Rebirth of the Hong Kong Millennium Conglomerate

The mornings in Repulse Bay always carry a touch of gentle coolness. Zhang Zeyang had just finished having breakfast with his younger sister, Zhang Lingyun, and told her to play by herself. He was about to turn back to his study when Li Fu respectfully stepped forward to report that Chen Mo and Su Qing had arrived.

"Let them in." Zhang Zeyang said calmly. Three days was enough time for Chen Mo and Su Qing to complete the group registration. He was not disappointed by their efficiency.

Before long, Chen Mo and Su Qing followed Li Fu into the living room. Both were dressed in smart business attire; Chen Mo was in a suit and leather shoes, while Su Qing wore a light gray skirt suit. They were both carrying heavy briefcases, clearly carrying documents.

Upon seeing Zhang Zeyang, the two bowed respectfully and greeted him, saying, "Mr. Zhang."

"Please sit down." Zhang Zeyang gestured, and the servants quickly brought over two cups of warm tea.

Chen Mo opened his briefcase first, took out a stack of neatly bound documents, and handed them to Zhang Zeyang with both hands, saying, "Mr. Zhang, the registration procedures for Qian Gu Group have been completed. This is the registration information, equity registration and all other documents. We have checked them repeatedly and there are no omissions."

Su Qing added from the side, "I will temporarily serve as the legal representative on the documents."

Zhang Zeyang nodded, took the document, and after confirming that it was correct, he closed it, placed it on the coffee table, and said to the two men, "Well done, thank you for your hard work."

He paused, looked up at the two of them, and said, "Next, you need to do one thing: transfer all the shares of Qian Gu Group to the offshore company we registered earlier. The procedures must be clean and efficient, leaving no trace. This matter needs to be done as soon as possible, and you should let me know immediately when it's done."

The transfer of the group's shares to an offshore company is both to mitigate risks and to lay the groundwork for future developments. This step is crucial and cannot tolerate any mistakes.

Chen Mo and Su Qing understood immediately and replied in a deep voice, "Understood, Mr. Zhang. We will get it done now and it will be completed in ten days at the latest."

"Okay, be careful." Zhang Zeyang waved his hand, without giving any further instructions.

Chen Mo and Su Qing were very familiar with this kind of thing, so he didn't need to worry about it too much.

The two put away the documents, bowed again, and quickly left the villa.

The living room returned to silence. Zhang Zeyang picked up his teacup and took a small sip. With Qiangu Group now established and its shares transferred offshore, there was nothing to worry about.

Just as Zhang Zeyang had predicted, ten days later Chen Mo sent word that the shares of Qian Gu Group had been successfully transferred to an offshore company, with all procedures complete and without any errors.

Zhang Zeyang simply said "I understand" and let them focus on advancing the acquisition. He continued to lie low in the villa as usual, occasionally sending in observation reports from the Black Ice Station, and keeping Zhang Lingyun company. His days were peaceful and uneventful.

A dozen days later, the acquisition of the two companies finally came to a conclusion.

It was another sunny afternoon, with sunlight streaming through the French windows into the living room. Zhang Zeyang was sitting on the sofa reading a financial magazine when Chen Mo and Su Qing arrived again.

"Mr. Zhang, we've acquired both the Hong Kong Daily and Lee's Bank," Chen Mo said first.

"As for the Hong Kong Daily, Wu Lei saw that the newspaper was struggling to survive, and since our offer was right, we reached an agreement without too much trouble. We took over the printing plant and distribution channels completely, and the employees were all temporarily retained."

As for the Li family bank, their financial chain had long since broken down. When they saw us come to acquire it, they almost immediately agreed. We investigated all the bad debts, cleared up some non-performing assets, and successfully completed the transaction. We now have control of all thirteen branches.

Su Qing then handed over two acquisition contracts and an asset list, adding, "These are the acquisition contracts and asset details of the two institutions. Please take a look. All procedures are compliant and legal, and there are no outstanding issues."

Zhang Zeyang took the contract, quickly flipped through it, and closed it after confirming that everything was correct, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

In just over ten days, he successfully acquired both companies, even more smoothly than he had anticipated.

He set the contract aside, tapped his fingertips lightly on the coffee table, and began to methodically arrange the follow-up matters.

