Xi is in charge of the "LeadWise Network Group", "Campus Online Education Group" and "Lifelong Leadership Academy" series of companies in Block E of Beijing Oriental Plaza. The company's chief executive officer, Xi, is in charge of all the power of the company.
"I'm doing a lot of media interviews now, almost one a day. I hope that these articles can arouse a new generation of entrepreneurs and people who want to succeed with us to impact the Nasdaq, let them know that I am a charismatic person ......" first interview with the "Southern People Weekly" reporter, Xi Huilin will reveal his heart.
When the "charming people", "snap" sound, casually threw the business pass into the French bag in the moment, you can not help but wonder, this will be a rigorous thinking venture capitalists? Look at that bag, it's densely packed and disorganized.
She began to say some of her own words of praise: "I'm so smart," "I'm so infectious," "I'm so spiritual." ......, boast at the same time, a hand from time to time to scratch their thighs, and then scratch the arm ...... and this hand, had been called by some media, "in the United States, Wall Street for the financial management of the ' Goldfinger'".
The media has also reported that she has a set of four million dollars worth of four houses, but when she heard that the reporter wanted to set the interview there, she hesitated for a moment, "The house has just been rented out." As for the car, there is one, reportedly a Mercedes-Benz sports car that is rarely driven.
"It's so full of sprinting to market that I'm tired of it and parked it in the underground garage of another property in Jianguomen."
And then, "How long are you going to write about me?" Xi Huilin raised her eyebrows.
"Longer." The reporter replies.
"That's good, then I'm willing to go into detail." She took a bite of her sweet bagel, beaming.
Early wisdom of the girl's "living water life"
Copying Xi Huilin's history of wealth, you will be associated with the question of whether, like every Hong Kong drama in the pre-airing of a note, "plot fiction, if similar, not responsible for" and so on. Because you would question how this very colloquial businessman, who started from scratch and went on to make hundreds of millions of dollars, could have been so "flippant".
Xi Hui Lin said her destiny is born with living water, which is the result of a fortune-telling master who helped her in her early years. "Living water cannot stay in one place, it must flow everywhere."
According to her story, the flow of this "living water" should be: Xi'an - Beijing - the United States - Hong Kong - Beijing. -Hong Kong - Beijing.
Xi Huilin said she was born in Xi'an to a highly educated family. "I went to elementary school at the age of four, read Dream of the Red Chamber at the age of ten, and at the age of fourteen, I was admitted to Beijing Normal University majoring in foreign language and literature and international trade, and after graduating from the university, I worked as a lecturer in international business economics at Beijing University of Petroleum." The year was 1990.
Despite the aftermath, the Beijing Normal University school records archives in the Yao teacher, looking through all the graduates from 1988 to 1991, is not found a student surnamed "Xi", also did not find a graduate of the international trade program of the female students. But Mr. Yao also said: this happens, it is possible that the information provided by the Department is incomplete, or Xi himself changed all the information.
Heroes don't ask for sources. This does not prevent Xi Huilin in his office to put a trophy entitled "Bei Shi University people, senior Xi Huilin".
Because English is good, in college, she has been for foreign businessmen as a translator. Often in contact with foreign businessmen, she said she naturally learned trade practices. The earliest is the agent of medical equipment, next speculation in stocks, and then clothing agent, "I opened a store in Xidan, in the Baihua market, to become the largest one wholesaler ......"
Early 90's, the crazy speculation in real estate speculation is the whole mainland's economic atmosphere. "At that time, Shenzhen's real estate was so hot, mostly built by the Ministry of Public Security as well as the sons of high cadres. I'll be in Beijing as a real estate agent, selling a single to collect 2% commission, there are more than 100,000 yuan of profit to be made."
In the summer of 1993, "I flew to San Francisco, USA. Before leaving the country, in Beijing Fangzhuang for his parents to buy a house spent more than 800,000 yuan, the rest of the yuan, converted into 20,000 U.S. dollars." A month later, Xi Huilin flew from San Francisco to Chicago, and later in Chicago Polytechnic University to further study for a year, did not graduate, "I think the students inside the mind is not as good as me."
"My communication skills are very good, very young will be the equity structure set up, often and others have a meal to complete a company merger, and the general public did not have my reaction sensitive, I was 21 years old in Wall Street to break in, every day I heard there ringing bells, I will be like a racer standing on the track, full of excitement of the sprint."
As she tells it, in Chicago, she partnered with a couple of friends to start a small fund and open a financial investment firm. Some of the clients were Chinese with "special backgrounds". "In my early to mid-career ventures, I also started gardism in polarto, next to the birthplace of Silicon Valley, as well as two investment and financial firms in Los Angeles, in redwood."
