My Age of Investment

One day, an uninvited guest came to Vision Capital’s Silicon Valley office.

"Jing Xing, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

The person who came was another "Jinhang" with a similar pronunciation to Xia Jingxing's name - Liu Jinhang.

The old man was in a suit and leather shoes, and his hair was meticulously combed. As soon as he entered the office, he greeted and shook hands with Xia Jingxing with a smile.

After asking the administrator to serve two cups of hot tea, Xia Jingxing sat on the sofa and chatted with Liu Jinhang.

"Mr. Liu, do not go to the Three Treasures Palace without anything, are you here for additional investment?"

The old man laughed out loud, "I would like to invest more, but I'm afraid you won't.

The Lixia Fund has been in operation for more than two years. You haven't raised the second phase of the fund. Not only do I look anxious, but the LPs I know are also anxious! "

Liu Jinhang looked at Xia Jingxing with a smile, with no hesitation in his eyes of admiration.

When he first met Xia Jingxing a few years ago, he knew that this son was definitely not in the pool, he did not expect the dragon to transform so fast and fly so high.

He has witnessed the rise of Facebook and Xia Jingxing all the way.

The other party's years of hard work are better than his lifelong struggles.

such a pity!

He wanted to introduce his daughter to Xia Jingxing, but the two of them didn't call.

Xia Jingxing said with a smile, "Don't worry about fund raising, we have to wait until we liquidate the Lixia Fund, right? The proceeds have not been handed over to the client, so why would you be embarrassed to raise the second fund."

"Hey, where did you go?"

Liu Jinhang shook his head again and again, "The performance of Lixia Fund is obvious to all. The starting scale of more than 30 million US dollars has been achieved by you to hundreds of millions of US dollars in two years.

This achievement, looking at the United States, and even the whole world, is this! "The old man gave a thumbs up.

Xia Jingxing chuckled, he really does not want to raise new funds at this stage because it is not the right time.

"Wait for next year. Next year, a new fund will be raised, and the scale is expected to be very large."

The old man suddenly became interested and asked questions, Xia Jingxing revealed a little bit, so he put it off, and it was inconvenient to talk about it for the time being.

"I'm looking for you today, not just for the fund, but also entrusted by others, I want to give you a message."

Xia Jingxing asked calmly, "Deliver the message? What kind of person can I ask you to come and deliver the message?"

"The background is very big, and the achievements far exceed me a hundred times!"

Xia Jingxing's face finally became a little moved. Liu Jinhang was a billionaire, a hundred times more than him, that is, he was a tens of billions of dollars, and he was worth more than the richest man in China.

"Don't worry, it's a good thing!"

Liu Jinhang noticed Xia Jingxing's face, and said with a smile, "Isn't Facebook going to launch a new round of financing recently? That gentleman wants me to be a middleman and introduce him to you. He is very interested in Facebook."

"Who is it?"

"Li Jiacheng!" Liu Jinhang said word by word.

Xia Jingxing was a little speechless, he thought it was the rich man on the American side, but he didn't expect it to be Li Cucumber.

"You are familiar with Li Huang... Pu?"

Xia Jingxing had no good impression of Li Cucumber, and almost called out a nickname according to his true thoughts.

Liu Jinhang didn't pay much attention to Xia Jingxing's name, shook his head and said, "I don't know well, I don't know why he came to me, maybe he doesn't know your other friends."

"Facebook's valuation is not cheap. Are they willing to touch such old money?"

Liu Jinhang smiled, "It should be willing, doesn't that Tom network have their family involved in the investment?"

Xia Jingxing nodded, "Okay, you can reply to him for me, the pre-investment valuation of US$30 billion is acceptable, let's talk."

"Okay, I'll definitely bring it to you."

…………

…………

a few days later.

A woman with short hair in her 40s and a charming woman came to the Silicon Valley office of Vision Capital with an assistant.

"Hello, I have an appointment with Mr. Xia..."

The middle-aged aunt is wearing a black professional attire, with a slender figure and a good temperament. She speaks fluent English as soon as she speaks.

After the front desk called Xia Jingxing to confirm, they brought the middle-aged woman and her assistant into Xia Jingxing's office.

"Hello, Mr. Xia!"

As soon as he entered the room, the middle-aged aunt smiled and stepped forward to shake hands with Xia Jingxing.

