"Sir Bao, congratulations on sitting on the throne of the world's No. 1 ship king, this move has greatly boosted the morale of my Chinese!" Xia Yu raised his wine glass and toasted to Bao Yugang.

"Haha, it's too famous, what the king of the ship is not the king of the ship, it is all commented by the Americans, it can't be true! It can't be true!" Bao Yugang waved his hand and smiled heartily.

Then, he and Xia Yu touched their glasses, took a sip of wine, looked at Xia Yu, and said with emotion: "Xia Sheng is still young and promising, starting from scratch in a short period of time, and working hard to build such a big family business, he will soon be able to surpass me, an old man." ”

"Haha, Sir you have a good reputation, this is all luck, I want to surpass you, I don't know if I have this honor in my life!" Xia Yu hurriedly said humbly, he didn't dare to respond to Bao Yugang's praise, he still had to be humble when he should be humble, it was always right.

In fact, for Bao Yugang, although it is the first time to communicate, but Xia Yu is admiration and respect in his heart, the deeds of Bao Yugang in his previous life are widely circulated on the Internet, Xia Yu understands that after he understands, he is sincerely admired, and now when he sees the real person, a good feeling arises spontaneously.

Bao Yugang, a native of Boning, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, found out in 1984 that he was the twenty-ninth grandson of Bao Zheng, and he was also the Chinese world ship king recommended by the world.

At the beginning of 1949, Bao Yugang came to Xiangjiang and co-founded a joint venture to open a Chinese bank, which operated import trade and shipped imported steel, cotton, medicine and other urgently needed materials for the mainland. In 1955, Universal Limited was established to transport coal between India and the islands. The following year, Egypt took back the Suez Canal as state ownership, and the freight rate rose sharply, and the company received a lot of money, so it purchased new ships and expanded its business. Following the cooperation with the Japanese shipbuilding industry, the financial industry, and the Hong Kong HSBC Bank, it has gradually become famous in the shipping industry. In 1967, the fleet was expanded during the Middle East War and the oil crisis, and in 1970 it was renamed Universal Shipping Group Co., Ltd., and in 1972, Global International Finance Co., Ltd. was established and he served as the chairman of the board of directors.

And this year, his sea kingdom reached its peak, firmly sitting in the first place of the world's top ten ship kings. Later, Fortune and Newsweek called him "the ruler of the sea" and "the king of the sea."

Not only that, he was also the first Chinese director to join the British-owned HSBC bank.

In his previous life, he made a strong acquisition of Wharf, raised 2.1 billion funds in three days, reversed the situation strongly, and increased his stake to 49% in only two hours, acquiring Wharf in one fell swoop.

This battle caused a sensation in the entire Xiangjiang, greatly increased the morale of the Chinese, and hit the arrogance of the British-funded consortium.

Later, he acquired Wheelock, one of the four major British-funded foreign companies!

In addition to his career, he also has a lot of honors, not much else, Xia Yu called him Sir Bao because he was knighted by the Queen of England in 1976.

Of course, what Xia Yu admires the most is Bao Yugang's patriotic heart, vigorously supporting the construction of the motherland, and donating money and materials, Ningbo University was established by Bao Yugang with a huge amount of money, in addition, his other charitable acts are many, such as building hotels, libraries, schools and so on for the imperial capital free of charge.

It's a pity that compared with Li Chaoren, Li Zhaoji and others, Bao Yugang did not live long, and only lived to die in 1991.

And because Bao Yugang had no children under his knees, he could only hand over the foundation he had worked hard to his son-in-law Wu Guangzheng, one of the top ten consortia in Xiangjiang, and finally his surname was Wu, which has to be said to be a pity in the eyes of outsiders.

However, in Xia Yu's opinion, Bao Yugang is not wrong, his son-in-law Wu Guangzheng is indeed a very capable person, and he is not a white-eyed wolf, he is very fond of his wife, and for the Bao family, it is also the best result.

......

"Xia Sheng, your name as a god is like thunder, I also want to touch your blessings, I plan to subscribe to ten shares, I don't know if it's okay?" Bao Yugang said with a smile, speaking very level, so that Xia Yu listened very comfortably.

"Thank you Sir for your support, I will not let you down!" Xia Yu said solemnly.

Although Bao Yugang didn't say that it was ten shares of that fund, Xia Yu knew that he was talking about Huijin No. 1 Fund with one share of one million Hong Kong dollars, and ten shares were ten million Hong Kong dollars, which was not much for Bao Yugang, who was worth more than two billion Hong Kong dollars.

