After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 749 A Stable and Unified Market

“Mr. Lu, Tianxing’s move will surely make history. There will be no precedent for it before and it will be difficult to find one like it in the future.”

Ota was amazed. He understood the concept of three hundred billion dollars better than most people.

As the saying goes, ignorance is bliss, but knowledge breeds deep fear.

Taking countries as an example, there are 232 countries and regions in the world, but only 40 countries and regions have an annual GDP of over US$300 billion.

In Asia, for example, Vietnam and Bangladesh, the figures are 2,800 and 2,900 respectively.

The Philippines is slightly better, at around 3,200.

It's important to know that the total population of these South Asian countries is approaching or has already exceeded 100 million.

Controlling this wealth would make Lu Liang one of the most powerful people in the world.

Their wealth, comparable to that of a nation, has now become a tangible reality.

"Mr. Ota, you flatter me. Without you all, I alone could not have done it."

Just then, Xu Jiawei walked up to Lu Liang and gave him an OK sign, which Lu Liang understood immediately.

He said, "Mr. Ota, I still have some things to take care of. I'll treat you to drinks next time I go to Tokyo."

"Okay, Mr. Lu, please go ahead with your business."

After ending the call with Ota Rei, Lu Liang glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the screen.

At 6 p.m., four hours had passed since Tianxing Financial issued its ABS.

Xu Jiawei couldn't hide his excitement: "President Lu, should we announce this to the public?"

If this news gets out, many people will probably not be able to sleep tonight.

In just four hours, or 240 minutes, the $2500 billion share was completely sold out.

This means that there is still room for improvement.

This shows that as long as the subscription period is extended, even $5000 billion is a possibility.

Lu Liang laughed and said, "Let's keep a low profile. Just say that subscriptions for the Hong Kong, Tokyo, Seoul and Singapore stations have ended, and the New York station won't start counting until 9 pm."

“Okay, Mr. Lu.” Xu Jiawei looked puzzled; their boss was still as ‘low-key’ as ever.

At 6:15 PM, Tianxing Financial issued an announcement that sent shockwaves through the East Asian market.

"Does 'closing the subscription period' mean the subscription quota has been reached?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, then it should be, right?"

"3000 billion US dollars? More than two trillion RMB? And it only took four hours?"

"To be precise, it's $2500 billion, because as mentioned above, the New York station hasn't opened yet, and the figures haven't been tallied."

"My God, what's wrong with this world? It's one thing for numbers to be longer than my phone number, but now they're almost as long as ID cards."

"ID cards have 18 digits, so it's unlikely that Wan Zhao could have one."

"Is that the point?"

"The key point is that HSBC is going to lose, the key point is that New World Development is going to change hands, and the key point is whether we should still subscribe tomorrow?"

Upon hearing this, Hong Kong stock market investors, who were eager to make their moves, fell silent.

Tianxing has already achieved overwhelming dominance in terms of capital. Will the evenly matched battle for shares on Monday happen again?
If it doesn't happen, what will become of them?

Not only were investors in the Hong Kong stock market silent, but even the major families in Hong Kong fell into a deathly silence.

In the past, although HSBC, the "king" of the Hong Kong market, existed, its strategic reserve funds, as the name suggests, were not easily used.

Tianxing Financial now holds $3000 billion, so Lu Liang can decide where to attack.

Is this market going to be controlled by Lu from now on?

In particular, with Hengtai boarding the Star Ferry ship, it will definitely use New World Development as a shell company to fully enter Hong Kong's real estate market.

As we all know, finance and real estate are the two most important economic pillars of Hong Kong. Now that they have changed hands, the former Lijiagang may become Lujiagang.

“Ah Zheng is right, if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold.” The heads of the Lei, Wu, Li, and Guo families all sighed.

HSBC is on the verge of collapse. If they were to face Tianxing in the future, it would be like a lone boat on the ocean facing an overwhelming storm.

Just when everyone was on edge, Xu Jiayin suddenly sent out invitations to a cocktail party to more than a dozen large and small groups in Hong Kong under the pretext of Hengtai's acquisition of New World.

The event is scheduled for 8 p.m. tonight at the Hong Kong Island Southern District Resort, which belongs to Hengtai Health.

"What does this mean? Are they planning a trap?"

Many people are confused. Tianxing Financial Group has successfully raised $2500 billion. Logically speaking, Hengtai should not need the help of any force.

Could it be that something unexpected happened?
"There shouldn't be any changes. That's where Xu Jiayin or Lu Liang's brilliance lies."

Some people remarked that they had seen through the surface to the essence.

Throughout history, those who wield power have never had a good end. Power can suppress for a time, but it cannot suppress for a lifetime.

Despite having $300 billion in its hands, Tianxing can crush any force with absolute power.

But when they have the power to bully others, they choose to show goodwill. Shouldn't they be grateful?
"Like boiling a frog in lukewarm water, the worst-case scenario still occurred despite the gentle approach."

Zheng Jiachun looked at the red invitation with gold lettering. His family, including Qi Yaonian of HSBC, had also received it.

If Lu Liang continues to maintain his assertive style, they might still have a chance to counterattack.

But now, even the last glimmer of hope has been ruthlessly shattered by this invitation.

Without even thinking, he knew what Lu Liang and Xu Jiayin would say at the party.

It's nothing more than trying to win people's hearts and minds, and calling a deer a horse.

"Shall we go?" Qi Yaonian asked.

"Go be a clown?" Zheng Jiachun asked rhetorically.

