My 1999

Xu Liang waved his hand.

Nakajima Yoshiko sat down carefully.

Xu Liang took out a check from his pocket and handed it over.

"You did a good job this time. I'm very satisfied. This is your reward."

Nakajima Yoshiko took it and took a look.

The figure of 30 million yen made her feel excited.

So generous.

Although Japan is a developed country, the film and television industry is far less profitable than outsiders imagine.

The income of top actresses in this era is only around 10 million.

As an agent, she can only get a share, and 1.5 million Huaxia coins is more than her annual income.

"Xu Sang, thank you very much for your generosity."

Yoshiko Nakajima stood up and bowed ninety degrees.

Xu Liang smiled and said, "Ms. Nakajima, you don't have to be polite. Please sit down."

"Hi."

After getting up and sitting down properly, he looked at the man in front of him with fiery eyes.

"Xu Sang, there are many beautiful girls in Japan. If you need them, I will work hard to find them for you."

Xu Liang smiled and nodded, "I have read the information. Ms. Nakajima is a senior agent of Toho Co., Ltd. She has served as the agent of many well-known Japanese actresses, and she also personally discovered Noriko Sakai and Shizuka Kudo. ?”

"Yes."

"Ms. Nakajima is very capable."

"You flatter me."

"Hongmeng Japan's business adjustment will separate the entertainment brokerage business and establish a separate company to operate it. Therefore, I need someone who is familiar with this industry to help me manage this brokerage company."

Nakajima Yoshiko became excited instantly, with strong anticipation in her eyes.

"Ms. Nakajima is my favorite candidate."

"Xu Sang, I...I will try my best."

Nakajima Yoshiko directly gave him a ‘shixiazao’, which is what the old saying goes.

Looking at the woman kneeling at his feet, Xu Liang showed a smile on his face.

With the rapid development of Hongmeng Japan's film and television industry, coupled with the strong resources within the group (which can provide performance opportunities in China and Hollywood).

Therefore, in the past two years, many actors have signed agency contracts with Hongmeng Dongying.

Especially after the company acquired Universal Pictures, it increased exponentially.

Plus the people the company has trained themselves.

Brokerage business plays an increasingly important role within the company.

Therefore, Hideo Fukunaga reported that he hoped to establish an independent brokerage company to operate economic business.

Xu Liang agreed.

But because the company is growing too fast, it lacks a suitable, experienced and capable person in charge.

Yoshiko Nakajima was one of several alternatives submitted to him by Hideo Fukuda.

Before today, he had not decided to let her take over.

But Masami Nagasawa brought over by the other party was very smooth.

Boss Xu is very enjoyable.

So looking at her was a little more satisfying.

"There's no need to salute like this. Get up and talk."

"Hi."

Nakajima Yoshiko stood up and sat down with unconcealable excitement on her face.

"We need to discover more girls like Yami in the future."

Nakajima Yoshiko understood instantly.

"Don't worry, I will plan an event to select school beauties after I go back, mainly in junior high schools and universities. The winners will enter the entertainment industry. I believe many girls will be interested."

Xu Liang nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good. When you go back, you can refine the rules of the event and cover the entire Japan as much as possible. In addition, I will also ask President Futian to cooperate with you."

"Hi."

"Okay, you have a rest, you can go back to Japan tomorrow."

Nakajima Yoshiko was sensible and didn't ask any further questions.

Looking at her leaving figure, Xu Liangliang became filled with anticipation.

There are many women around him now.

But Japan is the most obedient.

I can't put it down.

——

The next day, Xu Liang came to Hanhua North America Headquarters.

At nine-thirty in the morning, led by Chen Shijun, a tall middle-aged man wearing a brown suit walked into the office.

"Mr. Thiel, welcome to Hanhua."

Xu Liang smiled and stretched out his right hand.

“It is an honor for me to receive Mr. Xu’s invitation to visit Hanhua.”

Peter Thiel looked at the man in front of him with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Most of the Chinese people he knew wore glasses, were polite, and looked like nerds.

The most typical representative is Chen Shijun sitting next to him.

But the man in front of him looked like a UFC heavyweight fighting champion.

Although there was a smile on his face, his eyes showed strong confidence.

The combination of body and temperament creates a domineering aura that makes people feel heartbroken.

"Perhaps only such a person can achieve such dazzling results at such a young age!"

Peter Thiel thought.

"Please take a seat."

"please."

After the two sat down.

Xu Liang said directly: "PayPal is the world's first online payment software. When I established Hongmeng Pay, I referred to PayPal's model.

So have a deep understanding of Mr. Thiel.

You are an elite with a deep understanding of the Internet, and I admire you very much. "

Given his status, such praise made Peter Thiel very happy.

