After breakfast, Yao Yuan went upstairs to change into formal clothes, then took a car to leave the villa and head straight for Central.

As soon as the convoy drove out of Baijia Road, he received a call from the Fairy Sister.

When the call was connected, Sister Fairy said excitedly:

"Honey, we are about to board the plane and will be in Hong Kong Island before noon. We will be able to see you soon, you bad guy."

Yao Yuan smiled softly, and then responded in a low voice:

"Got it, baby. I'll arrange for someone to pick you up at the airport. You guys go back to Mid-Levels first. I won't be home until the afternoon."

"Aunt Qiong, Lulu, and Mei Ting are all in the villa. They will help you prepare for the birthday party."

"Okay, honey, it doesn't really matter whether there's a birthday party or not, what matters is seeing you and being with you"

Sister Fairy said sweetly.

"I like to hear that. It's a bit adult-like, but the birthday party still needs to be held!"

Yao Yuan responded with a smile.

After chatting for a few more sentences, they ended the call.

After a short while, the convoy arrived safely at the bottom of the Bank of China Building.

As expected, a large number of media reporters gathered in front of the building, waiting to interview Yao Yuan.

There are several reasons why these guys are so active.

One reason is that Yao Yuan went to inspect TVB and Shaw Brothers on Saturday, and what he said at TVB and Shaw Brothers was the enviable salary and benefits they provided to the management and employees of TVB and Shaw Brothers.

In particular, the free provision of large-scale employee dormitories and luxurious apartments has made countless people in Hong Kong envious.

The second reason is that the stocks of TVB and Shaw Brothers Films resumed trading today.

Now everyone is speculating what kind of surge these two stocks will experience after they resume trading today.

There is no doubt that it will soar into the sky, but there are different opinions on how high it will rise, and there are many guesses.

The third reason is the shocking news that broke out in the international financial market this morning.

Bank of America invested 500 billion US dollars to acquire Merrill Lynch. This news has shocked the entire international financial market.

Like Merrill Lynch, Jiuye Investment Group is now one of the few capital giants in the international financial market, and its strength is even more astonishing!

In addition, Yao Yuan's judgment on the trends of the international financial market has always been extremely accurate and he has almost never failed!

As soon as the news of Bank of America's acquisition of Merrill Lynch broke out, almost all financial media in Hong Kong thought of Yao Yuan at the first moment and wanted to hear his opinion on this matter!

As a result, many media reporters rushed to the entrance of the Bank of China Building early in the morning, waiting for Yao Yuan's convoy to arrive.

Seeing the situation in front of the building from a distance, Yao Yuan said with a smile:

"Gao Huan, notify everyone to stop the convoy at the entrance of the building. I will enter the building through the main entrance."

"There are quite a few media reporters here today, and I just need their cooperation to put on a good show together."

Hearing this, Gao Huan and He Jiawei both laughed.

"Okay, Mr. Yao"

Gao Huan nodded in response.

He then picked up the intercom and notified everyone.

A moment later, the convoy stopped steadily at the entrance of the building.

Gao Huan and his men got off the car first and quickly dispersed to be on guard.

Security Director Mr. Peng, who received the news in advance, set up a cordon with security personnel early.

The group's public relations director and Li Shan came out of the building together and walked towards the convoy.

After making sure the scene was safe, Yao Yuan got out of the car and stood in front of the building.

As soon as he appeared, the media reporters gathered behind the cordon immediately began to rush to ask questions.

"Good morning, Mr. Yao, I am a reporter from TVB's financial channel. You just visited our channel on Saturday."

"I would like to ask, today the shares of TVB and Shaw Brothers Pictures resumed trading. What do you think of the trend of these two stocks?"

A beautiful TVB reporter asked loudly.

At this moment, the beauty was full of energy and spirit, and her gaze was full of vigor.

Compared with other reporters around her, she seemed quite proud and even felt a little superior to them.

Not only her, but also several other TVB reporters at the scene, as well as reporters from ATV and Ming Pao Group, etc., all behaved in the same way.

The reason why they did this was entirely because Yao Yuan and Jiuye Investment Group gave them sufficient confidence.

In contrast, other Hong Kong media reporters were clearly lacking in confidence and their eyes were filled with envy.

Yao Yuan looked at the beautiful TVB reporter, smiled and nodded.

"Hello, Miss Guan, I remember you. You are very beautiful today. Of course, you are beautiful and sexy every day. It is hard to give up your natural beauty!"

"Hahaha"

There was a loud laugh at the scene, and everyone laughed and looked at the beautiful reporter.

Looking at the beautiful reporter named Guan, she was also blushing and smiling.

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Yao. I am just average looking and can't be considered a beauty at all."

