Hong Kong.

Li Yunhai hugged little An'an and kissed him again and again on his chubby little face.

He didn't dare to use too much force and just touched the child's face lightly.

Little An'an is half a year old, and her hands are very strong, waving constantly, and sometimes scratching Li Yunhai's face.

Guo Wanhua watched them playing and having fun with a sweet smile on her face.

"Yunhai, I heard that the U.S. stock market has been falling." Guo Wanhua said, "Didn't you buy a lot of stocks there? Do you want to sell them?"

Li Yunhai said: "If you don't sell, I will buy it! I will wait for their stock market to crash and then buy in large quantities."

"Their stock market has collapsed, and you still want to buy?"

"This is called bargain hunting. How about the Hang Seng Index?"

"The Hang Seng Index has been rising, reaching more than 2900 points."

“It’s still going to rise, and it’s just around the corner to break through the [-] mark.”

"After the merger of the four exchanges, the Hang Seng Index has never fallen. It is a good time for our company to go public."

Li Yunhai thought to himself, in half a year, you will know what it means to fall!

He also stopped talking about this matter, because it was meaningless and would only increase worries.

This global stock market crash has actually already begun.

The decline in the U.S. stock market mentioned by Guo Wanhua is a sign.

Since the 80s, U.S. economic growth has slowed severely. The economic growth in 1985 and 1986 was only 2.8% and 2.5%. At the same time, consumption grew at an annual rate of 4%, and residents' residential fixed investment increased by 10% annually.Economic growth cannot keep up with the rise in consumption and prices, and it cannot keep up with the growth in real estate investment.

In addition, federal government spending has also been rising, with annual growth of 7%, while state and local government spending has also increased by as much as 4% annually.In other words, the economic growth of the United States is mainly driven by debt and government spending. On the surface, the prosperity of the stock market is actually due to the injection of paper prosperity.Unsatisfactory economic data disappointed the market, and worries about the depreciation of the dollar made people worry about the arrival of inflation.

In this case, the United States can only raise interest rates to support the price of the dollar.

As a result, when interest rates rose, the stock market plummeted.

Li Yunhai understood this, but was not worried.

He bought high-quality stocks and planned to hold them for a long time. He did not think about making profits by short-term cashing out.

Therefore, he doesn't care about the temporary rise or fall of the stock market.

Li Yunhai and Guo Wanhua have been spreading news in Hong Kong and mainland media to promote Sihai Group's listing in Hong Kong.

At the just-concluded Hannover Electronics Fair, Sihai Group performed well, allowing the world to see the hope of mainland technology companies entering overseas markets.

After the Longteng PC was launched in Xiangjiang, it was welcomed and loved by consumers. More than 3000 computers were sold in a short period of time, and orders for 5000 computers were also received.

The ability to achieve such good results in Xiangjiang is related to Li Yunhai's strategy.Longteng PC has been labeled as a Hong Kong product since its birth.

The global headquarters of Sihai Group is also located in Xiangjiang, and its upcoming listing in Xiangjiang has brought strong confidence to local consumers.

In addition, in order to monopolize the PC market, IBM decided to launch the P/S series of PCs. In the same year, IBM released the first version of the multi-tasking operating system OS/2. They formulated their own standards and excluded all compatible machines.

In 1987, IBM released the Model 80 computer, which was equipped with the latest 80386 20MHz CPU, 2MB memory and 115MB hard drive. The sale price was US$10995.And it doesn’t include the operating system. After you buy the computer, you have to spend an additional $120 to buy the system software.

Compaq's compatible machine with similar configuration only costs $6499.

Computers from Sihai Group only cost $3999.

How do consumers choose?

Because IBM has always had the say in the PC industry, sales of new models were pretty good when they were first launched. However, as competing products continued to emerge, the advantages of IBM computers disappeared.

An era belonging to IBM will also begin to slowly come to an end.

Li Yunhai's Longteng PC was launched at this time, just in time for a good time.

Many small and medium-sized enterprises or individuals in Xiangjiang choose to buy Longteng PC.

Against this background, Li Yunhai believes that Sihai Group's listing in Hong Kong is the best opportunity.

As for the upcoming major stock market crash, he doesn't worry about it. As long as the company is doing well, the rise and fall of the stock market will have little impact. It is just a change in market value.

The preparation work before listing was all completed by Guo Wanhua.

