Chapter 485: Taking Stock

Azure Rainbow Media has stabilized.

Yang Qing, not one to do things by halves, began pushing for Eternal Splendor Manufacturing to go public.

What best stabilizes people's hearts? Of course, going public—listed companies are still prestigious nowadays.

May 2.

Eternal Splendor Manufacturing rang the bell.

On the same day, Eternal Splendor's new film studio was fully completed and entered use.

Great Song Bank handled the issuance, listing on the Azure Dragon Securities Exchange.

Total share capital 1 billion shares, financing 300 million shares.

Eternal Splendor Manufacturing's listing caused a huge sensation in Gangdao.

This could be a company with annual profits exceeding a hundred million US dollars.

It still holds a large amount of film and television copyrights.

It works closely with Hailaowu.

It possesses two international superstars.

Originally there were two and a half, but Xiang Qiang fled, leaving only two.

A superior asset among quality assets.

Opening price 3.5, closing price 5.

One Eternal Splendor equals one foreign trading house.

The Yang family's wealth has already crushed the four major trading houses.

Moreover, this time Eternal Splendor raised over 10 billion Hong Kong dollars in financing.

It let those with ill intentions instantly lower their flags and cease drumming.

The power of money is forever more terrifying than you imagine.

One billion funds are enough for Eternal Splendor to sweep clean Gangdao's film and television world.

Mai Li became even more wary.

The four major trading houses also became vigilant toward the Yang family.

After Chen Ziqiang received this portion of money, he began a forceful invasion of entertainment circles across East Asian countries.

He aims to tightly link the entertainment industries of all East Asian countries.

Only thus can Eternal Splendor's risk resistance be enhanced.

The three Koreans, living comfortably, WanDao, Malaysia, Singapore-Malaysia, Thailand, Luzon……

Either acquiring or establishing, one after another Azure Rainbow Entertainment companies were set up.

Azure Rainbow's maneuvers left the people of Gangdao staring agape.

You're still fighting to the death over people in this tiny Gangdao,

while others have already gone global.

How does this work? Keep up?

The entertainment waters are deep, and there are many political factors to consider; they lack the guts.

May 7.

Qin Huairu gave birth, another boy.

Yang Qing suspected Zhao Man Ting had given him some medicine; otherwise, how could it be another male?

Yang Qing again attended to her for several days.

This seems to have become an unspoken rule: giving birth, Yang Qing must be present and also bear the responsibility of attending to his own woman.

Yang Qing didn't say much more; it's only right that one's own woman be cared for by oneself.

June 6.

The foundational layer of the Three Gods Palace in the Imperial City has already been built; construction proceeds upward, ten days per level, about three years to completion.

On the same day, the Imperial City rang the gong for its listing.

Total share capital 1 billion, financing 300 million shares.

Opening price 3, closing price 5.2.

The Imperial City possesses abundant high-quality property and land resources; crucially, it still has under it three listed companies: Xin Hong Company, Milk Company, and Junyi Warehouse.

Thus Yang Qing now has in hand:

1 Headline Daily, latest market value 1.6 billion.

2 Milk Company, latest market value 16 billion.

3 Junyi Warehouse, latest market value 15 billion.

4 Pizza Hut, latest market value 18 billion.

5 Numerous Stars Electrical Appliances, latest market value 25 billion.

6 Xin Hong, latest market value 7.6 billion.

7 Great Song Bank, latest market value 18 billion.

8 Eternal Splendor Manufacturing, latest market value 57 billion.

9 Imperial City, encompassing Milk Company, Junyi Warehouse, Xin Hong, latest market value 52 billion.

1.6+18+25+57+52+18=171.6 billion.

Yang Qing has already become the richest person in Gangdao.

The listings of Eternal Splendor Manufacturing and the Imperial City caught many in Gangdao off guard.

Previously Yang Qing kept a low profile; they didn't know, nor did they have that concept.

Now this person isn't hiding anymore, they just laid their cards bare.

Although his actual assets might only be twenty or thirty billion.

But the stock market is the stock market; even if it's virtual, it can still be cashed out.

He's just that badass now.

The money he raised from the stock market far exceeds his actual assets.

"Damn, over a hundred billion?"

"No way, that's not more money than the four major foreign banks?"

"That's too extravagant."

The news of Yang Qing becoming the richest person caused a huge stir in Gangdao.

This dealt another major blow to those restless people.

Yang Qing's rise was too fast; before they could react, the Yang Family had already grown into a towering tree.

Some people with dark ideas, after experiencing the violence of Great Wall Security, immediately gave up those improper thoughts.

They can actually carry heavy weapons.

After Mai Li found out, he was frightened and immediately inspected Great Wall Security's procedures.

Everything is reasonable and compliant.

But what the hell kind of weapon is this?

Mai Li brought in the people for approval.

Ma Ke isn't worried at all.

He is confident and justified.

"Governor, it was approved back then by Governor Dailin Zh, and they have a bank that needs armed escort, which is reasonable."

"Bullshit."

Mai Li flew into a rage.

"Then why do they still have heavy weapons? Give me an explanation."

Ma Ke said matter-of-factly.

"Governor, armed escort and carrying automatic weapons is reasonable, right?"

"Hui Feng's escort also has heavy weapons."

"Is it the same? Is it the same? Damn, the central bank of Gangdao's guard is a bit stronger—shouldn't that be expected?"

"What does Da Song Bank rely on?"

"Just who the hell is Yang Qing, to infiltrate the Hong Fu so thoroughly?"

"Go and revoke their heavy weapons license; I don't care what method you use."

Ma Ke had a laid-back attitude.

"Governor, I'm afraid I cannot comply."

"The other side is reasonable and legal; we have no authority to revoke."

"Moreover, they also have a license registered in Haojing."

"It was done with Beifang's consent."

"Governor, you surely aren't unaware of who calls the shots in Haojing these days, are you?"

"On the surface it's grapes, but in reality it's already under Beifang's control."

Mai Li felt as disgusted as if he had eaten a fly.

"What the hell, is Great Wall Security a rabbit used just to disgust them?"

"Is it because of the conflict a few years ago?"

He swallowed that anger hard.

He shouted angrily again.

"From now on, thoroughly examine Great Wall Security's qualifications."

"Seize the opportunity and immediately cancel its heavy weapons license."

"Best to just dissolve the security company."

He knew it was impossible; Yang Qing has become too big to fail, and who knows how many people in the Hong Fu he has infiltrated.

"Damn, I'm convinced."

Ma Ke accepted the order and left.

But Ma Ke still isn't worried at all.

But Ma Ke still isn't worried at all.

Azure Cloud arranged everything clearly.

All from legitimate sources.

"I make some money from stock trading; what's the problem?"

"I buy some property and make money; is that a problem?"

"No problem, totally no problem, everything is reasonable and legal."

All he wants to do is not cause trouble for the Great Wall.

Moreover, many people in Gangdao are now trading stocks and buying property.

"Who can say anything?"

Azure Cloud Company's approach is far more sophisticated than what those gang members do.

Even in later generations, most people just turn a blind eye.

A place called Great Grace City, nobody knows how many people it has made rich.

The stock market is full of this stuff; if it could go up, that would be weird.

Most importantly, they also know this money is dirty, so they dare not keep it domestically; most of it has been transferred abroad.

Great Grace City was supposed to create value for everyone, but the money all went out, hollowing out the stock market's financing capacity.

Instead, it became a financial worm.

Such a platform was originally meant to replenish blood, but ended up sucking blood.

Even if it shuts down, that would be better than its continued existence.