"In 1995, I partnered with First Chicago Bank to form First Chicago Bank's First Option Associates in both New York and Chicago, USA, to provide asset management services to a number of private and state-owned companies in China."
This firm closed in 1997. And before that, Xi Huilin left for Hong Kong. Xi Huilin claimed to have a Hong Kong identity card. "I had earned half a million dollars before I got to Hong Kong."
From 1995 to 1997, Hong Kong's investment climate was hot. "During that period, I started speculating on stocks at 4 a.m. and houses on weekends. My capital quickly went from $500,000 to a million dollars."
Finally, "I made $10 million in Hong Kong, and a big part of that came from me doing mergers and acquisitions. That's buying in mainland projects and selling them to Hong Kong companies for shares. I buy state-owned enterprises on behalf of listed companies. Which I also contribute to."
Investing and being invested
No one can attest to this history of Xi Huilin in the United States and Hong Kong.
In 1997, Xi Huilin returned to China. According to her, after returning to China, she made a series of venture capital investments, the first of which was Palm.com. Palm network is considered to be the earliest and very successful wireless website. But this venture capital, Xi Huilin said she failed. Quite interesting is that, just now also boasted that they know a lot about the equity structure set up, often have a meal with others on the completion of a company merger, but when investing in the palm of the net, "we do not know how to calculate this cooperation model, divided into a large number of options to me, I invested in three years of hard work and tens of millions of dollars to go up."
And in fact, in the online view of the history of this hefty website, almost no record of Xi Huilin.
"I venture capital success there." For example, Zhonghewei software company, and the education website talent network, Xue Lin network.
In 1998, Xi Huilin chose to do network multimedia education. Has set up a "campus online education group", "lifelong leadership art management institute". Finally, there is a "Leadership Network Group". With the establishment of the group, Xi Huilin claimed that he invested in the U.S. investment company of 16 million U.S. dollars into all.
"The company's shareholders a **** three people, in addition to me, the other two are American venture capitalists. I manage the company from China, and my investment and the first round of venture capital is the basic capital of the company, and I put in $8 million."
"I am now busy consolidating resources and preparing to merge and acquire a hundred websites and schools."
Xi Huilin said excitedly that all the actions are to prepare for the listing. She even said with utmost confidence, "Our current business model can no longer be copied." Oriental Plaza, Block E2, from 301 to 306 all "campus online education group" territory. The company's front desk sign looks very simple old, hanging on the wall Xi and several celebrities in a forum photo.
"My company has a market capitalization of 100 million dollars." Xi Huilin insisted, "Several of our shareholders are invested according to the equity structure, but there may be a day when I will sell the company for a billion dollars."
But the campus online education group belongs to the jurisdiction of the Dongcheng District Labor Bureau of Arbitration Office of Director Yu told reporters, "This company in recent years, because of labor contracts and employee relations, frequent disputes, complaints. Such a company on the list or not and not to mention, at least the management is in urgent need of strengthening."
Xi Huilin think after the Olympics, in the Nasdaq shock listing at the same time, the Internet can also see some intriguing post: "Xi Huilin's ID card name is Xi Yuan, her experience has a lot to be debated. I have been her assistant, she is a big liar." There are also posts pointing out that Campus Online Education Group was even seized by the court at one point.
In this regard, Xi Huilin explained, "The reporter who wrote this article is someone who was fired from our company, her name is Yang Lu, and she maliciously framed me." The company was closed, then "only once", "I can swear, was caused by mishandling at the time. People from our company clashed with the people who came to investigate, and I was out of town ......"
People magazine had a conversation with her, in which she eventually expressed anger at the reporter's questions.
People Magazine: what's the response to people questioning your early experiences, such as [font]going to [font]college[/font] at 14[/font] and breaking into Wall Street at 21?
Xi Huilin: I don't need anyone else's proof, I have the whole series of photos to prove it.
People Weekly: who is Xi Yuan?
Xi Huilin: the name of a relative in my family. I was overseas at the time, and my overseas status made it inconvenient to register the company. The company was registered to her. She is invisible and does not do anything in the company.
People: What were some of the inconveniences of registering a company in an overseas capacity?
Xi Huilin: When I'm in China, I still want to keep a low profile. You know doing things in China involves a lot of energy.
People: Is that a good reason?
Xi Huilin: (huffing and puffing): I don't want to talk about it much in this session (shock listing) anyway.
Xi Huilin said on the phone, "My partners want me to keep a low profile for now, I don't want to be reported." That was the last word she left with reporters.