During the IPO period, banks, exchanges, securities companies and other partners were very optimistic about Sihai Group's listing.

Xiangjiang's listing process is relatively simpler and faster.

By now, the necessary approvals and arrangements have been completed and Sihai Group can issue shares and start trading.

Li Yunhai set the company’s listing date on April 4.

That night, Li Yunhai called Lin Zhi.

"Ling Zhi, are you sure you don't want to come to Xiangjiang to ring the bell? This is a rare honor!"

"I want to, too! But it's too late for me to rush over now. You and Sister Guo ring the bell together, and remember to take a photo to show me."

"it is good."

In order to ensure his control over Sihai Group, Li Yunhai will retain 9000 million shares, which is 45% of all stocks. Together with the stocks in Guo Wanhua's hands, the two of them can add up to 51%.

No matter how the stock market changes, Li Yunhai can firmly control the company.

After this calculation, the actual number of shares in circulation is less than [-] million shares.

Li Yunhai put down the phone, came to Guo Wanhua's house, and said, "Sister Guo, I always feel that tomorrow's listing may not go so smoothly. Should we go visit Mo Yingji?"

Guo Wanhua was coaxing her child to sleep and said with a smile: "Don't worry so much. What could happen? Mr. Mo and I have already reached an agreement. Although he is retired, he still has a certain status in the Stock Exchange. Many Everyone is his old subordinates and they also listen to his words. Otherwise, how could our company go public so quickly?"

Li Yunhai insisted: "I haven't met Mo Yingji yet, I want to meet him."

Guo Wanhua thought for a while and said, "Okay, then I will take you to see him."

The two came to the living room, and Guo Wanhua called Mo Yingji first.

After the call, she said to Li Yunhai: "Mr. Mo is at home. He said he also wants to see you. Let's go there now."

Li Yunhai nodded.

The two drove to a villa halfway up Victoria Peak.

This is a three-story foreign-style building covering an area of ​​more than three acres. Just looking at the outer decoration, it doesn't look very luxurious.

As soon as their car arrived, a servant came over and opened the courtyard door.

Guo Wanhua parked the car and went to the living room under the guidance of the servant.

The decoration inside the house is also very ordinary. It can be seen that the owner of the house is a frugal person.

There were three people sitting in a huge living room.

One of the old men was in his 60s. He was thin and not tall. He was no different from an ordinary little old man. He had a gray beard, which gave him a somewhat distinctive temperament.

This person is Mo Yingji.

Sitting next to him were two young men, a man and a woman.

The man has a crew cut and is slightly fat.

The woman had two ponytails and had a baby face.

As soon as Guo Wanhua and the others entered the door, the old man stood up to greet him: "This must be Mr. Li from Sihai Group? I have long admired his name! Nice to meet you!"

Li Yunhai quickly took two steps forward, held Mo Yingji's hand, and said with a smile: "Mr. Mo, I have been busy and didn't come to visit you until today. No wonder."

Mo Yingji asked them to sit down and said, "Sihai Group will go public tomorrow. What do you think the closing price will be?"

He didn't say a polite word and went straight to the point.Li Yunhai pondered for a moment and said, "I'm afraid my hair will break."

Breaking is a stock market term. New stock breaking refers to the phenomenon that the price of shares issued by a newly listed company is lower than its issuance price for a period of time after listing.For investors, a new share price break is usually seen as a negative signal because it indicates that investors are unable to make a profit by buying new shares.

Li Yunhai said this, which means he doesn't have much confidence in tomorrow's listing.

Guo Wanhua was quite surprised and said: "Yunhai, how can you say such a thing? I am confident that it will definitely rise."

Li Yunhai waved his hand towards her, signaling her not to interrupt yet, and then said seriously: "Mr. Mo, I came here today specifically to ask for help!"

Mo Yingji's small eyes flashed, and he showed an enigmatic smile: "Mr. Li, why do you say this? Don't you have confidence in Xiangjiang's stock market?"

Li Yunhai said: "I have great confidence in Xiangjiang's stock market. But I have no confidence in Li Wanfu."

Mo Yingji said: "At the voting meeting, he also voted in favor. Don't worry too much! Although Li Wanfu has a villainous heart, he can still handle the overall situation clearly."

