Rebirth of the Capital Legend

"No, I just came to look at the house." Su Yi replied with a smile.

When Ms. Li heard Su Yi's words, she carefully looked at the people in front of her again and found that they were indeed from the real estate agency. She smiled and asked, "Do you want to buy a house?"

"Well, I will probably live in Hong Kong City for a long time in the future." Su Yi said, "Buying a house will make it convenient for me to settle down. This is just right... Mr. Gu has a nice property that he is eager to sell. I think the environment, room layout, and location are all good, so I came to take a look and bought the house from Mr. Gu."

"Mr. Gu, are you going to sell this house?" Ms. Li turned her eyes to Gu Chijiang, a little surprised.

Gu Chijiang smiled awkwardly and said, "This house has been idle for quite some time, and I was originally planning to sell it. Since Mr. Su has taken a fancy to it, I might as well do him a favor."

"Oh, so that's it!" Ms. Li smiled and didn't say much.

She could probably guess the reason why Gu Chijiang sold the house, but she had some friendship with him, and asking too many questions would hurt their feelings.

"It seems that our family will be neighbors with Mr. Su in the future." After a pause, Ms. Li said with a smile.

Su Yi responded with a smile: "It's my honor."

In fact, one of the main motivations for him to buy this property was this consideration. After all, the Huo family still has a great influence in Hong Kong City. It would not be bad for his future development to have closer relations with them.

Of course, despite this, he would not deliberately try to build these relationships.

Just let it be.

He believed that with the amount of capital he currently held and the potential for future development he had demonstrated, these prominent families in Hong Kong would at least give him some face as long as he showed some goodwill.

"Are you two busy? Why don't you come over and sit down at my house?" Ms. Li looked at everyone and invited them with a smile, "I'll ask the housekeeper to make some coffee for everyone."

"Thank you for your invitation, Ms. Li. However, Mr. Gu and I are still waiting to sign the subsequent contract, so we won't bother you anymore, Ms. Li." Su Yi said, "Next time, I will definitely come next time, don't you think... Mr. Gu?"

Having said that, Su Yi's gaze immediately turned to Gu Chijiang.

Gu Chijiang really wanted to sign the contract as soon as possible. He coughed lightly, said a few polite words, and rejected Ms. Li's invitation.

Afterwards, the group returned to the intermediary agency and signed the subsequent transaction contract.

Then, the next day, July 7, Monday, Gu Chijiang transferred the ownership of the house to Su Yi, and Su Yi also paid the final payment of the house as agreed.

"Mr. Su, there is a financial evening party hosted by the Hong Kong government tonight. We need your attendance. What do you think..."

Just when Su Yi had finished buying a house and was thinking about the meeting with Isabel two days later and what conditions he could offer to impress the other party, Wang Huaijin, general manager of the Gangcheng branch, called him.

"A financial evening party hosted by the Hong Kong government?" Su Yi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, since it is a party hosted by a Hong Kong government department and we have been invited, we should still give them face. Do you have any plans tonight? If not, please go with me."

"Okay, Mr. Su." Wang Huaijin responded.

"Oh, by the way, has the special bonus issue been implemented?" Su Yi asked.

Wang Huaijin said: "The plan has been implemented. I have sent the specific amount and catalog of payments to the company's finance department according to the content you reviewed. I plan to pay it out together with the employees' salaries."

"There's no need to wait that long." Su Yi said, "Since the employees' expectations have been aroused, we can't let them down or wait too long. Since this special bonus has been withdrawn from the fund account and has already been deposited into the company's account, and I've made a promise in advance, let the Finance Department send it to everyone as soon as possible."

"Okay." Wang Huaijin nodded. "Then I'll tell the Finance Department and they'll distribute it to everyone tomorrow."

After saying that, the two hung up the phone.

Afterwards, when it was close to the time of the financial evening party that Wang Huaijin mentioned, Wang Huaijin drove to the hotel himself, picked up Su Yi, and came to the venue.

It is different from the offline investment exchange meeting held by Huifeng Bank two months ago.

The situation when there is no one to receive guests in their company.

