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

For the next two days, Chen Mo spent almost all his time in the conference room of the Four Seasons Hotel, with Cayman lawyers, Hong Kong company secretaries, Standard Chartered legal counsel, and audit consultants coming and going in turn.

The structure of Genesis Investment has finally been finalized.

The Cayman Islands-based entity is Genesis Investment, with its Hong Kong-based operating subsidiary being Genesis Asia Capital.

The ultimate holders, under Chen Mo's offshore trust, have all had their accounts expedited for Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Standard Chartered.

By the time the last document was signed, it was already the afternoon of the third day.

Lu Jingyi closed the folder and let out a soft sigh: "Xiao Mo, the most troublesome part on the Hong Kong side has been sorted out."

Chen Mo looked up at her.

In the past two days, she has been calling him "Xiao Mo" more and more naturally.

He felt awkward at first, but later he got too lazy to correct it.

"What about Jianing Holdings?" Chen Mo asked.

Lu Jingyi smiled slightly: "The Gu family has made arrangements. It's tonight at seven o'clock, still at the Four Seasons. But this time it's not the hotel conference room, it's the small banquet hall downstairs."

…… ...

7 PM.

Three people from the Gu family arrived.

Mr. Gu Changning, 67 years old, has gray hair, but is in good spirits.

His eldest son, Gu Cheng'an, returned from England, wearing thin-rimmed glasses and appearing completely uninterested in the family's old business.

There's also Gu Mingwei, the second daughter of the Gu family, who has lived in Canada for many years. She has a gentle temperament, but her eyes are sharp and shrewd.

They do want to sell the shell company, Jianing Holdings.

However, the buyers they had contacted in the past two years were either too aggressive in their price demands, had questionable sources of funds, or had complicated motives, which made Gu Jia hesitant to agree.

Chen Mo didn't beat around the bush. As soon as he sat down, he pushed over the documents from Chuangsheng Investment, Merrill Lynch's capital certificate, and the letter of intent for the transaction.

"Mr. Gu, what I want is control of Jianing Holdings."

Gu Changning looked at the excessively young man in front of him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

But when he saw the financial statement issued by Merrill Lynch, his surprise quickly turned into seriousness.

This is a truly wealthy buyer.

Moreover, the funds are clean and the structure is clear.

Gu Chengan spoke first: "Mr. Chen, our Gu family's previous asking price was 500 million Hong Kong dollars."

Chen Mo smiled faintly: "That's the listed price, not the transaction price."

Gu Cheng'an frowned slightly.

Chen Mo continued, "Jianing Holdings currently has a market capitalization of HK$3.4 million, with sluggish trading volume and no business growth. It's a clean shell, but that's all."

"I can pay a premium, but I won't pay for family-oriented sentiments."

Gu Mingwei glanced at Chen Mo: "Mr. Chen, how much can you offer?"

HK$3.5 million.

"Impossible." Gu Cheng'an immediately shook his head. "This price is too low."

Chen Mo did not refute, but simply looked at Gu Changning.

"Mr. Gu, HK$3.5 million, cash settlement. I will take over all 53.2% of the shares held by the Gu family. The funds required for the subsequent full takeover offer will be borne by Chuang Sheng Investment itself."

"At the same time, the list of Jianing Holdings' historical debts was jointly confirmed by both parties before the transaction. If any debts outside the list were to surface, Gujia would be responsible for them."

Gu Changning tapped his fingers lightly on the table and remained silent for a long time.

He could tell that Chen Mo wasn't there to haggle over the price; 3.5 million was a low but not humiliating price.

More importantly, Chen Mo was willing to settle in cash and avoid any messy leverage arrangements.

This was very attractive to Gu Changning, who was already getting on in years; he no longer wanted to waste his time clinging to this half-dead listed company.

Gu Mingwei said softly, "Dad, this condition... is negotiable."

Gu Cheng'an wanted to say something, but Gu Changning raised her hand to stop him.

The old man raised his head and looked at Chen Mo: "Mr. Chen, I can accept HK$3.5 million. But I have one condition."

"Please speak."

"The name Jia Ning will be retained for one year."

