Chapter 507: Straight to the Top

Li Xiaofan suddenly found that there was a woman beside him, and this woman was Irene...

Aileen's intimate behavior shocked Li Xiaofan.

Li Xiaofan was so frightened that he quickly stood up and said: "Sister-in-law, don't, don't, this is not good!"

Eileen, who was full of alcohol, said angrily: "Afan, I am no longer your sister-in-law, and I have no relationship with Amin anymore!"

It seemed that she had sobered up a lot, and she came over from the next room when she sobered up.

Li Xiaofan shook his head and said: "No, I still can't accept it in my heart..."

"Is it because of Xinyi?"

"Um……"

"Afan, Xinyi is far away in the United States, and you two have not registered for marriage. Just think of me as one of your girlfriends before marriage. Afan, I like you!"

Eileen looked at Li Xiaofan very seriously and said, "Afan, actually I have fallen in love with you a long time ago, but unfortunately I was already married to Amin at that time. If I could turn back time, I really want to marry you!"

Facing Li Xiaofan who was at a loss what to do, Aileen began to make a bold and passionate confession.

"Afan, I won't ruin the relationship between you and Xinyi, just think of me as a very good friend of the opposite sex!"

"Eileen, you drank too much today. I, I still can't adapt..."

In Li Xiaofan's current moral concept, he can still accept Guo Hanyue and Liu Mengchen as pre-marital girlfriends. However, as a Singaporean girl with a special status like Irene, in Li Xiaofan's subconscious, she is still his "sister-in-law".

Facing Li Xiaofan who seemed a little panicked, Aileen sighed: "Afan, don't panic, why don't you just talk to me. I am a weak woman, what can I do to you..."

This night, Li Xiaofan was "surprised".

…

After work the next day, Zhou Xiaoqing and Wang Danrong came in and reported to Li Xiaofan that the originally planned Yifan No. 3 venture capital fund had temporarily encountered difficulties in raising funds due to the impact of the increasingly serious Asian financial crisis.

Originally, the Yifan No. 3 venture capital fund planned by Li Xiaofan was mainly invested in projects such as the wafer foundry "Loongson International" invested in Hong Kong Island.

The name of this "Loongson International" project was chosen by Dr. Zhang himself. According to the plan, the "Loongson International" eight-inch wafer fab on Hong Kong Island requires an investment of about one billion US dollars.

Dr. Zhang's name is a resounding gold brand in the industry. After the news of the financing of his "Loongson International" project was released, investment institutions such as Goldman Sachs in the United States, Temasek in Singapore, GIC Investment, Handing Asia Pacific, Walden International and other investment institutions expressed strong support. interest.

Li Xiaofan still controls more than 400 million US dollars in cash on hand, but these funds are currently invested in foreign exchange and stock index futures transactions in various countries. Now is the harvest season.

And next year in the summer of 1998, the most thrilling "Hong Kong Island Financial Defense War", an unprecedented financial battle, is waiting for Li Xiaofan.

Money must be spent wisely, so at present, Li Xiaofan is not willing to use too much US dollar cash. He has to wait until the summer of 1998 to fight with the national team for 300 rounds against Soros and other international speculators!

Therefore, if you can raise a venture capital fund that you control, it is a good idea. If you cannot raise it, then consider introducing investment institutions such as Goldman Sachs in the United States, Temasek in Singapore, GIC, and Handing Asia Pacific.

Because of the previous success of Yifan No. 1 and Yifan No. 2 venture capital funds, investors in Southeast Asia are very optimistic about the upcoming No. 3 venture capital fund. However, now that the Asian financial crisis has broken out, everyone is living in a state of confusion. He is in a state where it is difficult to protect himself. He is very cautious in investing abroad. Even if he has money, he still keeps it to guard against risks.

However, the partners who originally invested in Yifan No. 1 and Yifan No. 2 venture capital funds are very grateful to have invested in the investment. Because Li Xiaofan’s investment projects are basically all in the United States, and they are all very successful.