Li Yunhai said: "Mr. Mo, I have dealt with Li Wanfu several times and have a certain understanding of this person's character. You are the benefactor of our company's listing. Although it is the first time for you and I to meet, I have already known him. You regard me as the most respected senior. So I will only say one thing in front of you."

Mo Yingji smiled slightly and said: "That's great, I fell in love with you at first sight! I don't know how to read faces, but I can read stocks! I only need to analyze a company, and I will know who is managing the company. Looks like that. Do you believe it?"

Li Yunhai said: "I believe that a person's talent, knowledge and experience will be revealed in business management."

Mo Yingji said: "Yes, what kind of people can manage what kind of company. If you can bring out a company like Sihai Group, I believe that your mind, magnanimity, knowledge, and abilities are all first-rate! Xiao Guo and Let me tell you, when you were less than 21 years old, I was deeply surprised! I thought that such a company must be at least a middle-aged person over 40 years old to run it. You make me sit up and take notice!"

Li Yunhai said: "Thank you, Mr. Mo, for your compliment."

Mo Yingji said: "Then continue talking about Li Wanfu!"

Li Yunhai said: "Li Wanfu is a villain. This is my definition of him. Since he is a villain, he cannot do without the characteristics of a villain. He has a despicable personality, sows discord, and causes trouble over nothing!"

The young woman suddenly burst into laughter.

Mo Yingji glanced at the woman, who quickly covered her mouth and Hu Lu laughed.

Li Yunhai said: "On the surface, Li Wanfu agreed to let Sihai Group enter the market, maybe he had ulterior motives. I didn't give him face at the beginning, and he couldn't give me face. With his ability, he couldn't refuse Sihai Group's listing, but with his Your personality will definitely deteriorate tomorrow!"

Mo Yingji said: "In your opinion, what bad tricks can he use?"

Li Yunhai said: "I'm rarely in Xiangjiang and rarely have contact with him. I really can't guess what kind of bad tricks he used. But I predict that he will not let Sihai Group go public so smoothly. So, I came here specifically to ask Mr. Mo for advice tonight. We have no one else to rely on in Xiangjiang, so we can only ask Mr. Mo to help us."

Guo Wanhua's face became serious when she saw that he described the situation so seriously.

Mo Yingji said: "Mr. Li, since we don't know what the other party will do, what should we do? I believe you have a clue, right?"

Li Yunhai said: "I can only cope with all changes by remaining unchanged."

Mo Yingji slowly shook his head and said, "That's wrong. If you are walking on a certain place and there is a vicious dog blocking your way, you know that if you take a step forward, it will definitely bite you, but you have to go there. , what are you going to do?”

Li Yunhai was shocked and said in a deep voice: "Then we can only kill it!"

Mo Yingji stroked his beard gently and said with a smile: "Look, don't you know a lot about it?"

Li Yunhai smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Mo, I wish I had a dog-beating stick. The problem is that I don't have the capital to kill it."

Mo Yingji said: "You said he is a villain, there must be a reason, right?"

Li Yunhai said: "Yes, when we first approached him to discuss listing, he asked for 10% of the shares, but I didn't give it, and then he took revenge on us. I thought this person was a villain."

Mo Yingji said: "Mr. Li, all I can say to you is that you just go public tomorrow. No matter how powerful Li Wanfu is, he can't turn the world upside down! As for whether he will resort to damaging measures, we can just show him how to deal with them when the time comes. ”

Li Yunhai came here because of the reputation, but he was a little disappointed because he didn't get any praise for beating the dog.

Mo Yingji stopped talking about the matter and instead introduced the two people around him to Li Yunhai.

These two young men are both the grandchildren of Mo Yingji. The boy is named Mo Fenghui and the girl is named Mo Yingying.

Li Yunhai greeted the two of them.

Mo Yingji waved his hand and said: "Mr. Li, it's late at night. You should go back and rest early. Tomorrow is a good day. You believe your stocks will rise sharply! I want to buy your stocks!"

Li Yunhai and Guo Wanhua said goodbye and left.

Guo Wanhua asked: "Yunhai, are you really worried that Li Wanfu is up to something?"

Li Yunhai rubbed his face and said: "Never mind! Mr. Mo is right, just show off the attack! If there is really a vicious dog blocking the way, then you can only kill it!"

That night, Li Yunhai thought a lot and didn't fall asleep until midnight.

April 4nd is Thursday.

