My 1999

"By the way, you don't need to sell the house in Cheongdamdong. It's close to the company. You can live there when you get off work late."

"Thank you Oppa."

He stretched out his hand to lift the woman's chin, looked at this beautiful face with a mature style, and smiled: "You are my woman, of course I must consider you."

"I will always be Oppa's woman."

Just as the two were flirting, the ambiguous atmosphere was interrupted by the sudden ringtone of the mobile phone.

Xu Liang picked it up, took a look, and pressed the answer button. Sun Zhenping's excited voice came over.

"The war has started, Mr. Xu has started the war."

Listening to his incoherent voice, a huge excitement rose from Xu Liang's bottom.

"real?!"

"Really! The news is still broadcast now. In front of the global media, US President George W. Bush wants to punish the Afghan regime. After the news was broadcast, the British and American coalition forces air raided the Afghan army base, and the war has broken out. Already." Sun Zhenping spoke very quickly.

The words were filled with excitement.

"Pay close attention to all news about the war with Afghanistan, and pay more attention to the stock market."

"yes."

After giving a few instructions, I hung up the phone.

"Let's go home right away."

After greeting Sun Mingzhen back home, Xu Liang immediately turned on the TV.

Sure enough, South Korean news channels are still replaying US President George W. Bush's war declaration.

Seeing this, Xu Liang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I know that there will be a war sooner or later, but when it does not break out, my heart is always hanging and not at ease.

Now that everything has settled, apart from being relaxed, my whole body feels relaxed.

Pulling Sun Mingzhen, he held the beauty in his arms and ran upstairs. He couldn't wait to share this great joy with the person beside him.

After staying in South Korea for a few days, Xu Liang flew back to Xiangjiang again.

After the war in Afghanistan broke out, U.S. military industry stocks rose rapidly as if on a rocket. In just one week, the stock price increased by 20%.

After the outbreak period passed, growth began to level off.

If he had continued to hold shares until the end of the year, he might have made even more.

But this will also cost him a lot of investment opportunities.

After careful consideration, Xu Liang decisively ordered the warehouse to be cleared.

I have already harvested most of the fruits of this round of surge in military stocks, so there is no need to be greedy for the tail.

Under his decision, although Sun Zhenping felt a bit regretful, he still resolutely carried out his order.

The US$12 billion long position was quickly taken over by other investment institutions amid the boom in military industry stocks.

In just half a month, they were all cleared.

By going long this time, Xu Liang made a combined profit of about 10%. After all, he also has some steel, shipbuilding and chemical companies in his investment portfolio that are related to military industry stocks.

Although they have also risen, they are still much worse than the military industry stocks that have generally risen by more than 20%.

This also dragged down the profits of Xu Liang's investment portfolio.

But even so, he earned $1.2 billion.

After deducting the 30% capital gains tax and commissions, about $800 million is left.

Counting his own principal, it is US$3.22 billion.

Then deduct his own principal of US$700 million.

From September 11th to now, a total of 2.52 billion US dollars has been earned.

It can be called getting rich overnight.

The money was quickly transferred to accounts opened by Hongyan Fund in major banks.

When everything settled, Xu Liang breathed a sigh of relief.

it is finally over.

"The next time I want to have such a good opportunity, it will only be the 2003 washing powder war." Xu Liang said.

Looking at Sun Zhenping and the employees of the hedge fund department who were also relaxed.

Xu Liang clapped his hands and attracted everyone's attention to himself.

"Everyone has worked hard during this period. Therefore, I decided to give out 5 million US dollars as rewards to everyone. Director Sun will get 1.2 million, and the rest will be shared equally by all of you."

"Wow, long live Mr. Xu!"

Everyone cheered immediately.

Even if they split it equally, each would get between five and six million dollars.

This is an unimaginable amount of money for anyone.

It can allow them to enter the wealthy class instantly.

Sun Zhenping also looked excited. Everyone doesn't like money.

However, he did not make the final decision on this investment operation, so he did not receive a share of the fund.

"Everyone, please be patient, I'm not finished yet. In addition to money, you also have a week-long vacation to relax.

In addition, I remind you that regarding this fund operation, no one is allowed to leak secrets, otherwise they will be fired, and all rewards will be recovered. Have you remembered this? "

Everyone nodded quickly.

"Okay, you can pack your things and get off work."

After appeasing everyone, Xu Liang came to Zhao Xun's office.

"Mr. Xu."

After waving for him to sit down, "Lu Hui just said you were looking for me, what's the matter?"

