Morning.
Hong Kong.
The Hong Kong Stock Exchange was already bustling.
"Below ninety-five, Tencent, buy as much as you can."
"No problem."
"I just transferred another three million in, buy all Tencent under a hundred."
"Okay."
"..."
Chasing up.
The nature of capital.
With such favorable news, not hopping on the bandwagon feels like a letdown, so people scrambled overnight to raise funds just to catch this hot trend today, ahem, that adjective is a bit grating.
But that’s the gist.
Hong Kong.
One of the top ten financial centers internationally.
Never short of capital.
As soon as the market opened.
Tencent’s stock price shot up from eighty-five Hong Kong Dollars to a hundred and one in an instant, many who were betting on ninety-sothing got anxious right away, how can they play now? Quickly canceled orders and re-placed them.
"Are you crazy? It’s just the opening."
"Should’ve set it at a hundred."
"Damn."
"No surprise, yesterday was unexpected, one night and big capital was ready, how could it be your turn to snatch a bargain, take this into account next ti you’re speculating."
"Don’t state the truth outright, alright."
"Exactly, that hurts."
"..."
In an instant.
Tencent’s stock price opened a continuous rise model, this situation is impossible under the ten percent rise limit rule in Huaxia, but Hong Kong has no restrictions, and capital can do whatever it wants.
One hundred and five.
...
One hundred and ten.
...
One hundred and fifteen.
...
As of the close on July 1, even with so short-term speculative funds leaving the market, Tencent’s stock price still rose by more than forty percent, reaching one hundred and twenty-one Hong Kong Dollars, with a market value approaching twenty billion U.S. Dollars.
Surpassing.
It’s probably just a matter of tomorrow.
...
Shen City.
Tencent Headquarters.
Everyone was jubilant.
Everyone felt Tencent was about to make a coback, to regain its forr glory, the long-repressed gloom dispersed today, finally able to see the blue sky again, enjoy the sunlight, however, so people quickly cald down.
President Ma.
Was excited yesterday.
Today needs to stay calm.
There are two great tragedies in life, one is to ambitiously reach for the stars, the other is total despair. Now, Tencent is at the forr critical point, overly high expectations could lead to tragedy and a slap in the face.
Cannot be complacent.
Cannot be complacent.
Taking a deep breath.
He contemplated Tencent’s future once more.
What ERV promised most was support related to gaming, in other areas, such as cloud computing, CG effects, etc., not much was ntioned, obviously, they didn’t want Tencent to dabble in those areas.
This way.
It’s not feasible for Tencent to follow the path of competing with the Movie and Cot Group.
ERV wants to do it themselves.
Cloud Computing.
One of ERV’s core businesses, Tencent is not too interested because the investnt is too large, so many data centers, building them is a number Tencent cannot accept, unlike making money from gas.
Live Broadcast.
Video.
These are two good directions.
Cot Video is so strong, all built on copyrights, and many of their own dramas, Tencent Video can learn, if special effects can’t reach Civilization’s level, let’s specialize in one category.
I don’t believe there’s no place for us.
At least.
Let the existing QQ users.
Not stop using it just because there’s no content. Once the gaming field is stable, it ans a huge user base, then, step by step, patch up other shortcomings, strengthen the territory.
Yeah.
Let’s do it this way.
A coback.
Is just around the corner!
...
At this mont.
South Africa.
It’s already been bright for a while.
Presidential Palace.
Welcod a wave of guests whose identities made the Presidential Palace cautious to entertain.
"Industrial and comrcial park?"
Looking at the proposal on the table, they were a bit puzzled, not understanding ERV’s intentions, not that they couldn’t understand the proposal, but thinking about the logic, what could ERV gain from such a project.
It’s stated clearly inside.
Loan.
Design.
Construction.
Operation managent.
All-in-one service.
Very tempting. Looking back, these days, ERV first used European and Arican consortium relations to have MIH relinquish all their Tencent shares, the purpose being to enter the Huaxia market.
And now.
Brought a project.
Could it be.
To give a sweet treat after a hit?
"Yes, as the largest economy in Africa, South Africa is also the most complete industrial system country in Africa, our plan can help your country develop its own economy more effectively."
"Serving industry and comrce, this is just a pilot, besides South Africa, we will prioritize so potential African countries, our ERV Comrcial Bank is eager to grow together with African countries."
"..."
A good five minutes.
Made the high-level South African officials present in a good mood.
South Africa has money.
Number one in Africa.
But also has a strong country at heart, twenty years ago, only countries in the European and Arican camps lived well, twenty years later, Asian countries rose up, and Africa is still lying low, this big brother is indeed unbalanced.
However.
Want to change.
Lacking strength.
Teammates lack strength.
Although ERV’s plan may not necessarily change anything, it certainly wouldn’t be worse than now. Gradually, they had a guess in mind, maybe having just beco a consortium, they need to do so ’good deeds’.
Expand influence.
Yes.
That should be it.
Industrial park?
Sounded a bit familiar, suddenly, they rembered, in Congo Gold, Tang Qing had invested in a steel industrial park, now operating very well, can’t stop at all.
Also.
The park in Algeria is also under construction.
Both Central Africa and North Africa have layouts.
What about South Africa?
Could Tang Qing also do one?
Forget it.
Doesn’t matter.
Now soone cos knocking, willing to do sothing similar, what’s the point of looking that far, behind Tang Qing is Huaxia, behind ERV is Europe and Arica, no matter which one cos, it’s beneficial for South Africa.
Just a bit sullen.
Tang Qing invested in Central and North Africa.
But hasn’t dealt with South Africa yet.
Myanmar Bank Group’s projects and comrcial loans, more than a dozen African countries received them, not including South Africa, in fact, they also want it, but as Africa’s big brother, they couldn’t save face.
Could it be Myanmar thought South Africa doesn’t need money?
How is that possible.
We do need it.
Honestly speaking.
Did you even ask?
What if we need it?
The first batch, last year Kan Qin spread one hundred and twenty billion Asia Dollars in Africa, this year almost doubled, all countries combined more than two hundred billion, converted to U.S. dollars, nearly thirty billion.
Wow.
Such a big cake.
South Africa can’t even have a bite.
Looking at the proposal in front of them, they already have a plan in mind: okay, if we can’t have the big cake, let’s have so small bites to satisfy hunger, but can’t just agree too easily.
"Your proposal is very good, but we need to discuss it."
"Of course."
No more words.
ERV people left.
...
After they left.
The Secretary received a ssage, quickly reported.
"In half an hour, their airplane will fly to Congo Gold." Such a consortium, going on a trip, even brings their own airplane.
"Everyone?"
"No, left two, in a nearby hotel."
"..."
Alright then.
At least they respected them, didn’t leave all at once, otherwise, wouldn’t it be completely disregarding their efficiency, thinking they need a long discussion, no, can’t let them look down upon us.
