MTL - Go Legend-Chapter 822 One day in Hong Kong

   Chapter 822 One Day in Xiangjiang

   Two days later, Central, Hong Kong.

  Li Xiangping was standing on the top floor of an office building. While observing the surrounding environment, he sighed in his heart——

More than ten years later in real history, Mr. Alima's IPO of Ant Financial was all carried out in this building. Hundreds of people have been preparing for more than half a year in this building. The largest IPO, however, was stopped by the relevant departments at a critical time.

  Li Xiangping did not expect that his cousin led the team to block the predators on Wall Street, and it was also in this building.

   After enjoying the scenery of Victoria Harbour for a while, my cousin came in with a man under 40 years old:

   "Come to Xiangping, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Hong, a partner of Goldman Sachs Greater China, and the most important business partner in this operation, Mr. Hong, this is Shedi Li Xiangping..."

   "Haha, I know, well-known national Go player, a genius only emerges every five hundred years..."

   That Mr. Hong looked very enthusiastic and familiar. However, Li Xiangping was not fooled by his "partner" name.

  Because he knew that the partners of Goldman Sachs in the United States were not particularly valuable, and they were not real bosses.

   The operation mode of this investment bank is to find 500 so-called "partners" around the world every year, and then the first trial every year, some people are re-elected and some people are replaced.

   Well, if we use the construction industry category that Li Xiangping is familiar with, the so-called partner of Goldman Sachs is actually equivalent to the project manager of the construction industry.

However, compared with partners in other regions, partners in Greater China are still slightly more valuable, because for a long time, Goldman Sachs usually has only three partners in Greater China, and the convention is two in Hong Kong. one on the mainland—

In fact, according to the level of economic activity in our country, Goldman Sachs would like to have a few more partners in the country, but our country's supervision is quite strict, and our minds are very clear. We know that Wall Street is not a good thing, and we can give them a little opening. Not bad.

   This Mr. Hong is actually a banana man, and his ancestors have immigrated to the Lighthouse Country, but he speaks the Mandarin language well. Because they were not familiar with each other, Li Xiangping actually focused on listening when chatting.

   After listening to him, he roughly guessed why he could earn so much this time——

  It is mainly that Wall Street is begging for dogs, and the Fed saved Citi but not Lehman Brothers. The key role in this is actually Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley and other Lehman Brothers counterparts.

Of course, my cousin knew that Li Xiangping was a layman, so he didn't talk too much at this time. In less than a quarter of an hour, Mr. Hong said goodbye. Li Weiping sent him to the door and made an appointment with him for a few days. After the poker game, he returned to the office to continue talking with Li Xiangping.

   "Brother, how much did you earn this time?"

  Li Weiping smiled and said, "Nuo, I knew you were coming, and I had already had someone prepare the report."

   I still take care of Li Xiangping, a layman. The report that my cousin asked people to do is also easy to understand. After a quick glance, Li Xiangping raised his head and said in surprise:

   "7, 7.6 billion, how much leverage have you added?"

Li Weiping continued to laugh and said: "Leverage is not the point now, the point is the income this time. The figure in front of you is the pure income this time. I called you over this time, in addition to teaching you how to play cards, It's just to discuss the next step. After all, such a large sum of money can't be put in the bank for interest. In addition, after this vote, I intend to shift my focus to China. I don't know if you are what idea."

Of course, Li Xiangping has no problem with this. Hong Kong's industry has been completely hollowed out. Except for the financial industry, which is still very good, other industries are getting worse and worse. So for a venture capital company, it is obviously better to move back to China now. Suitable.

   Of course, due to supervision, some capital operations can still be kept in Hong Kong, but the project must be found in the Mainland.

   After talking about this matter, Li Xiangping began to show off his poor knowledge again, because he knew that regardless of investment companies, it sounded like it was just money making money, but in later life it was extremely serious.

In a previous life, Li Xiangping knew a friend who was doing investment. Once he was optimistic about a project, followed and talked for a long time. When everything was finally negotiated and ready to sign the contract, the other party suddenly disappeared. , even refused to answer the phone.

   After inquiring later, it turned out that while the guy was talking here, he was secretly talking with a more famous and powerful venture capital firm.

   Later, Li Xiangping's friends found out that the conditions on both sides were similar, but because of the greater fame there, Li Xiangping's friends were kicked away like that.

In later generations, there are only two and a half of the largest venture capital firms in China, one is Sequoia, the other is Hillhouse, and the other half may be Shanghai-based Fosun, especially the first two. Jianghu joked that “If you go too far, nothing will grow.” , which means that as long as you are targeted by them, there will be nothing to do with other colleagues, even if you want to give money to others.

