Chapter 426

In the world, just because you explain the reasoning clearly doesn't mean others will truly agree with your viewpoint.

Some people, used to being high and mighty, arrogantly believe they have great face.

The matter did not subside because of Yang Qing's talk; instead, it showed a trend of escalating further.

Yang Qing didn't care at all, continuing to do as he pleased.

On one hand, he stepped up the acquisition of real estate land and construction-related industries.

On the other hand, he had people secretly manipulate the acquisition of various stocks.

In this era, the total number of freely tradable shares in the entire stock market amounted to only a few billion.

(Now the stocks have fallen to shit; as for how to buy low, that's also a skill: it's about selling low while secretly buying, suppressing the stock price while increasing positions—not the mindless buying in ordinary novels, since abnormal trading is easily spotted, and nobody is an idiot, right?)

Moreover, Yang Qing not only had two money‑sucking monsters, but also Hui Feng was gradually being granted higher financing authority.

Plus his own Great Song Bank.

Funds can be said to be quite abundant.

To facilitate investment, Yang Qing also established a Xuanwu Investment.

Tian Guoli also served as General Manager.

Under the operation of abundant funds, the quality assets Yang Qing held kept increasing.

Of the four major foreign firms, he snatched more than a ten percent stake.

Since there is no disclosure system yet, no one now knows that Yang Qing has become a big moneybags.

Faced with such a huge flow of funds, Tian Guoli felt his heart pounding.

Watching money turn into sheet after sheet of stock certificates (back then Gangdao still used paper stock certificates), he was even more terrified and anxious.

"General Manager Yang, if any mishap occurs with this money, we could go bankrupt overnight."

"We must guard against the 65 matter."

"Those Yinglian people will surely not let this opportunity slip."

Yang Qing patted his shoulder.

"Feel free to use it; the loan contract I signed with Hui Feng is for three years, just pay interest on schedule each year."

"After three years, as long as we provide proof of assets, we can continue to extend it."

"With Many Stars, Must-win Guest, Jingmen in hand, you needn't worry; other people's money, whether we have large-scale deposit absorption or not, there is no risk of a bank run."

"Moreover, Vast Sea Precision Engineering is expanding its scale; the workers we have will soon number over ten thousand."

"They just want to move against us, but they'll have to think twice."

Tian Guoli felt somewhat relieved.

He then added.

"General Manager Yang, if our bank wants to develop, staying here is absolutely not an option."

"Safety is a major issue; sooner or later someone will discover that we are storing huge amounts of wealth here."

"My suggestion is to build our own vault."

The vault is the top priority for banks of this era.

Swiss banks, moreover, relied on underground sturdy air-raid shelters to create world-class secure vaults, providing an important guarantee for their rapid development.

Safety became the trump card of Swiss banks.

Looking at Great Song Bank again, it's simply appalling; nowadays hardly anyone knows this place is a bank.

Yang Qing nodded.

"Recently, Imperial City obtained a 67-mu plot of land in Zhong Huan."

"They plan to build six office towers and ten residential buildings."

"One of them will serve as the headquarters of Great Song Bank, three built as an integrated design for a commercial plaza, and the remaining two are planned to become office buildings."

Having said that, he didn't stop, muttering.

"You can first design and build your bank's office building."

"The rest can come slowly; twenty years, thirty years, as long as it gets built, that's fine."

Upon hearing about the 67 mu of land, Tian Guoli instantly became excited, seeing it as a sign that he could work in Zhong Huan.

That is, because land prices are cheap now and the unstable situation deters buyers, Yang Qing snapped up a bargain, paying over twenty million to acquire it. (Nowadays, ordinary areas cost only two or three hundred per square meter, while prime Central-Western districts go for five or six hundred, which is really cheap.)

This made Yang Qing extremely excited.

Yang Qing patted Tian Guoli's shoulder and instructed.

"Take advantage of the current chaos; try to see if you can acquire some shares from individuals."

"Especially Yingzi's shares—take as many as you can, don't be polite."

"Also go find Hu Lianxi and see if it's possible to establish a Chinese securities exchange."

"If possible, that would be best; then we wouldn't have to sneak around and worry about leaks."

"If not, look for people who have this idea, push them from behind, let them help us blaze a trail, and once they succeed, establish our exchange as quickly as possible."

Tian Guoli kept this in mind; with the Zhong Huan building as a foundation, his enthusiasm reached an unprecedented high.

His whole body seemed as if he had taken a stimulant.

"General Manager Yang, rest assured; I now feel as if I've been injected with chicken blood, my whole body brimming with strength."

Speaking of injecting chicken blood, Yang Qing recalled something.

"It seems that injecting chicken blood has become popular among rabbits, starting this year."

This matter should be kept in mind; when the time comes, we'll criticize it a bit, but the outcome will depend on fate.

If we were to say which of Yang Qing's enterprises is the busiest right now, it would undoubtedly be Imperial City.

During this period, his properties suffered from being soft-handed.

Not to mention Shallow Water Bay, Deep Water Bay, even on Victoria Peak in Central and Western, he has bought several properties.

This area used to be the Yinglian people's reserved land, and even now most of it is still in their hands.

If it weren't for Gangdao becoming increasingly unstable, no one would be selling.

After arriving at the Imperial City, Wang Lin was so busy his feet never touched the ground.

Seeing Yang Qing, they immediately pulled him into the office.

"Manager Yang, gunfire broke out at the border, and on our side forty to fifty people have died."

"Right now in our reception room, a large number of Yinglian people are selling properties."

"Nowadays, across the whole island, maybe only we are buying."

"Manager Yang, is this really okay? Don't..."

Without letting him continue, Yang Qing firmly said.

"Buy, not just buy, but buy aggressively."

"These Yinglian folks have been holding onto the best properties, not selling; now they're anxious, which is exactly our best opportunity."

"We must not only buy, but also halt other operations and devote all efforts to buying."

"If funds are insufficient, go to Jingmen members for financing, go to Shunfeng Express for financing."

"Go find those big shots..."

"Forget it, I'll handle these myself."

"You don't need to worry about money; just focus on buying—once this village is passed, there will be no such shop."

Once the gunfire starts, Dai Lin Zhi will likely be scared stiff, and we believe he will soon initiate negotiations.

At most two months, this conflict will be over—time is truly short.

Once the negotiations show signs, Li Changjiang and the others will likely take action.

How could the future Four Great Families be so slow-witted?

With Yang Qing's decision, Wang Lin's pounding heart also gradually calmed.

He is an insider; if everything goes smoothly, he can already foresee the birth of a colossus.

A colossus second to none among foreign firms.

Moreover, unlike other families, he has little to no ties with foreign firms.

Yang Qing truly relied on himself, step by step, to get where he is today.

Moreover, the speed of his rise left those people no time to react.

By the time they reacted, Yang Qing had already become a formidable force.

It's not that just anyone who wants to act can do so.
