在这个寒冷的冬夜，天使投资人徐小平通过微博分享了他的见解和经历。截至发稿日，这条微博已被转发846次，或许它能为更多热血创业青年带来温暖。在这条微博发布前不久，徐小平还分享了一个与他谈话的顺丰快递员的故事，他希望每个人都能在自己的岗位上看到发展机会和人生前景。
55岁的徐小平在微博上的粉丝超过355万。他不仅言语亲切、机智幽默，还能让你感受到梦想。这或许是最重要的事情。5年间，为30多个项目投资2000多万美金，徐小平反复强调他的投资哲学：宁可错投五个也不放走一个。
垂直B2C网站维棉创始人林伟和徐小平的故事就是通过微博牵线搭桥。维棉于2010年11月6日上线，以袜子为切口切入垂直电子商务市场。维棉正式上线后，吸引了很多关注电子商务的业内人士关注，其中包括一听音乐网CEO杜雪骞。
杜雪骞一直是徐小平的合作伙伴。在一次碰面中，杜雪骞向徐小平推荐了维棉，随后徐小 平就在微博上给林伟发了私信，约他见面聊聊。在随后的20分钟沟通后， Xu 小 平 就决定投资1000万元人民币，他提出的唯一问题是“你们今后会只做袜子吗”。
这就是他的投资风格：决策快、投资快。而对于他的投资原则，他曾这样阐释，“Investment lastly is to invest in people, but this common sense, often will be interfered by the optimistic psychology of getting big opportunities. I personally experience: and a person talk after, if you have all the love for this person in your mind, then the project has a chance; on the contrary, if all you think about is this project, investment should be cautious.”
他说，“Looking back on my investment experiences, several most successful projects were because of 'people' invested; several disastrous projects were because of 'ideas' invested. People suggest entrepreneurs should put their resumes at the beginning of their business plan. I strongly agree. Resumes do not only contain educational background but also past records or Track Record.”
从1996年涉足留学咨询事业到2006年的新东方教育集团登陆纽交所，在这10年中， Xu 小 平 和俞敏洪、钱永强等其他创始人一起塑造了“新东方精神”。关于 Xu 小 平 投出的第一笔天使资金，有两个版本，一是在2006年的斯坦福之旅；另一个版本则是他资助了一位来自浙江农村的创业青年。
或许是教育出身的缘故，即便在现实与网络中，不自觉地扮演着“导师”的角色。他几乎每天都在网络对创业者发出建议：“First-time entrepreneurship must focus on business model that makes money extremely simple and single. Like Microsoft starting with an operating system for DOS or New Oriental starting as teaching services only one product like a pair of socks or Vancl selling only one item like a shirt...”
He encourages those who have dreams to turn them into reality through hard work and determination. He loves sharing stories about young people who chase their dreams:
文含 graduated from Tsinghua University with an engineering degree yet was passionate about wine-making he self-funded his way to France to study wine-making before returning home to open up his own wine training center.
The devil tells Faustus: interest beats love.
His answer was: where are you? Where is your ideal? Don't ask me what major you should choose but what kind of life you want to live until death?
When asked how he would advise job seekers and fighters for success now days,"e-commerce!" he said.
In 2011 year-end Xu Small Pine formally started angel investing for five years saying "Five years should give myself a report card now." Each year when it's new-year's Eve he doesn't want to invest anymore due to spending so much money! Blood-curdling! All his own money!
Xu Small Pine plans every year invest around 20 companies taking out three-four hundred million dollars distributing funds annually targeting ten years creating miracles within ten years investing two hundred companies creating four-five listed companies whatever profit made from exiting investments will go back into new ones.
Recently Xu Small Pine has been closely watching e-commerce saying electronic commerce is bound continue because old folks habits have formed when eighties-nineties generation becomes main buying force there won't be going back possible!
Criticism:
Xu Small Pine's consulting ideas already influenced an entire generation university students with his books spreading widely influencing society entirely through "Xu Logic" - Only through careful planning can create exciting lives now as China most famous angel investor being chased by countless young entrepreneurs as heart mentor machine humor witty charming old boyish playful hot on weibo giving advice encouraging dreamers turning dreams into reality
