Chapter 484 Raising $1.11 billion
Although Li Feiteng is very famous overseas, he still needs to make a lot of preparations if he wants to raise capital.
The first is to register an offshore company, then to partner with Ru Lynch, and then to contact the current acquaintance of the magnesium country, through the way of introducing friends, agreeing on a time, setting a location, and holding a fundraising banquet.
A week later, at the Hilton Hotel in San Francisco, Feiteng Lee's private fund raising banquet began, and a total of 268 banquet invitations were sent out across the United States.
In the presidential suite of the hotel, Li Feiteng sat in the study and used the computer to surf the Internet, and he handed over all the things to Ru Lynch and Sun Rong to do, and he was at ease.
He doesn't know how much capital he can raise, but after returning to China, he will definitely hold another fundraising in Xiangjiang and Yanjing, Li Feiteng's heart is very big, and he doesn't worry about how many billions he raises, and he doesn't worry about smashing it in his hands.
In the past two days, Li Feiteng has thought about it, and he has reimagined his private equity fund.
The first is to detail the return on investment, and the second is to add a variety of investment methods.
There is one way to invest in shares, and the other is to charge commissions according to the return on investment to help invest and manage money.
There is no commission for an annual return on investment of less than 8%, and a commission of 50% for every 1% exceeded.
For example, there is a person who is willing to ask Li Feiteng to help invest for $10 million, and he gets $800,000 a year, that is, he helps him invest for free, more than 800,000, every $10,000. Li Feiteng received a commission of $5,000 as compensation.
Of course. In this regard, Li Feiteng is not prepared to guarantee a return on investment. Even the principal is not guaranteed, he is ready to use these investments to speculate in gold.
Speculating in gold, high risk and high return, that is for others, Li Feiteng is very clear about the trend of gold in the past two years, especially the 911 incident next year, which will make gold skyrocket.
And the future. Many times gold has plummeted and skyrocketed, and Li Feiteng now remembers those times very clearly, and he really can't help but want to get involved.
While Li Feiteng was thinking, Ru Lynch came to the door of the study and shouted softly: "Boss, the banquet is about to start, and several guests have arrived, waiting to see you." ”
"I see. Li Feiteng responded, and he closed the computer. I deleted all the content of the document I just wrote and memorized it in my head.
After he walked out. Walking downstairs with Ru Linqi, he asked as he walked, "Is there any one with a bigger background?"
Ru Lynch hurriedly replied, "Mr. Karl from Wells Fargo has arrived. ”
Li Feiteng was slightly moved, Wells Fargo is one of the four major banks in the magnesium country and one of the top ten consortia in the United States, he hurriedly asked: "What is the identity of this Carl?"
"The head of Wells Fargo's venture capital department, he should have come in his personal name this time. ”
"Do you know how much he's worth?"
"There is no him in this year's Forbes list of the world's richest people. ”
"Just because he doesn't have it doesn't mean he's not rich. ”
"Yes, boss. ”
Li Feiteng glanced at Ru Lynch, he is not on the Forbes list of the world's richest people, because he has always refused interviews and inquiries from Forbes, coupled with the guarantee of his offshore company, Forbes has no way to understand how much capital he has.
Because of this, he was only the richest man in the Huaxia Continent before, and after immigrating, the Huaxia Continent definitely did not list Li Feiteng among them, so he is not even the richest man in the mainland now.
However, next year it will definitely be listed as a billionaire by Forbes, because he exposed the figure of $8.76 billion, and Forbes will definitely make an estimate next year.
In the banquet hall, there were several old American men, and when they saw Li Feiteng coming in, they all turned around and stopped, hurriedly walked over quickly, and shook hands with Li Feiteng.
"This is Mr. Karl. Ru Lynch reminded in Chinese on the side.
Li Feiteng hurriedly smiled enthusiastically: "Mr. Carl, I'm glad that you can come to my fund's fundraising meeting. ”
Carl hurriedly said: "I just want to see you for real, but I also have some interests that I want to invest, can you tell me about the current status of your fund?"
"Mr. Karl, I'd better wait a little longer, when everyone gathers, so that we can save precious time. Li Feiteng said, he glanced back at the other people who entered the field one after another, quickly smiled with him, turned around and shook hands with the others and briefly got to know each other, that is, to contact, know and exchange business cards with other newly arrived rich people in the field.
About twenty minutes later, Ru Linqi, who was next to Li Feiteng, had already accepted hundreds of business cards for her boss, but fortunately she had prepared more than 200 business cards, otherwise she really wouldn't have been able to send them.
