Knock~knock~knock

"Come in!"

When the voice of grandfather's promise came from inside, Zhuang Ziqing who was outside the door gently pushed open the door of the study and walked in.

"Grandpa, are you looking for me?"

Mr. Zhuang was lying on his leisure chair, and there was a radio on the table next to him, which was playing his favorite Beijing opera. When he saw his precious granddaughter coming in, he nodded his head, "Come, sit here!"

After he finished speaking, he reached out to turn down the volume of the radio, but he didn't intend to turn it off.

Ever since she got married, Zhuang Ziqing had been living in the villa in the middle of the lake where she and Yang Huan lived, and she only came back occasionally on weekdays. Today, her mother called her early in the morning, saying that her grandfather was looking for her and asked her to go home for dinner, so she came back.

Father Zhuang Mingyang has a high position and authority, he is very busy with work and has no time to come back, while his younger brother Zhuang Zicheng is in Shenzhen, so Zhuang Ziqing came to the study after having dinner with his mother and grandparents and tidying up.

As soon as she sat down, Mr. Zhuang spoke.

"You know about A Huan, right?"

Zhuang Ziqing had guessed it a long time ago and nodded, "Well, he told me a long time ago."

"Does he come back often?" Mr. Zhuang asked again.

"Well, he comes back every week when I'm on vacation." Zhuang Ziqing replied again.

"Then what did he say about this matter?"

Zhuang Ziqing frowned slightly, "He just said that the company's development has encountered a bottleneck and he wants to go public."

Mr. Zhuang kept nodding his head, which was similar to what he had learned.

"At that time, I told him that I couldn't go back to China, or go public in Hong Kong, but he said it was impossible because it was too big to eat!"

When Mr. Zhuang heard this, he couldn't help laughing, "This kid is a prince who sells melons, and he sells melons!"

Zhuang Ziqing didn't have much to say and kept silent.

But she couldn't help defending her husband in her heart. With a market value of 2000 billion US dollars, can the domestic and Hong Kong stock markets afford it?

As if seeing the girl's expression, Mr. Zhuang secretly sighed, the girl really turned her elbow outward.

"He is right. It is understandable to go public in the United States."

After Mr. Zhuang said this, Zhuang Ziqing felt relieved.

"How about your company's shares?" Mr. Zhuang asked again.

"In addition to the shares sold to Apple, employees also own shares, as well as people from the WeChat Research Institute, and Zicheng also has shares. He wanted to give it to me, but I didn't want it!"

Mr. Zhuang nodded, "It's useless for you to want those things, but it's a bad thing."

Zhuang Ziqing pursed her lips and hummed.

"Then what's his plan next?"

"I can't tell you the specifics, but I heard that once it goes public, it will receive a very large amount of funds. At that time, he may acquire some companies. In addition, he will continue to increase the research and development investment of the Shenzhen WeChat Research Institute."

"Well, Zicheng called me before and said that their robot research and development has made a key breakthrough, and they have conquered many key technologies. This is a very good phenomenon." Mr. Zhuang said with a slight smile.

Thinking about it carefully, my grandson-in-law is really...

I don't know how to say it, I don't know if it's really lucky?Or did he really have that vision?
It's like talking about movies. When he invested in movies, many people said that he was looking for female stars, but what happened?

All the movies he invested in in the past two years were big hits, needless to say last year, this year's Journey to the West, To Youth, Partners, Little Times and other hit movies are also super hits, earning a lot of face for domestic movies.

Especially in the middle of this year, the two super blockbusters [Chinese Expeditionary Army] and [Ghost Blowing the Lantern] both claim to have invested more than Hollywood blockbusters. After more than a year of preparation, they are finally about to start shooting. This is simply a shot in the arm for Chinese movies.

In recent years, Yang Huan's reputation abroad has become more and more famous, not only because it took him three years to establish a company with a market value of 2000 billion US dollars, but also because of his growing influence in European football.

Especially not long ago, domestic media reported that Southampton actively participated in and promoted England's youth training reform code-named Glorious Revolution, which aroused strong reactions from domestic fans.

Even the person above was alarmed and personally called his name.

"Ziqing, it will be my birthday in a few days."

"Well, I remember, Grandpa!" Zhuang Ziqing nodded obediently.

At this time last year, she was engaged to Yang Huan, how could she forget?

"Turn around, tell A Huan, tell him to come back sometime, and tell him that I have something to talk to him about."

Although Mr. Zhuang said it lightly, Zhuang Ziqing could feel that this matter must be serious.

Seeing the worried look of his precious granddaughter, Mr. Zhuang chuckled, "You, don't worry about it, it's nothing serious, just something, let him help with the planning, and by the way, ask him, when will he give me a great-grandson hug!"

Zhuang Ziqing was thin-skinned and couldn't take it any longer, she blushed coquettishly and said, "Grandpa!"

"Haha, okay, okay, I won't talk anymore, you go!"

Zhuang Ziqing knew that grandpa was going to continue listening to the opera, so she stood up, "Then I'm going out, grandpa."

"Well, let's go!"

"Dad, look!"

In a mansion in the center of Milan, Italy, Princess Barbara Berlusconi of AC Milan delivered a newspaper to her father, former Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi.

Berlusconi had just had dinner, picked up the napkin and wiped his lips. After putting it down, he took the newspaper handed over by his daughter, tilted his head to the light line, squinted his eyes, and read very slowly.

