    Not long after Li Chaoren returned, Xiao Qi got into an ordinary Lexus car. After wandering around the city for a while, he entered the underground parking lot of a five-star hotel.

    Because they knew about Xiao Qi's arrival, and the Peninsula Hotel, with Xiao Qi's consent, announced that Xiao Qi and a group of executives from Fairy Company had booked half of the first floor, there were people everywhere around the Peninsula Hotel.  Paparazzi reporter.

    What¡¯s more, this time they got the news that the legendary Xiao Qi¡¯s woman, Cha Yu Shanshan, the beautiful vice president of Fairy Guard Company, will also arrive in Hong Kong in person to preside over the listing ceremony of Fairy Guard Company.

    Yu Shanshan has rarely appeared in public in the past year or so. According to rumors, she was pregnant with Xiao Qi's child and then retreated to the background. I didn't expect that she was preparing to come to Hong Kong in such a high-profile manner. Isn't this right?  Does it fully explain the importance Xiao Qi attaches to Fairy Guard Company?

    Because of this, reporters in Hong Kong have been asking about flights from Chengdu in the past two days to see when Yu Shanshan will arrive.

    Now Fairy Guard Company¡¯s road show is almost over, and shareholders¡¯ 10% shares have been initially determined. According to this situation, Fairy Guard Company will be listed grandly around the Spring Festival at most.

    Hong Kong people have experienced the wealth feast of the last Meitu sharing listing, and this time they are gearing up, vowing to grab more shares of Fairy Guardian and make a fortune.

    They have heard that Xiao Qi took out 30% of the outstanding shares this time, which is more than sharing beautiful pictures!

    More shares represent more opportunities to make a fortune, so they pay more attention to the trends of Fairy Company. It is no wonder that reporters are so active, because any news related to the listing of Fairy Guardian will receive attention and the ratings will be higher.  high.

    Xiao Qi came to see the guests.  They are also familiar old friends.

    The obese middle-aged man with glasses gave Xiao Qi a warm hug, "Hey, Xiao Qi. I haven't congratulated you yet for successfully winning the Disney Company! It's really unbelievable. You actually bought our United States.  The pride of man!¡±

    "It will still be operated in the United States, but I have money, so I hope to buy some good things." Xiao Qi said with a smile, "Red, I also have to congratulate you, your recent weight loss seems to have some effect.  ?¡±

    "Don't mention my weight loss. I like to eat high-calorie foods, which is the enemy of weight." Hoffman shrugged.  "Hong Kong also has a lot of delicious food. I have been here two or three times, but I have never finished it. The only drawback here is that it is too narrow and not suitable for us obese people."

    Fat people generally like wider spaces and are not so adaptable to small environments.

    A fat guy like Hoffman is used to the spaciousness and sunshine in California, USA, so naturally he is not used to the environment in Hong Kong.

    "I don't like this kind of narrow and depressing place either." Xiao Qi agreed with his idea, "So I live in a spacious and quiet mountainside villa."

    He pointed at the mountains facing the window. Hoffman glanced at it and said with a smile: "I don't understand what you Chinese people think. Are three wives and four concubines really good? Although there are such people in the United States, but  After all, it is not mainstream. In your Eastern world, this seems to be as ordinary as eating and sleeping.¡±

    "This topic is a long one. Let's talk about it in detail next time I go to the United States." Xiao Qi drank a drink and said, "What good news did you bring me when you came here this time?"

    "What good news do you want? Is it that American Express wants to acquire 15% of Square at a valuation of US$5 billion? Or that Airbnb has reached a valuation of US$18 billion? Or that Uber's valuation has reached the level you sold to  Itochu Corporation's 25 billion US dollars, and it is still increasing?" Hoffman spread his hands and said, "I don't know what the meaning of this is? Are you happy enough just to hear that the valuation has increased?"

    "Of course!" Xiao Qi said with a smile, "Seeing my wealth increase. What am I unhappy about? Are you happy about losing money?"

    ¡°Of course I also like to enjoy the happiness of investment success.¡± Hoffman laughed.

    "By the way, I heard that you are planning to sell some of your shares in Airbnb. Is it true?" Xiao Qi asked again.

    "Well, I have this plan." Hoffman said.  "Daniel, the vice president of Wells Fargo Fund, is a good friend of mine. Wells Fargo Fund is very interested in Airbnb and wants to buy 2% of it. The price is 400 million U.S. dollars, which is not bad. I am going to invest 400 million U.S. dollars in my new angel fund.  Inside, help more people start their own businesses.¡±

    There was no need for Hoffman to explain to Xiao Qi, but he and Xiao Qi were good friends and business partners, so it was necessary to tell Xiao Qi.

