91: Chapter 91 Additional Investment

At 9:00 AM, Li Xin appeared at the Xinyuan Capital office right on time.

He was wearing a dark blue polo shirt today, no tie, looking like an ordinary office worker. But Li Jiayi knew that this "ordinary office worker" held over 50 billion USD in cash in his hands.

In the conference room, Li Jiayi had already prepared the documents. Six reports were spread out on the table, corresponding to six stocks. The laptop screen displayed trading software, with red and green numbers jumping.

"Mr. Li, please sit." Li Jiayi pulled out a chair.

Li Xin sat down and took the coffee she handed him. "Let's begin."

Li Jiayi opened the projector, and a chart appeared on the screen.

"This is our current position."

She clicked the mouse, and the screen switched.

Existing Position Details:

Company | Shares Held | Market Value

Apple | 1.6188 million shares | ~243 million USD

Microsoft | 3.0629 million shares | ~214 million USD

Google | 0.2379 million shares | ~214 million USD

Amazon | 0.2498 million shares | ~212 million USD

Tencent | 8.3255 million shares | ~215 million USD

Alibaba | 2.2444 million shares | ~224 million USD

"In total," Li Jiayi said, "the total market value is approximately 1.422 billion USD."

Li Xin nodded. "These are the results from the initial position building and subsequent additions. The overall performance is good, with a floating profit of about 220 million."

"Yes. Apple, Amazon, and Tencent have all risen by about 50%, Microsoft by 40%, and Google and Alibaba are slightly weaker."

"That's normal. It's impossible for every stock to rise the same amount." Li Xin put down his coffee cup. "Now, we need to make additional investments on top of our existing positions."

He took his phone out of his pocket, opened his bank account, and handed it to Li Jiayi to look at.

"I just injected 49 billion USD into the Xinyuan Capital master account."

Li Jiayi took the phone and glanced at it, her pupils shrinking slightly. 49 billion USD, plus the existing 1.4 billion, the total account would exceed 50 billion.

"Mr. Li, are you putting your entire net worth into the company?"

"Yes." Li Xin leaned back in his chair. "Money belongs in the company, for unified management and unified investment. You are responsible for execution, and I am responsible for decision-making."

Li Jiayi took a deep breath and handed the phone back to him. "Understood."

"Now we need to make additional investments on top of the original positions. The total additional budget is 30 billion USD."

"In batches?"

"In batches. The first batch is 20 billion, the second batch is 5 billion after one month, and the third batch is 5 billion two months after that."

Li Jiayi typed a few times on the keyboard. "Understood. So, how should it be allocated?"

Li Xin stood up, walked to the whiteboard, and picked up a marker.

"Add 15 billion USD to US stocks, 10 billion USD to Hong Kong stocks, and 5 billion USD to Europe and others."

He drew a table on the whiteboard.

1. US Stock Additional Plan (15 billion USD):

Li Xin threw the pen on the table and turned around.

"15 billion USD for US stocks, 10 billion USD for Hong Kong stocks, and 5 billion USD for Europe and others. Totaling 30 billion USD."

Li Jiayi stared at the computer screen, her fingers dancing on the keyboard.

"Mr. Li, let me summarize. The first phase adds 20 billion USD, distributed as — 10 billion USD for US stocks, 6.5 billion USD for Hong Kong stocks, and 3.5 billion USD for Europe and others?"

"Yes. The remaining 10 billion USD will be split into two batches, 5 billion USD each after one month and two months."

"Understood."

Li Xin sat back in his chair and took a sip of coffee. "Tesla, NVIDIA, Parody, JD.com, Xiaomi, Baidu, BYD, and Tata Group are all new positions. Pay attention to controlling the pace of buying."

Li Jiayi nodded. "I will use algorithmic trading to split orders into smaller ones and spread them out over different time periods."

"Good."

The two discussed for another half hour, finalizing the price range, daily limits, and total duration for each stock.

Li Jiayi entered all the data into the system and generated an execution plan.

"Mr. Li, please take a look."

Li Xin took it, read it from beginning to end, and then picked up a pen to sign it.

"This works. Start the execution."

Li Jiayi picked up the phone and dialed a number. "Manager Zhang, start the first phase of the additional investment plan. For the US stock portion, buy Apple and Microsoft today, 500 million USD each."

