The night grew deeper, it’s two thirty in the morning.

Tianxing Finance’s official website updated again, with the final 50 billion US dollar quota in New York Station also fully subscribed.

According to the information disclosed in the announcement, all funds are expected to enter Tianxing Finance’s account within seven working days at the latest.

By that time, including Tianxing Private Equity and Tianxing Quantitative, Tianxing Finance will have at least 330 billion US dollars of guaranteed available funds.

"Tianxing Finance! It’s already built its momentum.”

When Lu Liang finished his arduous battle, embracing the beauty and sleeping peacefully, there were many people, eyes red, unable to sleep.

Even eight hours ago, when victories were declared across four stations in Xiangjiang and East Asia’s Three Kingdoms, they believed the $300 billion ABS had already succeeded ahead of schedule.

But believing and an established fact are still different.

Xiangjiang having such a young and powerful ruler added may not truly be a good thing.

Even though Lu Liang told them openly, Tianxing Finance settling in Xiangjiang was only to replace HSBC, and that it will never easily interfere with the market in the future.

But how many truly believe in a verbal guarantee?

Due to the circumstances, they had no choice but to agree.

That night, countless people couldn’t sleep, and the Zheng Family’s Yiyun Villa was brightly lit until dawn.

At eight o’clock sharp, TVB’s “Hot Spot Tracking” started live again.

"Hello viewers, we meet again.”

"It is now eight o’clock in the morning Beijing time, we are at the entrance of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in Central, waiting for the opening.”

A refined man with slicked-back hair and gold-rimmed glasses, holding a microphone, stood in front of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Next to him, several long queues stretched hundreds of meters, mostly made up of seniors over fifty.

"Some new viewers might be curious about what they’re doing. To be honest, today New World Development Group is issuing a targeted private placement of 30% of its stocks in the secondary market, issuing a total of 750 million shares, and this group is lining up to subscribe.”

The host, smiling, randomly interviewed an uncle in the queue and asked, “Uncle, with online subscription being so convenient, why did you come to line up so early?”

The uncle glanced, “Young man, you don’t understand, the success rate of offline subscription is higher.”

"New World Development, closing price last Wednesday was 89.5 dollars, and now the subscription for each share is only 55.75 dollars.”

"Winning one share earns a profit of 33.75 dollars. When the market opens on Monday, Hengtai and the Zheng Family will start a battle for chips.”

"Lu Liang to help Hengtai, prepared 300 billion US dollars, HSBC and the Zheng Family won’t stand idly by either.”

"I think that by the end of next week’s trading, New World Development Group’s stock price will have a minimum of 150 dollars.”

Facing the camera, the uncle was calm, speaking eloquently like a stock deity fallen to the people, even the TVB host couldn’t keep up and had to hastily end the topic.

He looked at the camera and said with a smile, “Viewers, now you know why the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is so lively…”

The long-awaited Super Friday finally arrived, not only were Xiangjiang residents concerned, but investors from the mainland and even East Asia were keeping a close watch.

After all, HSBC was once a dominant force in East Asia, if defeated by Lu Liang’s Tianxing Finance, then the whole East Asian banking industry would tremble.

After all, it is well known that Lu Liang has ambitions of a wolf.

Preparing 300 billion US dollars for this, clearly his goal will not be confined to Xiangjiang.

Meanwhile, in the luxurious suite of the Four Seasons Hotel.

Lu Liang ordered two breakfasts to be delivered to the room, and after washing up, he looked at Xue Jingyang who was pretending to be asleep in bed.

Unable to contain his smile, he said, “I’ll be going out later, the room card is on the table, stay as long as you like.”

Hearing Lu Liang’s words, Xue Jingyang peeked out with a pitiable look and asked, “Will you still come to see me?”

She loved reading Zhang Ailing’s novels, and Zhang Ailing once said there is a shortcut to a woman’s heart.

Although these were idol’s words, she didn’t agree, thinking that loveless sex couldn’t give birth to feelings.

Until she personally experienced it last night, she finally understood.

Indeed, it’s impossible to birth feelings overnight, but there would be a subconscious sense of dependence.

"Don’t be insecure like that, of course, I’ll come back, otherwise where would I stay at night?”

Lu Liang put on his suit and walked to the bedside, caressed Xue Jingyang’s cheek, whispering softly, “You just rest well.”

Xue Jingyang’s presence also filled his regret of having no lover in the Southern Region.

Although Lin Yan came along with him, home flowers don’t have the fragrance of wildflowers.

Mature women have their charm,

Young girls have their taste.

Xue Jingyang enjoyed Lu Liang’s caresses, stretched out her small hand from under the quilt, and waved: “Bye-bye, all the best.”

"Alright, I’m off then.”

At eight thirty, Lu Liang arrived at Phase 2 of Plaza Building.

At nine on the dot, the subscription channel opened, Wen Chao stayed at the company all night for the final fund reconciliation work.

He said, “Mr. Lu, we have already transferred the three billion funds into the designated account, just waiting for the channel to open.”

