According to reports, this story begins at an entirely unscientific moment: Zhou Ziye, a designer who rose from creating counterfeit mobile phones, suddenly time-traveled back to the year 1984.
...Everyone nodded in agreement.
A few words, and instructions to someone to inquire about the details—it's just acquiring a bankrupt bank, no big deal.
Xing Baohua was quite amazed; these people wielded immense power, beyond imagination, capable of deciding the life or death of a company worth hundreds of millions with just a few words.
They're still lacking. If their fathers were to say something, it would require expert analysis, and often just a few words could trigger fluctuations in the stock market.
While they were chatting, a big-faced man in his thirties walked over with a girl in his arms and greeted the young men with a smile.
When Xing Baohua saw this big face, if he wasn't mistaken, it was none other than Liu, the fan who had been making headlines recently.
People who know him well call him Da Liu.
She seems to have many nicknames, such as stock market sniper or Miss Hong Kong killer.
Her romantic history has sustained most of Hong Kong's gossip media.
Many young masters weren't particularly fond of Liu, the "Fan Liu," saying they were in the same circle and often bumped into each other. However, they weren't really in the same circle either, because some of Liu's affairs were on different paths, so they didn't see eye to eye.
Da Liu just came over to say hello. After all, it was a matter of saving face.
Perhaps Suya's gems dazzled his eyes, causing him to glance at Suya a few more times.
Then he saw Xing Baohua and came over to greet him, saying, "Brother, you don't look like anyone here!"
Xing Baohua extended his hand and said with a smile, "Xing Baohua, Mr. Liu, you're too kind."
"You're too kind, brother. Let's have tea sometime." With that, Da Liu left with his female companion.
Seeing that it was getting late, Xing Baohua prepared to leave. "It's already quite an achievement to have met some of Hong Kong's top celebrities today," she thought.
The group agreed on a time, asking Xing Baohua to first provide a plan, and they would go to Xing Baohua's company in a few days to discuss cooperation.
It would be best if we could swindle several hundred million this time.
If you do it yourself, it will be very slow in terms of time, and you will also have to rely on selling mobile phones and pagers to provide services here.
It's very risky; if the cash flow breaks down, everything will be for nothing.
On the way back, Su Yao told Xing Baohua that the last man looked at her with a sly gaze, which she disliked, and advised Xing Baohua to avoid dealing with him in the future.
Xing Baohua comforted him, saying, "Our dealings are just business dealings. I know what kind of person he is."
The next day, I went to Hainan Company and asked Yu Shenghai to inquire about Henglong in as much detail as possible.
While you're at it, check out the banks or financial institutions in Hong Kong that operate on the fringes.
Xing Baohua notified the manager of Citibank in Hong Kong to come over because he wanted to apply for a loan.
Xing Baohua seems to have a lot of money on hand right now. But actually, it's not that much. He has to build a power plant at home, and also a factory in cooperation with Samsung.
With just these two factories, Xing Baohua was already struggling financially.
Collaborating with the wealthy young men in Hong Kong requires capital operations.
Using other people's money to develop oneself is a basic operation of capital.
When Xing Baohua said he wanted to use one billion US dollars or more, Citibank needed to assess all of Xing Baohua's businesses.
This is not a personal loan, but a commercial loan.
Besides, the loan amount is quite large, and we need to consider its intended use. To mitigate risk, Xing Baohua needs to provide some collateral.
Xing Baohua first raised one billion US dollars. He didn't have any significant assets in Hong Kong, and Hainan Holdings was actually just an asset on the surface. The only asset he had before was the stock he held.
The stock is a secondary market stock, and its value needs to be cut by one-third.
Xing Baohua unleashed his biggest weapon: acquiring a controlling stake in the domestic rice technology laboratory.
The patents they hold alone are worth seven or eight hundred million US dollars. Add to that the sales of Seaner Entertainment tapes, and it's practically a billion dollars.
Finally, Citibank conducted a comprehensive assessment of Xing Baohua's business and rated him as an A+ high-quality client.
The key point is that Xing Baohua has no debts; all of his assets are high-quality assets that are appreciating in value.
A billion dollars takes time, and Citibank also needs to make preparations.
During the loan period, Xing Baohua wrote his feasibility plan, one for the bank and one for the shareholders.
In his report to the shareholders, Xing Baohua will transfer the Haina Investment Department to the new company and establish a venture capital branch.
This company will use its idle funds to invest in businesses or make moves in the financial and real estate markets.
He also wrote in detail what progress the new company would make each year when it took control of the branch offices.
We aim to achieve profitability within five years.
There's also a secret weapon: combining it with mobile payment.
This project is called the Java Era.
To achieve wireless payments, we need to evolve to second-generation electronic devices. We must leave the analog era behind and enter the digital age ahead of time.
Hong Kong is relatively small, so it can serve as a pilot city for digitalization.
The cost is low, and if it's effective, then it can be promoted.
As for going public, Xing Baohua intends to wait three years, so that people can see the outline of the project and attract more investors.
Going public too early isn't necessarily a good thing.
Moreover, Xing Baohua wants to list his company in the United States so that he can really profit from the market.
Listing in the United States has another advantage: business expansion there will at least be smoother.
Three days later, Xing Baohua's side was also ready, and the young masters' team, led by the four young masters, came over.
The seven young masters, along with their respective teams, made it seem like a large group.
Hainan Holdings has always been under scrutiny, and many people recognize these young masters. Some have even informed the media that these young masters are rarely seen.
They're coming in a group now, I don't know which company they're going to, but it feels like they're going to Hainan Holdings.
This is big news.
