King of Capital

Chapter 67 Above the Flying Clouds
The warm touch spread from the body to the soul, making the body lie back comfortably, with long flowing hair flying, and the female knight leaned over with a blushing face.

Xie Jingxing stretched out his hand but touched nothing. He opened his eyes and heard the low humming sound of the engine in the background. He then remembered that he was on his way back to China and what he was lingering on in his dream was yesterday.

He turned on the light and was in a daze for a while, then got out of bed, put on some clothes and walked out of the bedroom. Yan Wenhua was playing cards with Peng Zhijian and several members of the M&A team. The accompanying medical staff put down the journals and magazines in their hands and stood up.

Xie Jing Xing waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, walked through the two meeting cabins, and went to the small bar in the restaurant to pour a glass of ice water.

Su He and Liu Qiming were also there, and they were discussing Taihe Capital's working model and investment strategy.

He listened silently for a while until his mind was completely clear, then he said while holding the water cup: "This plane can be used as a company benefit in the future."

"It's a bit extravagant." Su He commented reservedly.

Liu Qiming laughed and said, "This plane is a company benefit in Yunshan. It's just right for Mr. Xie to take over Taihe. After all, we fly back and forth every day for investment."

"It's not very practical. You can consider buying a small business jet for business trips." Xie Jingxing didn't just say nice things.

This private jet is considered to be the first batch of Airbus A330s introduced into China before and after the financial crisis. It is sold at a market price of to million yuan, and the modification cost hundreds of millions more. Mr. Xie was completely fooled. The mainstream aesthetic of grassroots industrialists is that the bigger the better!
Who in their right mind would use a large, wide-body, ultra-long-range air bus that can carry two or three hundred passengers and fly directly from any city in China to any city in North America as a private plane?

A standard-sized master bedroom with a bathtub, two lounge areas plus a dining room, and even a mini bar and audio-visual room. The flight attendants can also rest on two single beds.

Occasionally, you can use this thing to deal with emergencies, or to host an aerial party while traveling. Flying back and forth on business trips can be exhausting, as you are always avoiding flight routes and waiting for runways.

“To be honest, I don’t care about benefits.”

Su He looked at Xie Jingxing and the other person and decided to have a frank chat: "I pay more attention to the future of the platform."

"You can choose between Taihe and Grapefruit." Xie Jingxing gave two solutions.

Su He pursed his lips and shook his head slightly: "Will you do mergers and acquisitions in the future?"

"I can only say that there may be opportunities to do M&A related business." Xie Jingxing replied frankly.

First of all, Taihe is his family office. The largest investor and actual control of Taihe Capital, which is worth more than one billion US dollars, are firmly in the hands of the Xie family, and only about 20% of the shares are scattered among relatives and friends.

This means that Taihe is essentially just playing with the Xie family's money. Secondly, there is no need to say more about Grapefruit Capital. It is a typical asset management company comparable to Sequoia and DIG, which invests other people's money.

No matter how you plan your route, it is impossible to deviate to the investment banking business. There is no reason for you to do the job of a waiter when you can be a financial sponsor. This is a simple truth that Su He will understand.

Xie Jing Xing thought about it and tried to test it: "Just tell me what you want."

"Tang Man." Su He gave the answer concisely.

"Anything else?"

Xie Jingxing glanced at Liu Qiming who was sitting next to him and decided to give her some face. What kind of grudge did she have with Tang Man? Neither Zhou Fenglan nor Yu Tong had made things so awkward.

"I join Taihe." Su He's face turned slightly red.

Xie Jingxing said without comment: "If there is nothing else, you can talk to Mr. Liu in detail and come as soon as possible. I will talk to Juntai after he returns to China."

"Okay, Mr. Xie."

Su He paid great attention to details and responded promptly. He stood up and said goodbye quickly, suppressing his guilty conscience.

In fact, when Xie Jingxing was hospitalized a few days ago, Liu Qiming threw out an olive branch and hinted that she had even thought about how to decorate the new office at that time. Today's negotiation was completely reserved to show principle - she didn't care about the life-saving grace, everyone should do business impartially!

There is no way. Mr. Xie, who is in his early twenties and is the operator of China's largest cross-border M&A case, is indeed a bit dazzling. As for the so-called development prospects, he himself is one of the brightest beacons on the road to a financial career.

As Su He, who had worked hand in hand with him and experienced the entire merger and acquisition process personally, he now felt inexplicably dependent on him. The more this happened, the more he feared being gossiped about.

"If you don't give her face, she will regret it to death."

Watching Su He leave, Liu Qiming leaned half of his body on the bar and spoke with a smile in a low voice.

Xie Jingxing couldn't help but hold up his water cup to hide his smile: "When it comes to employing people, even if I can't be Li Shimin, I have to try my best to learn from Cao Cao."

"You are modest. If you compare yourself to an ancient monarch, you really are... uh, you have the spirit of a great hero like Cao Cao."

The moment Liu Qiming blurted out the flattery, he realized something was wrong and turned away with an embarrassed smile. Thinking about it carefully, he realized that Master Jing's background was indeed somewhat similar to Li Er's.

Xie Jingxing didn't take it seriously and said, "After returning to China, clean up the internal personnel of Taihe and prepare for the handover of work."

"Don't worry, I will complete the task." Liu Qiming is very servile. He used to serve Master Jing, but now he obeys President Xie. His nature has changed.

