Chapter 686 goes on one after another

……

"Wang Zheng, you are here. I didn't see you when I just came!"

At this moment, Zhang Ying walked down from the upper floor.

"Sister-in-law, I came to the study just now. ”

"Congratulations, you're a dad!"

"Thank you!"

Zhang Ying nodded and beckoned to Ma Yun, "Old Ma, aren't you coming with me to see the child? What are you doing sitting there, come up quickly!"

"Yes, yes, I almost missed the most important thing by chatting!" Ma Yun stood up with a smile. "Brother, you dad go up with us!"

"Okay!"

Wang Zheng, who nodded in agreement, led Ma Yun upstairs, and everyone talked about the topic of children, and after eating lunch together at noon, they were sent away at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

Later, as the news of Wang Zheng's birth spread among some close people, many people came to congratulate him.

At home, he has to be a good father, take care of his wife and children, and send off visiting guests outside, so Wang Zheng was busy throughout October. Originally, I planned to follow the opening ceremony of 'Shennong Academy' and expand my social circle, but I had to give up halfway.

Fortunately, with his economic strength now, even if he doesn't do it deliberately, there will be a large number of people who come to the door to stammer.

However, when Wang Zheng was enjoying his family life more, the news about him and his business group outside was surging.

From the speech at the opening ceremony of Shennong Academy on September 26, to October 2, more than 30 home appliances and consumer electronics companies such as Haier, Lenovo, Hisense, and Midea joined the 'Artificial Intelligence Alliance'. In less than a year, this business alliance initiated by nine technology giants, including Shennong Technology, Tencent and Alibaba, has expanded to nearly half of the high-tech enterprises in China.

Then, Shennong Technology, Lenovo, Hisense, etc. established the 'Smart Home Alliance', which made ordinary people begin to realize that the era of artificial intelligence is really coming.

As the protagonist of the matter, Shennong Technology, which has mastered artificial intelligence technology, is undoubtedly the brightest star in October. Even Wang Zheng, who is the boss, once surpassed everyone and became the most reported celebrity in China in October.

It's a pity that compared to Ma Yun, this legendary young business elite rarely gives interviews because he doesn't like to show his face, and the outside world knows little about it. But the attraction brought by this mystery has attracted too many people's attention.

Therefore, when Shennong Technology, Ma Yun's 'Yunbo Investment', and Wang Chuanfu's private investment fund jointly registered 'Fengshen Automobile Company' in Chang'an, even if there was no news report, it was also because of this wave of enthusiasm about Wang Zheng and Shennong Technology, plus some people's intentional or unintentional news, and it was very noisy.

However, the content related to Wang Zheng is obviously more than that.

In November, Wharf Holdings Group acquired a 40% stake in CapitaLand, one of Asia's largest real estate companies, from Singapore's sovereign wealth fund Temasek, for US$1.5 billion in cash and US$5 billion in loans from Singapore's sovereign wealth fund, with the financial backing of East West Bank.

Before the business community and ordinary people could react, Wharf Holdings' president and CEO Wang Kai announced in major media outlets in Singapore and Hong Kong that Wharf's stake in CapitaLand reached 65.4%, including the company's previous acquisition of CapitaLand shares from the secondary market, and formally proposed an agreement to privatize CapitaLand to Singapore stock market managers and investors.

According to normal business logic, the privatization of CapitaLand, which manages total assets of more than 250 billion Huaxia coins, is bound to be a long-term process of negotiation through ruffle and compromise. But the reality is that in just over half a month, the whole process was completed.

Subsequently, this piece of big fat in the real estate and retail industry was eaten by Wang Zheng's enterprises.

Times Department Store has taken over the operation of 105 shopping malls in 53 cities in Singapore, China, Malaysia, Dongying and India, as well as 17 shopping malls under construction. In one fell swoop, the number of offline stores of Times Department Store has increased from 457 to 562, and there are 49 of them under construction, and the business scope has really stepped out of China.

