My 1999

Taking down Vivendi is equivalent to taking control of Blizzard.

The Diablo series, Hearthstone series, Overwatch series, and the most important Warcraft series, these classic IPs are no less valuable than the Marvel series.

It's a pity that Activision Blizzard's shitty management has only developed one Warcraft movie in so many years.

As long as they can get some snacks.

Microsoft's acquisition price is more than $68.7 billion.

There is nothing I can do to miss this big gold mine.

What's more, Hongmeng's main business is games. Winning Vivendi Games and Blizzard will lay the foundation for dominating the global gaming industry in the next twenty years.

"Try to complete the acquisition of Vivendi Games this year."

If you can't get it this year, next year "Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne" will be popular all over the world, and Blizzard's value will skyrocket, and it will be difficult to buy it again.

Dong Dong…….

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Lu Hui opened the door and walked in, placing the documents in her hand in front of Xu Liang.

"Mr. Xu, this is the list provided to us by Zhaopin Recruitment."

Because during the Chinese New Year, he signed a contract with the Yidu government to invest 50 million Huaxia coins to develop the Jiulong Valley Scenic Area, Xu Liang needed a person in charge who understood tourism development and management.

He didn't have any talent in this area around him, so he wanted to recruit.

There were three people on the list, after a brief glance.

"You make an appointment with them and I'll interview them in person."

"OK."

"Also, please pay attention to the real estate in the capital for me. It doesn't have to be a villa, a flat floor can also be used."

"clear."

Time always flies by when I’m working, and it’s night soon.

Xu Liang drove to Andrea's restaurant.

"You came."

Seeing him, An Kaiyue happily greeted him.

Xu Liang smiled and nodded, then put his arms around the beautiful woman's slender waist, lowered his head and kissed her.

Compared to Qiao Yuhui, Sun Mingzhen and others who were reserved, An Kaiyue was much bolder. She did not shy away in front of her employees and boldly responded to Xu Liang's passionate kiss.

After a while.

"I'm hungry. Let's have dinner first."

An Kaiyue nodded, and the two of them walked to the main hall in the backyard with everyone's envious and even jealous eyes.

Wrapped in the hot radiator, An Kaiyue took off her coat.

A slim-fitting black sweater that outlines your perfect curves.

Then he sat directly on Xu Liang's lap, his beautiful eyes flowing.

"I'll feed you."

Xu Liang enjoyed An Kaiyue's service very much. Only with him and Futian Xinmei could he completely let go of all his guard and enjoy the beauty's service happily.

Eat, drink, and of course relax.

Furong tent heating has become a matter of course.

After the physical and mental exchange, the exhausted An Kaiyue lay on Xu Liang's chest and rested for a long time before regaining some energy.

"You asked me to ask about the sale of the courtyard next door, so I asked."

"They sell it, but at a high price."

"How many?"

"Thirty thousand yuan per square meter."

The current market price of the yard next to Houhai is around 20,000 yuan, and 30,000 yuan is indeed a bit expensive.

After all, the price of courtyard houses at this time is not as good as those of newly built properties.

The real scarcity of courtyard houses is due to the continuous renovation of old houses by the Beijing City Government in the past two years. After the number of old houses became less and less, the prices increased.

"How big is the place?"

"It's similar to ours. It's also a second-entry hospital, 345 square meters."

Xu Liang nodded, "Buy it, I'll pay for it."

"Um."

"Immediately after the transfer, the renovation will be the same as your current courtyard. The back room and the first courtyard will be converted into restaurants, and the side rooms and main room will be converted into private rooms." Xu Liang said.

"Do I want to expand my restaurant?" An Kaiyue asked in surprise.

"Of course it needs to be expanded. In the future, our company's external entertainment will be placed here to save them from spending my money. However, in the future, you can't only have Western food here, but also have Chinese food.

Also, you continue to ask the neighbors on the left and back, and try to buy their courtyard houses and continue to expand this restaurant. I will pay for it. From now on, this industry is yours. "

An Kaiyue suddenly became nervous.

"You...you don't want me anymore, right?"

Xu Liang hugged her delicate body tightly and said with a smile: "How could it be possible? You are my beautiful cook, and I can't bear to leave you, husband. But a woman must have her own career."

"I don't want a career, I just want to be around you, cook delicious food for you in different ways every day, and serve you." An Kaiyue said emotionally.

Xu Liang listened, felt her attachment, and was quite moved in his heart.

"Since you don't want to, forget about expanding the restaurant. You clean up the newly purchased yard and re-decorate it. We will move there in the future, so that I don't have to leave from the restaurant every time I look for you."

"Um."

An Kaiyue nodded obediently.

"Mr. Xu, this is the information on all the land being auctioned in this auction."

Xu Liang took it and looked at it.

Needless to say, Guangqumen is the largest of all land parcels at 48.78 hectares.

Looking back, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Plot C9 is located close to the southwest corner of Guomao, 16.9 hectares. Xu Liang took the map and looked at it, recalling his time working at the International Trade Center, and soon a landmark building emerged from the depths of his memory.

