Chapter 469: Plan ahead
"Inoue-kun, how is Yahoo's Internet search business developing?" Xu Liang asked.
Inoue Masahiro's hand holding the vegetables stagnated slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.
He didn't expect Xu Liang to ask so directly, and he was a little confused about his purpose for a while.
“Yahoo’s search business has just begun, and naturally cannot compare with the results of Hongmeng Bing’s more than three years of hard work.”
Xu Liang smiled faintly, "Inoue-kun, from now on everyone will be enemies."
"Why must Mr. Xu be so absolute? Although your two businesses compete, there are also many areas where we can cooperate. There is no need to It's too ugly." Inoue Masahiro frowned slightly.
"Inoue-kun is right. Although you and I compete, we also cooperate. There is really no need to make it too ugly."
After saying this, Xu Liang turned to follow Fujimoto Jiro spoke and ignored him.
Looking at it, the worry in Inoue Masahiro's eyes not only did not lighten, but became heavier.
Xu Liang is not what he used to be. Hanhua Capital controls a huge amount of capital. As long as Xu Liang is willing, he can completely control the stock price of Yahoo Japan.
And Hongmeng is no longer what it used to be. After nearly four years of rapid development, it has transformed into a truly world-class company.
Global dominance in Internet search and video games.
In the field of online music, Hongmeng Music and Apple’s iTunes compete globally.
In the B2C field, Hongmeng No. 1 store is the overlord of China.
In the field of portal websites, Hongmeng Sina not only dominates China, but is also the largest presence in South Korea, Greater China, and the entire Southeast Asia.
Central Asia, West Asia and Europe have also developed to a certain extent.
Sina's many branch businesses, such as Tuniu Travel, SouFun, Tieba, Autohome, etc., are developing rapidly in South Korea and Southeast Asia.
Only Japan, because Hongmeng sold its own portal early, did not enter.
But as the tacit understanding between the two parties disappears and Yahoo Japan enters Internet search, Hongmeng Japan may no longer be as peaceful as in the past.
Time passed little by little, and the wedding banquet gradually came to an end.
"Xu Jun, thank you very much for coming to the Fujimoto family's wedding banquet."
"Mr. Fujimoto, you are very polite. ... I will leave first."
"Xu Jun Walk slowly.”
Leave the banquet hall.
Looking at Futian Xinmei's expression, he hesitated to speak.
“What’s wrong?”
“Meiling knew that we visited Mount Fuji and wanted to be our tour guide.”
“Tour guide? This is her home?”
“Yeah.”
"Then do you want her to be with us?"
Xinmei Fukuda shook her head, "When I was in school, I had a very normal relationship with her. Now that I'm so diligent in getting together, it's just because I care about your identity. and background, I don’t want to associate with such a profit-seeking person.”
“I didn’t expect that my wife looks cute and cute on the outside, but she is very transparent in her heart.”
Fukuda Xinmeimei. She looked shy, obviously the word 'daughter-in-law' made her very happy.
Back to the hotel’s presidential suite.
Lu Hui came forward.
"Mr. Xu, I just received a call from Hanhua headquarters. The working group they sent to Japan has already set off and will arrive in Tokyo at about four o'clock this afternoon."
Xu Liang nodded. , as soon as the working group arrives, the preparatory work for Hanhua Dongying Branch should begin.
“Have you found the office address?”
“There are currently two options.
First, there is still about 17,000 square meters of free space in the Pacific Building where the Hongmeng Dongying subsidiary is located, which is enough to accommodate the Hanhua Dongying branch.
Second, Mitsubishi Estate Building in Chuo-ku, Tokyo.
The Central District is the financial heart of Japan, gathering the Japanese Securities Trading Center, the Central Bank of Japan, and bank branches from various countries, which is very suitable for Hanhua Capital.
The Mitsubishi Estate Building is also a landmark building as famous as the Itochu Corporation Building and Tokyo Ginza Building. "
"Put it in the Pacific Building. "Xu Liang thought about it briefly and said.
"Okay."
Although the Pacific Building is not in the Chuo District, it is also a landmark building in Shibuya District and a 5A-class office building, which does not disgrace Hanhua Capital's identity.
And now Hanhua Capital has passed the time of relying on external sources to support its value. Now there are many institutions and people outside rushing to invest in them.
In the end, Hanhua Capital and Hongmeng were placed in the same building, which saved him from running in both directions.
After settling in Futian Xinmei, Xu Liang took out his mobile phone and called Guo Shaojie, who was in charge of Qinglong Fund.
"Mr. Xu?"
"How is the Qinglong No. 3 Fund's current investment?"
"According to your request, we are buying Chinese concept stocks and red chip stocks, and have invested 34 billion.”
“Where is Master Kong’s equity?”
“It has acquired 3.4%.”
"How much does Master Kong's stock price fluctuate?"
"It only rose less than 2%, which is within the normal range."
"Very good. Continue the acquisition and suspend it after reaching 4.9%."
“Yes.”
After hanging up the phone, Xu Liang thought for a while and picked up the phone again to dial.
The phone rang for a while and was quickly connected.
“Fourth uncle, it’s me, Xu Liang.”
“Haha, Xu Sheng, hello, hello.”
“How is fourth uncle always? ”
“Thanks to you, I can eat, sleep, and live a few more years. ”
Xu Liang smiled and said, "My fourth uncle looks like he will live a long life at first glance. He will definitely live to be over a hundred years old in the future."
"Haha, I'll lend you some good luck then."
Simple After being polite.
"Fourth Uncle, I am optimistic about a company and want to ask you to help acquire some shares."
