Reborn in America, I'm serious about making money.

The atmosphere has reached this point, so it's time to reveal the answer, otherwise the onlookers will start cursing.

A month later, in the conference room of the Lihua Hotel, twenty-five media outlets were selected and invited to attend the ceremony.

At the equity transaction site, the host walked onto the stage with a smile and delivered the opening remarks in a steady and loud voice.

He began by warmly welcoming all the guests and briefly explained the significance of this equity transaction. He then introduced the basic details of the transaction, including the companies involved, the number of shares, and the transaction method, giving those present a preliminary understanding of the upcoming deal.

The moderator then emphasized the principles of fairness, impartiality, and transparency in the transaction, promising to ensure that the entire process strictly adheres to relevant laws, regulations, and market rules. He also reminded all parties involved to remain calm and rational, fully consider their own interests and risks, and make informed decisions.

Finally, the host wished the equity transaction a complete success, bringing satisfactory results to all parties involved. His words revealed confidence and anticipation for the event, and the atmosphere gradually became more enthusiastic.

After the host finished speaking, he began, "Now, please fill in the price and make your purchase."

At General Manager Yang's instruction, the representative from Lihua Hotel placed the prepared envelope directly on the table, waiting for the hostess to collect it.

Soon, the time came to reveal the answer.

"Now, let's see who the ultimate winner of this secret sale is."

"Congratulations to Lihua Group, $8.1 billion! Congratulations to Lihua Group!"

The host, holding the final document, exclaimed excitedly, and the flashbulbs started going off. Representatives sitting below walked to the front of the stage, and the contract was signed on the spot.

After the price was announced, some people regretted their decision. Yang Hua Tang, in particular, felt very upset. They had set the price at seven billion US dollars, which was not low. They felt that no one would bid that price. However, someone bid eighty-one billion US dollars.

"Damn it, we can afford that $1.1 billion."

The price was written by Zhang San. After the people from Lihua Group arrived at the scene, someone quietly walked up to them and handed them an envelope with a special mark.

He'll accept the price of $8.1 billion if someone offers it more; otherwise, he'll have to decline.

The next day, the price of US$8.1 billion was published in Hong Kong newspapers, and the price immediately sparked widespread discussion in Hong Kong.

The news of Lihua Group's successful acquisition of the equity spread throughout Hong Kong and became headline news in major media outlets.

People have been speculating about the intentions and implications behind this huge deal.

Some believe that Lihua Group's move is aimed at further expanding its business scope and enhancing its market competitiveness; others worry that it may cause significant changes in the industry landscape.

While causing a sensation in the industry, this transaction also significantly enhanced the reputation of Lihua Group.

The acquisition by Lihua Group was successfully completed, and a rights issue was immediately launched to raise funds. According to the previous plan, five new shares will be issued for every ten existing shares, with 95% of the recent share price as the basis for financing.

This money will be used to acquire Stephen's Supermarket. Lihua Group's rights issue fundraising plan attracted considerable attention from investors, and the market response was enthusiastic. The influx of funds has strengthened Lihua Group's financial position, laying a solid foundation for its future development.

After acquiring Stephens Supermarket, Lihua Group quickly integrated resources and carried out a series of reforms and upgrades to the supermarket.

In the stock trading hall, investors were enthusiastically discussing the news of Lihua Group's acquisition of Stephen's Supermarket.

"I told you long ago that Lihua Group had potential, and look at them now, they've successfully acquired Stephens Supermarket!" one shareholder exclaimed excitedly.

"This will definitely have a positive impact on Lihua Group's stock price. I need to buy some right away," another shareholder said anxiously.

"But we also need to be aware of the risks. Post-acquisition integration and operation are also crucial," a more cautious investor cautioned.

"I think this acquisition is an important strategic move by Lihua Group, and their market share will further expand," another shareholder analyzed.

"However, we still need to closely monitor Lihua Group's subsequent actions to see how they integrate resources and improve performance," said an experienced shareholder.

Shareholders expressed that they will continue to pay attention to the development of Lihua Group and hope that this acquisition will bring them more investment opportunities.

Inside a stock exchange, investors gathered, discussing the shares of Lihua Group. Their expressions were serious and worried.

"I don't think the trend of Lihua Group looks good," a middle-aged stock investor said first, attracting the attention of others.

"Yes, the recent financial reports of Lihua Group are not very good either, and its market share seems to be gradually declining," another young shareholder chimed in.

"I think we should get rid of it as soon as possible to avoid even greater losses," an elderly stock investor interjected. "This stock doesn't seem to have much of a future."

"But selling now would be a huge loss," someone disagreed. "Maybe if we wait a bit longer, things might turn around?"

"I think the management of Lihua Group should come out and explain, and give us shareholders an explanation," another person said.

"Could they be holding back some inside information? This is really worrying." The murmurs grew louder and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

However, some investors remained calm.

"The stock market is inherently risky, and we can't just look at the short-term ups and downs," said an experienced stock investor. "We still need to comprehensively analyze the company's fundamentals and the industry's prospects."

"That's right, we can't blindly follow the trend and be bearish." Another person nodded in agreement, "But we also need to manage the risks and not put all our eggs in one basket."

The conversation among investors was filled with concerns and doubts about Lihua Group's stock, as they expressed their various opinions. In this uncertain stock market, everyone is striving to find their own investment direction.

The previous plan had already been approved, so it couldn't be stopped. Lihua Group immediately announced a rights issue to raise funds for the acquisition of Stephens Supermarket, and at the same time announced that it had paid a deposit of HK$4 billion.

Once the plan is launched, it will not stop unless more than half of the people who abandon their purchases do so.
