Chapter 496: with translation of chapter title

Qiao Bu Si never imagined that in Gangdao someone had already used his idea.

Yang Qing also didn't expect that when Many Stars handed over the documents, he would see the Apple brand.

This butterfly effect finally proved useful.

Apple is used in rotation; this year it's at my home.

All the heavens and myriad worlds can use it; why can't we?

We'll just use it.

He put Many Stars' matter aside and started looking into the affairs of Xuanwu Investment Bank.

According to their monitoring, recently someone has been absorbing shares of the Yang Family enterprise.

The amount is not large, but the continuity is strong.

It seems someone has set their sights on the Yang Family's shares, and it's also possible someone has set their sights on the Yang Family's business.

Yang Qing called Lin Cong over.

Lin Cong is the Manager of Xuanwu Investment Bank, someone who joined the bank from the day it opened.

Although his résumé isn't particularly impressive, he is down-to-earth and eager to learn.

He started as a trader and step by step rose to the Manager's position; at Xuanwu Investment Bank, hardly anyone has any objections.

Clearly, this person's ability is still quite strong.

Lin Cong came to Yang Qing's office, as if he knew what Yang Qing wanted to ask.

"Yang Qing, this is the data we obtained from the Blue Dragon Exchange."

"The other two exchanges, because they don't have our Yang Family's shares, have no statistics."

Yang Qing opened it and saw that indeed someone had been continuously increasing their position.

He also saw an old acquaintance, Cao Gu Shen.

It seems there are many smart people; reverse operation is not his exclusive patent, others can learn it too.

"How about our position situation?"

Lin Cong then produced another document.

"Besides the 30% unchanged shares you hold, Yang Qing, Xuanwu Investment Bank has repurchased about 10%, Great Song Bank has increased its holdings by about 50%, and employees of various companies have voluntarily increased their holdings by about 50%. In the company's name, each company has also repurchased about 10%."

"The company's share situation is good."

"No sniping risk."

Now the Hang Seng Index is only over two hundred points; where does the risk come from? The company's share price is at a historical low.

"Over the next year, in my father's name, increase holdings a bit, but don't exceed the disclosure threshold."

"In my mother's name, increase holdings a part, likewise don't exceed the disclosure threshold."

"And my wife, the same operation."

"Don't stop the company's repurchase; go slowly, little by little, so as not to cause too much market fluctuation."

"Just use the proceeds from selling the one billion shares of the oil company, and operate the cash slowly."

"Now the banking regulator is getting stricter; watch out for privatization risks and ensure listing eligibility."

"Also, control the company's stock curve well, try to avoid large fluctuations, and rise flexibly."

"Under normal circumstances, we want shareholders to make money, except in a Stock Crash."

Lin Cong thought for a moment and then reminded.

"Yang Qing, I feel that among these people there are traces of other institutions."

"According to industry experience, some foreigners are very good at playing the long game."

Afterward he spoke in a low voice.

"Just like Hui Feng, which started as a small bank but gradually became Gangdao's central bank."

"These people are very good at hiding; you can't see them in ordinary times, but their traces are everywhere."

Yang Qing thought and immediately knew who he was referring to.

He furrowed his brows, thinking about the matter.

These people do things very covertly, with a hint of silently nourishing things without a sound.

Indeed, we need to be careful.

Who knows, maybe one day they'll hit you with something you can't bear.

"Monitor these people's movements closely."

"If their total holdings exceed 10%, I need us to have absolute control."

"I'm talking about Xuanwu; the sum of the shares I hold and those held by my family needs to have absolute control."

Afterward he spoke again solemnly.

"Originally I also wanted to list Xuanwu, but now it seems better not to list it."

"You should register more offshore companies and conduct refined management of some high-quality stocks."

"Guard against policy-related risks."

"Try to register some companies in every tax haven."

"Also, we should learn from those people and try to keep a low profile as well."

Yang Qing patted his head.

"Xuanwu has probably already caught the eye of many people."

"Or we should just register another investment company."

"Specifically, through cross-shareholding, to conceal family assets."

Lin Cong let out a sigh of relief; he had almost become the Yang Family's accountant.

Compared to the Yang Family accounting office, he would rather be the manager of Black Tortoise Investment Bank.

Working in the Yang Family accounting office means knowing too much, and one will inevitably become deeply tied to the Yang Family.

The benefits are good, but there will also be many restrictions.

"Okay Manager Yang, but Manager Yang, this matter needs Manager Yang to handle it personally, or find someone absolutely trustworthy to do it."

"Since it's concealed property, the fewer people who know, the better."

"It's best to have family members do it."

Yang Qing heard Lin Cong's words, realized, he was avoiding conflict of interest, meaning he had no intention of taking that position.

Yang Qing sighed, talent is really scarce.

Moreover, he doesn't understand these things; he simply can't pull off such a huge project on his own.

Take it slow.

Finding someone trustworthy is not that easy.

Go ask Zhao Man Ting whether among the people they've trained there is such talent.

That day, returning home, Yang Qing told Zhao Man Ting about the matter.

Zhao Man Ting furrowed her brows.

"Nowadays there are very few who train people in this area."

"Today's society is too free, and the accounting office handles too much money, plus secret accounts—there are too many complications."

"Only our own people can do it, and they must be trusted by the family head."

"I can keep the accounts, I'll do it for now."

"Wait until you find someone trustworthy and without any conflicts of interest, then we'll talk."

Yang Qing rubbed his aching head; this is too complex, they have no experience at all—others have spent thousands of years to master this technique, and he's just a novice.

Moreover, judging from Zhao Man Ting's meaning, she wants to use the clan elder model to manage the Yang Family.

That is, the clan elder owns everything, and everyone else serves the clan elder.

Yang Qing does not like this approach.

The clan elder model involves too much scheming, and for the sake of profit-seeking, they will do many unscrupulous things.

Put bluntly, it's a feudal aristocratic system.

Yang Qing thought it over.

"Or we could just set up a family office."

"Property belongs to the family, not to any individual."

"Anyone with ideals can obtain support from the family."

"Likewise, those who succeed in entrepreneurship must give back to the family."

"The family office only handles property management, not actual management, and must not hold any controlling stake in any company."

"If in the future all of the Yang Family's people are good-for-nothings, or everyone only likes fighting for power and profit, then let the Yang Family disband."

"Property should instead go into the hands of those who can use it well, rather than being hoarded."
