Chapter 1286 Private equity companies can also go public

The next day.

Yang Qingzhi, Ye Feng, and Chen Huang boarded the plane from New York to San Francisco. Wen Yueqi needed to be busy with the management of both companies, so she stayed in New York. Six hours later, the three of them arrived at the San Francisco Airport.

Li Liang was waiting at the airport early.

The difference from last time was that this time Li Liang was not so arrogant and asked for a dozen Koenigsegg supercars to come over. Instead, he drove a BMW to pick them up. Before Yang Qingzhi arrived, Li Liang already knew After learning Yang Qingzhi's identity, he also discussed it with his family. Originally, when Li Liang's father knew that Ye Feng and Yang Qingzhi were coming over, he planned to go to the banquet in person.

In the end, Li Liang's grandfather rejected his idea. The old man has been engaged in the business world for decades and has a thorough understanding of the world that ordinary people do not have. It is the friendship of the younger generation. Let the younger generation go where they want, and the elders will not. Feel free to intervene.

Li Liang's grandfather has two thoughts. The first one is that Li Liang mainly interacts with Ye Feng and Chen Huang. The friendship is also Li Liang's own. Sometimes the elders get in and interfere too much, which may not deteriorate the relationship. , making them feel too utilitarian.

The second thought is that Li Liang has to be on his own after all. It is the best thing for him to have his own connections, so that when he takes over the position in the future, a burden will be placed on his shoulders that he will no longer be able to carry. .

In the car.

Chen Huang teased Li Liang and said, "Li Liang, the money you invested in the Obsidian Fund has tripled. Do you have to thank me and your brother Feng?"

"That's for sure."

Li Liang had long known from Chen Huang's phone call that Obsidian Fund had made $5 million from its first investment of $1.5 million, which made him so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.

Although this money does not belong to him alone, the US$1.5 million, according to the investment ratio, must be at least US$2000 million for him, right?
So Li Liang now regards Ye Feng and Chen Huang as his good friends, and is full of gratitude. While driving, he said: "Brother Feng, Brother Huang, if anything happens in the future, just give me orders. I will definitely follow your lead." .”

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you've been fooled. It seems that you haven't forgotten your roots after getting nationality A." Chen Huang teased Li Liang.

Li Liang said hehe: "Of course, our ancestors' 5000 years of civilization cannot be lost."

"Don't listen to Chen Huang, he is teasing you."

Ye Feng said with a smile: "We are all friends. We make money together. Besides, you also invested money in it. This is how business is. Investment has risks. There are losses and gains. You will make a profit this time. If you lose next time, Now, do we have to apologize to you too?"

Hearing this, Li Liang said with a serious face: "That's not possible, Brother Feng. Since I have decided to invest this money with you, I am mentally prepared to lose money. I am an adult and I still have this responsibility."

Ye Feng nodded.

Although it is almost guaranteed to make money by shorting U.S. real estate subprime credit products, this is based on Ye Feng's two generations. He knew that a subprime mortgage crisis would definitely occur in the United States, but Li Liang did not know that a subprime mortgage crisis would definitely occur, so the gambling element was still very high. big.

After all, even the most talented people sometimes make mistakes in their investments.

Who can guarantee that investment will definitely make money?

No one can guarantee it, so Ye Feng thinks it's good that Li Liang can have this mentality. At least he can interact with her, and the chance of getting famous for money in the future will be lower.No matter how generous Ye Feng is, he does not want Maple Leaf Capital to suffer losses in the future, and then there will be some discordant voices within the company, such as questioning the investment or feeling resentful.

In this case, Ye Feng would rather offend the person and remove the person's shares from Maple Leaf Capital. Thinking of this, Ye Feng also felt that when he established Maple Leaf Capital in New York, he ignored a very important thing, but this matter can only I can talk to Chen Huang, Wen Yueqi, and Yang Qingzhi in private.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng looked at Li Liang: "Li Liang, I have something to tell you."

"Well, Brother Feng, you say it, I'll listen." Li Liang responded quickly.

Ye Feng said: "Obsidian Fund will cancel this fund after the current investment is completed."

"Aren't you going to continue investing?"

Li Liang was stunned for a moment. The return on investment was [-]%. He regretted not raising money from his family to invest together. If he had invested the same amount as Chen Huang and Ye Feng, he would have earned more. .

So Ye Feng said that after the investment, he would cancel the Obsidian Fund. Li Liang was full of confusion.

Ye Feng looked at Yang Qingzhi, who was sitting next to him, and said to Li Liang: "Brother Yang and we have established a new private equity company called Maple Leaf Capital. After all the money from the Obsidian Fund comes out, all our money will be transferred to Maple Leaf Capital and let Yang Let’s restart operations.”

Li Liang hesitated for a moment and glanced at Chen Huang, who was sitting in the passenger seat. Chen Huang didn't give him a wink, because Maple Leaf Capital mainly had Ye Feng and Yang Qingzhi as the core figures.

Wen Yueqi is considered the third core figure.

Although he is the fourth core figure, he doesn't have to take care of anything. He is equivalent to an investor. Without Ye Feng's relationship, with Yang Qingzhi's appeal, where would he be able to find investors?
Therefore, Chen Huang will not take care of the decision-making matters. He can just wait for the shares in his hands to appreciate in value and make money. If Ye Feng really had the idea of ​​​​inviting Li Liang into the business, he would have called Li Liang long before the company was established. .

But Ye Feng did not make this call, which means that in Ye Feng's heart, the relationship is also divided into distance and distance.

"Brother Feng, can I invest money in Maple Leaf Capital?" Seeing that Chen Huang didn't express his position or help, Li Liang had no choice but to discuss it with Ye Feng.

"It depends on what Brother Yang thinks."

Ye Feng kicked the ball to Yang Qingzhi. In fact, Ye Feng had also thought about Li Liang's problem. The Obsidian Fund was established by him, Chen Huang, Wen Yueqi, and Li Liang.

Now that he was making money, he and two other people turned around and established Maple Leaf Capital, but Li Liang was excluded. Ye Feng felt a little bit sorry.

Li Liang was also more humble this time, so Ye Feng thought about it and deliberately raised it in front of Yang Qingzhi to see what kind of attitude and thoughts Yang Qingzhi had.

When Yang Qingzhi saw that the ball had been kicked to him, he continued and said with a smile: "It's okay. You can just invest money when the time comes. Although what we do is a private equity fund management company, we can also IPO."

Li Liang asked doubtfully: "But Brother Yang, if the listing requires public investment, won't it be recognized as a public investment company under the US Investment Company Law?"
