My 1999

"I heard that Mr. Qiu has recovered well these days and has left Qiu Deba Hospital to go home." Lu Hui said.

"Is the news reliable?"

"It should be true."

Xu Liang played with the invitation in his hand.

To be honest, when An Kaiyue was already 37 weeks pregnant and was due to give birth at any time, he didn't want to go anywhere.

But the Qiu family has been of great help to him in the past two years.

In addition to selling him the shares of Standard Chartered at market price two years ago, making him a major shareholder of Standard Chartered, he also played a lot of role in Jianlibao's acquisition of Master Kong.

Coupled with the cooperation between the two parties in the hotel industry, the relationship is very close.

Therefore, the day after Xu Liang arrived in Singapore, he went to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital to see the old man who was hospitalized.

"You reply for me, I will go to the banquet tomorrow."

"OK."

"Has Fu Jixun arrived?"

"When I called just now, I was already at Chicago Street."

"When he arrives, bring him to my study."

"Um."

Xu Liang turned around and went downstairs.

His estate on Nathan Road in Singapore covers an area of ​​7,989 square meters, or 12 acres.

In Singapore, where land is at a premium, a manor like this is almost the best of the best.

The space is larger and the design is more flexible.

In addition to the central two-story, 1,894-square-meter mansion, there is also an annex building of about 500 square meters, a greenhouse of 320 square meters, as well as private tennis courts, swimming pools and other supporting facilities.

Therefore, the green protection rate of the entire manor is very high. The only drawback is that there are a lot of mosquitoes in summer.

In order to take care of this large manor, Xu Liang hired 12 Filipino maids to take care of the cleaning, plus three cooks specially hired from China, as well as security guards and drivers arranged by him personally, adding up to exactly 35 people.

Xu Liang's study is very large, nearly 150 square meters.

It is divided into two parts: office and reception.

There is not much to say about the reception area. The most attractive thing about the office area is the row of large bookshelves.

Although the bookshelf made of mahogany has no complicated decoration, the dazzling array of books adds a bit of bookishness to the whole room.

Unfortunately, I didn’t read most of the books.

Xu Liang picked up the "Autobiography of Li Jiacheng" on the table and flipped through it.

Celebrity biographies are indeed the best way to understand the family history of celebrities, but they also contain a lot of private information.

Especially for those with dirty foundations, publishing a book is the most suitable way to clear their name.

If the book is popular, it can also help the development of its companies, killing two birds with one stone.

Especially now, Lao Li's autobiography is not only popular in China, but also in the Chinese community. It has successfully made Lao Li an outstanding national entrepreneur in the eyes of the general public and even some officials.

With this filter, how much good land did Hutchison Whampoa and Yangtze River acquire in the mainland? !

Although the paper could not contain the fire in the end, Lao Li took action.

But in more than ten years, the market value of Hutchison Whampoa and Yangtze River has increased nearly ten times.

"Should I also learn to publish an autobiography, or "Xu Liang Talks about Entrepreneurship", "The Secret History of Hongmeng", "Xu Liang Said: My Story" or something?"

Xu Liang touched his chin with longing.

Rich people also need packaging.

And packaging it well can save countless publicity funds.

After being ready to move for a while, Xu Liang sighed and threw Lao Li's autobiography into the trash can.

Although celebrity entrepreneurs have many benefits, the backlash also comes with huge costs.

As popular as Lao Li and Jack Ma were at the beginning, they will be so beard later on.

It's better for him not to feel uncomfortable.

Dong Dong…….

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

"Boss, Mr. Fu is here."

"Let him in."

Lu Hui nodded and turned her body sideways, making a gesture of invitation.

Fu Jixun, who was waiting outside, stepped in.

He has splayed eyebrows and a slightly dark complexion. He gives off a simple and honest impression at first glance.

He wears a light blue suit without a tie. He only wears a black round-neck T-shirt underneath, blue jeans and sneakers. He does not look like a financial elite, but more like someone from Silicon Valley or Zhongguancun. programmer.

"Mr. Xu."

He was about to shake hands, but he didn't expect Xu Liang to come up and give him a warm hug.

"Jixun, we haven't seen each other for more than two years since we last parted in the capital, right?"

Fu Jixun, who was quite flattered, smiled and said: "At that time, I had just invested in Baidu on behalf of Defengjie."

“We were rivals then, and now we are partners.”

Half a month ago, Fu Jixun officially became a partner of Hanhua Venture Capital Department and was responsible for the investment of Mars 9 Fund.

No. 9 Fund is located in the Singapore branch and targets the entire Southeast Asian market.

Fu Jixun is a native Singaporean and is the most suitable person in charge of Fund 9.

"Of course, it was that experience of being an opponent that left a deep impression on me. At that time, I wanted to recruit you to Hanhua. Unfortunately, Hanhua had just been established at that time, and it was far inferior to those in the global venture capital industry. Defengjie is born in water.

