How dare Song Fuxiang drag on financing of this scale, Fan Liancheng learned the news as soon as possible.

Some time ago, I learned from Goldman Sachs that Facebook was short of money and tried to carry out a new round of financing, and Fan Liancheng asked Goldman Sachs to help pay attention to the latest trends.

Judging from the current background, shortly after the outbreak of the financial crisis triggered by subprime mortgages at the end of last year, the global economy was sluggish, major enterprises and banks were short of cash, the Nasdaq sector was in a gloomy decline, and even Apple, which had excellent performance, was hovering around Fan Liancheng's purchase price, and it had not been able to bring him much return for the time being.

Investors are not too optimistic about the prospects of Silicon Valley's social media industry, otherwise hundreds of millions of dollars in financing would have been easily filled by many wealthy people out of their own pockets, and Facebook's first to third round of financing has been relatively smooth, and this time it seems to be a little bit of a setback.

When he received the call, Fan Liancheng was looking at Mount Fuji in the distance, took a few photos to take a souvenir, and was about to go to the foot of the mountain to find a hotel with a good environment to stay for one night and experience the original taste of the traditional homestay.

Hearing Song Fuxiang ask on the phone why he fell in love with this company, Fan Liancheng explained with a smile:

"It's because of the recent bad market that I want to invest more, haven't you ever used Apple's mobile phone? I heard that Microsoft and Google are also developing smartphones, and I think these social programs will be more widely used in the future.

In addition, Facebook has not yet been listed, and the valuation has reached about 10 billion US dollars, which is different from start-ups, whether it is the brand, market share, or user group, the investment risk is slightly smaller, and I will find a way to deal with the money, and you can find someone to go instead of me.

When necessary, I will give up the right to speak and the board seat, and I only need shares. It's just an investment, and I don't want to be the boss, anyway, I don't have much say in the shares, the price range is between 95 and 10.5 billion, I can accept it, if you have a way to talk about less than 10 billion, I will give you a reward of 100,000 US dollars for every 100 million less, and the members of the negotiation team also have money. ”

At the same time as the phone called, I took a picture of the two girls with the camera, this is a hard job, I can only say that Fan Liancheng's photography skills are comparable to Lao Feng's, and he thinks very beautifully in his head, but after taking it, it is not like that at all.

The two big beauties of about 1.7 meters were photographed by him about 1.55 meters, and they didn't bother to explain that they wore a lot of clothes, so they decisively went on strike and let the bodyguards do it for them, and walked to the side to make serious calls to discuss business matters.

Song Fuxiang told: "It doesn't matter if you have a bonus, but of course it's better to have a bonus, and your subordinates will work harder." I'll look for it today to see who knows the boss of the Silicon Valley Internet company, and if you can't find an acquaintance, ask Goldman Sachs to come forward on your behalf, since you closed your position and withdrew, Goldman Sachs has called me more than once to recommend investment projects.

What's more, didn't you invest in hedge funds from Goldman Sachs at that time, and after you arrived, you automatically settled and earned more than $36 million, which was just enough to be taken out to continue investing. If you want to take out a loan, I recommend going from Standard Chartered Bank, which seems to be short of business lately and can negotiate a reasonable price. ”

Without thinking about it, Fan Liancheng refused and said: "It has nothing to do with money, I took a loan from a mainland bank, the credit line is higher, and I have the help of acquaintances, and the connections that I have accumulated with great difficulty cannot be broken, which is far more important than a few interest money." It should be pledged with Longcheng shares or Banyan Tree One shares, and you should help reorganize all the assets first, so as not to get it too late. ”

Sorting out assets is not only for loans, but also to take the opportunity to find a third-party accounting firm to carefully audit the accounts in recent years.

The number of employees in the headquarters of Liby Liancheng International is small, and he usually goes there less often, including Song Fuxiang, he has not trusted these employees enough to dare to let go, and check the accounts when necessary, which is very deterrent, so as not to be cheated one day and have no place to cry.

Looking at Fan Liancheng's personal assets alone, the overall debt ratio is about 22 percent, and he repaid some of his short-term loans after closing his position at the end of last year.

Now I plan to take out a loan to keep some money, and then take some money out to invest, but I can't borrow money from Lao Fan's hands first, last time he Lao Tzu also said hello when he was short of money, Lao Fan's personal debt ratio is only single digits, which is already considered too safe, but missed some relatively good investment opportunities. For example, from October last year to the present, there are many stocks that have rebounded from the low level of the A-share market, and his old man has grabbed some high-quality stocks, but the yield is too small compared with Fan Liancheng.

When Lao Tzu was too cautious, it became a waste in the eyes of Fan Liancheng, and at this moment he was thinking about borrowing two or three billion yuan from Lao Fan, and immediately checked the recent news related to Facebook.

I didn't see the news about financing, saying that its performance in the first quarter declined a lot, the main source of profit is advertising business, the economic environment is sluggish, and the number of businesses willing to take money to advertise will naturally decrease, so there is no need to make a fuss.

......

Knowing that the luxury apartment in the casino was about to be renovated, Fan Liancheng said that he would fly to the casino to play for two more days after reading the book.

Important business was completed at the end of last year, and now it is like further optimizing the asset layout, not daring to bet on the rebound of oil, let alone short or long the stock market, and has not logged in to the private account opened in Goldman Sachs for a long time.

Last time, I invested a large amount of money in Apple, and this time I want to make a private equity investment in Facebook, compared with the Silicon Valley industry, the mainland market is currently a little smaller, such as digging treasure and other relatively good Internet companies, the financing quotation seems too high, and the venture capital business is still ongoing, but Fan Liancheng also pays more attention to the mature Silicon Valley market.

The company is located in a casino, and the flow of funds is slightly more convenient, not to mention that mainland banks also open business in Hong Kong and casinos, and the flow of funds is relatively free. In addition, Fan Liancheng has invested in the mainland, so there is no need to worry about being considered to "run away", and the focus of the business is actually the real estate field.

In March, there is more snow on Mt. Fuji, just in time for the cherry blossom season, the environment is not bad, compared with the Alps during the Spring Festival, a lonely mountain is much inferior, the average altitude of the mountain range in Europe is 3,000 meters, a total of 82 mountains are more than 4,000 meters above sea level, just move one over, and it will kill Mt. Fuji in seconds.

As for culture and feelings, it may be a little, but Fan Liancheng can't feel it, this trip was originally a distraction, but now that Han Xiaowen and Luo Jing are close, he has become a little follower to play.

Soon after, I received a text message from Song Fuxiang, saying that he was preparing a small team today, and he would fly to San Francisco in the afternoon to go to the Facebook headquarters in Silicon Valley to talk to the Harvard dropout who was the founder and CEO......
