious and enraged, but no one was listening to him anymore.

"Ah Zheng, don't be so absolute. President Lu is just a businessman." Yang Shoucheng walked over with a smile.

Joining Lu Liang's side early was definitely the best decision he had ever made in his life.

Because he didn't have to wait until later; in just these few days, he could feel that the Yang family's status was rising rapidly.

Uncle Yang used to be polite.

Uncle Yang is respected now.

This is a change brought about by different status.

Meanwhile, on the 82nd floor of Phase 2 of the Plaza Building.

"Chinese Estates Holdings has triggered the second disclosure threshold, with its shareholding reaching 10.12%."

Wen Chao's voice came through the headset.

Lu Liang was immediately surprised: "How could it be so fast?"

Yesterday, they had the advantage of timing and location, and it still took them more than three hours to trigger the 5% threshold for disclosure.

Today, the market has been open for more than an hour. Without favorable timing, location, or popular support, how come so many shares suddenly appeared?
“All the chips were thrown out from the same account.” Sun Yutao immediately investigated the source of the chips.

"Is it a shareholder defection, or Liu giving up?"

Lu Liang raised an eyebrow, walked out of his office, and called Xu Jiawei, who was standing at the door, to ask, "Did anyone contact me just now?"

Xu Jiawei was surprised and quickly nodded: "Yes, Liu Mingwei, the son of Da Liu, called you five minutes ago."

"What did you say?" Lu Liang asked.

Xu Jiawei said, "He said his father will not be coming back. The Liu family holds shares in Chinese Estates Holdings and will hand them over to him to handle from now on. He wants to talk to you about it."

"It seems they've given up."

With a smile, Lu Liang informed Sun Wenliang and the other two that they could temporarily halt the acquisition of Chinese Estates Holdings.

Xu Jiawei added, "Also, Mr. Yang from Emperor Group just contacted you. Guo Bingsheng and Li Jiajie want to meet with you."

"Let them come."

Lu Liang squinted at Li Junwei and said, "Spread these two messages around noon."

He looked towards Guangzhou, where it was Old Xu's turn to perform. He hoped Old Xu wouldn't mess things up.

……

The market is like a calm lake, and investors are like fish in the water.

If you concentrate and have keen observation skills, you can clearly capture any movement of the water or plants on the lake surface.

As the clock struck 11 a.m., the four stocks that had seen an average increase of 49% today gradually ceased their frenzy.

This abrupt halt also made some people feel uneasy, because in a buying frenzy, there is no such thing as a break.

You may rest, but your opponent will not.

This situation indicates a change in circumstances, most likely because some kind of agreement has already been reached privately.

Half an hour later, Chinese Estates Holdings Limited announced that Star Investment Holdings Limited held 10.12% of the shares, triggering the second disclosure threshold.

The news caused an uproar in the market.

"Including Hengtai's 10.25%, Lu Liang's shareholding has reached 20.37%, making him the largest shareholder of Chinese Estates Holdings?"

"Run! The stock price is about to crash!"

Retail investors who have been in the stock market for many years know that even though Lu Liang's shareholding has not yet reached a relative controlling stake of 33.4%.

However, once you become a major shareholder of a company, you will directly enter the second stage of the acquisition: a power struggle within the group.

They are not eligible to participate at this stage.

The key lies with the acquiring party and the acquired party in persuading other shareholders to provide support.

The small, scattered chips in the market have been mostly acquired, while the large chips are all in the hands of the group's shareholders.

This also indicates that the bidding war for shares has ended.

The stock price will likely see a significant correction next. If you don't sell at this point, even in the best market conditions, you could end up stuck halfway down the mountain.

Regardless of whether the negotiations between the two parties go smoothly or not, the suspension of stock trading is an inevitable choice due to the involvement of a major event.

Once an acquisition is involved, it can happen in a month or two if things go smoothly, but it can often take a year or two if things go slowly.
