Chapter 124: The Battle Between Stones and Eggs
The aftermath of the National Day has not yet dissipated, and Delong Group has shot again, obviously not giving up on the posture of not achieving the goal.
On October 3, the latest issue of "Business Week" published an exclusive interview with Tang Wanxin, President of Delong International.
The Delong family is a family business, created by Tang Wanxin, and there are five brothers and sisters in the Tang family, of which four brothers all hold important positions in the Delong department.
The eldest Tang Wanli is the chairman of the board of directors of Delong Group.
He is the head of the Delong department, not directly involved in corporate management, usually based in Yanjing, mainly responsible for the maintenance and public relations of the group's relationship with the upper echelons.
Tang Wanxin is the fifth oldest in the Tang family, serving as the president of Delong International, and is the absolute core of the entire group, and the other two elder brothers assist from the side.
In the domestic financial industry, Tang Wanxin is different from most rich people, and he can be called an outlier.
He has always been shrouded in a mysterious aura, among a group of domestic tycoons, Tang Wanxin has always maintained a silent and low-key state, never participated in the limelight, and all the things on the surface were dealt with by the eldest brother Tang Wanli.
When talking about Tang Wanxin, most people don't know anything about him, but there is no shortage of legends about him on the rivers and lakes, such as his "five noes" quirks.
It is rumored that Tang Wanxin does not wear a suit, does not wear a tie, does not accept interviews, does not participate in public activities, never takes pictures at will, and everything related to him seems very low-key and mysterious.
According to people who have come into contact with him, Tang Wanxin is unkempt in private, dresses casually, likes to smoke very much, has a hoarse voice, and does not look like a consortium boss at all, but more like a farmer entrepreneur.
However, the Tang family is a real intellectual family, Tang's father was the vice president of the Wushi Planning and Design Institute, the capital of Northern Xinjiang Province, Tang's mother is also a senior intellectual, Tang Wanxin himself has a university degree, his only sister is a doctor in a hospital in Yanjing, and his eldest brother was originally a school teacher.
In China in the 80s, the Tang family belonged to high-level intellectuals, but only Tang Wanxin was a freak.
In 81, 17-year-old Tang Wanxin was admitted to East China Petroleum Institute, which is today's China University of Petroleum, and after a year and a half, he went back to repeat, and then was admitted to Beijiang Petroleum Institute, this time he also studied for a year and a half, and dropped out of school and business.
You must know that the university in the 80s was not so easy to get into, and the university admission rate was basically maintained at about 2%, and besides, the college students in that year were very expensive, and graduation was basically equivalent to holding a golden job, but Tang Wanxin was stunned to drop out of school twice, and I have to say that he is also a person with a story.
Tang Wanxin has been wandering around since the mid-80s, and has single-handedly built the private giant Delong Department, and his personal experience is very legendary.
In the financial world, there are few people who are interested in Tang Wanxin, but he has never appeared in public, and he is full of mystery, no one expected that he would choose to be interviewed by the media at this time.
The rare opportunity to do so was BusinessWeek, a magazine that was founded in 2000, less than three years ago.
Business Week is a semi-monthly magazine, and although it has been published for a short time, its influence should not be underestimated, and the people it has interviewed include Li Ka-shing, Microsoft's Tang Jun, Vanke's Wang Shi, as well as the heads of major state-owned financial institutions, as well as senior officials of the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the China Banking Regulatory Commission.
"Business Week" is currently the only news weekly business week published at home and abroad, and its main users cover business people and government officials, as well as most of the foreign business people who invest in China.
It can be seen that Delong's department was carefully selected for this interview, and "Business Week" also attached great importance to this interview, and deliberately took Tang Wanxin as the cover character of this issue.
As soon as the latest issue of "Business Week" came out, it immediately caused a sensation, and the news media carried out large-scale reprints, and the online media was naturally not far behind, and the three major domestic portals were all reported in prominent positions without exception.
Chen Qiaoshan has been paying attention to the trends of the Delong department in the past few days, and naturally saw the relevant news for the first time, and he was sitting in the Internet café at the moment looking at the cover of "Business Week" in a daze.
On the cover of the magazine, Tang Wanxin was really wearing a red plaid T-shirt as rumored, with a calm expression and a casual posture.
Different from ordinary people nowadays, Tang Wanxin still has a mustache, he is slightly chubby, with thick eyebrows and small eyes, obviously not well-groomed hairstyle and nondescript two beards, the whole person looks like an uncle in the countryside, without the momentum of a capital predator.
The background of the cover of the magazine is a building, and the rice-shaped steel structure of the building is very three-dimensional, which seems to be very magnificent at the moment, and Chen Qiaoshan recognized the building above at a glance.
