This gold investment earned a profit of 600 million pounds, a yield of 4 times. Investment fees were paid, £400 million was transferred back to UK accounts, gains were £310 million, and taxes were paid £124 million. Funds were distributed, with a total of £28 million in the family money account and £166 million in Andrew's UK money account.

In June, the investment company's Middle East investment plan also began to show its eye. For a road construction project in the United Arab Emirates, the investment company won a financing loan of 100 million pounds.

In July, when the price of gold fell below $150 an ounce, Andrew re-entered the gold market, buying £400 million of gold at $149 an ounce for market holding. Another 400 million pounds of gold was used as margin, and 2 billion pounds of gold was bought in the form of margin deferred trading.

At the beginning of August, Mr. Henry of Hong Kong received news that the Golden Gate Building, which was owned by Gammon Construction, was intended to be sold at a price of 700 million Hong Kong dollars. In this regard, after Andrew learned about the relevant situation, he explained that Mr. Henry could make appropriate contacts, negotiate slowly, and not rush to get it done.

According to the current economic situation in Hong Kong, it is unlikely that a large amount of money will be bought at this time, so just keep an eye on it. After October, the funds began to covertly absorb the public shares of Gammon Construction. If the acquisition is successful at the end of the year, the Golden Gate Building will be in the bag.

Andrew's interest in Gammon Construction is that Gammon Construction is currently the general contractor of many construction projects in Hong Kong and the Asia-Pacific region, and has a strong reputation in the construction field in the Asia-Pacific region. In the next 20 years, the economic development of the Asia-Pacific region will be very good, and the future development prospects of Gammon Construction are very bright.

October, the beginning of the school year. This year is the final year of Andrew Oxford's undergraduate economics degree, and he will graduate in July next year. During this year's orientation week of the Department of Economics, the department arranged for Andrew's senior students to lead the new students reported this year, meet each other, and guide the new students to familiarize themselves with the learning and living environment of Oxford University.

This year, the proportion of new students reported by the Department of Economics is much higher than in previous years. Seeing these young students, Andrew's old seniors are very enthusiastic, active, and gentlemanly.

In this orientation week, Andrew had a good impression of each other and got along with a school girl Emma in the process of getting to know and communicating with each other.

When it comes to real emotions, Andrew is still quite cautious and conservative. Influenced by the aesthetic and emotional views of his previous life, Andrew did not like and agree with the aesthetics and love views of British girls in this era.

According to the aesthetic sense of British men, the schoolgirl Emma is not very beautiful. It is more inclined to the characteristics of Asian women, with a relatively petite figure, black hair, lake blue eyes, not very fair skin, three-dimensional facial features are relatively soft, and the body curve is not very prominent.

And Andrew was influenced by the aesthetics of his previous life, and he liked Emma's biased Asian female appearance very much, and he had a familiar taste. Moreover, Andrew has always been insensitive to the general big breasts and rough skin of British girls.

In addition, the younger sister Emma's conservative, intellectually confident, gentle and generous personality is very to Andrew's taste.

And Andrew's handsome and free-spirited, not very enthusiastic but respectful attitude towards women, and the temperament of a successful person also attracted Emma's favor.

As time passed, as Andrew and Emma interacted, they learned a little about their families.

Emma's family has been in the trading and shipping business in Liverpool for nearly 200 years, and her parents are 1/2 Chinese and English, and her grandmother and grandfather studied in the UK, both from Shanghai during the Republic of China. He has 3 older brothers, all of whom have joined the workforce. She is the little princess of the family and is very loved by the family.

Knowing that Emma's grandmother and grandfather are both from Shanghai, China, Andrew is excited. The Shanghainese dialect in the memory of the previous life blurted out: "Can Nong speak Shanghainese?"

Emma was very surprised, her eyes widened, and she looked at Andrew in disbelief.

