Returning to his senior year of high school, he went all in and made billions by buying at the botto

morning.

The Gulfstream G650ER landed at Hong Kong International Airport.

When the cabin door opened, it had just rained in Hong Kong.

Moist air rushed into the cabin, and the distant tarmac was bathed in a pale golden light from the morning sun.

Inside the master suite of the cabin, the blackout panels were half-closed, casting a warm, dim glow throughout the room.

Chen Mo has woken up.

He was covered with a thin cashmere blanket, and his head was resting on Lu Jingyi's lap.

Lu Jingyi leaned back in her chair, holding a document on European industries in her hand.

The golden morning light streaming through the porthole outlined her beautiful jawline.

"woke up?"

"Um."

Chen Mo responded, but didn't even bother to open his eyes. He even rubbed against her soft waist and abdomen in a very natural way, showing no intention of getting up.

Lu Jingyi paused, raising an eyebrow slightly: "How long does Chairman Chen intend to linger on my lap?"

"The plane has just come to a stop, no rush."

"My legs are numb."

Chen Mo then sat up and gently rubbed her knees.

"Don't touch it..."

Lu Jingyi's body stiffened abruptly, and she subconsciously raised her hand to slap his hand away. A rare blush appeared on her usually cold face.

She rolled her eyes at Chen Mo, her chest heaving slightly.

She didn't expect that Chen Mo's hands would be so restless even when he was sleeping.

If he hadn't looked so tired these past few days, I would have woken him up long ago.

……

The convoy entered the Central Ring Road.

The headquarters of Genesis Capital has received news that the two individuals have returned to Hong Kong.

Upon arriving at the office, Lu Jingyi immediately convened the investment, legal, and overseas business teams to organize the resources obtained from the St. Clair meeting.

The long table in the conference room was covered with documents.

Semiconductors, energy, electricity, mining, industrial insurance, ports, and natural gas storage and transportation.

Next to each type of document is the contact information for the corresponding family or organization.

The French side is willing to help Qingjia establish connections with the silicon photonics and SOI materials team in Grenoble.

The Belgian foundation can facilitate non-public exchanges between Tsinghua University and the Leuven microelectronics research institute.

Several medium-sized Dutch companies possess expertise in precision optics, vacuum systems, and semiconductor equipment components.

Swiss industrial families have opened up some of their electrical equipment and industrial insurance resources.

Germany, on the other hand, hopes to establish long-term cooperation in the fields of power semiconductors, automotive electronics, and power grid equipment.

In addition, there are Nordic hydropower, Southern European ports, natural gas pipelines, and African mining projects.

Lu Jingyi wrote three areas on the whiteboard.

"The semiconductor and advanced manufacturing sectors will be selected by Jianing Holdings and Qingjia."

"Energy, mining, and infrastructure have been added to the generative projects pool."

"Projects involving the French government and European families are all handled centrally by headquarters."

"Without authorization, subordinates are not allowed to bypass the contact person and make contact on their own."

The trust built in Paris is still fragile.

Any transgression could cause the door that has just been opened to be closed again.

Chen Mo sat at the other end of the conference table, flipping through a report on European political and financial risks.

The British Conservative Party has pledged to hold a Brexit referendum.

Cameron is still negotiating terms with the EU, and the referendum date has not yet been officially set.

The prevailing opinion at present still leans towards Britain remaining in the EU.

Financial institutions generally believe that this is more like a political tactic used by the British government to gain concessions from the European Union.

Chen Mo, however, knew the final outcome.

2016 October.

The UK voted to leave the EU.

The British pound plummeted in a single day, causing severe volatility in global stock markets.

In the following years, the UK and the EU will engage in lengthy negotiations on trade, finance, movement of people and regulation.

The opportunities brought about by this change go far beyond just a single currency transaction.

London-based financial institutions will reassess their European operations.

Some companies need to relocate their assets and teams to the European continent in order to retain access to the EU market.

Following the depreciation of the pound, the dollar prices of a number of British listed companies and real estate will also decline rapidly.

If Creation establishes a European platform in advance, it can act first when chaos truly erupts.

"Establish an independent platform in Europe."

Chen Mo closed the report.

"The legal and fund structure is located in Luxembourg, the transaction team remains in London, and the industry cooperation office is in Paris."

Lu Jingyi raised her head.

"Creating a new Europe?"

"right."

"Luxembourg is responsible for funds, taxation, and investment channels within the EU."

"London remains Europe's most established financial center, and that is unlikely to change in the short term."

"Paris is responsible for the relationship between the French government, industrial families, and research institutions."

Chen Mo pointed to the industry data on the table.

"All the projects we secured this time were undertaken by Creation Europe."

Lu Jingyi did not agree immediately.

She had gotten into the habit of judging the reasons behind Chen Mo's decisions first.

Do you think relations between the UK and the EU will deteriorate?

"Very likely."

"Cameron held the referendum in an attempt to suppress divisions within the Conservative Party."

Chen Mo said.

"But once the issue is handed over to the voters, the final decision will no longer be solely based on the economy."

"Immigration, employment, sovereignty, and social sentiment can all influence voting."

"The market is currently significantly underestimating the probability of a Brexit victory."