After hanging up, she looked at Li Xin. "The first batch of instructions has been sent."

Li Xin nodded, slowly stood up, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. The weather in Shenzhen was exceptionally good today. Looking at the high-rise buildings, mountains, rivers, and seas in the distance, he felt exceptionally comfortable.

The investment plan had been formulated, and the additional investment had been launched. The first phase of 20 billion USD had an estimated execution cycle of 30 days.

Now Xinyuan Capital possessed assets exceeding 50 billion USD.

Stock holdings would soon exceed 16.4 billion USD (original 1.4 billion + additional 15 billion).

Cash reserves were approximately 34 billion USD. Everything was on the right track.

"Li Jiayi, I'll leave the rest to you. I'll come back next week."

"Where are you going?"

"To hang out with the brothers. Haven't seen them in a long time."

Li Xin walked out of the office, paused at the door, and looked back. Li Jiayi was already sitting at the computer, focused on the screen, her fingers typing rapidly on the keyboard.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he turned and left.

At 3:00 PM, Li Xin was still at the Old Place BBQ Restaurant.

The shop was the same, the sign at the entrance had been replaced with a new one, but the tables and chairs inside were the same as before. Luo Maifa, Yang Hong, and Qiang Zi had already arrived and were sitting around a table.

"Li Xin..." Luo Maifa was the first to see him, smiling as he stood up and waved. "Over here... over here!"

Li Xin walked over and sat down. The table was already full of skewers and beer, and the lamb skewers were sizzling on the charcoal fire, with the smell of cumin and chili powder filling the room.

"How have you guys been lately?" Li Xin sat down, picked up a lamb skewer, and took a bite.

"I'm doing pretty well." Luo Maifa gulped down a beer. "The logistics company made a good profit last month, and your dividend has been deposited into your card."

"Received."

"Yang Hong's side is developing very rapidly." Luo Maifa pointed to Yang Hong. "Their product users have exceeded one million."

Li Xin looked at Yang Hong, his eyebrows lifting with joy. "Really?"

Yang Hong habitually pushed up his glasses and smiled, nodding. "Currently, there are over 200,000 daily active users, and the data is good. We are currently discussing Series A financing, and several investment institutions are interested."

"That's great. Let me know if you need money."

"Not for now." Yang Hong smiled. "The cash flow is fine for now. We'll talk about it later."

Qiang Zi was gnawing on a kidney on the side. After finishing one, he wiped his mouth. "Tie Zhu's fifth branch is opening next month in Longhua. Business is getting better and better, and he asked me to thank you."

"What's there to thank? It's because he's willing to work hard himself."

The four of them ate and chatted, from the company to life, from life to the old days. Luo Maifa drank too much and started bragging, saying he wanted to make the logistics company one of the top three in the country. Yang Hong teased him on the side, saying he was bragging again. Qiang Zi didn't speak, just laughed.

Li Xin leaned back in his chair, looking at the three of them.

This feeling was very good. Very grounded.

He remembered two years ago when he was still moving bricks at a construction site, living in a rented house, and eating instant noodles. At that time, he thought his life would just be like that. Now, he sat on over 50 billion USD, and had these brothers by his side; his life was complete.

They chatted until past 9:00 PM, and the four of them parted ways, still enjoying themselves. Luo Maifa was dead drunk and couldn't even walk, so Qiang Zi had to help him. Yang Hong was still sober enough to take a taxi home by himself.

Li Xin stood at the entrance of the BBQ restaurant, watching them leave, and couldn't help but smile, muttering to himself, "It's really good to have you guys here. I hope our friendship never changes. Since I have the ability to choose now, in this life, I will let you all choose the life you want."

"Beep... beep..." A honk pulled his thoughts back to reality. He shook his slightly dazed head and sent a message to Li Jiayi.

"How is the progress of the first phase of additional investment?"

Li Jiayi replied instantly: "Bought 500 million USD of Apple and 500 million USD of Microsoft today. The average price was well controlled. Continuing tomorrow."

Li Xin replied with a "Good" and put his phone in his pocket.

He called a car and returned to One Shenzhen Bay.

The car traveled through the night, and the city outside the window was brightly lit.

He leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes.

Tomorrow, back to work.
