My 1999

"boss."

"Come here quickly."

Xu Liang waved.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Duan Yongping, a partner of Hanhua Capital Silicon Valley Company, who is in charge of the Jupiter III PE Fund."

There was a pause.

"Old Duan, this is the general manager of Hanhua Capital Silicon Valley Company and the investment manager of Mars II VC Fund A that I mentioned to you. It sounds like you two look very similar.

Lao Duan is the founder of two companies, Xiaobawang and Bubugao. He first succeeded in starting a business and then transformed into an investor.

Junrui founded LinkExchange and became an investor after its success. "Xu Liang said with a smile.

"Hello."

"Hello."

The two shook hands and looked at each other.

I have a preliminary impression in my mind.

"Boss, this is the Chen Shijun I mentioned to you."

Chen Shijun stepped forward quickly and took the initiative to extend his right hand.

"Hello, boss, I am Chen Shijun."

Although he left Wanwan very early, his Mandarin became very proficient under the influence of his family.

"Hello. I have heard of your name for a long time. When I came to the United States last time, I planned to invite you to join Hanhua. Unfortunately, Hanhua was not well-known in the United States at that time, and PayPal was an excellent company that was about to go public, so I temporarily suppressed it. Got off.

Unexpectedly, this time, Junrui brought you before I could do anything.

Saved me a lot of energy. "

The kind tone and the importance shown in the words, whether true or false, made Chen Shijun feel warm in his heart and was quite moved.

"You are so kind. It is my greatest honor to be invited to join Hanhua."

Xu Liang nodded with a smile, turned his eyes, and smiled after seeing a familiar figure not far away.

"The last guest has arrived today."

After hearing this, everyone followed his gaze.

A thin, serious young man with black-rimmed glasses and a straight back strode over under the leadership of Lu Hui.

"Old Chu, you are a little late."

A smile appeared on Chu Gang's face.

Originally, he planned to shake hands, but unexpectedly Xu Liang gave him a hug directly.

"Here, let me introduce you. This is Chu Gang, the general manager of the New York branch of Hanhua Capital and the head of the hedge fund Bai Ze."

The expressions of the three people changed slightly, and their eyes looked at Chu Gang with a bit more solemnity.

in the field of financial investment.

Those who engage in private equity are generally stronger than public fund managers.

As long as there are some capable public fund managers, they all want to switch to private equity.

Without it, you can make money.

The 20% dividend of private equity funds is much better than the few points of public equity funds.

In the field of private equity, those who can be a hedge fund are definitely better than VC and PE.

In addition to vision, the latter is more important than connections.

In contrast, hedge fund managers strive for personal ability.

The more capable you are, the more you earn.

The capital market, which eats people without spitting out their bones, will not give you the opportunity to cheat.

After introducing the four people to each other, everyone sat down next to them.

“I called you here today for two main purposes.

First, let you get familiar with each other so that you can start working in the future.

Second, determine the fundraising and future development of each fund.

Third, as you all have seen, I roasted a lamb and prepared four bottles of 2000 Lafite. Today we will drink and eat meat and have a good time. "

I saw the golden whole lamb roasted on the shelf next to me, the wine that had sobered up in the glass, and the surrounding green vegetation and vast and distant natural beauty.

Most of the worries and constraints in my heart disappeared at this moment.

Xu Liang pulled off a leg of lamb, tore the lamb chops, and sprinkled the onions and garlic cloves prepared in advance.

"There is no CEO or director here today, just ordinary friends gathering together to eat, drink and have fun. ... Come on, pour the wine."

As he spoke, Xu Liang picked up the decanter and filled most of the glass in front of him.

Seeing him like this, everyone also poured wine.

"This wine was given to me by Merrill Lynch CEO Dan Bailey. Each of you will take a bottle with you when you go back later. You are not allowed to refuse, and I don't have any more."

"Thank you, Mr. Xu."

The four people said quickly.

Xu Liang smiled and picked up the wine glass.

"Come on, let's touch each other."

Ding.

"cheers."

"Cheers."

Under the leadership of Xu Liang, everyone took a sip.

Seeing this, Xu Liang put down the cup with a smile, reached out and grabbed a mutton chop, put it to his mouth, tore off a piece of meat, and started chewing it in his mouth.

The way he behaves is extremely rude.

"Today you will drink a lot of wine and eat a lot of meat. Don't be restrained."

Everyone exchanged glances. Ever since they were young, especially after work, they have been constrained by social etiquette. They have never seen Xu Liang behave like this.

But the big boss said so, so they couldn't help but give him face.

Following Xu Liang's example, he picked up a rib and started chewing it.

