Chapter 742 Andrew Forrest

Chapter 742 Andrew Forrester

Xu Liang was too lazy to talk to him anymore, and turned to look at the old man next to him who was wearing a dark brown suit, a bulbous nose, and gray hair.

The latter also smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Hello Mr. Xu, my name is Harry Tripov."

"Mr. Tripov, nice to meet you."

Xu Liang is also more interested in this old white man.

He was born in China, his parents were nobles who fled to China with Kolchak after the destruction of the Russian Empire.

After half a century of hard work, Meriton Real Estate founded by this old man has become one of the largest real estate companies in Australia.

He is also a big boss in the Australian business community.

"Mr. Xu, China is my second hometown, especially the Magic City, where I was born."

"China's economy is developing very fast. Mr. Tripov can take a look and walk around when he has time."

"must."

When Joyce came over with an old white man who was slightly bloated.

Xu Liang took the initiative to reach out his hand.

"Mr. Roy, it's a pleasure to meet you. The Westfield Group led by Your Excellency has always been the object of my study."

Frank Loy had a happy look on his face.

In terms of status in the global business community, although Xu Liang is young, he far surpasses him.

Both Hanhua and Hongmeng are business giants that attract global attention.

Although Xida is developing well, its current influence is limited to the Five Eyes Alliance.

It is naturally an honor to be recognized by someone more successful than yourself.

"Mr. Xu, you're welcome. Taihua Real Estate Group is developing very fast. Even if I am in Australia, I have heard of your company's name."

Frank Loy said politely.

Originally, with his status, there was no need to attend today's party, but after knowing that Xu Liang was coming, he accepted the invitation.

And I also learned about the other party’s information before coming here.

That's when it became clear.

In addition to the well-known Hanhua and Hongmeng, there is actually a commercial real estate company that is developing rapidly under each other.

And in just five years, the projects in hand have already caught up with the 40 years of development of Xitian Group.

"Taihua is still very young and needs to learn more experience in operating commercial real estate from Xitian." Xu Liang said with a smile.

"Xitian is happy to communicate with Taihua."

Joyce introduced the rest of the group.

It sounds a bit strange.

Australia has always been known for its rich resources. The world's three largest mining companies, BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto, are all in Australia. However, few of Australia's top wealthy people are now rich in mining.

"Is Mr. Xu planning to invest in Australia this time?" Royce asked.

"Of course. Australia is rich in resources and has developed commerce. It is a place that no businessman can miss. This time I plan to inspect it first to see if there are any good projects."

Xu Liang smiled.

"So how was Mr. Xu's inspection?"

"The time is still short, and we don't have any goals for the time being. If we find it, we will definitely trouble Mr. Royce."

"Haha, I'm looking forward to Mr. Xu's call."

"Mr. Xu, Hanhua has just established an office in Sydney and raised its first private equity fund. I hope that both of us can cooperate in this regard.

ANZ has many high net worth clients.

Can provide you with sufficient funds. "

ANZ Bank CEO Radenko Robin smiled.

"Thank you very much for Mr. Robin's consideration. We will definitely cooperate with you if necessary."

What a joke.

The shares of Hanhua Private Equity Fund are worth thousands of dollars. No matter how many people grab it, they can't grab it. You just want to take it away if you have a white mouth and white teeth. How can it be so cheap?

Moreover, Hanhua hedge funds and private equity rarely cooperate with institutions, and their funds are basically provided by major wealthy individuals and families.

The reason is also very simple, it can expand Hanhua's network of contacts.

He became familiar with everyone and drank a lot of wine. He apologized and went to the toilet to drain the water.

"stop."

A sharp shout interrupted Xu Liang's flow of water from the Yellow River.

Turning around subconsciously.

The bodyguard at the door stopped a middle-aged white man with a round face and small eyes.

"Mr. Xu, I am not a bad person. I have a big business to discuss with you, a big business worth at least 2 billion US dollars!"

The sound was so loud that it shook the entire bathroom.

Looking at the man who was about to be taken out by two bodyguards, Xu Liang was moved by the big deal he said.

"etc."

The two bodyguards stopped.

Xu Liang waved his hand, and the two bodyguards let go of their arms.

The man straightened the messy suit on his body and said quickly.

"Hello Mr. Xu, I am Andrew Forrester, the founder of FMG Mining Company. I must say that you are my most admired business idols, Hanhua, Hongmeng..."

Xu Liang interrupted him with a smile.

"Mr. Forrester, now I am more curious about the big project worth 2 billion US dollars in your mouth."

"Mr. Xu, should we change places? Here..."

It was really inappropriate in the bathroom, so Xu Liang took him out and found a relatively quiet corner.

"Is that okay now?"

Andrew nodded quickly and quickly took out several folded papers from his pants pocket.

"Please take a look."

