"Mr. Lu, I heard from Zhe Kai that you’re planning to set up Tianxing Quantitative in Xiangjiang."

During the casual chat, Superman Li brought up the topic, and Lu Liang nodded: "I do have that idea, which is why I’m here to learn from you all and understand the local policies."

Li Zheju smiled and said: "Mr. Lu, you’re too modest. If you showed any intention outwardly, I’m sure Ms. Zheng would personally visit you in Modu."

"Let’s talk business. Tianxing chose Xiangjiang as the headquarters for the international quantitative fund mainly because Xiangjiang is the nation’s sole financial port open to the world."

Lu Liang smiled, knowing who Ms. Zheng was, the current leader in Xiangjiang, although he wasn’t much interested in politics.

The Li family father and sons exchanged a glance, understanding Lu Liang’s intention and knew he didn’t want to use it as political capital.

Tianxing contributes at least a billion in taxes annually to Modu, and a larger quantitative fund would only contribute more.

If Lu Liang intended to get involved in Xiangjiang politics, he could easily create a rising star in politics.

Li Zhikai said: "Mr. Lu, with a share of thirty billion, I plan to arrange it like this. Would you like to hear my proposal?"

Lu Liang nodded, and upon hearing, Li Zhikai divided the thirty billion share into ten parts, among the Zheng, Guo, Li families, and others like He and Ho.

In the end, Li Zhikai smiled bitterly: "Mr. Lu, actually there are many others who hope to make money with you."

It’s almost a guaranteed profitable deal since Lu Liang had never lost money before; however, thirty billion is really not enough for everyone.

Lu Liang laughed: "We’ve just started getting involved in quantitative trading, really can’t afford to be reckless with investors’ money."

A hundred billion US Dollar management scale is quite high, but for him now, it’s not particularly high.

He could completely increase it to 200 or 300 billion, and probably wouldn’t fail to raise the funds, but Lu Liang needs to keep the market hungry.

The market can be satisfied, but only a few can be fully satisfied.

Those who didn’t get a taste would stare blankly, thinking of getting it; naturally, the chef’s status rises.

While conversing with Li Zhikai, Superman Li observed, his eyes gradually revealing a sense of enlightenment.

An hour and a half of conversation time passed in the blink of an eye.

"Mr. Li, it was beneficial talking with you. I look forward to visiting again next time."

Near five o’clock, Lu Liang said farewell, temporarily parting from the Li family father and sons before leaving by car.

"Mr. Lu, take care."

The brothers sent him off with smiles, but after Lu Liang left, they looked at their father with confusion.

Lu Liang came, but it seemed as though he hadn’t.

Because the conversation content had no substance.

"Lu Liang is using us as a channel to voice out," Superman Li said softly.

"Is it good or bad?" Li Zhikai asked.

"From the current situation, it seems to be good. We’re the first Xiangjiang family to have close contact with Lu Liang."

Superman Li turned around and instructed his eldest son: "Monitor Lu Liang’s itinerary for these days and assign someone to provide the highest level of protection."

A good thing could also turn into a bad one; there’s a force on Wall Street targeting Lu Liang, and they have plenty of opposing forces too.

Several matters mixing together, there will inevitably be people trying to fish in troubled waters, so for their own sake, Lu Liang absolutely must not have any incidents in Xiangjiang.

"Hopefully, you don’t stage something yourself. Otherwise, we’re not made of mud either," Superman Li said with a serious expression.

He even considered the possibility that Lu Liang wanted to stage a grand play, making the Li family take the blame.

Though unlikely, it wasn’t impossible.

In the evening, Lu Liang checked into the Central Shangri-La Hotel and also had Fang Shiyu bring Tian Xi back from the Disney Hotel.

"Finished with work?"

Tian Xi gleefully wrapped her arms around Lu Liang’s neck, face adorned with Mickey Mouse face paint, just returning from Disneyland.

"Finished with work, now I can really spend a few days with you." Lu Liang suddenly turned, embracing Tian Xi, pinched her nose, and poked her cheeks.

Now that people know he has come to Xiangjiang, his goal has been achieved, and all he can do is wait.

Hopefully, his speculation is correct, and he isn’t outsmarting himself, lest he appear foolish.

Lu Liang played with Tian Xi’s chin, grinning as he asked: "How’s the plan coming along? Where do you want to go?"

Little Wang liked fair-skinned young sweet girls for a reason, occasionally changing preferences does indeed bring a different kind of freshness.

Interacting with the optimistic and cheerful Tian Xi, Lu Liang felt several years younger at heart.

Tian Xi excitedly said: "The timing is just right, how about a night tour of Victoria Harbor?"

"Sure, let me arrange a yacht then."

Lu Liang decisively picked up his phone to call Zheng Weijie, and informed him of the plans.

