My 1999

However, as the time entered September, he had to put aside his comfortable life and start preparing for a trip to the United States.

Poster Online said that September 11th was the beginning of the decline of the United States, and the subprime mortgage crisis was the first death knell. He must be there to witness this crucial historical moment.

"Brother, your university is about to start in September, why are you still running around?"

Xu Meng looked at Xu Liang who was packing his things and couldn't help but ask.

"I've already made an agreement with the school. From now on, I don't need to go to school on time, or participate in military training. It's up to me when I go to class and when I finish class."

Xu Meng's eyes widened, "So good?"

"Of course, who made your brother the richest man in the mainland now?" Xu Liang said with a smile.

It’s hard to find a rich and well-known alumnus. Which school would be stupid enough to offend him, otherwise it would be embarrassing to come to ask for help in the future.

"It's great to have money. I will also start a business and become a rich man in the future."

"What a great ambition, but I'd better graduate from high school first."

"Damn it, don't look down on me. Didn't you start your own business in your second year of high school?" Xu Meng said.

"I'm not you. If I were like you and got first place every year, I would definitely go to college first and then think about starting a business."

After a pause, Xu Liang sighed.

"It will be a lifelong regret not to go to college. ...Okay, don't stop me from packing my things. I won't be at home these days, so stay by yourself and don't run around and make me worry."

"Know it."

"Xu Liang?"

A crisp shout came from downstairs.

"It's Sister Xiaoyang."

Xu Meng, who judged the identity of the person, ran downstairs.

Xu Liang also temporarily put down his luggage and turned around to go downstairs.

When I came to the first floor, I immediately saw Jiang Xiaoyang hugging Xu Meng, wearing a light pink floral T-shirt, a plain long skirt, pink high heels, long hair shawl, and exuding an innate nobility. .

"What are you two brothers and sisters doing?"

"My brother is going on a business trip and is packing his things." Xu Meng said.

"Are you going on a business trip?"

A pair of wonderful eyes looked towards Xu Liang.

After nodding, "Hongmeng's business in Europe has been in operation for more than three months. I have never gone over to take a look. I really feel uneasy."

Jiang Xiaoyang understood.

"How long do you plan to go?"

"If it's fast, it's a month. If it's slow, it depends on the time." Xu Liang said.

After September 11, flights across the United States were blocked, and he had to wait and see if he could come back.

"By the way, I want to buy a business jet this time. When the time comes, you can go to various parts of the country to discuss investment with companies, so you don't have to wait hard for the plane."

"A business jet? Do you have money to burn it?" Jiang Xiaoyang rolled his eyes at him.

Xu Liang smiled and didn't explain much.

After September 11, the global aviation market suffered a heavy blow, and it is unknown how many aircraft orders were cancelled. This is also when flights are cheapest.

If it weren't for insufficient funds, he would have wanted to take the opportunity to buy a few airlines for fun.

Moreover, as Hongmeng Company grows and its business territory becomes larger and larger, he can no longer waste time waiting for a plane.

Having a business jet can greatly improve his work efficiency and save his time.

"By the way, why are you here?" Xu Liang asked.

"The design plan and capital budget for the Hanhua Innovation Factory and the new headquarters are out. I'll bring them over for you to take a look at."

"Go to my study."

Jiang Xiaoyang nodded, and the two came to the second floor together.

He took the design plan and budget from her and looked at it.

Xu Liang glanced briefly and frowned slightly.

"So simple? That's not your style."

Judging from the plan, Jiang Xiaoyang only plans to repaint the inside and outside of the old supply and marketing cooperative building, and then remove the aging pipelines. He does not plan to make any major changes.

The consumption of funds is also controlled within two million.

"I plan to deal with it for a few years, and when Hanhua Capital makes money, I will tear everything down and start over."

"You want to build an office building?" Xu Liang understood.

Jiang Xiaoyang nodded.

"One of the reasons why I was optimistic about the old supply and marketing cooperative building was that it occupies a relatively large area of ​​5.2 acres, 3,463 square meters, which is enough for us to build a modern high-end office building."

Xu Liang thought for a while, and according to Jiang Xiaoyang's plan, if such an office building was built, it would cost at least 700 million Chinese dollars.

"If you want me to see, you might as well just tear it down and start over. Otherwise, the two million dollars spent on decoration will be wasted."

"You think I don't want to? Don't I have no money? Moreover, I plan to build 28 floors and more than 96,000 square meters of office area. Hanhua plus Sinovation Ventures will not be able to use such a large space."

"Don't worry about money, I will take care of it."

Xu Liang affirmed.

For a 5A-class office building, it only takes two or three months to come up with the design plan. By that time, he had withdrawn all the money he had invested in the stock market.

Supporting the Hanhua office building is a piece of cake.

"Really so generous?"

"After all, I am also the boss of Hanhua." Xu Liang smiled.

