Chapter 479: Opportunities, Food and Lao Xu's Plan

In Li Xiaofan's memory, the Asian financial crisis that is coming next year will bring an opportunity amidst the crisis. It will not only bring a rare opportunity for the mainland to rise, but he can also take the opportunity to "fish in troubled waters" and become a "follower" behind Soros's "financial giants". "Zhuang Huantou" to maximize profits and lay a solid foundation for building the Huaxia Chip project and his own wealth empire.

After returning to the office, Li Xiaofan called Chen Huiyun, the company's human resources director, and asked her to immediately recruit several financial talents with experience in arbitrage fund and hedge fund management through a headhunting company. It is best to have outstanding traders with practical experience on Wall Street. The compensation for talents can be more than 50% higher than that on Wall Street.

Chen Huiyun didn't quite understand what Li Xiaofan said about "arbitrage funds" and "hedge funds," so Li Xiaofan gave her a brief explanation.

Arbitrage funds are also called "arbitrage funds". In the international financial market, when a certain currency has different exchange rates, it uses arbitrage techniques to buy low and sell high to make arbitrage in order to obtain profits...

Hedge funds, also known as "hedge funds" or "hedging funds," are a form of investment funds, meaning "risk-hedged funds." Hedge funds use various trading methods to conduct hedging, transposition, hedging, and hedging to earn huge profits...

Later, Li Xiaofan called the company's financial director Zhou Xiaoqing and asked her to take charge of a series of newly established offshore fund management companies with Pacific names in Singapore, the United States, Hong Kong, the British Virgin Islands BVI and the Cayman Islands.

After listening to Li Xiaofan's instructions, Zhou Xiaoqing looked confused: "Director Li, why do we set up so many offshore companies?"

Li Xiaofan smiled and said: "It will be used for investment in the future. The advantage of locating an offshore investment company in Hong Kong is that it is an international financial center, with efficient and developed financial services, in line with international standards, no foreign exchange controls, easy and convenient bank account opening, and geographical distance The mainland is close, transportation is convenient, business is developed, there are few taxes, and the tax rate is low. The biggest advantage of BVI and Cayman is that it can provide privacy protection for investors like us. Directors’ information is absolutely confidential, and the tax policy is more relaxed than Hong Kong. , more suitable for engaging in holding, financial and overseas fund business..."

In the afternoon, Li Xiaofan, Dr. Pan Zhanlong, Lin Muchiu and others received a visit from Avant! Pioneer Company Lao Xu who flew over from the United States at the company.

As soon as he entered Li Xiaofan's private office in the Singapore Science Park, Lao Xu, like Lin Guotai of Genting Group who visited last time, was attracted by the pleasant smell of Qinan agarwood and the elegant huanghuali furniture in Li Xiaofan's office, which was refreshing.

Lao Xu, who was tired from the Cadence infringement lawsuit and prosecutor Julius Finkelstein, sat down and smelled the faint and refreshing fragrance wafting from the small incense burner in Li Xiaofan's room. This fragrant and natural fragrance gave him an indescribable sense of smoothness.

This strange fragrance made Lao Xu take several deep breaths involuntarily, as if he couldn't get enough of it. There is an obvious sense of coolness in this fragrance. It goes straight to Baihui and makes people salivate. The clear and elegant fragrance seems to have a hint of the ethereal nature of the mountains, which makes him feel happy all of a sudden, temporarily forgetting the troubles of the lawsuit. and the fatigue of travel.

"Director Li, what kind of treasure is this? Why does it smell so good?"

"Dr. Xu, this is Qinan Agarwood. If you like it, I can give you a set of incense burners and a small box of Qinan Agarwood. It helps to ward off evil spirits, help you sleep, and calm your mind..."

"So this is Qinan, thank you so much. I have really not been sleeping well recently, and I am involved in lawsuits. How can I sleep well? I really need this baby to drive away evil spirits!" Lao Xu laughed.

After chatting about Qinan Agarwood and Huanghuali Furniture, the two briefly chatted about future cooperation between the two parties, but Lao Xu did not go into details.

Lao Xu did not mention the establishment of a joint venture project in Singapore between the two companies that Li Xiaofan was most concerned about, and seemed to be no longer in a hurry.

Li Xiaofan guessed that this was his first time coming to Singapore to inspect his company, and he might not come again until he went to mainland China to meet with Academician Ni and the heads of Beijing Integrated Circuit Design Center BIDC and Panda Systems Co., Ltd. Discuss further cooperation matters in depth.

In the evening, the dinner for Lao Xu's team was held at Singapore's most unique East Coast Jumbo Seafood Restaurant. In addition to Dr. Pan Zhanlong and Lin Muchu, Li Xiaofan called Daisha and Irene from the public relations department to accompany them.

Lao Xu was hooked on Jumbo Seafood Restaurant's signature dishes such as chili crab and black pepper crab. Coupled with the company of Daisha, Lin Muchuu, Irene and other beauties, he was in a good mood.

The sea breeze blowing from the east coast made Lao Xu seem to forget all the troubles of lawsuits and disputes.

He took a cigar handed over by Li Xiaofan and took a puff. Looking at the sea and coconut groves in the distance, Lao Xu slowly said: "It feels like I'm back to my hometown in Taiwan. Singapore is such a good place. I feel very relaxed here. I feel at ease finally returning to our Chinese world, Mr. Li, we have a lot of room for cooperation in the future..."

Li Xiaofan smiled and said: "Yes, Director Xu, although Singapore is small, it is indeed a good place. You can attack when you advance and defend when you retreat. At least in the Chinese society, successful people like you are respected everywhere and will not be ignored by those who think they are Condescending white people will not suffer the indignity of having their company raided by prosecutors and the FBI!”

"Yes, that abominable prosecutor Julius Finkelstein actually brought people to search our company in broad daylight. This is clearly discrimination, so abominable, and a great shame! Those stupid programmers at Cadence can only write 100 lines of code a day, and our founder of Avant! Pioneer works overtime day and night, writing 1,000 lines of code a day, but it becomes evidence of guilt. It's really unreasonable, it's really naked discrimination!"

Li Xiaofan's words touched Lao Xu's pain point, and he began to feel indignant.

"Mr. Xu, after all, that place is not a society dominated by us Chinese, and it is inevitable to be wronged."

After Li Xiaofan toasted Lao Xu with a glass of beer, he leaned over and whispered in his ear: "Mr. Xu, we can work together and find a way to legally transfer your and your team's assets to Singapore or other places slowly, leaving ourselves a way out..."

"Well, Mr. Li, what you said makes sense, and we really need to plan ahead."

After dinner, Li Xiaofan arranged for Lao Xu to go to the Lido Palace to relax.

It was not until the early morning that the few people returned home with great pleasure.

The next afternoon, Li Xiaofan accompanied Lao Xu and his party from Singapore Changi International Airport to Beijing.

The next morning, Academician Ni, Chairman of Beijing Panda Systems Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Lianhai Microelectronics Design Center, Professor Wang Qinsheng, President of Beijing Integrated Circuit Design Center BIDC and Beijing Panda Systems Co., Ltd., and other leaders received the visit of Lao Xu and his party from Avant! Pioneer Company, and accompanied them to inspect the domestic Panda EDA system.

When inspecting the domestic Panda EDA system, Lao Xu seemed to have discovered a new treasure trove, and said in surprise: "There is really a lot of room for cooperation between our two companies!"
