The next morning.

The presidential suite on the top floor of a hotel in Macau.

He Qirong personally delivered the first batch of land parcel information.

After reviewing the project summary prepared by Aohai, Lu Jingyi handed over the three documents to her accompanying team.

"The Creative Infrastructure Group is responsible for the revenue models and financing structures of cultural and tourism projects."

"Xingchen family office is studying the land plot and manor plan."

The staff immediately made a note of it.

He Qirong then looked at Chen Mo.

"Regarding the content and traffic planning mentioned last night, who should Aohai liaise with?"

Chen Mo took out a contact card from the strategic investment department of Xingchen Technology.

"Contact Star Technology first."

"I will have Xingchao Culture and Douyin each send their teams over."

"The first phase will focus on how to integrate IP, performing arts, e-sports, hotels, and short video dissemination."

"The existing plan does not need to be scrapped immediately."

"We'll decide which parts to keep once the team has developed a complete user profile and operational model."

He Qirong took the contact card.

"it is good."

"Aohai will open up anonymized operational data of its existing resorts and will also arrange for hotel, entertainment, and business teams to cooperate."

Half an hour later, he took his leave.

Chen Mo and Lu Jingyi did not stay in Macau.

At 11:40 a.m., a silver-gray helicopter took off from the outer harbor.

The hotel clusters in Cotai and the lights from last night gradually shrank and eventually disappeared behind the coastline.

Lu Jingyi leaned back in her chair, still holding one of the manor concept drawings in her hand.

"Main building, guest rooms, dock, swimming pool, underground security space."

She spoke through her earpiece.

"How big are you planning to build it?"

"The designer should come up with a plan first."

"What about the budget?"

"No hard upper limit."

Lu Jingyi turned her head to look at him, recalling the scene of Chen Mo not winning a single game at the casino yesterday, and couldn't help but smile.

Helicopters flew over Victoria Harbour.

Shortly afterward, it landed back on the top floor of the Shun Tak Centre.

The two-day holiday in Hong Kong and Macau has now come to an end.

As for the Seaview Manor, which still exists only on paper, it has been taken over by two teams.

Land approval, planning adjustments, and architectural design all take time.

Chen Mo did not urge him.

He wanted a private residence that he could use long-term, so he naturally didn't need to lower his standards just to move in a few months earlier.

……

December 28th.

Genesis Capital Hong Kong Headquarters.

The first voting committee meeting after the Christmas holidays lasted from morning until afternoon.

The $20 billion raised by Genesis 2 has been raised and its trusteeship arrangements have been completed.

The previously identified areas, such as energy and mining debt, European infrastructure, artificial intelligence, and semiconductors, have been further broken down into a list of actionable projects.

The first phase will only utilize $3.1 billion.

Of the $1.8 billion, $1.8 billion was used to acquire discounted debt of high-quality shale oil, oilfield services and mining companies in North America.

$800 million is being used for due diligence and initial allocation of European power, port and infrastructure projects.

The remaining $500 million is earmarked for the artificial intelligence, semiconductor, and data center supply chains.

The remaining funds mostly remain in cash, short-term treasury bonds, and highly liquid instruments.

International crude oil prices are still falling.

Some energy companies' bonds have fallen to below 60% of their face value, but the real shakeout is not yet over.

Creation has enough funds and enough time to wait.

There is no need to absorb all the selling pressure in order to quickly establish a position.

"Energy claims will be entered gradually in three price tiers."

Chen Mo marked the different intervals on the plan.

"Prioritize companies that have real oil and gas resources, controllable production costs, and are only being crushed by short-term debt."

"We don't touch companies that rely solely on high oil prices and continuous financing to survive."

The partner in charge of North American strategy nodded.

"What about the European part?"

"Focus on projects first, don't chase scale."

Chen Mo said.

"You can look into power grids, ports, natural gas storage and transportation, and industrial insurance."

"A separate event monitoring pool will be established for UK assets."

"Hedge tools for the pound, stock indices, banks and real estate are prepared in advance, but large directional positions will not be established now."

The UK will hold a referendum next year on whether to remain in the European Union.

Before the results were announced, most European institutions still believed that the Remain side would win.

Chen Mo knew the final answer.

However, Creation II is too large in scale.

Before truly beginning the strategic planning, it is essential to establish multi-layered channels between options, futures, foreign exchange, and spot markets to avoid revealing all intentions overnight.

Lu Jingyi wrote down his requests one by one in the minutes of the investment committee.

"The first tranche of $3.1 billion can be completed by the end of January."

"What about the rest of the funds?"

"wait."

Chen Mo closed the report.

"The advantage of Genesis II is not that it requires daily trading."

"Given a good enough opportunity, we can wait up to six months for $20 billion."

After the meeting, each strategy team began implementation.

No public press conference was held for Creation 2.

The first batch of funds, however, has already quietly entered North America and Europe through banks, bonds, funds, and project companies.

……

Before New Year’s Day.

An invitation letter from the preparatory working group for the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank was sent to the Chuang Sheng Hong Kong office.

In addition to the invitation, there was also a private phone call from the person in charge of the preparatory team.

It was the same middle-aged manager who had a closed-door exchange with Chen Mo in the northern suburbs of Kyoto at the end of July.

At the time, the other party hoped that Chen Mo would serve as the publicly announced Chief External Strategy Chairman.

Considering his age, his background in private capital, and the boundaries of a national-level platform, Chen Mo declined the overly conspicuous position.

The final confirmed roles for both parties were as Special Advisors on International Capital and Project Risk.

It is not public, it is not named, and it does not occupy a position in the establishment.

Chen Mo only provides research opinions on cross-border capital, infrastructure risks, and overseas industries, and does not participate in any administrative decision-making.

Over the past few months, he has submitted several internal documents to the preparatory group through Lu Zhilan.

The content covers short-term debt for long-term investment, local currency cash flow, exchange rate mismatch, and the binding methods between infrastructure and physical assets such as energy and ports.

This invitation is a formal invitation from the preparatory team to this non-public consultant to witness the opening ceremony.

The agreement for the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank has officially come into effect.

On January 16, the first board of directors will hold its inaugural meeting in Beijing to announce the official opening of the bank.

Chen Mo did not refuse.

The AIIB puts infrastructure, sovereign credit, and long-term capital from different countries on the same table.

Creation II has already begun to develop port, power, energy and transportation assets.

From both a national strategic perspective and the investment direction of creating the future, there is no reason for him to be absent.