There were only 200 seats in this banquet hall, and Li Feiteng thought that when the seats were full, they were all here, but what he didn't expect was that there were other people coming one after another.
In such a situation, it is natural that there are people who have banquets and bring too many secretaries and friends, and in the West, secretaries will naturally accompany them to sit down, so there are not enough seats.
It's not Li Feiteng's fault, but this is the largest banquet hall in the hotel, and Ru Lynch didn't find any other good way.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am very unfortunate to tell you one thing, that is, there are not enough seats and not enough space, and it is my fault, but it is also your fault, are you so willing to squeeze out expensive time to listen to me as a liar?"
Li Feiteng stood on the podium, he didn't care about the people who came later, either they were standing, or they were friends who could be known through guò, let the secretary stand, and they sat down.
Anyway, he was about to start his speech, and there were all people below, two hundred people sitting, and dozens more people standing.
The applause was echoed by Li Feiteng, who laughed at himself for being a liar, which is something that the people of the magnesium country find very humorous.
Li Feiteng nodded with a smile and continued to say in his fluent English: "It is the first time that many of you and I have met each other, so please allow me to introduce myself in five minutes." ”
"My Chinese name is Li Feiteng, and my English name is kingli, which is my famous pen name, King Li. ”
"I am a citizen of the magnesium country like everyone here, there is no difference, if you want to say the difference, maybe last year I was still a living dead, and this year I will be reborn as a big living person. I don't have too many rhetoric, I just want to say that in 1996, when I was a hairy boy, I had invested 100 million yuan in the Chinese stock market for half a year at a cost, earned 100 million yuan back, and achieved an annual return on investment of 25%. ”
"In 1997, I worked with Mr. Soros, a well-known hedge fund, to snipe the Korean won, and that year, I made a net profit of $300 million, the investment cost was $100 million, and in three months, the annual profit was 120%!"
"In 1998, I had a disagreement with Soros, I didn't build yì he sniped at Xiangjiang, I didn't expect him to be very persistent, and I had to turn friends into enemies, and compete in Xiangjiang, I used 8.1 billion Hong Kong dollars to invest in the Xiangjiang stock market, at that time, 8.1 billion Hong Kong dollars was my entire net worth, and in 2000 this year, I just want to tell you that 8.1 billion Hong Kong dollars has become dollars!"
"Do the math, I've gone from a few thousand dollars to more than 80,000% asset appreciation in five years, and you call me the Asian miracle, the global miracle, and I want to say, will you be willing to believe in miracles all the time?"
Many wealthy people in the audience were particularly shocked when they listened to Li Feiteng's speech.
"Oh my God, he started his business from a few thousand dollars, 80,000% asset growth, is he human?"
"He is God!"
"Sure enough, as the newspaper said, this King Li is too shocking. ”
"I really can't believe it. ”
Next, Li Feiteng calmly took over the fund information prepared by Ru Linqi, stood on the stage, and told it sentence by word, stating in detail the conditions for joining the fund and the contract rules.
After talking for more than an hour, the rich people on the field did not leave, until Li Feiteng closed the text, they applauded passionately, and under the leadership of Ru Lynch's employees, they negotiated investment intentions with them in batches.
"I want to invest $20 million in venture funds!"
"I'm going to invest $10 million in an industrial fund. ”
"$15 million!"
"$26 million!"
"$100 million!"
"$80 million!"
After the investment contracts reached one by one came out, the amount above made Li Feiteng overjoyed, he didn't expect his speech to be so successful, so that this group of rich people could come up with so much cash.
The richest person in the world is not an individual, but a collective, even if Li Feiteng is rich, he also knows the truth that he is weak.
Speculating in stocks, speculating in foreign exchange, speculating in gold, these are all required to be supported by very strong cash capital, maybe shorting is not needed, you can leverage many times, but long, without the guarantee of cash, it is easy to appear full of positions, once hacked, is targeted and suppressed, it is difficult for him to guarantee that he will not lose all his money.
King Li Industrial Fund, of course, is just a name, not just doing business, Li Feiteng has divided into two kinds, one is the previous one, and the other is that nothing is guaranteed, and he fully believes in Li Feiteng's risky financial investment.
The rich are also very busy, and the time of this group of people is precious to Li Feiteng, but the business that everyone is doing today is relatively large, so many people who invest a lot of money have also talked with Li Feiteng for a long time.
Slowly, time passed, and the group of rich people gradually dispersed with their contracts, and when it was evening, the fundraising banquet entered the stage of dining.
There weren't many people who stayed to eat, and Li Feiteng was completely excited and couldn't bear it.
Because the industrial holdings raised $540 million, and the venture capital raised $670 million, a total of $1.11 billion......!
