Chapter 2593: Millionaire

Xiangjiang Stock Exchange!

At this moment, the exchange could be described as bustling with noise and excitement. The entire trading hall was packed to the point of being impassable. Looking around, one could only see a sea of black heads. Moreover, most people's faces revealed expressions of ecstasy and excitement.

The matter of Xurisheng going public in Xiangjiang had been revealed as early as last October when Zhou Andong was in Xiangjiang. It was just that, compared to the news of Xurisheng, a company from the mainland, landing on the Xiangjiang stock market, the Xiangjiang media seemed more interested in Zhou Andong himself. Therefore, the relevant news was naturally limited.

It wasn't until the Japanese manufacturing industry exploded with a shocking thunderclap and Japan broke out in a serious financial crisis that Xiangjiang Qiudongfang suddenly announced to the outside world that Xurisheng Group Chairman Zhou Andong had spent 4.3 billion US dollars to acquire 13.6% of Sony's shares, becoming the fourth-largest shareholder of the multinational giant. The news was like a giant stone thrown into the water, spreading rapidly to every corner of Xiangjiang like a thousand layers of waves, causing an uproar.

For a time, countless Xiangjiang citizens were astonished and could not accept it. After all, the impression the mainland had given them had always been relatively poor and backward; how could it nurture such a giant merchant?

Moreover, being able to take out 4.3 billion US dollars to acquire Sony's shares, this mainland tycoon named Zhou Andong—the wealth he possessed was probably not inferior to the four major families.

Of course, there was a small minority who knew very well that any one of the four major families couldn't just take out 4.3 billion in cash. Therefore, the wealth of this tycoon from the mainland, Zhou Andong, had definitely exceeded any one of the four major families.

At this time, whether it was the Xiangjiang media or ordinary Xiangjiang citizens, they all became interested in Xurisheng, this beverage enterprise from the mainland, and began to pay attention to it.

Coupled with the unremitting and almost crazy vigorous promotion and publicity by several celebrity shareholders with great influence such as Andy Lau, Xurisheng's reputation in the whole of Xiangjiang became bigger and bigger, and its popularity climbed steadily.

Subsequently, Iced Bing Hong Cha and Very Cola landed in the Xiangjiang market, and the overwhelming advertisements instantly swept across the whole of Xiangjiang, filling every corner of the lives of Xiangjiang citizens, and the sales of Iced Bing Hong Cha and Very Cola also began to rise steadily.

When Old Man Man led the team to arrive in Xiangjiang and officially started the roadshow, Jiandong International and Xiangjiang Qiudongfang also began to exert their strength, starting a crazy mode, spending money regardless of cost, used for various forms of marketing promotion.

For a time, the streets and alleys of Xiangjiang, which were already bustling, became even more noisy and chaotic. Whether it was buses, taxis, or walls, as well as TV stations, newspapers, magazines, and even gossip tabloids, they were all performing a thrilling, jaw-dropping super feast belonging to Xurisheng Iced Bing Hong Cha and Very Cola.

No matter what time, no matter where you are, no matter what you are doing, as long as you look up, or pick up a newspaper at random, or turn on the TV...

In short, no matter when or where, in whatever place, you would be surrounded by that omnipresent, overwhelming Xurisheng Iced Bing Hong Cha and Very Cola advertisement.

Facing this crazy brainwashing offensive from all directions, Xiangjiang citizens had no way to avoid it, nowhere to escape, and could only helplessly choose to accept this crazy brainwashing offensive from all directions and deeply remember the name Xurisheng.

On the day Xurisheng rang the bell and went public, the Stock Exchange located in the Xiangjiang International Finance Center ushered in unprecedented passenger flow. The spectacle of the scene could not be said to be unprecedented, but it was rare.

And the retail investors who poured into the Stock Exchange today, at least half of them were here for Xurisheng's stock. As the stock code and initial price of Xurisheng stock were displayed on the big screen in the morning, it rose in a straight line as if it had sat on a rocket.

Those retail investors who originally didn't intend to buy Xurisheng stock were suddenly stimulated by the astonishing rise in front of them. Unable to suppress the impulse in their hearts, they followed the trend and placed orders one after another.

At the same time, some retail investors who already held the stock saw that the situation was excellent and couldn't wait to add to their investment. Driven by these people, those who were still watching also couldn't bear it and began to snap up Xurisheng stock.

In this way, Xurisheng stock became the most eye-catching super dark horse on the Xiangjiang Stock Exchange. Stimulated by this, more and more retail investors joined this crazy snap-up craze...

In the VIP client room of the Stock Exchange, Man Hongshan hung up the phone and said to Alice and Yuan Wanqi: "The boss said he will give each of us a big red envelope."

Alice and Yuan Wanqi smiled at each other. The boss had never been stingy with them. Their salaries and bonuses added together were definitely top-notch in the industry.

But in their view, this was what they deserved. After all, they had put in the labor and brought benefits to the boss, so it was only right and proper for them to take salaries and bonuses.

But this time, Xurisheng went public, and they also received allotment shares, which was what surprised and moved them. After all, Xurisheng had nothing to do with them, and the boss giving them shares was recognition and importance attached to their work.

"Let's go!" Yuan Wanqi smiled and said: "I've already booked a position at the hotel, let's celebrate a little first."

"OK!" Alice agreed readily.

Man Hongshan naturally had no objection. With a wave of his hand, he said to his secretary and the team he brought: "We're going to eat."

Alice also nodded to Wang Ting, who had become her assistant, and led the dozen or so people from Jiandong International out, while Yuan Wanqi led the people from Xiangjiang Qiudongfang and walked at the end.

An old man with white hair but a strong aura, plus two outstandingly tempered beauties, one Chinese and one foreign, wearing professional attire, appeared in the trading hall with a group of men and women who looked like workplace elites, causing a commotion.

Someone recognized Man Hongshan and shouted out: "That's the Executive Director and President of Xurisheng, I've seen him on the news."

"I've also seen that foreign girl on the news, she is the President of British Jiandong International and also a shareholder of Xurisheng."

"Who is the woman beside them? Why haven't I seen her?"

"That woman is called Yuan Wanqi, she is the President of Xiangjiang Qiudongfang."

"..."

Listening to the noisy and clamorous discussion, an old man and the two women beside him appeared exceptionally calm. Not a ripple could be seen on their faces, as if they couldn't hear the noisy discussion around them at all.

But the staff following behind them couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts. Being able to come to Xiangjiang with the boss undoubtedly proved that they were either senior executives of the company or industry elites. Each of them held Xurisheng shares to a greater or lesser extent.

Especially the people from Xurisheng, at this moment, each of them had become a millionaire. This sudden arrival of wealth made them feel heart-pounding and blood-boiling.

However, Man Hongshan didn't know that at this very moment, in another large client room, Lian Xiangzhi was standing quietly in front of the blinds. His sinister gaze was fixed on Man Hongshan, Alice, and Yuan Wanqi, who were being surrounded by twenty or thirty people and leaving. ===== CHAPTER 2594 =====
