My 1999

Xu Liang hung up the phone and raised his eyebrows.

It always felt like Jiang Xiaoyang was hiding something from him.

Ding dong….

A beep sounded on the computer. Xu Liang opened the mailbox and looked at it. He was shocked and quickly opened it.

It was Hongmeng’s 2003 financial report sent by Xie Wen.

Excluding the newly acquired Universal Entertainment assets that have not yet been integrated, Hongmeng Company generated net revenue of 54.7 billion Chinese dollars in 2003, and net profit exceeded 11.2 billion Chinese dollars, a year-on-year increase of 321%.

At present, it has 11 subsidiaries in China, South Korea, Japan, Central and South China, Nanyang, the Middle East, Germany, France, North America, Europe and South America, basically building a global business network.

Although companies in South America and the Middle East have just been established and have very weak business foundations, they can still be regarded as Internet companies that span the world.

It has seven major business segments.

First, in the Internet search business, Bing has 250 million registered users, 319,000 corporate users, 2.99 billion index databases, and 628 million daily users worldwide.

There are 850,000 encyclopedia items, 1.49 billion known items, 29.89 million pictures, and 3.23 million books.

Occupying 53% of the global search market, it is the world's largest Internet search company.

Second, in the field of pan-entertainment, with the explosion of "Warcraft 3" and the popularity of games such as "Legend" and "The King of Fighters", Hongmeng Games' revenue has surpassed Nintendo and is the world's largest gaming company.

Universal Music, the world's largest music company, manages the lyrics and music copyright library of more than 3.8 million songs globally, accounting for nearly 30% of the global music market.

Universal Pictures is the third largest film studio in the world after Warner Bros. and Disney (in terms of box office for the year), with a huge film library of more than 4,000 films.

Universal Studios, the only theme park brand in the world comparable to Disney, has four branches in Los Angeles, Florida, Osaka and Singapore.

Now in the entire pan-entertainment field, the only area where Hongmeng is still weak is comics, novels and animations.

However, Xu Liang is not planning to move in the short term. It will take a lot of time to digest the assets of Universal Entertainment.

Third, in terms of Internet cafe business, Hongmeng currently has 1,629 large-scale Internet cafes in Zhongnan, Xiangjiang and Nanyang, with more than one million computers. The number of Internet cafes authorized by the brand and providing post-service services has exceeded 5,000.

Hongmeng's Internet cafe business accounts for more than 60% of the entire Southeast Asian market, which has effectively promoted the development of Hongmeng's other businesses in the Southeast Asian and South Asian markets.

Fourth, in terms of portal business, Hongmeng’s Sina website currently has 220 million registered users in China, Southeast Asia and other places, with 530 million daily users.

The sports, forums, games and other sub-businesses under the website are developing well.

Fifth, in terms of e-commerce business, Hongmeng mainly focuses on B2C business, which is divided into three parts: online, offline and logistics.

At present, Hongmeng has invested nearly 1.5 billion US dollars in logistics to build eight first-level logistics centers, 37 second-level logistics centers, and more than 3,000 logistics distribution points across the country, weaving a logistics and distribution network that can cover major provinces and cities across the country. network.

It is the largest logistics company in the country, strongly supporting the development of online shopping.

The number of registered users of ‘No. 1 Store’ has exceeded 12.43 million, and revenue has exceeded 2 billion Hua Xia Yuan.

The number of Yihaodian offline retail stores exceeded 219, and it generated net revenue of 540 million in 2003.

Sixth, the software business dominated by Kingsoft Corporation mainly includes WPS series software, Kingsoft Internet Security, Kingsoft PowerWord, Hongmeng Internet Cafe Management Software, and Hongmeng Pinyin Input Method.

According to Xu Liang's request, Lei Jun carried out the reform of all software such that basic functions are free and advanced functions are charged.

So far, the market has not been cultivated, and most of them are losing money.

Seventh, the big data and cloud computing business is dominated by Pangu Company. After more than a year of research and development, Pangu Company launched the first database software based on ‘Pangu Architecture’.

The company is currently expanding its data center and providing big data and cloud computing services to the outside world. Although there are not many customers and there is no positive profit, the foundation has been laid.

The next step is to continuously develop and update the database software to attract more customers.

In addition to these seven major businesses, within the Hongmeng Research Institute, there is also the core black technology of the Hongmeng mobile phone system that is under development.

There is also Hongmeng Pay, a business that is constantly developing and is not yet attracting much attention.

