Chapter 259: In London-2
"Yes, gentlemen, Fengxing will be listed in the next three years, there is no doubt ......, although the bonds of your subscription cannot be converted into shares before listing, but after listing, you can convert this part of the bonds into Fengxing stocks according to the issue price, I believe you will get satisfactory returns.

Lin Feng sat on a Chester cowhide rivet antique single sofa, shaking the brown-red whiskey in the wine glass, and smiled.
In order to welcome Lin Feng, I opened a bottle of Dalmore 62 (Damo 62) from the club's treasure tonight.
In 1943 the Great Mort Distillery in the Scottish Highlands released 12 bottles of premium single malt whisky, each malted aged in 1868, 1876, 1926 and 1939, each given its own unique name.
This Da Mo 62 is called Matheson, and its name is derived from the name of Alexander Matheson, the owner of Da Mo Distillery. Because of its rarity, a single bottle can cost up to Β£30,000.
The Da Mo Distillery is one of the oldest in Scotland, and the royal buck badge with twelve forked antlers on the bottle is impressive.
It is said that in 1263 AD, the ancestors of Crane McKenzie, the founder of the Damo Distillery, rescued Alexander III from being trapped under the antlers of a stag. As a token of appreciation, Alexander III awarded him the honor of wearing a deer's head insignia on his coat and arm, with the inscription "Save the King".
Later, the McKenzie family founded the Da Mo Distillery, and each bottle of whisky was adorned with the royal buck badge of this noble twelve-branched antler.
For the tradition-conscious English gentlemen, entertaining Woods with the finest Scotch whisky is the greatest courtesy.
"We are all looking forward to the future of Fengxing going public! Judging from the current revenue scale and profitability, perhaps it will be the company with the highest market value among Chinese Internet companies! A middle-aged man with a shrewd face in a well-tailored three-piece suit smiled.
Lin Feng was extremely polite to him, behind the investment manager of Schroders Investment Management Company named Lehmann, but one of the largest fund companies in the world, he smiled and nodded: "Of course, Lehmann, I also have the same confidence in this!" β
Nick from Aberdeen Asset Management laughed: "Richard, Jennifer told us that the financing of this Β£200 million bond is for the sake of further strategic acquisitions, do you have any big moves?" Can you tell us about it, and maybe if we don't have enough money, we can continue to add more! β
For Aberdeen, which has more than $40 billion in funds under management, it only gets a share of 50 million pounds out of 200 million pounds, which is just a small investment worth mentioning......
But for Lin Feng's next goal, he was very interested.
To be honest, the reason why these funds are willing to subscribe to popular bonds on such favorable terms is precisely because of Lin Feng's raid on the acquisition of Tencent, and they have seen Lin Feng's strategic vision and decisive domineering, which is obviously the quality required to become a legendary entrepreneur.
They are optimistic about the future of Lin Feng and Fengxing.
Lin Feng smiled and shook his head: "Thank you, Nick, I am very grateful for your generosity and trust, but from the current point of view, Fengxing should temporarily meet the demand in terms of funds, after the acquisition of Tencent and the integration of the two businesses, the overall revenue level of Fengxing has increased by 80%, and Fengxing's current quarterly revenue has been around 100 million US dollars, and our profit margin is more than 75%. β
Everyone was very satisfied with this new news, and raised their glasses and smiled: "100 million US dollars."
After contacting these funds and drinking two glasses of wine, Lin Feng got up and said goodbye.
Before leaving, he said casually: "By the way, according to my judgment, although Menglong's performance can still maintain a relatively good growth, but by the industry supervision of China's mobile communications field, SP concept stocks are estimated to be affected, so I suggest that you can sell Menglong stocks in your hands." β
Old Phil asked puzzledly: "For Menglong, Richard, do you have a new plan?" I noticed that Menglong had started a share repurchase program. β
Lin Feng smiled, did not answer directly, but said with a smile: "Believe me, Menglong's stock price should be the highest point now, and it will continue to fall after that, this is an industry problem, and it has nothing to do with performance." β
"Have a nice evening, everyone, and goodbye!"
After Lin Feng left, the managers of several funds looked at each other.
Nick pondered, "The stock buyback program ......, let's sell the stock...... guys, I have a hunch. β
Lyman was younger, and his mind turned faster, and he nodded: "Lin Feng should want to privatize Menglong at an appropriate price. β
"If that's the case, ...... Menglong's stock price continues to fall, everyone, it seems that we should really get rid of Menglong's stock, and we will make a lot of money anyway. Now that we have a popular Β£200 million bond in our hands, let's look forward to the next feast! β
"Cheers!"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Lin Feng stayed in London at The Ritz London, a landmark luxury hotel in London that was conceived and founded in 1906 by the famous hotel tycoon CΓ©sar Ritz, and has a history of nearly 100 years.
Returning to the hotel by car, in the lobby bar, Lin Feng chatted with Li Dong and Li Mengyuan again.
