Li Xuan completely handed over the newly established Oriental Conductor Company to Zhang Zhongmou, and the only requirement was to complete the technical transformation as much as possible, and at least to achieve mass production of ERM processors by the real yàn room before June.
After leaving Dallas, Li Xuan flew to Washington again. The donkey elephant drama that has lasted for a year has finally come to an end. Republican candidate Ronald Reagan defeated Carter in his re-election campaign by a landslide.
Li Xuan previously invested $1 million in Bush Sr., and then Bush Sr. lost to Reagan in the party primary without any suspense. Then Reagan invited him, the biggest party rival, as his running mate. Li Xuan thus got involved with Reagan and smashed a check for $1 million.
Now it's finally time to hear a bang — an invitation to the inauguration of the President of the United States.
Walking out of the pick-up gate, Li Xuan recognized his girlfriend in the crowd at a glance, wearing a sky blue tweed coat and a pair of white snow boots, a little less sexy and enchanting, but a little more fresh and romantic.
"How long have you been waiting here?" Li Xuan smiled and gently touched Zhong Chuhong's delicate face.
"It didn't take long!" Zhong Chuhong smiled, "It happened that I had the same flight as Sir Bao and his daughter on the plane, and they also came to Washington to attend the inauguration ceremony!"
Li Xuan nodded, Mr. Bao Yugang had just finished last year with a gross tonnage of 21 million tons. He was crowned the king of the world by newspapers around the world. He is arguably the most influential Chinese businessman in Hong Kong's history, and is the guest of state of many prime ministers and heads of state. No matter which country's shipyard a 100,000-ton ship is under construction, it means that many jobs are created wherever it works. Therefore, she is naturally the object of politicians' efforts to befriend.
Li Xuan had already booked a luxury suite at the Four Seasons Hotel in advance, and a black Lincoln sedan sent by the hotel was already waiting outside the airport. This five-star luxury hotel is located on Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington's most famous property, not far from Capitol Hill and the White House.
The amendment to the U.S. Constitution stipulates that the presidential inauguration ceremony is scheduled for noon on January 20. But just after nine o'clock, Li Xuan had already taken his girlfriend into the VIP seat on the west side of Capitol Mountain. Half past nine. The inauguration ceremony began with a choir of elementary school students of all colors singing "America is Beautiful," followed by a performance by the Marine Corps. Afterwards, a well-known pastor led the audience in prayer. After the choir sang the "Battle Hymn of the Republic", it finally entered the inauguration session.
George W. Bush was the first to be sworn in as vice president under the oath of a Supreme Court justice. Then came the climax of the ceremony, with Ronald Reagan presided over by Justice Warren Berg. Press the Bible with your left hand. With his right hand raised in front of his chest, he was officially sworn in as the President of the United States at the 49th term.
In the next eight years, the most popular president in the history of the United States not only used "Reaganomics" to get the US economy out of the stagflation period that had plagued him for more than ten years, but also used the hard-line "Reagan Doctrine" to bring down the Red Soviet Union, the main enemy of the United States.
After the inaugural address, 200 invited dignitaries, the president, vice president, and their families traveled to the Capitol for a congressional luncheon. After the luncheon, the president and his wife led all the supporters. Depart from Capitol Hill and follow Pennsylvania Avenue. The inaugural ceremony was held, and then the official entry into the White House.
Of course, in order to embody American-style democracy, there was a special section along the march for opponents to demonstrate to the new president and express their demands. Upon arrival at the White House, the final part of the inauguration ceremony, the inaugural ball, kicked off with the president and his wife leading the dance.
The tedious process of the inauguration ceremony was by no means an easy task for Ronald Reagan, a 69-year-old man who only entered the White House. But he must be meticulous and behave appropriately throughout the process, and he must not let the media grasp the handle of the meaning that can be hyped, so being the president of the United States is by no means an easy task.
Reagan's ascension to power means that the "Reagan era" that Americans miss so much has officially begun. The 80s were arguably the happiest era for American companies, with massive tax cuts, cuts in welfare spending, and massive fiscal and military spending to stimulate the economy, and most American companies undoubtedly benefited greatly from Reagan's series of NEPs.
His Excellency the new president has naturally had a lot of opportunities in recent days, and during his stay in Washington, Li Xuan only had dinner with an important member of the campaign team. Of course, the other party has now ascended to heaven and has been nominated as the new U.S. government's secretary of commerce.
In fact, Li Xuan bet on both sides in the U.S. election, and he also bet on the Democratic presidential candidate, Mr. Edward Kennedy, but unfortunately he failed to defeat Carter in the party primary to win the final nomination. This Edward Kennedy is Li Xuan's former visit to the Kennedy Memorial Hall in Dallas, the younger brother of the assassinated president.