Andrew, who came back to his senses, looked at Emma's surprised and cute expression, and found a reasonable reason: the family business opened a hotel in Hong Kong, and during the first two years in Hong Kong, he was interested in learning some Chinese and Shanghainese.

"Andrew, you are so good, you spoke Shanghainese very authenticly just now! I don't speak as well as your grandmother and grandfather speak authentic Shanghainese. ”

Because of this topic in Shanghai, the relationship between the two has become much closer.

In late November, the investment company had initial results in its development in Saudi Arabia and was negotiating with the Saudi government's construction department for a £100 million financing loan early next year.

In December of '74, when the price of gold broke through $180 per ounce, Andrew instructed investment firms to start preparing to sell their gold holdings. According to the memory of previous lives, at the end of '74, the price of gold closed at $183.9 per ounce. Just in case, Andrew's final instruction to the investment company was to gradually sell gold at $182 an ounce, and by December 20, it must be sold in full.

After the Hong Kong stock market experienced the 73 stock market crash and the 74 oil crisis, the Hang Seng Index fell to 150 points on December 10, a drop of 90% in two years. The investment value of the Hong Kong stock market was rediscovered, and the funds from the sale of gold, under Andrew's arrangement, flowed back to the Hong Kong stock market, and began to buy HSBC, Gammon Construction, Wharf, Hutchison and several Chinese-funded real estate stocks.

From December 8, after the price of gold reached $182 per ounce, the investment company gradually sold its gold holdings, and by December 18, all of them were sold. The average price was US$182.6 per ounce, with a net profit of £440 million.

At this point, the gold investment is temporarily over. After paying taxes, Andrew now has a total of about £600 million.

In mid-December, 10 days before Christmas, Andrew flew to Hong Kong, where the acquisition of Gammon Construction entered its final stages. Since October, it has acquired 23% of the public shares on the stock market and 9% from minority shareholders, and now holds a total of 32% of Gammon Construction, spread across 10 people.

Gammon Construction has a total of 200 million shares, 35% of which are outstanding, and since the stock price has been falling, the original shareholders have been selling it, and Mr. Henry's veteran control of the buying rhythm has not been revealed. Now that 23% of the shares have been collected, Andrew asked Mr. Henry to temporarily stop the collection action. Now the focus is on the shares in the hands of shareholders.

Mr. Henry analysed Gammon's shareholders, with the largest shareholder holding 28% of the shares and Hongkong Land holding 8%. At present, there are three shareholders who are more interested in selling Gammon Construction, holding a total of 12% of the shares, but they need to increase the premium by 3%.

In this regard, Andrew made two arrangements for Mr. Henry, one is to appropriately suppress the share price of Gammon Construction in the stock market, and the other is to negotiate with three shareholders who are more interested in selling Gammon Construction the specific premium ratio for the acquisition of shares. Third, under the premise of confidentiality, it is better to acquire the shares of some shareholders.

On Monday, December 17, Gammon Construction's share price fell 5% following the implementation of a deliberate action arranged by Mr. Henry to suppress Gammon Construction's share price.

The next morning, at the close of the afternoon session, Gammon Construction's share price fell 3 percent. In the afternoon, negotiations with a shareholder of Gammon Construction went relatively smoothly, and the acquisition of a 6% stake was negotiated at a premium of 30% to yesterday's closing price.

In the afternoon, Gammon Construction's shares fell 4% and 7% for the day. In the evening, they negotiated with two shareholders of Gammon Construction who each held 3% of the shares, and finally negotiated the acquisition of 6% of the shares at a premium of 30% at yesterday's closing price.

At this point, Andrew already held 44% of the shares of Gammon Construction, and when he could no longer obtain the shares of minority shareholders, Andrew asked Mr. Henry to collect the outstanding shares on the stock market for another three days in a covert way to see what was going on.

As soon as the market opened on Wednesday morning, Gammon Construction was depressed by 2% by a large sell order, and dozens of small orders were sold in a row, creating a strong downward trend in the stock price. After experiencing the decline in the first two days, small shareholders have chosen to lower their stock prices and sell after seeing today's strong downward trend in stock prices.

