My 1999

"Dad, I want to ride a big horse."

"Dad, I want one too."

"Okay, ride a big horse, let's ride."

Xu Liang put his hands and feet on the ground, arched his body, and the two little guys rode on his back.

"Go, go, Dad, run."

"Go..."

Looking at Xu Liang being pulled by the hair and clothes by the two little guys, and kicked from time to time.

"It's rare to see Brother Liang so embarrassed."

Huo Gang, who was watching the excitement on the side, commented.

"This is called father-son love. If you have a son in the future, he will be like this." Zhang Hongwei said.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. I am a seven-foot-tall man after all. If that stinky boy dares to ride on my head, I will beat his butt into eight pieces."

Glancing at him, Zhang Hongwei made a precise judgment.

"Do you want me to tell Zhang Mei what you just said?"

Huo Gang instantly wilted.

"Old Zhang, we are brothers. You can't do such an unkind thing."

"I didn't expect that a seven-foot-tall man like you is also a henpecked man."

"What are you henpecked about? There's nothing wrong with my ears."

"He said you're afraid of your wife."

Li Jinling next to him reminded calmly.

Huo Gang was furious.

"I'm a seven-foot-tall Shandong man..."

"What's Zhang Mei's phone number?"

Huo Gang: "..."

Looking at Huo Gang, who was still gritting his teeth, Zhang Hongwei smiled.

This guy is fearless, 1.9 meters tall, and as strong as a bull. I didn't expect that he is also a man who loves his wife.

But he really appreciates Huo Gang like this.

He is loyal and righteous, a real man of iron and blood.

...

Xu Liang spent a morning with his children.

Eating, shopping, and playing.

After coming back and teasing them again, he had lunch in the afternoon and coaxed them to take a nap before driving to Hanhua Pengcheng's office - Building A of Taihua Century Plaza.

Taihua Century Plaza was originally Hongchang Plaza and the unfinished New Century Plaza.

After Taihua bought both, they were rebuilt into the current ‘Taihua Century Plaza’.

The underground two floors to the above-ground six floors are Taihua Shopping Center.

The upper part is divided into three super high-rise buildings.

Building A is Hanhua Pengcheng Office, Goldman Sachs Pengcheng Office, Sequoia Pengcheng Office, etc.

It gathers branches and offices of 27 financial institutions at home and abroad.

Building B is the 5A-level Liangmuyuan Hotel, and Building C is an office building for rent.

As the CBD of Pengcheng, Taihua Century Plaza is also the place with the highest consumption in Pengcheng, gathering most of the luxury goods at home and abroad.

From its opening in 2004 to now, the average daily traffic of Taihua Century Plaza Shopping Center has exceeded 300,000 people.

In 2005, the total turnover exceeded 4 billion Chinese yuan.

It is the top 3 level in the country.

It is also the most profitable shopping center under Taihua, without a doubt.

However, the newly opened Yangcheng Taihua City [Taikoo Hui] has the potential to compete with it.

But the latter has just opened, and it will take time to prove itself.

Taihua Century Plaza, decorated with gold exterior walls, is extremely conspicuous in the entire Pengcheng CBD and can be seen from a long distance.

Hanhua Pengcheng Office occupies the top 15 floors of Building A of the Plaza.

The reception room is on the 58th floor.

When Xu Liang arrived, people from China Petroleum and Ping An were already waiting here.

"Boss, this is Mr. Sun Yun from China Petroleum."

"Mr. Xu, I have heard of you for a long time."

After a quick glance at the middle-aged man in front of him wearing a black suit, with sparse hair on his head and a fat head and big ears, Xu Liang smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Mr. Sun, nice to meet you."

"This is Mr. Zhou Guanzhong from Ping An."

Wearing black-framed glasses, Zhou Guanzhong, who is thin and elegant, has a smile on his face, giving people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze.

"Mr. Xu is a world-class financier, and Standard Chartered is a world-class bank. It is our Ping An's honor to cooperate with you this time."

"Mr. Zhou is too polite. This time, we still need everyone to work together to deal with Guangdong Development Bank.

Please take a seat."

Everyone sat down as host and guest.

After the company secretary served tea, Xu Liang did not waste time.

Now time is the most precious thing for him.

"You two, our time is precious, so I will speak frankly.