"Oh? Which company deserves your attention so much?" "Master Kong, I don't know Fourth Uncle Have you heard of it?”
"Wanwan Master Kong, a subsidiary of Weijiadingxin Group?"
"That's it."
"Are you attracted to it?"
"Jianlibao's product line is still a bit thin, but Master Kong can make up for Jianlibao's shortcomings in the fields of instant noodles, tea-flavored beverages, pastries, etc., and is a good acquisition target."
Li Zhaoji nodded, "How do you want me to help you?"
"Acquire 4.9% of Master Kong's equity without increasing Master Kong's equity by more than 5%. Afterwards, I will give the fourth uncle to Mr. 10% of the purchase price will be used as commission.”
“Okay, no problem.”
“Thank you, Uncle Fourth.”
“Hehe, we have never paid each other. No need to be polite about small things. When your acquisition is successful, just buy me a drink.”
"I will definitely bring you the best wine to thank you, Fourth Uncle."
"Then I will wait."
After a few polite words, Xu Liang hung up the phone.
Li Zhaoji invested US$200 million in various funds under Hanhua Capital. Counting the return from his last investment in Kunpeng No. 1 Fund, the Li family's money in him was nearly US$400 million.
With such a huge interest involved, Li Zhaoji is not related to the Wei family, so the chance of selling him is very small.
——
After playing around Mount Fuji for a few more days, Xu Liang returned to Tokyo.
"Hello, Mr. Xu."
"Mr. Jiang sent you, this iron lady?"
Xu Liang looked at the man with short, ear-length hair in front of him , the middle-aged woman with majesty in her eyes smiled.
"Recruiting suitable employees for the company is the job of our human resources department. Of course, it is me who takes the lead." Zhao Shuang said with a smile.
She is the director of the Human Resources Department of Hanhua Capital. When the company was founded, Jiang Xiaoyang used her background and connections to poach talents from central enterprises.
One of the founders of the company.
Xu Liang smiled and said: "Okay, I feel relieved when you are here. By the way, who went to South Korea and Singapore?"
"Li Fang went to Singapore. , Gao Xiaoguang went to South Korea. ”
"Your Human Resources Department is full of elites."
"Opening up new markets is a major event for the company, and our Human Resources Department dare not neglect it."
Xu Liang nodded and looked at the dark blue dress next to him. A middle-aged man in a red suit and gold-rimmed glasses.
"Lao Lu, I will leave the management of Japan to you."
Lu Lei nodded quickly, "Don't worry, I will definitely manage the Japanese branch."
He was originally one of the deputy directors of the Finance Department of Hanhua Capital, responsible for the settlement and payment of salaries and bonuses for all employees of the company.
It has been almost two years since I joined the company.
The ability is outstanding.
Xu Liang patted him on the shoulder.
Lu Lei has excellent management skills and can only say he understands private equity.
However, Hanhua does not need his investment. It is enough to manage it well and coordinate the development of the Japanese branch.
At noon, Xu Liang invited the entire preparatory team to dinner.
He went back after eating. He had no intention of interfering with the work of the preparatory team.
I called Jiang Xiaoyang in the afternoon.
"Sister Zhao is my right-hand man. She personally came forward and the establishment of the Japanese branch can be completed in two months at most." Jiang Xiaoyang said.
"I don't doubt Zhao Shuang's ability. However, for a Japanese branch that only does business investigation and fund-raising work for the time being, is it too much to make a fuss over sending Zhao Shuang here?"
"That's what I think. Yes, now that Sister Zhao is here, she can just set up a private equity fund here in Japan. Let the people below do the fundraising work and specific business investigations, and leave the specific management to you.
Just make the final decision.”
“I’m telling you, you want me to work for nothing in love.”
Xu Liangdao.
"Working for free? Who owns the majority of the shares of Hanhua Capital? It's almost enough if I work for you for free." Jiang Xiaoyang said angrily.
After Xu Liang laughed, he changed the topic.
“Why are you in such a hurry to set up the Tokyo branch this time? We didn’t discuss it like this before.”
“Japan is the second largest economy in the world, so we should lay the foundation for it early. Our future development will be more favorable. Moreover, such a large market can fully accommodate two or even more funds.
We will establish a second fund in the future when the right fund manager is selected. Even a third fund.
In addition, I think having a fund with huge profits will not only make it easier to absorb funds, but also recruit better fund partners. "
"Since you have decided, then so be it. "
Xu Liang no longer dwells on this issue.
Sooner or later, a fund dedicated to investing in Japan will be established. If Jiang Xiaoyang wants to promote it early, then he should promote it early.
" How much soybean reserves are there? ”
"It is already 41.27 million tons."
"The reserve speed has slowed down." Xu Liang frowned.
35 million tons were reserved in the past two months, and now another month has passed, with less than 7 million tons.
“The soybean sales season in the southern hemisphere is over, and coupled with competition from other oil companies, although we have increased the purchase price, the amount of spot goods received has inevitably declined.
< br>If we want to make large-scale acquisitions again, we will inevitably acquire Shendou.”
"It doesn't matter if the beans are heavy. As long as the quality can be guaranteed, we will buy them."
Xu Liangdao.
Soybeans have a long shelf life and can be stored for many years as long as they are dried.
“Okay.”
“Be careful to set a few more shells, don’t all go to China, and pay attention to security. I don’t want to get up the next day and our soybeans The inventory was set on fire ”
Xu Liang has never had any expectations for the bottom line of American capitalists.
“Understood.”
After explaining some more, Xu Liang hung up the phone.
