Starting from floating in Hong Kong

Chapter 352 The future is within reach

Luo Minsheng slowly picked up the teapot, started to make tea, and sighed, "This matter is very difficult, and I am also very embarrassed."

"Standard Chartered Bank and Citibank have also approached us many times, and they offered very favorable conditions, but I didn't agree to them."

"I didn't talk to my boss about it either. I just told my boss that we are negotiating with HSBC."

Xu Jiabao took the teapot from Luo Minsheng's hand with winking eyes, and began pouring tea attentively, "I know Brother Sheng wants to help me, don't worry, as long as this business is handed over to me, everything will be easy to negotiate."

"As long as Brother Sheng helps me get through this difficult time, I will do whatever I want in the future, and I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

"It's not impossible to leave it to you, but I'll put my ugly words first." Luo Minsheng suddenly said with a serious face, "You HSBC must come up with a very sincere plan, otherwise I can't explain it to the boss."

"You can rest assured, Brother Sheng." Xu Jiabao immediately patted his chest and assured, "Even if we are not as good as Citibank and Standard Chartered Bank, we are not far behind."

"Very well, then I'll wait for your new plan to come out." Luo Minsheng smiled, "I just don't know if you can afford a billion dollars."

"Of course there is no problem!" Xu Jiabao said confidently, "Even if there is another billion dollars, I can eat it!"

Luo Minsheng stretched out his hand, "Then first wish us a happy cooperation!"

Xu Jiabao quickly stood up, stretched out his hands, held Luo Minsheng's hand respectfully, and said gratefully: "Thank you for your kindness, Brother Sheng, I will remember this love."

Luo Minsheng laughed in his heart, and didn't take what he said to Xu Jiabao to heart at all.

If those involved in finance really believe in any human promises, it is not far from the whole family going to the rooftop.

Xu Jiabao left excitedly, Luo Minsheng picked up the phone, "Boss, HSBC wants to eat up the whole billion."

"Have a good appetite?" Qin Yi was a little surprised, "Since they are so hungry, let's feed them first."

"What about Standard Chartered Bank?" Luo Minsheng hesitated, "Do you want to reject them?"

"No hurry." Qin Yi smiled slightly, "Stay safe at Standard Chartered Bank first, and tell them that there is a second batch, and the second batch can be given to them."

"Huh?" Luo Minsheng was a little surprised.

Is there a second batch of this thing?

……

After Xu Jiabao walked out of Luo Minsheng Investment Company, he quickly got into a car.

"Boss, it's almost settled." Xu Jiabao said respectfully, "One billion US dollars, leave it to us."

A bald ghost looked at Xu Jiabao expressionlessly, "What does he want?"

"He wants us to come up with a new preferential plan and have an explanation to his boss." Xu Jiabao carefully looked at the ghost in front of him, "I haven't talked about the benefits in private, I will talk about the tone again, probably not Too much."

Gui Lao nodded slightly, showing a satisfied expression, "Xu, you have done a good job. Next year the position of general manager will be yours."

"This is what I should do, Mr. Davis." Xu Jiabao said flattered, "Thank you for your promotion."

"You have to keep working hard and sell the wealth management products as soon as possible after the loan is released." Davis looked at Xu Jiabao sharply, "This billion-dollar loan needs to mobilize at least a pool of 50 billion U.S. dollars. What can you do?" Got it?"

"I will do my best!" Xu Jiabao nodded immediately.

"Very good." Davis pointed out, "You can go down now."

"Ah." Xu Jiabao's face froze, and then forced a smile, "Okay, goodbye Mr. Davis."

With a humble expression, Xu Jiabao said goodbye to Davis and got out of the car, watching the car drift away with a smile on his face.

"Fake!" Xu Jiabao spat hard at the disappearing car, "Damn you, one day I will climb on top of you and let you eat my exhaust gas."

Xu Jiabao felt resentful in his heart. If it wasn't for the ghost, how could HSBC have so many bad debts in the past two years, which made the bank insufficient funds, and there was a run on it a few months ago.

The run caused by the counterfeit dollar incident almost bankrupted HSBC.

Even the US Federal Reserve sent people to investigate and severely fined HSBC a large sum of money.

