Chapter 278: Financial Salon (1)

Tan Qin's villa layout is not the traditional European and American villa: front and back yard, garden pool. It has a larger footprint and is more private.

After entering the gate of the villa, you need to drive forward for a few minutes to reach the door of the hall on the first floor of the villa where Jing Gao is now located. The interior style is simple and atmospheric, with a preference for wood and coffee.

"Mr. Jing, please!" Walking into the gate of the villa, the old housekeeper in an English tuxedo who was waiting at the door bowed slightly, Tan Qin once again warmly stretched out his hand to invite, and brought Jing Gao and Guan Yujia inside.

Tan Chin's late fathers were once active in the political arena. But that's all in the past. He is now largely dependent on the care of his uncles. In the eyes of real power figures, Jing Gao is now a "little shrimp", and he is not enough to be on the stage. But Tan Qin doesn't have that qualification.

In today's capital circle, Jing Gao is now what Ouyang Wan said yesterday: You are a big star! Therefore, Tan Qin personally went out to greet him, although his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, but he was very enthusiastic.

The living room is spacious, furnished with sofas, coffee tables, artwork, etc. The adjacent rooms are all connected. At this time, there are many people drinking tea and communicating in it.

The so-called "salon" is a foreign word. You can roughly refer to the "living room of our wives" written by Bingxin back then. Or watch an episode of the hit TV series "Ode to Joy" where Andy goes to a party at Tan Zongming's villa.

The official start time of the "Financial Wednesday" salon is 3 p.m. But Tan Qin is here on the outskirts of the city, and no one is stuck at three o'clock. Those who prefer this kind of social occasion can come early. If you don't like it, you can come later, listen to the latest news in the industry and leave.

"Mr. Tan, this house is very good!" Jing Gao praised as he looked around. Because it was the first time he came, he came half an hour early. This practice undoubtedly made Tan Qin very comfortable. It means a kind of respect.

"Thank you. Tan Qin beckoned the waiter to bring the drink, and said sincerely: "Mr. Jing, the amount of friends who come now is not enough." If you want to talk about the future development trend of Uber (China), you'd better wait. ”

Jing Gao smiled, "Mr. Tan, thank you for the reminder." He said to the waiter: "Assistant Guan can't drink enough." Please send me a cup of tea. ”

Tan Qin smiled and nodded, Jing Gao was in front of him, which was almost a semi-public relationship with this beautiful assistant, but it was actually a manifestation of being close to him. "Mr. Jing, this is my business card. ”

As soon as they exchanged business cards with each other, Shen Nanpeng from Hongbin (China) came over with a wine glass. Tan Qin made an introduction. The three of them exchanged two words, and Tan Qin took his leave, "You talk." ”

Tan Qin went to sit down on a couch in the living room. Someone immediately asked, "Old Tan, who is that young man you brought in?"

"That's right. Mr. Tan, this is a fresh face. Who else deserves to be greeted at the door in person?"

Tan Qin knocked on Erlang's leg, held a wine glass in his hand, and said with a smile: "Yesterday in the WeChat group, didn't you have a very hot chat? This is your topic person, Jing Gao of the Phoenix Fund." ”

"Won't it?"

A pair of eyes looked at the young man in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking. The news quietly spread: Mr. Jing is here.

...

...

Hongbin (China) is well-known in the domestic venture capital circle. Shen Nanpeng is well-known among Chinese entrepreneurs. But Jing Gao really didn't know Shen Nanpeng. Even if there was a bit of a holiday before. But this is the first time the two have met.

Shen Nanpeng is 50 years old, with short hair, a round face, and a pair of eyes. Wear a light blue suit as the weather is a bit chilly in early autumn. Woolen sweater on it. After Tan Qin left, he took the wine glass and muttered for a moment, and said, "Mr. Jing, I need to apologize to you." ”

Shen Nanpeng entered the venture capital field in 2005. In the past ten years, he has invested in almost half of the companies in the Internet circle: Sina, JD.com, AutoNavi, 360, Noah, Vipshop, Alibaba, Douban, Dianping, Meituan, Donkey Mama, Tuniu, etc.

However, look at the information carefully.

When he entered the venture capital scene in his first year, none of the companies he invested in exceeded $10 million. At that time, he had $50 million in money under management. By 2016, he had invested in more than 300 companies with total assets under management of about $9 billion.

Do you understand?

If you purely look at it from the perspective of making money, starting a business, and doing business, this person can be a genius!

In ten years' time, note that he is not a reborn, nor does he come from a place like this. The fact that he was able to grow the money under management from $50 million to $9 billion is quite terrifying!

What boss doesn't love such talent, and what partner doesn't want to do business with him?

However, the amount of funds under his management is dwarfed by the amount of funds he manages in such a powerful figure! In the Internet venture capital world, Ali and Tencent are at the level of their fathers. It feels like they're like money is infinite. However, the actual funds available to Ali Capital are only 20 billion US dollars. How does this amount of money compare with the height of the well?

Through these two comparisons, we can roughly understand Jinggao's status in the venture capital circle and Internet enterprise circle at this moment!

Jinggao's Phoenix Fund spent $8.2 billion to acquire Uber (China) and about $1.8 billion to acquire LeEco's asset portfolio. The strength displayed by this adds up to a terrifying one. Numbers are more than numbers!

