The Pentium Era - South to North

Xiaofang sat there, a little absent-minded. She kept turning a pen on her desk with her fingers. After turning it for a while, she opened the video and had a conversation with Liu Qing in Shanghai. As he spoke, he continued to spin the pen in his hand.

After the call, Xiaofang picked up the pen and inserted it into the pen holder. She got up and walked into the bathroom. She walked to the sink, looked at herself in the mirror, and brushed a lock of hair from her forehead with her hand. He walked out again and sat down on the sofa.

Xiaofang is waiting for someone. The person she is waiting for is her senior student at Yale, who is now a well-known boss in the domestic investment community. At the beginning, like Xiaofang, he returned to China to invest with 20 million US dollars from the Yale University Fund. He invested 20 million US dollars in Tencent. Today, Tencent's market value has increased more than 400 times, making it his most successful investment.

One year ago, he also invested US$1.5 billion in JD.com, and then invested in Pinduoduo, Meituan, Ctrip and Qunar. Putting all these together, he formed the other half of the Internet that he and Mr. Ma can compete with.

Yesterday, the vice president of Yale called Xiaofang and said that this senior wanted to visit Xiaofang and asked her if it was possible. Xiaofang thought to herself, two Chinese people are in China, and they need an old American to help them. It's a bit funny to get to know each other.

Besides, according to his status in the domestic investment community, Xiaofang should be the one to visit him. This was the other way around, and his attitude was already low enough. How could Xiaofang refuse? Of course, he said he agreed and welcomed him.

Xiaofang has known about this senior for a long time, but has never had the opportunity to get to know him, and has no intention to get to know him. It is not that Xiaofang thinks he is aloof, or that his peers look down on him, but he is a little afraid. The water in the domestic investment community is too muddy now, with a mixture of good and bad, and everyone is there. .

There are people like her and this senior, whose identities and backgrounds are relatively simple, who have raised money abroad and invested in China, relying on their own vision and patience to focus on value investment. There are also a group of people who are actually half-empty. , but guys who believe that their background is unusual, they sniff around like hunting dogs, sniffing out where they can make money, and their methods——

It looks very polite, but in fact it is very rough. He just kicks him in and takes away everything he wants. The company they so-called invested in has no room or possibility to resist. If you don't agree, then the pressure will come overwhelming. .

Xiaofang felt that this was no investment at all, it was just vandalism, smashing and looting, but people thought that they were the orthodox ones and even the country belonged to them, so what happened to vandalism, smashing and looting?

There are not a few such so-called investors now, and they come in all sizes. When a small city reaches a certain level, and he feels that his background can cover the market, he becomes a market tyrant and can cover a certain market. When it comes to the industry, they become dominators. Many times, they don't achieve enough success, but they have more than enough bad deeds.

A former colleague of Xiaofang once said that I may not be able to guarantee that a certain company will be listed on the A-share market, but I can definitely prevent it from being listed on the market.

That's how he looks and eats.

There are also some relatively low-end investors who made money from loan sharking in the early years. Now they have washed their hands, put on suits and ties, and come to invest. Anyway, investing is really simple, and the threshold is very low. As long as you have money It’s okay, you don’t have money, you can have other things that can suppress others.

As for the rewards, that's another story.

Xiaofang is very repulsive to the latter two groups of people. She feels that if she accidentally gets involved with them, she will be unlucky without knowing when.

Isn't there a saying that the mountain depends on the water and the water flows on everyone. If people can't resist the laws of nature, they will grow old and die. Where in this damn world can there be anything that can always be relied on? The higher you climb today, the harder you will fall when you fall.

Unless you rely on yourself, of course, you will sometimes be unreliable, but in that case, at least you don't have to blame others, you can only admit that you are unlucky, and you will be convinced even if you lose.

Therefore, Xiaofang's circle of friends in China is very small. She doesn't like to hang out with others or join in the fun. She only likes to invest in a certain project alone, or only when people like Liu Yun and Xiaohu know the ins and outs, she will join forces with them to invest in a certain project. Project, other people, she won’t have contact with them if she doesn’t want to, and if she doesn’t know them, thank you, we can just stay as strangers.

Including some of her former colleagues in the United States, most of these people were in the second category. For a while, American fund companies and investment banks were very bad. They seemed to have suddenly enlightened and understood what was most important when investing in China. , what can make them make a lot of money.

They watched Goldman Sachs and Blackstone, like magicians, make giant state-owned enterprises listed in the United States and make huge profits. Their eyes were straightened, and they finally understood.

These ghost guys, from the very beginning they were very repulsive to a certain kind of young people in the country, to suddenly they regard them as a piece of cake and take them into their arms. To be honest, there are really not many decent people who are really capable. If he hangs around on Wall Street like this, of course he won't be able to get ahead. People want him, but they have no intention of letting him stay on Wall Street. All these people come back to their hometowns.

Xiaofang's former colleagues on Wall Street had several such guys. They thought that Xiaofang would go back to China and work with them. Of course, Xiaofang refused. After she returned to China, she basically had no contact with them.

