As early as last year, Messer planned to shift its investment to the high-tech and energy sectors, which was also agreed by Chen Feng.

Although it was delayed for some time because of the events in Indonesia, it did not have to be done by Messer himself, so it did not have much impact on his investment plan. He first started with Russia's oil fields, because at that time affected by the financial crisis, Russia's already not very good economic situation is even worse, so it is understandable that Messer will focus on Russia's oil fields, he first set up a joint venture with British Petroleum to form a Sakhalin energy company, of which FENGSAI invested 2.6 billion US dollars to hold 39% of the shares, and obtained the right to exploit Russia's Sakhalin oil fields. Followed by

Messer went to the United States, through a series of negotiations and acquisitions, at the end of last year, successfully invested in Cisco, Oracle (Oracle), two IT companies, becoming their second largest shareholder, accounting for 12.5% and 10.6% of the two companies respectively, but FENGSAI also spent nearly $20 billion for this, at that time the market value of these two IT companies was close to the $100 billion mark. Some financial experts are cautious about how much money he spends to enter the IT industry, but there are also many people who have expressed their appreciation and admiration for his courage, and there are also many people who secretly ridicule Messer, the original financial predator, is a typical nouveau riche behavior, and predicts that it will be difficult to recover this investment in the future. But Chen Feng knew. This deal is an absolute bargain in the future. For this investment, Chen Feng did not give Messer instructions in advance, and made bets entirely on his own investment vision, so Chen Feng couldn't help but appreciate his ability even more.

In addition, it is also worth mentioning that Chen Feng spent the winter vacation in the provincial capital at the end of last year. He once asked Messer in the United States to use his father Chen Dayong to deal with a newly established Internet company - Google - in the name of his father, Chen Dayong. Make a venture investment. In the next few years, almost all the netizens in the world know about this company, but at this time it is still not too famous, their company was founded at the beginning of the same as Wangyi, from the boss to the employees There are only four people, and it is also similar to the original Microsoft entrepreneurial history, there are two founders, both are college students. And it's all the same in a garage, and its startup story is a copy of Yahoo. Just as Ferro co-founded Yahoo, Google was founded by Page and Brin, and coincidentally all four of them were students at Stanford University.

By the time Messer sent representatives to find Page and Brin in California, they had just moved the company from its garage to a regular office building and had grown its workforce to eight. When they heard that someone had taken a fancy to their company's development prospects and wanted to invest $50 million in venture capital for it, both of them were pleasantly surprised.

In March 1998. As Ph.D. students at Stanford University, they originally wanted to sell the search system they had developed as a product to a well-known search engine company at the time, and the offer was one million dollars, but the other party rejected them, thinking that their offer was too high. This made Page and Brin very angry, and it inspired a raging fighting spirit. It also made the two finally make up their minds to formally establish their own Internet company, so that there was the later famous Google.

The company only received about a million dollars in angel investment at the beginning, and the lack of funds has severely restricted Google's further development. This time, when the two heard that there was a big donor willing to invest 50 million US dollars for them, they really had the feeling of "dozing off and sending pillows", of course, they all raised their hands to warmly welcome.

At the time, Google had 500,000 searches per day and was already making a name for itself in the industry, but before the end of 1998. No one has yet discovered its huge market value in the future. The same is true of Messer as a prominent investor. Although he had an unimaginable trust in his boss after the Asian financial crisis, he didn't quite understand that the boss would invest $50 million in this "small company" of only eight people. And the bottom line is set at 60% in terms of the proportion of shares, doesn't this mean that this small IT company, which has been established for less than a year, has a market value of more than 100 million US dollars? But obviously this is not in line with the laws of the market. However, Messer also believes in Chen Feng's vision, seeing that he insists on taking a stake in this small company, he can't help but have a strong interest in Google, through guò investigation, although he is subject to the professional and the times, the prospects for the future development of the Internet are not very clear, but because of the experience of the past, this time he decided to follow the pace of the boss, and after Chen Feng's consent, he also invested 10 million US dollars in his personal name, of course, this is all in the form of commission. Otherwise, if others know that the well-known financial predators and international investors have taken a fancy to this small company, they may be moved by the wind and there will be a matter of sitting on the ground and raising prices.