Seeing them like this, Xu Liang couldn't help but smile.

The reason why he organized this barbecue was to let the four of them put down their pretense and show more sincerity.

In this way, we can quickly break the unfamiliarity with each other, become familiar with each other, and become a team that can cooperate with each other.

The principle is the same as the four irons of life.

Under the guidance of Xu Liang's sip of wine and meat, and under the anesthesia of the wine.

The four of them are becoming more and more casual and casual.

Most of the alertness on his body disappeared.

Seeing this, Xu Liang was very happy and his goal was achieved.

Xu Liangdao waited until everyone was tipsy and half-full of wine and meat.

"Old Chen, do you still have contact with each other after your old PayPal employees left?"

Chen Shijun was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"When we were still at PayPal, we developed an internal chat software. All PayPal employees, whether they were resigned or employed, were in it, communicating with each other, and providing some help if they had difficulties."

"This is a good way to increase the cohesion of the company." Xu Liang said.

"The 'Mars II Fund' you manage is about to raise funds soon. When the fund-raising is over, you should pay more attention to your former colleagues at PayPal. As long as it is a company they founded, you can ask them for investment. Take as many shares as you can.”

Looking at Chen Shijun's questioning eyes, Xu Liang smiled.

"Anyone who can claim to be anti-traditional and successful has wisdom and ability beyond ordinary people. I am optimistic about their future, just like I am optimistic about your future."

Chen Shijun, who was taken seriously again, was moved and nodded quickly.

"I understand, boss. I will contact them more."

"Um."

Xu Liang turned his eyes and said, "Old Duan, you have been in the United States for more than a year. Have you found any good investment targets?"

"I am more optimistic about Chinese concept stocks, especially NetEase and Sohu, but their turnover rates are too low and they are too difficult to buy." Duan Yongping said helplessly.

Xu Liang smiled. He had almost eaten up the stocks of NetEase and Sohu as early as last year.

"There are not many Chinese companies listed in the United States, and there are currently no good opportunities for Chinese concept stocks. However, there are still many good companies in the U.S. stock market."

"I still need Mr. Xu's advice." Duan Yongping said with a smile.

He also knew a lot about Xu Liang's investment, and he was convinced of it.

"Advice is out of the question, let's communicate with each other." After a pause, "I have a good target here - Kingston Technology."

"them?"

The figures of David Sun and Du Jichuan appeared in Duan Yongping's mind.

He doesn't communicate much with the two of them, but they can be considered ordinary friends.

"That's right. Kingston's memory business is doing very well and is developing very rapidly. You can learn about it first before deciding whether to invest."

Duan Yongping nodded.

Xu Liang turned his eyes.

"Old Chu, I won't say anything else. You have your own goals, just keep an eye on them."

Chu Gang smiled and nodded slightly.

During the recent period, in addition to completing the oil speculation tasks assigned by the Hanhua Dawn Plan, I have been tracking the dynamics of Amico.

"Junrui, you are responsible for the operations of the entire Silicon Valley company, as well as the post-service services of the companies you invest in."

Lin Junrui nodded.

"Mr. Xu, I also plan to recruit another partner to be responsible for the Mercury II Fund."

Xu Liang nodded.

Currently, this is the only fund owned by a Silicon Valley company that lacks a person in charge.

"Do you have a goal?"

"not yet."

"It's better to lack than to overdo."

"OK."

The barbecue lasted until evening.

Lin Junrui, Duan Yongping and Chen Shijun all have places to live in Silicon Valley. Chu Gang came from New York and was stayed by Xu Liang.

"Mr. Xu, Brent crude oil is already $22.9."

Xu Liang smiled and said: "It seems that we have made money."

Chu Gang nodded, "The average price per barrel has increased by US$0.5. Based on our 1.03 million positions, we have made US$515 million in just one month."

"Don't be too happy yet. It's only $0.50, which is not enough to form a thick protective pad."

After a pause, Xu Liang continued.

"Kunpeng Fund has raised a lot of money recently. After you go there, follow the previous strategy and divide it into multiple accounts to invest."

In the more than three years since its establishment, Hanhua Capital has registered nearly two hundred vests around the world.

Kunpeng Fund's huge funds flowed into the accounts of major investment banks through these vests, and then went long in oil through the investment banks' platforms.

Therefore, unless a top large institution takes the effort to investigate, no one will know what Hanhua Capital is doing.

Chu Gang nodded.

"Aimee, is there any movement over there?"

"Not yet, but its stock price has fallen below $10."

Xu Liang nodded and said nothing more.

He didn't care much about the matter itself.