Overall, Hongmeng is developing very well and its foundation is basically solid.

From now on, I will stick to these seven businesses to live my life.

Of course, before entering the mobile era, the Internet cafe business will definitely be eliminated.

With various thoughts running through Xu Liang's mind, he opened the second half of the report.

Here is Hongmeng’s development plan for 2004.

Xu Liang took a closer look and found that if there was any big move, it would be the acquisition of Osaka Universal Studios and the planning of the construction application for the two major movie theaters in Magic City and Beijing.

If you can't win them all, try to win the Magic City.

Apart from these, Hongmeng basically has no big plans in 2004.

After thinking for a while, Xu Liang printed out the financial report and read it carefully.

Compare the various Hongmeng data you know and consider whether there is anything that needs to be modified.

After a long time, he threw the financial report into the shredder.

Universal Studios is big enough, and with the integration of Universal Entertainment and the development of seven major business sectors, it will be busy enough.

Let's settle down for two years first.

The third day quickly arrived.

Sun Mingzhen carefully smoothed every wrinkle on his suit.

He took two steps back to realize himself for a moment, with a smile on his face.

"Oppa, so handsome!"

Smiling faintly, "Aren't you going to the company today?"

"I'll accompany Yizhen to the hospital to vaccinate McDull and Mai Mai, and I won't go to the company until the afternoon."

Xu Liang understood that before a child is one year old, there is an intensive period of vaccination, which is basically once or twice a month. Not counting the free ones, only paid vaccines cost nearly 10,000 yuan a year.

"Call me if you need anything."

"Um."

He kissed her forehead, went to the baby room to see her two sons, said goodbye to Son Ye-jin, and then turned and went downstairs.

After meeting Lu Hui and Huo Gang, they drove to Merrill Lynch's office in South Korea.

"Hello, Mr. Xu."

Seeing him get out of the car, the person in charge of reception quickly came over to greet him.

"Hello, are the people from the government and the Exchange Bank here?"

"The three ministers of authority of South Korea's Strategy and Finance Ministry, as well as Mr. Robertson of the South Korean Exchange Bank have already arrived."

"I'm the only one missing?"

"Yes."

Xu Liang nodded and walked inside.

After entering the building, I quickly boarded the elevator waiting here.

In the 1990s, Merrill Lynch was the largest investment bank on Wall Street, surpassing Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns in terms of influence and financial resources.

It only began to decline in the late 1990s and is now slightly behind Morgan Stanley.

But hundreds of years of accumulation have given it unparalleled influence in the global capital community.

Although there is only one office in South Korea, the office area is nearly thousands of square meters, almost twice that of Hongmeng.

The office conditions are enviable and luxurious.

Therefore, the location of this negotiation is also placed here.

When I arrived at the conference room and opened the door, everyone in the room looked over.

In just one year, Xu Liang's status has undergone earth-shaking changes.

In particular, Hanhua, Qinglong Private Equity Fund and Pacific Hedge Fund have a combined net income of nearly 50 billion U.S. dollars, a net profit of more than 30 billion U.S. dollars, and a net return rate of nearly 1,000%.

Hanhua has become the most influential financial giant in the world.

Xu Liang, the boss of Hanhua and the manipulator behind Qinglong Private Equity Fund and Pacific Hedge Fund, is known as the ‘Golden Caesar’ throughout the world!

If it were just finance, that would be it.

Hongmeng spent tens of billions of dollars to acquire Universal Entertainment assets, causing a sensation in the global business community.

It has once again brought the world's largest Internet giant, valued at over US$50 billion, into the eyes of more and more people.

Financial tycoon + business tycoon, the effect of one plus one is greater than two.

Xu Liang, who has been in business for four years, has truly become a world-class rich man, on the same level as Gates, Buffett, and Carl Albachet.

And because of his experience of rising like a comet in a short period of time, he is even more legendary and topical.

Therefore, more and more people are curious about what kind of person this big man is?

Xu Liang also received looks that were mixed with respect, curiosity, and admiration.

"Mr. Xu."

Rasha Browning rushed forward to greet him.

As the intermediary in this negotiation, he should be the lubricant for communication and communication between the two parties.

After Xu Liang nodded, he looked at the two middle-aged men, one yellow and one white, who took the initiative to greet them.

Noticing his look, Browning said quickly.

"let me introduce."

One pointed at a middle-aged white man.

"This is Mr. Behenan Robertson, CEO of the Exchange Bank of South Korea."

The latter reached out on his own initiative.
