Chapter 387 Circle and Reception
“Brother Yang, I’m not late, am I?”
Xu Liang said with a smile.
“No, no, you came just in time.”
After saying hello, Yang Zhiyuan turned his eyes.
"This is...?"
"Lin Junrui, general manager of our Silicon Valley branch of Hanhua Capital, and one of the former founders of LinkExchange."
Yang Zhiyuan suddenly understood.
He was also impressed by Microsoft's US$265 million acquisition at the end of 1997.
“I didn’t expect that Mr. Xu would snare a genius like Mr. Lin without saying a word.”
"Thank you."
Lin Junrui said politely.
"Xu Liang, Junrui, come and introduce a few friends to you." Yang Zhiyuan said with a smile.
“Okay.”
Xu Liang came here just to expand his network of contacts, so he happily agreed.
Follow Yang Zhiyuan walking towards the center of the hall.
Along the way, there are more and more scrutiny.
"Everyone, let me introduce..."
A middle-aged man wearing a black suit interrupted Yang Zhiyuan with a smile.
“Jerry, no introduction is necessary. Who doesn’t know Mr. Xu Liang, the famous founder of Hongmeng and owner of Hanhua Capital?”
As he spoke, the other party extended his right hand.
"Mr. Xu, I've heard of you for a long time."
"Mr. Duan, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Xu Liang was indeed a little surprised.
Duan Yongping has been equally thunderous in his two lifetimes.
China's real top investors.
"I just settled in the United States last year. I didn't expect to be so lucky that I met Mr. Xu."
After the two said hello, one was wearing an alternative leather jacket and was slightly chubby. A middle-aged man came over.
"Mr. Xu..."
Before the other party finished speaking, Xu Liang grabbed the other party's right hand.
"Mr. Huang needs no introduction. NVIDIA is a company heavily invested by Hanhua Capital. I personally admire Mr. Huang very much, but he is busy with work and has never had the opportunity to pay a visit.
I met him today. It was really great. Nice to meet you."
Huang Renxun quickly grasped the right hand that the other party extended.
I didn’t expect the other party to be so polite.
In his impression, people who have achieved great success at a young age are generally arrogant and difficult to get along with.
"Thank you Mr. Xu for your attention. Hanhua's investment has stabilized NVIDIA's stock price and helped us survive the Nasdaq crisis. Both myself and NVIDIA's management are very grateful." Huang Renxun said politely.
"Mr. Huang is serious."
"Haha, don't you know the remaining three?" Yang Zhiyuan said with a smile.
“I really need Brother Yang to introduce me.”
Xu Liangdao.
He knew Duan Yongping and Huang Renxun because they had achieved extremely high achievements. He had heard about them and seen them both.
He has never seen the last three.
"These two are David Sun and Du Jichuan, the founders of Kingston Technology."
Yang Zhiyuan pointed at a middle-aged man who was fat and thin, both wearing glasses, and introduced.
Xu Liang suddenly realized that he was very familiar with Kingston. His first USB flash drive was Kingston.
"Hello, you two. I have heard of Kingston Technology a long time ago. I wanted to make a special trip to meet you, but unexpectedly I met you here first."
After thinking of Kingston, Xu Liangliang instantly felt invested. thoughts.
This is the largest manufacturer in the field of USB flash drives.
Profits are huge.
"Mr. Xu, you're welcome. If you can come, we at Kingston will be waiting for you." David Sun said with a smile.
After shaking hands with Du Jichuan, Yang Zhiyuan introduced the last person.
"This is Mr. Gao Minhuan, chairman of Jiaming Company."
"Hello, Mr. Gao."
This Gao Minhuan is the stranger to him among all the people present. One person.
But just because he is unfamiliar does not mean that the opponent is weak.
Gao Minhuan is a low-key person and rarely appears in the public eye, but he has a well-known nickname - the father of GPS.
After completing his doctoral studies at the University of Tennessee, he was recruited by NASA, and during this period he led the team to develop the world's first global positioning system, which was later derived into what it is today. GPS.
In 1989, Gao Minhuan quit his stable job to join the business world, co-founded Garmin with others, and gradually built it into the world's largest manufacturer of global positioning system products.
"It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Xu."
Gao Minhuan is not good at words, and after a brief greeting, he said no more.
At this point, all the top circles at today’s banquet have arrived.
If you pick anyone at random, their net worth is over US$500 million. In 2002, US$500 million was a huge amount of money, and it could make it into the "conviction" list.
“Let me introduce to you, this is Lin Junrui, the general manager of our Silicon Valley branch of Hanhua Capital. If your company or relatives or friends need investment to start a business, you can contact him.” Xu Liang introduced with a smile.
Lin Junrui smiled and bowed to everyone decently.
Everyone politely agreed.
They don’t necessarily need investment, but multiple avenues are good.
"Mr. Lin looks familiar." Du Jichuan said.
“I met Mr. Du once when I attended the Chinese Fellowship last year.” Lin Junrui said with a smile.
