Brilliant Years 1991

Chapter 236 Another Hong Kong miracle!
After being unsealed for two months, it is almost as good as new again.

The biggest difference was that Yu Feihong became more proactive and clingy - maybe it had something to do with the alcohol she had been drinking, or maybe it was also because it didn't hurt that much this time. Of course, in Cao Yukun's opinion, the more important thing was that she was stimulated by something.

People say that power is the best medicine, so similarly, fame and fortune is also the best medicine for women - probably, at least based on Cao Yukun's current observations, yes.

Of course, girls are different from each other.

A big difference.

Among the girls Cao Yukun has dated so far, he personally feels that Hu Zihong and Yu Feihong are the most addicted to fame, fortune, pomp, respectability and glory.

Hu Zihong could barely be considered her own spokesperson in Shanghai. Although she managed a real estate company with tens of millions of assets, the decency she pursued when she went out was far beyond the configuration of a CEO of a company with tens of millions of assets. To be honest, it was only 1992, and there were already many private individuals with assets of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, but most of them started from the grassroots and struggled to get to the top. They didn't start to care about or pay attention to the ostentation, so Hu Zihong's configuration of a big Mercedes, a professional driver, and a professional bodyguard was really a bit too ostentatious. But there was no way, she really loved it.

Yu Feihong seems to be the same.

High-end occasions, expensive red wine, sitting with either the CEO of this company or that company, talking and laughing about all kinds of dazzling events and big business...

These things seemed to move her more than giving her large amounts of money, or giving her all kinds of expensive jewelry and brand-name clothes - she had felt it last time, and it was even more obvious this time.

Her eyes were blurred, she was humming, her long legs were tightly wrapped around Cao Yukun's waist, and she kept calling "brother", "brother"...

When it was over, her voice was so high-pitched that it seemed like an arrow piercing the clouds!
To be honest, it’s super cool.

After that, Cao Yukun got up and went to light a cigarette. When he came back, he saw her lying there with her legs spread out, staring blankly at the ceiling, and it seemed that the only thing she could do was gasp for air.

Just stand by the bed and admire it.

But she quickly came to her senses, looked over at him coquettishly, hummed embarrassedly, turned around and hugged the quilt, leaving only her little butt and smooth back to Cao Yukun.

But after finishing a cigarette, Cao Yukun lay down again.

She immediately hummed, "Brother..."

…………

The weather in the capital is indeed much colder than Hongkong.

The next morning, Cao Yukun still followed the old habit he had formed since he traveled through time and got up early to run. He even took out a coat from his bag and put it on. However, once he walked out of the hotel lobby, he instantly began to feel a slight chill - almost in an instant, Cao Yukun suddenly regained many memories that seemed very long ago.

In his previous life, he lived in this city for more than ten years.

It’s almost like a second home.

Of course, in that life, he was in a hurry every day. Even though he had lived here for more than ten years, he had only checked in at a few so-called famous attractions. He actually knew very little about many details of this city.

Alas, the capital, the capital.

After coming back from running and taking a shower, he couldn't help but come again, completely paralyzed Yu Feihong, who had just begun to gather some energy. Only then did Cao Yukun quickly change his clothes and go out to eat.

Leaving her in the hotel room to sleep, Cao Yukun went to Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications with ease, and stayed with Song Yuqian for the whole morning. He even had lunch with her at noon. When she reluctantly went back to school, he turned back, but Yu Feihong was still asleep.

Another farewell shot.

He told her to call the hotel restaurant to deliver whatever she wanted to eat, and that she didn't have to go back home tonight and could just rest here for another night. Then, he went out and headed straight to the airport.

That night, he was already fast asleep in Zhou Aimin's villa halfway up the mountain, holding the pregnant woman in his arms.

The next day, it was Joyoung Electric's shareholders' meeting.

There is no doubt that it went very smoothly, with almost no obstacles encountered - are you kidding? The absolute controlling stake of 74.6% and a series of recent outstanding performances have saved the company that was about to go bankrupt, plus the recent crazy surge in the stock price to over yuan per share, all of this combined makes it seem like everything Cao Yukun says is right!
The board of directors was successfully re-elected.

