"How's it going? Brother, the person I introduced is not bad, right?"

They sent Fu Jixun off together, and Chen Hong began to "acquire credit" for Lin Fan.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, brother Chen Hong."

Lin Fan put his arms around this good brother's shoulders, with a smile on his face.

Some people are born to eat this bowl of rice.

Lin Fan discovered that Chen Hong had not been back to China for a few years, but his connections were incredibly extensive.

"How about you open a headhunting company?"

Chen Hong glanced at Lin Fan, "Tch, that's you, if it were someone else, do you think I would be so interested in you?"

After that, Chen Hong started talking to himself again.

“To do a good job in our small intermediary business, we must have bosses, professional managers, bosses and executives in the investment circle, as well as legal, accounting, consulting, etc., and we must know only a few of the best in each industry.

I have no choice but to live under pressure. If I don’t go out shamelessly and get to know more people, I won’t be able to get along at all!”

Lin Fan smiled. This kind of virtue is undoubtedly the virtue of the old Versailles.

"I may have to trouble you a little bit next, brother."

Chen Hong was stunned at first, then said with a smile: "Then it's up to you, I'll open a headhunting company."

Lin Fan knew that the other party was joking, so he stopped being polite and started making demands directly.

"A person in charge of a VC fund, a person in charge of a PE fund, and someone who is familiar with the rules of the entertainment and film industry. If you can help me, we will be the last three people."

Chen Hong was puzzled, "I know about the PE fund. Bailu Fund's US$500 million should be managed by someone.

But why are you recruiting another VC fund manager? Your first domestic fund has just been established, why are you recruiting so many people?

If there are more people, it will cost more and it will easily cause Fu Jixun's displeasure.

In fact, it is enough to have Lao Fu alone, and a man who can be caught by Baidu will not be capable?

Take my advice, just him alone will be fine for now.

Didn’t Lao Fu say it yet? Just bring over the team led by Defengjie and start work in minutes."

Lin Fan nodded, "I know, it's not for Lin Capital, it's for Axel China's fund manager."

"Why are you recruiting Axel?"

Lin Fan briefly explained and said that he wanted to invest a sum of money in Axel's China Fund.

So Chen Hong stopped asking and readily agreed.

Then he asked: "What about the entertainment industry? Are you planning to invest in movies? Then why don't you introduce some female stars to my brother?"

Lin Fan looked at the unformed Chen Hong, who was winking at him, so he had no choice but to explain about the copyright fund.

After listening to it, Chen Hong didn't really understand it, but he also knew that there was no such thing as copyright these days.

After some persuasion, Lin Fan still insisted on setting up a copyright fund.

Chen Hong didn't bother to persuade him anymore. If you have money, you should be willful.

…………

…………

Without letting Lin Fan wait for two days, Chen Hong led the candidate to the Bund Hotel.

"This is Mr. Tong Shijie, who is now in charge of the business in China of BVP Beauchamp Investment in Silicon Valley.

Speaking of which, you are both alumni of Stanford, and Lao Tong graduated from Stanford with a bachelor's degree in industrial engineering."

As soon as he entered the room, Chen Hong began to introduce the tall and burly Tong Shijie next to him.

Tong Shijie wears glasses and has oily hair. He is about thirty years old and dressed casually. He wears a long-sleeved striped shirt tucked into jeans, a typical American style.

In fact, he is from Taiwan, a descendant of a Kuomintang officer, and immigrated to the United States at the age of 13.

He has a very impressive resume. After graduating from Stanford, he founded two Internet companies in Hong Kong and Singapore, both of which were acquired by large companies.

After becoming financially free, I went to MIT and Harvard to study for a period of time and studied for two master's degrees.

After that, he worked at Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, and Asia Kunzhong Private Equity.

Currently serves as the China chief representative of Beauchamp Venture Capital.

Beauchamp Ventures is well-known in the United States, and it also participated in Skip’s Series A investment.

But in the Chinese market, the other party only set up a small office, and Tong Shijie was not a managing partner or managing director, but a weird-looking "chief representative in China."

In fact, this kind of position only exists among foreign investors who do not pay attention to the Chinese market.