Soon, Zheng Weijie made preparations, allowing Lu Liang to directly head to the ferry terminal for boarding.

"Let’s go, we’ll have dinner on the ship later."

"So soon?"

Tian Xi was surprised, her eyes wide open. She had just mentioned wanting to take a night tour of Victoria Harbor, and it seemed like less than ten minutes had passed.

"It’s just a phone call, how long could it take?"

Lu Liang laughed and asked back, "Are you going or not? If not, I might as well call a few foreign girls instead."

"No calling them." Tian Xi glared, baring her Huya teeth, and with three quick steps, leapt onto Lu Liang’s back, "I’ve played all day and I’m tired. Carry me a bit."

"Sigh, I really can’t do anything about you."

"Hehe, love you~"

The two set off from the hotel by car, and in less than twenty minutes, they arrived at the ferry terminal at Victoria Harbor.

A medium-sized three-story yacht was docked ashore, with Zheng Weijie standing there in a suit and tie, smiling.

He led Lu Liang and Tian Xi onto the deck, introducing several staff members on the yacht: "Mr. Lu, this is Chef Andy, Assistant Chef Zhang Li, Captain Meng Shilin, and Chief Officer Zhou Zhiwei. They’ve all been with Mr. Li for over ten years, experienced veteran sailors."

Lu Liang nodded slightly, understanding Zheng Weijie’s intention. After all, there was a suspicion that his personal safety was under threat.

Being in Xiangjiang and using a Li family yacht, naturally, Li Zhikai needed to ensure he felt at ease using it.

After the introductions, Zheng Weijie said, "Mr. Lu, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave. Do let me know if you need anything."

"Okay, take care."

Lu Liang looked for Tian Xi and found her already on the highest level of the yacht, immersed in the beautiful scenery across the shore.

Tian Xi hurriedly waved and called out, "Liang, Liang, come quickly, the view up here is beautiful."

"Let’s set off."

Lu Liang said to the crew, grabbed a bottle of chilled wine on the way, and went to the top level of the yacht, smiling, "Are you happy?"

"Very happy."

Tian Xi nodded her head excitedly, suddenly wrapping her arms around Lu Liang’s neck, and gave a long French kiss that left her face flushed and breathless, not parting until reluctantly.

Lu Liang pursed his lips, still tasting a hint of sweetness.

With a smile, he picked up the wine bottle, poured half a glass, and handed it to Tian Xi.

Tian Xi took a small sip, lay in Lu Liang’s arms, closed her eyes, enjoying the sea breeze, and the city’s nightscape.

She looked up at the sky, clear with an orange moon hanging high, a sense of emotion welled up: "The moonlight is beautiful tonight."

"Tonight must be the fifteenth or sixteenth of the lunar month." Lu Liang looked up, following her gaze, it was very round and bright.

Tian Xi pouted, with a hint of resentment in her eyes.

Still wanting to try again, she coyly said, "You should say that the wind is gentle too."

Not understanding why, Lu Liang nodded in agreement, "The sea breeze at night in the southern summer is indeed very comfortable."

In the past few years, he had taken a yacht a few times before, but each time, unfortunately, it was winter, with biting cold winds.

"Ahhh~~ you dense fool." Tian Xi widened her eyes, suddenly going crazy, "You’re driving me crazy."

"???" Lu Liang was puzzled.

Just then,

There came the sound of footsteps going thump-thump-thump from the stairs.

The chef inquired, "Mr. Lu, dinner is ready. Would you like to dine up here or in the dining room?"

"Please bring it up here, thank you."

Lu Liang said, and suddenly his phone rang.

He glanced at the caller ID, looking puzzled, but still walked to the stern to answer the call.

Tian Xi saw this and didn’t dare mess around, motioned for silence, and whispered, "Master, let’s go down first."

"Lu, Muddy Water Jonathan, Gugenbrennan, Zade Enst, all got fired for inappropriate remarks."

Hilt’s voice came from the other end of the phone, and Lu Liang furrowed his brows, "Who did it?"

"It’s not clear at the moment."

The three funds announced personnel changes almost simultaneously, and now Wall Street institutions were speculating that Lu Liang put pressure on them.

"Could it be Kamon?" Lu Liang pondered for a moment and voiced his guess; it could be JPMorgan’s staged play.

"If it’s Kamon, he should personally arrange to meet you soon." Hilt’s tone relaxed quite a bit.

JPMorgan Chase raising the white flag, submitting a pledge, with Lu Liang relieving his security risk, no matter how you looked at it, was a good thing.

"So I’m waiting for him in Xiangjiang."

With a smile, Lu Liang leaned against the railing, reaching out to caress the sea breeze, enjoying the city night view along the shore.