"Hurry up and don't be soft-hearted. There's a big project coming up. If Taihe hasn't been cleaned up by the time I get home and finish talking to Old Xie, I'll clean you up."

Xie Jing Xing handed him a sword of imperial power, and then changed the subject: "How is the situation of Grapefruit Capital?"

"We hired a front desk administrator and a legal officer, transferred a finance officer directly from Taihe, and a securities investment manager poached from the proprietary department of China Construction Investment." Liu Qiming answered fluently.

Xie Jingxing nodded in agreement and said, "Show him the operation strategy. If there is no problem, I will start the operation after I go to Juntai."

The previously formulated fund allocation method remains unchanged. Grapefruit Capital takes out 200 million of the 300 million yuan in funds on its books, uses Yu Tong's relationship to leverage the trust, and then uses Juntai Asset Management's financing channel to turn it into 800 million yuan.

As far as he could remember, the main board of the Shanghai Stock Exchange was weak this year, and the main trend was the small-cap stocks on the ChiNext.

Eight hundred million yuan of funds is too much for small-cap stocks. If all of it is bet on a single bull stock, the market will collapse directly. No player will be kind enough to play with him like this.

So Xie Jingxing was lying on the hospital bed with nothing to do, so he picked up the skills he had learned from working in the secondary market in his previous life and formulated a complete set of operating strategies:
GEM + the hottest gaming concept at the moment, just as the share price of Shanda Games soared after it acquired the mobile game "Da Zhangmen" at a sky-high price, another listed game company, Zhongqingbao, will announce in a few days that it will spend huge sums of money to acquire two mobile game companies, "Pengcheng Sumo" and "Modu Meifeng".

Xie Jingxing remembered that this check was called "Ten Times in Nine Months", which means that the increase in nine months was ten times the historical lowest point.

The second one is Shanghai Steel Union. The name sounds like it is related to steel, but in fact its main business is supported by steel trade data and information, e-commerce + mobile communications + the Shanghai Free Trade Zone concept which will be established at the end of next month.

The combination of various popular concepts made the stock take off, and the net profit loss in the third quarter financial report could not stop the stock price from rising wildly. It inexplicably became one of the few monster stocks in 2013.

Xie Jingxing remembered that this stock seemed to have risen more than three times. He selected five or six stocks with high growth rates like this, formulated a plan and handed it over to the investment manager to be responsible for controlling the general investment strategy, and handed over the specific operational details to the traders of Juntai Asset Management.

It is now the beginning of August, and the expected net return rate is 100% by the end of the year, % of million, this return rate expectation...

"Let's do this first, and adjust it based on the specific situation later." Xie Jingxing said hesitantly, not quite sure what to do.

Liu Qiming grinned and tried to make amends, "Actually, you don't have to be too stressed. This business is different from our primary market investment. As the old saying goes, the last one standing in securities investment wins. We can take it slow."

"I know, you go first." Xie Jingxing couldn't explain and had to just answer casually.

The core logic of the stock market, or A-shares, is unparalleled in the world. Major shareholders stand at the top of the food chain and eat public and private equity funds. Public and private equity funds eat the so-called big individual investors and hot money. Big individual investors and hot money eat small individual investors, and hot money eats shit.

Even if Xie Jingxing was a hacker and knew that the investment strategy he formulated could theoretically have a return rate of up to three to five times, he was unable to break this food chain and could only set the rate of return at double.

Liu Qiming's persuasion has another level of logic. Many domestic public and private equity funds have been lucky enough to invest heavily in a bull stock and double their returns in the same year, but it is rare to maintain a 20% return for many years.

He thought that his eldest son was in the advanced stage of cancer and wanted to do everything to the best of his ability, so he got a 100% return rate right from the start.

After sending Liu Qiming away, Xie Jingxing drank the ice water in the glass, looked at the Macallan whiskey on the small bar, hesitated for a few seconds, and licked his lips.

Finally, he obediently followed the doctor's advice and poured himself another glass of water. He looked out the window at the white clouds and sighed with regret.

The A-share market will rarely be turbulent in the next two years. He actually wants to personally participate in the field he is best at with the help of the golden finger, but unfortunately the secondary market is too superficial.

The god-level trader with a net worth of tens of billions in the eyes of ordinary stock investors is actually just a wild dog with better hunting skills; the industrialist with a net worth of tens of billions who has always been low-key and unknown is the Buddha dragon elephant entrenched in a place.

If you want to become a dragon or elephant among the Buddhas, you must first be a cow or a horse.

Old Xie spent the first thirty years of his life walking the path of the masses. Xie Jingxing was fortunate to stand on his father's shoulders and stand above the clouds. There was no reason for him to look back and become a stray dog ​​on the roadside or a weed in the field. After all, the stock market could only be a side job to make a little money.

There is also a large bed that can sleep five people. Not only can you stand on the flying clouds, but you can also lie down. The edge of the sky is within reach.

Ten thousand meters above the ground, even the sun could not make him bow his head.

So Xie Jingxing, who had a good rest along the way, returned to the Magic City after more than half a month. He ignored the doctor's advice and declined the physical examination and went straight to the headquarters of Juntai Securities.

He made an appointment to meet Tang Man. Since Su He acted like he had to choose between her and him, the former could only go to Grapefruit Capital and start from scratch.

And this old lady had never worked with him before, so how to recruit her was still a headache.

"Su He is now the undisputed 'M&A Queen' in China. What about you?"

Xie Jingxing, who was full of bad intentions, said this as soon as he sat down in Tang Man's office.
