Chapter 148: A Flood of Arrivals
October 20, 2012.
The sky is clear, the reinforced concrete city is exposed to the sun, and the office buildings covered with glass are like a mighty warrior.
Afternoon.
Huaxin Technology held a press conference at its headquarters in Haizhou Hi-Tech Park to express concern about the unfair treatment of its partner, Sumeng Culture.
Huaxin Technology is a very influential large group in Haizhou and even Donghai Province, and its voice has made Haizhou feel nervous.
Although Huaxin Technology's press conference was very brief, it only announced its views on this matter, and the media attending the meeting also got a statement similar to the nature of the announcement.
But the implication behind it is enormous.
If Sumeng Culture and Shengtian Group brought a small shock to Haizhou in the morning, then Huaxin Technology's statement made the Haizhou Municipal Government feel a sense of urgency, and even the relevant leaders of Donghai Province could not underestimate the political influence it bringed.
Haizhou Municipal Government, the mayor received a call from the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, in which he asked him to appease Huaxin Technology at all costs, and never let Huaxin Technology, the hen that lays eggs, fly!
In fact, there is no need for pressure from the secretary of the municipal party committee, and the mayor also knows the seriousness of the matter.
Although Huaxin Technology has not expressed a tendency to move away from Haizhou, it is a possibility after all. If Huaxin Technology moves to other places, then Haizhou should cry when other places are happy, whether it is him or the secretary of the municipal party committee, there is no good fruit to eat.
So the mayor did not dare to slack off, and personally led a team to Huaxin Technology to understand the situation.
But just as he was on his way to Huaxin Technology, another news came. Well, very bad news. almost made the mayor drop the phone in his hand.
It turned out that half an hour after Huaxin Technology held a press conference. Michel Modern Technology Group, a large multinational company registered in the Cayman Islands, the second largest shareholder of Huaxin Technology and a 20% stake in Huaxin Technology, issued an announcement overnight:
Intelligence gathered through observers in China. Suspected of a deterioration in the investment environment in Donghai Province and concerns about the damage to the group's interests in China, Michel Hyundai Technology Group will suspend negotiations on investment in China, depending on the follow-up information gathered by observers in China.
The announcement was made like a bolt from the blue.
You must know that Michel Modern Technology Group is a very famous multinational group in the world, although it only holds 20% of the shares of Huaxin Technology, but the capital is abundant, and its own financial resources are more than Huaxin Technology, its every move. It has interfered with the choice of interests of other companies in China.
As it moves, its close partners are waiting to see ......
This is like a benchmark statement, which has caused foreign consortiums to be concerned about investing in China.
In recent years, China has been shouting "market economy" and demanding that foreign countries recognize China's market economy status, and this statement by Michel Hyundai Technology Group is tantamount to a slap in the face to the Chinese government.
The Ministry of Commerce got the news, and the Donghai Province also got the news.
Michelle Modern Technology Group Weishenme issued this statement because something that did go against the market economy happened!
So the Ministry of Commerce called Donghai Province and the provincial party committee to the municipal party committee. The provincial government called the mayor, and the phone calls were overwhelming, which made the mayor, who was dealing with the announcement of Huaxin Technology, face darker and darker.
, what's the matter!
What's happening in the country. How did it cause a reaction from Michelle Modern Technology Group?
While the mayor was busy dealing with the constant inquiring calls, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and another message was sent back from abroad by fax.
The registered place is in the British Virgin Islands. A foreign company called "Tumanca International Holding Group" also issued a statement:
In view of the concerns about the overflow of public power of the local government, Tumanca International Holding Group decided to take effect on the same day. There is no specific timetable for phasing out short-term investments in China. Any losses that may be incurred as a result will be borne by Tumanca International Holding Group.
If Michel Hyundai Technology Group's cautious statement represents an attitude towards investing in China, then Tumanca International Holding Group's statement is a prediction of investment prospects.
This Tumanca International Holding Group is a very typical pure holding company, which does not have its own production projects, and survives by holding other companies for profit.
As a result, there are a large number of forward-looking economists within Tumanca International Holding Group, and its forecasts are quite influential for such a pure holding company.
And what is shocking is that Tumanca International Holding Group is a man of action! A few minutes after the statement was issued, many coastal provinces received information that they had sold the shares of the companies they controlled.
The action was crisp and clean, without the slightest hesitation, and it looked like it was about to withdraw its short-term investment! And it did, so no one doubted that it was just a show.
As a result, there was a chain reaction, and that afternoon, international capital in the country began to surge.
After decades of reform and opening up, the economic development of the whole country has been inextricably linked with the international community.
This kind of connection between you and me and I have you is not only the basis for mutual benefit and win-win results, but also the premise of interdependence.
When Michelle Modern Technology Group and Tumanca International Holding Group showed abnormal behavior, it was you who sang and I appeared, and the show was turned upside down.
No one knew that Weishenme, two giant multinational conglomerates, would make such an abnormal move, but a closer analysis of the equity composition of Huaxin Technology revealed a trace of anomalies.
Michel Modern Technology Group holds a 20% stake in Huaxin Technology.
Tumanca International Holding Group holds a 25% stake in Huaxin Technology.
The first largest shareholder and the second largest shareholder are moving at the same time, and they are inextricably linked with Huaxin Technology.
After all, Huaxin Technology is a domestic company registered in China, even if it has enough influence in China. There is also a need to consider the consequences.
Therefore, the most appropriate thing for Huaxin Technology to do is to issue an innocuous announcement. Meaning, express your position.
