Su's father came to eat a meal, and it was just a meal.

Not being stopped at the gate of the Tang family's old house was already a victory for him. As for reconciliation, it would ultimately depend on Su Yehao's mother's wishes, and Old Master Tang's attitude was secondary.

This time, Su's father didn't trick his son.

The US dollars he promised to bring to Su Yehao were indeed brought, totaling more than 1.4 million US dollars, casually packed in a cardboard box. It was said to be the final payment for a residential building construction project carried out by the Sihai International construction team. The accounts had been smoothed out, and there was no need to put it into the company's books.

A few years ago, that small real estate developer, facing a winter where house prices and land prices were falling and buyers were unmoved, the boss was already preparing to run away to Southeast Asia to escape debt.

Unexpectedly, the Casino real estate market began to warm up this year, allowing the other party to revive, and only then did he have the money to pay off Su's father's final payment.

After lunch.

Su Yehao brought so many US dollars home, and for a while he didn't know what to do with them. He simply gave each of the bodyguards and assistants around him a bonus of $5,000, and even the family's servants and security guards were not left out.

Having reached his level, the importance of maintaining good relationships with the people around him was beyond doubt. Only by making them believe that they must keep this good job would they not have idle mouths and run out to say things they shouldn't.

Previously, a newcomer in the assistant's office sold the news of Su Yehao making money to a newspaper for a mere few thousand dollars. Afterward, Su Yehao spent two to three million US dollars in public relations expenses to get rid of the hat that others had put on his head.

As his strength increased, the impact of his every move became too great. Perhaps a little thing could involve billions of dollars in gains and losses, so of course, he had to maintain good relationships with the people around him and couldn't be stingy with money.

After sending out seventeen or eighteen thousand US dollars at once, the remaining money was handed over to Nangong Tian to manage, letting her take Jiang Yu with her to buy clothes and go shopping. The extra money was stored in the vault in the basement.

Successfully distracting the two girls, Su Yehao ran to Barker Road again.

Nong Qingying had already prepared a birthday gift for him, an Audemars Piguet watch with an exaggerated design. The white gold case was inlaid with碎钻(suì zuàn, crushed diamonds), and even the strap was full of them, sparkling on his wrist.

In the evening, he went to Casino.

Before having dinner with the Second Madam, he met with Yin Liuli.

This girl didn't know where she found a painting by Tang Bohu, *Moon Spring Scroll*, spending eight million Hong Kong dollars on it. Because she didn't know how to authenticate it, she only said to let Su Yehao find someone to take a look.

After asking, he learned that it was bought from Rongbaozhai in Liulichang, Si Jiu City, which immediately put Su Yehao at ease.

This time-honored antique shop has been around for more than 300 years. He has personally visited and bought items from them, and they also operate an auction house, so their reputation is quite good.

After hearing this, Yin Liuli finally breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know anything about these things, and she was most afraid of buying fake goods.

Wasting money was secondary, but giving Su Yehao a fake gift would be a great embarrassment...

...

The birthday event came to an end.

In the following two days, Su Yehao was busy dealing with the affairs of SSSSS Asset Management Company.

He drew funds raised from Hong Kong City and the Mainland, plus 5S Asset Management's own funds, preparing to officially launch external investment and wealth management work. The target list tentatively included Wuliangye, Gree, Vanke, SPD Bank, AIA Insurance, HSBC, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and so on.

Including the more than 9 billion Hong Kong dollars in the 5S Asset Management Company's account, the total assets under management had reached about 12.6 billion Hong Kong dollars. The vast majority of the funds raised from the outside were willing to put money in his hands because of Su Yehao's reputation for making money.

Su Yehao personally came to the company to "work overtime." Many middle and senior managers of 5S Asset Management Company's Hong Kong City headquarters also rushed over after hearing the news.

He was personally holding the position of CEO, and three vice presidents were also equipped. They were two elites drawn from China Merchants Group and CITIC, plus a Cambridge Business School graduate with a double doctorate in management and finance, who had worked at Morgan Stanley for many years, mainly responsible for Asian business before. His qualifications and personal conditions were outstanding.

On Sunday morning.

Su Yehao handed the proposed list to the three vice presidents, who were all stunned.

Because in their opinion, Su Yehao had just said that he would pick some investment projects in the morning, and less than an hour had passed, the list actually came out, which was a bit too much like child's play.

Fortunately, Su Yehao's achievements were there. A super-rich with a net worth of over 100 billion Hong Kong dollars was far beyond the scope that "luck" could explain.

So they only thought that Su Yehao had an idea in advance and had someone investigate the companies on the list, and they were not too surprised.

The vice president selected from China Merchants Group was named Wang Yangyu.

He was only forty years old this year and had been engaged in securities investment before. After reading the list, he was slightly surprised because they were all familiar companies, none of which were surprising, and seemed too conventional.

Having been trained in the original unit for a long time, those who can get to the top would not have low emotional intelligence. After reading it, Vice President Wang only smiled and said, "These are all good companies. We have selected companies from both the Mainland and Hong Kong City for portfolio investment. President Su obviously has great confidence in the development of the domestic economy."

Another Vice President Sun, drawn from CITIC, immediately said:

"Of course, it is estimated that the matter of joining the WTO will soon be settled. Now that the Southeast Asian economy has collapsed, and companies in Europe, America, and Japan have also moved into the Mainland, it is an absolute benefit for both the Mainland and Hong Kong City, which is a bridgehead for foreign economy!"

The double-doctorate graduate who had worked at Morgan Stanley, was also thirty-nine years old this year, and his name was Chen Jiafang.

Vice President Chen could understand Mandarin and spoke it fluently. At this moment, he looked at Su Yehao and asked:

"With the scale of our company, direct venture capital and private equity investment are obviously more profitable than investing in the secondary market. If we invest in listed companies, we can completely operate by issuing new shares, the purchase price will be much cheaper, and it will be more beneficial to our investors."

In the large conference room, in addition to the four of them, there was also a secretary in charge of recording the meeting, and Linda Yun, who was already lost in thought.

After waiting for them to finish speaking, Su Yehao nodded and explained:

"I am indeed very optimistic about the development potential of the Mainland and Hong Kong City. Venture capital and private equity investment are not urgent, and overseas investment is the same. This time, we plan to use about 5 billion Hong Kong dollars to first create a regular stock fund to test the waters. As long as this portfolio achieves results, we will not be afraid that no one will invest money with us for management in the future."

"Haste makes waste. The company has just gotten on the right track. Being steady is more important than anything." Vice President Wang, from China Merchants Group, chimed in with polite words.

Since being selected to work at 5S Asset Management Company, Vice President Wang's basic income has suddenly increased twenty times, with a starting salary of 3 million Hong Kong dollars.

This number seems exaggerated, but the top financial executives in Hong Kong City can indeed get this amount.

For example, Zheng Yongwen, the deputy director of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, can earn tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars a year, including salary, bonuses, and equity rewards, as long as he achieves results, which is on par with the salary and benefits in Europe and the United States.

Su Yehao, who holds the position of CEO, can also receive an annual salary of 12 million Hong Kong dollars as a hands-off manager, and the four major Mainland groups that cooperated to establish 5S Asset Management asked him to personally take on this job.

After all, with Su Yehao's reputation, he could easily attract some investors and create profits for the company that would exceed this salary expense.

Moreover, Su Yehao himself is the major shareholder of 5S Asset Management, which is equivalent to him paying part of the salary to himself...
