I'm Haiquan, a music producer and also a cross-border investor. My venture into angel investing was driven by curiosity about the future and the belief that entrepreneurial investment is a hand reaching out to tomorrow, joining entrepreneurs in their thrilling "life bets" to help bring brilliant ideas to life and participate in shaping the future. Despite starting from scratch, I chose to take a chance in this new field. Over the years, I've met industry giants like Kai-Fu Lee and Bob Xu , and newcomers like Lijie Wang, who are pushing boundaries in the investment world. Lijie and I are both outliers in investment. Lijie's unique investment approach—small investments with large resources—and my background as a musician make us stand out, especially when I was starting out. When outliers meet, there's a mutual understanding. I believe that a newcomer in investment must have their own secrets to success. Mine are: maintaining humility, continuous learning, valuing resource integration, and effective time management. Meeting Lijie and becoming friends, I found these are also what drive his rapid investment success. Lijie is curious and passionate about the future. To satisfy his curiosity, he reads widely, expanding and upgrading his knowledge, not only in investment but also in universe development, biological evolution, sociology, and human nature. He integrates seemingly unrelated knowledge to form his unique investment philosophy, the Outlier Investor. Entering the investment field isn't about having funds, but having resources. With resources, one can meet more entrepreneurs and access better projects; having the ability to contribute more than just funds gives one stronger bargaining power in negotiations for more reasonable valuations. Before investing, Lijie spent years in the mobile internet field, founding the "Mobile 2.0 Forum" through his ability to accumulate and maximize resource integration. His investment style post-entering the field perfectly illustrates the importance of integrating resources. Angel investing sounds glamorous but is a tough and grueling job involving pre-investment decision-making, negotiations, and meticulous post-investment management. Especially post-investment, the more you invest, the greater the responsibility and pressure. Often, trying to handle everything can be overwhelming and stressful. However, Lijie managed to invest in over 300 mobile internet companies within a few years, not only nurturing star enterprises like Ehang drones, Hesai, Medlinker, Westwell, Dobot, Shouqianba, and SuperMonkey but also finding time to read, exercise, and even write the book "Outlier Investor." His energy, self-discipline, and time management skills are truly admirable. Lijie is not only a diligent angel investor but also an excellent mentor for those new to angel investing. One of his dreams has always been to evangelize the field of angel investing. Writing this book and sharing his investment philosophy without reservation is just the first step toward realizing this dream. Wishing my like-minded comrade his dream come true!
