Today, Cai Zhiliang made an appointment with Albert Byrne, President of Citibank (Hong Kong City).

"Mr. Byrne, I am very grateful for this layout of the stock market." Cai Zhiliang expressed his gratitude as soon as they met. If Albert Byrne hadn't been the mediator, funds would have been a big problem. He said: "I have wanted to visit you personally for a long time, but it's just that

I heard that you went back to New York to report on your work some time ago."

"You're welcome, this cooperation is beneficial to both parties." Albert Bourne was also a little proud, after all, it brought tens of millions in handling fees to the bank, and said, "I just came back the day before yesterday, and I met John in New York this time.

, I admire your vision."

"It's all Martin's credit." Cai Zhiliang said, "I'm here today to discuss cooperation. Tianmen Real Estate is preparing to expand its shares."

"Martin is applying to establish a foundation, and I'm afraid he won't come to Hong Kong in the short term." Albert said with some regrets: "I have heard about the share expansion, and I hope that Kingsoft and Citigroup will continue to maintain a good cooperative relationship.

."

After exchanging pleasantries with Albert Bourne, Cai Zhiliang said goodbye and left. In addition to visiting Albert Bourne today, he was also preparing to meet with Liang Botao.

Cai Zhiliang is preparing to expand his shares, and the trick is not new, which is the serial rights issue that Chinese Land has been using. How much Cai Zhiliang hated this method of rights issue at the beginning, he now likes it.

Due to previous pleasant cooperation with Citibank, Cai Zhiliang chose Citibank as the underwriter of the stock this time.

Wan Guo Tong Bao International is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Citibank. Liang Botao had previously served as the vice president of Wan Guo Bao Tong International, and the president was William Du. With the advent of the stock market crash, Wan Guo Bao Tong International ceased operations, and Liang Botao was still the CEO of Citibank.

High level.

"Congratulations to Jinhe for winning another victory and winning the Hang Lung Bank." Liang Botao was the first to congratulate.

"Thank you." Cai Zhiliang said: "I heard that Citibank intends to sell Far East Bank. Is this a foregone conclusion?"

"Why, a Hang Lung Bank can't satisfy your appetite?" Liang Botao joked.

Cai Zhiliang smiled and said: "The more, the merrier, who would dislike having more assets?"

Liang Botao shook his head and said: "You are late, Far East Bank has been sold to First Pacific Group."

"Look, I'm not the only one with a big appetite." Cai Zhiliang sighed and said, "Has Taiping Group raised funds?"

A few days ago, there were rumors in the market that Taiping Group may default.

"Your news is too late. This small amount of funds can still stump the Taiping Group." Liang Botao said regretfully: "If it was still possible in early October, it is a foregone conclusion now."

Cai Zhiliang asked casually and sighed: "At the beginning of October, I didn't have that much money."

"Isn't 60 million shares a bit too much for Tianmen Real Estate's rights issue?" After a few pleasantries, Liang Botao got down to business.

Tianmen Real Estate currently has a total market value of less than 500 million, with a total of 200 million shares.

Cai Zhiliang said: "Not much. Tianmen Real Estate wants to develop but lacks funds and there is nothing we can do."

Liang Botao said: "This rights issue occupies a quarter of the original share capital, and your equity will be diluted, leaving only 40%. Moreover, now is not a good time."

"I am worried that no one will disturb the situation, but now that house prices are falling, even if you have funds, it is better to speculate on Hong Kong real estate." Cai Zhiliang explained, "At the latest, after the new year, the stock market should recover some strength."

"Are you planning to buy Land?" After hearing Cai Zhiliang's teasing, Liang Botao's focus was on Land, saying: "I'm really curious about shorting U.S. stocks this time. How much did you make?"

"I just want to take advantage of the big guys to eat meat and drink some soup. With my little strength, how can I get the chance to eat meat?" Cai Zhiliang remained silent about how much he earned.

Liang Botao asked: "What kind of inside story do you have? Which big boss are you talking about?"

"You are asking blind questions." Cai Zhiliang pointed at Liang Botao and said, "As the vice president of Wanguo Baotong International, you have raised tens of billions of funds for Li Chaoren. It is you who should tell me the inside information."