He is the only one of the four Kennedy brothers who is still alive, and Li Xuan, who lived in the United States in his previous life, is no stranger to him. He is one of the most influential Democratic senators in the Senate, and he is one of the most important promoters behind the scenes of the fact that Okuhei Tan was able to ascend to the presidency in the future.
Such a strongman who inherited all the political mantles of the Kennedy family, Li Xuan was naturally willing to spend some money to tie the relationship. You must know that the US Congress has always been more of a headache than the US government!
After a deal of political relations in Washington, Li Xuan returned to Hong Kong via Tokyo. Winter in Hong Kong is much warmer than in Washington, and Li Xuan can finally take off his thick coat.
After returning to Hong Kong, the most important thing in front of Li Xuan was the listing of Aikang. Not long ago, iKang completed a private placement round, in which Dongfang Electronics sold 20 million of the total 80 million shares to four funds and venture capitalists at a price of £4.5 per share. In the IPO plan of Aikang, 20 million public shares will be issued to the market. Bringing the total share capital to 100 million shares.
Different from the additional issuance, Dongfang Electronics' private placement action is to transfer equity as a major shareholder. So at 4.5 pounds per share, 20 million shares involve a total of 90 million pounds of funds, which do not go into the account of Aikang, but into the account of Dongfang Electronics.
This is also a cash-out action carried out by Dongfang Electronics before listing, and you must know that the funds raised by the public offering belong to the listed company Aikang Computer. As the controlling shareholder, Dongfang Electronics has a long lock-up period after the listing of Aikang shares.
Even after the lock-in period. Major shareholders who want to reduce their holdings and cash out not only need to report to the stock exchange, but also easily cause the entire market to worry about the operating conditions of listed companies, and if they are not careful, they will cause the company's stock price to fluctuate violently.
So. Taking advantage of the opportunity for other venture capital to intervene before the listing action begins, a part of the cash will be cashed out first. The funds of 90 million pounds are equivalent to 1.089 billion Hong Kong dollars at the current exchange rate. Affected by Apple's stock price rising all the way after going public. The British financial market is very optimistic about the market of a similar company like Aikang Computer. The initial valuation of Aikang Computer is as high as 360 million pounds.
Since the financial exposure of Dongfang Electronics last year, the Hong Kong media has been paying close attention to all the developments of Dongfang Electronics. After the listing of Aikang Computer began to accelerate, the Hong Kong Economic Journal specially sent a special reporter to follow up and report. The information of the first round of private placement of Aikang Computer was disclosed, and the reporter of "Hong Kong Economic Journal" confirmed it twice before he dared to believe it.
In fact, after Apple went public, the Hong Kong Economic Journal had an approximate valuation of Aikang. Comparing the sales figures of the two companies, Apple's current market value has exceeded $2 billion, and although Aikang Computer is not a listed company, it can be worth seven or eight billion dollars.
But when someone is really willing to give such a high valuation. When he took out real money to buy shares of Aikang, the shock was still unbelievable. Oriental Electronics' iKang Computer is worth £360 million. This is equivalent to HK$4.3 billion.
Before, Hong Kong people thought that Dongfang Electronics' market value of 5 billion Hong Kong dollars was shocking enough, but now it seems that everyone is too conservative. Dongfang Games, another company under Dongfang Electronics, has a better revenue capacity than Aikang Computer. In this way, Dongfang Electronics is at least a giant company worth more than 10 billion.
Previously, a series of acquisitions by Dongfang Electronics made the company's cash tense all of a sudden, and later when Li Xuan acquired Li's TV station, he even used part of the credit line of Standard Chartered Bank.
In recent months, the continuous replenishment of the gold-sucking cow in Oriental Games has restored the company's cash flow. But Li Xuan's wafer fab acquisition during his trip to the United States once again hollowed out the accumulated funds. As a result, after Dongfang Electronics cashed out part of the equity of Aikang, there was an extra amount of available funds of up to more than 1 billion yuan in the account instantly.
"Xiao Li Sheng, this is the information you want!" Ke Lilun knocked lightly on the door, walked into the office, and handed over a bag of papers.
Li Xuan nodded, stretched out his hand to take the Wen Jiàn bag, and then untied the white thread wrapped around the seal of the Wen Jiàn bag, and took out the Wen Jiàn inside and browsed it carefully.
Founded in 1925, Jiahua Bank, one of the oldest Chinese-funded banks in Hong Kong, has 29 branches in Hong Kong, with total deposits of HK$5.28 billion, total assets of HK$6.64 billion and net assets of HK$727 million.
The bank is doing well, but the majority shareholder, Mr. Lin Zifeng, passed away recently, and the descendants of the Lin family have no intention of continuing to run the bank, so they are ready to sell their 75% stake in the bank.
Dongfang Electronics itself is not short of funds, and Dongfang Games' continuous profits every month are enough to support the expenses of other companies. Li Xuan naturally will not let more than a billion funds be idle in his bank account, and the acquisition of a bank is a very important part of his construction of the entire electronic empire system.
