Chapter 333 "Layout" And "Mother-in-Law Meets Son-in-Law"
"Director Li, if you have any requests, just say so!" Vice Chairman Jiang Changsheng said.
Li Xiaofan explained:
"Chairman Jiang, it's like this. Before Yahoo!, the American company I invested in, went public, I had been inspecting and looking for some excellent high-growth high-tech projects in the Silicon Valley area of the Bay Area. I have already reserved a number of outstanding projects. High-tech projects, these projects are very likely to be as explosive as Yahoo in the future, and they are likely to be a A dark horse. So, I came back from the United States this time and planned to set up a venture capital fund to invest in the high-tech industry. At present, the fundraising work of this venture capital fund has just begun. So, I want to discuss this with you on Saturday. At the event, while I’m sharing my experience, can you help me introduce and promote my venture capital fund?”
Vice President Jiang Changsheng said loudly: "Director Li, this is a good thing. We should support you. Just promote it!"
"Then thank you very much, President Jiang."
…
On Friday evening, Li Xiaofan hosted a banquet at Jumbo Seafood Restaurant on the East Coast and invited Mr. Tang’s family to attend. He thanked Mr. Tang and his family for their strong support in his career.
Tonight's dinner included Tang Jiaming and his wife, Tang Xinyi and her mother Fujiwara Kyoko, Ye Niya and her daughter, as well as specially invited Daisha and Huizhen.
After the game started, Mr. Tang took the lead in raising his glass and said loudly and happily: "Afan, I didn't expect that in just one year, you have achieved so much, which makes me feel ashamed. You are really a formidable young man!" Recent newspapers News reports about you and the Yahoo projects you invested in can be seen everywhere on the Internet. You have become a big celebrity in Singapore. Affan, come, let me drink tea instead of wine and toast you first!”
Li Xiaofan hurriedly stood up and raised his glass: "Uncle Tang, I don't dare to take this seriously! Without the support of you, Brother Ming, Xinyi and your whole family, I wouldn't be where I am today!"
At this time, Tang Jiaming also stood up and said: "Afan, you're welcome. Everything you have achieved now is achieved by your own hard work. We just provided some conveniences! Don't be humble. Come on, let me respect you too." One drink for you!”
Li Xiaofan said: "Brother Ming, I really appreciate your support and help in the early stages of my business last year. I should respect you first!"
"We brothers, why are you so polite?"
The three of them were polite. After Li Xiaofan finished drinking and sat down, Aileen also stood up and raised her glass to Tang Xinyi: "Xinyi, come, let us sisters also pay tribute to Afan, the new billionaire." A rich man worth US dollars!”
Tang Xinyi stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, Afan, come on, let's toast you with a drink. I wish you all the best in your career and make it to the next level!"
At this time, after hearing this, Fujiwara Kyoko, who was sitting next to Mr. Tang, quietly asked: "Old Tang, is Li Xiaofan already worth 100 million US dollars?"
Mr. Tang said softly: "Well, the Yahoo stock that Li Xiaofan invested in last year and held more than two million shares was listed on the NASDAQ in the United States a few days ago. Recently, the media in Singapore have been reporting on his investment story. In the afternoon, I heard from Xinyi Tell me, last night the closing price of Yahoo stock in the United States was above 76 US dollars. If you calculate it this way, Li Xiaofan's net worth is about 220 million US dollars, which is about 420 million Singapore dollars when converted into our new currency..."
"S$420 million? More than US$200 million, my God!"
Fujiwara Kyoko was so surprised that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear. A few days ago, she went to Tokyo to visit her father, who was ill and hospitalized. She just returned to Singapore from Tokyo last night, and she didn't know much about Li Xiaofan's recent story.
After Li Xiaofan finished his glass of wine, Aileen asked with a smile: "Afan, you have so much wealth now that you probably won't be able to spend it all in a few lifetimes. What are you going to do next?"
"Continue to invest and start a business, let money make money, and create greater wealth!" Li Xiaofan laughed.
Tang Jiaming raised his glass and said: "Brother, you are more ambitious than me. You can do it. I want to learn from you! Come, Irene and I will toast you again!"
After finishing the glass of wine, Eileen smiled and said: "Afan, don't just be busy working on your career, you also have to think about your own personal matters. My sister-in-law wants to ask you, do you have a girlfriend?"
Li Xiaofan glanced at Tang Xinyi from the corner of his eye and said with a smile: "Not yet..."
Eileen continued to ask: "Then what do you think of our Xinyi?"
After Irene finished speaking, she turned her attention to Mr. Tang and Fujiwara Kyoko to see how they would react.
After hearing this, Mr. Tang looked at Li Xiaofan and Tang Xinyi happily and laughed.
Hearing Irene's joke, Fujiwara Kyoko next to him didn't have any disgusted expression on her face, but was full of smiles.
In one year, the young man opposite her has been worth more than 200 million U.S. dollars. If he continues to develop, his net worth will catch up with Mr. Tang!
Mr. Tang is already old, but the handsome young man opposite is only in his twenties and in his prime.
Suddenly, Fujiwara Kyoko said that today's Li Xiaofan is particularly handsome and handsome, full of talent, and has a feeling like "the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at her, the more she likes him!"
This is just like Dad Ma. Before he became successful, people thought of him as a "Martian". After he becomes successful, he will look handsome no matter how handsome he is!
Li Xiaofan smiled and replied: "Xinyi is very good, beautiful and talented! It's a pity that I'm afraid that a poor boy from the mainland like me is not worthy of Xinyi..."
Tang Xinyi replied: "Mr. Li, don't be modest! You are now worth hundreds of millions, and have recently become a celebrity that major media in the United States and Singapore are competing to report. I'm afraid you don't like me?"
The three of them sang together, as if they had rehearsed. In fact, this was Li Xiaofan's "layout" in advance. He talked to Irene on the phone last night...
Mr. Tang is a smart man. In fact, as early as last year, he saw the mutual appreciation between Tang Xinyi and Li Xiaofan. However, at that time, Li Xiaofan's career was not so successful, and he didn't have much idea, so he just let it go.
Now, Mr. Tang is quite satisfied with the current Li Xiaofan.
He is handsome, worth over 100 million, has saved himself, and his daughter likes him.
In the whole of Singapore, it is hard to find such a son-in-law!
At this time, Mr. Tang glanced at Fujiwara Kyoko beside him, then fixed his eyes on Tang Xinyi and laughed:
"Afan, Xinyi, I've seen it a long time ago. Do you two like each other? If you are destined to be together, why not try to get along? Dad supports you to be together!"
"Dad!" Tang Xinyi said to Mr. Tang with a little shyness, but she was full of love in her heart.
Then, she looked at her current Fujiwara Kyoko to see how she would react.
Fujiwara Kyoko smiled and said, "Xinyi, if we are destined to be together, just like your dad said, you can get along more and more!"
At this time, Tang Jiaming stood up carelessly, raised his glass happily and said to Li Xiaofan and Tang Xinyi, "Afan, Xinyi, this is a good thing! Afan, if you become my brother-in-law in the future, then we will be even closer and stronger!"
