Chapter 405 Benefiting the Country and the People



"Mr. Ma, what you said is a bit exaggerated." Yan Yan, as the big brother in the capital circle, is naturally qualified to comment on him.

The organizer arranged the location in advance, but your kid rebelled and sang the opposite tune.

How could Yan Yan, a capital tycoon, accept this, especially since his greatest achievements in his life were achieved in the Internet industry.

When the Internet bubble burst in 2003, Shanda fell into financial difficulties and was on the verge of bankruptcy.

At that time, many investors shunned Shanda, but Yan Yan defied all opinions and insisted on investing US$40 million in Shanda.

From investment to exit, Yan Yan achieved a 16-fold return in just 20 months.

This investment became one of the most successful projects in the history of Chinese venture capital. Shanda founder Brother Tianqiao became the richest man in China, and Yan Yan also established his status in the world.

In addition to Shanda, this boss has also invested in Internet companies such as 58.com, Galaxy Network Radio, Leike.com, Mingwan E-commerce, and 263 Group. There are a lot of projects waiting to be monetized.

Ma Liang suddenly called on many investors to invest less in the Internet and more in the industry. Isn't this trying to undermine him in front of his boss?

Therefore, Yan Yan ignored the worry of relying on his old age and immediately criticized him.

Upon hearing this, Brother Ma immediately echoed: "Marlon, I'm sorry, I can't agree with your point of view.

The Internet industry, like other industries, is a very important link in the national economy.

Many IT companies do not simply make software or websites. They also contain a lot of technological content and are no less important than the real industry.

Moreover, we are also lagging behind in this field, and we need many domestic Internet and software companies to catch up.

So in terms of investment, there is no so-called bias."

Goose Factory has been under attack ever since it made the game.

And for many years, Xiao Ma has been scolded a lot for plagiarism.

He didn't want to expand the scope of attack and completely distort the direction of public opinion because of Ma Liang's nonsense.

If even the Internet is characterized as a scourge, wouldn't it be doomed?

Ma Liang listened calmly and responded calmly: "Pony, Mr. Yan, I am not denying the Internet industry.

I’m just calling on the investors here to pay more attention to industrial enterprises, especially those with technological innovation, which are more worthy of everyone’s investment.”

Perhaps he felt that what he just said was a bit too pretentious, so he had to be more rounded.

“I completely agree with Mr. Ma’s point of view!” Li Wei, the founding partner of Songhe Capital, stood up and said in support, “I have been working in industry, academia and research in China for so many years, and I have such deep feelings.

There are so many universities and research institutes and so many scientific research results, many of which have huge economic value.

However, it is because of the lack of start-up capital and the lack of capital assistance that it cannot be marketed.

To put it objectively, technological innovation projects actually require much less funding than Internet projects.

If you don't invest tens of millions of dollars in Internet projects, you won't even be able to make a splash.

But if it is a ready-made technological innovation project, it may only require a few million dollars to help the company develop and grow.

You are all veterans in the capital industry, so I don’t think I need to explain this too much.

Therefore, I very much support Mr. Ma’s point of view. As investors, we should give more support to industrial enterprises.

Even if 10% of the funds are allocated to support industry, the results will be completely different.

And this will not affect everyone's fortune, and it will even be a very stable investment portfolio that can evenly share everyone's losses in high-risk project investments."

Songhe Capital has a semi-official background and has always had close cooperation with universities.

Therefore, Li Wei naturally knows more about many emerging industries in the country, and he is the one who supports Ma Liang's views the most among everyone present.

"Haha, if you ask me to invest whatever I like, you will know whether you will lose money or not." Jiao Zhen, the president of CDH Investments, made an inexplicable joke at this moment.

As soon as the host heard this, he immediately felt that the effect of the program was coming, and hurriedly asked: "Mr. Jiao, what do you mean by this?"

"You investors must have invested in a lot of Internet projects over the years. How many of them have actually succeeded?

Especially during the years when the Internet bubble burst, I don’t need to tell you how much my hands turned yellow!

Everyone who invests knows a rule: Don’t put all your eggs in the same basket.

