Because Chen Feng has been in retreat at home, he did not accept the interview requests of major media outside, and even the re-invitation of the provincial TV station was categorically rejected by him. In this way, although his fame has been turned upside down outside, it has no impact on him personally, and he is quite a bit of a general who "let him wind in the southeast and northwest, and I will not move".

He is idle at home, in addition to grinding with red leaves and sideburns every day, he is playing music to cultivate his sentiments, but he is also very free. In his spare time, he also cares about the outside world through the Internet. This year is already 2000, the millennium, and a lot of things are about to happen, or are happening. Moreover, because of the relationship between his "butterfly", the history of this time and space is now a little different from the original.

On the Indonesian side, in particular, the new round of negotiations between the Indonesian government and separatist groups across the country, which began in September last year, finally came to fruition, and the Indonesian government initially agreed to let these areas have real "autonomy", and they resolutely disagreed to leave Indonesia, and of course did not agree to hold referendums in these areas following the example of East Timor. However, there is already a precedent for this, and how could the separatist organizations in the two major provinces of Papua and Aceh agree to the Indonesian Government's demand for "autonomy"? At the same time that the two sides were deadlocked with each other, large-scale armed rebellion broke out in various parts of Indonesia, and then the Indonesian Government had no choice but to take the initiative to ask for the continuation of the talks, and this went on until early February 2000, when the Indonesian Government had no choice but to bow its head under the internal and external troubles caused by the domestic and international pressure from all sides. The referendum demands of the two large provinces of Aceh and Papua were agreed, and it was decided to formally sign the agreement in May this year. In the case of several other relatively small regions, such as Maluku, Ilian, Riau, and other weaker separatist groups, the Indonesian government has not relented, and at least promised them the right to self-government. But despite this, the independence of the two large provinces of Aceh and Papua is undoubtedly equivalent to taking two arms of Indonesia. In particular, the blow to the prestige of the Indonesian central government has been huge. Wahid, as the current president of Indonesia, came to power early last year. He has been in office for a year, during which he put forward a series of plans to revitalize the domestic economy, but with little effect, so far the Indonesian people are still living in dire straits, and many people in the country began to express their dissatisfaction with him, especially after the Indonesian government agreed to hold a referendum on independence between Aceh and Papua, many members of the National Assembly expressed extreme indignation against him. is planning a ** case to oust him from power.

It can be said that Indonesia's domestic economy and politics are still in a mess, and there is a lack of a strong figure to come out and rectify the chaos in the country. And this qiē is obviously what Chen Feng is willing to see, especially the separatist organizations in various places are also very willing to see.

As long as these two regions are independent, then the chaebols who gave them the two major separatist organizations to carry out political investment can follow what was agreed with them at the beginning. Officially paid off. Both provinces in Indonesia are known for their rich mineral deposits, and Aceh is one of the richest provinces in Indonesia with its rich natural resources such as oil, natural gas, gold and silver mines, rubber and timber. Papua is also rich in gold and oil minerals, and is also famous for coconut, cocoa, and coffee. When he first funded the two regional separatist groups, he was instructed by Messer to connect with them. It was agreed that the mineral development rights in these areas would be used in return. So far, Chen Feng has spent less than $1 billion on the $10 billion Indonesian budget that Chen Feng handed over to Messer. As a result, this transaction will definitely not lose money, and it is very likely to make a lot of money.

After the third English version of "Harry Potter" was handed over to Cai Shuqing in November last year, it was released simultaneously worldwide on New Year's Day this year. For this long-awaited sequel, the world's major media have paid much more attention than ordinary new books, and the sales volume reached nearly 10 million copies in a month, bringing Chen Feng hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue. To date, these three books have sold a staggering 53 million copies worldwide. Compared to the original more than 3,500 volumes that Chen Feng knew in his memory. It is a miracle that there are more than 10 million copies. Compared with the domestic Chinese version since its launch. It has also sold more than 6 million copies, and has firmly occupied the first place in the domestic bestseller list. Chen Feng has also won the "Best Book of the Year Award" and "Children's Writer Award" in the United Kingdom. However, Chen Feng asked Cai Shuqing, the agent, to receive this series of land awards.

