Chapter 733 Australia

"How much can it be?" Jiang Xiaoyang asked curiously.

"90 billion US dollars."

Jiang Xiaoyang's eyes widened instantly, and her dumbfounded look matched her delicate face, which made her look very cute.

"This is just the overall transaction amount. We don't have that much in our hands."

He patted his upper body, which became more and more upright and plump after pregnancy, and said unhappily.

"Speak clearly, don't be surprised, I'm still pregnant with a son."

"Okay, my fault."

Xu Liang quickly begged for mercy.

"How much can we earn specifically?"

"Take 20% of the 90 billion US dollars to the investment bank, and there will be 72 billion US dollars left.

After paying 35% long-term capital gains tax, there will be 46.8 billion US dollars.

After sharing 50% with our investors, the money that actually falls into our hands is about 23.4 billion US dollars."

Jiang Xiaoyang's pretty face was full of surprise.

"This figure has exceeded our income in 2003."

Xu Liang smiled and shook his head, "Actually, it has not exceeded it. The income of 23.4 billion US dollars will not be fully realized until the end of 2005 or even the beginning of 2006.

If 2004 is also included.

The net income for one year is about 8 billion US dollars."

Jiang Xiaoyang nodded, "It doesn't matter if it's 3 years or 2 years, the money will eventually reach us."

"Why, have you figured out how to spend it?"

Xu Liang asked with a smile.

"I haven't figured it out yet, but we have too much cash in our hands, so we have to spend it quickly."

"Then think about it carefully, don't rush."

Xu Liang looked at the time.

"It's almost time to go, let's go back."

"Yeah."

Jiang Xiaoyang nodded. Pregnant women like her can't take too long to walk.

Back to the farm villa.

"Xiaoyang, are you back?"

Wang Lingxiang greeted them with a smile.

After Christina and Helen finished their confinement, they also came to Australia with Xu Liang.

"Mom, breakfast smells so good."

Although they are not married, Jiang Xiaoyang has changed his words.

"Mom made your favorite beef porridge."

"Thank you, Mom."

"Why should we be polite to each other?"

Turning his eyes to Xu Liang, Comrade Wang Lingxiang instantly performed a wonderful performance comparable to Sichuan Opera face-changing.

"Go away, you just wander around all day long."

"Mom, you are too partial, a typical person who forgets his eldest son after having a daughter-in-law..."

"My daughter-in-law treats me well and gave me grandchildren. What else can you do now besides eating?"

"I..."

"Okay, okay, I'm too lazy to talk to you. Xiaoyang, let's go."

After looking at the man next to him with sympathy, Jiang Xiaoyang followed her mother-in-law to the restaurant.

The disgraced Xu Liang sighed and was about to go with someone.

A calm voice sounded in his ears.

"Do you know why your mother is like this?"

He rolled his eyes at his father unhappily.

"Dad, have you practiced the iron palm water floating technique? There is no sound when you walk."

"Don't interrupt, answer the question."

"Why else? Comrade Wang Lingxiang is just afraid that her daughter-in-law will know that I have a child outside, and she will be unhappy. She deliberately scolded me in front of her to let her daughter-in-law vent her anger. Will she feel better?"

"So you know it?"

"How fresh! If I can't see through this little trick, I would have been cheated to death outside. How can I make such a big business?"

"That's right."

Nodding, Old Xu suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Stinky boy, you are getting cocky and start to dislike us. No, I need to discuss this issue with your mother."

Xu Liang quickly put his arm around the old man.

"Dad, why bother my mother with such a small matter? Can't we solve it privately?"

"Is this a small matter? This is a matter of principle."

"A bottle of five-year-old Maotai."

Xu Yongpei's eyes lit up.

He has no other hobbies, he just likes to drink two taels of wine before dinner.

Twice a day, not too much.

It's quite restrained.

"No, no, if your mother knows, I'll be scolded again."

"Two bottles."

Xu Yongpei held his index finger with his left thumb and stretched out the other three fingers.

He lowered his voice.

"Three bottles."

"Deal."

Wang Lingxiang looked at the two men behind him, who were arm in arm and had shifty eyes, and her eyebrows were raised.

"What are you doing? Come to eat quickly."

"I'm coming, I'm coming."

"You little brat, I'll leave the wine with you first, and I'll take it when I drink."

"Don't worry, I'll keep it for you."

After patting his eldest son's shoulder with satisfaction, he said, "Let's go and eat."

After breakfast, Jiang Xiaoyang continued to take care of the baby, and Xu Liang came to the office.

After buying the farm, Jiang Xiaoyang made a big change.

Not only did he add a lot of safety equipment, but he also upgraded the software of the villa.

Here, not only can you contact Hanhua offices and offices around the world anytime and anywhere, but the sufficient bandwidth also allows you to hold online video conferences with the heads of Hanhua offices in various places without any obstacles.

"Boss Xu, this is the information sent by Boss Xia Changsheng."

Xu Liang took it and looked at it, with a smile on his face.