Wharf Land, a subsidiary of Wharf Holdings, has taken over the ownership and management of nearly 11.5 million square meters of property in CapitaLand Malls and offices. Wharf Real Estate, which has swallowed such a large piece of fat, has instantly surpassed Wanda's 30 million square meters in total property area, becoming the world's largest commercial real estate developer, which has also caused the stock price of Wharf Real Estate to soar instantly, once exceeding 900 billion Hong Kong dollars in the Hong Kong stock market, and 934.8 billion Hong Kong dollars at its peak. Wharf's shareholding in its subsidiary, Wharf Real Estate, has also rebounded to 92.4%.

Greentown Real Estate, which took over 17,000 serviced apartments and 67 properties of CapitaLand Group, has also seen its share price soar, although it is not as large as Wharf Real Estate, but it has also exceeded 220 billion Hong Kong dollars!

In addition to the above three, Sinicization Trust has taken over 7 real estate fund companies under CapitaLand Group, including Ascott Apartment Trust, CapitaLand Business Real Estate Trust, and CapitaMalls Singapore Trust. On this basis, GCA Trust has transformed from an unknown name to the largest real estate fund management service provider in Asia.

The acquisition of CapitaLand Group not only boosted Wharf's reputation, but also brought direct and indirect wealth worth more than 300 billion Chinese dollars.

Just when people had not yet fully digested the shock of Wharf's annexation of CapitaLand, in December, Wang Fei, CEO of Hanhua Fund, announced in front of the media that he would officially divest all of its sharing economy businesses and reorganize them into the world's largest sharing service website platform 'Luyuan', which means green resources, advocates sharing economy, and reduces pollution and resource consumption.

As soon as the Luyuan platform is launched, it will concentrate the largest bike-sharing company in China, 'ofo' small yellow car, the largest shared charging treasure company 'Street Electric Technology', the largest umbrella sharing company 'Youshuo', the largest shared office company 'Ucommune', the largest short-term rental platform 'Xiaozhu Short Rental', and the country's second largest online car-hailing company 'Shenzhou Special Car'.

With the slogan of 'one-stop sharing, meet all your needs', the new CEO Pan Jianjun announced that in 2017, Luyuan will invest 5 billion Huaxia coins to continue to increase the company's market share in shared bicycles, power banks, umbrellas, offices, travel, etc., and expand to new areas such as knowledge sharing and sports product sharing.

Throughout December, the establishment of Luyuan Group has become the most concerned thing in the global Internet community. The Economist even praised it as China's next Alibaba and Tencent.

However, eye-catching media commentary sometimes doesn't tell too much. The total market value of the current Luyuan platform is less than $10 billion. It's still far from the big three BTAs.

If October belongs to Wang Zheng and Shennong Academy, November belongs to Wharf, and December belongs to Luyuan, then January 2017 undoubtedly belongs to Shennong Technology.

In the month before the arrival of the Lunar New Year in 2016, Shennong Intelligent Technology, a subsidiary of Shennong Technology, acquired Lenovo Group for 20 billion Chinese dollars, plus 10% of the company's shares, and became a 'hit' in the first month of 2017!

Lenovo Group is undoubtedly one of the most famous enterprises in the first 30 years of China's reform and opening up, and it is also synonymous with high technology. The acquisition of IBM's personal computer business in 05 pushed Lenovo's popularity in China to a peak. Although, 10 years later, Lenovo's position in China's tech world has begun to give way to the more powerful Alibaba, Tencent and Baidu, the world's No. 1 PC manufacturer's name and the corporate credibility built up over the years are still enough to shake the whole of China and have a significant impact on the global tech community.

When Deng Ziqing, president of Shennong Technology, announced at the press conference of Lenovo Group in Beijing and in front of hundreds of media around the world that the assets of Shennong Intelligent Technology were merged into Lenovo as a whole, and the Lenovo brand will continue to grow with the support of Shennong Technology, the "People~Min Daily", which has always been the official mouthpiece, published an editorial on the front page headline with the title of "Replacement of the old and the new, the acquisition of Lenovo Group, marking the beginning of China's reform and opening up into a new historical period".

The main thrust of the article is very clear: through this acquisition, it shows that Huaxia's scientific and technological inventions and creations have changed from imitation and plagiarism of foreign scientific and technological leaders in the past to leaders in scientific and technological inventions. The final conclusion is that China is becoming more and more politically, economically, and technologically powerful under the leadership of the government, and the West should face up to China's rise.