It was only then that Barbara realized that he was actually 77 years old.

Barbara, on the other hand, sat on the sidelines without speaking, and waited silently.

After a long time, Berlusconi finished reading the newspaper and clicked his tongue twice, "No wonder you are so profligate!"

After finishing speaking, he showed his trademark half-smile expression again.

Not long ago, when Yang Huan visited Italy, he completed several acquisitions and promised to continue to increase investment in Italy. This made many people think that he came to Italy to squander money.

Think about it, it's really enviable!

If I can spend 200 billion U.S. dollars, it will be considered a lifetime, and it will never be spent.

"Barbara, I asked you to inquire about the old site of the World Expo. How is it going?" Berlusconi asked with concern.

"I have found out clearly that the auction is indeed ahead of schedule."

"Why?" Berlusconi looked hesitant.

He has been eyeing this land for a long time, and intends to use it to build a new stadium for AC Milan.

Barbara shook her head, "I'm not very clear about the specific situation, but I heard it came from Rome, and the Milan World Expo Foundation also agreed. Now it's up to the Lombardy region and the Milan city government, but in my opinion, it's not too difficult to pass!"

"What are the conditions for participating in the auction?" Berlusconi asked in a deep voice.

"The land is not allowed to be leased. According to the municipal government's plan, it will be used to build a large-scale commercial city and a five-star modern football stadium. It will be auctioned in cash and paid within one year. At the same time, this project must be started before the [-] World Expo and completed within five years."

Berlusconi couldn't sit still when he heard this.

"I think they've already talked about it, haven't they?"

Barbara frowned when she heard this, "Dad, what do you mean, it's an appointment?"

"Non-determined?" Berlusconi shook his head and laughed, "Don't use such stupid terms, they're not that stupid, it's just that both parties have a tacit understanding, and these conditions one by one are all for the purpose of kicking out other potential bidding opponents."

"what do you mean……"

Berlusconi nodded, "Yes, it's Inter Milan!"

Just a few days ago, Inter Milan officially announced that Moratti and the club's board of directors unanimously decided to sell Inter Milan to a Chinese consortium for a purchase price of 5000 million euros.

After the acquisition was completed, Moratti served as the honorary chairman of the team, and the club management remained unchanged.

Including the head coach Mazari and many players in the team have come out to express their views that after the acquisition, Inter Milan will usher in a turning point.

As an insider, Berlusconi knows better than anyone that the one who bought Inter Milan was none other than Yang Huan.

This side bought Inter Milan, and the other side immediately negotiated with the Lombardy region, the Milan City Government, and the World Expo Foundation.

Just imagine, the land is not allowed to be leased, and it is said that the city government plans to use it to build a large commercial city and a five-star modern stadium. The purchase price must be paid within one year, the project will be started within two years, and the project will be completed within five years.

How much does it cost?
It's full of money, a football field, a large commercial city, if you add hotels, shopping centers and so on, it will be an astronomical sum.

They almost didn't tell others, you all don't come to grab it, we have already made an appointment!

For their set of bidding techniques, Berlusconi did not know how many times he had played, and he was more skilled than anyone else.

It's just that he didn't expect that this time, he would be used by that group of juniors on him.

Thinking about it makes people feel ironic!

"Dad, what do we do now?" Barbara asked.

Berlusconi shook his head helplessly, "What else can we do? Unless we can spend a lot of money to compete with them, but for us, the stadium is useful, but the commercial city is useless."

Barbara knew this very well.

According to the statistics of the Milan City Government, nearly 20 Chinese tourists visit Milan every year. By the year of the 100 World Expo, the total number of Chinese tourists will reach 2000 million, and the entire World Expo will attract more than [-] million people.

Just imagine, if a comprehensive commercial city like Chinatown, integrating hotels, shopping malls, and luxury stores is built to cater for Chinese tourists in the area close to the World Expo in Milan, how big is the potential?

It's just sitting and counting money!
Judging from Yang Huan's performance in Southampton and Madrid, he is fully capable of this kind of operation.

But AC Milan can't do it, and Berlusconi can't do it either!

So, they can only sit on the sidelines, watching others eat warmly, but themselves are so hungry that they are anxious.

In fact, it's not impossible for him to stop this transaction now, for example, he only needs to pierce the window paper.

But he dared not do it.

Because Berlusconi knows better than anyone else that some people are holding onto his black material. If he dares to stand up on this matter, he and his family will be doomed.

Thinking of this, Berlusconi sighed helplessly.

For him, this was no longer his main concern at the moment.

What he is most concerned about now is the issue of AC Milan.

He can't afford the money anymore. If he can't find another Kaizi to help him invest in AC Milan, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive.

"Barbara, has there been any movement from the Indonesian side in the past few days?"

"Well, I heard that they are raising money everywhere, and have already found more than a dozen partners."

Hearing the news, Berlusconi couldn't help laughing.

Finally heard a piece of good news, is not it?
"Go and tell that Indonesian and that group of Americans that we will take one of the land after the World Expo is over to build a new stadium, and give them some sweetness!"

"Huh?" Barbara was a little surprised.

The government is indeed calling on capable consortiums to develop the site for the new World Expo, but does AC Milan have money?
But after one more look at her father's shrewd eyes and wicked smile, Barbara understood.

It was you who delivered it to your door, don't blame us for being too cruel!
Barbara laughed too!
