The time came to the end of January 1996, the lunar calendar also entered the wax moon, and the New Year Festival was approaching, and Ha Yuan once again fell a heavy snowfall, and the weather was even colder.

The western suburbs of the town.

Outdoors in the snowy season, the water is splashed into ice, but the atmosphere in the Tao family's mansion is very hot, because a small signing ceremony has just been completed.

During this time, Tao Nuanyu, who had traveled thousands of miles, returned from the United States again, bringing back all kinds of materials needed for the establishment of a private equity fund.

Su and Hangzhou came here today to sign a series of documents.

The name of the private equity fund is determined to be Mercury Capital, with its registered address in the Cayman Islands, a well-known offshore tax haven.

Knowing this, Su Hang's first feeling was ...... We are also people who have a company in Cayman.

Let's talk about shares.

According to the previous discussion, Su Hang and Tao Nuanyu each have half of each, both of which are 50%.

Tao Nuanyu wanted to bring her 'girlfriend' Veronica Perry and another classmate Chai Xi in before, but Su Hang didn't agree.

Uncooked.

Although Su Hang has no obsession with the shareholding ratio of various companies under his name, he is not so good at talking that anyone will give equity as soon as he opens his mouth.

Present.

After the various agreements were signed, a Western-style cocktail party followed.

In the small living room on the west side of the Tao family's mansion.

Tao Bingli, Su Quanquan, Zheng Chun, Lu Yuansong, Cao Xingmao and others were all there, as well as various other guests, and everyone gathered in groups to discuss various recent topics.

Tao Nuanyu caught Su Hang, and was still a little dissatisfied with a teenager's refusal to give her shares in the other two partners, and was talking about his own merits: "The Chinese businessmen recommended by Zheng Shuming were originally going to invest in Mercury Capital, just like Jiangdong Electronics, but I resolutely pushed it." Su Hang, Vera and Chai Xi, just give them 10% each, you don't agree, it's too stingy, right? ”

Su Hang took a glass of wine handed over by Tao Nuanci, took a sip, shook his head and said: "Sister Nuanyu, if you bluntly say that you want the control of Mercury Capital, more than 50%, I won't insist on it, but if I give it to others casually, it will be difficult for me to agree." ”

"Ah......h

Tao Nuanyu didn't expect the young man to answer like this, and suddenly opened his mouth slightly, revealing his surprise after his mind was exposed.

There are still some surprises.

Tao Nuanci was next to the young man, and when he saw that his sister, who had always been the strongest in the family, was deflated here in Suzhou and Hangzhou, he was suddenly a little proud, if it wasn't for the fact that there were too many people around, they all wanted to hold his arm.

This is my boyfriend.

Tao Nuanyu was stunned for a moment before she said again: "Su Hang, you ...... Saw it at the beginning? ”

"What's not to see?" Su Hang smiled: "According to what you mean, the two of them each have 10%, counting your 40%, adding up to 60%, at first glance, they want to be in control." Sister Nuan Yu, actually, if you want to, just tell me directly, I have a nickname......"

When Su Hang said this, Tao Nuanci couldn't help but smile and grab the words: "It's 'Su Sancheng', Su Hang said that for various companies, he only accounts for three achievements......" After gloating to her sister, the girl looked at the boy on the side: "Actually...... It's not good at all. ”

What she didn't say was that she preferred the other.

Fortune operator.

All of them are engraved.

Tao Nuanyu realized that he originally wanted to calculate without a trace, but as a result, he was not only seen through, but also ...... Actually, it's not necessary at all.

Completely self-defeating.

A little annoyed, glaring at the boy in front of him, Tao Nuanyu followed: "In this case, Su Hang, you give me another 10%...... No, 1%, that's fine, how? ”

Su Hang shook his head: "Sister Nuan Yu, I just finished signing, don't toss, right?" ”

Suzhou and Hangzhou really don't want to toss, not to mention, on the American side, most things must be Tao Nuanyu's final say, and there is no need to care about whether it is absolutely controlled.

Tao Nuan nodded in agreement.

The girl's idea is actually ...... Can't give!

While he was talking, a square-faced man in his thirties in a black suit walked over, raised his goblet to Tao Nuanyu, turned to a young man, and said in a somewhat strange Chinese tone: "Su Hang, I heard that you are creating another business, can you talk about it?" ”

The person who came was named Ho Chun Bin, a Singaporean Chinese.

The other party's other identity is also the liaison between a Southeast Asian Chinese businessman who invested in Mercury Capital and this side, mainly to supervise the use of that fund.

Although He Zhenbin's tone was gentle and with just the right amount of curiosity, from the very beginning of contact, Su Hang could feel the other party's contempt for him and everyone around him.

Similar to Zhuang Huan encountered during the previous New Year's Eve event.

It's probably the kind of attitude that Guo Jianglong, who thinks he has seen the world, faces a group of small fish and shrimp in a small place.

Hamoto is also too small.

