Age of Dreams

Monday, March 12th.

There was no time to go out in the morning, so my dad, Xiao Qi, had to have lunch at noon before going down the mountain to Central in the city center.

Originally, Xiao Qi came to Hong Kong for nothing else, but Moqiyev knew that Xiao Qi was coming, and rushed back from the East specifically to settle an account with Xiao Qi.

The headquarters of Citibank in Hong Kong is the Putton Building in Central, which occupies a full five floors. However, compared to owning a building alone in previous years, Citibank is already a lot frugal.

There is no other reason. Hong Kong's housing prices are too expensive. In the past two years, the economy has been sluggish. Citibank could only move out of the original building and re-purchase a five-story building.

And since 10 years ago, Citibank has implemented a dual mechanism in Asia, that is, two headquarters systems.

They retained their Southeast Asian operations in Hong Kong and moved their operations in East Asia, China, Japan, and South Korea to their second headquarters—the East.

In terms of human resources and various expenses in the East, they are much cheaper than those in Hong Kong. Even the headquarters of Citibank in the East is as high as 20 floors, and the cost is only the same as buying a five-story building here.

But then again, the financial markets in Southeast Asia are very useful to Citibank. After all, the financial markets there are not perfect and there are many opportunities to make money.

Moqiyev was originally from the Hong Kong branch, and he is no stranger to Hong Kong.

It was his beautiful secretary Santi who stood downstairs to greet Xiao Qi.

It's not that he doesn't want to come down to pick up Xiao Qi, it's that his goals are too big when he appears, and maybe many gossip reporters will notice Xiao Qi-in Central, Hong Kong, gossip reporters are everywhere, and the stars are on the 38th floor It can be photographed in the small tea room. Not to mention Puton Building, a place where the world's top 500 companies gather.

Compared with the last time I met, Santi treats Xiao Qi a hundred times more respectfully. When accompanied by Xiao Qi on the elevator, Santi glanced at the young man in front of him and couldn't help regretting it.

It would be great if I had tried desperately before. Sticking up the life and death, at any rate, can become the woman the world's richest man has ever had. This is a wonderful moment worth remembering in my life.

Only looking back now, Santi couldn't believe it, in just two years. Xiao Qi went from a fledgling young entrepreneur to the world's richest man, unmatched.

Assets of more than 500 billion U.S. dollars, piled together are taller than a building!

The elevator stopped on the office floor of Citigroup. As soon as Xiao Qi entered, he saw Mochiyev with a smile on his face.

"Qi Shao, my old friend, I'm so happy to meet you!" Moqiyev gave Xiao Qi a warm hug. Then Sushou invited Xiao Qi into his office.

From Mochiyev’s luxurious office, Xiao Qi can see the beautiful Victoria Bay. Most of the high-rise buildings on the Central side have this beautiful sea view, which is one of the reasons why the office buildings here are very expensive.

"Little Qi, you have hurt me this time!"

Bringing a cup of milk tea to Xiao Qi, Moqiyev said with a smile.

Xiao Qi thanked him and picked up the milk tea. "Don't be kidding, Mo Qi, shouldn't your board of directors thank you for introducing such a lucrative business to customers? By the way, you have earned a lot of commissions?"

Moqiyev laughed blankly, "Making money is one aspect, but we have provoked a lot of hatred! Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch are very dissatisfied with us."

He said that, but he didn't mean to complain at all.

The dumb riddle between the two people here is actually talking about a business in April last year.

In April last year, Mochiyev, who had just been promoted to the head of Citibank Asia. Want some performance to support the appearance, I asked Xiao Qi to purchase a batch of bond credit default swap insurance, among which Lehman Brothers is 4 billion U.S. dollars, Merrill Lynch is 2.5 billion U.S. dollars, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs each 15 Billion dollars.

For these bonds credit default swap insurance. Xiao Qi paid a total of 1.6 billion US dollars in insurance expenses in 10 months.

At that time, everyone knew that these investment banks and banks were very dangerous, but Xiao Qi was the only one who lost such a large sum of money.

Now it seems that Xiao Qi has really made a profit!

Although Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs got through the difficult times and the money Xiao Qi invested in them was wasted, but the collapse of Lehman Brothers paid Xiao Qi a full US$8 billion, Merrill Lynch, which was merged by Bank of America. Also lost 4 billion US dollars to Xiao Qi.

This amount is far more rewarding than what was promised before!

Investing 1.6 billion U.S. dollars, I got a full 12 billion U.S. dollars. Even if taxes were excluded, Xiao Qi's net profit exceeded 9 billion U.S. dollars.