  Li Xiangping politely showed off this knowledge in front of his cousin, and then asked his cousin what his plans were.

   Then Li Weiping looked stunned:

   "Hallhouse? You mean the Hillhouse that was established 3 years ago?"

  Li Xiangping actually didn't know which year Gao Ling was established, but at this time, of course, he had to pretend to be a half-expert, so he nodded again and again:

   "That's right, that's right, their boss's surname is Zhang..."

  Li Weiping interrupted him with a smile: "I know it's Zhang Lei, so do you know how much Lao Zhang's seed fund was when he started?"

  Li Xiangping was blind at the time. He knew that the "seed fund" in his cousin's mouth probably meant start-up capital, but he didn't know about this kind of thing.

   Fortunately, Li Weiping did not embarrass him, but said to himself:

   "The seed fund that Lao Zhang received at that time was only 20 million US dollars. You said that we have billions of dollars, and we still need to be afraid of him?"

"what?!"

   Hearing that in later generations, Gao Ling, who has achieved a scale of 100 billion, has such a small amount of capital, Li Xiangping was speechless at that time, and no longer dared to show off in front of his cousin.

  Fortunately, Li Weiping didn't take Li Xiangping's words seriously. After briefly stating some of his general plans, his attention returned to Texas Hold'em:

"Okay Xiangping, let's talk about these things after returning to China. The focus this time is actually to teach you to play cards. By the way, prepare yourself at night. Lao Xu called just now and said that after his friend knew that you were coming, They are all very interested and have to entertain you."

  Li Xiangping said curiously: "Old Xu's friend? Isn't it just the people from the Big D Society?"

Li Weiping nodded and said, "Lao Xu came from the mainland, so there can be anyone other than them, but it's normal for them to entertain you, after all, they're all Lao Xu's white knights, this time they're also partners, let's meet and chat It should be. After seeing this side, then we will not care about anything, I will take you to Macau to play for two days and then talk about it.”

"Ha ha."

While the brothers were chatting here, of course Li Xiangping did not know that in another part of Hong Kong, another group of people also gathered together to discuss how to entertain Li Xiangping at night.

  Yes, these people are Lao Xu's friends, the tycoons in the legendary "Big D Club".

Of course, Li Xiangping doesn't know that the reason why these people are so serious is not because of Li Xiangping's face, nor because he is a national Go player, mainly because Li Weiping's performance is too amazing in the past two years. It has now become a legend in the industry.

In fact, when Li Weiping first arrived in Hong Kong, it was hard for the locals to look down on this **** from the mainland. Everyone only knows that this mainlander seems to have a lot of money, but his operation is too amateur. Delusions of attacking Wall Street, and even all his operations, are like pranking with people--

   Although Li Weiping's operation is not a big fanfare, he did not deliberately conceal it, at least it could not be concealed from the minded people in this financial city.

   As you can see, the guy from the mainland seems to be angry with Lehman Brothers. For a whole year and a half, almost all of them are completely opposite to Lehman Brothers.

   Such a crazy method is not only rarely called in this port, even in the whole world, few people do it.

  It's all right now, he has succeeded in such an amateurish trick, and the profit he earned is beyond everyone's imagination, so in the money society of Hong Kong, Li Weiping is certainly impressive.

   "Tsk tsk tsk, it's really a hero from ancient times, this mainlander is really, incredible, Lao Xu, how did you get on the line with this person, and by the way, what background is this person?"

   Actually, before contacting Li Weiping, Lao Xu had already inquired about the situation of Li Xiangping's family very clearly, but at this time, of course he wanted to pretend to be coercive, so this guy pretended to be mysterious:

   "The background is very deep, Liu Sheng, don't ask about it, let me tell you, they are..."

   Having said that, Lao Xu shut up, but pretended to point to the sky with his hands:

   "Okay, okay, today is not the time to talk about this, the focus now is to entertain these two brothers well, first take over a good fate, and then we can continue to deal with each other later. Lao Yang,"

   When talking about this, Lao Xu suddenly said to a middle-aged man wearing glasses:

   "That young man likes to play Western Stud. Let's play a few games with him. It's best to have someone to accompany him when playing cards. As for the pretty girls I asked you to arrange, they're all set."

Lao Xukou's Lao Yang is actually the Emperor's boss Yang. Don't think that this guy is a bit powerful in the entertainment industry, but he is just a shrimp in the big D meeting, and his role is only a little higher than that of a bunch of idlers. Even the old Xu at this time Can call him back and forth.

   After listening to Lao Xu's words, Lao Yang Fu Fu glasses smiled and said:

   "It's been arranged a long time ago, Xu Sheng can rest assured. In the words of your mainland, I will do things, you can rest assured."
