After dinner, it was around eight o'clock in the evening.

After chatting with the beauties in the living room for a while, Yao Yuan went upstairs to the study to take a look at the situation in the international financial market.

Some of the beauties changed into swimsuits and went to swim in the heated swimming pool in the garden as an after-dinner exercise, while enjoying the beautiful night view of Hong Kong Island.

Some went to the karaoke room on the basement floor to sing and have a great time.

Upstairs, in the study.

Yao Yuan sat down in the boss chair and turned on the computer.

While the computer was booting up, he picked up his cell phone and called Zhou Chaoyang to ask about the company's situation.

Twenty minutes ago, the last few members of the team that went to New York to acquire Lehman Brothers Bank's high-quality assets returned to Hong Kong Island smoothly.

At this point, Jiuye Investment Group's looting operation against Lehman Brothers Bank has basically been completed.

The reason why it is basic is because the final battle has not yet begun.

The final battle will be next Monday, when Lehman Brothers files for bankruptcy protection in the New York District Court and collapses.

Through this final battle, Jiuye Investment Group can make a fortune by short selling and kick Lehman Brothers Bank into hell.

In addition, Zhou Chaoyang has informed Merrill Lynch.

Tell those guys that Yao Yuan has returned to Hong Kong Island and is going to study the acquisition of the assets of Merrill Lynch Japan Branch tomorrow and will make a decision soon.

Hearing this, Merrill Lynch CEO John seemed relieved and quite happy.

In addition to these, rumors are now spreading on Wall Street, saying that something earth-shaking is about to happen.

There were rumors that Merrill Lynch was about to be acquired by Bank of America, that Lehman Brothers was about to be acquired by Barclays, and even Morgan Stanley, the world's second largest investment bank, was rumored to be in crisis and about to be acquired.

However, no one could confirm the authenticity of these rumors, and all the top financial institutions involved in the rumors remained silent and did not respond at all.

As these rumors spread rapidly, they have caused considerable fluctuations in the international financial market.

European stock markets opened in the afternoon and responded with declines.

Fortunately, the decline was not large, and the fluctuation was still within a controllable range, and did not cause violent turbulence.

After introducing the situation of the international financial market, Zhou Chaoyang also introduced the situation of the Hong Kong headquarters.

Since they were communicating on the phone, it was not absolutely safe, so he did not say anything too sensitive.

While he was making his report, Yao Yuan also started to check the market conditions online.

He first checked the situation of the A-share and Hong Kong stock markets.

Compared with the turbulent international financial market, today's A-share market is stable and rising.

Ever since Yao Yuan announced in Shanghai that Jiuye Investment Group had officially entered the A-share market, the A-share index has risen by more than ten percent in just four days.

And this is even though the Jiuye Investment Group did not actually buy up shares, and the stock price continued to rise for four consecutive days.

When Jiuye Investment Group really comes in with huge amounts of money and starts buying things crazily, the scene will surely be spectacular.

The fully open Hong Kong stock market is greatly influenced by the international financial market and also fell today.

However, compared with the Japanese, Korean, European and American stock markets, the decline in the Hong Kong stock market was much smaller.

The stocks that performed the best in the Hong Kong stock market are those listed companies closely related to Jiuye Investment Group, followed by many blue-chip stocks from the mainland.

After a while, Zhou Chaoyang finished his report.

At the same time, Yao Yuan also quickly checked the situation of the A-share market and the Hong Kong stock market.

He then began to check the stock markets of Japan, South Korea and European countries to see how the market reacted.

He quickly found Mr. Shao's phone number and dialed it.

The call was connected quickly and it was Mrs. Shao who answered the phone.

"Good evening, Mrs. Shao, I'm Yao Yuan. I just returned to Hong Kong Island today and I'm calling you two to say hello."

Yao Yuan said politely.

"I don't deserve it, Mr. Yao, good evening to you too, I'll give the phone to Sixth Brother right now."

Mrs. Shao responded with a smile.

Then she turned on the speakerphone and Mr. Shao's voice came.

"Good evening, Yao Sheng"

After greeting each other and exchanging a few polite words, Yao Yuan immediately got down to business.

"Mr. Shaw, I'm going to go to TVB on Saturday morning. The management and employees of Shaw Brothers Pictures will be there. I want to meet everyone and get to know each other."

"If you have time, I would like to invite you and your wife to go to TVB. After all, TVB and Shaw Brothers were founded by you. I would like to listen to your teachings."

"There is one more thing. I would like to ask you to serve as TVB's lifetime honorary chairman and your wife to serve as TVB's honorary consultant. If possible, I would also like to ask your wife to continue to participate in the management of TVB."

"I will announce these things on the spot on Saturday, and tell TVB, Shaw Brothers, and everyone in Hong Kong, so I would like to invite you two to come and meet everyone."

After hearing what he said, Mr. and Mrs. Shao on the other end of the phone fell silent.

After a while, Mr. Shao's voice came.

"Thank you for your invitation, Mr. Yao. Please give me and my wife this honor. We have no choice but to accept it."

"We will go to TVB headquarters on Saturday morning. Now it seems that selling TVB and Shaw Brothers to you is a very wise decision."

