Return to Singapore 1995

At this time, two familiar big men came to chat with Sir Monaxi and Old Sun with wine glasses.

So, only Li Xiaofan and Carolina were left in the corner to continue the conversation.

Carolina smiled and said, "Mr. Li, you are from Singapore. I thought you were a tourist from Taiwan or Japan this afternoon."

"I am from Singapore, but I am Chinese. The company's headquarters is temporarily in Singapore..." Li Xiaofan explained and asked, "Carolina, have you been to Singapore or mainland China?"

"No, but I really want to have the opportunity to travel to the place you mentioned."

After the two chatted for a while, Sir Monaxi asked Carolina to go over and meet and communicate with some big men...

The next morning, the sun was shining, and Old Sun called Li Xiaofan to go to the nearby Sawtooth National Forest Park with Sir Monaxi and Carolina's father and daughter to play fly fishing.

Fly fishing in the Sawtooth National Forest Park in Sun Valley, Idaho is the most attractive leisure activity.

Fly fishing is a unique fishing method, known as the golf of fishing, and originated in Europe. Traditional lure fishing uses the weight of the bait to cast the bait, while fly fishing uses the weight of the fly line and uses a technique similar to throwing a rope to transfer power to cast the bait.

Fly fishing is suitable for fishing in streams, rivers and other places with relatively lush vegetation. Generally, people stand in shallow water, fly the fishing line, cast a beautiful curve, and blend harmoniously with nature to form a beautiful landscape.

Li Xiaofan has no experience in fly fishing. Fortunately, Sir Monasse and his daughter are very experienced.

Sir Monasse asked Carolina to coach Li Xiaofan: "Caroline, teach Mr. Li the technique of fly casting..."

After that, Sir Monasse and Old Sun and others slowly moved forward along the stream into the valley while fishing.

Carolina, who was wearing a gray casual fishing suit and leather pants, patiently began to teach Li Xiaofan who stayed behind:

"Mr. Li, fly fishing is a fishing method that uses bionic bait to imitate flies, mosquitoes, dragonflies and other winged insects falling into the water to stimulate ferocious predatory fish in the water. The core of fly fishing skills is like silently dropping a fly on the water surface, and then pulling the line to simulate the insect's struggling and swimming movements, which is fatal to many fish. This is the fishing principle of fly fishing..."

"Because the weight of the hair hook used as bait is almost zero, the casting action must be achieved by the linearity determined by the shape and specific gravity of the line..."

Li Xiaofan quickly got the hang of it under Carolina's careful guidance. This fly fishing method is very similar to the hair fishing in their hometown.

The unique environment of Sun Valley Sawtooth National Forest Park is naturally a paradise for fly fishing.

Lush woods and slowly flowing streams.

After Sir Monaxi and Old Sun and others left in front, the surroundings were very quiet.

Li Xiaofan closed his eyes gently,

The water flowed, the breeze sounded,

He listened to the sounds of nature quietly, and people and nature merged into one, feeling very relaxed...

He opened his eyes, and Carolina next to him began to fly-fish in the water.

With the combination of strength and flexibility, the fishing line in her hand danced in the air.

When the bait gently fell on the water, it was like an insect falling into the water and drifting with the stream.

Then she began to slowly reel in the line, and the naughty fish under the water occasionally poked out their curious heads to try to bite the bait and chase the bait...

Raising the rod, catching the fish, and removing the hook, Carolina's fly-fishing movements were very beautiful and done in one go.

Carolina caught a beautiful Arctic fennel.

She told Li Xiaofan that this fish is known as the elf prince among cold-water fish. It likes to live in clear flowing water with gravel bottom and mainly feeds on aquatic insects and larvae. The fish body looks particularly colorful under the sunlight.

Soon, Li Xiaofan followed Carolina and also caught a Taimen salmon. Carolina told Li Xiaofan that the Taimen salmon he caught was known as the "wolf in the river" and was one of the most ferocious carnivorous fish species among cold-water freshwater fish. It likes to live in low-temperature deep water. Large fallen trees with fast-flowing water, the intersection of rapids, and obstacles are all places where they like to play.

At noon, Carolina took Li Xiaofan to catch up with Sir Monaxi and Old Sun and others, and joined their large group.