Lu Jingyi looked at the poll data in the report.

Do you really think Britain will leave the European Union?

"Prepare according to this result."

"Don't short the pound on a large scale right now."

Chen Mo wrote down several arrangements on a piece of paper.

"First, establish long-term volatility positions in the pound, euro, and European stock indices."

"Buy pound put options in batches while controlling time decay."

"Once the referendum date is officially confirmed, we will increase our positions based on polls and market pricing."

Regarding UK assets, we have prepared three lists in advance.

"Export companies with a high proportion of dollar revenue, British companies with global cash flow, and high-quality real estate and infrastructure that may be discounted after the depreciation of the pound."

Simply shorting the British pound only allows you to profit from one market fluctuation.

By establishing a European platform in advance, Creation can continue to acquire assets even after the currency has plummeted.

Lu Jingyi quickly understood his full intention.

"I've asked the London team to start preparations today."

"The Luxembourg and Paris offices can poach talent directly from several European institutions."

"Those families at the St. Clair meeting would be willing to recommend us."

"A security system will be established together."

Chen Mo added.

"The head of Creation Europe, core traders, and industry team are all included in the headquarters' security standards."

After the Paris attacks, no one would consider this investment superfluous.

At the end of the document, Lu Jingyi wrote "Establish Creation Europe".

"There's one more thing."

Chen Mo said.

"Activate Creation II."

Several investment managers in the conference room looked up at the same time.

A week ago, Chen Mo thought that Creation No. 1 had been established for too short a time and there was no need to rush to expand its scale.

The trip to Paris changed everything.

Creation has gained access to a number of European industrial projects that were previously inaccessible.

North American shale oil, global mining debt, and technology growth stocks are also generating new funding needs.

Genesis One, with its current scale of over seven billion US dollars, is no longer able to cover all opportunities simultaneously.

More importantly, following the St. Clair Conference, Genesis finally possessed the international resources and organizational foundation to support billions of dollars in new funding.

"The target size is 10 billion US dollars."

Chen Mo continued.

"Set a hard cap of $15 billion."

Existing investors have priority subscription rights.

"European families, sovereign wealth funds, university endowments, and pension funds can enter the second round."

"The fund's term, management fees, and performance-based compensation follow the main framework of Genesis No. 1."

Lu Jingyi cautioned, "Raising tens of billions of dollars is not the problem in itself."

"The real problem is funding capacity."

"Number Two will not be a copy of Number One." Chen Mo had already decided. "Number One will continue to be responsible for global macroeconomics, public markets, and resource claims."

"Number two increases include industrial mergers and acquisitions, private equity, and long-term technology investments."

"The infrastructure, energy, and advanced manufacturing projects that Creation Europe has secured are also participated in by No. 2."

This can prevent two funds from competing for the same batch of trading opportunities and also extend the capital utilization period.

Lu Jingyi glanced at the team present.

"The fundraising memorandum will be completed this afternoon."

"Send this to the existing investors of Genesis No. 1 before tomorrow."

"I personally confirmed the lists for Europe and the Middle East."

"Institutions that have not received an invitation will not be accepted for last-minute subscriptions."

……

It was 4 p.m. that day.

The fundraising memorandum for Creation II was sent to 47 institutions worldwide via encrypted channels.

The target size is $10 billion.

The hard cap is $15 billion.

The minimum subscription amount is US$100 million.

Creation did not hold a public press conference, nor did it accept interviews from financial media.

The news spread rapidly in New York, London, Zurich, and Hong Kong.

Creation No. 1 has reached a net asset value of 1.23 in less than half a year since its establishment.

Following the St. Clair Roundtable Conference, several of Europe's most isolated industrial families began to actively engage with Creation.

Everyone understood that Genesis II had gained more than just the right to participate in the next round of trading.

It will also enter a new network connecting European and American financial, energy, technology and industrial assets.

Two hours after the memorandum was sent.

The Grant System confirmed a subscription of two billion US dollars.

Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, and Morgan Stanley each submitted internal applications.

The two Swiss family offices have set aside a combined $1.2 billion.

Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds have directly requested to subscribe for $2.5 billion.

To prevent a single investor from having an excessively high percentage of the investment, Lu Jingyi temporarily limited the amount to $1.5 billion.

The next morning.

Genesis received over US$14 billion in intended subscriptions.

Formal due diligence and fund transfer have not yet begun, but the target size has already been covered by interested funds.

European and American financial media quickly received the news.

An Asian investment firm, established less than a year ago, is preparing to raise a fund worth tens of billions of dollars.

This will be one of the largest private equity fund IPOs globally since the financial crisis.

The focus of market discussion has shifted from whether Chuangsheng can complete its fundraising to how many institutions will ultimately receive the quota.

Several hedge fund managers in London contacted Lu Jingyi, hoping to participate with their personal funds.

New York university endowment funds are starting to look for existing funders to revitalize their businesses, hoping to gain referrals.

European family offices are more direct.

They included the new industry project and fund subscription applications in the same email.

Capital and resources are flowing into Hong Kong simultaneously.

Even before the formal completion of the transaction, Genesis II has already put pressure on European and American capital markets.