It can be said that the "Harry Potter" craze has become a social image around the world, and since the previous year, several Hollywood film companies have wanted to make "Harry Potter" Moved to the screen, contacted Cai Shuqing to discuss film copyright matters, and through guò tug-of-war round after round of negotiations, now the price of the American Time Warner newspaper is the highest, and it is also the most sincere, basically the details of the cooperation in all aspects have been finalized, in fact, the content of the cooperation is also very simple, as the author FENGCHEN can provide Time Warner film rights for free, but after Time Warner invests in filming, FENGCHEN wants 20% dividends from global box office revenue, and 30% of other advertising and commodity derivative income。 THIS CONDITION IS TOO HARSH FOR OTHER FILM COMPANIES, BUT AFTER NEARLY TWO YEARS OF TUG-OF-WAR, IN JANUARY THIS YEAR, TIME WARNER FINALLY AGREED TO THIS COOPERATION CONDITION, BECAUSE NOT ONLY FENGCHEN PERSONALLY SAW THE VAST MONEY OF "HARRY POTTER" AND WAS FULL OF CONFIDENCE IN IT, TIME WARNER'S SENIOR MANAGEMENT ALSO SAW THIS, AFTER SUCH A LONG TIME OF NEGOTIATIONS, THEY SAW THAT FENGCHEN DID NOT GIVE IN TO THIS AT ALL, AND SAW THAT THEY WERE IN FRONT OF "HARRY POTTER" THE BEST OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE MONEY IS ABOUT TO SLIP AWAY, OF COURSE THEY ARE IN A HURRY, FENGCHEN'S CONDITIONS ARE A LITTLE HARSH, BUT IT IS BETTER THAN NOT MAKING MONEY. NOW, THEY ARE ONLY WAITING FOR FENGCHEN HIMSELF TO SIGN A COOPERATION AGREEMENT WITH THEM PERSONALLY.

Although Chen Feng also attaches great importance to this cooperation, he is not in a hurry. Especially during this period of time, he has been stared at by media reporters, and it is not good for him to make any big moves, otherwise it will be very bad if he is targeted and his identity is exposed. I had to wait for a while for these media reporters to cool down their enthusiasm.

In addition to the novel, Chen Feng's Internet career is basically smooth, at this time, the Internet has not completely stopped burning money, and countless people in society are talking about this "Internet". Anyone who runs a restaurant, sells tea eggs, or even a dry cleaner is talking about the bright future of the Internet. Many experts are predicting that the world's richest man in the future will definitely come from the Internet industry. Whether in foreign or domestic countries, network technology stocks are all the way red, climbing higher and higher, and countless investors have pressed their own money on these IT companies, dreaming that they will be the next original shareholders of Microsoft and Cisco in the future.

In July of last year. China.com, a Chinese Internet company in China, was relisted on Nasdaq Clone in the United States China.com its very resounding name, becoming the first domestic Internet company to enter the US stock market and was warmly welcomed by American investors.

It traded at a cap price of $20, rose as high as $45.75 as soon as the market opened, and continued to soar sharply, rising to $66 in the middle of the market. and closed at $67, a more than two-fold increase.

According to the closing price of China.com on the first day, the market value has skyrocketed to $1.3 billion on the first day, making the major shareholders of China.com make a lot of money. The amount raised also increased from more than $58 million to $84 million.

In January this year, China.com raised $300 million by issuing new shares.

Chen Feng understood the memory in his head. In March, China.com spun off its Hong Kong.com and raised $170 million, so much so that China.com once had $560 million in cash. At its peak, its share price reached a staggering $300 per share, with a market capitalization of more than $5 billion.

However, it was doomed to a short-lived fate, and as the dot-com bubble burst, China.com's share price fell from an initial $72.81 to $1.89. By 2001, the company's revenue had fallen from $91 million to $46 million, while the number of employees had dropped sharply from 2,500 to 1,000.

Thereafter. China.com has its ups and downs in the market. until it lost to the three major portals of Wangyi, Sohu and Xinglang. A few years later, few people will still remember this once incomparably brilliant "China's No. 1 Network".

But now. People can't see the fate of China.com's destined "decline" in the future.

People now only see that after China.com was listed in the United States, it has achieved such an unexpected and great success, which has a tremendous encouraging and stimulating effect on the domestic Internet industry. It is said that "the past can be learned." When other domestic Internet companies saw that China.com had made so many dollars at once, which one of them didn't look at it? Therefore, the CEOs of the three major domestic portals of Xinglang, Sohu, and Wangyi were all gearing up to go to the NASDAQ to get a vote.

As early as last year, Zhang Chaoyang and Ding Lei had this idea. Chen Feng poured cold water on them a few more times, and even risked revealing the heavens and the earth, explaining to them the "Dutch tulip" and the "Junzilan" bubble in China a few years ago, suggesting to them that the current situation on the Internet is very similar to these two.

It's a pity that these two people are now full of thoughts about taking China.com as an example, going to the United States to make dollars, and thinking about the rapid growth of their company. As for Chen Feng, the small boss of the major shareholder, he didn't listen to much of it.

During this time, both of them were busy planning to go public on the NASDAQ, and they were bound to go all the way to the dark, and they would not stop if they didn't touch their heads.

If Chen Feng had insisted on exercising his rights as a major shareholder, he could have stopped the two from taking risks, but after all, when Chen Feng signed the cooperation agreement with them, he had said in advance that he would not interfere with their specific right to operate the company. In Chen Feng's view, this catastrophe is their destiny, and only after experiencing this catastrophe will the CEOs of the two Internet companies, the helmsmen of the domestic Internet industry in the future, truly mature. The phoenix can be reborn after bathing in fire. What's more, Chen Feng also has his little Jiujiu in his heart. This time, he is ready to make a fortune in this Internet bubble. Since, the two did not listen to persuasion. insisted on going astray, and he didn't care about expanding his stake in the two companies in the future.