Qi Yaonian remained silent. At 7:30 p.m., Lu Liang changed into a suit and arrived at the resort in the South District.

Learning from his previous experience at the Li family's house, he invited a female companion to join him on this trip.

"The clothes are beautiful, but the person is even more beautiful."

Lu Liang smiled as he sized up Xue Jingyang.

She wore a white lace-trimmed off-the-shoulder dress, revealing her long, slender, snow-white neck; her skin was even whiter than the dress itself.

Unlike the deathly pale complexion, her fair and flawless skin had a rosy glow, and a sapphire necklace around her neck made her even more radiant.

"Mr. Lu, you flatter me."

Xue Jingyang's face was flushed, and she gave a silly smile.

When she first received the news, she couldn't believe that she would become Lu Liang's date at the party.

It wasn't until Commander Bai prepared clothes, accessories, a stylist, and a makeup artist for her that she finally realized what was happening.

“Miss Xue, being modest is a good thing, but being overly modest is just hypocrisy.”

Lu Liang smiled and turned to Xu Jiayin: "President Xu, do you think Mr. Zheng and Mr. Qi will be coming tonight?"

“Ah Zheng is quite concerned about his image, so he probably won’t come, but Mr. Qi is another story.” Xu Jiayin smiled, her eyes crinkling.

Tomorrow, New World will issue new shares, starting the prelude to a fierce battle for shares. Giving advance notice to various forces can also reduce some of the capital required.

After all, the money Lu Liang is spending is about to become Hengtai's debt, and Lao Xu sees it all and feels the pain in his heart.

Moreover, one cannot simply bully others in business; even a cornered dog will jump over a wall, let alone people who care about their reputation.

Just like fishing, it requires a balance of relaxation and moderation.

Xu Jiayin was very glad that Lu Liang agreed. He wasn't blinded by the huge sum of money, nor did he think that he could dominate the Hong Kong market on his own.

"Only by disciplining oneself can one achieve self-realization."

Upon hearing Lu Liang's words, a hint of surprise flashed in Xu Jiayin's eyes. This quote came from Wang Yangming's "Instructions for Practical Living".

Only by restraining one's desires and selfishness can one achieve self-fulfillment. Even when feeling triumphant, one must maintain a clear head.

He didn't understand this principle until he was fifty-three years old. But by then, although he understood it, the realities of life no longer allowed him to do so.

"Mr. Xu, we're all watching your performance tonight."

Lu Liang smiled and extended his right arm. Xue Jingyang, who had taken etiquette classes, immediately stepped forward and took his arm.

The two went to a quiet corner to talk about their ideals, their lives, and their romantic encounters.

As eight o'clock approached, the guests entered in an orderly manner. There were more people here tonight than at the Li family's gathering.

With a solemn expression, Lao Xu walked onto the podium.

He faced the crowd and bowed deeply: "Thank you for your support. On behalf of Hengtai Group, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to you all."

Although Hengtai's acquisition of New World Development was unjustified and a breach of trust, history is written by the victors, so it's not too late to add a backstory now.

Xu Jiayin spoke frankly, starting from the time she received help from the Zheng family ten years ago and Hengtai was brought back to life. She said that Hong Kong was of great significance to her, no less than her second hometown.

Overwhelmed with emotion, Old Xu wiped away his tears and choked out, "Over the years, I've watched Hong Kong's real estate market decline day by day. To be honest, I've seen it all and it's been very distressing. This place was so wonderful, it used to be so prosperous..."

Lu Liang stood on the periphery of the crowd, arm in arm with Xue Jingyang, looking at Old Xu on the podium with amazement in his eyes.

To be able to say such shameless things without batting an eye is a skill worth learning.

"Tomorrow, New World will begin subscribing to the privately placed shares. We hope everyone can lend a helping hand to Hengtai."

Old Xu's eyes were red, and he bowed deeply again: "I, Xu Jiayin, am begging you all for my help."

Setting up a stage for a performance cannot be done by one person alone.

Yang Shoucheng immediately clapped his hands in affirmation, saying, "Under the leadership of Hengtai Group, the new world and Hong Kong's real estate industry will surely regain its former glory. I have no doubt about this. The process may be tortuous, but the result will definitely be wonderful."

As the oldest person present, she has been a well-known socialite in Hong Kong since the last century.

Yang Shoucheng's words were somewhat convincing; at least many people showed expressions of empathy.

Whether it's true or false, at least it's been exposed.

Xu Jiayin glanced at everyone, exuding an air of arrogance, before finally fixing his gaze on Lu Liang.

The main character always makes their appearance last.

Lu Liang chuckled and stepped onto the stage, taking over the final act of tonight's grand performance: "I hope everyone can help Hengtai Group. Lu Liang thanks all the seniors here."

His remarks set the tone for tonight and made a promise for the future.

After this battle, Tianxing will not take action unless absolutely necessary.

Not only will they not lend money, but they can also be contacted by any company that needs funding in the future.

In today's increasingly volatile international situation, a stable and highly unified Hong Kong market is even more necessary so that everyone can make money here with peace of mind.

All of Tianxing's actions are for this goal.

"Stable and highly unified?"

These words sent a shiver down everyone's spine.

Those who have something to hide will feel a great calamity is about to befall them.

While we're talking about the Hong Kong market, can we elevate this to a political level? The answer is yes.

They recalled the events that had occurred in Hong Kong this year, and the mainland could no longer stand by and watch.

Lu Liang Tianxing will definitely win!

Because the big boss hasn't made a move yet.
