Chapter 382: Exchange in Hong Kong

Saturday, February 26.

Xu Yiyang left the dormitory early in the morning with his suitcase, and together with Shen Lele, under the send-off of his roommates, he came to the door of the political and educational building, where the bus prepared by the school was already waiting.

Before getting into the car, Xu Yiyang and Shen Lele checked their documents and cash.

According to the country's foreign exchange regulations, short-term visits to Hong Kong can be exchanged for Hong Kong dollars worth 1,000 US dollars, so both of them exchanged more than 8,200 yuan in cash for 7,780 Hong Kong dollars according to the highest specifications.

Check that it is correct and get on the bus.

In the car, there were already more than a dozen students and teachers.

The people who led the team this time were Hu Lao and Li Yunhui, the director of the Academic Affairs Office, and in addition to them, there were several younger professors.

As for the students, there were twelve in total, and three were selected from the first year to the fourth year.

After the two got into the car, Hu Lao hurriedly introduced him to the other teachers and students who accompanied him.

However, among the nine sophomores, juniors, and seniors, Xu Yiyang only knew Xu Yanan, the president of the student union, and the others had never even heard of it.

At this time, Ning Ruolin walked up with her suitcase, and when she saw that everyone had arrived, she said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, the last one arrived." ”

Hu Lao smiled: "It's not late before the departure time, don't be embarrassed." ”

Immediately after, he said, "Hurry up and find a vacant seat to sit down, since everyone is here, let's leave for the airport." ”

Ning Ruolin saw Xu Yiyang and Shen Lele sitting together, so she waved hello to them, and then sat on the empty seat on the other side of the aisle.

The bus left the school, and Mr. Hu introduced the general arrangements for this exchange on the way.

The reason why this exchange lasted so long is mainly because I hope that through this exchange activity, we can promote long-term exchanges and cooperation between the two universities.

After all, in the new century, the leaders of China Overseas University hope that the students of this school will have more opportunities to go out.

So this time, they not only have to engage in academic exchanges with the English major of the University of Hong Kong, but also have some exchange activities with other majors, but the specific schedule and plan will depend on the arrangements of the University of Hong Kong.

The group arrived at the airport, and after going through security and customs, they went straight to the waiting area near the gate.

In the whole team, only Xu Yiyang and Ning Ruolin seemed to be a little uninterested, and the other teachers and classmates were all excited.

After all, it was 2000, and less than half of everyone had ever flown on a plane, let alone been to Hong Kong.

Xu Yiyang speculated that not counting himself, a reborn, among these students, only Ning Ruolin might have been to Hong Kong.

However, Ning Ruolin doesn't seem to have any feelings for Hong Kong.

Actually, he's the same.

About 20 minutes before boarding, Xu Yiyang received a call from Mr. Ma of Tencent.

He hurriedly stood up, went to a no-man's corner and answered the phone.

"Hey, Mr. Ma. ”

Mr. Ma's voice came: "Hello Mr. Xu, your school should have already opened, right?"

"Yes. Xu Yiyang said: "School has started. ”

After speaking, he asked again: "Mr. Ma, what is the matter with you?"

Mr. Ma said: "Mr. Xu, that's the case, Tencent's business and revenue have grown by leaps and bounds recently, which has attracted a lot of attention, and a very well-known Hong Kong businessman has contacted me in the past two days, saying that he hopes to invest in Tencent, and the valuation conditions given are very generous, and I plan to consider it." ”

Xu Yiyang couldn't help frowning: "Hong Kong businessman, can you tell me who it is?"

Mr. Ma hurriedly said: "It's the second son of the Li family in Hong Kong, Li Zekai." ”

Xu Yiyang's brows furrowed even tighter.

The second son of the Li family invested in Tencent last year, but it may be because Tencent took his own 6 million first, so he didn't go online with him again.

Now that he has found Tencent again, it seems that he is really a fate to be a little entangled with Tencent.

However, Xu Yiyang's evaluation of the second son of the Li family is not high, and even the evaluation of the entire Li family is not high.

The Li family's routine of making a fortune is simple and rude, and the most direct set of dismissals is to raise property prices, sell high and suck low, which seems to be infinitely beautiful on the surface, but in fact, it is sucking blood from the whole of Hong Kong.

Hong Kong's property prices are unattainable, and the rent is also amazingly expensive, and many people work hard all their lives for nothing more than a set of so-called mansions that are dozens of square meters small.

Even, the game of selling off-plan housing and calculating public sharing is also created by them.

Xu Yiyang saw the brilliance of the Li family, but rarely saw what progress the Li family could bring to society.

It is said that when the mainland invited them to come to the mainland to promote the development of urban real estate, they instead borrowed the favorable policies given by the government to circle the best land at a low price, and then threw it away for several years or more than ten years.

Throw the best land there, don't start construction and don't develop, but wait for the price to skyrocket, and then directly sell, cash out and leave.

This mode of operation is not to promote the development of mainland cities, but to parasitize the continent to nourish oneself, and after absorbing nutrients, one will leave the host without hesitation.