Liang Botao smiled and said: "Mr. Li intends to acquire Land from Jardine Matheson. Before the stock market crash, he was willing to purchase 25% of the shares held by Jardine Matheson at a price of 17 yuan per share. However, Mr. Keswick is not satisfied. Now, I will

Not sure anymore.”

In the past, there were rumors, but now it has been confirmed that Li Chaoren did intend to acquire Land. However, this is not surprising. After all, in the early 1980s, Cheung Kong Holdings purchased Land once, but it was unsuccessful.

Cai Zhiliang said: "If we wait for another six months, the stock price may return to its original state. It is better to take action now and have greater certainty."

According to the Takeover and Merger Regulations, the purchase price raised by the acquirer cannot be lower than the value of the acquirer's purchase of the acquired company's shares within 6 months. It is estimated that Li Chaoren purchased Land shares before the stock market crash.

The previous price was not worth it.

"This is not something I should worry about." Liang Botao did not continue the conversation. However, Cai Zhiliang felt that he could contact Jardine's chief executive, Mr. Keswick, in case of success.

After talking about business, Cai Zhiliang left.

In a blink of an eye, it was the weekend, and Cai Zhiliang took Zhao Baoxiu out to look at a house. It was said to be a house, but in fact it was a foundation, which was newly added by Cai Zhiliang. It mainly had a wide view, facing the sea, and backed by green mountains.

"Mom, how do you feel? Facing the sea, spring flowers are blooming." The person who asked the question was naturally Cai Zhiliang.

"Brother, your vision is as good as ever, so I won't comment further."

Cai Meihui and Cai Minglang were at odds again, and the reason was that they were urging marriage. Cai Zhiliang also just heard about it today. Cai Mingbo introduced a young talent to her daughter, and they broke up after meeting her twice and feeling that their personalities were not compatible. This is perfectly normal.

But Cai Mingbo saw that Cai Meiqi was married, so he said a few words, which immediately pissed off Cai Meihui, and the father and daughter had a big quarrel.

It may be that their father and daughter are not compatible by nature. If someone else had said this, Cai Meihui would have just ignored it and just listened.

Cai Zhiliang said: "What's wrong with my vision? Don't you think this place is very spacious? You can build it however you want?"

Zhao Baoxiu asked: "How much does it cost? Isn't it cheap?"

Cai Zhiliang said: "It's not much money, more than 6 million."

"This is not much money. It is enough to buy several houses in Mid-Levels." Cai Meihui sighed and said, "When can I earn the money to buy a house?"

It’s not that Cai Meihui has no money, it’s just that she’s used to living in a mansion, so it’s hard to make do with it. As for renting a house, it’s really not safe.

"Just go to my place and do some work." Cai Zhiliang smiled and said, "I guarantee you can earn a house by the end of the year."

"What do you mean, it's more convenient for girls to live at home." Zhao Baoxiu stopped Cai Zhiliang. If Cai Mingbo complained about their mother and son in the future, saying that they were the instigators, it would be unclear.

"Your mother has taken care of your life in an orderly manner. How sad she must be to live outside like this." Zhao Baoxiu then played the emotional card and mentioned Zheng Qingqing.

Cai Meihui could only sigh helplessly, and Cai Zhiliang returned a helpless look.

"It's still a little too remote. It's not convenient to buy some daily necessities. How can we live there." Zhao Baoxiu looked around and felt that it would be okay to stay for a few days occasionally.

"Remoteness is not a problem. Just hire a driver and a nanny." Cai Zhiliang shook his head and said: "When I bought the foundation, I was thinking that such a big place can definitely accommodate some medical equipment. In this case, my dad can also

There is no need to stay in the hospital all the time. What do you think about hiring a professional medical team to be responsible for the prosecution and treatment of dad's condition?"

At first, Zhao Baoxiu wanted to take care of Cai Mingchao at home, but the conditions at home were really inconvenient, so she was sent to the hospital. When Cai Zhiliang said this, she suddenly felt moved.

"This will cost a lot of money, right?" Zhao Baoxiu knew that it was a big project after thinking about it.

Cai Zhiliang smiled and said: "It's just to build a few wards, not a hospital, so it won't cost much. We have already arranged for the company to come up with the design drawings, and construction can start early next month soon. As for the medical team, I have asked Dr. Jin.
