"Distinguished guest?!"

Now there are not many people who can be called distinguished guests in Ye Fang's eyes, let alone knowing that he will not get more than one slap in the face tonight.

When Ye Fang returned to the inner courtyard, he saw a figure sitting in the pavilion. When he looked closely, it turned out to be Xiang Guo. No wonder he knew the news of his return to Beijing in advance.

"Mr. Ye, you have been a very busy person recently."

"I wanted to rest, but someone wouldn't let me."

The two hadn't seen each other for more than half a year. Ye Fang stepped forward and shook Xiang Guo's hand, then sat under the pavilion.

Miyagi brought tea to the two of them, and then quietly left.

"Is something wrong?" The two sat down, without much greeting, and Ye Fang went straight to the topic.

"How do you know I have something to do with you?" Xiang Guo asked with a smile.

"I think I haven't leaked any sensitive national information, so if you don't have something particularly difficult to handle based on your status, you won't come to me. Am I right?" Ye Fang asked.

Xiang Guo didn't answer and just nodded, which was regarded as acquiescence.

"This matter is half public and half private, and it is quite sensitive." It took Xiang Guohao a long time to say a word.

"Brother Xiang, if you have anything to say, just say it. If I can help, I will definitely help." Ye Fang said.

"Okay, here's what happened..." Then Xiang Guo told Ye Fang the purpose of looking for him today.

The four "national honor" brothers Xiang Jia have been working in the special front. Ye Fang has already met three of them, Xiang Guo, Xiang Jia and Xiang Yu. The scope of their job responsibilities is basically to command and manage in the country, and among them Xiang Guo, Xiang Jia and Xiang Yu. Rong Que is a field worker. This field worker Ye Fang knows very well what the scope of work is.

Xiang Rong was sent on a mission some time ago, and everything was going smoothly. However, for some unknown reason, all communications were suddenly interrupted on the [-]th of last month, and all relevant personnel lost contact. Xiang Guo analyzed that it might be because there was a problem with Xiang Rong, but it was difficult to determine what the specific problem was.

Now Xiang Guo urgently needs someone to investigate what happened and try to rescue Xiang Rong if possible. Xiang Guo understood that the current situation was no longer suitable for him to send relevant personnel to investigate the incident. At this time, Xiang Guo thought of Ye Fang.

But since Ye Fang has been in Guangzhou in the past month, Xiang Guo could only wait quietly. When he heard that Ye Fang had returned to Beijing today, he immediately dropped everything and came to Ye Fang for help. Who would have thought that Ye Fang would be picked up by the Ye family at the airport, so he had to wait in Xiyuan until now.

"Where is he going to perform his mission?" Ye Fang asked.

Xiang Guoshen glanced at Ye Fang and wrote two words on the stone table in the pavilion.

Ye Fang saw the two words clearly, his expression changed, and he asked, "Brother Xiang, do you want me to rescue Xiang Rong?" Ye Fang was a little hesitant about this help, something that even Xiang Guo's team couldn't handle. It's child's play to leave it to yourself.

"We brothers have thought about it a lot, and you are the only one who has a suitable identity and a manpower that is not weaker than the special forces, and is suitable for carrying out this task. Of course, I know that this task is really difficult for you. After all, you have not received professional training, but it is also Because of this reason, it is not easy to arouse anyone's suspicion. As for Xiang Rong, it is best if he can be rescued. Even if he cannot be rescued, you can find out the situation and give me a feedback. I know this is an almost impossible task for you. If you really can't think of a suitable candidate for your task, I wouldn't come to you." Xiang Guo said very sincerely.

At this time, another person came out of the inner courtyard. He could come in and out at will while Xiang Guo and Ye Fang were talking. He was definitely not from Ye Fang's side, but definitely from Xiang Guo.

The person who came was none other than Xiang Guo's youngest sister, Xiang Yu. After all, the two of them had the experience of going to Ukraine to auction the Vaglian together.

Xiang Yu was not as tactful as Xiang Guo. He stood in front of Ye Fang and asked, "Can you help?"

"I...I'll think about it" This matter was really a big deal, and Ye Fang couldn't handle it for a while.

"I don't care, are you going to help or not?" Xiang Yu looked so stubborn that Xiang Guo couldn't stand it anymore. Due to his status, he couldn't force Ye Fang to help, so at this time It is most appropriate to take action against Xiang Yu.

"Auntie, I've been in Guangzhou for more than a month and I'm exhausted. My mother almost doesn't recognize me anymore. If we suddenly encounter such a big thing, can you let me think about it carefully?" Ye Fang is not afraid of Xiang Guo's words. The national situation is righteous, but the most fearful thing is Xiang Yu's stalking.

