Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 653 0641 [Du Yongxiao's Ambition]

"Ahem, why did you say you were short of money?"

Rockefeller looked at Du Yongxiao in disbelief and almost choked to death again on his spit.

Others didn't know it, but Rockefeller knew very well that Du Yongxiao owned a catering company in Hong Kong and also owned a large real estate company, with annual profits of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars alone.

Not to mention, Du Yongxiao's Phoenix Pharmaceuticals in London and its branch in Los Angeles, USA, have annual profits of hundreds of millions of dollars!
  It can be said that To Yongxiao is the richest man of his age. Not only is he ranked high in Hong Kong, but he is also a role model for young people in the world.

How can such a person be short of money?
  Remus also looked at Du Yongxiao in astonishment, expressing his incomprehension for Du Yongxiao's reason.

Du Yongxiao didn't want to explain too much and said to Rockefeller: "Actually, I need [-] million US dollars now, but the maximum cash flow I have on hand is only [-] million US dollars."

"Yes, Hong Kong Hengchuang Real Estate, as well as the British Phoenix Pharmaceuticals, as well as the dividends here, etc., seem to be a lot in total, but a lot of that money has been used elsewhere. Specifically, I contracted the Hong Kong Police The cost of a team of [-] people, and in Kenya, an army was contracted——"

"Ahem!" Rockefeller was really about to choke to death this time. He looked at Du Yongxiao with wide eyes in disbelief, "You contracted the Kenyan army. What are you doing?"

"Be a warlord!"

"what?"

Rockefeller and Remus stared together.

Du Yongxiao spread his hands: "I have made a lot of investments in Africa, including gold mines, diamond mines, and oil - these investments must be supported and protected by the military, so you know -"

Next, Du Yongxiao briefly talked about what happened in Africa.

When he heard that Du Yongxiao contracted the army, checked and balanced the warlords, and finally grabbed a large amount of mining rights in Kenya, and could influence Kenya's political situation, Rockefeller was speechless.

Remus's eyes shone brightly, looking at Du Yongxiao as if he were looking at a myth or a legend.

"That's probably it!" Du Yongxiao spread his hands and said. He picked up the coffee and wanted to take a sip, but found that the coffee had already been drunk. He said: "Those investments take time, but what I lack now is time, so I need to cash out. A little money. After weighing it up, I decided to sell a certain share of Phoenix Pharmaceuticals to you! As for the price, the market price!"

Rockefeller's mind was spinning rapidly. He did not believe that what Du Yongxiao said was true.

He didn't have much contact with Du Yongxiao, but he knew that this young man was full of tricks. It must not be that simple if he was willing to cut his flesh this time.

But Du Yongxiao didn't want to talk, and he couldn't press him.

As a bystander, Remus was relatively sober and felt that the opportunity was rare, so he quickly reminded Rockefeller: "Mr. Locke, I think Mr. Du is really sincere in selling his shares this time. Since you are his friend, Yu Gong Everyone should help him."

Rockefeller immediately understood and said to Du Yongxiao with a smile: "Remus is right, you and I are friends and should help each other! But to buy that one at the market price... I have invested in many projects recently, and I don't have much money on hand. How much cash flow—"

Seeing that Rockefeller wanted to raise the price, Du Yongxiao directly blocked his throat with a sword: "In this case, then I might as well change the way and mortgage the shares to Chase Bank and take a loan - this way I can redeem it in the future, five million In US dollars, I can almost pay it off in two or three years!”

When Rockefeller heard this, he was stunned at first, and then immediately changed his mind: "Oh God, Du, you didn't understand what I meant. I didn't say I wouldn't help you! Yes, since you came to the door in person, I will help you no matter what." A helping hand! Since I don’t have that much cash on hand, I will also raise it from other places! Yes, don’t worry, I will definitely be able to do it!”

Du Yongxiao smiled, stood up and said, "Well then, you've got to work!"

"Yes, haha!" Rockefeller stood up with a smile, and began to calculate frantically in his mind, how many shares could be exchanged for five million US dollars from Du Yongxiao, [-]%, or [-]%?
  Du Yongxiao did not leave immediately at this moment, but looked at Remus next to him: "Mr. Remus, you just said that you used to work on Wall Street, right?"

Remus didn't understand why Du Yongxiao asked this, and immediately said: "Yes, I used to work there."

"Then do you know a man named Soros?" Du Yongxiao asked cautiously.

"Soros?" Remus was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Of course I know him! He is also well-known on Wall Street. He also established a fund company three years ago called Quantum Fund. I don't know what you are talking about, Mr. Du. Is it him?"

Du Yongxiao smiled, "Yes, it's him!"

……

For Du Yongxiao, in addition to entering the FBI to study this time in the United States, there are three other things to do. The first is to invest in Soros's Quantum Fund.