Among the three consortiums currently acquiring Guangdong Development Bank, the most advantageous one is the merger and acquisition group led by Citigroup, which is composed of Carlyle Group, China Life, State Grid, CITIC Trust and PwC Investment.

Even the merger and acquisition group led by Societe Generale, which is composed of Sinopec Group, Baosteel Group, Bank of Canada and investment institution Proparco, has an advantage over us.

But now Guangdong Province has given us an opportunity.

As long as I am willing to put a BOE 8th generation line in Guangdong Province, they are willing to give us the opportunity to acquire Guangdong Development Bank."

Sun Yun and Zhou Guanzhong looked normal, and obviously knew the news a long time ago.

"But the business belongs to everyone. There's no reason for my family to contribute."

Sun Yun smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, it was you who invited us to join the merger group."

"Of course.

But I invited you here because I want everyone to work together, not to do nothing and just want to get benefits." Xu Liang was blunt.

With his current status, even the top national companies have the right to have an equal dialogue.

Sun Yun's face was a little stiff.

Being in a high position, he hadn't been so bluntly responded to for a long time.

Zhou Guanzhong said quickly: "Mr. Xu, the merger and acquisition of Guangdong Development Bank is indeed a common business for everyone, and we are willing to provide help as much as we can.

But recently, we have been cooperating with you in your efforts to persuade Guangdong Province.

But as you can see, the results are not very effective.

So it’s not that we haven’t tried our best, it’s just that we lack the ability. "

"Mr. Zhou, forget about what happened before. Without results, all efforts are meaningless.

Now, I have the ability to win Guangdong Publishing.

According to the rules of the business world, if you want to take shares, you take them from me, and you should pay the price. "

"I wonder what kind of reward Mr. Xu wants?"

Xu Liang didn't go around in circles anymore.

"I heard that PetroChina and Ping An are planning to list on A-shares?"

PetroChina and Ping An have been listed on the Hong Kong stock market for a long time, and PetroChina is even listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

As domestic A-shares become more mature and larger, they are also preparing to come back for listing.

Zhou Guanzhong: "Mr. Xu means..."

"It's very simple. Hanhua Securities serves as the underwriter for the A-share listings of PetroChina and Ping An."

Xu Liang's picture shows a poor dagger.

The expressions of the two people also changed.

Although the final listing plans of China National Petroleum Corporation and Ping An after returning to A-shares have not yet been launched, internal discussions indicate that 4 billion shares are expected to be issued at a price of 15 Chinese dollars per share.

The total amount issued exceeds 60 billion Huaxia coins.

According to the current trend of rising oil prices, the stock price of Huaxia Petroleum in the secondary market is close to 30 Chinese yuan per share.

The profits in the middle are very generous.

Compared with PetroChina, Ping An already has an internal draft of its listing plan.

The total number of shares issued in the A-share market is 575 million shares, and the issue price is 33.8 yuan/share.

Among them, 345 million shares were allocated to strategic investors and locked for 12 months from the date of listing.

230 million shares will be placed in the secondary market and will be locked for three months from the date of listing.

Targeted fundraising does not require listed underwriters.

However, the 230 million shares placed in the secondary market, totaling 7.774 billion Chinese yuan, will definitely need the help of brokers.

"Mr. Xu, this matter is very important. We need to discuss it before we can give you an answer."

Zhou Guanzhong said.

"No problem, but the Guangdong Province is pressing hard, and you two only have two days."

"We'll do it as soon as possible."

Zhou Guanzhong stood up.

"Mr. Xu, I won't interrupt you as time is tight. I'll take my leave."

"You two walk slowly."

After watching them leave.

"Which one of them do you think is more likely to accept our conditions?"

Liang Si pondered for a moment.

"Peace Zhou Guanzhong."

"I'm just the opposite."

Liang Si was stunned, "The face of the one from Caiyou just now was not pretty."

"He is not the one who can really make the decision in China Petroleum Corporation, and one of the institutions involved in Ping An's targeted fundraising this time is Newbridge Capital."

A flash of inspiration flashed in Liang Si's mind and he blurted out.

"Shenzhen Development Bank!"

Xu Liang: "Ping An wants to expand its business scope from insurance to banking, so what it wants is to acquire 85% of Guangdong Development Bank's equity instead of 20%.

