Feng Xiaochen really can't explain what he is trying to do to Bao Chengming, because once he explains, Bao Chengming will not only not believe it, but I'm afraid he will also feel that he has something wrong with his brain, at least he is full of food and support, and he thinks about some things that are out of tune. Looking at Feng Xiaochen's arrangement from the time node of 1995, everyone will have this idea.

What Feng Xiaochen wants to do is actually very simple, that is, to pave the way for large-scale acquisitions of well-known European companies in the future. The companies he asked Hotby and others to buy were just used to hide people's eyes, and in the words of later generations, they were a pair of white gloves.

Feng Xiaochen clearly remembered that since the beginning of the new century, China's economy has been improving all the way and its foreign exchange reserves have been increasing, while Europe has fallen into a protracted European debt crisis, and many of the now well-known enterprises are mired in losses and waiting for the fate of being acquired. In the first 20 years of the new century, Chinese enterprises acquired a large number of old European enterprises and acquired the technologies and brands they had accumulated for many years, making China quickly rank among the world's leading companies in many technological fields.

As the scale of Chinese acquisitions of European companies has become larger, some countries and organizations hostile to China have begun to clamor various versions of the "threat theory", creating various obstacles for Chinese acquisitions of European companies. Many of the proposed acquisitions have been halted for a variety of spurious reasons, and some European companies have been asked to separate their core technology divisions at the time of sale, allowing only the Chinese to buy the ordinary business.

Feng Xiaochen knows this history, and what he is doing now is laying the groundwork for future acquisitions. He registered a large number of ghost companies, and then used these ghost companies to participate in some small and medium-sized enterprises in Europe, so as not to attract the attention of others. At present, he has limited funds at hand, and he cannot completely acquire these small and medium-sized enterprises, so he can only occupy a position in these enterprises as an ordinary shareholder first.

In the coming years, he will look for opportunities to gradually increase the efficiency of these companies and eventually gain a controlling stake in them. Then, he helps these companies grow through profit shifting. When the European debt crisis begins, he can use the companies he controls to acquire the old European companies he wants, and even some American and Japanese companies.

Because his company is still European in name, at least in name, such an acquisition will not arouse the alarm of those international organizations. And when the incumbent companies are acquired, it is difficult for others to restrict whether they resell all the property rights to Chinese companies or quietly transfer internal technology.

In order for this series of acquisitions to be unaware, it is necessary to erase the traces of "China" in them, or at least to make people feel that they are not a planned act, but at best an accidental act of a few Chinese billionaires. Feng Xiaochen asked Bao Chengming not to let these European agents know each other, that is, they themselves could not see Feng Xiaochen's plan, even if a few agents leaked the secret, others would not have thought that this was such a grand plan.

Feng Xiaochen started registering ghost companies 10 years ago, and now he has begun to take stakes in small and medium-sized enterprises in Europe, in order to lengthen the whole process so that people don't feel the existence of a conspiracy. This practice is called "playing a few players" in Go, and these players may not be useful in the end, but as long as a few players play a role, they can change the whole game.

Feng Xiaochen is not arrogant enough to think that after 20 years, he can rely on the strength of Chen Yu Company to complete the acquisition of a number of old European companies, which needs to be done by gathering the strength of the whole country. The idle man he is making today's cloth is actually a marriage for others, and the one who really completes these acquisitions may be a large state-owned enterprise, or a private enterprise, or a variety of funds that only appeared in later generations.

In this sense, it may be more appropriate for the state to do this, such as by the equipment industry company, which is justified. But Feng Xiaochen also has his own difficulties, that is, he can't persuade the state to invest in this kind of thing, if he goes to the "relevant departments" at all levels to say this idea, I am afraid that the reaction of people will be the same as Bao Chengming, feeling shocked, and even suspecting that Feng Xiaochen has any other ideas.

In addition, this time he asked people to buy these small and medium-sized enterprises in Europe, which is also risky. Some companies may not survive and have already gone bankrupt before they come in handy, and the funds invested in the early stage will be wasted. This kind of investment is somewhat similar to venture capital, where investing 10 can become 1 is considered a victory. But if the state is asked to pay for it, once it fails, he, the manager, will not be able to say clearly. Especially when the country's foreign exchange is so tight, the pressure to spend a large amount of foreign exchange to do something that is high-risk and cannot see the immediate benefits is too great.