At this time, in the face of the inquiry, Su Hang still shook his head as usual: "I'm sorry, Mr. He, I haven't started writing yet." ”

The idea has been continuing, and the materials are constantly being collected, but there are still too many other things, and Su Hang has not been able to find time.

The plan is to finish the final exams and start writing during the winter break.

"Oh......" He Zhenbin nodded, still asking, "You can always say some ideas, right?" Su Hang, speaking of which, I finished reading your book "Countless Passing Years" on the plane to China, which is quite good. In addition, I have learned a lot about you through some other understandings, and I am looking forward to this business as well. ”

"If I think about it, I basically want to talk about some of my thoughts on the business development in the past few years after the reform and opening of China."

He Zhenbin persevered: "What are your feelings? ”

"For example, one," Su Hang said: "I think, many domestic businessmen are too eager for quick success, often also lead to the sudden rise and decline of the enterprises they created, in recent years, there have been many similar cases, I think, if many people do not adjust their mentality, the future will definitely continue." ”

"Heh, that's a good starting point," He Zhenbin took a sip of red wine, thought about it a little, and said, "However, I think it's understandable." ”

Now it was Su Hang's turn to ask: "Mr. He, what do you say?" ”

"Because of the unstable external business environment......" He Zhenbin continued with some obvious hints on his face: "...... It is inevitable that businessmen have no intention of carrying out long-term development planning, and only want to gather wealth as soon as possible, and then ......"

Speaking of this, He Zhenbin shrugged his shoulders and looked at the young man in front of him: "Su Hang, I also know something about the incident you experienced last year, and I have also seen some reports in Western newspapers. So, have you ever wondered, like...... Immigrate to the United States? ”

Su Hang had a smile on his face, but he shook his head without thinking about it: "If it's the United States, Mr. He, I haven't thought about it." ”

He Zhenbin was very surprised: "Why? ”

"Because a superpower that has lost its temperance is easy to prosper and decline," Su Hang said: "Frankly speaking, in my opinion, the United States is an upstart, which has escaped two world wars by luck, dragged down its biggest competitor, and then thinks that it will always become the master of the world, under this mentality...... Mr. Ho, if it were a person, what do you think he would do next? ”

He Zhenbin thought for a while, and did not answer directly, but said, "Su Hang, what do you think...... I don't think it's true, you know, the United States is not a 'person', but a country, a country that is superior in every way. ”

When Su Hang heard what the other party said, he didn't respond directly, but was a little curious: "I remember the introduction before, Mr. He, are you a Singaporean?" ”

"Yes," He Zhenbin nodded, his expression flashing with some pride, and then added: "However, I am seeking to immigrate to the United States." According to an old Chinese saying, people go to high places. ”

Su Hang nodded slightly.

The conversation didn't continue.

The two sides obviously disagreed on some fundamental points, and He Zhenbin could still feel that a certain teenager had reservations about him, but he had no intention of delving into it. After all, for a young man who grew up in a small place, although he came up with a business plan that made the money behind him exciting, and there were many other talents, it was still difficult for him to look down on the other party.

Moreover, judging from the teenager's attitude towards a certain country on the other side of the ocean, He Zhenbin also felt that this was a little naïve little guy, this kind of person, in the future, reality would educate him.

Of course, Su and Hangzhou didn't mean to say more.

The two sides are not familiar with each other, and the valuable experience of the two worlds is not justified in casually talking about each other.

Waiting for He Zhenbin to leave, Tao Nuanyu continued the topic just now: "Su Hang, are you ...... Don't you really think immigrating to the U.S. is a good choice? ”

Su Hang knew that Tao Nuanyu was also seeking a green card in the United States, nodded when he heard this, thought about it, and said with a smile: "Sister Nuanyu, if you are in the United States, I really don't recommend it, maybe it ......" He Zhenbin, who was walking towards Tao Bingli and others, gestured, and continued: "If you really want to immigrate, Singapore is a good choice." ”

Tao Nuanyu also asked: "Why?" ”

"This is back to just now," Su Hang said: "A nouveau riche who has suddenly reached the top, and has lost the biggest opponent who has restrained him, then, next, he will start to do all kinds of things, bad things, stupid things, bad things...... And, there is a high probability that in a very short period of time, you will squander your accumulation. Once squandered, it's hard to say what will happen afterward. ”

Veronica Perry and Chai Xi happened to come over, and when they heard Su Hang's words, before Tao Nuanyu could say anything, Chai Xi had already said, "Su Hang, how can you have this prejudice?" ”

Veronica Perry, who is taller than most of the men and women at the scene, also said with Chinese: "Su Hang, I used to like you very much, but I didn't expect you to be so ...... Well...... Shallow, perhaps, you should take the time to visit my country, I'm sure you will be surprised. ”

Su Hang didn't mean to argue with the two guests, and when he saw that they were all saying this, he nodded his head: "Maybe, if I have time, I will definitely go and have a look." ”

Tao Nuanci didn't like her boyfriend being squeezed by the other two women, but Su Hang said so, so she didn't speak.