Anyway, everyone is casting a wide net to catch fish. If you invest in a few more industrial projects, you can have a diversified investment portfolio strategy, so why not?

For example, the investment value of Joyoung Electric, which I just invested in, in my opinion is no less than that of many Internet companies.

Maybe Jiuyang is the next Gree or Midea, no one can say for sure?" Jiao Zhen responded jokingly.

Every investor has his or her own investment preferences. Those with a strong gambling tendency prefer to invest in high-risk, high-return projects such as the Internet, while those with a small gambling tendency prefer to invest in industrial enterprises.

Jiao Zhen, the president of CDH Investments, is a relatively conservative investor.

The first time Ma Liang heard about this big boss was when he was on the Hurun Global Rich List in his previous life, where Jiao Zhen was honored with a net worth of 12.5 billion.

Because they not only invested in Joyoung Electric, but also in Shuanghui Food.

He has always been known for his prudent approach during his career, with a total of over 300 investment projects, and more than 70 companies later became listed companies.

This result will definitely kill most investors in an instant, and it relies on the word "stable".

Although not well known to the public, Jiao Zhen's achievements in investment are no worse than those of some big guys who focus on investment in the IT industry.

Therefore, this big boss came out to support us, and his weight was far greater than that of Li Wei, who was still in the struggle period.

When Yan Yan saw that it was Jiao Zhen who was speaking, his tone immediately changed: "Mr. Jiao, it's not like what you said.

Our organization also pays great attention to the physical track. If there are good projects, we can cooperate more.

Again, everyone has different investment preferences.

We old men may think more realistically and put return on investment first.

Mr. Ma is relatively young, so it is understandable that he is more enthusiastic, hahahaha."

With these words, Yan Yan not only took the blame out of himself, but also secretly mocked Ma Liang.

It was clear that they were bullying him for his young age and lack of qualifications, mocking him for being too idealistic, and even ignoring the most basic professional quality of investors in pursuing investment returns.

That seems to mean: Investment is not about making money, aren’t you talking nonsense!

How could Ma Liang endure this? He immediately retorted.

"Mr. Yan, of course it is true that return on investment comes first, but this does not conflict with investing in as many industrial companies as possible.

As Mr. Li and Mr. Jiao just said, there are also many companies in the physical track whose investment value is not bad at all.

Once a good project is invested, the returns will be considerable.

I still hold the same view that industry is the foundation of a country, and manufacturing is the foundation of a strong country.

Only in the industrial field, especially the advanced manufacturing field, if there are many high-quality companies that can go global and face global competition, we will not be easily sanctioned.

Otherwise, which boss can guarantee that the companies he invests in will not be the next target of sanctions?

Only if we in China catch up like Japan and South Korea in advanced manufacturing and master more core technologies can we have more negotiating weight and not be easily choked by others.

This is my truest thought!

You may say that I am young and energetic, or that I am too idealistic.

I always think there is a line in the Marvel hero movie "Spider-Man" that is very good: with great power comes great responsibility!

All the seniors are big names in the capital circle and hold huge energy in their hands.

Even if everyone only devotes 1% more energy to support real enterprises, China's future development will take a completely different direction.

And this does not prevent everyone from making money at all, because investing in industry and pursuing high returns on capital are not contradictory.

It can even be completely integrated!

If you don’t believe me, you can take a look at the [Dajiang UAV] I invested in. I dare say that the return on investment is no worse than any Internet project invested by the big guys.

There are countless companies like [Dajiang] in China. All you need is patience to dig them out.

If all seniors can have more preferences for investment in industry, high-tech industries and advanced manufacturing, then our industrial upgrading will no longer be an empty talk.

Japan and South Korea have come this way, so why can’t we?

Although I am a late learner, I still want to give you a slightly modified version of Mr. Jin’s famous saying: A great chivalrous person benefits the country and the people!

That’s all I have to say, and I would like to share my encouragement with you all!”

Ma Liang's words were so powerful that everyone fell into silence.

Especially the boss Yan Yan who had previously refuted him had such an old face that he could hardly stand it.

I don’t know who took the lead, but suddenly someone started applauding, followed by more and more big shots, and the warm applause soon filled the entire branch venue.