In this Asian financial crisis that has never happened in a century, these investments in the United States were not affected at all, and because of the devaluation of their own currencies, they became the biggest beneficiaries!

Despite this, the intensifying financial crisis has made everyone start to be conservative.

"Director Li, why don't you find Mr. Sun from SoftBank and ask him to participate in investing in our Yifan No. 3 venture capital fund?" Wang Danrong suggested.

"Forget it, Mr. Sun is very generous when he makes a move. At present, he is too busy to fill the debt holes of his own acquisitions. How can he invest in our fund?"

Wang Danrong's suggestion was rejected by Li Xiaofan.

"Which landowner in Asia still has food surplus at the moment?" Li Xiaofan began to think.

He was looking at the sky outside the window in a trance. When he turned his gaze away and saw the set of tin stationery produced by Royal Selangor of Malaysia on his desk, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Yes! The one with the least money in Southeast Asia right now should be the owner of Genting Forest! "

This exquisite set of pewter stationery produced by Royal Selangor of Malaysia was given to Li Xiaofan by Lin Guotai of Genting Group last time when he visited. It is a customized souvenir from Genting Group.

Royal Selangor was founded in Kuala Lumpur in 1885 by a Cantonese Chinese man named Yang Kun and his wife. The company is said to have more than 600 famous craftsmen and is known as the largest tinware processing factory in the world.

At the beginning, Royal Selangor mainly produced incense burners and candlesticks for Chinese people. During the British colonial period, the brand expanded to beer cups, ashtrays and various tea sets. So far, it has supplied more than a thousand different tableware and gifts, including traditional beer cups, elegant tea sets, and even unique frames and various desk utensils. The products are sold to more than 20 countries including Europe and the United States.

The high-quality pewter products produced by Royal Selangor have almost become the "national gift" of Malaysia.

Wang Danrong agreed: "Yes, Mr. Li, Genting Group should not be short of money. Although there are fewer tourists, their family assets should be very rich!"

So, Li Xiaofan immediately picked up his mobile phone and called Lim Kok Thay.

These days, Lim Kok Thay is holding the group's year-end meeting at the Genting headquarters in Malaysia. On the phone, he cordially invited Li Xiaofan to visit Genting and meet up by the way.

Li Xiaofan agreed.

Two days later, Li Xiaofan took Wang Danrong and others on a journey to Genting Highlands.

It takes about five hours to drive from Singapore to Genting Highlands, which is nearly 400 kilometers.

This is the first time Li Xiaofan has come to Genting after his rebirth, and he was full of emotion on the way.

Genting Highlands is about 50 kilometers northeast of Kuala Lumpur, with an area of ​​about 4,900 hectares and an altitude of 1,800 meters. It is the most famous plateau summer resort in Southeast Asia.

The entire Genting is a huge entertainment city. In addition to casinos and huge hotels, there are also garden playgrounds, indoor gymnasiums and golf courses.

More than 30 years ago in 1963, Lim Kok Thay's father, Mr. Lim Goh Tong, received the support of Malaysia's first Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman and launched a mountain-building plan for Genting Highlands...

For Genting, Lim Goh Tong invested all the money he had earned in his previous life. From the construction in 1965 to the opening of the business in 1971, the Genting Group had only expenditures and no income for 7 years. What's more difficult is that he was once in financial difficulties because of the project, and his personal health had also been in trouble several times. When he invited a group of friends to invest in the company, they all declined, advised him to give up the plan, and even laughed at him...

When the first hotel of Genting Group was officially laid in 1969, on that historic day, Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman brought Lim Goh Tong an unexpected surprise: the Malaysian government will issue Genting the only casino license in Malaysia!

In his previous life, Li Xiaofan bought a copy of "My Autobiography" written by Mr. Lim Goh Tong on Genting.

This is an inspiring story: he started from scratch, turned difficulties into opportunities, and seized the fleeting business opportunities with vision and courage. His foresight and perseverance surprised his critics, and his strong perseverance even moved Malaysia's first Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman...
