Cai Zhiliang didn't stay long before saying goodbye and leaving the lounge.

It was indeed a gathering of bigwigs. All the famous bigwigs in Hong Kong were probably invited. It was a pity that Cai Zhiliang recognized them, but they did not recognize him.

"This is Mr. Chen from the Administrative Bureau." Zheng Yiming introduced Cai Zhiliang.

As the time for Hong Kong's return to China draws closer, more and more Chinese people have gradually begun to appear in the middle levels of the Hong Kong government, and Chen Qingbian is one of them.

The Executive Council is said to be administrative, but it is not an administrative organizational entity that enjoys specific administrative powers. It is the senior adviser to the Governor of Hong Kong, so it is also called the Council. Although in name, the Governor must consult with the Executive Council before making any decisions.

Consultation, but if the British are consulted, the opinions of the Executive Council can be ignored. As a result, the Executive Council is more like a think tank of the Hong Kong Governor, but it still has some influence.

Cai Zhiliang stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Chen."

Chen Qingbiao said: "I have heard about Mr. Cai's feat of shorting U.S. stocks before. I didn't expect that he is so young and has a formidable future."

"You won the prize, it's just good luck." Cai Zhiliang said modestly.

Chen Qingbian naturally did not want to praise Cai Zhiliang, but asked: "What does Mr. Cai think of the current financial market?"

Cai Zhiliang did not respond directly, but asked: "Have you heard of the catfish effect?"

The catfish effect is to put a catfish whose main food is fish into a fish tank containing sardines, and the sardines will run away when seeing the catfish, thus preventing the sardines from suffocating in the middle.

Chen Qingbian had naturally heard of it and said: "You mean, does the stock market need a catfish?"

"It's not just one. The Hong Kong market is too big. One catfish is better than nothing." Cai Zhiliang shook his head and continued: "In March, the Hang Seng Index also plummeted 100 points, and there was no improvement until the beginning of May. But then

After Liu Luanxiong made an offer to acquire the Hong Kong Hotel, the stock market instantly became hot, rising for five consecutive months, with the Hang Seng Index rising from 2,600 points to 4,000 points. Therefore, I believe that only through mergers and acquisitions can we restore citizens' confidence in urban development as soon as possible."

Chen Qingbian nodded, not sure if it was to express approval or just to express that he understood, and said: "You continue to talk."

"However, mergers and acquisitions still have three stipulations. Once the merger and acquisition is completed, a period is set, and no sales are allowed within this period, just like the original shares when the company was listed. The current situation is mainly due to the continuous selling of foreign capital, and they share the development of Hong Kong

dividends, but are unwilling to share the difficulties with Hong Kong, so

I suggest that necessary reviews be carried out on foreign capital participating in mergers and acquisitions in the near future. Otherwise, if these foreign capital withdraw after making a profit, the stock market will be even worse. A brief opinion for your reference." Cai Zhiliang's purpose is the last one, to restrict foreign capital and advance in advance

Excluding some opponents is probably something many people would like to see.

Perhaps Cai Zhiliang's start is like setting up a target, and countless people will follow up and continue to lobby to achieve his goal.

"Mr. Cai is too modest. He is obviously very knowledgeable and insightful." Chen Qingbian seemed to agree with Cai Zhiliang's suggestion. As for what he will do in the future, it is unknown.

The two exchanged a few polite words, and Chen Qingbian went to find his next target.

While talking, Cai Zhiliang heard his name again, which came from the host.

"Please enjoy a new song, performed by Ms. He Chaoqiong, composed by Cai Zhiliang, and composed by Li Xiaotian..."

Then came He Chaoqiong's singing: "Mountains and rivers cannot bear too much sorrow, years cannot bear too long a wait, spring flowers love to sway in the wind..."

While admiring it, Zheng Yiming said: "Based on Director Chen's attitude, I think it's quite promising."

Cai Zhiliang said: "The key is that he can't make the decision, so what's the use of having a good attitude."

"Mr. Cai, Yiming..."

When Cai Zhiliang turned around, he saw Yuan Tianfan, the protagonist of today's reception, "Mr. Yuan, long time no see."

Yuan Tianfan used to work for Wanbao International, and Cai Zhiliang had met him several times. Now he was appointed as CEO of the exchange to save the stock market from falling.