"Ms. Zhou, hello!"

Xia Jingxing looked at the woman in front of him and didn't use "you" because he didn't even respect Li Jiacheng, let alone his "confidante".

The woman in front of her is Zhou Kaixuan, who is also the actual trader of Victoria Harbour Investments.

To be honest, this woman is not simple. In her previous life, she invested in many well-known companies such as Facebook, Siri, and Zoom.

While Xia Jingxing was looking at Zhou Kaixuan, this woman was also looking at him.

She keenly noticed that Xia Jingxing did not use honorifics, and felt unhappy in her heart.

But she's a smart woman who doesn't show her emotions on her face at will, and still has a professional smirk.

At the same time, she was also guessing that Xia Jingxing's true intentions should be to know the energy of the man behind her, deliberately grabbing the lead, suppressing herself in momentum, which is conducive to the next negotiation.

It must be so!

Zhou Kaixuan is very sure that among the Chinese, there is no one who will not sell Mr. Li's face.

After greeting Zhou Kaixuan and her assistant to sit down, and then serving tea, Xia Jingxing and Zhou Kaixuan chatted.

"Actually, I heard Mr. Xia's name a few years ago. At that time, Facebook had just completed its Series A financing."

Zhou Kaixuan smiled, "At that time, I was thinking, a 20-year-old young man has actually achieved a valuation of hundreds of millions of dollars for the company, and it is hard to imagine his future achievements.

Sure enough, Facebook is now worth tens of billions of dollars.

Even Mr. Li privately praised Mr. Xia as a rare business genius in China.

Mr. Li laughed at himself: at the age of 20, he was still walking the streets selling plastic flowers. "

Xia Jingxing smiled politely, "Mr. Li is too modest, you can't compare with him, you can't compare."

After a few words of greetings and praise, Zhou Kaixuan believed that he had narrowed the distance between the two sides, and began to go straight to the topic.

"Mr. Xia, Facebook has been extended to Hong Kong in recent years, and the development speed is amazing.

And I myself also participated in the establishment and development of Tom.com, and I think I have a good understanding of the development of the Internet.

The fact that Victoria Harbour Investment found you is the result of my deliberation.

We already have a lot of research and understanding about Facebook, so I hope you give each other a chance to work together. "

Zhou Kaixuan looked at Xia Jingxing with a professional smile on his face.

Xia Jingxing nodded, "Okay, Ms. Zhou, tell me about your conditions."

Hearing this, Zhou Kaixuan smiled, and sure enough, the old man's name is still famous, the richest man in China, and the Chinese and Chinese people all over the world will buy it.

"We have two plans!"

Zhou Kaixuan said with a smile: "The first plan is to invest $100 million in Facebook according to the pre-investment valuation of $30 billion;

The second set of plans, according to the valuation of 20 billion US dollars, accepts Mr. Xia's transfer of 100 million US dollars, or 0.5% of the equity.

There is indeed a certain gap in valuation, but Mr. Xia, if you are in finance, you should be able to understand the difference between the two plans. "

Of course Xia Jingxing understood, the first plan would inject capital into the company, and the second plan would allow him to cash out.

"You can transfer 0.33% of the equity to you at a valuation of $30 billion."

Zhou Kaixuan shook his head and laughed, "Mr. Xia, let's not make these jokes. There are not many institutions in the world that have the strength to invest in Facebook, and even fewer can offer the condition of investing in Victoria Harbor."

"That's not necessarily the case. Some institutions have made higher offers than you."

"Who?"

Xia Jingxing laughed dumbly, "It involves business ethics, so it is inconvenient to disclose."

Zhou Kaixuan looked at Xia Jingxing's young and heroic face, and instantly felt a little disgusting.

She felt that she had already revealed the name of the old man, and even offered such good conditions, the other party was still holding on to it.

Just ask the Chinese and Chinese people all over the world today, who doesn't want to have something to do with Li Jiacheng.

Take Tom.com, for example, it was listed on the Hong Kong Growth Enterprise Market within four months of its establishment. What did it rely on? It is a credit endorsement provided by Li Jiacheng as a shareholder.

"Mr. Xia, let me just say it straight, just by Mr. Li's name, it is worth 100 million US dollars!"

"What, only one hundred million dollars?"