"Okay, I'll give you 10 minutes!" Xiang Yu stood in front of Ye Fang with his arms crossed, his attitude extremely determined, and he looked like he would not give up until he achieved his goal.

"10 minutes?!" Ye Fang rolled his eyes at Xiang Yu.

At this time, Xiang Yu looked at Ye Fang and suddenly stopped talking. Then Douda's tears flowed down drop by drop, and he cried and said, "Third brother is the best to me. When I was a child, he gave me all the good things to eat first. When children bullied me, it was my third brother who stood up for me. Now that his life and death are unknown, I don’t want to live anymore. Ye Fang, are you still a man if you don’t save him? You let me down so much."

Listening to Xiang Yu's words, Ye Fang shook his head helplessly, and then said, "Okay, aunt, stop talking, I agree."

"Really?! You agreed?" Xiang Yu said happily, wiping his tears.

"I promised, but I can't leave now. I need to deal with the situation in the company first, and I also need to understand the whole thing. How about leaving in a week?" Ye Fang asked.

At this time, Xiang Yu glanced at Xiang Guo, nodded and said, "Okay, I know you are busy. Then we will set off in a week. I will ask Xiang Yu to send you the relevant information. If you need any assistance, please contact Xiang directly. Reputation is enough.”

"Okay." Ye Fang agreed.

When brother and sister Xiang Guo and Xiang Yu came out of Xiyuan, Xiang Yu said, "Brother, I told you that your trick is not going to work, and I have to step in."

"Okay, you are awesome! Go back and quickly sort out the information and send it to Ye Fang. I hope the third child is fine." Xiang Guo sighed and said.

"Third brother will be fine!" Xiang Yu comforted, and then the brother and sister drove out of Xiyuan.

Although Ye Fang felt like he was being plotted against, Xiang Guo had helped him many times in the past few years. If he really refused Ye Fang sternly, he wouldn't be able to say it out loud.

"What is it like over there..." Ye Fang had only seen it in Hong Kong and Taiwan TV dramas before. This time he really wanted to go there by himself. He was really a little excited and said, "It's okay to go and see it. Just treat it as..." If you travel, after all, it will be your home in the future.”

Ye Fang forced himself not to think about what happened after the mission, returned to the bedroom and fell asleep, telling Leng Chuan not to disturb his sleep in the morning, and that he should have a good sleep.

The next morning, Ye Fang, who was still sleeping, was awakened by the noisy voices outside the door. As soon as Ye Fang saw that it was not yet nine o'clock, he called Leng Chuan in and asked, "Who is talking outside?" ? It’s so noisy.”

"Brother Ye, they are all from the group and are waiting to report their work." Leng Chuan said in a low voice.

"Let them find Xiaoling." Ye Fang said impatiently.

"Mr. Cai is also outside." Leng Chuan said directly.

"She's here too? Oh! Forget it, let me get up." After saying that, Ye Fang got up from the bed. After finishing packing, he opened the door and saw people in the courtyard. When these people saw Ye Fang appearing, they immediately bowed. "Hello, Mr. Ye!" Ye Fang took a quick look and saw that senior officials from Guizhi Investment and Jiuding Group were coming over. Bi Xingfa and Wang Junhe in the crowd waved to Ye Fang, but they were not seen inside. Gu Zhuoyi.

"What a heck, you guys have woken me up from my sweet dreams. I haven't slept in a long time." Ye Fang replied rudely.

At this time, Cai Xiaoling hurriedly stepped forward and whispered, "You haven't been back to Beijing for more than a month. Many major issues in the group are waiting for your decision."

"You can just decide on anything." Ye Fang said casually.

"My Mr. Ye, I am also a human being. Now that the group's business is getting bigger and bigger, I can decide some things, but you have to make decisions on issues involving strategic direction." Cai Xiaoling complained.

Ye Fang glanced at Cai Xiaoling, who looked tired. He also knew that she must have been under a lot of pressure during her absence in the capital. He sighed and said, "Okay, I'm not going anywhere today. I will work here on site."

Cai Xiaoling was overjoyed, and with a wave of her hand, the senior executives of Guizhi Group and Jiuding Group immediately lined up to guard the door of the study. Ye Fang was eating at his desk while listening to reports from Cai Xiaoling and other senior executives. Many previously unresolved matters were decided and signed directly by Ye Fang.