And Xia Yu also believes that he, a tycoon who stands at the top of the Xiangjiang River and controls major resources, has more opportunities to make a lot of money. But now he still invested 10 million Hong Kong dollars, not so much as investment, but to support Xia Yu, this kind of atmospheric move made Xia Yu have a good impression of him.

Feeling Xia Yu's attitude, Bao Yugang was in a good mood, laughed, and said indifferently: "It should be that I thank you, it's my honor to have a god to help me make money." ”

Hearing Bao Yugang's words, Xia Yu smiled slightly bitterly, didn't argue anymore, just hugged him with a fist to express his inner gratitude.

"Xia Sheng, you are busy first, there are still so many guests to take care of, don't worry about me, next time you have time to come to my Bao house to sit down, I will ask you for advice." ”

Then, Xia Yu walked to the other bigwigs again.

Xia Yu is the host, out of etiquette, he has to say hello to other bigwigs, after all, many people are stronger than him in strength and status, now give face to come, and this is the first meeting and exchange between Xia Yu and them, his etiquette must be in place.

And with the help of this cocktail party, getting to know other bigwigs and expanding contacts is also something that Xia Yu has planned for a long time.

The only pity is that there were no Britons at this reception, but he was mentally prepared, after all, Jiuding Securities Company had just slapped the British in the face, and no British accepted the invitation in a grand manner.

At least, his courtesy has been delivered, and he will not offend people!

While Xia Yu was socializing with other bigwigs, Jin Jiajun and Elewen were busy on their side.

As long as one person has registered, then someone will immediately pick up the registration and subscribe, and this kind of enthusiasm makes them and the surrounding staff happy.

Soon, some employees found Xia Yu and reported to Xia Yu that the 100 shares of Huijin No. 1 Fund had been subscribed, and even Huizhong No. 1 Fund had less than 10 million left, and it would be subscribed soon, but there were still people on the scene who wanted to subscribe, Jin Jiajun hurriedly sent someone over to ask Xia Yu what to do.

Xia Yu did not hesitate, and directly asked the employee to tell Jin Jiajun that the quota limit of Huijin No. 1 Fund was lifted, while the quota of Huizhong No. 1 Fund remained unchanged.

The employees who got the order immediately reported to Kim Jiajun, and when they got permission, Kim Jiajun's side was once again surrounded by people.

By the end of the reception, the fundraising of 50 million Hong Kong dollars by Huizhong No. 1 Fund at the reception has been completed, and the 50 million Hong Kong dollars raised before, the amount of 100 million Hong Kong dollars has been completed.

After the statistics of Huijin No. 1 Fund, it raised 200 million Hong Kong dollars, and it was originally raised to 193 million Hong Kong dollars, but the last real estate tycoon Wang Dehui directly made up 7 million, so that the amount reached exactly 200 million Hong Kong dollars.

This fundraising reception was a complete success!

Wait until tomorrow to start, the subscribed rich will put the money into the fund account specially opened by Jiuding Securities Company, if not in three days, it will be regarded as giving up the subscription!

However, Xia Yu estimates that no one should give up on subscribing, and no one should do this kind of untrustworthy behavior that offends Xia Yu!

The next day, Jiuding Securities Company announced the fundraising of the two funds, which immediately caused a sensation, and the reputation of Jiuding Securities Company became even louder.

After all, a total of 300 million Hong Kong dollars, which is a huge amount, is held in the hands of Jiuding Securities Company, which can not only help Jiuding Securities Company make money, but also increase the strength of Jiuding Securities Company.

Coupled with the original capital, Jiuding Securities Company can be said to be the largest securities company in Xiangjiang!

Even Liu Tianci called over to congratulate Xia Yu at the first time.

In addition to the fundraising situation of Jiuding Securities Company, last night's cocktail party was also exposed by Jiuding Daily, and many tycoons were present in person, directly mentioning the specifications of the cocktail party to the top level of Xiangjiang, which naturally aroused heated discussions among the public.

Xia Yu's status has also risen a lot invisibly.

When Xia Yu came to Jiuding Newspaper Company and Jiuding Securities Company the next day, he could feel that the attitude of the employees had changed a little, and they became a little restrained, and they respected him even more.

......

Soon, all the funds were in place the next day, and the wealthy people who had subscribed to the fund also took away the equity certificates of the fund.

When the funds are in place, then it is time for the two funds to officially set sail!