He hadn't been to that place, but he often saw it on the financial news, and even a dozen years later, it was just as famous, because it was the location of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the famous securities building in Pudong.
In the lower left corner of the cover is printed in gold letters the theme of the cover character of this issue: Delong Empire and Industrial Transformation.
Chen Qiaoshan did not continue to study the cover of the magazine, he directly opened the relevant interview content and quickly browsed it.
Before the interview began, it was an editor's note, which was written very carefully, and Chen Qiaoshan felt a little enthusiastic after reading it.
He is the head of the largest private enterprise in China, is the pioneer of the domestic industry-finance mixed industry operation, he with his "amazing move" in capital operation and industrial integration, shocked the entire Chinese financial circle, and led many enterprises to imitate, he is the founder of the Delong Empire Tang Wanxin.
Chen Qiaoshan also sighed a little in his heart, Tang Wanxin is indeed an extraordinary character, but this does not hinder his determination to tie up with Delong.
I have to admit that this interview is very in-depth, Tang Wanxin talked about a lot of questions, and the explanations were also very thorough, almost completely answering all kinds of questions.
Chen Qiaoshan understands that only he and the senior management of the Delong department know now that the remarks in this interview are all lies carefully woven to cover people's ears and eyes, and everything is the dying struggle of the Delong department.
Chen Qiaoshan knew that their follow-up measures would definitely be more than that, and there must be more counterattacks waiting for him.
There aren't many topics to be covered by BusinessWeek, but all the questions are about the current market.
Remember: For the high growth of the old three stocks of Delong in the market and the suspicion that it has been rumored to sit in the bank, how does Delong Group respond?
Don: I don't know much about the big dealers.
We are engaged in industrial policy, investors should not always stare at how much Delong's stocks have risen, but also see the increase in our performance, we must learn to scientific analysis, our stocks have risen tenfold, but our revenue is also greatly improved, the two are complementary to each other.
Tang Wanxin also gave an exclusive response to the problem of illegal arbitrage of funds: frequent investment is a requirement of marketization, and the rise in stock price is the result of performance support.
The capital chain of the Delong system is very normal, do not worry about any problems, you can see clearly from the QFII selection of the stocks of the Delong system, foreign investors believe in us, and the Chinese people do not need to question it at all.
As for the secured transaction, Tang Wanxin also gave an explanation: first of all, it is legal, we raise funds for investment first, and then repay the principal and interest when we have money, which is a breakthrough in the process of operation and is completely in accordance with the law.
For the insider trading with Huiyuan, he explained: 300 million yuan offset funds do exist, but it is not the group that misappropriated the liquidity of the listed company, this is the arrears of the acquisition of Huiyuan that year, when Tunhe shares reached an agreement with Huiyuan, the down payment is 100 million, and the remaining funds are deducted from the annual profits.
The reason why this is the day is because Huiyuan and Tunhe shares belonged to a strong alliance back then, and Huiyuan hoped to stabilize the upstream industry with the help of Tunhe, so it took the initiative to merge into the Delong system, which can fully withstand investigation.
As for the sale of Huiyuan shares, it is completely a normal business practice, and there is no such thing as insider trading.
Tunhe shares are from the perspective of industrial integration, and there is no cheap sale of assets.
Huiyuan's net income was almost halved last year, and Tunhe shares were also stripped out of Huiyuan in order to avoid risks, as for the so-called insider trading, it was completely to avoid excessive interpretation of the market, so this decision was made by Weiling Group to acquire.
……
Chen Qiaoshan looked at the interview news on the screen, and his heart was mixed.
He knew in his heart that everything he had done with all his might a few days ago had completely collapsed in Tang Wanxin's words.
This is an unequal game, Delong is a behemoth, and Chen Qiaoshan is just an insignificant individual.
The comparison between the two is tantamount to an elephant and a snake, but Chen Qiaoshan is not ready to help the elephant catch the mouse that burrows into its nose, because he knows that the Delong family is now terminally ill, a consortium destined to be destroyed, and he naturally will not be with it.
Chen Qiaoshan understood that the struggle between the two would continue, because at the end of "Business Week", the reporter asked what he thought of Peking University Qiaoshan.
Tang Wanxin's answer is very simple: depending on the future development of things, if necessary, everything will be handled by the group's legal department.
Chen Qiaoshan understood the meaning of his words, this was the naked threat: shut up or see you in court!
Chen Qiaoshan didn't care, because he knew that this was really not a threat, and if he really went through the legal process, I was afraid that before the lawsuit ended, the Delong system would already be in crisis.
In Tang Wanxin's eyes, Chen Qiaoshan may be a representative of his own strength, but Chen Qiaoshan knows in his heart that he is the one who has the advantage in the situation.
Although the current situation is not in his favor, he is not worried because he has enough chips to turn the tables.