As for the second son of the Li family, the image and style of a playboy, I will not comment, after all, there are many rich second generations in the mainland who are entangled with Internet celebrities and celebrities every day.

However, the routine of the second son of the Li family to make money really made Xu Yiyang despised.

He has done a lot of big business with empty gloves and white wolves, and is even called Superman, the most famous of which is Cyberport and PCCW.

Cyberport is a big move by the Hong Kong government to build Cyberport to attract a large number of high-end Internet companies, and to transform Hong Kong's future transformation into Silicon Valley and become the IT hub of Asia.

And this project, after being obtained by Superman, was transformed into a commercial real estate project, making a lot of money by himself, but burying the IT dream of the whole Hong Kong;

PCCW is another classic case of Superman swallowing.

He used a shell company to frantically paint a pie for Hong Kong Telecom, and on the other hand, he used his bank connections to obtain credit loans of up to $13 billion from banks.

Almost without spending a penny, in less than 20 days, he defeated Singtel and took the century-old Hong Kong Telecom.

And then, PCCW's market value has plummeted from more than 500 billion Hong Kong dollars to more than 20 billion at a speed visible to the naked eye, and I don't know how many Hong Kong investors have been trapped.

As for Superman himself, he has already obtained a large amount of benefits in various reductions and cash-outs.

In addition to the empty glove white wolf, Superman also has a classic negative case, which is to sell Tencent shares.

He invested $1.1 million in Tencent that year, holding 20% of the shares, and sold $12.6 million a year later.

But he never dreamed that Tencent's market value would reach more than $400 billion......

As a result, the short-term operation that he thought was very slippery has become the most classic "short-sighted" case in the history of the Internet.

Now that he is eyeing Tencent again, do you still want to play a wave of short-term operations?

Thinking of this, Xu Yiyang asked him with a smile: "Mr. Ma, how did you get in touch with the second young master of the Li family?"

Mr. Ma said seriously: "In fact, their family has been investing in the Shenzhen market recently, and Tencent's revenue exceeded 10 million last month, attracting the attention of many capitalists, and Mr. Li is also one of them." ”

Xu Yiyang snorted and asked again, "What do you think about this?"

Mr. Ma said: "I think this is a good opportunity, Mr. Li's resources are still very strong, and his influence in Hong Kong's financial field is also very large, if we take his investment, in the future, with the help of Mr. Li in Hong Kong, it will be much easier." ”

Xu Yiyang said: "But we are not short of money now, the profit of mobile QQ in the first month has exceeded 10 million, and it will even exceed 15 million in February, and at the end of the year, it will even be tens of millions a month, and it is easy to earn hundreds of millions a year, and there is no shortage of money, why do you need financing?"

Saying that, Xu Yiyang said: "Financing, the two things I am most afraid of are melting indiscriminately spending and not spending, and blindly financing without lack of money, in my personal opinion, it is a little irrational." ”

Mr. Ma hurriedly explained: "Mr. Xu, Mr. Li's valuation is indeed very good, and he also recognizes our development prospects this year, thinking that our net profit this year is expected to be close to 200 million yuan, so he is willing to invest in us at a valuation of 10 times the net profit, that is, 2 billion yuan, and Mr. Li is investing in US dollars, which will give us a valuation of 240 million US dollars, and he intends to hold 20% of the shares, that is, invest us 48 million US dollars in cash." ”

After speaking, Mr. Ma said: "Mr. Xu, you see, we want to make a net profit of one or two hundred million, and we have to wait until the end of the year, there are still more than ten months in this cycle, and no one knows what will happen in these ten months, in case of any accident, we may not be able to achieve such a high profit, but if we agree to Mr. Li's financing now, then we can have an extra $48 million in cash on the account, which is equivalent to 400 million yuan!"

Xu Yiyang sighed and said, "Mr. Ma, what do you want these 400 million yuan for?"

Mr. Ma said: "Now the Internet industry is developing rapidly, Mr. Li believes that now the global Internet is hot, and soon a large number of Internet companies will usher in the rise, and now most of the Internet companies are still losing money and burning money, and there are very few Internet companies like us that can make money, in contrast, we are a high-quality project in the Internet industry, so this is one of the reasons why he is very optimistic about us." ”

Xu Yiyang sneered in his heart.

Now that you think that a large number of the Internet will usher in the rise? All those who hold this view will be slapped in the face by the Internet crash in a month.

However, the second son of the Li family looks at it this way, and it is indeed the mainstream thinking, and now is the last carnival before the bursting of the Internet bubble, such as Cisco, Amazon, and other US stocks, the stock prices will climb to the peak in the next month, and then plummet.

How much the second son of the Li family wants to invest in Tencent now is simply because he is optimistic about the short-term prospects of the Internet and Tencent's profitability, and wants to seize the opportunity to enter the market in advance and make a wave of money.

A month later, the Internet bubble burst, and even if Mr. Ma knelt down and begged him to invest, he would never invest.

It's just that Mr. Ma can't see this layer yet.

So, he asked Mr. Ma: "They see that our business is developing rapidly, so they want to come in and get a piece of the pie, no matter how you look at it, it is a cheap thing for them to make, why should we do it?"