Yao Yuan smiled and returned to the topic.

"TVB and Shaw Brothers Pictures' stocks have indeed resumed trading today, and our group's acquisition has been basically completed."

"Although there is still some finishing work to be done, I don't think the two stocks will be resumed. TVB and Shaw Brothers are now subsidiaries of Jiuye Investment Group."

"Given this relationship, I certainly hope that these two stocks will rise sharply, bring rich returns to all investors, and make everyone smile."

"But considering that I am the chairman of Jiuye Investment Group and a direct stakeholder, I cannot publicly predict the trend and increase of these two stocks."

"All I can say here is that our group will increase investment in TVB and Shaw Brothers to help these two companies expand their markets and business scope and achieve better development."

"For example, we have actively cooperated with many TV stations in the mainland, developed international satellite TV business, launched digital transformation and upgrading, and carried out comprehensive cooperation with many video websites such as Feilong Online."

"Under Jiuye Investment, TVB and Shaw Brothers will develop better and better. All employees and management working in these two companies will enjoy generous salary and benefits and become the envy of others."

Not surprisingly, these words immediately caused a commotion at the scene.

The other media reporters behind the cordon were full of envy and jealousy.

The many onlookers passing by exclaimed in amazement.

"Wow! The Hong Kong stock market is about to open. There's no doubt that the share prices of TVB and Shaw Brothers Pictures will soar!"

"Mr. Yao is so generous. I envy those guys who hold TVB and Shaw Brothers Pictures stocks. They are going to make a fortune!"

Amid the discussions, a foreign reporter asked loudly:

"Good morning, Mr. Yao Yuan, I am a reporter for The New York Times in Hong Kong. I am very happy to interview you."

"Just over an hour ago, Bank of America and Merrill Lynch suddenly jointly issued a merger announcement."

"In this merger announcement, Bank of America announced that it would invest $500 billion to acquire Merrill Lynch. What do you think of this?"

"The completion of this super merger has caused a sensation in the entire international financial market. The international financial market generally believes that this is huge good news and is conducive to the stability of the international financial market."

"In this way, Merrill Lynch's problems can be solved smoothly. It will not go bankrupt due to huge losses and debt problems. The global financial crisis you have been insisting on will probably not break out. Do you agree?"

When you feel sleepy, someone will bring you a pillow. This is the question I’ve been waiting for!

Yao Yuan secretly complained, looked at the foreign reporter, then smiled and said loudly:

"Hello, my journalist friend, it's nice to meet you. Your question is very sharp, I have to answer it carefully!"

"Of course I have heard about this merger and acquisition case that has caused a sensation in the entire international financial market. First of all, I want to express my position. Jiuye Investment Group and I both welcome Bank of America's acquisition of Merrill Lynch and believe that this is a good thing!"

"This will be of great benefit to stabilizing the international financial market. Merrill Lynch is too big, controlling trillions of dollars in capital and is the third largest investment bank on Wall Street."

"If Merrill Lynch went bankrupt, it would have had a huge impact on the international financial market and even directly triggered a global financial crisis. Fortunately, this did not happen immediately. Merrill Lynch did not go bankrupt, but was acquired by Bank of America."

"However, I want to remind everyone that although Merrill Lynch has avoided bankruptcy and survived through mergers and acquisitions, its problems have not been solved and all problems still exist."

"It doesn't mean that Merrill Lynch's acquisition will eliminate the huge losses of this top financial institution, nor does it mean that Merrill Lynch will no longer have to repay its huge debts. The losses will not be reduced at all, and Merrill Lynch still has to repay its debts."

"From this point of view, neither Merrill Lynch nor the entire international financial market has changed much after the merger. The possibility of a global financial crisis still exists, but it has been suppressed by mergers and acquisitions."

"In view of this, our Jiuye Investment's basic judgment on the trend of the international financial market has not changed. What is supposed to happen will still happen at the right time. As for when that time will be, I can't say for sure now."

"Although I believe that this global financial crisis is inevitable, I still hope that it will not break out. Once this financial crisis breaks out, it will inevitably bring a huge impact on the global economy. However, hope is always beautiful, and reality is often cruel..."

After he said this, the reporter from the New York Times was suddenly speechless!

He, like some other optimistic reporters, felt as if they had suddenly realized something!

Yes! Merrill Lynch was acquired, but no problems were solved!

The laughter and joy in the international financial market today are nothing but artificial illusions!

Next, Yao Yuan answered a few more questions.

He took the opportunity to make his attitude clear and clear himself of responsibility before ending the interview and going upstairs surrounded by Li Shan and the others.

As a result, as soon as they arrived at the office floor, they were startled by a sudden cheer.