Du Jichuan understood.
But he didn't remember much.
“You may not know that LinkExchange, which was acquired by Microsoft for US$265 million at the end of 1997, was a company founded by Junrui.” Yang Zhiyuan said with a smile.
Everyone's expressions changed, and there was a touch of respect in their eyes when they looked at Lin Junrui.
The other party is not just a worker, but also a rich man who has successfully started his own business.
Add the two together, and your status will change instantly.
"Mr. Yang, thank you. LinkExchange is not my company alone..."
"But you hold a lot of shares."
Yang Zhiyuan interrupted and patted his shoulder with a smile. .
"Mr. Xu has all the best soldiers and generals under his command. No wonder Hanhua Capital has improved a level every year. In less than three years, it has managed nearly 10 billion US dollars in huge capital." Duan Yongping said with a smile. .
Xu Liang smiled and asked: "I heard that Mr. Duan is also investing?"
Duan Yongping nodded. After moving to the United States, although he achieved financial freedom, he could not live a good life just waiting to die.
So I considered investing.
I was originally optimistic about NetEase and wanted to invest, but when I started to invest, I discovered that the turnover rate of NetEase stocks on the secondary market was extremely low, and once it appeared, it was quickly acquired.
The same goes for Sohu.
Among the four major portals, apart from Sina, which has been delisted, the only one that can be traded in large quantities is China.com.
But after thinking about it for a while, he gave up.
This is not a serious Internet company, but more like a financial company that relies on the name of Chinese concept stocks to do arbitrage business.
Nowadays, more and more Chinese companies are listed in the United States, China itself is becoming more and more open, and Chinese concept stocks are no longer popular.
So, Duan Yongping only has a small amount of equity in NetEase and Sohu.
"Mr. Duan, do you want to join us as a partner in Hanhua? We can help you set up a PE fund and provide professional team assistance. You will be responsible for all investment goals and the company will not interfere." Xu Liang said suddenly.
He had this idea when he saw Duan Yongping.
It just so happens that Hanhua Capital also lacks a PE fund in the United States.
Facing the invitation, Duan Yongping was a little moved.
He just started investing and has little experience. If you can enter a professional investment institution to learn, it will be more helpful for your future investment career.
Moreover, Hanhua Capital’s client circle itself is a huge human resource base.
"Mr. Xu, the matter is very important, I may want to consider it."
"No problem. This is my business card. Mr. Duan has thought about it. You can call me at any time." Xu Liang said with a smile.
I didn’t reject it directly, but I was a little moved.
In this way, the hope of pulling in is very high.
“Now I finally understand why you, Xu Liang, can make your career so big at such a young age. You are really working anytime and anywhere, and you have to recruit people when you go out to parties. You are much more diligent than us guys. Yes." Yang Zhiyuan laughed.
"It's just a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet Mr. Duan here. But if you are interested in investment, you can also come to our Hanhua. We are eager for talents."
Can the enterprise be transformed? Successful people have basically above-average investment abilities.
Many investment institutions like to attract this kind of people.
"Okay, one day I leave Yahoo, I will go to your Hanhua."
"You are welcome at any time."
"Mr. Xu, when will the third phase of Hanhua's 'Qinglong Fund' start raising funds?" Huang Renxun asked.
"Why, Mr. Huang is also interested?"
"I think everyone present is interested." Huang Renxun said with a smile.
Du Jichuan echoed: "The Qinglong No. 1 Fund's 276% increase in one year and the Qinglong No. 2 Fund's 57% increase in half a year have spread to most of the Chinese community.
It’s a pity that many people know it too late. By the time they call, you have already closed the fund.”
David Sun and Gao Minhuan also nodded in agreement.
The two funds of Hanhua Qinglong Fund have experienced large-scale increases, making the name of ‘Qinglong Fund’ more and more widely known, especially in the Chinese circle, with a wider spread.
After all, this is a private equity giant with Xiangjiang as its headquarters and mainly Chinese people.
It feels more approachable than institutions such as Blackstone and Carlyle.
But when they got the news, it was too late, and they had no access. Before they could take action, the amount raised by the Qinglong No. 2 Fund had already been rounded up by wealthy people from Xiangjiang, Wanwan and Southeast Asia, and the operation was closed. .
"We have raised two funds in a short period of time and have almost invested in all the investment targets we are optimistic about. Therefore, we will not start fundraising for Qinglong No. 3 in the short term."
Xu Liang will focus next. If we are focused on dealing with oil speculation next year, Qinglong No. 3 Fund will definitely be at the back of the queue.
“But you can rest assured that once Qinglong Fund No. 3 starts raising funds, we will definitely call you. ...By the way, we have other funds under Hanhua. If you are interested, you can also try it. Invest." Xu Liang smiled.
“We really want to invest, but most of your funds under Hanhua are closed, and we have no way to get in now.” Du Jichuan said with a smile.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
They all know the details of Hanhua's other funds.