Just three days later, Mr. Henry collected another 4% of the outstanding shares on the stock market. 27% of the outstanding shares in the market went to Andrew. Andrew already owns 48% of Gammon Construction.

With another 2.1 percent stake, Gammon will change hands. Next week is the Christmas holiday and the stock market is closed. After consulting with Mr. Henry, Andrew looked at the situation of the first three days and felt that after the Christmas holiday, there would be some hidden collection of outstanding shares in the stock market.

Andrew decided to give Mr. Henry 10 days after the Christmas break to be able to stealthily collect a 2.1% stake at best. If you can't, think about what to do.

The day before Christmas, Andrew returned to London to spend the Christmas holidays.

January 9, 1975. School opened, and Andrew's final half of his college career began. Andrew and Emma, who hadn't seen each other for a month, met on the campus lawn for a reunion, and at that moment, the two young people who stared at each other quickly sublimated and gradually transformed into love for each other.

Staring at Emma's pretty face in front of him, Andrew couldn't help but step forward with a hug, picked Emma up, and after turning around in the air, he stared at Emma tenderly, and said affectionately: "Emma, I love you"!

Without waiting for Emma's response, Andrew lowered his head and gave Emma a sudden hot kiss on her cherry lips. At this time, Emma's mind was filled with a wave of dizziness, shock, joy, happiness, and excitement. Unconsciously wrapped his hands around Andrew's neck, opened his red lips, and greeted the invasion of the tip of Andrew's tongue.

At this moment, the happy and sweet atmosphere enveloped the two young people who embraced and kissed each other, as if the world was silent, and only each other's existence.

Andrew and Emma's love is both an ordinary story and a beautiful legend.

Andrew, who has harvested a love honey fruit, has been feeling comfortable and happy in the past few days. And the good news from Mr. Henry of Hong Kong brought another joy to Andrew.

By the ninth trading day after the opening of the Hong Kong stock market, Mr. Henry had successfully collected 2.1% of the outstanding shares of Gammon Construction in the stock market, so that 50.1% of Gammon Construction's shares were in Andrew's hands. An announcement can be made, and the controlling stake in Gammon Construction has changed hands.

Andrew appointed Mr. Henry as the representative of the controlling shareholder to join Gammon Construction, complete the share registration, and reorganize the board of directors of Gammon Construction. and issued a mandatory cash offer to shareholders who also hold shares in Gammon Construction.

On the third day of the announcement, after some negotiations, shareholders who still hold shares in Gammon Construction transferred 44% of their shares at a 35% premium to the current share price. Having completed the 44% share transfer, Andrew now holds a 94.1% stake in Gammon Construction, appointed Mr. Henry as Managing Director, and began arranging for the delisting of Gammon Construction's shares.

At the same time, Andrew also received a reminder from Shen Bi of Hong Kong that Hongkong Land's New Bikin publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with Andrew's acquisition of Gammon Construction, and may have means to obstruct Gammon Construction's business.

In this regard, Andrew was a little depressed and angry, you are too lenient to manage the land, and if you look for opportunities in the future, you must take a good pit.

Fortunately, the good news from the investment company diluted Andrew's depression, and the investment company's 100 million construction financing loan project in Saudi Arabia was negotiated and the contract was signed.

Andrew made arrangements for the success of the investment company's investment in the oil-producing countries of the Middle East and the possible adverse situation that Hong Kong Gammon Construction would face.

After Gammon Construction's delisting and privatization, the asset and business restructuring will be carried out, at which time Andrew's Success Investment Company will be involved in the business restructuring of Gammon Construction. The construction project of the oil-producing countries in the Middle East will be another business direction of Gammon Construction.

After arranging the affairs of Hong Kong, Andrew's attention returned, the preparation and management of his graduation thesis and Emma's love became Andrew's daily life.
