Ankang decided to fight Zhou Mingfeng to the end. He offered better conditions to college students and young people, attracting more young people to his business plan. Ankang knows that the most important thing for these entrepreneurs is not how much funding they get, but how successful they can ultimately be.

An Kang and Zhou Mingfeng have completely different purposes for supporting young people to start their own businesses. Zhou Mingfeng is trying to make money, and he doesn't care whether the entrepreneurial project can be successful in the end. The purpose of Ankang is to guide entrepreneurs to succeed and make reasonable profits from it.

The difference between the two is not visible in the short term. It wasn't until 2016 that many entrepreneurs understood the difference between the two startup support agencies. However, in order to support young people to start their own businesses, the fund they set up became a non-profit organization, and Ankang also paid a lot of financial losses for this.

Ankang and Liu Xinran met again because of a mining project.

Ever since Ankang met Liu Xinran at her wedding to Nanhuayu, Ankang and her have never met again, until a Canadian mining company for sale appeared in Ankang's field of vision.

This company does not meet the target of Ankang's investment companies and investment funds in terms of industry and region, but this company was introduced by Zheng Lichen, so Ankang must help.

Zheng Lichen also left a few years later after Ankang and Wu Mo left Bristel Tower Investment. He returned to the United States and, together with several college alumni, founded an investment firm specializing in mineral rights trading.

After taking a thorough look at the mining company, Ankang found it to be a very good investment opportunity. So he asked Liu Xinran to come to his company to introduce the mining company and ask his father to invest.

Liu Xinran and his father are not familiar with overseas mergers and acquisitions, and they are entrusted with Ankang to operate. Ankang succeeded in gaining control of a Canadian mining company at a very low price, and the mining company began supplying ore to China. Ankang realized that it could replicate this modus operandi and give Chinese companies access to overseas mining resources.

As the world's fastest-growing economy, China's demand for energy and ore is huge. Ankang believes that this may provide a new channel for China to purchase energy from abroad. Such channels are different from official channels and are often more flexible than official channels.

If it is government procurement or state-owned company procurement, foreign media will exaggerate it, resulting in a sharp increase in the price of goods. For example, the international price of iron ore is because China's purchases are too large, which makes the price negotiation passive. If it is dispersed to many private enterprises, then it will not be concerned by the media and the industry, so as to achieve the effect of secretly crossing the warehouse.

Through such a mining project, Ankang has truly regarded this industry as a new business of its own. In addition to pulling Liu Xinran's father to do business operations, he also pulled Wei Lao to be an investor.

Mining investments can take many forms. The simplest is to invest in the mine's operating cash flow. Different mines have different rates of return and return periods depending on the difficulty of mining and the cycle of mining.

For example, gold ore is a mineral with high mining difficulty, while laterite nickel ore is a mineral with low mining difficulty. However, gold ore has a high return, while laterite nickel ore has a low return.

Another form of investment is that mines can operate in the capital market. The Canadian securities market, in particular, is very friendly to mining companies. Once a mining company goes public, the original investment can be realized. Once the mining company uses the raised funds to mine, the mining company will usher in a big rise.

The mining industry has a natural industry cycle, and like stocks, it will often rise and fall. This creates many natural opportunities for secondary market investment or speculation.

When the mining industry falls into a recession, it is a good opportunity for capital allocation. And when the mining industry ushers in a period of growth, the capital can get an excess return. Under normal circumstances, the return over a five-year period is bound to exceed that of an investment in the securities market.

This kind of investment logic is very simple, but the operation requires a high degree of professionalism. Therefore, neither Liu Xinran's father nor Wei Lao could take on the work of capital operation. Ankang took this burden on himself.

An Kang and Zhu Xue met again because of a live broadcast. Zhu Xue came out of the real estate consulting company where she worked to do a live broadcast. She was originally just doing live broadcasts to experience the feeling of live broadcasting during the gap period of her career, but she didn't expect to really become an Internet celebrity. Although fans are incomparable to those big Vs, there are also many fans.

Ankang's comfort made Zhu Xue quickly come out of the shadow of divorce. Zhu Xue thinks that she can use the live broadcast to help Ankang. So he often advertised for Ankang's investment companies and funds in live broadcasts, and pulled funds and investors for him. Ankang didn't know anything about it.

When An Kang learned that an Internet celebrity he often heard about was actually Zhu Xue, he was very surprised. Because in his opinion, Shanghai girls like Zhu Xue are generally not very good at showing up for live broadcasts. Although Zhu Xue is the kind of girl with a more generous personality, she is still a group of people who are heavily influenced by the temperament of celebrities in Shanghai. The so-called live broadcast, to put it bluntly, is to accompany the chat. Either she chats with others, or others talk with her.

"Why do you want to do this?" Ankang once asked Zhu Xue.

"It's fun, it's also a way to pass the time." Zhu Xue replied.

Fun is not necessarily fun, but passing the time is real.

When Zhu Xue first gave birth, she once told Ankang that she had no way to sleep almost all day long in order to take care of the child. Ankang couldn't understand this at all. Babies can sleep for more than 10 hours a day. You can't sleep when your child sleeps? How can you not have a chance to sleep all day long?

When Ankang had a child himself, and saw Nanhuayu rubbing his sleepy eyes and getting up in the middle of the night to breastfeed, and sitting and falling asleep several times, Ankang knew the hardships of raising a child, and also understood that women spent almost all their time on taking care of children in the first few years of their children.

After Zhu Xue's divorce, the child was awarded to her ex-husband. In this way, Zhu Xue's original time to spend with the children was free. That's what she was spending.

Whether it is Ankang or Zhu Xue herself, they all know that it is not a good thing to pass the time, but in the special period after the divorce, maybe it is the best plan to find a way to pass the free time.

Chatting, no matter who accompanies whom, at least can make a person less lonely.

This year, for the first time, international authorities listed Shanghai as the world's top city. However, the citizens of Shanghai, the world's top city, are happy to travel to non-top regions around the world. The first time Ankang took Nanhuayu and her children to travel abroad, it was regarded as a condolence to her wholeheartedly for taking care of her children, and she also wanted to reflect the thoughtfulness of a responsible husband and father.

However, what he didn't expect was that when Ankang was traveling overseas, his old rival Zhou Mingfeng suddenly launched a hostile merger and acquisition of Ankang's investment company and several of its funds, and rumored in the market that Ankang's company was involved in Bitcoin, P2P and other businesses to cause cash outflow problems, causing panic among investors.

Ankang had no choice but to apologize to Nanhuayu and interrupt his vacation to return to China to deal with the crisis.

On the return plane, looking at his sleeping wife and son, Ankang was full of emotion. It has been said that life is about being born and then living. That's how to do business. The unsatisfactory in the career may be used to achieve oneself.