Everyone's lunch food was made from local materials.

Carolina was very capable and helped everyone to make a fire and boil water. She didn't have the slightest delicate air.

Li Xiaofan helped Carolina wash the fish in the stream, scooped two scoops of stream water, added a little salt, and cooked a pot of hot fish soup over a blazing firewood.

Drinking the delicious fish soup, Li Xiaofan felt as if a warm current was injected into his body.

In the wilderness, drinking a bowl of warm soup seems to be the greatest satisfaction at this moment.

The delicious fish soup, plus a few pieces of black bread brought when leaving in the morning, is a simple cooking, but it feels like the most delicious meal to Li Xiaofan.

Sometimes the simplest happiness is nothing more than this.

At this time, the clear blue sky, fresh air, white clouds, green mountains, and green waters, everyone is fully immersed in the world, and the beautiful picture of man and nature is frozen.

Away from the hustle and bustle, empty yourself, at this time, how much wealth everyone has on the scene is no longer important.

Enjoying the gift of nature, looking at the simple and natural Carolina next to him, Li Xiaofan suddenly "realized" something.

What do we pursue in our lifetime?

…

After the Sun Valley Summit, Li Xiaofan returned to Singapore.

In the second quarter of this year, the Ministry of Trade and Industry of Singapore released data showing that Singapore's economy turned from negative growth to positive growth, led by external demand, and quickly recovered from the Asian economic crisis. Electronic product sales were the main driving force for economic growth, especially the rapid increase in sales of mobile phones and semiconductor products exported to the Asia-Pacific region.

The head of the Singapore Stock Exchange SGX approached Li Xiaofan and hoped that he would list Singapore Apollo Systems Pte. Ltd. on the Singapore Stock Exchange SGX. Li Xiaofan declined the invitation. His goal was to list Singapore Apollo Systems Pte. Ltd. on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Then, he began to set up a dazzling equity structure, and began to set up offshore trusts and overseas charitable funds...

In 2000, after the New Year, Li Xiaofan began to sell and reduce his Yahoo shares and some Pacific Online Bookstore shares, cashing out more than $12 billion.

On March 10, the US Nasdaq index reached its then-historical high of 5048 points. The whole world was crazy about the technological revolution brought by the Internet.

After 5,000 points, Li Xiaofan led the investment team to start shorting the Nasdaq index and individual stocks.

Soon, the Nasdaq index stayed above 5,000 points for only a short time, and the US Internet technology bubble burst. In the following year, the Nasdaq index plummeted 66% to below 2,000 points. There are many well-known technology companies whose company stocks became waste paper almost overnight.

Amazon, the largest online bookstore in the United States, saw its stock price fall from more than $100 to single digits, and its stock price fell by more than 90% in just one year. Cisco, one of the world's largest network equipment companies, saw its stock price fall from $80 to around $13, a drop of 84%...

During the bursting of the US Internet bubble, Li Xiaofan made a fortune! By the end of 2000, the wealth he controlled exceeded $50 billion.

In the second quarter of 2000, the first phase of the "Silicon Harbor" project in Hong Kong Island and Dr. Zhang's Loongson International eight-inch wafer project were completed and put into production.

The "Huaxia Core" project led by Academician Ni was successfully launched in China...

The wealth of Yifan Group controlled by Li Xiaofan is increasing at a terrifying rate every year.

But he knows: a big tree attracts the wind, and a high reputation will cause the wind to shake the tree, and a high reputation will cause the reputation to lose the person.

Therefore, since 2000, Li Xiaofan has rarely appeared in public, and he has handed over all the company's business to the management team.

He started a leisurely life like a wild crane, after all, there are so many girlfriends who need him to take care of...

...

In 2021, people in the world are talking about the world's richest man Musk's Tesla, SpaceX, SolarCity, StarLink, Neuralink, Modelπ mobile phone, Hyperloop, BoringCompany and OpenAI and other nine companies that subvert the world! Musk wants to take over the future of earth civilization?

But people don't know that the real boss behind this is Li Xiaofan.

At this moment, Li Xiaofan is playing the "Metaverse" game with the dozen or so underage children in his manor...