Therefore, the emotions stirred up here in the magic capital can be said to be a "feast of wealth" on the surface, because Jing Gao has spoken to the outside world! But in essence, it is still a continuation of the impact brought about by the Phoenix Fund's acquisition of LeTV's asset package!

We must be soberly aware of this: Phoenix Fund is a company in the domestic venture capital circle that is comparable to or even surpassed by Ali and Tencent!

This is the first time that Jing Gao has released a signal to the outside world after "becoming famous", and the capital circle here in the magic capital gave him a very positive feedback: sought after!

Shen Nanpeng and Jing Gao's "festival" before Jing Gao "became famous". Otherwise, how could a person like him be stupid? He didn't know if Idaka was motivated by "commercial competition" or if he was unconscious. In short, Idaka used his fame after "fame" to the extreme.

Fame is such a thing, and there is a certain timeliness. This is almost nothing more than a Weibo hotspot. And Jing Gao's participation in this financial salon is to maximize the benefits! Appearing, brushing his face, not to mention, he only needs to collect a circle of business cards, this is a very terrifying net. It would be better if you could establish a personal relationship with someone.

Businessmen, the phrase on their lips is "in business". Jing Gao can't use the energy of this net? As long as he takes out his "money ability," why can't he use it? In layman's terms, his path has widened.

Jing Gao smiled noncommittally, waiting for Shen Nanpeng's next step. Or is it the same sentence, an apology is useful, what do you want the police to do?

Shen Nanpeng had already prepared and said sincerely: "Mr. Jing, I don't know if you are interested in investing in Hongbin (China)?"

The philosophy of the Chinese is dialectical and unified. It is what Taoism calls "Tai Chi". Crisis and danger contain opportunities. He offended Mr. Jing, this is the crisis. According to the information he learned from some channels, Mr. Jing really wanted to be determined to engage him, and the projects he invested in recently would basically lose nothing. For example, what if Mr. Jing released his words and did not buy Didi shares in the hands of Hongbin (China)?

The shareholders of Na Hongbin (China) are expected to kill him.

Idaka was slightly surprised. Shen Nanpeng's meaning is translated as: Big man, can I work for you?

The full name of Hongbin (China) is: Hongbin Capital China Fund. The information on the Internet all talks about how awesome Hongbin (China) is and which companies it has invested in. But there is a lot of secrecy about how the money is raised.

To put it bluntly, it's like a private equity fund. It's just that instead of investing in the stock market, futures, bonds, etc., it does venture capital. Usually, it is very difficult to get a share of this kind of fund. They are not short of money to invest.

Many people always can't understand what China's foreign capital will do when it comes in. In addition to those traditional ways of opening factories, it is estimated that there are many foreign shareholders in Hongbin (China).

Jing Gao raised his wine glass and touched Shen Nanpeng lightly, and said quietly: "I invested 500 million US dollars in my personal name." ”

Shen Nanpeng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was really afraid that Jing Gao would directly throw $1 billion over. Then he will have to be busy spending money this year and looking for investment projects everywhere. If you invest too much, you will have to pay dividends.

"Okay. Mr. Jing, I would like to toast you again. I wish Uber to become the leader of ride-hailing as soon as possible. ”

Jing Gao smiled and nodded, giving Shen Nanpeng a smile. Almost all of the people he met after coming to the Demon Capital this time were human spirits. For example: President Mo, Shen Nanpeng. I don't know if it's because of his level improvement. Said:"

Mr. Shen, do you know Mr. Zhou of 360? I just bought Coolpad from LeTV, and Coolpad and 360 cooperated to make a very cool one, and last year there was a lot of uproar. Coolpad also has a 20% stake in Qiku. I would like to ask Mr. Shen to do me a favor and dispose of this part of the shares. It doesn't matter if the money is not money, just deal with it cleanly. I owe Mr. Shen a favor for this. ”

The cardinal leader of 360 is notoriously difficult in the industry, and he started out as a rogue software. As an aside, Wanda's Xiao Wang and 360 have cooperated, and Xiao Wang's business empire collapsed, and the fundamental reason is the opposition with Tencent. But did 360 push it reasonably and legally in the process of his defeat? It's really hard to say!

The internal opinion of Phoenix Fund is to sell 20% of its Qiku shares to 360. Cut open.

When Shen Nanpeng heard this, he still looked smiling, but he was obviously close to three points, and said: "Look at what Mr. Jing said, what kind of people are not humane? ”

Jing Gao can do such a big business, there is indeed a level. Jing Gao's request is entrusted, and the relationship between him and Mr. Jing will naturally become close. Of course, this is also because he is still a little famous in this industry. After Mr. Jing reconciled with him, didn't he intend to associate with him?

Hey, it's not. How can I seem to run errands for Mr. Jing, and Mr. Jing is willing to associate with me, and I am still very honorable?

Shen Nanpeng reacted, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. There are talents in the country.

...

...

While chatting here, Tan Qin walked over with a smile and whispered, "Mr. Jing, the time is about the same." Please come with me. ”

The heavyweights of today's gathering are pretty much there. It's time to talk.