"The handover at Li's Bank is of paramount importance," Zhang Zeyang said, his gaze fixed on Chen Mo. "You should connect with a reliable accounting firm, preferably one with a good reputation and strong confidentiality in Hong Kong. Have them oversee the entire handover process, making sure to thoroughly investigate every account and verify every asset to ensure there are no hidden debts or bad debts. Also, keep the bank's existing employees, especially those in key positions, in check. Don't make any major changes for now; maintain normal operations."

"Understood. I'll go and liaise with the accounting firm tomorrow. I'll keep a close eye on the handover." Chen Mo replied in a deep voice, quickly taking out his notebook to write down the instructions, not daring to miss a single detail.

Zhang Zeyang then looked at Su Qing and calmly instructed, "For now, let the Hong Kong Daily operate as it is, without making any changes, so as not to cause any unrest among the staff."

You have two tasks now. First, find a headhunting firm; I need to recruit a few talents for these urgently needed positions.

"Qiangu Group urgently needs a financial director who is experienced, skilled in capital operations, and discreet yet meticulous."

A human resources director can build a complete personnel system.

An administrative manager is responsible for overseeing the group's daily administrative affairs. These three positions are of paramount importance, and we must find suitable people for them as soon as possible.

As for other positions, we can take our time; there's no rush.

"In addition, the Hong Kong Daily is short of an editor-in-chief," Zhang Zeyang added. "We need someone with management experience in large newspapers who also understands the Hong Kong media market."

Su Qing took out her notebook and wrote everything down, then looked up and asked, "Mr. Zhang, I will contact a headhunting firm as soon as possible to screen candidates. Do you have any other requirements?"

"There's one more thing," Zhang Zeyang said, a thoughtful look in his eyes, "Have a headhunter keep an eye out for managers at securities firms, requiring them to have extensive trading experience."

To quickly accumulate capital, venturing into the stock market is inevitable, and it's necessary to find a reliable securities manager in advance.

Su Qing understood immediately and nodded in agreement, "Yes, Mr. Zhang, I'll arrange it all at once."

"Okay, everything is proceeding at this pace. If there are suitable candidates, bring me their information first for review, and then I'll arrange interviews." Zhang Zeyang waved his hand. "The rest is up to you. If you encounter any problems you can't solve, come to me."

"Yes!" Chen Mo and Su Qing responded in unison, put away their notebooks and documents, bowed, and turned to leave.

The living room returned to silence as the maid quietly cleared away the teacups from the table without making a sound.

Zhang Zeyang leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes, and sorted out the current situation in his mind.

The next step is to recruit the core personnel and build a solid team framework, then we can focus on quiet development.

He is only ten years old this year, still very young. In Hong Kong, a place where all sorts of people mingle, being too flamboyant will only bring trouble.

As the saying goes, "The tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind." Rather than being impatient for quick success, it is better to calm down and quietly make plans.

The next few years will be his period of dormancy, during which he will develop the newspaper, the bank, and venture into the stock market, laying a solid foundation. Once he has weathered these years and turned eighteen, he will step into the limelight with dignity, and then no one will be able to easily shake him.

"Brother, what are you thinking about?" Zhang Lingyun's clear voice came from the stairwell. Seeing Zhang Zeyang sitting alone in the living room, she quickly walked over and sat down next to him.

Zhang Zeyang reached out and ruffled Zhang Lingyun's hair: "It's nothing, I was just thinking about where I should take you to have fun and where we should eat something delicious."

"Really? That's great!" Zhang Lingyun's eyes crinkled into a smile, her face beaming.

In the days that followed, Zhang Zeyang had a complete amount of free time.

On Chen Mo's side, the accounting firm has successfully completed the handover, and the bank handover is progressing smoothly, with detailed progress reports coming in every day.

On Su Qing's side, the headhunting company had already started operations, and had successively screened a batch of candidate information and sent it to Zhang Zeyang for his review.

Zhang Zeyang only needed to spend one or two hours a day reviewing candidate information. The rest of the time he would either spend with Zhang Lingyun or stay in his study reading various books. Occasionally, he would listen to reports from the Black Ice Station about Chen Mo, Su Qing, and the movements of the newspaper and the bank. His days were peaceful and fulfilling.

He was neither hasty nor impatient. Those who achieve great things must first be able to endure loneliness.