Until now, we at Hanhua barely have a certain status in the global venture capital industry, so we dare to send you an invitation. "

"Mr. Xu's talent has allowed Hanhua to develop into a global private equity giant that dominates the four major fields of venture capital, private equity, mergers and acquisitions and hedge funds in just four years. It is really admirable!"

Fu Jixun's words were more sincere.

Hanhua's trump card is private equity and hedge funds, but in the field of venture capital, it is still a bit behind DFJ.

The reason why Fu Jixun gave up on Der Fengjie and chose Hanhua, whose remuneration did not increase much, was that he was optimistic about its future development. To be more precise, he was optimistic about Xu Liang's future.

There is a consensus in the business community that the most critical factor in how far a company can develop lies in its person in charge.

There is also a well-known saying in China: a train can run fast only because of its headband.

An excellent business manager can lead an excellent company.

A great business manager can lead a Fortune 500 company.

Xu Liang spent four years and used more and more profits time and time again to prove that he was not a flash in the pan, but really had amazing financial talent.

This is also one of the reasons why Hanhua’s financing exploded in 2004.

"You, this old man, are very good at praising others. However, Hanhua's development is not only due to me alone, but also to the contributions of 1,239 colleagues. In the future, you will also be credited."

"I will do my best to contribute to the development of Hanhua and live up to Mr. Xu's regard."

"Haha, I believe you."

Patted him on the shoulder.

"Come, sit down and talk."

The two came to the reception area and sat down.

Lu Hui served tea.

"Try it, the third generation Dahongpao I specially brought from China, it tastes very good."

"It is mellow and soft, with a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth. It is indeed a good tea."

"Whenever I get the tea leaves from the three Dahongpao mother trees in Wuyi Mountain's Jiulong Nest, I will definitely invite you to taste them together."

"Then I'm just waiting for Mr. Xu's 'kingdom'?"

Xu Liang was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and nodded with a smile.

This allusion of "country and mountains" was left by Elder Mao.

When Lao Ni visited China, Elder Mao presented him with four taels of Dahongpao mother plant tea leaves.

The old nun didn't know that the Dahongpao mother plant had a small yield and was extremely precious. He once complained privately that Elder Mao was stingy.

When Elder Zhou found out, he explained to the old nun: "The emperor has given away 'half of the country'."

A piece of Dahongpao, a piece of news spread.

After taking a few sips.

"What are your thoughts on the development of Fund No. 9?"

“I used to invest in China on behalf of DFJ, but now I suddenly return to Singapore. To be honest, I don’t say I am blind, but the situation is not much better.

However, I still have many classmates here. If you ask around more, I believe you can find many good companies. "

There was a pause.

"Mr. Xu, I think the startup incubators in China and the United States are very good systems, so I also want to set up a startup incubator in Singapore."

"Yes, no problem. Since Fund No. 9 is entrusted to you, you have full power to control US$200 million. ... However, the Internet industry in Southeast Asia has just started, and I'm afraid there are not many qualified investment targets."

"The Internet has the greatest potential, and we must seize it. In addition, I also plan to pay attention to catering and medical care."

Xu Liang nodded. Although the Southeast Asian market is vast, its economic development prospects are far less than those of China.

In addition, the mobile era has not yet arrived, and China's development dividends have not spilled over.

An Internet market alone cannot support Fund No. 9.

"Mr. Xu, the Indian market also has great potential. Can it be included?"

"No, never."

Xu Liang refused very simply.

No matter how promising others thought the pit was, he was determined not to step into it.

The third brother has too much shit in his pants.

Xiaomi is not that miserable, but Bangzi is even worse.

In 2004, South Korea's Posco Steel invested US$12 billion to build a factory in Sange.

When the steel plant was completed and about to be put into operation, the third brother saw that the "sow was out of the market" and resorted to various means to create difficulties, including fines and lawsuits. He continued to fight hard for 12 years.

In the end, South Korea's Posco Steel ran away without producing a pound of steel and paid more than 12 billion U.S. dollars, which was equivalent to building a steel plant and developing iron ore for the third brother.

Vodafone isn't bad either.

In 2007, Vodafone, one of the world's largest mobile network companies, was fined US$2.1 billion for tax evasion.

This is US$2.1 billion in 2007.

Vodafone naturally refused and kept appealing.

When the third brother saw it, he shouted and dared to resist.

Heavy penalties.

The fine was increased to US$5.1 billion overnight, threatening to push Vodafone into bankruptcy.

The two sides will meet with good people and eventually appeal to the international arbitration court, where Vodafone ultimately wins.

Although the third brother's government stole the chicken but lost the rice, it revised domestic laws overnight and retroactively levied anti-dumping duties.

In addition to these two brothers who suffered heavy losses, there are many more "little misfortunes".

In 2008, the third brother fined Microsoft 7 billion rupees on the grounds that the tax payment amount was insufficient.

In 2013, Third Brother fined mobile phone giant Nokia US$256 million for unfair competition.

In 2013, the third brother followed suit and fined German BMW US$100 million on the grounds of anti-import laws.