This time, before the two of them even entered the venue, the reception staff came forward to greet them. Among them, relevant leaders of the Hong Kong government's Monetary Bureau also took the initiative to come forward and shake hands with Su Yi.

"Boss Su, you are a rare guest tonight." Su Yi walked into the venue. Zhang Yan, the general manager of Huayin International's asset management business department, who had dealt with him before, took the initiative to step forward and shook his hand. He smiled and said, "Many people from the industry came tonight, and they all want to hear about Boss Su's thrilling and brilliant achievements in this round of British pound exchange rate investment projects, and also want to hear your insights on the current global economic situation, capital markets, and financial trading markets."

"Mr. Zhang, what you said really killed me." Su Yi responded with a smile, "There are so many senior people in the industry here tonight. As a newcomer, what insights can I offer? As for this round of investment in the pound exchange rate, it can only be said that it was luck. The referendum result just happened to move in the direction of Brexit."

"If someone else said the word 'luck', I might believe it, but if it comes from Mr. Su..." Zhang Yanshun laughed and said, "I definitely don't believe it."

"Boss Zhang, I heard you're going to be promoted again." As the two were talking, a middle-aged man in his forties approached with a smile and said, "I heard that the group's personnel adjustments will be made soon, and the position of vice president of Huayin International has been vacated."

"No, that's just a rumor." Zhang Yanshun responded with a smile.

But even though he was saying the rumor, his expression showed that he had obviously known the news the other party was talking about.

"Oh, Mr. Su, let me introduce you." After a pause, Zhang Yanshun said, "This is Director Wang from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority. You two may have to deal with each other in the future."

When Su Yi heard that it was the leader of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, he naturally did not dare to neglect him. He smiled and extended his hand and said, "Hello, Director Wang."

"Mr. Su, you're too polite." Wang Shihao said with a smile, "Mr. Su's investment in the British pound exchange rate has greatly improved the reputation of our Chinese capital, and it has also increased the economic benefits of our port city."

After all, the Huayi Capital institution headed by Su Yi made billions of dollars in profits from the international financial market.

Recently, Su Yi has exchanged a large amount of Hong Kong dollars from banks and financial institutions.

This also helped the Hong Kong government earn a lot of US dollar foreign exchange. For government agencies and the Monetary Authority, they were naturally very welcome and very happy.

So, this period of time.

In addition to the pound exchange rate market, a large number of bullish institutions were slaughtered by short-selling institutions.

Almost all people in the entire financial world of Hong Kong City expressed their goodwill towards Su Yi, and wanted to win over this dazzling future star.

"Director Wang praised me." Su Yi said, "It was just luck."

Wang Shihao laughed and said, "Boss Su is too modest. There is absolutely no such thing as luck in investing billions of dollars. What's more, Boss Su also helped Huayi Capital and Aberdeen Asset Management to earn billions of dollars. How could such a grand and generous investment be achieved by luck?"

"Hey, Mr. Su... we meet again."

At this time, Frederick, the main fund product manager of 'Aberdeen Asset Management Evolution No. 1', also came over.

"Mr. Frederick, how are you?" Su Yi smiled and extended his hand. "I heard that you are about to return to the headquarters of Aberdeen Asset Management on Wall Street?"

"Yes," said Frederick, "I will leave Hong Kong next month."

"Then who will manage the main fund product 'Evolution No. 1'?" Su Yi said, "This fund product is missing its backbone without you."

"The group will have new appointments," Frederick said. "Although I have returned to Wall Street, if there is an opportunity in the future... Mr. Su and I can continue to cooperate."

This round of investment in the British pound exchange rate made him see Su Yi's extremely high trading talent.

He believes that Su Yi will make more stunning achievements in the international financial market in the future.

"I hope so." Su Yi said, "It seems that Mr. Frederick will take over the entire asset management business department of Aberdeen Asset Management Group next."

"I dare not say anything unless it's confirmed." Frederick smiled and responded.

In terms of ability alone, he is fully qualified for the position of president of asset management business within the group. However, due to his political inclinations, his over-optimism about the future of China and the Asia-Pacific Economic Zone, and his excessive closeness to China, he is not taken seriously in the group's board of directors.

But this time...