"You're overjoyed. PayPal has been sold to eBay, and it is far from comparable to Hongmeng."

Xu Liang smiled slightly, and after finishing his routine praise, he went straight to the topic.

"I heard from Chen Shijun that Mr. Thiel is very interested in the venture capital industry?"

"Yes. I have established my own venture capital fund and hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with Hanhua in the future."

The Thiel Fund, which he named after his surname, was just registered last month and currently has only one project under its umbrella, LinkedIn, founded by Reed Hoffman, a member of the PayPal gang.

It's a pity that he got on the bus too late and didn't get many shares.

The majority of LinkedIn's equity is in the hands of Sequoia and Hanhua.

Each party holds a 10% stake in LinkedIn.

Along with Hanhua’s investment in Internet companies such as Netflix, LinkedIn, Owl, and Zoom.

Their reputation in the Silicon Valley venture capital circle is no less than that of Sequoia and Kleiner Perkins Caufield \u0026 Byers, and even surpasses that of veteran DFJ and IDG.

"There is an opportunity for cooperation now. I wonder if Mr. Till is willing to accept it?"

Xu Liang smiled.

"Mr. Xu, please speak."

"As I said before, I am personally very optimistic about Mr. Thiel's development in the Internet industry, so if you agree, Hanhua will invest US$3 million to acquire 30% of the shares of Thiel Fund."

The price is not low.

After all, although the current Thiel Fund is not an empty shell, it is not much different.

Although Peter Thiel made more than $100 million after selling PayPal, he could not ignore the temptation of $3 million.

"Mr. Xu, are you serious?"

"certainly."

Xu Liang handed over a document.

"The contract is ready and as soon as Mr. Thiel signs it, the money will be credited to your account."

Peter Thiel quickly picked it up and read it.

As Xu Liang said, this is indeed a very complete business contract in all aspects.

stipulates the rights and obligations of both parties.

Peter Thiel pondered for a moment, and then he was ready to agree.

The 30% share does not touch the veto power represented by 34%.

Moreover, with the endorsement of Hanhua, Thiel Fund can win more trust from corporate founders when investing externally.

"Mr. Xu, thank you for your attention, but I am very confident in the future of Thiel Fund and do not need financing for the time being."

The subtext is ‘add money’.

Although I really want to agree, no one doesn't like green dollar bills.

As a business veteran, Peter Thiel certainly has to fight for himself.

Xu Liang also understood what he meant and handed over another contract.

"Please look."

Peter Thiel took the contract and read it.

Put it down after a moment.

"Hanhua's achievements in hedge funds are obvious to all. If you agree to cooperate, Hanhua will establish a hedge fund department under the name of Thiel Funds.

Financially independent, we bear the risks and provide the funds ourselves, but Thiel Fund can get 5% of all profits from this department.

Based on Hanhua's ability, this share can bring tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in net income to Thiel Fund every year.

And it is a net income without taking any risks.

I think my condition should be very sincere. "

Peter Thiel put down the contract, "Can I ask Mr. Xu why he did this?"

"It's simple.

After experiencing oil speculation and soybean speculation, too much attention is now focused on Hanhua.

Some investments are difficult to launch.

So we need some hidden investment windows. "

Peter Thiel nodded, "So Mr. Xu and Hanhua also need the Thiel Fund, and we have paid a certain price..."

Xu Liang interrupted him.

"Mr. Thiel, you should be well aware of Hanhua's capabilities and achievements in the global hedge fund field.

You can say it without any politeness.

When it comes to hedge funds and private equity, there is no one better than us.

But there are thousands of small and medium-sized hedge funds and venture capital institutions around the world.

In other words, we have many potential partners. "

"Mr. Xu, there are indeed many venture capital institutions around the world, but there is only one called 'Tiel Fund'."

Successful people have absolute confidence in themselves.

“Of course, this is also the reason why I chose Thiel Fund to cooperate.

But the conditions I gave are generous enough. "

What he meant was obvious.

I've already given you a lot, don't push yourself too far.

Peter Thiel smiled and said: "Mr. Xu, actually I am also very interested in 'hedge funds'. If I want to start my own hedge fund in the future, what will happen in the middle?"

"It's simple, financial isolation. And, you make money, and I don't have to share a dollar.

To sum it up, what’s yours is yours, and I’ll give you 5% of what’s mine. "

"I need time to think about it."

"This is your right. However, I hope that today's content will be kept confidential."

"Of course. What I hate most are assholes who violate business ethics."

"What a coincidence. I hate people like this too."

After the two looked at each other and smiled, Peter Thiel changed the subject.

"Mr. Xu thinks what is the most worthy investment in the current US market?"

"The Internet, of course."

"Mr. Xu misunderstood, I was talking about hedge funds."