Therefore, Chen Hong was a bit embarrassed to mention the other person's position when making introductions.

Lin Fan walked forward with a smile and shook hands with Tong Shijie, who was about the same height as him, "Hello, Mr. Tong!"

"Hello, Mr. Lin!"

Tong Shijie doesn't have a Wanwan accent, and his Mandarin is very standard.

While talking, he also looked at Lin Fan.

As a Chinese-American, he knew very well about Lin Fan's deeds, so when Chen Hong contacted him, he accepted the call without any hesitation.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the three of them sat down on the sofa and started chatting over tea and coffee.

"Axel plans to set up a VC fund in China with a scale of US$100 million, no exit period, and no restrictions on investment fields..."

In the industry, Tong Shijie is not well-known yet. Although his resume is impressive, no one in the investment circle is a bad student.

Therefore, Lin Fan stopped going around in circles with the other party and directly reported the situation of the fund.

Tong Shijie's eyes lit up when he heard this. Isn't this the stage he longed for? This trip was the right one.

Boshang Venture Capital does not pay attention to the Chinese market. Since taking office at the beginning of the year, he has recommended many projects to the US headquarters. As a result, it was almost the end of the year and two projects were approved - Blog China and Hongcheng Education.

He only invested in two projects in one year, and when he met friends in the industry, he was a little embarrassed.

But Lin Fan just spent 100 million US dollars when he came up, and he didn't have so many rules.

The most important thing is that Axel is also a well-known institution with an easy-to-use brand.

"I have a question, Mr. Lin, what is your relationship with Axel?"

Lin Fan knew that the other party would inquire about this, so he did not hide it and told him everything about the agreement he had made with Breyer.

Tong Shijie asked: "Like Sequoia America and Sequoia China?"

Lin Fan nodded, "Yes, the difference is that Axel China has a lot more freedom in investment, which is very important."

Tong Shijie understood and asked again: "What if we have a conflict with Lin Capital?"

"First of all, we will maintain communication, and any conflicts can be resolved in advance..."

Lin Fan also attached great importance to the "Vest" and began to tell Tong Shijie about his various arrangements.

He also didn't expect that Chen Hong would actually find Tong Shijie for him.

Although this person is not well-known now, he is a good investor. In the future, he will join Qiming Venture Partners and GGV Investment, and will invest in many mobile Internet star projects such as Xiaomi, Xiaohongshu, and Musical.ly.

The most awesome thing is that he also took Chinese funds to the United States to invest in many good projects, such as the American version of Pinduoduo Wish.

Because Tong Shijie is not very famous at the moment, and he is not doing well in the investment circle.

Therefore, after Lin Fan provided excellent conditions such as managing director of Axel China, fund partner, and 10% institutional profit sharing, Tong Shijie happily agreed to join.

The whole conversation took less than an hour, which was efficient and fast.

Then, Lin Fan contacted Breyer on the spot, who was in the United States, and said on the phone that the team had been selected and would be sent to the United States to meet them on a certain day.

Breyer and Lin Fan had already reached a consensus and naturally had no objections. They also said that they would do a good job in reception and signing of contracts, etc.

Seeing Lin Fan contacting the American team so quickly, Tong Shijie was stunned for a long time. Could it be a bit hasty?

Before he could recover, Tong Shijie left in confusion with the news that he had passed the interview.

Shortly after seeing Tong Shijie off, Chen Hong received a call and went downstairs.

After a while, Chen Hong led a middle-aged man in his early forties into Lin Fan's office.

"This is Mr. Zhang Zhao, currently the art director of Enlight Media."

After Chen Hong finished his introduction, Zhang Zhao smiled and stretched out his hand to Lin Fan, "Hello, Mr. Xia!"

Lin Fan was stunned for a moment. Was he forcing himself to go to Lao Jia and never return?

"Go back to China next week", stealing Lao Jia's golden words;

"Online video + mobile phone + electric vehicle" robbed Lao Jia of his "ecological counterattack";

Now I also met Zhang Zhao, the former CEO of LeTV Pictures.

Lin Fan felt that he was afraid that he would have to kill Lao Jia!

However, Lao Jia’s concept is not bad, otherwise he would not have become the first person in China to raise money through PPT.