Its will is expressed through two large foreign companies in which it holds shares. It not only increased the intensity of speech, so that the upper echelons did not dare to take strong measures considering the influence, but also really expressed the intention they wanted to express.
The mayor of Haizhou is already busy, and the secretary of the municipal party committee is also busy dealing with the pressure from above.
In Donghai Province, an emergency Standing Committee is being held.
During the meeting, news came one after another, which made the face of the secretary of the provincial party committee who was sitting in the first place turn blue.
"Bang!" the fist landed the table, and the voice roared: "What the hell is going on here, the investment environment is like a rain in June." Change when you say change!"
The cause of the incident originated in Donghai Province, which made him feel a heavy pressure as the leader.
The Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have received a large number of inquiries and complaints from abroad, and Michel Modern Technology Group and Tumanca International Holding Group can still influence some small countries and even some medium and large countries.
He felt that if he did not handle this matter well, his political future could be affected.
The provincial governor had the same black face, and this time he and the secretary of the provincial party committee had the same position, both grasshoppers on a rope. If you want to die, you will die together!
"Secretary Guan, come and talk about it!" his eyes fell on Guan Chengjing's body, and the voice of the provincial party secretary was full of coldness.
Twisting out the cigarette in his hand, Guan Chengjing's brows tightened into the word Sichuan. Faced with the current situation, which has begun to get out of control, he knows that it is difficult for a single provincial party committee to deal with it, and what the provincial party committee can do is to appease the source of the whole incident. And launch one or more people who take responsibility!
……
Haizhou City, Shengtian Group Chairman's Office.
Ji Shengchen was a little dumbfounded and watched the continuous interpretation of the play. So far, Sumeng Culture and Shengtian Group have only shown their demeanor in the morning, and in the afternoon. The changes in the whole incident made everyone forget about their existence.
Michel Modern Technology Group and Tumanca International Holding Group, both of which are an industry and a capital, are internationally renowned super-large group companies!
Su Caiwei said that Huaxin Technology would stand on their side, and yes, Huaxin Technology did stand on their side.
But Ji Shengchen did not expect that Michelle Modern Technology Group and Tumanka International Holding Group would have such a big reaction.
It can even be said that the reaction of the two multinational corporations is the protagonist! It is directly and effortlessly concealed their brilliance.
"Chairman, I have collected all the materials about Huaxin Technology that you asked me to collect. The assistant pushed open the door and walked in, handing over a holding report on Huaxin Technology to Ji Shengchen.
"Well, you go out first. ”
After the assistant went out, Ji Shengchen slowly flipped through the materials in his hand.
After he finished reading it, his eyes couldn't help but flash with a strange light.
……
Beijing, Golden Autumn Garden.
A special enlarged meeting is underway.
The participants were all domestic figures who have the ability to determine the direction of the country.
At the beginning of the meeting, the government first reported the corresponding situation, and when all the things were clearly introduced, the bigwigs who participated in the meeting began to speak one by one.
"Things are generally clear, because there was a problem with the education of children by the relevant leaders of Donghai Province, which led to a series of subsequent events. ”
No. 1 had a calm face, and after listening to everyone's opinions, he first characterized the incident.
"In this matter, the handling of the Donghai Province side is not satisfactory. Their political consciousness and lack of sense of crisis, and their negative attitude of not making a decisive decision in the face of an incident and not handling it simply are the main culprits who pushed the incident in an unpredictable direction! Moreover, the delayed reaction after the incident occurred is also intolerable!"
"So, Donghai Province should be responsible for this incident!"
The bigwigs who were not from the same faction as the number one leader of Tokai Province immediately launched an attack on Tokai Province.
Several bigwigs quickly reached an agreement on the characterization and handling of the incident, after all, the inaction of the province in this incident is obvious to all, and someone must bear this responsibility.
"In addition, several parties should also be held responsible!"
There was nothing to say about it, and it was quickly passed.
After some exchanges, the meeting reached a conclusion, which can be regarded as a happy one, and all parties have their own losses and gains. The next step is to study the degree of treatment, which is another stage of bargaining.
At this time, some people raised objections, "This time, Su Meng Culture and Shengtian Group are the parties concerned, and their irrational expressions have provoked an example of the struggle between the government and the people. ”
"That's right, after dealing with the relevant personnel of Donghai Province, these two companies can't be easily spared, this wind can't last!" another person stood up and said.
As for Huaxin Technology, no one has offered to punish it.
After all, Huaxin Technology has grown to a certain extent, and has a strong foreign investment background, and even state-owned capital accounts for a certain proportion of it, so in the case of not breaking the muscles and bones, the punishment for it can be saved, and it is enough to euphemistically express the warning at the top.
In peacetime, if Huaxin Technology is really forced to lose its capital, the turmoil caused by it is not what they want to see.
"Ridiculous! I am against dealing with Su Meng Culture and Shengtian Group!"
One State Councilor made his objections clear.
"Su Menghua is the direct victim in this incident, and if you still have to deal with it, it will be chilling!" a deputy prime minister, who had remained silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
"That's right, if we deal with Su Meng Culture and Shengtian Group, then the two companies Michel Modern Technology Group and Tumanca International Holding Group will have even more reason to explain that the deterioration of the investment environment in China will have an extremely far-reaching impact! We have been engaged in a market economy for so many years, and we cannot give up halfway!"
is another bigwig who opposes the punishment of Su Meng Culture and Shengtian Group. (To be continued......)