"Old Xia did a good job."

"Boss Xia is getting more and more powerful now. He quietly acquired 12.4% of Unocal's shares and $1.7 billion in convertible bonds.

Now that the news has spread, this asset will definitely make a lot of money." Lu Hui said.

Xu Liang smiled and nodded.

No matter whether Unocal can be successfully acquired in the end.

It is no problem to make a few hundred million dollars from the current investment, and even more than a billion if you are lucky.

In addition to Unocal, Hongyan Fund also purchased $4.7 billion of credit default swaps from Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns and other companies.

Of course, this is just the beginning.

A year later, this number will be multiplied several times.

However, it will take two or three years for these CDs to really become profitable.

Finally, there are 3B-level real estate subprime loans.

Because of Xu Liang's instructions, Hongyan did not buy much and currently holds $6.3 billion.

However, Xia Changsheng is still buying. Before Wall Street recovers, it is likely that he can get about 10 billion.

10 billion is the highest point set by Xu Liang.

Hongyan's largest investment direction is still the credit default swaps (CDs) of corporate bonds of large companies such as Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers, Wachovia, Bear Stearns, and General Motors.

"Mr. Xu, this is the news I just received this morning. U.S. Congressman Vincenzo Rosenberg and four other congressmen proposed to block our acquisition of Unocal."

"What's the reason?"

"National defense security."

Xu Liang smiled, "It seems that someone has taken action. I wonder if it is that idiot Ellison."

"At least 80% of the chance is him. After all, you invested in Workday to give him a slap in the face. There is no reason for him not to get involved in the new and old grudges." Lu Hui said.

Xu Liang nodded, "I hope Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley can help."

He worked hard on the acquisition, and Ellison and other people who didn't want to see him succeed would use more effort to stop him.

This back and forth became more and more lively, attracting more attention.

It was easier for Hanhua to make money from subprime loans.

Dinglingling...

The phone suddenly rang.

After looking at the caller ID, Xu Liang's face became serious. After giving Lu Hui a silent gesture, he pressed the answer button.

"George, good morning."

"Xu, your acquisition of Unocal is now a hot topic in the United States."

"It's just a small acquisition. I didn't expect it to disturb you."

George Bush smiled and said, "An acquisition with a price of over 10 billion US dollars is enough to rank among the top five in the world. It turned out to be a small acquisition in your case. It seems that Hanhua has indeed made a lot of money."

"Although Hanhua makes money, Hanhua's investors make more."

The Bush Family Foundation is a major customer of Hanhua.

George also heard the hidden meaning in his words.

He couldn't help but smile. If Xu Liang could not make money for him and the dignitaries in the United States, he would not have made this call.

"Xu, if you really want to acquire Unocal, you must eliminate the management rights of the 'Atuge Pipeline'."

"Of course there is no problem."

"I will do my best to help you deal with this matter. By the way, is the Pacific II Fund under Hanhua about to expire?"

Xu Liang's heart moved, and he smiled: "There is still half a year."

"Many people are very interested in it."

"If the Pacific II Fund raises more funds, I will leave at least $1 billion for the Bush Family Fund."

Xu Liang heard the music and understood the elegant meaning.

"Haha, Xu, you are always so smart, no wonder you can make your career so successful at such a young age."

"I can achieve my current success, and it is also inseparable from the help of close friends like you."

"Yes, we are mutually beneficial and help each other."

"Of course."

The two chatted for a while before hanging up the phone.

Xu Liang held the phone and pinched his chin in thought.

"Is there really a hope to acquire Unocal? I really didn't mean to do so at the beginning."

Shaked his head.

"Forget it, the best thing is that the acquisition is successful."

Unocal has nearly 3 billion barrels of registered and unregistered oil and natural gas, which is larger than the "China National Offshore Oil Corporation" of this era.

In the future era of skyrocketing energy prices, this asset will not only make a lot of money, but also have a huge impact on surrounding countries.

Time passed little by little, and soon it was New Year's Day.

On this day, Xu Meng also flew over from China.

The family rarely gets together, so naturally they are very happy.

"Brother, my sister-in-law is about to give birth, right?"

"The due date is still half a month away." Xu Liang smiled.

"I will be promoted to an aunt in half a month, so good."

Looking at the happy sister.

He thought.

"This girl is really good at acting."

She has seen all the children Xu Liang has given birth to so far, whether in South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, or the United States recently.

"Sister-in-law, are you pregnant with a boy or a girl? Have you checked at the hospital?"

"Yes, it's a boy."

"Wow, boys are so naughty. My brother was like this when he was a child. He climbed up the wall, caught fish and birds, and stole other people's apples. He was often beaten by my mother."

Xu Liang's face darkened instantly, "Xu Meng, if you don't know how to chat, change the topic."

"Change the topic? What did Xiao Meng say wrong about you? If you don't punish him for three days, he will climb up the roof and tear off the tiles. He is no different from a child when he was a child and when he grew up."

With the support of his mother, Xu Meng was fearless.
