Chapter 1071: Chapter 122: Only Inviting Two to the Silver Party, You Can’t Make It! _2

I want to ask if I plan to inject some assets into Shanhaiguan to increase my shareholding ratio, are there any restrictions from the HK regulatory authorities, and what kind of restrictions exist?”

HK’s backdoor listing rules are very obnoxious; they’re unique worldwide.

They limit the proportion of overall asset injection after the acquisition to the original shell company’s market value, so Shanhaiguan can only get a little over seventy percent of the shares.

If it weren’t for the low threshold of the HK capital market and its proximity to Shanhaiguan’s primary market in the Mainland, Mr. Cheng would actually prefer to list Shanhaiguan in America.

Now, to maintain his control within Shanhaiguan and avoid being undermined by clueless ambitious people, Mr. Cheng needs to inject assets into Shanhaiguan as soon as possible.

This sort of thing cannot wait until it is really listed; it needs to be prepared in advance.

“Restrictions on asset injection? Yes, there are, probably….”

The Nanhua manager was quite professional, educating Mr. Cheng on how he should proceed next.

“Knock, knock.”

Cheng Daqi looked up in confusion and said.

“Please come in?”

Lisa, with Ah Zhao, pushed open the soundproof door of the meeting room at Pacific Mountain Villa and came in.

The manager of Nanhua Capital saw the signs from Mr. Cheng’s expression; he chose to say nothing and tactically picked up the teacup on the table to drink water.

“Let’s leave it here for today. Please make a plan for me; I intend to inject assets worth one billion to maintain absolute equity as soon as possible.”

Cheng Daqi instructed a couple of sentences; he didn’t even need to see off the guest himself. The Nanhua manager quickly rolled away.

That’ll do, the young rich kid is eager to start the silver party; he understands.

HK’s transformation during economic industry shifts turned it from a re-export trade city into a financial city, creating countless wealth legends and countless silver party maniacs.

Compared to those silver party maniacs, Mr. Cheng only calls two for his silver party, seemingly not quite up to par.

—————–

“Why did you suddenly come? I just arrived here today and planned to see you tomorrow.”

Zhao Hongjin’s sudden appearance left Mr. Cheng a bit unsure of how to cope.

“I heard from Lisa that you were here.”

Ah Zhao stood at the door and said in a complicated tone.

She had a good relationship with the blonde girl; accurately speaking, the blonde girl had a good relationship with everyone.

Lisa’s social ability is different from Benny’s; Benny is like a slippery eel in a muddy pit, accepting everything, while Lisa focuses on maintaining her social circle due to her character.

This is a classic personality of American white women; Mi’er, the eccentric one, is the minority.

Lisa shrugged aside and made a funny face at Mr. Cheng, meaning she didn’t expect Zhao Hongjin to suddenly rush over either.

Mr. Cheng’s love life is quite strange, at least of his relationship with Ah Zhao, Lisa couldn’t understand.

“Alright, have a seat first.”

Cheng Daqi replaced the tea set used for hosting the Nanhua Capital manager and brewed a new round for the two ladies.

“So, how does it feel to be a billionaire?”

Following Shanhaiguan’s listing, as the first internet celebrity and executive assistant in Shanhaiguan, Zhao Hongjin’s option was nearly enough for her to cross the billionaire threshold.

If Shanhaiguan’s market value continues to expand in the future, she will become even wealthier.

Why are listings considered the pinnacle of life and career by so many people anyway? Isn’t it because this thing can indeed rake in cash?

Of course, Mr. Cheng didn’t plan to rake in that bit of money; he mostly saw Shanhaiguan as a platform for financing.

Cashing out or whatnot, such tactics were too low-level.

“Did you anticipate the Family Good Items situation from the beginning?”

Lo and behold what he feared happened; Mr. Cheng always preferred having multiple objectives with one action, shooting several birds with one arrow, but it always came with a price.

For example—taking advantage of a friend’s kindness for self-interest, which eventually got discovered by the friend.

“I’m not God, Ah Zhao, I’m actually very regretful about the Family Good Items issue.

But think about it, if it was never a problem, then we wouldn’t have had to clean up the mess, wouldn’t we?”

Mr. Cheng: Sister, the outcome is good.

For a good outcome, using bad means to achieve the result.

Nicely put, it can be seen as ‘I have a clear conscience, what more can be said’.

Not so nicely put, it’s also called ‘by hook or by crook, all in’. ”

The sole difference lies in the outcome, and from Mr. Cheng’s perspective, the current outcome is good, which is enough.

“I don’t believe you didn’t plan ahead; since your last return, when you interacted with Family Good Items’ people, you began paving the way for Shanhaiguan’s listing.

Now, half of Shanhaiguan’s valuation comes from the MCN business, and the other half from social e-commerce business, yet it has inflated over sixty billion.

What is this, using me to make money and then telling me it’s for justice, my justice that you’ve sold?”

Ah Zhao argued with Mr. Cheng in Mandarin, which Lisa couldn’t understand, but language is just that; she understood they were having an argument through the changes in their tones.

Lisa, caught in the middle, could only play ostrich, just like the Nanhua manager who had left, and started studying the tea for the night.

You argue, I wander, and casually sip some tea.

“Business actions should not involve so many emotional factors; the rules of the market and moral rules are two different things. I thought you’d understand this fundamental distinction.”

Some things can be ambiguous, but this sort of issue Ah Zhao demanded clarity, considering not to break them apart. Mr. Cheng could only diligently explain.

Did he do it?

He did.

Was it a mistake?

He didn’t think he was wrong.

This obstinacy or rather persistence is actually another form of ‘staying true to original aspirations, remembering the clear mission’.