Xu Liang took it and looked at it.

"Mr. Forrester, I am very interested in the project you mentioned, but today's opportunity is not suitable. We will discuss it in detail at another time."

Andrew Forrest was overjoyed and agreed.

"Mr. Xu, FMG will never let you down."

Xu Liang smiled and raised his hand to signal.

"Can I take this information with me?"

"Yes, yes."

Andrew Forrest quickly handed over a business card.

"Mr. Xu, you can call me anytime."

Xu Liang took it with a smile and returned to the banquet hall.

After staying for a while, he said goodbye and left.

On the way back, he handed the information and business card to Lu Hui.

"Investigate this Forrest and his company."

"Okay."

After saying hello to his parents, Xu Liang went upstairs to see his wife and children.

Jiang Xiaoyang was wearing thick clothes and leaning on the bed reading a book.

In the cradle next to him, the little guy was sleeping soundly with his fists clenched.

Seeing Xu Liang pushing the door in.

"Are you back?"

After nodding, he lowered his voice.

"Are you asleep?"

"Just fell asleep after drinking milk."

Walking to the cradle, looking at the little guy's quiet and cute face, Xu Liang's fatigue was swept away.

After a long time, he retracted his gaze and walked to Jiang Xiaoyang and sat down.

"How are you today? Do you feel better?"

"Much better. What about you? What did you gain from the cocktail party?"

"It's hard to say whether there is any gain, but a lot of bait has been sprinkled. It depends on whether there are any fish hooked." Xu Liang said with a smile.

"Sprinkle bait?"

"I saw that they all wanted a share of Xuanwu Australia Private Equity Fund, so I promised casually that the fund's share would give priority to Hanhua's partners.

By the way, how is the Australian office being built?"

"The staff are all in place. We have received more than 190 investment applications, about half of which are from Australia, 10% from New Zealand and Pacific Island countries, 23% from Southeast Asia, and the rest are basically from all over the world.

The funding has now exceeded US$5.5 billion."

"It seems that we are becoming more and more popular." Xu Liang said with a smile.

"We are not fools. Hanhua Private Equity has always been the best in the industry. Who doesn't want to make money looking at the white dollars?"

Under Xu Liang's leadership, although Hanhua Private Equity is not as profitable as the hedge fund department, the annual compound growth rate of Qinglong Fund, Xuanwu Fund, and Qilin Fund in China is generally above 20%.

Some even exceed 50%.

"By the way, how much share do you plan to keep in the Australian fund?"

"Originally, I planned to keep only 2 billion US dollars, but you reminded me last time when you talked to me about Tieben. The mining market is now promising and is the best investment opportunity.

So, this time we will accept all comers and make the Australian fund a private equity fund that specializes in investing in minerals and energy."

Jiang Xiaoyang smiled and rejected: "I don't agree with your opinion. The funds under Xuanwu Asia Private Equity are mainly invested in the local market, and the same is true for Australia.

If you want to invest in global mining and energy, we can raise funds through Qinglong Fund. It happens that Qinglong No. 2 Fund is also raising funds, so we can make a Qinglong Fund Phase II.

With global capital support, we can also raise funds faster."

Xu Liang nodded after a little consideration.

"You have considered it more comprehensively than I have. Let's do it this way.

Qinglong Phase II raised $30 billion."

"So much?"

"Mining and energy are both big capital industries. If you don't have enough, you can't play. And I plan to redivide the investment scope of the funds under Qinglong Fund.

The chip companies TSMC, Broadcom, and Infineon, which were originally in Fund No. 2, will all be transferred to Semiconductor Fund No. 5.

The fundraising amount of Fund No. 2 will be reduced to $10 billion.

In addition, Fund No. 10 and Fund No. 11 will be established to invest in mining and energy, respectively, with $10 billion each."

After a brief consideration, Jiang Xiaoyang shook his head.

"I have no opinion."

She never asked about investment.

"Then let's do it this way."

After this division, Qinglong Fund raised $90 billion.

It has 11 funds under it.

Fund No. 1 manages $10 billion and focuses on the Internet and IT. Oracle, Apple, Amazon, Google, etc. are all its investment targets.

Fund No. 2 manages $10 billion and invests in high-tech companies, including Samsung Electronics, Toshiba, and ASML.

Fund No. 3 manages $5 billion and invests in Huaxia concept stocks listed in the United States.

Fund No. 4 manages $7 billion and mainly invests in biotechnology and European luxury goods, including Richemont Group, Chanel, Amgen, Gilead Sciences, and Biogen Idec.

Fund No. 5 manages $10 billion and invests in semiconductors.

Fund No. 6 manages $5 billion and invests in the global telecommunications industry, mainly in the United States and Japan, and does not touch Europe.

These idiots spent too much money on a license, and now they have not recovered.
