"Male and Female Thieves" was a big hit in North America, further deepening the friendship between Xu Cun and Alain Ryder Jr.
Therefore, when Xu Cun proposed to exchange a favor for getting the box office share of "Male and Female Thieves" in advance, Alan Ryder Jr. generously agreed.
β¦β¦
Also at the end of April.
Xu Cun sold all the shares he held, cashing out a total of 1.4 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Xu Cun has invested 600 million Hong Kong dollars in the stock market twice
In other words, Xu Cun ZΓ i made 800 million Hong Kong dollars in the stock market.
β¦β¦
Also at the end of April.
The Japanese consortium paid $100 million for the second tranche of Xu Cun's sale of the federal and international buildings.
By the way, due to the stagnation of housing prices, the Japanese consortium did not sell the federal and international buildings in time as they had expected.
β¦β¦
Also at the end of April.
Xu Cun took a contract to sell the two buildings of the Federation and the International and took out a loan of 400 million Hong Kong dollars from HSBC.
In other words, Xu Cun took the last payment from the sale of the federal and international buildings as collateral for the loan.
If you are an ordinary person, you can't get a loan at all with a contract, and even if you can borrow, it is impossible to borrow so much at once like Xu Cun.
The reason why Xu Cun can be like this is entirely because he is the world's No. 1 director.
β¦β¦
Late April.
Xu Cundong scraped together and raised a total of HK$2.5 billion in cash.
To this end, DreamWorks, including its various subsidiaries, is left with minimal liquidity.
In order to raise money, Xu Cun almost mortgaged the shares of Lishi he held.
It's a pity -
Xu Cun wasn't a gambler after all - he could never make a gamble.
β¦β¦
Xu Cun's home.
Xu Cun, He Chaoqiong, Mei Aifang and Yuan Tianfan sat opposite each other.
Yuan Tianfan looked at Xu Cun with a shocked face and said, "Mr. Xu, are you sure, you're not joking?" β
Xu Cun said slowly: "Do you think it's possible for me to joke with you about this?" β
Yuan Tianfan calmed down for a while before he said, "Mr. Xu, do you know the strength of Hongkong Land?" β
Xu Cun didn't speakβhe was waiting for Yuan Tianfan's words.
"Hongkong Land is a veteran British-funded real estate company, and its strength is also one of the five major real estate companies, with a market value of more than 10 billion. Most importantly, last year, in order to prevent the coveting of a Chinese-funded consortium, the chairman of the Jardine Matheson Group, Niu Bijian, prompted the Jardine Matheson Group to control each other with Hongkong Land, and now Hongkong Land holds 42.6% of the equity of Jardine Matheson, and Jardine Matheson holds 30% of the equity of Hongkong Land. Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land have a relationship of both prosperity and loss, and both groups are among the top groups in Hong Kong...... With all due respect, snipe them and you will be defeated. Yuan Tianfan continued.
"It's not a snipe, it's a short sell." Xu Cun corrected.
"Is there a difference?" Yuan Tianfan asked rhetorically.
"The difference is huge, and it won't be long before you know exactly how big the difference is." Xu Cun's words are chiseled.
"Mr. Xu, you have a net worth of more than 200 million, and you are only 21 years old, as long as you work hard, you will definitely become a first-class rich man in Xiangjiang before the age of 30, you really need to walk this tightrope." Yuan Tianfan persuaded.
ββ¦β¦ What if I force you to make a vacant land? After a moment of silence, Xu Cun looked at Yuan Tianfan and said.
ββ¦β¦ Mr. Xu, if you can't convince me, you just give me a commission of 10 million, and I can't help you run this matter. Yuan Tianfan was silent for a while and said.
"Give me a reason." Xu Cun said in a deep voice.
"With all due respect, neither you nor Miss Ho's current level is enough to support such a big thing as vacant land. So, if you don't have any other candidates, I'll have to take full control of this shorting. And if I am in control of this short selling, I must be aware that I am likely to miss a big opportunity due to a small loss. Yuan Tianfan was open and fair.
ββ¦β¦ If I tell you why, your personal freedom will be restricted. Xu Cun pondered for a moment and said.
"I do." Yuan Tianfan looked at Xu Cun and said.
After staring at Yuan Tianfan's determined face for a while, Xu Cuncai said, "I got two reliable news. First, the government will implement a three-tier financial system in July. Second, the government will comprehensively adjust the real estate industry in July. β
As soon as Xu Cun's words were finished, Yuan Tianfan's pupils shrank suddenly!
Yuan Tianfan's first thought was that Xu Cun was joking with him.
Then, Yuan Tianfan realized that Xu Cun would never joke at this moment!
Then, based on the news given by Xu Cun, Yuan Tianfan quickly digested these two news: "The implementation of the three-tier financial system will inevitably strengthen the control of financial companies, which in turn will lead to a sharp reduction in the short-term deposits of financial companies and accelerate the contraction of credit...... Coupled with the comprehensive adjustment of the real estate industry, the housing prices in Xiangjiang will definitely plummet! That...... The stock of the real estate company will also explode! β
After digesting the news, Yuan Tianfan said: "Mr. Xu, if the two pieces of news you give are accurate, you can indeed make vacant land." However, I think you have better options, such as Jianian and Jianing. The carnival is already in its waning days, but it is still making great strides in the real estate industry, and I guess it will be difficult for it to survive this time. Although Jianing's market value is nearly 4 billion, it is developing too fast, the company's debt ratio is too high, and it may not be able to survive such a big crisis. Sniping them is much easier and less risky than sniping Land. β
"I don't care to do things like boiling beans -- I don't want any Chinese-funded group to be ruined in my hands, and I am at ease when I snipe at a British-funded group, because anyway, the money of the British-funded group is the proceeds of exploiting my Greater China." Xu Cun said in a high-sounding voice.
The reason why Xu Cun chose Hongkong Land as his target was of course not the reason he told Yuan Tianfan.
The real reason is that Xu Cun knows that China G will announce the resumption of Xiangjiang next year -- as soon as this news comes out, the shares of the British-funded group will definitely fall sharply! In addition, Jia Nian and Jianing are too thin, they can't satisfy Xu Cun's terrifying ambition at all!