There are still seven people, but all the creditor representatives were kicked out. The new board of directors is undoubtedly under the absolute control of Cao Yukun - two people in their forties were retained, and two new people in their thirties were added, almost all of whom are engaged in technology and production. Then, Song Yuhua and Zhou Xingbin were also brought into the board of directors.

Song Yuhua didn't even come, but he has transformed himself into the executive director and executive vice president of Joyoung Electric.

After completing this, just one day later, on Wednesday, Joyoung Electric announced its private placement plan to the market.

It's a bit complicated because there are quite a lot of private placement units involved this time.

But there are only two major directions.

First, purely from a capital perspective, a private placement was made to attract certain people to hold strategic shares. Specifically, HSBC, Wing Lung Bank, the Kuo family's Hongyun Group and Jin Zhijian's CITIC Pacific were invited to make strategic investments.

Each company will issue 200 million shares through private placement, and the four companies will issue a total of 800 million shares. At a price of 6.8 yuan, this batch of additional issuances will raise a total of up to 5440 million Hong Kong dollars in cash for Joyoung Electric.

Secondly, acquisition and replacement are specifically divided into two parts.

The first one was to issue 400 million shares to Taiyuan Group, which was controlled by the Xu family, in exchange for its electronics factory, which meant that the electronics factory was overvalued at 2720 million Hong Kong dollars. The second one was a pure merger and acquisition.

In the announcement issued by Joyoung Electric, it was claimed that the company had turned the corner thanks to the strong sales capabilities of a strategic partner company located in the mainland, and considering the company's long-term development and future planning, it planned to issue 1600 million new shares to merge the company into its own. It was also advertised that once the merger was completed, the company would have its well-developed sales network and strong publicity capabilities in the mainland, providing a continuous and long-term broad market for the company's future development - of course, in fact, it was just a shell company of Cao Yukun himself.

Even the sales profits accumulated from the sales of more than 100,000 rice cookers have been divested by Cao Yukun - until now, it is still undoubtedly a shell company!

However, it does have super strong sales power!
There is hardly any doubt about this.

As long as it can pass the review of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, this shell company and the so-called "sales channels" it represents in the Mainland will be packaged and integrated into Joyoung Electric at a price of up to 1600 million Joyoung Electric new shares, which is equivalent to 10880 million Hong Kong dollars. The real market share price may even be higher than this. They have already been contacted in advance and the road has been paved, so there is no big problem.

HSBC, CITIC Pacific, Hongyun Group, Taiyuan Group, Wing Lung Bank, these newly added private placement holdings are all strong endorsements for Joyoung Electric.

What's more, the current Hongkong Securities Regulatory Commission has almost no auditing ability for a mainland sales company - even if it has strong actual sales performance, strong endorsements, and the strong support of a major shareholder who holds more than 70% of the shares, it will probably pass in the end.

If Cao Yukun's plan is implemented in full, Joyoung Electric's total share capital will surge to 6300 million shares. Based on the market price of 7 yuan, the total market value will suddenly reach more than 4.4 million Hong Kong dollars.

Cao Yukun started out by buying HSBC's shares for one Hong Kong dollar, and then invested one million to increase his stake to 74.6%, or about 2611 million shares. He then sold 1600 million shares of his shell company in the mainland at a high price, bringing his total shareholding to 4211 million shares.

The shareholding ratio has decreased, but is still as high as 66.8%!

It is still more than two-thirds.

As for the market value, it is approaching 300 million Hong Kong dollars.

Once this additional issuance plan was released, it quickly aroused heated discussions among the public and strong response from the market.

Firstly, the achievements that Cao Yukun has made in the development of Hong Kong in the past six months have been reported and analyzed by the media through many events. Investors and the market are no strangers to them. Many media and investors even praise him as the so-called "God of Business."

Once the private placement is completed this time, it will be equivalent to bringing a company that was on the verge of bankruptcy two months ago to a market value of more than 400 million!
This is undoubtedly another business miracle!
The people of Hongkong are particularly fascinated by this kind of miracle!

