Chapter 241: Feeling Confident and Hot Search Headlines

In an email written by Masayoshi Son of SoftBank Group to Li Xiaofan, he told Li Xiaofan that he would come to Singapore next week to attend an Asian investment-related forum and was expected to stay for three days. If Li Xiaofan was free during the period, he would like to meet and chat with Li Xiaofan.

After Li Xiaofan looked at the forum agenda attachment sent by Sun Zhengyi, he replied to Sun Zhengyi: Mr. Sun, you are very welcome. It is initially recommended that you come to our Singapore Yifan Company in the OUB Center Building of Raffles Place around 4pm next Tuesday. We will meet in the office and if you are free, we will invite you to have dinner with us.

After sending the email to Masayoshi Son, Li Xiaofan used Yahoo to search the Internet for recent news and related information about SoftBank Group and Masayoshi Son.

There was a Silicon Valley economic news comment about Masayoshi Son, the upstart investment man from Tokyo, that caught Li Xiaofan's attention.

This economic news commentator seems to know SoftBank Group and Masayoshi Son very well. Earlier in this news, he briefly reviewed the story of SoftBank Group founder Masayoshi Son in the United States.

Reports say that Son has been obsessed with American things since he was a teenager. He came to Berkeley, California, to study English at the age of 18. After a few years of hard work, he finally qualified to study economics at the University of California, Berkeley.

While studying, Sun Zhengyi dedicated a few minutes every day to think hard about new inventions and creations. When he was 20 years old, he finally designed a pocket-sized translator, and then hired several professors to create prototypes. Later, he applied for a patent for his invention and sold it to the Japanese Sharp Company for US$10,000, making his first pot of gold in his life.

When Son was 18 years old, he wrote down his 10-year plan for his life. When he was in his teens, he wanted to build his own business. In his late teens, he's on track to earn his first billion dollars...

Finally, a chance completely changed Son's destiny. Once when he was bored in Berkeley, Son was casually flipping through a science magazine. He was deeply attracted by a photo of a computer microprocessor. He imagined that if this thing could be made cheaper and more versatile, it would change the lives of everyone on the planet. So he determined to participate in the IT industry trend...

After graduating from Berkeley University in 2001, Masayoshi Son returned to Tokyo to start his own business. He quickly settled on the software distribution industry. In 2008, when he was 20 years old, Son set up his own company SoftBank with US$10,000 from the money he sold to Sharp Company's translator. By the mid-1990s, SoftBank had become the largest seller of personal computer software in Japan. It also published more than a dozen magazines to popularize computer knowledge to Japanese people and sell its products.

In 2008, SoftBank successfully listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and raised US$.\n billion.

In March 2018, SoftBank Group, which had just gone public, spent 100 million US dollars to acquire the American dex company, the world's largest computer exhibition brand.

This news report actually ended up questioning SoftBank Group's behavior. SoftBank Group's market value at the time was about 100 million U.S. dollars, and the funds raised were only 100 million U.S. dollars. However, it went crazy in financing. Two months ago, it acquired the American dex company for 100 million U.S. dollars.

According to the news, SoftBank Group recently announced that it has registered SoftBank Technology Venture Capital Company in San Jose, California, and is preparing to establish a $200 million venture fund to continue investing in or acquiring other outstanding American companies.

Recently, it has been reported that SoftBank Group is in contact with a series of computer magazines and exhibition departments under the American publishing giant Ziff&bspdavis Group, and plans to invest approximately US$100 million to acquire...

The last part of this news commentary expresses deep concern about SoftBank Group and Masayoshi Son’s crazy financing and investment behavior and SoftBank Group’s debt problem.

After reading this news, combined with some memories of reports on SoftBank and Masayoshi Son in his previous life, Li Xiaofan had a rough idea. At present, Masayoshi Son may have initially discovered the value of the Internet. At the same time, due to too crazy acquisitions and expansion, he and SoftBank Group Brings a lot of debt pressure. Son is currently continuing to use his adventurous spirit to raise funds to bet on the Internet! And Yahoo is one of the best target companies he is currently looking at.

After browsing the news reports about SoftBank and Masayoshi Son, Li Xiaofan came to the domestic fido&bsp&bsp

s forum, what surprised him was his thread about Geylang Red Light District in Singapore. After one night, there were more than a hundred discussions and threads behind it.

Fido&bsp&bsp in China at that time

Not only was the circle of the S forum very small, but there was also a very peculiar phenomenon, that is, the netizens on the forum at that time were all male.

It is said that the main factor at that time was getting into fido&bsp&bsp

The operation and use of the s forum was too troublesome. At that time, the DOS system was still used, which required professional dial-up software. Moreover, there were very few books and articles on this technology in China at that time, so few female netizens were interested in it. Later it was said that Xi'an

The s circle finally has a female netizen named he&bsp&bspbo. She is

She was very well-known in the s circle at that time, and her appearance once aroused

There was a commotion on the s, and everyone rushed to say hello and show goodwill to this rare person...

Later, with the popularity of the Internet, the popularity of female netizens was far less exaggerated and perverted than it was back then.

But now, male netizens saw that Li Xiaofan said in a post that Singapore has a legal red light district. This is not consistent with the image of Singapore, which has always been known as a neat and beautiful garden city, and aroused everyone's curiosity.

Netizens from all over the world followed Li Xiaofan's post one after another.

Peter&bsp&bspliBrother, do I need to bring my passport with me when going to Geylang? Will the Singapore police check them one by one before letting them in?

The various questions and comments on the s forum reminded Li Xiaofan of the time when they first arrived in Singapore last year and heard Ata talk about Geylang. Like the current netizens, they have countless questions in their minds.

Li Xiaofan answered several of the posts with representative questions, briefly introducing the history of Geylang and the current situation.

He finally explained in his reply that the above feelings about picking up girls in Geylang came from a "whoring" experience that was orally taught to me by a former Malaysian workmate and roommate. It is not my real experience. The above is just for you guys. For reference.

Within a few minutes after Li Xiaofan’s reply was posted, his reply was followed by dozens of other posts.
