Rebirth

In the large lounge in the conference room, a group of people took their seats.Tasting authentic Jamaican premium Blue Mountain coffee, and many of them are already familiar with each other, the atmosphere is good.

"John, I heard that your Tianya investment is now gaining good results in Southeast Asia." After chatting for a while, Soros suddenly turned the topic to the Asian financial crisis.

"Haha..., good luck. My Chinese investment manager Shanquan Li mentioned to me before that it was dangerous in Asia, but it was a good opportunity.

Later, I heard that the global hot money headed by Mr. Soros gathered in Southeast Asia. I wondered if there was a chance. After all, your reputation is too great. I think you can eat meat and I can drink some soup."Li Feng replied modestly.

"Haha..., as far as I know, you are not a soup drinker either."

"Haha..., you passed the award, I'll just drink some soup to be satisfied." Li Feng touched his nose and said self-consciously again.

After listening to Li Feng’s dialogue with Soros, many of the people were slightly surprised. They did not expect that Li Feng would also be involved in the current financial crisis in Southeast Asia, and listening to Soros’s words, obviously, Li Feng should have made a fortune.

...

"For Asian issues, we can look for opportunities in the future and say, this time, I actually came with Frank and David.

When the two of us told me about the Asian financial crisis before, they heard about your John Lee. You also know that Carlyle Investments is engaged in private equity. Are you interested in becoming a limited partner?"

Soros heard Li Feng's words and understood that Li Feng was unwilling to talk about the financial crisis under such circumstances, so he changed the subject and brought up the situation of Carlyle's investment.

"Yes, Mr. Li, this time I took the liberty to invite you to join Carlyle and become a limited partner of Carlyle. I don't know if you would like it?" At this time, Frank Casey Road, the Carlyle CEO, also agreed. .

"I'm very curious. As soon as Carlyle's investment is still successful, it is said that your private equity fund has exceeded tens of billions of dollars. It seems that there is no shortage of me.

Secondly, you should also know that I set up an investment company myself. Although it is still incomparable with Carlyle, I don't seem to need to blend with you anymore."

"Mr. Li, you are too modest. Your Tianya investment is now well-known, but it is much stronger than our Carlyle. Now anyone in the United States does not know the reputation of the son of wealth, and I absolutely admire your investment vision, and it is precisely because In this way, we hope you can join Carlyle.

Carlyle is associated with abundant resources, whether in the US or the whole world. It is a good opportunity for both of us."David Rubinstein also explained with a smile at this time.

"Oh... I have to think about it a bit, but thank you for your invitation." Li Feng replied with a smile.

...

Li Feng understands what Frank means by saying that it is good for both parties. Obviously, Carlyle has strong political resources and can make private equity investments all over the world, which can help Li Feng further strengthen his background and attract powerful allies.

And Carlyle obviously values ​​Li Feng’s reputation in the United States and the world. Li Feng’s business vision is now something everyone knows. Look at Li Feng’s companies, which one is not developing rapidly. .

Carlyle obviously had the same mindset as it was to win Soros back then. If Li Feng successfully joins Carlyle, with Li Feng's good investment vision, it will be easier for Carlyle to go to private equity.

Wasn’t Soros like this at the time? Before Soros, each of Carlyle’s funds did not exceed 100 million U.S. dollars. When Soros joined, relying on Soros’s reputation in the fund and financial industry, raising funds It's much easier. In just three years, the scale of its funds has exceeded 10 billion.

It's normal to think about it. Li Feng's investment companies have also raised a lot of funds, and those investors still think that Li Feng's fund is too small.

Even so, the scale of the investment company’s private equity fund now exceeds 20 billion, which is even larger than Carlyle today. Why is it not because of Li Feng’s incredible rise in the past two years, that is, Li Feng’s The reputation of being super profitable.

...

Since the announcement by Forbes last year, as long as Li Feng's investment company releases private equity funds, he will soon get the funds he wants.

Even the CEOs of several giants such as Citi, Bank of America, and some behind-the-scenes shareholders called to ask whether they could expand the scale of the fund, and they were willing to let Li Feng take care of it.

For Carlyle’s invitation to invest, Li Feng had some thoughts.

First, it is to become a limited partner, and the risk is not big. Moreover, the future generation of Carlyle is so famous, it should be good to come and develop. If you participate in it, you can also make yourself profit. After all, your memory is only 10 It has only been a few 20 years. I really joined, and it is considered a diversified investment.

Secondly, by becoming a limited partner of Carlyle Investments, it can be regarded as getting online with the abundant political resources of Carlyle Investments. This is still very useful for Li Feng. He has accumulated personal wealth to a certain extent and has always wanted Keeping it pure is impossible.

Obviously, after becoming a partner of Carlyle, it is still very useful to accumulate and promote one's own contacts. After all, Carlyle Investment itself is in Washington, plus the current situation of Carlyle, has become an important cooperation of the US Department of Defense. One of the partners, obviously has a natural advantage in this regard.

"OK, Frank, David, let me consider this matter a little bit, and I will get back to you within three days." Although he agreed with the heart, Li Feng still pondered for a while, and then smiled back.

"Of course, we look forward to working with you." David Rubinstein replied with a smile.

They also understand that this is not something that can be agreed at once. Seeing Li Feng's words to consider, David and Frank have already felt a burst of joy in their hearts, obviously thinking that the possibility of success is high.

...

"Since this is the case, your business is over, then, John, how will we talk in private?" Seeing that the matter of Li Feng and Carlyle investment is basically over, Soros interjected.

"Hehe... George, just right, I also want to hear what you want to say, go to my office and talk."

"OK, guys, do it yourself, I'll have a chat with Little John." Soros smiled and got up to bid farewell to the rest of the people, and walked out of the conference room with Li Feng.

"John, how do you think the Asian side will develop next?" After taking a sip of coffee, the old fox Soros gave Li Feng a smile and asked.

"George, to be honest, I really don't know much about finance. Therefore, I am used to leaving professional matters to professional people. Look, I am not going back to Los Angeles. I will leave it to Bill and Spring Li went and did it." Li Feng replied with a resigned shrug.

"Well, Thailand changed its exchange rate policy before. A few days ago, Malaysia also gave up its decision to defend the ringgit. The rest include Singapore, the Philippines, Indonesia, etc., and the exchange rate continues to fall."

"Wait, you said that Malaysia has abandoned the fixed exchange rate and changed it to a floating exchange rate?"

"Do you know?"

Seeing Li Feng suddenly interrupting himself roughly, and listening to Li Fengniang's words, Soros couldn't help but puzzled. Is this little guy like St. John Lee really not understanding finance?

...

"Uh..., your old man went on to say..." Li Feng smiled awkwardly.