Considering this kind of trouble, Feng Xiaochen decided that he could only do it himself, anyway, it was the money he earned, it didn't matter how he used it, and he didn't need to be responsible for anyone. He now feels more and more how wise he was in setting up a "reserved land" in the first place, and the system has a lot of power, but it is also very constrained. If you have some resources in your hands, you will be able to do things with ease.

Hotby accepted the assignment and left Munich in high spirits. Feng Xiaochen asked him to register a company in the United Kingdom, with him as the legal representative, but the major shareholder was an overseas ghost company of Chen Yu Company. After the registration of this company is completed, Hotby will acquire 10% of the equity of Linton Electronics Company in the name of this company, and then hold the equity in his hands, neither cash nor participate in the operation of the company, just occasionally go to the shareholders' meeting to brush up on the sense of existence.

Hotby came to Munich as a "freelancer", and soon after he returned he was able to become the CEO of a company that, albeit as a leather bag, was enough for Hotbyser. Hottby knew that the boss of his own boss would definitely not buy a stake in Linton because he had too much money to do anything, and he would definitely make further moves. What this action is, for Hotby, there is no need to think about it, he only knows that it means that his job can be guaranteed for the next few years. What could be more important in this world than a secure job?

"Lao Bao, in the future, the group's profits may have to be invested in this matter, and everyone's dividends may be reduced, I'm really sorry. ”

Finally assigned tasks to dozens of agents, Feng Xiaochen stretched his waist and stretched his muscles and bones, and said to Bao Chengming. He is the majority shareholder of the group, and he can make decisions in all the group, but after all, he still has to consider the emotions of these partners.

Bao Chengming waved his hand again and again, and said, "Mr. Feng, look at what you said." Although I still can't see Mr. Feng's intentions, with my more than 40 years of experience, I can also know that this is definitely a far-sighted arrangement. Mr. Feng now invests one dollar, and if he can't take back a hundred yuan in the future, I will pick out my eyeballs. ”

"Haha, I invested and looked away, how could I pick your old bag's eyeballs?"

"That's because I'm looking at the wrong person. However, I believe that there will never be such a day, from the time I started my business with Mr. Feng to the present, when did Mr. Feng make a wrong decision? When I was drinking with Lao Yao, I always told him that as long as Mr. Feng started to think, we could let our brains rest and rest, because Feng would never go wrong. ”

Feng Xiaochen was speechless, this sentence seems to have been said by a senior cadre when he commented on a certain great man, it was widely circulated among the people, Bao Chengming actually used it on his Feng Xiaochen's body, is this considered a delirium? He thought for a while and said:

"Lao Bao, from now on, your brain can't rest, you have to keep an eye on these companies, try not to let them go bankrupt. In recent years, the Chinese market will definitely develop rapidly, and you can introduce these companies to China to develop their business, and use the Chinese market to gradually grow them. Don't forget, we all have shares in these companies, and if they make a profit, we will be able to pay dividends, which can be regarded as fighting to support the war. ”

"Understood, understood. Bao Chengming nodded, and then said, "Mr. Feng, I think let's not be in a hurry to fatten them up, but let them be a little more rotten, so that all shareholders will be disappointed in it, so that we can gradually buy the equity in the hands of other shareholders." When our shares account for seventy or eighty percent, wouldn't it be better to fatten it again. ”

"I forgot about it. Feng Xiaochen smiled dumbly, in fact, the plan that Bao Chengming said was exactly what he had thought of, but when he said it, it was wrong, or Bao Chengming was shrewd, and he found the problem at once and made corrections. Feng Xiaochen chose Bao Chengming to do this, in fact, it was because he took a fancy to his shrewdness, even if Bao Chengming didn't know Feng Xiaochen's future plans, he would subconsciously choose the best plan.

"Lao Bao, you just let it go, and I will allocate another batch of funds for your use in the future. You can rest assured that the money we invest today will definitely have big gains in the future. What we are doing is a millennium plan, if this thing is done, not only can we benefit ourselves, but also benefit the country and the people, and then your old bag's name will also be recorded in history. ”

"No problem, since I followed Mr. Feng, my old bag has also earned a net worth of several million, bought a house in Pujiang, and built a four-story small western-style building in Jinnan's hometown, and the money for the next few lifetimes is enough to spend. What I lack now is an opportunity to go down in history, Mr. Feng can always give me such an opportunity, and I will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire. ”

Bao Chengming's face was righteous and awe-inspiring. His words are not entirely false, people think about making money when they have no money, and once they make some money, they start to have other ideas. Bao Chengming has also been in the agency anyway, and he has some thoughts of pursuing fame, and being able to go down in history is also a very tempting goal for him.