Now it has almost no chance of taking over China Guangdong Development Bank alone.

Therefore, we can only resort to the next best option and choose to acquire Shenzhen Development Bank.

In contrast, China National Petroleum Corporation only made a simple investment in Guangdong Development Bank. From the perspective of investment return, from 2000 to the present, the financial institution with the highest return in the world is Hanhua.

Therefore, they prefer us to restructure Guangdong Development Bank. "

There is one more thing Xu Liang didn’t say.

The Jiang family has connections in China Petroleum.

At the critical moment, this is the decisive point.

"If Shenzhen Development Bank withdraws, who are you going to find to replace it?"

"There are many goals, but we need to think carefully about whether they are specific. ... Forget about that, let me take a look at the operating data of your Pengcheng office for the first half of the year."

"You go to my office."

Xu Liang nodded.

The two came to the top floor.

As the president of Hanhua Pengcheng Office, Liang Si has the same power as Shen Nanpeng of the Magic City Office.

Directly responsible for private equity business and venture capital business, supervising securities, trusts, futures and other businesses.

Currently, Pengcheng Office has five venture capital funds and three private equity funds.

Fund No. 1 is the former Mars Fund 4. It was established very early. Over the years, it has accumulated venture funds under management of US$1.5 billion.

It owns a series of well-known companies such as 51job, Zhaopin.com, Maopu, Rapoo Technology, Goertek, Wistron, Shanda, NetDragon, Hikvision, Hundsun Electronics, and ATL.

According to the latest valuation, the total value held by Fund No. 1 has exceeded US$4.7 billion.

Fund No. 2 is the former Mars Fund 10. It focuses on the medical and consumer fields as its main investment direction. From 2004 to now, it has accumulated a solid foundation.

The total amount of funds has also grown from the previous US$200 million to the current US$800 million. It owns a series of well-known companies such as Huayi, WuXi AppTec, Neptune, Enlight Media, Laobaidian Pharmacy, Little Sheep, and Bona Pictures.

The total valuation of holdings exceeded US$2.4 billion.

Fund No. 3 was established the latest, raising only US$100 million. The person in charge was Zhao Donglai, who emerged from Fund No. 1.

Currently there are only four companies under its umbrella.

Christine, Holiland, Isabelle, AdaLe.

They are all emerging domestic bakery chain enterprises, mainly selling bread, cakes, Western pastries, Chinese pastries, rice dumplings, moon cakes and other products.

"Is Zhao Donglai going to suppress the bakery industry?" Xu Liang said.

"The bakery industry is very popular among young people, especially girls with high spending power.

The domestic bakery market has a weak foundation and relatively single categories.

Since the late 1990s, with the introduction of Western pastries, new bakery stores have been welcomed by the market with a combination of Chinese and Western operating models and modern decoration.

Now it is growing at a rate of 70% per year, which is a rapidly developing blue ocean." Liang Si explained.

Xu Liang nodded. He doesn't like desserts and has no research on the bakery industry.

"The bakery industry does have great potential. In addition, you can pay attention to the flower chain and milk tea chain. Some seemingly small industries often contain huge profits."

"I will tell Zhao Donglai."

In addition to venture capital funds.

The two private equity funds under Pengcheng are mainly based on companies listed on the Pengcheng main board.

Private equity No. 1 is mainly in the pharmaceutical industry.

Private equity No. 2 is mainly in the high-tech industry.

Each of them holds 3 billion Chinese Yuan in funds.

Including leverage, the amount of funds controlled by each fund is about 10 billion Chinese Yuan.

However, these leverages have only been gradually added this year.

Revenue is about 40%.

However, with the hot domestic equity market, leverage is still increasing.

How much it can be increased depends on market development.

In total, Hanhua Pengcheng Office manages 3.18 billion US dollars in funds and manages total assets of about 9.857 billion US dollars.

It is a little worse than Shanghai, but not much.

Xu Liang put down the information.

"Overall, it is still very good.

But the number of venture capital funds is still too small. Two more will be hatched this year."

Venture capital funds should not be too large. If they are too large, it will take a lot of time to invest. The reason why Pengcheng No. 1 Fund raised 1.5 billion US dollars is mainly for PE, not VC.

"Okay."