After a few days of negotiations between the negotiators and the two founders of Google, the two sides agreed that one of the principals, Chen Dayong, would invest $50 million, which would account for 65 percent of Google's shares. Messer invested $10 million, accounting for 13 percent of Google's shares, in addition to Page and Brin each accounted for 9%, and the remaining 4% was shared by the first batch of small investors, and stipulated that Page and Brin have specific management rights of the company, and the shareholders' meeting did not have the right to fire the two without heavy mistakes and losses.

After the agreement was reached, Messer passed it to the boss as soon as possible, and Chen Feng asked lawyer Mai Xiangdong to go to the United States with his father's authorization, go through a series of procedures on behalf of his father, and officially became the largest shareholder of Google.

Messer personally attended the signing ceremony for Page and Brin, and it was only then that Page and Bryn knew that they had invested $10 million in "Holman . Messer "is the famous one" Holman . Messer is not a duplicate name, Messer just spent nearly $20 billion to become the majority shareholder of Cisco and Oracle, two IT giants, and it is difficult not to get familiar with them? Now that such a legendary figure as him actually invested in their company, and was still standing in front of the two of them, they were of course shocked.

After the signing ceremony, the two of them were only in their twenties after all, and they rushed to take a photo with Messer like a star chaser, and asked for Messer's autograph.

Messer knew that his little boss valued these two people very much, so he also met their requirements one by one, and encouraged them very much, which boosted their morale and gave them endless confidence in the future development of the company.

At the beginning of the year, after completing this largest investment project in Chen Feng's opinion, Messer set his sights on the banking industry, and the first choice was Goldman Sachs Group and Morgan Stanley, two top financial services companies on Wall Street, but these two are not ordinary companies.

Chen Feng asked him not to force it, about these two famous investment banks, Chen Feng had heard of them in his previous life, but their specific development in the future is not clear, therefore, Chen Feng's confidence in investing in these two companies is not very sufficient, in Chen Feng's original history of time and space, there was a global financial crisis, he remembered very clearly, at that time, many Wall Street banks in the news or restructuring or have collapsed, I don't know if there are these two, if there is, even if it is invested now, but in the next few years, It is also necessary to withdraw appropriately before the financial crisis hits.

But Messer seems to have a soft spot for these two companies, and is still reluctant to rub shoulders with them, and Chen Feng can only be left to him.

Chen Feng still trusts Messer's investment ability, but Chen Feng also understands the truth that "eggs should not be put in the same basket", and is already planning to find another more full-time financial housekeeper, intending to let Messer manage FENGSAI full-time, so that the excess money he puts in the bank can be circulated. However, it was only a plan, and now that Messer was doing a good job and being faithful to himself, he couldn't dampen his enthusiasm too much*.

It makes Chen Feng feel a little regretful now, he is still a minor, otherwise, he can spend that money as he wants. Go to the Pacific Ocean to buy an island, buy a luxury yacht, buy a helicopter, buy a famous car...... It's like a typical miser now, but guarding that lot of money is okay to save and low-key.

And his parents, who have suffered since childhood, now have so much money in the family, but they don't know how to spend it, and they don't dare to squander it. Like Chen Dayong is the boss of the two group companies, but his car is still the Poussin that picks up Chen Feng and Hongye to and from school every day, but he changed to a new one two years ago, and sometimes he often rubs the company's Mazda business car, and compared with the company's vice president Zhang Chongxi is a lot more beautiful, as early as a few years ago he bought a Poussin, the year before was changed to Audi, it is said that he will change to a Mercedes-Benz this year. It's not that others haven't persuaded Chen Dayong to change to a better car, but Chen Dayong said that he was nostalgic and still sat in Poussin. Chen Feng knew that the reason why his father didn't change the car, in addition to being a little nostalgic, was that he was afraid of waste and pragmatism. Mother Zhao Xiaolan is the same, Chen Feng was afraid that she would work hard to let her hire a maid or part-time worker to do housework, but she rejected her, and also received a training, saying that he was tired of eating his mother's food? Chen Feng dared to say yes, hurriedly denied it, and sincerely said that her mother's cooking would not be tired of eating for the rest of her life, so she let her get angry. As a result, Zhao Xiaolan still happily mops the floor, washes clothes for her son and husband, and cooks vegetables every day. This is rich and doesn't know how to enjoy happiness, which makes Chen Feng admire and a little depressed at the same time. Fortunately, both parents are happy, the father is busy with his own career, and the mother is also busy being a competent wife and mother. And that's with them.