      "When you sold the shares of the company we founded a few times ago, didn't you invest 500 million US dollars in it? Now you still need so much money?" Xiao Qi said in surprise, "How many of them were successful?"

    "There are very few, and only a few dozen are developing slowly." Hoffman said bluntly: "Most investments have lost money, but this is the current situation in Silicon Valley! Not everyone can invest with you.  Compared with your vision. Your investment in Silicon Valley has long been regarded as the "King of Investment". Compared with you, I, the "King of Networks", are nothing!"

    "What did you say?" Xiao Qi laughed, "Red, I'm just a little lucky Well, by the way, I'm very interested in your angel fund. Can I also invest some money and follow you?  "Zhan Zhanguang?"

    "You also invested money in?" Hoffman looked at him in surprise, "I don't have as good a vision as you, and I'm still losing a lot now!"

    "It doesn't matter. There are always risks in investing, but I believe in your professional vision." Xiao Qidao, "How about it? Can I hold 30% of the shares?"

    "Hey, if you are willing to invest and help me reduce my burden, of course that's good!" Hoffman nodded readily, "Okay, then 30%!"

    He is a smart man. Xiao Qi is willing to invest money, but he will not occupy more shares. This is purely to help his angel fund develop. What's wrong with this?

    ¡°Moreover, Hoffman and Xiao Qi are already old friends, and he also believes that it is impossible to harm him. Besides, he has nothing worthy of Xiao Qi¡¯s harm.

    An investment worth hundreds of millions of dollars was just negotiated by the two, but this was also a rough idea. After that, their subordinates and lawyers would need to carefully negotiate the terms of the contract before it could finally take shape.

    This is how Americans have learned the contract spirit of Europeans. No matter how good friends are, when it comes to investment, they are so serious.

    This is different from the business dealings of the Orientals. When Xiao Qi did business with Li Chaoren and Li Jianxi, it was agreed upon and there was no need to make any other contracts to bind them. This is the moral principle of the Orientals.

    For those who abide by morality and violate their promises, it will be more uncomfortable than a sentence, so this is safer than the law.

    After finishing the off-topic conversation, Hoffman also talked about the purpose of this visit, "Xiao Qi, you said last time that you should give Meitu some room to grow. Is it almost time now? Our post-reading will burn  Can we start research and development?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s it!¡±

    Xiao Qi nodded slightly.

    After Meitu shared more capital investment after its listing, in more than three months, the number of registered users has exceeded 450 million, and the number of monthly active users has also increased to 280 million. The results are getting better step by step, allowing the company's senior management and  Investors see hope for success.

    Now Wall Street¡¯s rating for beautiful photo sharing is constantly improving. In terms of user photo sharing websites, it can be said to be invincible.

    And now it¡¯s time for Xiao Qi¡¯s other photo-sharing website to appear on the internet!

    Hoffman urged Xiao Qi to start research and development a few months ago, but Xiao Qi has been waiting for the development and growth of Meitu Sharing to give it room to grow. Otherwise, Meitu Sharing will be very difficult to deal with in the face of a more powerful online self-destruction system.  It is possible to be beaten to the point of collapse.

    In the previous life, Instagram still maintained its vitality despite being chased by disappearing after reading. The reason was that it had been established for several years and had many loyal fans.

    If the two companies appeared together, there is no doubt that Instagram would have collapsed long ago.

    Seeing Xiao Qi's willingness to agree, Hoffman felt relieved and said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, I can't wait for a long time! I have already found the person I should be looking for and have been here since November.  I started paying their salaries, but there was nothing to do. They were so noisy that I couldn¡¯t rest in peace!¡±

    "Who told you to be so positive?" Xiao Qi spread his hands and said.

    "Naturally, the more prepared you are for this kind of thing, the better." Hoffman said seriously: "The team I'm looking for has the best programmers, the best aesthetic design experts, and very good designers.  Promotion experts! Once this combination is combined with the idea of ??disappearing after reading, it is guaranteed to skyrocket and create a bigger picture empire for you than sharing beautiful pictures!¡±

    Having said this, he blinked, "I know you like female celebrities, right? If a female celebrity has private photos and videos to share with friends, you, the big boss behind the scenes, can definitely take a look!"

    "Go, go, am I so intolerable?" Xiao Qi waved his hand, "Besides, you must pay attention to this matter! No matter who it is, not even us, we can't keep this in the background."??data, otherwise it will definitely cause an uproar after it is exposed!  "

    "It's not that serious. Do you think people are so stupid that they really dare to use important photos and then burn them for distribution?" Hoffman laughed, "It's just some fun photos and videos! For  We will also do the best in terms of confidentiality! Just wait, after three months, a new Internet upstart will emerge!"