People with different paths do not seek each other. Their path is one that Xiaofang cannot understand and looks down on, and she does not have the capital to follow it. It’s better to say goodbye and let’s forget each other in the world.

But the water in the domestic investment community is too muddy, and the energy of these people is so powerful that they are almost all-pervasive. They often get mixed up with the first type of people, and even become shadow warriors behind the first type of people, which makes it difficult for people to distinguish.

Another situation is that sometimes the investors are confused. They will feel that they need a backer behind such people, and they will be fine if they have them. They take the initiative to hook up with them, just like Xiaofang’s earliest Shuanghui International, and then they will Some investors came in. Xiaofang didn't know how these investors came in. Their faces were blurry and their figures were looming.

Xiaofang knows very well that if the company colludes with these people, you think you are suddenly powerful and can scold Fang Qiu. In fact, you are just voluntarily and stupidly strapping a bomb, and it will explode sooner or later. I just don't know the time of the explosion.

Xiaofang lost interest and withdrew from Shuanghui International.

When a person is in a turbid pond, it is difficult for him to clean himself up. If you don't need to wipe yourself with sewage, others will throw sewage at you, or when he falls down, the sewage will splash up. It will all splash on you.

It's better to stay away from these tragedies and be a very simple investor. When the water starts to become turbid, step away and escape.

Including Xiaofang doesn't want Zhang Chen's career to be tied to her own. This is also the reason. She knows that traditional companies like Zhang Chen are not listed on the market and have no leverage. She only knows that Hang Chi Hang Chi works hard like a fool. Yes, few of those guys are attracted to them, so it will be relatively safe.

To make it clear, Xiaofang also wanted to not let her affairs here affect Zhang Chen. Although it was difficult, the firewall still had to be built first.

This senior has taken such a big turn and is coming to visit Xiaofang today. Of course Xiaofang knows that he is here for "Zhai Xian Delivery". "Zhai Xian Delivery" has already shocked Teacher Ma and Jingdong. How could it be possible? Will escape from the sight of seniors.

Xiaofang is not as naive as Zhang Xiangbei. She knows that enterprises can survive and grow in society, not in a vacuum. In a vacuum, nothing will grow. With the scale of "home delivery" As it gets bigger and bigger, its profitability becomes clearer and clearer, and when everyone can see it, the pressure will get bigger and bigger.

Not only Zheng Huihong and this senior came to the door, but also many, many people, including many ghosts and monsters.

If they avoid it, they will go directly to Zhang Xiangbei or Zhang Chen. Ahem, it's better to do it by yourself.

Someone knocked on the door, Xiaofang said please come in, the door opened, Zhao Zheng and Xiaofang said: "Boss, someone is looking for you."

As soon as Zhao Zheng finished speaking, a man in his forties wearing glasses walked in. He did not have an entourage, nor was he wearing a suit and tie. Instead, he was wearing a jacket and a backpack on his back. , Xiaofang laughed when she saw his backpack. How much do the boys at Yale like backpacks?

However, you are no longer Zhang Xiangbei. With your age and status as a boss, you are still carrying a backpack. It is more like showing off, senior.

Xiaofang greeted her. The senior smiled when he looked at her and asked, "Are you Kan..."

"Call me Xiaofang, senior." Xiaofang said.

The senior laughed loudly, and the laughter rolled out one after another. It seemed that he couldn't stop, and his throat seemed to be blocked. The senior said:

"Okay, Xiaofang is fine, but she's not the one from the village."

Xiaofang laughed and said, "I really come from a village, a village below Chongqing."

"I am also from the village, and a name is like a place in the village." The senior said.

"I know, Zhumadian." Xiaofang said, "Senior's name is so popular now, how could I not know about it."

The senior continued to laugh: "Actually, I have been paying attention to you. Ever since you were on Wall Street, the chemistry student from Yale has become famous on Wall Street. However, someone told me that you are not willing to associate with others..."

"You don't mean to say that I'm aloof, do you?" Xiaofang laughed.

"No, no, wait, let me think about it, an old colleague of yours told me this. I think his word is very accurate." The senior thought for a moment and said, "Independent, unique independent, saying that you are very independent .”

"No way, I'm just a housewife. I can't be on the stage and I'm afraid of seeing people." Xiaofang laughed.

The senior tilted his head, looking at Xiaofang from behind the lenses, then looked around and asked:

"Is this a place for housewives? Why doesn't it look like it to me?"

Both of them laughed. This meeting was not bad. It really brought them back to the relationship between seniors and junior girls.

The senior continued: "I just thought, just be alone. There will definitely be a chance. Maybe I will meet you and Zhang Xiangbei at the Yale Alumni Association sometime. Zhang Xiangbei's affairs at Yale, I’ve heard a lot of it too.”

Well, it’s finally here, it’s finally Zhang Xiangbei, and then it’s time to go to “Zhai Xian Delivery”, so let’s come, Xiaofang thought to herself.
