Chapter 240

Lin Wei looked at him and said in surprise: "How did you do it? He shouldn't commit crimes against the odds."

Freeman has indeed done a lot of things that stepped on red lines, but the Independent Commission Against Corruption now has a bad reputation. How dare he?

Lin Wei and the others also wanted to settle the accounts for past events, but the response given by the Hong Kong Governor was to forget the past. To put it bluntly, the Independent Commission Against Corruption is directly managed by the Hong Kong Governor and is not affiliated with other agencies. The premise of having great power is to obey the orders of the Hong Kong Governor. .

"I'm used to taking shortcuts and can't help but face temptation. This is a gambler." Song Ye's lips remained unchanged and his eyes became a little darker. "But it's a pity that he used his own name." The company cannot affect Fu Sheng."

"Okay, it would be nice to have one less hand for Mrs. Eaton," Lin Wei drank the white wine in her glass. "Otherwise, she would have a strategist like Xu Wenshan by her side. "It's really hard for me to have a lackey like Freeman." Fu Sheng is really annoyed. They say there are no permanent enemies and no permanent friends, but the relationship between her and Fu Sheng is inextricable. .

Over the years, although she has not lost, and most of the time she has maintained a steady pressure, but apart from taking out the Kowloon Aviation Industry, she has not caused any substantial blow to Fu Sheng. It's not that she doesn't want to, but she really has no choice.

"That means you are satisfied with my gift?"

Lin Wei turned her head and raised the corners of her lips slightly: "I discovered that you give gifts for free. How can you be so stingy?"

" I prefer giving away things that can’t be bought with money." Song Ye put one hand in his pocket and held a wine glass in the other hand, with a faint smile in his eyes. "Besides, I have handed over all my wealth, and I only have to pay for it every month. Get pocket money."

Song Ye wanted to focus on his official career, so he put the company in Haoxin's name.

Lin Wei had always been curious about how many assets Song Ye had, but when she took it over and took a look, she was shocked.

The most surprising thing is not that he has nearly tens of billions of assets before going public, but that this operating model is unheard of.

Song Ye's real estate company directly connected the upstream, covering everything from cement and building materials to land purchase, decoration and sales, creating a complete closed loop and completely self-sufficient.

The most important thing is that his real estate company has almost no dealings with banks, and it does not provide financing when buying land. Home buyers who want loans go directly to his finance company, which allows the finance company to act as a bank.

How is this done?

Lin Wei was very surprised. Is this capital chain continuous?

After checking the accounts, it was found that Song Ye's toy company had become a foreign trade company, and the funds were enough to support his purchase of land.

Can you still do this?

Lin Wei felt that her eyes were really open. The main reason was that this model was too healthy. No financial crisis or real estate crash could affect him. At most, it would be a shrinkage of assets. Especially during the real estate crash in 1973, he did a lot of searching for land. The one with the cheap price is simply unbearable to look at. He bought cheap undeveloped land in Kowloon and the New Territories. The seller was really unlucky to meet him and he would never spend a penny more.

"I haven't confiscated your custody fee. You're aggrieved." Lin Wei put down the wine glass. "You will know how much of a bargain you got in the future."

Song Ye grabbed her hand that was holding the wine bottle, and his voice was clear. With a shallow smile: "I've always known it."

Lin Wei raised her head and met a pair of burning eyes. He leaned a little closer, staring at you with his bottomless eyes. Lin Wei felt like she was going to fall. After going down, I unconsciously lost my mind. This guy is so evil. Even though he is an old couple, he still can't help but feel excited.

"What are you doing?"

Song Ye lowered his head slightly, his eyes still dark and calm: "Go... have an affair." These words slowly came out from between his lips and teeth, and they sounded particularly tender in his ears.

There have always been curious eyes spying on them around them. Now seeing their actions, they couldn't help but gossip in a low voice. Song Ye and Lin Wei have been photographed by reporters several times, and the scandal between the two has spread. For many years, there has been no definite conclusion. There are many theories. Looking at today's situation, it's hard to say what the relationship is, but it is definitely not clear.