Chen Mo paused for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

A complex emotion flickered in Gu Changning's eyes: "Then it's a deal."

Lu Jingyi stood to the side, her heart skipping a beat.

In just a few words, the HK$3.5 million control deal was finalized.

Chen Mo is a man who doesn't waste words during negotiations; he doesn't beat around the bush or try to pressure people.

But every word seemed to hit the spot that the other person cared about most.

That evening, the two parties signed a preliminary acquisition memorandum.

Creation Investment will establish a regulated payment arrangement through Standard Chartered's Hong Kong account, paying a 10% earnest money deposit first, with the remaining amount to be paid in full after due diligence is completed and the equity transfer documents are signed.

HK$3.5 million, which is approximately US$4520 million at the current exchange rate.

This money was withdrawn from the Hong Kong cash pool corresponding to the Standard Chartered account.

Jia Ning Holdings has officially become the first Hong Kong stock piece in Chen Mo's overseas capital empire.

……

late at night.

The Presidential Suite at the Four Seasons Hotel.

Chen Mo sat at his desk, reorganizing the funds.

After the ruble, the net equity in offshore accounts was $4.216 million.

The preliminary arrangements are as follows:

Merrill Lynch account: $1.2 million, used as the main trading channel for Swiss francs.

Goldman Sachs account: $1 million, of which $6000 million is separately listed as the entrusted fund pool after Lu Jingyi's Xiling Mining swap to participate in Swiss franc transactions, and the remaining $4000 million is Chuangsheng's own reserve position.

Morgan Stanley account: $1 million, used as a Swiss franc sub-account and a channel for subsequent US stock financing.

Standard Chartered account: US$5000 million, originally intended as a transit point for funds in Asia; of which approximately US$4520 million was used for the acquisition of control of Canning Holdings and regulatory payment arrangements, and the remaining approximately US$480 million was kept for operations in Hong Kong.

Offshore trust safety cushion: US$5160 million, temporarily unused.

After settling the score, Chen Mo put down his pen.

The main players in Swiss franc trading remain Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley.

Jia Ning Holdings will temporarily resolve the issue with funds from Standard Chartered.

Lu Jingyi's $6000 million, nominally a replacement payment from Xiling Mining, will actually be recorded as separate income and settled after the Swiss franc transaction concludes.

This account is very clear and clean.

The next morning.

With the Hong Kong matter temporarily resolved, Lu Jingyi personally escorted Chen Mo to the airport.

In the VIP lounge, she took out her phone and waved it: "Xiao Mo, let's add each other on WeChat. We can't always rely on Merrill Lynch's email to contact each other."

Chen Mo smiled, took out his phone, and scanned her QR code.

The profile picture is a very simple night view of Victoria Harbour.

Her nickname is also very simple: Jingyi.

After successfully adding her, Lu Jingyi looked down at the chat box and smiled.

"I need to stay in Hong Kong to oversee the due diligence and account opening progress of Jianing Holdings. You can go back to Jiangcheng first?"

"Yes." Chen Mo nodded. "There are still some things to take care of over there."

"Xingxin Mining?"

"And schools."

Lu Jingyi was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

She almost forgot.

The man in front of me, who has just completed the Cayman Islands structure, opened accounts with four banks, and acquired a shell company for HK$3.5 million, is nominally still a senior high school student.

"Then I wish you a safe journey, Chen."

Chen Mo glanced at her helplessly: "Jingyi, don't smile so obviously."

"I'm sorry," Lu Jingyi apologized, but the smile in her eyes deepened. "I just couldn't help it."

As the boarding announcement sounded, Chen Mo stood up and picked up his luggage.

Lu Jingyi stood still, then suddenly whispered, "Xiao Mo."

"Um?"

"Regarding the Swiss franc issue, I'm waiting for your surprise."

Chen Mo looked at her and smiled calmly.

"I won't let you down."

After saying that, he turned and walked into the boarding gate.

Lu Jingyi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the VIP lounge, watching the plane slowly taxi towards the runway, her eyes gradually brightening.

Just how much of a surprise will this 18-year-old billionaire bring to himself?
