After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 763 - 414: The Big Shot Values

The dinner for the four was quite pleasant. Huo Jindong was very talkative and humorous, and Tao Yaoyang and Tang Xinyi were happy to support him, so they had a lot to talk about with him.

Chen Feng seemed much more silent, but Huo Jindong initiated conversations with him several times. He first discussed film and television, including the TV series "Mountain Order," which most men don't typically watch. He provided some well-placed analysis about its popularity and even talked about the specific plot.

However, Chen Feng himself hadn't finished watching the series produced by his own company, so he couldn't engage in the conversation and just smiled and agreed, saying a few words to gloss over it.

Seeing this, Huo Jindong immediately switched the topic and began talking about some of his experiences and interesting anecdotes from studying abroad.

As the oldest person at the table, discussing experiences from studying abroad, Chen Feng and the other two were quite interested.

After all, Chen Feng and the other two didn't have such experiences.

Huo Jindong graduated from a domestic university, then applied to study abroad. Initially, he could barely gather enough money for the tuition fees, and the process of handling study abroad procedures was fraught with difficulties, nearly collapsing several times. In the end, it was because Nielu University, which admitted him, gave him a one-time scholarship of thirty thousand US Dollars, allowing him to study abroad smoothly. After he went abroad, the faculty and staff at Nielu University offered him a lot of help and warmth, which benefited him greatly.

Thus, he has always been grateful to his alma mater, Nielu University, and donated 8 million US Dollars to the university a few years ago.

Huo Jindong also expressed that he would continue to donate to Nielu University in the future, striving to become a board member of the school.

As a leading Ivy League university with worldwide influence, many prominent figures in political and business circles have come from Nielu University. The alumni network spreads globally and comprises elites from various regions.

This is undoubtedly Huo Jindong's greatest networking capital.

During this dinner, Huo Jindong was very emotional and talkative, telling Chen Feng and the others about many things, especially about his personal experiences over the years, which were very inspiring.

According to him, he grew up in an ordinary family (his parents were government employees in a third-tier city, and his grandfather was a state enterprise cadre). At first, he didn't like studying and was mischievous, almost failing the high school entrance exam by one point. Later, inspired by a senior, he buckled down and studied hard, becoming the top scorer in the college entrance exam from his hometown.

Even Chen Feng, an outsider, had to admire his language skills and appeal, making one listen with admiration and respect, evoking a sense of reverence.

Tao Yaoyang and Tang Xinyi played the role of good partners, frequently offering their amazement, applause, and admiring glances to Huo Jindong.

This naturally pleased Huo Jindong immensely, making him even more open to conversation, sharing many surprising stories that amazed Chen Feng, some of which challenged common views.

He didn't seem to be lying, giving Chen Feng a feeling of gaining knowledge.

Finally, under Tao Yaoyang's guidance and inquiry, the conversation turned to Huo Jindong's main job, which is capital investment.

"Last month, I spent nine days traveling to eight cities, getting only three to four hours of sleep a day, investigating more than a dozen companies, but in the end, none of them caught my interest.

However, here in Xiu Zhou, I didn't have to rush. I spent three days investigating a total of six companies, and I am currently optimistic about two of them. Xiu Zhou is a place of outstanding intelligents, and its policy environment is very conducive to internet entrepreneurship. There are many micro-enterprises in the tech park, and many are developing well."

Tao Yaoyang nodded and said, "Yes, many micro-enterprises in the tech park have good development momentum, but there's no guarantee how many of them can last. If investing now can bring substantial returns to investors in the future, it's hard to say how many would qualify. We can't match Mr. Huo's vision. Could you share your investment principles or how to assess if these companies are worth investing in?"

Huo Jindong laughed heartily and shook his head, saying, "Every investor has their unique investment principles, and mine may not suit you. Personally, I lean towards long-term investment, where what I invest now might not bring returns for several years or even a decade.

Another factor is looking at the people involved, like with Liu Xin from Tuan Mei. Initially, I liked his social networking site but appreciated him as a person. I invested ten million US Dollars in him, explicitly telling him I was investing in him as a person, not just his social networking site. He could use the money to try other entrepreneurial projects. Later, as expected, his social networking site didn't succeed, but Tuan Mei did. I invested a total of eighty million US Dollars in him, and eight years later, Tuan Mei successfully went public, proving my investments in him were worthwhile."

"Mr. Huo's words have been very enlightening, thank you so much," Tao Yaoyang quickly expressed his gratitude, looking at Huo Jindong with adoration and admiration.

"Mr. Huo's investment vision is truly impressive, and it's difficult for others to emulate," Tang Xinyi also looked on with admiration, even with a hint of infatuation.

Huo Jindong smiled and said, "Indeed, having an eye for people is difficult to learn. I admit there was a bit of a gamble when I invested in Liu Xin." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Tao Yaoyang flattered him, saying, "But you won the gamble."

Huo Jindong laughed heartily with a hint of pride. Tao Yaoyang and Tang Xinyi quickly laughed along.

Out of politeness, Chen Feng also smiled.

"Actually, Mr. Chen has a very keen investment eye too. A few months ago, he acquired a near-bankrupt film and television company, made a few restructuring changes, and within a few months, it was generating profits in the hundreds of millions, which is very hard for the average person to achieve."

Huo Jindong looked at Chen Feng with appreciation and a slight scrutiny.

Chen Feng smiled slightly and said, "I just happened to have good luck. At the time, 'Mountain Order' was a project we took over from that company. I thought it would be hard to release, but Tencent was interested. More importantly, I hired a good manager to handle the company, saving me a lot of trouble."

Chen Feng was being truthful. Fengmang Film and Television company was making tons of money today mainly due to his extraordinary luck and, secondly, the outstanding abilities of Lu Sijia, the general manager.

"Mr. Chen is modest. From my perspective, among those who succeed in entrepreneurship or investment, luck is indeed a factor, but they primarily rely on personal capability. Of course, you could say luck is part of that capability. I truly enjoy collaborating with people who have both luck and capability. You probably know our Jindong Venture Capital's situation well. If you're willing, we at Jindong Venture Capital would gladly welcome your financial investment."

Jindong Venture Capital is undoubtedly a private equity fund, with Huo Jindong as its founder. It's rumored that this fund manages 2 billion US Dollars for various investments.