He will go to Kent tomorrow, and the company's executives can rest and play in London for a few days first, which can be regarded as giving them a vacation, these people are Li Dong and Wang Hao are responsible for arranging and managing, Lin Feng explained to them, the rest is free, but you must pay attention to safety.
Only then did we return to the suite on the top floor.
When he entered the door, Ye Weiyu was still sitting on the sofa with Colin in the living room, holding documents, discussing the details of the wedding, and Sun Lin and Zhao Jing were also sitting next to them with great interest to come up with ideas.
Seeing Lin Feng coming back, Ye Weiyu beckoned happily: "Lin Feng, come on, let's take a look at the wedding process with us." β
Lin Feng walked over, sat down next to her, comfortably leaned on the gorgeous sofa in the style of Louis XV in the 18th century in England, hugged Ye Weiyu's slender waist, and said with a smile: "Didn't we say that we would all listen to you at the wedding?" You're good to go! β
Ye Wei pouted: "Don't be lazy!" β¦β¦ Lin Feng, you said, we are in the chapel in the castle ceremony, or in the Canterbury Cathedral (Canterbury Cathedral), if it is in the chapel, the advantage is that it is in the castle, which is very convenient, but it is a little small and cannot accommodate too many people to watch the ceremony. In Canterbury Cathedral, the ceremony will be grand, but it is necessary to let the guests go to the church first, and then to the castle, and you need to run in two places, although the distance is not far, but you also need to arrange a vehicle. β
"Richard, Canterbury Cathedral is known as the 'Mansion of God' and the 'Gate of Heaven', the largest and most magnificent Catholic church in the world, and one of the two churches listed as a World Heritage Site in the United Kingdom. β
Canterbury Cathedral welcomes 1.2 million visitors a year, but it has struggled to survive because it has not received government funding and runs entirely on donations from tourists and worshippers, but the Grade I listed building costs more than Β£6 million a year to operate. If you are willing to give support and help to this cathedral, which is known as the "giant wheel of souls", it will be a very meaningful thing! β
"Of course, perhaps, ......, you will have the opportunity to ask His Excellency Rowan Williams, the 104th Archbishop of Canterbury, to officiate the wedding himself!"
Lin Feng nodded, and after thinking about it, of course he was not thinking about money.
You know, the Archbishop of Canterbury has the supreme religious authority in England, not only the Patriarch of the Church of England and the Patriarch of all England, but also the spiritual leader of the Anglican Communion.
If the wedding can be officiated by him, there will be huge hidden benefits, and Lin Feng's business behavior in the entire Western world may benefit from it in the future.
"If you can really ask your Excellency to officiate at the wedding, of course it would be better to ......, but Vivian and I are not religious, is that okay?"
Colin frowned, "This is indeed a big problem, and I can only promise to give it a try......." β
Lin Feng nodded: "Okay, I think the first choice is Canterbury Cathedral, Colin, you go and communicate, Vivian and I are willing to donate 10 million pounds to the church, hoping to make some contributions to the church." β
Colin nodded, "Okay, I think there should be good news." β
Lin Feng looked at Ye Weiyu and they excitedly discussed the process of the ceremony, the arrangement of the guests, the preparation of the meal, the vehicles, the bouquet, the carriage ......, and they were dizzy when they listened.
Obviously, there are professional Colin and local public relations agencies in the UK who can handle everything, but they are still happy to sort out every detail.
At this time, the mobile phone rang, and Lin Feng picked it up and saw that it was his father Lin Weidong.
got up and walked to the window to answer the phone: "Dad, well, I'm in London now, after the relatives at home arrive, you first arrange for everyone to stay in the hotel, there are too many people to live in the house, the special plane I chartered is the 10th direct flight from the capital airport to London,...... Yes, when the time comes, everyone will go directly to the airport, I will ask the secretary of the company to contact you, she will arrange for everyone to board the plane, you can rest assured here, it is all arranged. β
Walking back to the sofa, Lin Feng asked Ye Weiyu: "It's my father, the relatives at home have all arrived in the capital......, Ye Zi, over there, your grandparents are old, will it be too hard to take the plane for so long?" Why don't we go back to Jinmen and make up for it again, so don't let the old man toss? Ye Weiyu's grandparents are 80 years old, although their bodies look healthy, but after all, the years are not forgiving.
Ye Wei said bitterly: "I said the same thing, but my grandparents said that it was no problem, and they wanted to see my wedding ...... with their own eyes."
Lin Feng frowned and thought about it, and sighed: "Then let's do it!" I will charter a better private jet, just pick up a few old people, your grandparents, grandma, my mother-in-law and grandma, they are all old, and you can be more comfortable on the private jet. β
Ye Weiyu thought about it, nodded, stood up and kissed Lin Feng on tiptoe, and said with a smile: "You really have a heart, be good!" β¦β¦ The rich man let you break the bank again. β
Lin Feng touched her long hair and said with a smile: "This is as it should be, because of the affairs of our juniors, I am also a little uneasy to let the old man run around so much." Try to make them as comfortable as possible, private jets can provide special protection services, and they should be safer. Aren't we making money just to spend? Spend it on the elderly, I'm happier! β