Bi Xingfa and Wang Junhe in the team couldn't help but shook their heads as they looked at the long team behind them. Who would have thought that Ye Fang could make the group so big a few years ago, although now Bi Xingfa and Wang Junhe have established their own groups, and in their hands They have great authority, but the two of them are still accustomed to listening to Ye Fang's opinions when it comes to decision-making at the overall strategic level, for fear that if they make a wrong step, they will cause irreparable losses to the company.

Bi Xingfa was soon in line. Bi Xingfa handed an industry project report to Ye Fang and said, "Mr. Ye, a lot of venture capital projects related to the Internet have come to your door recently. I asked the investment research department to seriously inspect this industry. I found that foreign countries have been booming in the past two years, and it looks good. However, many domestic experts say that this is a bubble economy, which will be burst sooner or later. I am worried that the money will be thrown in and will be wasted, so I can’t make up my mind. Cai Cai I always say that industry investment will have to wait until you come back to decide."

Ye Fang took over the industry report provided by Bi Xingfa and read it carefully. It contained forward-looking prospects for the Internet industry, but the profit model and future development were indeed unclear. Despite this, Ye Fang still agrees with some of the concepts of the Internet, but these things are a bit shocking now. For example, the concept of the Internet of Everything mentioned in the report is enough to shock the world.

The project report listed several projects to be invested by Xingfa Fund and detailed introductions. Ye Fang looked at NetEase, Tencent, and some Chinese websites. The financing amounts were relatively large, all in the millions of dollars. The above, converted into RMB, is an investment of more than [-] million yuan, so Bi Xingfa does not dare to make the decision without authorization. After all, Xingfa Fund's income is very good now, and the brand effect has been achieved. If the investment fails, it will be a major blow to the fund's reputation.

Bi Xingfa expressed his concerns, and Ye Fang agreed. He nodded and said, "Your concerns are reasonable. The concept is good, but the future is difficult to control. These Internet projects are indeed not suitable for investment by Xingfa funds. The risks are too high." "

"Mr. Ye, what do you mean we won't invest in the Internet industry?" Cai Xiaoling asked.

"It's not that you can't invest, it's just that you can't use domestic companies to invest." Ye Fang tapped his finger on the table and thought seriously, then a flash of inspiration came to Cai Xiaoling and said, "Establish a holding company in South Africa and use that company to invest. You should contact Wang Junhe for the investment process, he has handled it."

"Are we going to invest in all these projects, Mr. Ye?" Bi Xingfa asked.

"Let's all invest some money. Maybe one of the companies will start doing it." Ye Fang agreed.

"Then does Mr. Ye's holding and profit-making future count as Xingfa Fund's?" Bi Xingfa's little abacus crackled in his mind.

"You, you are so cunning!" Ye Fang said with a smile. "You don't want to take risks, and then you still care about the benefits? It's a good idea. However, when the project is stable and you can predict the future, your Xingfa Fund can enter. That Although the cost is higher, the risk will be much smaller. And no matter who invests, you will manage it on behalf of the company."

"Thank you, Mr. Ye!" Bi Xingfa received a satisfactory reply and turned around to leave. Ye Fang looked at Bi Xingfa's leaving back and shook his head with a smile.

Ye Fang never expected that this unintentional move would actually invest in an Internet giant in China and the world. Later, Cai Xiaoling and Wang Junhe followed the same pattern and acquired a company in South Africa called South African Newspaper Industry. A MIH TC venture capital company was established under the South African newspaper industry, and this company was used to complete investments in the companies on the list.

Although 80.00% of the companies eventually went bankrupt, the remaining 20.00% later became the leading Internet companies in China, making Ye Fang a world-class invisible rich man.

Ye Fang spent this day in such busy work. At three o'clock in the afternoon, the hungry Ye Fang finally closed the last document that needed to be signed. After that, Cai Xiaoling and the others left with satisfaction, leaving only Ye Fang was alone in the Xiyuan of Nuo Da and lamented that people's hearts were unhappy and things were impermanent in ancient times.

At this time, Ye Fang received a call from Ma Zhengping. Ma Zhengping, who already knew the news about Ye Fang's return to Beijing, asked directly after the call was answered, "Did you forget that you have a son and a daughter? Come over as soon as possible and let's have dinner together in the evening." .”

After Ma Zhengping finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Ye Fang sighed softly and said, "It's hard work."

After putting down the phone, Ye Fang unconsciously glanced at the room where he and Xiaozhuang once lived, and didn't speak for a long time...

"Brother Ye, the car is ready."

"Let's go!"