Thanks to his consecutive excellent investment performance in the "Swiss Franc Black Swan" and "Brexit Referendum Black Swan" events, and at the same time, he single-handedly expanded the "Evolution No. 1" main hedge fund product, which was originally not very large within the group, from US$30 billion to its current scale of nearly US$200 billion in just two years.

It seems that even if some people on the board of directors dislike him, no one can stop him from being promoted to president of the group's asset management business.

"Haha..." Su Yi laughed, "No matter what, I still want to congratulate Mr. Frederick in advance."

Along with Su Yi being praised and befriended by a group of financial celebrities in Hong Kong.

At this moment, Gu Chijiang, a former tycoon in the Hong Kong financial circle, Sato, the general manager of the asset management business of Mitsui Jiayou Hong Kong Investment Company, who has always been the core leader of such evening parties, and Godfrey, the main fund product manager of Huifeng Huanyu No. 1, have obviously fewer friends gathered around them.

After all, everyone knows that these major institutions have invested in this round of pound exchange rate.

After the great defeat, these people could no longer save themselves.

The so-called financial circle is also a place of fame and fortune. No matter if they are friends or strangers who don’t want to work with you, they will only add icing on the cake but will never help you in times of need.

Gu Chijiang watched as Su Yi became the celebrity of this financial evening party.

For a moment, my heart was filled with endless emotion.

At the same time, Sato and Godfrey looked at Su Yi with a hint of resentment in their eyes.

Especially Godfrey, he thought carefully, if it weren't for the last offline financial investment exchange meeting, as a newcomer, Su Yi deliberately provoked and stimulated him, he would not have invested such a large amount of money in the pound exchange market to gamble, nor would he have missed the best time to close the position and stop the loss.

Of course, except for Su Yi's deliberate provocation.

Another major reason was that he acted on impulse during trading and fell into a gambler's mindset when he was losing money.

Now, as Huifeng Group is about to make job adjustments, he knows that his career is basically over.

Therefore, he was particularly resentful towards Su Yi.

However, even if he was very resentful in his heart, he could not do anything to Su Yi in this public place. He could only watch Su Yi talk loudly with high spirits amid everyone's flattery.

"Boss Su, two months ago, when you pooled funds and gambled all the money you had accumulated in the early stage to short the pound exchange rate, you should have already made up your mind that the relevant proposals would definitely pass in this round of Brexit referendum, and the referendum result would definitely move towards Brexit, right?" When Su Yi had no idea how many times he had clinked glasses with the well-known people in the Hong Kong financial circle who had taken the initiative to greet him, a beautiful blonde woman in her thirties, who was wearing a purple evening dress and had delicate makeup, suddenly asked, "How did you judge that this round of 'Brexit referendum' crisis would inevitably break out and that the pound exchange rate would inevitably show an extreme trend?"

"You are..." Su Yi took a closer look at the beauty in front of him and felt a little strange.

"I'm Andel, the chief strategy analyst at SHD Asset Management." Andel smiled and extended her hand to Su Yi, "Nice to meet Mr. Su."

"SHD Asset Management Company?" Su Yi was slightly stunned.

He thought for a moment and also felt unfamiliar with this company.

"Shadow." Seeing Su Yi's confused look, Andel explained with a smile, "Our company is also called 'Shadow Asset Management Company'."

After the other party's explanation, Su Yi's mind was still blank about this company.

Of course, there are so many asset management companies around the world, so it’s normal that he hasn’t heard of them.

"It seems that Mr. Su doesn't know much about our company." Andel smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Mr. Su will definitely understand it in the future."

"Maybe." Su Yi responded indifferently.

"I wonder what Mr. Su thinks about the future virtual digital currency trading market?" An Dai paused and asked, "Do you think the future development of this market is promising?"

Su Yi didn't expect Andel to ask this question, and looked at her with obvious surprise.

At this time, in fact, most of the world's capital institutions have no interest in the digital currency market, and there is no large trading market scale.

In other words, at this time, there are not many capitals and investors who can notice this market opportunity.

"Ms. Andel, are you optimistic about the future market of digital currency?" Su Yi asked with a smile after coming to his senses, "Or does your company engage in investment business in this area?"