Du Yongxiao did not appreciate Soros as a person, especially when it came to some sensitive issues. Du Yongxiao even disliked Soros.

In fact, because of Soros's financial war and attacks on Hong Kong after [-] in the previous life, it made people and gods angry, and many Chinese people did not like him.

But these do not prevent Soros from being a financial tycoon, especially in financial investment.

In fact, it is not an exaggeration to call Soros the "most successful" hedge fund manager. Soros turned the $1969 he spent when he founded the Quantum Fund in 10 into $250 billion today, with an average annual growth rate of 20% and a total return of approximately 102000%.

The American media took a quick look and believed that such achievements could only be matched by the "stock god" Warren Buffett. Over the same period, Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway's book price per share increased by 135000%. From an ordinary Jewish immigrant from Hungary to becoming one of the richest people on the planet with a net worth of more than $145 billion, Soros has performed his dazzling investment legend.

In the early 10s, he took action against the British pound and made it withdraw from the European Exchange Rate Mechanism. He was called "the man who bankrupted the Bank of England" by the financial community. He made a profit of US$[-] billion.

Later, he launched an attack on the Mexican peso, causing Mexico's foreign exchange reserves to temporarily run out. The Mexican peso and stock market collapsed, and the Quantum Fund made huge profits.

Later, there was the famous Southeast Asian financial crisis. Soros directed and controlled the large-scale serial short selling of the currencies of Thailand and Malaysia. Southeast Asia almost became Soros's "cash machine."

Soros is also known as the "financial tycoon".

The then Prime Minister of Malaysia, Mahathir Mohamad, gnashed his teeth in hatred of Soros and accused Soros of having "the blood of Southeast Asian countries" on his hands. Soros responded: He only acted according to "market rules".

He even "coldly" reminded that countries with huge fatal loopholes in their financial systems should reflect on the "origin of the loopholes" and complain about the market to no avail.

Soros never regarded himself as a simple investor. He observed the market, the world, and human nature from a "philosopher's" perspective.

He originally named his fund "Quantum" because he believed that the securities market is like the physical quantum of particles. There cannot be fixed numbers, but there must be variables.

Soros proposed his famous "reflexivity theory" that is different from the "value investment theory" on the market, that is, investors' psychology and investment behavior will in turn affect the market value.

It can be said that in this era, Soros was one of the most successful financial investors in the United States and even the world.

……

"Mr. Remus, it's like this. I am very interested in Mr. Soros. If possible, I hope you can help introduce him!" Du Yongxiao said seriously.

Relos was stunned, "Your Excellency, if you want to get to know him, do you want to invest in his Quantum Fund?"

Du Yongxiao did not answer directly, but smiled and said: "I have a problem with investing. I like to invest in people, not companies."

Remus also laughed: "Then I'm afraid you will be disappointed. That Soros is not a popular guy. He has a bad temper, is arrogant and self-righteous--"

Since ancient times, literati have looked down upon each other, and the same is true in the United States.

Especially these Wall Street elites, each of them is extremely arrogant. They don't look down on anyone, and they all have eyes on the top of their heads.

Remus didn't appreciate Soros very much, and now he said a lot of bad things about Soros directly to Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao nodded without retorting. He just waited for Remus to finish speaking and then said, "Thank you for reminding him, but I still want to see him."

Seeing Du Yongxiao's insistence, Remus nodded helplessly, "Okay then, I'll help you make an appointment with him - he has a weird personality. If I hadn't known him, I'm afraid it would be difficult for you to meet him in person."

"Thank you in advance!"

"You're welcome!"

After Du Yongxiao solved the problem of meeting with Soros, he spoke a few words with Rockefeller before standing up to say goodbye.

Rockefeller took Remus to see Du Yongxiao out in person. After Du Yongxiao got on the elevator, the two returned to the office.

"Remus, what do you think Du Yongxiao did for cashing out so much money?" Rockefeller sat behind his desk and tapped his fingers on the table. "It just so happened that he asked you to help introduce the person named Soros. Could it be that - ——”

Soros paused: "Could it be that he wants to invest in the other party's fund company?"

"Impossible!" Remus shook his head and said: "As far as I know, when Soros established the Quantum Fund, the total amount was only [-] US dollars. Du Yongxiao just cashed out [-] million, how could he invest so much?"

Remus firmly did not believe that Du Yongxiao would invest so much money in Soros.

Besides, Quantum Fund has been established for less than three years, and many Wall Street tycoons are not very optimistic about it. Compared with some other large fund companies, its reporting rate is not outstanding.

Rockefeller nodded, then shook his head: "Maybe besides this, he has other investments!"

"Uh, another investment?"

"Yes!" Rockefeller sighed, "Anyway, I can't see through this Du Yongxiao!"