This year is a harsh winter season for the entire Internet industry in the world, but for Chen Feng, it is the most important and critical year for his future economic empire. Because, this year, he plans to acquire a series of IT companies that have fallen sharply due to stock prices, such as Microsoft, Cisco, Dell, Yahoo, Oracle, etc. This year is another year of robbery by Chen Feng following the 98 financial storm.

And, this time he intends to leave Messer alone. In the second half of last year, he spent most of his spare time planning this new investment company. First of all. He had to find a suitable agent who could not be inferior to Messer. In the second half of last year, he secretly entrusted Mai Xiangdong's famous headhunting company in Hong Kong to hire the CEO of an investment company with an annual salary of two million US dollars, but until now, several candidates for the headhunting company are not very suitable in Chen Feng's opinion.

On this day, Chen Feng exchanged views on the future of the international economy with Messer on the Internet. Of course, Chen Feng did not disclose the upcoming stock market crisis of the NASDAQ in advance, but Messer himself seems to have a certain foresight of this*, and he has also seen the current pursuit and craze of Internet and technology stocks by major investors in the United States, and predicted* that if this continues, it will cause a certain period of turmoil in the stock market. However, he only thought of "turmoil", but did not expect it to be a few months later. The turmoil has had a huge impact on the U.S. stock market.

After chatting with Messer, Chen Feng wanted to call Mai Xiangdong, but Mai Xiangdong called him in advance. Let him accept some letters, which is another CEO candidate from that headhunting firm.

Chen Feng checked the candidate information sent by Mai Xiangdong in the mailbox, and it was actually a blonde and blue-eyed beauty, and the introduction was very detailed. This beauty is named Karina DiCap, with a quarter of French and English ancestry, half of Chinese ancestry, her mother is a Chinese, and interestingly, her mother's ancestral home is actually in Xiuzhou City, Donghai Province, such a complex lineage, but also created her unparalleled beauty and temperament, she is twenty-eight years old this year, graduated from the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom six years ago with a bachelor's degree in economics and management. Four years ago, he obtained a double master's degree in financial management and business administration (MBA). After that, he worked as an assistant to the CEO of 3I Ventures in the United Kingdom, and a year ago he became the manager of the investment department of Rockefeller, a well-known investment company in the United States. Although her work experience is only a short period of four years, she is undoubtedly very professional, Chen Feng suddenly became interested in her, this is not an interest in different *, but completely out of his own intuition, he feels that this blonde and blue-eyed beauty is to find a candidate for land, and hand over the second largest investment company that he has not yet established to her, and he intuitively told him that this beauty will definitely be able to carry it forward and not let Messer specialize in beauty.

Chen Feng read this beautiful woman information about Karina DiCap in detail, and after thinking about it, he called Mai Xiangdong and asked him to arrange a face-to-face interview with this beauty in Hong Kong.

Half an hour later, Mai Xiangdong replied, telling Chen Feng that this beautiful woman could come to Hong Kong on Sunday this week, that is, three days later, to be interviewed by Chen Feng's boss.

Chen Feng originally wanted not to make any big moves in the near future, but for the sake of this blonde beauty, it is very likely that he will become his right hand after Messer in the future, so he can only take a certain risk to go to Hong Kong.

Then, Chen Feng briefly explained the matter to his parents, told them that he would set up another investment company in Hong Kong, and especially emphasized to them the idea of putting aside Messer, the "richest man in the world", and this decision was immediately actively supported by Chen Dayong. Chen Dayong is very incomprehensible to Messer's crazy investment behavior in the past two years around the world, in his opinion, since his family has made so much money, it will not be able to spend it in several lifetimes, isn't it the safest to save it in the bank to eat interest? However, every time he watched hundreds of millions of dollars, billions of dollars, and tens of billions of dollars spent in the bank, he still couldn't help but feel distressed. Moreover, in the bottom of his heart, he is very worried about this foreigner, although he has to check the accounts in Hong Kong at least once a month or two, but he is still worried about it, and he is afraid that the foreigner will squander his son's "hard-earned" money. Therefore, this time, when he saw that his son wanted to leave this foreigner and go it alone, he would of course raise his hands in favor. And Zhao Xiaolan saw that the father and son agreed, of course, there was no reason to object.

Before going to Hong Kong, Chen Feng contacted Cai Shuqing by phone and asked him to arrange for someone from Time Warner to go to Hong Kong to sign a cooperation agreement with him. Cai Shuqing was very concerned about this matter, and when she heard that she could finally sign a contract with Warner, she immediately contacted them and soon received a positive answer.

On the Xiuzhou side, the father and son quickly completed the tourist visa to Hong Kong, and the father and son took a dozen bodyguards and the indispensable red leaves, and took a plane directly from Xiuzhou to Shenzhen, and then went directly to Hong Kong in Shenzhen.

In order to avoid being noticed by those media reporters, Chen Feng also disguised himself this time, and after his careful observation along the way, he didn't notice the suspect of paparazzi reporters.

After arriving in Hong Kong, the group stayed directly in the Shangri-La Hotel, Chen Feng or Chen Dayong now has a stake in this hotel, and of course they want to consume fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders.
