I'm back in 1990

Chapter 450: Old Zhang's Visit

Since the paper was adopted by the authorities, based on the data model and detailed data provided in Huang Xiaochuan's paper, the authorities have organized a group of experts and scholars to conduct a study on whether Hong Kong will suffer a financial shock.

The final results showed that this was highly likely, with a probability of up to 95% according to statistical probability.

Furthermore, Huang Xiaochuan pointed out in his paper that international capital has already made its moves in Hong Kong. Based on the entire financial speculation cycle, this outbreak period is expected to be between February and September.

Adopting a "better safe than sorry" approach, the central authorities immediately summoned relevant personnel from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority and the Securities and Futures Commission to Beijing to begin organizing and preparing countermeasures.

Huang Xiaochuan's name has officially come into the spotlight, but he is currently just an unknown university teaching assistant, not even a lecturer. So even if he issued a warning about the Hong Kong financial crisis, it is not his place to participate in the Hong Kong financial defense battle. However, if this really happens, there will definitely be an explanation afterwards.

Huang Xiaochuan didn't pay much attention to this matter; his focus was currently on his two little babies.

The old folks say, "Three months to roll over, six months to sit, nine months to crawl," meaning that babies can roll over at three months old and sit up steadily at six months old.

The twins Huang Zeji and Huang Ruiying were already able to roll over. Interestingly, Huang Ruiying learned to roll over first, and then Huang Zeji followed suit after seeing his sister do it. After many attempts, he also mastered the skill.

The funny thing is, when Big Stick saw that Huang Zeji couldn't roll over, it got really anxious and rolled around on the ground several times, specifically to demonstrate how to roll over to Huang Zeji. This scene made Huang Xiaochuan and Yu Xiang burst into laughter.

However, his loyalty was commendable, so Huang Xiaochuan specially added a few big chicken legs for Da Gun, and Qingqing also benefited from it.

Before the Lunar New Year, Zhang Xiangguang came to Shanghai and met with Huang Xiaochuan. The main reason was that he had lost his money, but he also had a few other things he wanted to discuss with Huang Xiaochuan beforehand.

"Wow! Lao Zhang? Your hairstyle is so cool!"

Zhang Xiangguang's original Mediterranean hairstyle has now been transformed into a shiny bald head, which Huang Xiaochuan finds very amusing.

Zhang Xiangguang scratched his head dismissively and defended himself, "Ignorant, aren't I? I'm called 'extremely intelligent.' As the saying goes, a smart head doesn't grow hair, it's all because I'm too smart."

Huang Xiaochuan was both amused and exasperated by Zhang Xiangguang's words, shaking his head helplessly and saying, "You're like a duck; even when you're cooked, your beak is still hard."

The reason isn't complicated; it's all due to frequently staying up late and having an irregular lifestyle. Old Zhang is under immense pressure.

After receiving investment from Huang Xiaochuan, Zhang Xiangguang founded Huaxia's portal website "Soso.com" at the end of last year. He completely adopted the model of the American Yuho website, providing news webpage services, information retrieval services, and email services.

In the past two years, China's Internet development has been very rapid. With the gradual maturation of technology and the increasing penetration rate of computers in households, the number of Internet users in China has grown exponentially.

Therefore, this industry naturally attracted the attention of the investment market. The US Internet investment is booming, and now it has naturally set its sights on the rapidly developing China Internet. Zhang Xiangguang's Soso.com was fortunate to receive visits from several venture capital institutions. These venture capital institutions all had the same idea, which was to invest in Soso.com.

Zhang Xiangguang was delighted with this situation. Having studied in the United States, Zhang Xiangguang seemed to already see himself ringing the bell at Nasdaq. Therefore, he came to Huang Xiaochuan to explain his future plans.

"Xiao Chuan, the first reason I'm here is that the company only has enough money to last three months, and I'm here to ask you for more. The second reason is that I plan to bring in other investors. You should know that I created this website with the goal of going public, so heavyweight investors are an essential help for the website's listing."

Huang Xiaochuan glanced at Zhang Xiangguang and pondered for a moment.

Then he replied, "Money is no problem, and I also agree to bring in other investors. In short, I trust you, Lao Zhang, as a person."

Zhang Xiangguang was surprised that Huang Xiaochuan agreed to his suggestion so readily. He had thought that Huang Xiaochuan would have to go through a lot of trouble and might even fail, which left him momentarily speechless.

Huang Xiaochuan found Zhang Xiangguang's expression somewhat amusing and patted the table: "Hey, hey, Lao Zhang, what are you daydreaming about? Wake up!"

"Oh!" Zhang Xiangguang realized.

Huang Xiaochuan asked, "Could you please tell me which investors you plan to bring in?"

Huang Xiaochuan asked, "Could you please tell me which investors you plan to bring in?"

"Oh! I've thought about it, and I've tentatively decided on five companies: Intel, Dow Jones, Morningside Venture Capital, IDG, and Yuho. Here's why I chose these companies: Intel's involvement can not only bring funding but also technical cooperation to Soso. I really need their server technology support, which will strengthen Soso's technical infrastructure and save a lot on equipment costs."

Choosing the Dow Jones Industrial Average is paving the way for future content collaborations, such as financial news and current affairs news, which can help Soso.com gain an advantage in the portal competition.

You probably know Morningside and IDG. These two companies don't just invest money; they also provide a range of value-added services and support, which is exactly what Soso.com needs right now.

"Bringing in Yuho is because Soso.com needs its search engine patent license. As you know, most search engine patents are held by Yuho and your Changhong Investment. Using them directly saves a lot of time compared to developing them ourselves."

Huang Xiaochuan nodded. This old Zhang is indeed worthy of being a PhD from MIT. He has a good eye and does things in a methodical way. No wonder he is successful. Successful people do not get their reputations for nothing. Although luck is also involved, their own strength is undeniable.

"I have no problem with that, but the investment ratio needs to be discussed further."

Seeing Huang Xiaochuan's straightforwardness, Zhang Xiangguang naturally showed his sincerity as well: "Of course, I have considered all of these things. Don't worry, it will definitely not harm the interests of Changhong Investment. So before introducing new investors, I still need to raise some money from Changhong Investment."

Huang Xiaochuan smiled: "I understand. You can discuss the specific details with the people from Changhong Investment. I have no objections. Everything will be done according to your plan."

Seeing that the serious business had been discussed to a standstill, Huang Xiaochuan casually asked, "How's Lao Xu? Haven't seen him in a long time?"

"Old Xu? He went to Europe on a business trip. Before he left, I treated him to a farewell drink at my house. He didn't say what it was about, saying there were confidentiality rules."

After hearing Zhang Xiangguang's explanation, Huang Xiaochuan could roughly guess what Xu Zhongxian was doing in Europe.

It's highly likely he went to inspect the high-speed rail, but Huang Xiaochuan didn't voice his guess.