"Please support Mr. Cai during this stock market crash." Yuan Tianfan's task today is to promote Hang Seng Index futures, and someone must take over.

"Mr. Yuan said, Jinhe naturally can't stay out of the matter, just 500 tickets." The stock market has been basically stable, and Cai Zhiliang is not worried about losing money.

"Thank you for your support." Yuan Tianfan breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Li Chaoren only purchased 3,000 tickets.

Cai Zhiliang then took advantage of the break to chat with the big guys in the hall to get acquainted with each other and accumulate some connections for the future.

Of course, there are also acquaintances.

Liu Luanxiong smiled and said: "A Liang, in the past week, the news I have heard the most about is you. Even the songs I listen to are composed by you."

"I can't compare to Liu Sheng, the domineering prince of one side." Cai Zhiliang complimented, "I just have better luck."

"Good luck is also a kind of strength. Many people have been lobbied by Martin, so why haven't we seen this kind of luck?" Liu Luanxiong said: "What were you talking about with Chen Qingbian just now?"

Cai Zhiliang explained casually: "He asked me what I thought about the stock market, and I said that mergers and acquisitions can solve the current dilemma of the stock market, but he can't make the decision."

"We do need mergers and acquisitions. I'll reply to him later. The Bureau of Resources still has a lot of high-quality assets. Which company are you planning to acquire?" Liu Luanxiong seemed to think that Cai Zhiliang's contact with Chen Qingbian was nothing more than a fancy.

Government assets.

Cai Zhiliang whispered: "Hang Lung Bank, but now it seems that Dao Heng Bank has also intervened, and I don't know if it will be possible."

"First Pacific Group has just acquired Conian Bank, and is planning Far East Bank. I think the government is supportive of large groups taking over banks. Just focus on Daoheng Bank." Liu Luanxiong said: "If you need help,

Wherever you are, just tell me."

"Then I'll thank you in advance, but Jinhe is not a big financial group." Cai Zhiliang raised his glass and said, "Here's to you."

"Too modest. If you were serious, dropping one billion Hong Kong dollars would be enough to kill Dao Heng Bank." Liu Luanxiong took a sip of wine and said, "If I had known you were interested in the bank, I would have sold you the shares of Bank of East Asia."

, enough for you to obtain a controlling stake."

Cai Zhiliang smiled bitterly and said: "Those were the four major industries in the past, and I don't have that strength."

The Big Four refers to the four major banks in Hong Kong in the 1970s, including HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, Citibank and Bank of East Asia. Of course, Bank of East Asia is far from being comparable to the first three. It can be seen from this point that,

How much influence does the United States and Britain have on Hong Kong's finance?

"I heard that you visited Mr. Keswick of the Jardine Matheson Group some time ago and wanted to acquire 25% of Jardine's land holdings at a price of 16 yuan per share. How did it later turn into the acquisition of the Royal Mansion?"

Since the beginning of the year, Jardine Matheson Group has been reorganized. Jardine Holdings and Jardine Strategies have mutual control. Yihe Holdings holds 19% of Yice, and Yice controls 26% of Jardine. Jardine Holdings and Jardine Strategies each control 11 rights in Land.

Since then, Jardine Matheson's control over Land has been weakened, and it seems that Mr. Keswick intends to sell it at a price.

Liu Luanxiong did not answer, but asked: "Why, are you also interested in purchasing land assets?"

When Cai Zhiliang heard Liu Luanxiong's question, he felt relieved and said: "Landmark holds so many high-quality assets in its hands. Everyone here today can't help but salivate. But now the share price of Landmark has dropped to

6.5 yuan, which is also worth 15 billion Hong Kong dollars. Even if I have the intention, I am powerless. If you are willing to take the lead, Cai is willing to attach the tail fin."

The Land Group owns a large number of high-quality properties, including Exchange Square, Landmark Plaza, Prince's Building, etc. There have been rumors that many Chinese-funded consortiums, such as Cheung Kong Holdings, Universal Group, New World Development Group, Sun Hung Kai Properties, Henderson Land Development, Sino Land, etc.

All are interested in competing for land.

Now we are at a low point, but most of them are strapped for funds. Except for Cheung Kong Holdings, it has been a week since the stock market crash and there has been no movement.

Liu Luanxiong's acquisition of the Royal Building and Harcourt Building required more than 20 billion in funds. After the stock market crash, financing became a problem.
