Chapter 570

In the big lounge in the conference room, a group of people took their seats. With authentic Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, and many of them are already familiar, the communication atmosphere is good.

"John, I heard that your Tianya investment has reaped a good harvest in Southeast Asia in Asia." After chatting for a while, Soros suddenly turned the topic to the Asian financial crisis.

"Ha ha... Good luck. My Chinese investment manager Shanquan Li mentioned to me that Asia is very dangerous, but it is a good opportunity.

Later, I heard that the global hot money led by Mr. Soros gathered in Southeast Asia. I wondered if I really had a chance. After all, your reputation is too famous. I think you can eat meat and I can have some soup. " Li Feng replied modestly.

"Ha ha... As far as I know, you are not a soup drinker."

"Hehe... You flatter me. I'll be satisfied with some soup." Li Feng touched his nose and humbled himself again.

After listening to the dialogue between Li Feng and Soros, many people were slightly surprised. Unexpectedly, Li Feng also stepped in in the raging financial crisis in Southeast Asia, and listening to Soros, it is obvious that Li Feng should have made a lot of money.

……

"With regard to the problem of Asia, we can find a chance to say that this time, in fact, I came with frank and David.

When they talked to me about the Asian financial crisis, they heard about you, John Lee. You also know that Carlyle investment is a private placement. Are you interested in being a limited partner? "

Soros heard Li Feng's words and understood that Li Feng was unwilling to talk about the financial crisis under such circumstances, so he changed the topic and put forward the situation of Carlyle's investment.

"Yes, Mr. Li, I'm here to invite you to join Carlyle and become a limited partner of Carlyle. I don't know if you want to?" At this time, Frank kasilu, Carlyle's CEO, echoed.

"I'm curious. First, Carlyle's investment is still successful. It is said that your private equity fund has exceeded US $10 billion. It seems that you don't need me.

Second, you should also know that I set up an investment company myself. Although I can't compare with Carlyle now, I don't seem to need to get involved with you again. "

"Mr. Li, you are too modest. Your Tianya investment is now famous, but it is much better than Carlyle. Now everyone in the United States doesn't know the reputation of the son of wealth. You absolutely admire your investment vision. That's why we hope you can join Carlyle.

Carlyle has abundant resources both in the United States and around the world, which is a good opportunity for both of us. " David Rubinstein explained with a smile at this time.

"Oh... I'll think about it a little, but thank you for your invitation." Li Feng replied with a smile.

……

Li Feng understands what Frank means by being good for both sides. Obviously, Carlyle has strong political resources and can make private investment all over the world, which can help Li Feng further enhance his heritage and win over strong allies.

Carlyle obviously values Li Feng's reputation in the United States and even the world. Li Feng's business vision is now well known. Look at Li Feng's companies, which are not developing rapidly.

Carlyle obviously has the same mind as trying to win over Soros. If Li Feng successfully joins Carlyle, with Li Feng's good vision in investment, it will be easier for Carlyle to private fund again.

Isn't Soros like this at the beginning? Before Soros, the scale of each fund under Carlyle did not exceed US $100 million. When Soros joined, it was much easier to raise funds with Soros's reputation in the fund and financial industry. In just three years, the scale of its funds exceeded US $10 billion.

It's normal to think about it. Li Feng's investment company has also raised a lot of funds, and those investors still think that Li Feng's fund scale is too small.

Even so, the scale of private equity funds of investment companies now exceeds 20 billion, which is even larger than Carlyle today. Why, not with Li Feng's incredible rise speed in the past two years, that is, Li Feng's reputation of being super profitable.

……

Since Forbes announced last year, as long as Li Feng's investment company released private equity funds, it will soon private equity the funds it wants.

Even the CEOs and some behind the scenes shareholders of several giants such as Citigroup and Bank of America called to ask whether they could expand the scale of the fund. They were willing to hand over the funds and let Li Feng take care of them.

For the invitation of Carlyle investment, Li Feng is a little worried.

For one thing, the risk of becoming a limited partner is not large, and Carlyle is so famous in the future. It should be good to want to develop. If you participate in it, you can also make profits. After all, your memory is only 10 to 20 years. If you really join it, it can be regarded as decentralized investment.

Second, by becoming a limited partner of Carlyle investment, it can be regarded as pulling on the line with the rich political resources in Carlyle investment, which is still very useful for Li Feng. It is impossible to maintain his personal wealth to a certain extent.

Obviously, after becoming a partner of Carlyle, it is still very useful for the accumulation and promotion of its own contacts. After all, Carlyle investment itself is in Washington. In addition, Carlyle has become one of the important partners of the U.S. Department of defense. Obviously, it has natural advantages in this regard.

"OK, frank, David, let me think about it a little. I'll reply to you in three days." Although he promised, Li Feng thought a little and then smiled back.

"Of course, we look forward to working with you." David Rubinstein replied with a smile.

They also understand that this can not be agreed at once. Seeing Li Feng's words to think about it, David and Frank have been filled with joy in their hearts. Obviously, they think that the possibility of success is very high.

……

"In that case, your business is over. Then, John, what if we talk in private?" Seeing that the investment between Li Feng and Carlyle was basically over, Soros interposed.

"Hehe... George, just in time, I also want to hear what you want to say. Go to my office."

"OK, everybody, help yourself. I'll talk to little John." Soros got up with a smile, said a little goodbye to the others, and walked out of the conference lounge with Li Feng.

"John, what do you think will happen next in Asia?" After tasting coffee, Soros, the old fox, smiled at Li Feng and then asked.

"George, to tell you the truth, I really don't know much about finance, so I'm used to leaving professional things to professional people. You see, I'm not going back to Los Angeles now. I'll leave it to bill and Shanquan Lee." Li Feng replied with a helpless shrug.

"Well, before Thailand changed its exchange rate policy, a few days ago, Malaysia also gave up its decision to defend ringgit. The rest, including Singapore, the Philippines, Indonesia and so on, the exchange rate continued to decline."

"Wait, you said Malaysia has given up the fixed exchange rate and changed to a floating exchange rate?"

"Did you know?"

Seeing Li Feng's sudden rude interruption and listening to Li fengniang's words, Soros was a little confused. Did St. John Lee really not understand finance?

……

"Er... You go on..." Li Feng smiled awkwardly.