Secondly, Cao Yukun had been in Hong Kong for such a short time, and had taken over Joyoung Electric for even shorter time. When he needed to increase capital and expand shares, he was able to invite five powerful companies, including HSBC, CITIC Pacific, Hongyun Group, Taiyuan Group and Wing Lung Bank, to hold strategic shares. This shows how strong his business connections are, and also shows the trust that these companies have in his personal business and management capabilities.

This is really the best and strongest endorsement possible.

Thirdly, a company which was founded two months ago, just because its founder was Cao Yukun, was able to develop a strong market sales network in the inland area, where the market was considered obscure by the Hongkong people, within a few months. Now it is valued at over 100 million yuan. Companies such as HSBC and CITIC Pacific are willing to endorse the value of this company by holding shares, which shows that its value will indeed be higher. From this, it can be seen that Cao Yukun’s management ability is very strong!
In short, the market immediately gave feedback in the form of stock prices.

The highest surge on the day was over 7%. Although it fell back a little later, in the end, the stock price still stood firmly at a high of 7.5 Hong Kong dollars per share! This shows that shareholders have strong confidence and expectations in this private placement of Joyoung Electric Appliances - they directly welcome it with a higher premium.

Another Hong Kong miracle!
At this point, the so-called "three-timing" incident, which had just happened not long ago, was no longer important. Even in the streets, people's discussions had quickly changed from mixed praise to one-sided praise and envy - Cao Sheng! He is capable! He can do it!

Miss Guo, Miss Li and Miss Zhou followed him to enjoy a good life, there was no humiliation in it!

however……

"Hubby, I saw the photo of Miss Song published in the newspaper. Is she really just your partner in the mainland? Is she really not our fourth wife?"

"Okay, don't worry about who is the Fourth Wife, you are all Mrs. Cao! If you really want to, I will ask her later if she is willing to marry you and be your sister."

"Hahahaha, no, I don't want to! She's so beautiful. If she marries me, I'll definitely fall out of favor!"

"You underestimate yourself! Who are you, the great Cao Tai!"

"Alright, alright, I'll let you go."

…………

He returned to Hong Kong on Sunday night and stayed at Zhou Aimin's place. He attended the shareholders' meeting on Monday and accompanied Fang Lijing in the evening. He went to Yiren Kangyin for signing and meetings on Tuesday morning. He went shopping with Bentley No. 2 Lin Qingwei in the afternoon and had sex in the evening. On Wednesday, the company issued a plan, but Cao Yukun was in his little house hugging Bentley No. 1 Lin Qingkui and having sex. This did not stop him from returning to the mansion in Repulse Bay in the evening to accompany another pregnant old aunt.

On Thursday at noon, she had lunch with HSBC boss Pu Weishi and HSBC Asia President Eldon. In the evening, she went to the home of boss Jin Zhijian for dinner. Guo Chaoqiong, who was promoted to Mrs. Cao, officially accompanied Cao Yukun for the first time in history and met people as Mrs. Cao. She was very happy and behaved properly, gently and generously in front of boss Jin Zhijian and his sister-in-law.

He went to the Securities and Futures Commission on Friday, and then to the Independent Commission Against Corruption. That night, he was still greedy and asked Lin Qingwei out. He was too lazy to give her a house, so he went out to sea on the scheduled boat and spent a leisurely night on the high seas.

The next morning, when the ship docked, Cao Yukun personally sent her back to the downstairs of her rental house, and then he drove back to the airport. Just at noon, the plane had already landed in Shanghai.

That evening, he hosted a banquet for his guests at the Chamber of Commerce in China, which had been mostly renovated and which Cao Yukun named the Magic City Qinyuan himself.

Hu Zihong, her brother and sister-in-law, Lao Tao, Lao Tao's sister-in-law, plus some of Cao Yukun's close friends, Huang Jiapeng, Li Xuegen, Hu Chengqun, plus some of Lao Tao's subordinates, and some key members of Hu Zihong's Modou Qinyuan Real Estate, in short, about 20 to 30 people, ate and drank heartily, and Cao Yukun's big pie was divided among them again.

Nowadays, it is still extremely important for a boss to be able to make promises.

Cao Yukun's words made everyone's blood boil.

However, in fact, they didn't know that their boss was just bragging casually and impromptu - after a few months, he had become accustomed to this and could brag whenever he wanted, without even making any preparations.