HSBC not only has to bear the loss of [-] million U.S. dollars in counterfeit banknotes, but also pays a huge fine.

Coupled with Hugeson's misappropriation of foreign exchange reserves, a series of heavy blows such as stock market server downtime.

It caused the entire banking and financial system of Hong Kong Island to collapse, and HSBC Bank spit blood on the ground under the attack of this combination punch.

If it hadn't been for the mainland side to take a sum of US dollars to the Hong Kong Island Monetary Authority, the financial system of Hong Kong Island would really be over.

Other banks have recovered, but HSBC is still lying on the ground.

When the Huang family borrowed 30 billion yuan to redeem someone, it was robbed. Huang Bancheng's family died simply, but the loan could not be recovered.

The Huang family's family business was quickly divided up by other tycoons on Hong Kong Island, and nothing was left behind. The remaining Huang family refused to admit it at all, and ran away with the seller's loose money.

All 30 billion was in vain, and then the underground vault was looted.

Coupled with the thunderstorm of usury, HSBC also lost a lot of money.

Why did HSBC lose money after the usury storm?

That's because usury companies don't use their own money to lend money, they also get money from banks.

HSBC really jumped in a hurry, so Xu Jiabao had no choice but to beg Luo Minsheng in a low voice.

It is really a last resort.

……

"Gentlemen, our company has been registered in the Virgin Islands and officially named Eden Biotechnology Company." Qin Yi raised his glass, "The company's first scientific research funds have been transferred to the account of the Institute of Biology. A total of $[-] million."

"The latest news from the research institute is that they will soon complete their phased goals. This will be a great breakthrough in the history of human science and technology."

The rich people present were all smiles, and the applause rang out.

Li Wenyao, a tycoon from Southeast Asia sitting in the front row, suddenly raised his hand and asked seriously, "Since we have achieved results, can we talk about investment and equity distribution?"

Qin Yi smiled, "Of course, we can talk now if you need it."

Zheng Jiakang, a rich man with heart disease, coughed a few times, and said with a smile, "If we don't talk about it now, when do you plan to talk about it?"

"I see that you are not at all active in our investment. You don't want to get rid of us and do it alone."

Qin Yi laughed, "Mr. Zheng misunderstood, I am not the kind of person who eats alone, I have always believed in making money together."

"I think in business, you need to be bold and ruthless, but you must be steady in doing things, otherwise how can you be worthy of investors."

"My plan is to wait for the research institute to officially produce results, and then talk to everyone about the investment. This way the risk will be less and it will be safer."

"It's safe." Li Wenyao sneered, "But at that time, the valuation of this project wouldn't be worth a billion dollars."

Many of these rich people are old fritters who fought in the mall, how can they not understand Qin Yi's thoughts.

Investing before the project fails and investing after it succeeds, the funds and shares are completely different.

Qin Yi didn't feel embarrassed at all, "I told everyone when I introduced it, this project is risky, and there will be a lot of continuous investment."

"I only need [-] million U.S. dollars in advance, just to test the water first, and then talk about it after some results."

"Now that the project has not yet produced results, everyone will add a second round of investment, which is very difficult."

"After all, it is one billion US dollars, not one billion yen. Everyone should be careful when investing."

"Difficult?!" Zheng Jiakang said with an unhappy expression, "Before you told us that in order to facilitate cooperation with the research institute, you established a special company."

"I recently heard that your company has been working overtime and sorting out various paperwork from top to bottom. Are you planning to go public?"

As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar in the hall, and the faces of the rich people present turned ugly.

Immediately stood up impatiently, and asked loudly: "Zhao, what do you mean?"

"Why didn't the company notify us of its intention to go public?"

"We are investors and shareholders! We have the right to know!"

"Where do you plan to go public? What is the valuation? How many shares do you plan to issue?"

"Don't tell me, Mr. Zheng, are you planning to keep it from us?"

Li Wenyao was even more furious, and directly accused the case, "How could the company go public without our approval?"

Qin Yi quickly raised his hand and pressed down, "Everyone, don't quarrel, don't get angry, and don't say anything that is not conducive to unity."