Li Yunhai and Guo Wanhua led some senior executives of Xiangjiang Sihai Group to the Stock Exchange.

They will ring the bell at 9:[-] a.m. to go on sale.

Ringing the bell is a ceremony, just like the opening ceremony of a company.

But for Li Yunhai, this is the first time in his previous life that he has participated in ringing the bell!
Perhaps because of his mentality, Li Yunhai was not too excited.

Guo Wanhua is also a well-informed person. The Chen family used to own several listed companies.So he acted very calmly.

In the Stock Exchange, Li Yunhai met Li Wanfu.

Li Wanfu was like a smiling tiger, laughing and shaking hands with Li Yunhai.

"Congratulations to Mr. Li, Sihai Group is officially listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange! I hope you can hit the ground running! But don't let your shares break on the first day! Hahaha!"

Li Yunhai looked at the smiling person in front of him. It was too much to even maintain the superficial harmony, and said sarcastically: "Mr. Li Wanfu! Without your support, we would not have been able to go public so quickly. Thank you so much." You! If you hadn’t given in, I wouldn’t have been able to acquire Huaren Industrial. Without Huaren Industrial, I wouldn’t have been able to go public.”

He was poking Li Wanfu's scars.

The stock market battle that Li Wanfu regretted most in his life was losing Huaren Industrial to Li Yunhai last year.

This incident has also become a joke in the Hong Kong stock market circle.

Even now, when someone mentions it, Li Wanfu still itch with hatred.

Li Wanfu said with a straight face, like bacon skin: "I am also happy to see Sihai Group go public! I also hope that your market value will increase and bring fresh blood to our Stock Exchange! Stock Exchange Whether the total market value can exceed 5000 billion depends on your Sihai Group."

Li Yunhai has learned that the current total market value of the Stock Exchange is still more than 5000 billion short of 400 billion.

Can Sihai Group achieve this value?It's difficult in a short time.

Li Yunhai said: "It depends on whether the Hang Seng Index can break through 3000 points. This requires the efforts of Mr. Li Wanfu. Our company has only issued 2 million shares, and no matter how high the market value is, it cannot reach more than 400 billion! But Li Wanfu Mr. Wanfu, if you have a few more companies like Huaren Industrial under your name, and recruit a few more backdoor listing companies, you will definitely be able to easily exceed 5000 billion!"

His gentle words revealed Li Wanfu's scar again.

Li Wanfu gritted his teeth, snorted coldly, glanced at Guo Wanhua, and said: "Mr. Guo, you are very powerful. You actually found that old fox Mo Yingji to endorse you. But I don't know what price you paid for this. What? Hahaha! Mo Yingji is so old, I’m afraid he can’t do it anymore, right?”

Both Li Yunhai and Guo Wanhua's expressions changed!
What Li Wanfu said was Chi Guoguo's attempt to slander the reputations of Guo Wanhua and Mo Yingji!
This guy spoke very loudly, as if he was afraid that the surrounding media reporters wouldn't hear him.

Sihai Group went public today. It is a mainland joint venture. It is listed in Hong Kong for the first time. Of course, it attracted many reporters.

These reporters are all people who like gossip news. They usually stir up waves even if nothing happens. After hearing Li Wanfu's words, they all became interested and gathered around, wanting to hear Li Wanfu continue to make gossips.

A male reporter asked: "Mr. Li Wanfu, do you know the inside story? What does Sihai Group's listing in Hong Kong have to do with Mo Yingji?"

A female reporter asked loudly: "Mr. Guo, what is the deal between you and Mo Yingji?"

Guo Wanhua's pretty face was frosty, and she said in a deep voice: "Don't listen to his nonsense! Xiangjiang is a society governed by the rule of law! I can sue him for defamation for things that are unsubstantiated and undocumented!"

Before Li Yunhai came, he had a premonition that it would not be so easy to go public today, but he did not expect that Li Wanfu would really take action!

If reporters write random reports and say that Sihai Group was listed on the market because of some improper transactions done by Guo Wanhua and Mo Yingji, then the stock price will definitely fall!
Even if Guo Wanhua can come clean through safeguarding her rights, she will still have to file a lawsuit, at least in a month or two. By that time, Sihai Group's stock price will probably have reached its lowest point.

What a sinister intention!

Powerful people often only need one sentence to put someone in a desperate situation.

　Third, ask for a monthly ticket.