However, what happened to Lin Wei’s other rumored target, Wu Ming?

Seeing Song Ye say this, Lin Wei's ears started to heat up unconsciously, remembering the New Year's Eve dinner a few years ago.

It doesn't seem impossible. Keeping feelings fresh does require a little stimulation.

"The meeting is about to begin."

A voice interrupted them.

Wu Ming came over, handed his coat to Lin Wei, and said, "Let's go."

Song Ye glanced at him, let go of his hand, and said nothing. The emotions in his eyes quickly settled down, and the bright color in his eyes returned. Return to the calm blackness.

Seeing this, Lin Wei suddenly stood up on tiptoes, kissed Song Ye on the cheek, and then turned around and left without waiting for Song Ye's reaction, taking Wu Ming who was standing opposite him with him.

This situation left everyone around stunned.

How did our richest man Lin do it? It was such a blessing that the two men looked quite friendly and did not even start a fight.

The girls around looked envious.

Wu Ming had a calm face and steady steps: "Please consider my feelings."

Lin Wei put on her coat and said with a smile: "That won't work. My Song Ye is so handsome, I can't help it."

Wu Ming glanced at her . , withdrew his gaze: "I can bear it."

Lin Wei slapped her hands, this person is now broken.

She sighed and said, "It's because I'm too charming. That's right. An excellent woman like me is indeed very fascinating. It's right that you can't forget it."

Wu Ming took a deep breath and said, "Come again. A few times will be enough."

Lin Wei laughed.

The two of them were going to participate in a roundtable meeting.

The so-called roundtable meeting is an opportunity for everyone to communicate on an equal footing. There is no threshold and everyone can speak freely and express their demands.

This New Year's Eve business dinner was organized by Yuan Guodong and others to provide a platform for businessmen in Hong Kong City to communicate before the Spring Festival, open up industry development ideas, and prepare for the next year. This year is the second year it will be held.

Lin Wei didn't attend last time, but this time she came over to see what was going on.

Lin Wei chose two topics, one was real estate and the other was shipbuilding.

As a result, when I went upstairs, I heard that the real estate was fully occupied and shipbuilding had not started yet.

"Boss Lin," Mr. Huo came over with a smile, "I think you'd better not go over there and squeeze in. Come over here. You have the most experience in overseas market development." Then she was pulled to the international market next door. Development strategy conference room.

When the real estate meeting started, no one saw Lin Wei, so they sent someone out to look for her, only to find that she was already having a meeting next door.

Knowing that Lin Wei would come, many big shots from Xiangjiang came today. Who would have thought that she would go next door.

Entering overseas markets is the dream of many business owners. Lin Wei once used tea love to fool investors in Taiwan.

But everyone knows the difficulty of international companies, such as language barriers, local laws and connections, consumption habits, competition habits, etc. There are many things that need to be overcome.

When the Huo family was suppressed by the British Hong Kong government, they turned to developing overseas markets, trying shipping and energy, but the most profitable ones were his real estate and hotels in the port city.

We all work in different industries, some are in foreign trade, some are in clothing, some are in toys, some are in retail... But there are some common principles. Let's talk about the difficulties we encountered overseas, and everyone will help analyze them. , communicate with each other.

Lin Wei found that it is actually quite useful. She can gain some inspiration on how to reduce operating costs, how to obtain local talents, and which country is more suitable for going overseas.

She also answered the confusion of several small business owners,

"Professional legal and financial personnel are very important. Human resources must be well deployed. Do these well so that you will not be too passive. Overseas markets are a very difficult challenge. That is your responsibility." In a completely unfamiliar and unknown place, anything can happen, and even experienced people will encounter setbacks, so there is no need to worry about temporary success or failure, and be prepared for the cost of trial and error before taking the plunge. "

"But I have never heard of Boss Lin. When we fail, we can save the day every time. This is really something we can’t learn.”