"It's like this. Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns and other companies called, hoping to increase investment from Qinglong Fund."

“These vultures pounced on us one by one when they saw that we were making money.”

He made a lot of money by shorting Enron, and made a lot of money again by going long on military stocks in advance. Hongyan's investment ability has been verified by the market twice.

If you count his previous shorting of Yahoo, it was three times, although not many people knew about it this time.

But twice is enough.

"How much more do they want to add?"

"It varies, but almost all have US$50 million. In addition, John Thornton, the president and chief operating officer of Goldman Sachs, personally called and wanted to cooperate with us."

"John Thornton? The guy who didn't deal with John Thain?"

Having been in contact with the financial world for a long time, he also knows a lot about some insider information on Wall Street.

Goldman Sachs CEO Henry Paulson resigned, and John Thornton and John Thain, both presidents and chief operating officers of Goldman Sachs, were the only contenders.

Zhao Xun nodded, "That's him."

"Promise him."

The enemy of his enemy is his friend, he still knows this.

"yes."

"After this round, the size of Qinglong Fund will skyrocket again. I need to find more investment targets." Xu Liang said.

It's hard for others, but easy for him.

"By the way, what's the date today?"

"October 23rd."

"October 23rd is not long before the Hong Kong government auctions the land at No. 35 Barker Road."

——

On the morning of October 26, Xu Liang was checking the information on additional investment shares of various investment banks and banks at Hongyan Fund.

Compared with the last trial, which only cost 20 to 30 million US dollars, this time they were much more generous.

The amount of investment has basically more than doubled.

The lowest one was US$50 million. Goldman Sachs, under the auspices of John Thornton, directly invested US$60 million. JPMorgan Chase and HSBC also made the same choice.

The operations of these institutions have also increased the amount of funds raised by Qinglong Fund from US$300 million to US$570 million.

Xu Liang looked at the list.

"With so much added at once, the original few companies are no longer enough."

Yahoo's current market capitalization is only a little over 4 billion US dollars, and eBay is about the same. Although BlackBerry is a bit higher, it is still limited, and it is impossible to accommodate such a large amount of money without finding a few more companies.

"Yahoo, eBay, BlackBerry, Intel, Qualcomm, Nvidia, AMD, Oracle, that's about enough."

Before he could finish his thoughts, he was interrupted by the ringing of his cell phone.

I picked it up and saw that it was Jiang Xiaoyang's phone number.

After pressing the answer button, I was confused every day.

"Miss me?"

"I miss you big-headed guy. Take a look at Forbes World. You are now the richest man."

Xu Liang was stunned for a moment.

After chatting briefly, he quickly turned on the computer.

Fortunately, "Forbes" has begun to publish an online version, otherwise it would be really difficult to find it.

But you have to spend money to see it, and the price is quite expensive.

Only after registering as a member did Xu Liang see the genuine content. Contrary to expectations, although the China Rich List was published in Forbes, it was Hurun who ranked the list.

The name Hurun is certainly not unfamiliar to him.

People in the world call him "Hu Buquan".

The 'China Rich List' he compiled is based on listed shareholdings, so there is always a huge gap between the actual total wealth of the people on the list.

So since the launch of the Rich List, doubts have always accompanied this British man.

Suppress unnecessary thoughts and start reading the content.

Just like Jiang Xiaoyang said.

He indeed became the richest man in mainland China.

The total wealth is 19.3 billion Chinese coins.

His wealth mainly comes from two aspects. One is the well-known Hongmeng Company. Since he did not disclose his shareholding to the outside world, Hurun wrote an estimated shareholding of 60% at the end of the list.

The second is a new dream, Hurun’s valuation is 2.8 billion Chinese dollars.

Although it is a lot, it is still far behind the actual value of the new dream.

However, Hanhua and Hongyan are basically not included in the wealth list.

Otherwise his wealth would have doubled.

Even so, the total wealth value of 18.3 billion Huaxia coins is staggering enough.

Behind him are the Liu brothers of New Hope, whose net worth is only 8.3 billion Chinese dollars, which is only a fraction of his. Although others also know that the Liu brothers, who have been rich for more than ten years, cannot have only this little money.

But when this ranking was released, it attracted a lot of attention.

The key is that the bold text above emphasizes the fact that he is only nineteen years old.

Hurun also gave him a name.

"The youngest billionaire."

When this list appeared in China News, the media across the country seemed to explode.

The key is that Xu Liang's age and wealth are too topical.