However, because Lehman would need to be liquidated after its bankruptcy, the funds were not paid until early March. This is because Citibank has part of the assets of Lehman Brothers, and Xiao Qi, who is closely related to Citibank, is naturally Received priority care and took the lead in obtaining the funds sold from this asset.

Although Lehman Brothers is still in bankruptcy protection, and although there are regulatory agencies, for Citibank, everything is not a problem. It is just a matter of time. Why not pay a little earlier? It's not their money anyway!

Compared with the poor Lehman Brothers, Bank of America, which has taken Merrill Lynch, is much more generous. After two months of preparations, they directly gave 2.5 billion US dollars in cash, which also went to Citibank for custody earlier. Inside the account.

It's just that Xiao Qi still has to pay taxes. Although there are elite lawyers from Mario Law Firm who help reduce and exempt various taxes, Xiao Qi only received $10.5 billion.

Ok.

The sentence "only got 10.5 billion US dollars" is really a bit of a fight.

In fact, Li Xiaochao, the eighth richest man in Hong Kong, has a net worth of 10.6 billion U.S. dollars. In other words, with such an investment, Xiao Qi can become the ninth richest man in Hong Kong with a profit.

In the mainland, except for Xiao Qi's wives, the assets of 10.5 billion US dollars can be ranked in the top three on the bright side!

The origin of this money is now widely circulated in the world.

But most of the people still admire Xiao Qi's good luck.

Because as early as last year, everyone knew that Citibank forced a batch of bond credit default swap insurance to Xiao Qi. Because of the good cooperative relationship with Citibank, Xiao Qicai accepted and paid a full 1.6 billion US dollars for it. .

But who would know that the Lehman Brothers, which managed more than 800 billion US dollars of assets, would fail? Who knew that Merrill Lynch, which has more than 600 billion US dollars in assets, would be merged?

At best, I think they will be in trouble!

Therefore, no one does not have as much bond credit default swap insurance purchased by Xiao Qi, so no one does not earn as much as Xiao Qi in the end.

have to say.

Xiao Qi has consciously promoted this matter since last year, and the effect has been quite good.

The media only admired Xiao Qi's good fortune, and even the US regulators didn't have the intention to hold Xiao Qi accountable. The money was only used to pay taxes, so it was legal and reasonable to belong to Xiao Qi.

The cash in his hand is more than 160 billion U.S. dollars. The meaning of money to Xiao Qi is completely meaningless. Therefore, after chatting with Moqiyev and signing the fund receiving and transfer agreement, the 10.5 billion U.S. dollars entered Xiao Qi’s personal account at Hong Kong Fairy Bank.

Since Xiao Qi set up the Fairy Bank himself, he has placed less money in Citibank.

After all, compared to the century-old Citibank, Fairy Bank needs a strong reserve of funds to give the public confidence. Only in this way will everyone be assured of handing over the money to you, or using your banking service functions.

Compared with the supervision of the mainland banking industry, Hong Kong banks follow the British model and are not so strict in terms of capital control. A lot of Xiao Qi's cash is placed in the Hong Kong Fairy Bank to facilitate his various acquisitions and uses.

Of course, the teenager has at least 80 billion US dollars in the country's foreign exchange reserve bureau, but he has not changed into RMB because he has enough RMB liquidity in his hand.

The three companies, Xiaoyao Mall, Xiaoyao Logistics and Xiaoyao Express, have already begun to make profits. Relative to their investment quota, although they are not many, they have great development potential. It is easy to make two or three billion a month. loose.

Fairy Real Estate has also entered a harvest period. Every month, when the Shangri-La community opens, a large amount of funds can be returned. The Rongcheng branch also has some small profits.

The sales of the most important fairy companies DreamPad, DreamStars, and some options in the Mainland are also settled in RMB.

Therefore, Xiao Qi no longer needs to transfer the US$10.5 billion to China.

And Xiao Qi still has some money to use now.

Among the young wives, UU reads www.uukanshu. com's most assets are of course Huangfucai and Tang Mingxiang, both of whom have private property worth over 30 billion U.S. dollars.

Most of the rest of the wives are around 5-10 billion US dollars.

The least is naturally Jia Yuwen. Here, Xiao Qi is going to buy two batches of aircraft for her Qiwen Aviation, as well as capital injection in the airport, purchase of equipment, etc., which requires about 2 billion US dollars.

In addition, the young man is going to eat Mi Jiayan, Huo Zhuzhu and Yang Na recently.

They are all so familiar, if they don't eat them, it would be too hypocritical, and the beauties, big and small, will murmur and irritate in their hearts, so acting as soon as possible is the best way.

When they become their own women, they must also buy some private property for them.

Even if the average wife’s private property is about 5 billion US dollars, and careful calculations, 10.5 billion US dollars is far from enough! (To be continued.