Lin Wei smiled and said: “It’s not my fault alone, it’s the result of the team’s efforts, even if I made a big difference. It also shows that people are the most important thing. Enterprises must constantly dig out talents. Don’t save money here. Only when you encounter gold can you retain people. Bosses must be sincere to their employees. That will make you money. The cornucopia of people deserves to be treated well."

Everyone smiled and nodded in agreement. With Lin Wei's position, anyone would be regarded as a guide and a good word.

Lin Wei didn't want to mislead anyone, so she gave some very gentle suggestions.

The atmosphere of the meeting was very good. Later, someone asked Lin Wei about her next overseas expansion plan.

Everyone is very curious about this, but they are not sure whether Lin Wei will say it.

Lin Wei thought for a while and said, "I actually have plans to set up an investment company."

Investment company?

This surprised those present.

The industries Lin Wei chooses every time are surprising, from catering to luxury goods, real estate, shipbuilding...

When they thought Lin Wei would choose to continue to acquire other companies, they didn't expect that she would choose an investment company.

Lin Wei's career has now reached a special stage. If she wants to develop new fields, she has more than enough energy to acquire companies. She will have to expend energy to manage them. These companies in her hands are already hers. The limit.

But having money but not making money is not her style. There is no end to making money. The more money she has, the more things she can do.

Now that he is the richest man in Hong Kong, can't he go "overseas" again?

The idea of ​​setting up a venture capital company came to her at a computer expo in the United States four years ago. Looking at the deserted Apple booth, she discovered that there was actually a track she could try.

She really doesn't have the energy to make mobile phones and computers, but it would be much easier if she invests money. She can travel in various fields without being restricted by the industry, such as computers, games, mobile phones, cars, and the Internet.

But she has never done it. On the one hand, she is really too busy, and on the other hand, she has no research on venture capital companies.

In my previous life, I had not had much exposure to this industry except for finding venture capital firms when raising funds.

When it comes to venture capital companies, the first thing people may think of is the famous Sequoia Capital. Even if you don’t know the financial world at all, you should be familiar with this name. This is an old venture capital company and the industry benchmark so far. The largest and most successful venture capital firm.

Its two classic cases are one of abandoning Apple (missing the angel round and re-entering the game later), and the other of investing in Cisco. Later, he was everywhere, including IT giants, Apple, Google, Cisco, Yahoo, and Meituan. ...all are well-known large companies.

This company was founded in the 1970s. Speaking of which, Lin Wei had seen reports about this company in newspapers before, but it was not good news.

When this company was first established, it didn't even beat the S&P Index. It fell for several years in a row. Investors couldn't bear it and went to the person in charge to close their positions. As a result, the guy actually went into hiding and kept looking for him for several years. Without people, everyone will not be able to close their positions.

This matter was in the newspapers. Lin Wei confirmed it several times. This was the famous Sequoia Capital in later generations. She was extremely surprised. It could still be like this? It's really funny.

Lin Wei stopped paying attention to it after that. She took another look recently and found out that this group of investors had been struggling for four years and only turned around in the fifth year. The market had been rising steadily, which could be regarded as a turnaround.

Another classic case is that Masayoshi Son’s SoftBank invested in Alibaba and received a return of more than 250 billion US dollars.

But later, his Vision Fund lost hundreds of billions because of its wrong investment in WeWork.

This is a venture capital company, which is characterized by high risk and long cycle. It usually takes 3-7 years to get profits.

But no matter what, it takes a lot less energy than starting your own business.

When it comes to business, Lin Wei usually does what she says and starts work non-stop, but venture capital is still a bit unfamiliar to her and beyond the scope of her system.

Lin Wei's advantage is that she knows which companies and industries to invest in, but her disadvantage is that she is not professional enough.

What she knows are things that everyone in the industry knows, and being too professional will not work at all.

"Boss Lin already has a plan?" people asked.

Lin Wei nodded gently, there was nothing to hide: "I have plans to open a venture capital company in Silicon Valley next year, and the name is--"

She paused and said: "Micro Capital."