However, Wang Zheng and his subsidiaries have not been in the limelight for a long time. It was replaced by another thing that really caused a global sensation.

"China-ASEAN 2017~2021 General Cooperation Agreement"!"

After nearly half a year of consultations, this cooperation agreement, which includes six subsidiary agreements such as the "South China Sea Peace Agreement" and the "China-ASEAN Free Trade Area Agreement", with thousands of major articles, involving dozens of directions such as politics, military, transportation, infrastructure construction, and culture, has almost announced to the world that ASEAN and China are standing together.

The great geopolitical changes triggered by this have produced a violent shock in the complex and volatile international political situation such as the 'ebb tide' of American power from the whole world under the auspices of Trump, Brexit, the European refugee crisis, and the Syrian war.

"The West is declining, China is rising, ASEAN and China live next to each other, and we have no choice for ASEAN's security and economic development!"

Mesati's speech at the ASEAN Joint Meeting made headlines in The New York Times, The Times, and major world news outlets such as Facebook, Yahoo, and Tencent News.

Turning off the TV, Wang Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

"After half a year's hard work, this agreement was finally facilitated!"

"But there may be chaos within ASEAN for a while. Uncle Zhong said on the side.

"Wasn't this a long-time anticipation? Moreover, we have purged the opponents of extremists and the wealthy class. The rest are just ordinary people who are incapable, and they can't turn the sky upside down. … By the way, take advantage of the chaos and decorate more people in Nuwa's space. ASEAN's population of 600 million is too much of a lazy man!" Wang Zheng frowned.

"Young master, we have already transferred more than 500,000 in half a year, if there are more, will there be chaos?"

The more gangsters, lazy people, beggars, mentally retarded, and poor people disappear, the more stable the society will be. After the words fell, Wang Zheng threw the remote control on the sofa next to him and stood up, "Don't worry, as time goes by, our control over ASEAN will become more and more stable, coupled with the cooperation of the 'neuron mastermind' on the network, there will be no big mess." ”

"Yes, young master!"

After nodding, Wang Zheng turned out the window, and the flying snowflakes decorated thousands of miles of rivers and mountains into a blanket of silver.

"It's snowing!"

"It's going to take two days!" said Uncle Zhong.

"Ruixue Zhaofeng year, okay... By the way, what time is it today?"

"February 5th, there are two more days before the Spring Festival!"

"It's another year in the blink of an eye, time flies so fast!" Wang Zheng said with some emotion.

"Young Master, don't worry. With our technology and capabilities, you can live far longer than the average person!"

"No matter how long it is, it's not like you can't escape death?... Forget it, will Lao Wang's family and Brother Ma still come to celebrate the New Year this year?"

"I've already called to ask. Come! Moreover, there are more people celebrating the New Year in the villa this year than last year! Moreover, many of them are of interest to you, young master!"

"Oh?"

Wang Zheng turned around.

Facing the inquiring gaze, Uncle Zhong immediately said: "Abu Dhabi Sheikh Khalifa II, Kuwaiti Crown Prince Sabah!"

"Taiyi, it's really a good skill. actually abducted the two of them directly to the villa!" Wang Zheng said happily.

"No amount of wealth can withstand the ravages of time. In order to live a few more years and enjoy the glory and wealth brought by power, they must of course pay attention to the sophistication of medical skills. Uncle Zhong said.

Wang Zheng nodded in agreement, and after thinking for a while, "Let Wang Lei arrange the reception, this time we must share a big fat piece from these two Middle Eastern tyrants!"

"Yes!"

"Young Master, in addition to these two, there is another person who believes you will also be interested!"

"Who?"

"Warren Buffett, leader of Berkshire Hathaway!"

"It's him!" Wang Zheng was stunned for a moment, and said thoughtfully, "At the opening ceremony of Shennong Academy, he didn't show up. I didn't expect to come over by myself now? Uncle Zhong, did he say anything in advance?"

"No! didn't even inform us. If it weren't for the fact that the 'neuronal mastermind' would have informed every important person who entered Liuba County, we wouldn't even know that he had arrived. ”

"That's it!" Wang Zheng thoughtfully touched his slightly stubble chin, and after half a sound, "Since the other party doesn't want to make a noise, then we will pretend not to know." Let's see what he thinks first. ”

"Yes!"