"The listing of the company is part of the plan. As I have said before, we can't just let everyone invest money, we must give everyone something in return."

"Of course, the company will not go public immediately, at least until everyone thinks it is appropriate."

The faces of the rich are only a little better, that's right.

Which market has not released the news yet, at least we have to wait until the news stirs up before talking about ringing the bell.

What's more, all of them together only accounted for 10% of the shares. How can you send beggars with such a small share?

At least we have to wait for them to take the bulk before talking about going public.

"What do you say in the second round?" Zheng Jiakang asked, "Now let's be honest and clear."

"The second round of valuation is 50 billion, and we plan to raise 40 billion to come in." Qin Yi raised four fingers, "Release [-]% of the equity."

"50?!"

The rich people present frowned. They were indeed optimistic about this project, but now they opened their mouths and said that the valuation was 50 billion. How could they believe it.

Qin Yi smiled after seeing the expressions of the rich people below, and said lightly: "I planned to talk about the second round of valuation after the results were produced, just to make this valuation more convincing."

"But everyone is a little impatient, so let me say it now."

"It's normal for everyone to have concerns without proof or proof." Qin Yi said with a smile, "It's okay, we're just talking about an intention now, and we need to discuss whether to vote or not."

"How do you want to discuss it?" Zheng Jiakang asked, frowning.

"Let's put the facts aside." Qin Yi raised five fingers, "Let's assume that this project is worth 50 billion, how do you want to invest?"

"Two billion US dollars is really too much." Li Wenyao was a little upset, "How much does each of us have to pay? Almost 20 million US dollars each."

Qin Yi chuckled, "All of you here are rich and powerful in Southeast Asia. Everyone is worth billions of dollars. It can be said that they are incomparably rich. To everyone, this [-] million dollars is just a hair in the sky. "

"Besides, the 40% of the shares are not all for everyone here." Qin Yi spread his hands, "20% of them have already been subscribed by others."

The people present were astonished. 20% of the shares are worth one billion US dollars. Who made such a big deal?

"It's true, I don't believe it!" Li Wenyao blurted out in surprise.

"The investment intention contract has been signed." Qin Yi took out a stack of materials, "For the sake of confidentiality, I won't show it to everyone, but I can tell you that the other party will transfer money into the company's account at any time .”

Zheng Jiakang raised his hand to stop other people from discussing, "In other words, we can only take 20% of the shares."

Qin Yi nodded, "After the second round of financing is over, we will start the listing plan immediately."

"We are planning to go public after the birth of the first cloned mammal. The goal is to release 10% of the outstanding shares on NASDAQ."

"The company's valuation is expected to exceed at least US$100 billion. At that time, we will plan to release good news step by step to increase the company's valuation."

$100 billion? !
The rich people present gasped.

"We are very optimistic about the market prospect, and we expect the company to reach more than 500 billion within ten years." Qin Yi said confidently, "The 21st century is the biological century, and the development of biotechnology will completely overcome human diseases. Under the trend, 500 billion US dollars is far from the value limit of the company.”

"Our goal is to make the company's market value reach 20 billion U.S. dollars within [-] years."

"Our plan is divided into five steps. The first step is to clone mammals sheep, pigs, and dogs; the second step is to clone primates; the third step is to clone and cultivate embryonic stem cells; the fourth step is organs; It's human embryo cloning."

"This is only the first ten-year plan, and the second ten-year plan will carry out gene editing projects."

Looking at Qin Yi's vigorous and beautiful vision on the podium, the rich people in the audience were full of excitement.

Overcoming diseases, good health, and a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars, how wonderful everything in the future will be.

Of course, the rich didn't start dreaming just after listening to Qin Yi's speech, they dreamed together with the good news that kept coming from the research institute.

Stimulated by the constant good news, it seems that Qin Yi's bright future is being realized step by step.

The future is within reach.

……

In the country, in a hospital in Edinburgh.

Hong Wengang slowly opened his eyes, and there was a regular "didi" sound from the heart monitor next to him.

How pleasant the mechanical monotonous sound sounded to him, it meant that his brother's heart was beating powerfully.

No, this heart is his now.

How beautiful it is to be alive.