“Isn’t this Jianwai SOHO?”

If we look at location alone, the Guangqumen land parcel is not as good as Guomao, which is the CBD of Beijing and the core of the core.

Looking at the back, B2 plot, 7.4 hectares, is just north of the Guangqumen plot and also belongs to the Shuangjing section.

Most of the land put up for auction this time is near Shuangjing. In addition to C9, Guomao also has four plots of land, C3, C5 and C7. However, they are all residential plots, and they are basically about 20,000 to 50,000 square meters.

Even so, every piece of it will attract countless real estate companies to compete for it in future generations.

But in 2002, the capital city, which was surrounded by suburbs outside the third ring road, was only considered good land, not the essence.

The land in the second ring road is the fat.

Unfortunately, compared to most of the undeveloped Third Ring Road, most of the locations in the Second Ring Road are already owned and will not be put up for auction.

"This time you go and take down the C9 plot as well."

"Mr. Xu, the plot ratio of C9 is 3.5. To acquire it, it will cost at least 1.5 billion Huaxia coins. We don't have that much money now."

"If it's not enough, I'll vote for you."

Although Hongyan is purchasing the equity of Standard Chartered, most of the US$1.77 billion left behind still remains in its hands.

Standard Chartered's equity can be bought at any time, but if you miss this elite land, it will be gone.

"yes."

The big boss is rich, and he, a wage earner, has nothing to say.

"Okay, go ahead."

After Lu Jue nodded, he turned around and walked away.

He looked at the documents on the table and pondered for a moment.

He took out his cell phone and called Xia Changsheng.

The call was quickly connected.

"Mr. Xu."

"Lao Xia, how many shares of Standard Chartered have you acquired now?"

"3.7%."

Xu Liang nodded.

In order to avoid rising stock prices and increasing acquisition costs, Hongyan Fund did not absorb Standard Chartered shares very quickly.

The 3.7% stake is worth US$260 million based on Standard Chartered's current market value of US$7.2 billion.

Xu Liang did not use leverage for this part of the equity.

He knew that technology stocks and the Chinese real estate industry would rise rapidly in the short term, so he used leverage. Although Standard Chartered's equity will also rise, the increase will be far less than that of China Real Estate and technology stocks.

If it is a steady rise, it would be too much of a loss to use leverage.

"Where are Maotai and Wuliangye?"

"Moutai acquired 3.4% and Wuliangye 4.2%," Xia Changsheng said.

"How much money is left in the account?"

"$1.48 billion."

"It seems that we should take advantage of the fact that land is cheap and the location advantage is good to acquire more land."

Otherwise, land prices will get higher in the future, and hoarding land after ten years will be asking for trouble.

"Continue to acquire, and remember to notify me when you reach your target."

"yes."

After a brief chat, Xu Liang hung up the phone.

Dong Dong…….

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Lu Hui opened the door and walked in.

Seeing the smile on her face, Xu Liang smiled and said, "So happy to find a boyfriend?"

Lu Hui's face turned red, "Mr. Xu, if I find a boyfriend, I will definitely ask you to check it for me."

With that said, he placed a document in front of Xu Liang.

"Mr. Xu, this is the 2001 global hedge fund revenue rankings compiled by Fortune, a well-known American investment magazine.

With US$3.734 billion, Hanhua Capital ranks third in the world behind Bridgewater Associates and Man Group. "

After Xu Liang read the information, a smile appeared on his face.

"Send the information to Mr. Jiang, and then start the second round of fundraising."

"OK."

Shortly after Lu Hui left, Jiang Xiaoyang called.

"Have you received the information?"

"Received. I asked why so many big institutions are calling us to inquire whether we are raising funds? And the current investment direction. It turns out that we are famous."

"What agencies have called you?"

"My alma mater, Columbia University Investment Fund; Ontario Teachers' Retirement Fund, and AIG Investment Fund, and a number of family offices."

"Did you reply?"

"No, I'm just about to discuss it with you. There are now more than 30 institutions calling us for consultation. With the fermentation of Fortune magazine, it is estimated that there will be more in the future."

"This is a rare opportunity, so we immediately started to raise funds for the second phase of Qinglong, Xuanwu and Phoenix. The investment direction remains unchanged." Xu Liang continued.

“How much do you want to raise?”

"Han Xin orders troops, the more the better."

"Are you sure you can make the shot?" Jiang Xiaoyang couldn't help but ask.

The more funds the better, it must match your own abilities.

After all, it is not an easy task to find out whether a company is worth investing in.

"Don't worry, since I dare to take money, I will naturally be able to make money." Xu Liang said with a smile.

Others need to do detailed research when investing, but he doesn't.

He knows very well which companies are worth investing in next, and when to withdraw the money, so that he can be safe.

"Okay, I will notify you as soon as the funds are available."

"We don't have to wait for the funds to be in place. We invest one by one. The stock market is still at a low level. If it continues to be delayed, it may not be possible."