New World directed issuance of 30%, issuing a total of 750 million shares, each at 55.75 dollars, raising a total of 41.812 billion Hong Kong Dollars.

30 billion US dollars anchored at a 7.8 exchange rate equals 234 billion Hong Kong Dollars, which is 5.5 times the financing amount this time.

If no one competes, they can take it all, allowing Hengtai to hold a 61.108% complete control.

But now the situation is that retail investors, speculators, and institutions are all taking advantage, and the Zheng Family, HSBC are also competing.

This time the oversubscription rate of old shares may set a historical record since the Hong Kong Stock Exchange was established.

"Spending a little more money doesn’t matter, after all, Hengtai will foot the bill in the end.” Lu Liang said with a smile.

He had already discussed it with Xu Jiayin and signed a contract in black and white; this time, no matter how much money is spent, it will be borne by Hengtai Group.

It doesn’t matter if there is no money now; whether it’s interest first then principal, or principal first then interest, both are fine, with an annualized rate of 5%, repaying slowly.

If it can’t be repaid in one year, then two years,

If it can’t be repaid in two years, then three years,

If worst comes to worst, then five years.

Anyway, Lu Liang can afford to wait.

Although as it has evolved till now, Hengtai Group’s acquisition of New World is very likely to have disproportionate costs and benefits, Old Xu can only pinch his nose and agree.

Because now Hengtai is like a swimmer thrown in the middle of a lake; if he keeps swimming, there’s a chance to get ashore, but if he stops, he can only wait for death.

Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives.

During their conversation, Xu Jiawei knocked and entered, informing that Xu Jiayin had just arrived and was in the next reception room.

"Then please invite Mr. Xu to come as well.” Lu Liang looked at the clock on the wall; it was almost nine, the subscription channel was about to open.

As soon as Xu Jiayin entered the door, he hurriedly said: “Mr. Lu, I just heard the Zheng Family mortgaged Zhou Da Fu’s shares.”

"Where did you hear that from?” Lu Liang asked.

"I heard it from the manager of HSBC’s loan department.” Xu Jiayin patted his chest, assuring that the source was absolutely reliable.

Ever since knowing that HSBC would be an obstacle to Hengtai’s acquisition of New World, he has been using sugar-coated bullets on several middle managers of HSBC.

Just now, that manager quietly called him, informing Zheng Jiachun mortgaged Zhou Da Fu’s shares and once again received the full support of HSBC’s board of directors.

"Overestimating one’s capabilities.”

Lu Liang sneered with disdain: “They are old enough, yet still don’t know how to choose wisely, do they really think they have a chance?”

How is this different from the tale of the Calabash Brothers trying to save their grandfather?

He pondered for a moment, then turned and instructed Wen Chao: “Follow the original plan, I want to see if HSBC has the determination to fight us to the end.”

"Okay.” Wen Chao smiled slightly at Xu Jiayin and went to the adjacent trading room, taking the helm at the front line to personally command.

The eagerly anticipated nine o’clock finally arrived.

In the live broadcast room of TVB’s “Hot Pursuit”, three sets of numbers suddenly appeared prominently at the top center.

The host introduced with a smile: “I believe all the viewers can see the three sets of numbers above my head.”

Yes, they are this time’s financing amount, subscription amount, and oversubscription rate.

Updated every five minutes in real time.”

Lu Liang and Xu Jiayin were also watching the live broadcast; Xu Jiayin frowned: “Where did they get the data?”

"What’s the difficulty in this? Obviously, it’s people who like to watch the excitement creating more chaos.” Lu Liang laughed.

Xu Jiayin said with a look of grievance: “Watching the excitement is one thing, but it pains the people involved.”

TVB, those bastards, made the oversubscription rate and amount public. If it exceeds a hundred times, then more and more people will scramble for shares.

The more people scramble, the more funds Tianxing has to invest, and the more debt Hengtai will bear.

"Mr. Xu, last night you said you would do your utmost for the Xiangjiang Real Estate Market until death, so what does this bit of investment matter?”

Lu Liang teased; he actually thought this kind of live broadcast was quite nice, very novel, and looked forward to the audience’s reaction after the first five-minute update.

“…” Xu Jiayin was momentarily speechless, very aggrieved, but he didn’t dare to say Lu Liang was being generous with someone else’s money.

At nine o’ five, the first set of updated figures appeared, the subscription capital column showed a string of 12-digit numbers.

Financing amount: 41.812 billion,

Subscription amount: 262.023 billion Hong Kong Dollars,

Oversubscription rate: 6.28 times.

"What’s going on? Did they report the numbers wrong? How come 2.6 trillion got subscribed in the first five minutes?”

"Such important data can’t be wrong, who’s behind this? Tianxing or HSBC?”

"Did they just throw in over 30 billion US Dollars at the start?”

The moment the news was announced, the market was in an uproar, countless investors were dumbfounded.

This subscription lasts for a total of six hours.

Yet in the first five minutes, no one knows which immortal raised the winning rate directly to 6.28 times.

If this trend continues, a trillion Hong Kong Dollars are likely inevitable, even two trillion is not impossible.