Let alone...... For some questions, the girl didn't know how to help, so she helped change the topic: "Sister, when are you going back?" ”

"Tomorrow," Tao Nuanyu was still thinking about the young man's words just now, and when he heard the words, he added: "Time is very tight, I have to go with Charles in the afternoon to see Jiangdong Electronics' research and development of VCD, Suzhou and Hangzhou, you also want to be together?" ”

Charles is Ho Chun-bin's English name.

Su Hang nodded: "Of course." ”

Tao Nuanyu glanced at the two female companions again, hesitated slightly, and asked another thing: "Su Hang, I heard from my mother that you are still planning to acquire a pharmaceutical factory, over there in Huaiqing?" ”

Su Hang did not deny it: "It's almost negotiated, and besides, it's not me, it's still everyone." ”

"Although I haven't seen the specific information," Tao Nuanyu said, "However, I have to say that your investment is compared to my father's fertilizer factory...... The direction is quite right. ”

Su Hang was speechless for a while when he heard Tao Nuanyu say this.

Tao Nuanci also opened his mouth.

's own sister, praising her boyfriend...... She was very happy to be ...... By the way, I picked up my father...... When you are a daughter, you can't be too attached.

Tao Nuanci continued: "However, Suzhou and Hangzhou, I also learned that this company only produces some Chinese patent medicines related to traditional Chinese medicine, which is not good." In the pharmaceutical industry, if you want to make a profit, you still have to develop Western medicine. Well...... Let's take a look, let's do a good job of the project in hand first. In the future, if appropriate...... I'm in the U.S. and I can help with that. ”

It is common sense that Chinese medicine does not make money without Western medicine.

Of course Su Hang understands.

However, listening to Tao Nuanyu say this, Su Hang also realized that the other party's knowledge was still limited.

After chatting so much, the lunchtime party ended quickly.

In the afternoon, he accompanied Tao Nuanyu and others to the R&D center of Jiangdong Electronics, checked in detail and discussed the follow-up plan, and Tao Nuanyu and his party left in a hurry the next day.

On the U.S. side, the buying of Scottber shares is already underway.

Although the recent 'comeback' VCD project has been exposed by the media, and even the popularity of VCD as an electronic product has also increased significantly, the matter has not been transmitted for the time being, and Scooper's stock price is still in a relatively stable state.

As a result, the $21 million received by Mercury Capital is expected to buy about 13% of Scober's shares.

Although it is less than 16% of Sequoia Capital, the largest shareholder, as long as the purchase is completed, it will be more than enough to enter the board of directors of the other party with this share.

Further, after showing the plan here, Su Hang believed that Scober would do his best to cooperate.

After all, Scooper is not exclusive.

If the other party is unwilling, Su Hang does not have another plan, and Su Hang's plan to Scottber can almost help the other party basically monopolize the next VCD market.

Meanwhile.

The acquisition of pharmaceutical factories has also entered a new stage in a new week.

The relevant financial and personnel aspects were negotiated, and Suzhou and Hangzhou officially bought the company.

The conditions have not changed much from the results of the previous negotiations, with a capital of 3 million yuan, plus a debt of more than 300 yuan.

In terms of personnel, the core management of the pharmaceutical factory is basically taken over by Huaiqing City, so it avoids possible troubles in the management of Suzhou and Hangzhou, and next, the operation of the pharmaceutical factory can be carried out with confidence.

Moreover, inspired by the newly established Mercury Capital, Su Hang also realized one thing.

You can't always use your own name to invest in various companies.

It's so eye-catching.

Therefore, in the process of buying a pharmaceutical factory, Suzhou and Hangzhou registered a shell company in Heyuan, named 'Heyuan Forest Holdings Co., Ltd.'.

Forest......

Of course, it still means 'you can't make a forest alone'.

However, Su Hang did not show this meaning too obviously, just the word 'forest', unless people who know Su and Hangzhou very well, otherwise, it is unlikely that they want to guess the deeper meaning.

And, another advantage of using this name is that it's very, very ordinary.

Forest Holdings......

It's a name on the street, and it's a lot worse than the word 'Hongkang' in the pharmaceutical factory.

So it won't be too noticeable.

Now that there is this empty shell, it has been determined not to mention for the time being, and 70% of the shares of the machinery company project that has just been established in Shangdu are also placed under Forest Holdings.

As a result, the acquisition was completed, and under the name of Suzhou and Hangzhou, it is equivalent to owning eight companies.

'Forest Holdings' in China, 'Mercury Capital' in foreign countries.

Then, there is a chain of industrial companies.

'San River Distillery' involving liquor.

'Shin-chan glass' involving glass.

'Rongda Real Estate' involving real estate.

and, the last three, 'Jiangdong Electronics', 'Hancheng Machinery' and 'Hongkang Pharmaceutical'.