"I was really touched when I heard what you said. Hongmeng, New Dream, Hanhua, Hongyan, any of you have invested tens of millions or hundreds of millions. We, Hanhua, were the first to be established, but we have only made 10 million now. dollar investment.”

Listening to Jiang Xiaoyang's complaints, Xu Liang was slightly embarrassed.

He has indeed cared less about Hanhua in recent years.

"In a few months, I will give you 100 million US dollars to build the headquarters building, and you will be free to do the rest."

"This is what you said, don't go back on it."

100 million US dollars, as long as 10 million is used, the entire project can be leveraged. If it is not enough, find a bank loan. With Jiang Xiaoyang's background, he can definitely get a low-interest and sufficient loan.

The remaining $90 million can be invested.

"Certainly not."

Seeing his vow, Jiang Xiaoyang smiled and nodded, with a touch of tenderness in his eyes.

"When you go to Europe this time, take all the bodyguards I gave you with you. Pay attention to your safety."

Feeling the concern in the beauty's words, Xu Liang's heart softened, he took a step forward and hugged her into his arms.

Jiang Xiaoyang lay obediently on his chest, listening to the strong heartbeat, and a strong sense of security filled the surroundings. He slowly closed his eyes, quietly feeling the peace of mind at this moment.

The two hugged each other, transmitting strong emotions to each other. It was at this time that silence was better than sound.

I don’t know how long it took before I was interrupted by Xu Meng who broke in.

After arranging the work at hand, Xu Liang took a plane and flew towards Dublin, the capital of Ireland.

Many people are unfamiliar with Ireland.

Except for the famous Irish Famine in history, its name is rarely mentioned in the news.

But in fact, this small country located on the edge of Europe is the Silicon Valley of the entire Europe.

Google, Apple, Microsoft, Johnson \u0026 Johnson, IBM, Huawei, and later Facebook all put their European headquarters in Ireland.

The reason is simple.

First, it is an EU member state and can easily access the EU market.

Secondly, Ireland levies a uniform income tax of 12.5% ​​on all corporate operating profits, and does not impose county, city and other local-level taxes on companies.

Compared with most countries in the EU, Ireland's corporate income tax is much more favorable, which makes Ireland very attractive to investment by multinational companies.

In addition, Ireland’s corporate tax payment system is very complete, ranking first in European countries and sixth in the world in terms of tax convenience.

Third, for R\u0026D companies, up to 25% of tax credits can be enjoyed. At the same time, Ireland has concluded double taxation avoidance agreements with 72 countries, which stipulates tax deductions, reductions, credits, concessions and management cooperation matters for both parties. .

Fourth, the country is small, but there are many qualified talents.

Ireland's workforce is highly skilled and highly professional.

Nearly half of the high-quality workforce has received top-notch higher education, which has become a decisive factor in attracting innovative companies to settle here.

Moreover, the proportion of engineers and scientists who have received systematic training in the labor force is the highest in Europe. Most of them work for multinational companies and have overseas work background.

Fifth, stable development environment: one of the seven neutral countries in the world.

Ireland has a relatively stable social structure and a high sense of integration into life. It has one of the lowest crime rates in Europe.

Of course, the most important thing is low taxes.

Companies all hope to pay less taxes and make more money, and Hongmeng is the same.

Xu Liang walked out of the plane with his luggage, secretary Lu Hui, personal bodyguard Huo Gang, and an eight-person bodyguard team.

Xia Wei, President of Hongmeng Europe, who received the news in advance, led his people to greet him.

"Mr. Xu, I finally looked forward to having you here."

The two shook hands.

"Let's go back to the company first."

Hongmeng Company has rented a three-storey office building in Fingasse, Dublin, with a total area of ​​approximately 3,000 square meters.

After meeting with the executives of the European company first, Xu Liang took Xia Wei into the office.

"I used to only read emails, but I didn't have a deep impression. Now I came here and saw it with my own eyes, and I realized that you, Lao Xia, are indeed capable. It has been a little more than three months since the establishment of Hongmeng European Headquarters.

It can increase Bing's registered users to 12 million, establish an index database of 300 million, and the daily search volume exceeds 60 million, which is very good. "

Xu Liang patted Xia Wei's shoulder hard.

Xia Wei's results made him happy.

This also proves that his strategy of using talents mainly through internal promotion and supplemented by external introduction is correct.

Although Xia Wei does not have a glorious returnee resume, as a master of computer science at the Renmin University of China, he is an outstanding person selected from more than one billion people across the country.

As long as he is given a suitable platform, he can shine brightly.

Xia Wei smiled and said: "Mr. Xu, please don't praise me twice. If I get too proud, it will affect the development of the company."

"Haha, others can, but you Lao Xia definitely can't."

The reason why Xia Wei was chosen to develop business in Europe was because of his steady yet flexible work style.

After waving, the two sat down.

"Including the time you came to Europe for inspection, it has been more than half a year now. Do you think our current European development strategy needs to be adjusted?" Xu Liang asked.