"You are a businessman with a sense of righteousness, a sense of patriotism, and you are extremely smart. I have never seen such a smart person in my life!"

"Hahaha, you're too kind. I can't accept such high praise."

Yao Yuan responded with a smile.

Next, he asked about Mr. Shao and his wife's health, arranged a meeting time on Saturday, and then ended the call.

He had just put his phone back on the desk when it suddenly rang.

The person who called was Mr. Yang from Emperor Entertainment.

Yao Yuan picked up the phone, looked at the display, and immediately answered the call.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Shoucheng's familiar voice came.

"Good evening, Mr. Yao, I hope I didn't disturb you?"

Yao Yuan smiled softly and then responded:

"Good evening, Boss Yang. Long time no see. I'm in the study right now, so I don't want to bother you."

Next, the two sides exchanged a few polite greetings.

Boss Yang congratulated Yao Yuan on acquiring TVB and Shaw Brothers Films, and hoped that the two sides would cooperate more in the future.

However, this was not the main purpose of his call.

After laying the groundwork, he finally got to the point.

"Mr. Yao, I heard that Jiuye Investment Group has launched a plan to provide large amounts of financing to high-quality Hong Kong-listed companies to help them overcome difficulties."

"I wonder if our Royal Eng Group meets the relevant standards you set and is eligible to apply for financing support? If so, our group would like to raise HK$1 billion from Jiuye Investment."

"As the subprime mortgage crisis got worse, our group encountered some operational difficulties. In addition, the nude photo scandal that lasted for several months also had a certain impact on us, so we needed financing."

Without any hesitation, Yao Yuan smiled and gave an affirmative answer.

"No problem, Boss Yang, the Royal Eng Group fully meets the conditions for our group to provide financing."

"I can promise you that I will provide Royal Engagement Group with HK$1 billion in financing, with the interest rate being based on the lowest bank rate."

"But we have to wait until September 1st for our group to make the payment, and the plan will only be officially launched on September 1st."

"In the next few days, have your people prepare a financing plan, clearly state the pledge situation, and submit it to the relevant department of our group."

Hearing him agree so readily, Yang Shoucheng on the other end of the phone was stunned, seeming a little bit unbelievable.

After a moment's pause, he responded.

"I have to say, Mr. Yao, you are so generous. The financing conditions are incredible!"

"Don't you want to ask what I want to do with the 1 billion Hong Kong dollars? Aren't you worried that I won't be able to pay it back?"

Yao Yuan laughed and said confidently:

"I have great confidence in Mr. Yang's reputation and the strength of the Royal Eng Group. There is no possibility of defaulting on the debt. The Royal Eng Group may encounter some troubles, but it will never go bankrupt."

"As for the purpose of financing, the rules formulated by our group clearly state that the funds raised from our group can only be used to maintain normal production and operation activities of the enterprise and cannot be used in violation of regulations."

"The illegal use mentioned here includes speculation in real estate, stocks, futures, etc. Once we find that the funds are used illegally, we will immediately initiate the recovery procedure and recover all the funds."

"And put the other party on the blacklist and no longer cooperate with him. I am not in a position to ask what Boss Yang is going to do with the 1 billion Hong Kong dollars. It is bound by the agreement signed by both parties. If Boss Yang wants to talk, I am all ears."

After he finished speaking, Yang Shoucheng fell silent again.

After thinking for a moment, he said:

"Thank you for your trust, Mr. Yao. It is my honor to be your friend. You can rest assured that if our group can successfully raise funds, we will never use the funds indiscriminately."

"Let me tell you about the purpose of this financing. 20% of the funds will be used for Emperor Entertainment Group, and the remaining 80% will be used to acquire a famous European jewelry and watch company..."

Next, he briefly introduced the relevant situation and the situation of the acquisition target.

After he finished his introduction, Yao Yuan smiled and said:

"Boss Yang, I suggest you don't buy this European jewelry company for now. Why not wait another half a year or so?"

"A storm sweeping the world is about to come, and European and American financial markets will bear the brunt and will be severely impacted."

"If you buy it six months later, I'm sure you'll spend at least half as much as you do now, but you'll still be able to achieve your goal. Why not do it?"

"what!"

With a cry of surprise, Yang Shoucheng was stunned.

As we were talking, it was already around nine o'clock in the evening.

In the back garden swimming pool.

Many beautiful women in sexy bikinis were either playing in the swimming pool or sitting by the pool, laughing and chatting while enjoying the beautiful and charming night view of the mountain below.

At this moment, Yao Yuan suddenly came out of the living room and entered the back garden.

But he didn't change into a swimsuit, but wore the same home clothes he had worn before.

Arriving at the pool, he first looked at the many sexy and charming beauties with different styles, then smiled and said:

"Let me tell you something. I have a few endorsement opportunities for world-famous watches and jewelry. Who wants it?"

"We need five spokespersons in total, three women and two men. The endorsement fee is tentatively determined to be between two million and five million."

"The brands are Vacheron Constantin, Glashütte Original and Rolex, and the endorsement areas are Hong Kong, Macau and the Mainland, ..."

As he said this, all the beauties inside and outside the swimming pool looked over, their eyes full of excitement.
