There are about 430 million people who pay relatively attention to Xu Teng's news.

That's influence!

These are unprecedented times.

On the planet where everyone lives together, there is a young tech tycoon who is considered to be the limit of humanity, with a net worth of $513 billion, and in 2012, his wealth officially exceeded the $500 billion mark.

It's an incredible miracle.

In the first month of 2013, January 12.

After arriving in Berlin and meeting with German Chancellor Madame Meker, he was invited to the Reichstag building, where he delivered a speech entitled "Human Nature and Self-Destruction" in the Reichstag building, where he used the latest research results in genetics, climate, international economics, and currency, historical data, and the results of the Copenhagen Conference to argue that human nature will inevitably lead to a worse and worse situation in the world.

Xu Teng made a very direct prediction in the former Reichstag that in the next five years, global regional games and conflicts will continue to expand, and soft and hard confrontations between countries will become more intense.

In the next ten years, the world economy will not develop for the better, but will continue to get worse, and international capital will continue to flow towards the virtual financial market, instead of entering the real economy, and the financial industry and the real economy will become more and more obviously divided.

In the next 20 years, the gap between the rich and the poor and the gap between countries in the human world will continue to widen, not shrink.

"Normally, when the world is in crisis, countries should support each other and work together, but in my observation, as I said, from the subprime mortgage crisis in 2007 to the present, the vast majority of policies developed by governments to improve their economies have been based on the interests of other countries. This determines the future that I predict. ”

"Before 2007, I was a very optimistic investor, a very optimistic and positive young man who loved life, but today, the more I know and the more I observe, the more pessimistic I am about the crisis of the human world."

"I can tell you a secret right now, in the last five years, it has become increasingly clear to my information security department that there is a global cyber force that we don't know the exact source of, and that everyone in this room, including me, is under the surveillance of this network. The difference is that I was aware of this surveillance network in 2007, and you may not be aware of it. ”

Xu Teng paused a little here, looked at the tablet PC in front of him, and also gave the German Bundestag members present a shocking buffer time, and finally, he made a summary, "In the past, you always hated the secret police of the Soviet Union and East Germany, but in my opinion, the degree of surveillance and prying eyes we are now is more inhumane than in the past. Our company, no matter which country in the world, as long as it is connected to the Internet, there is a possibility of being monitored, and when I visit any country, there is a shadow that follows me, peeking at my every move. ”

"I can tell you very little information other than to say that they are more advanced than any commercial company I know of, and my technical team is very sure that their level of AI networking is higher than that of any commercial company or lab in the world. This is a new form of nuclear weapons, this is a strategic weapon of the 21st century, and the pace of progress of the other side is beyond imagination, faster than my company, faster than Google, faster than Apple, faster than IBM, I can only say that they may have unlimited resources and technological capabilities, and invest at least $5 billion to $8 billion a year in this strategic weapon. ”

"I can also tell you that in the last five years, from the moment I found out that all my business information was being spied on by a foreign surveillance organization, I was forced to accelerate my research on artificial intelligence and cybersecurity defense technologies, and to strengthen my cooperation with multinational security agencies. So far, my business has been able to defend effectively at a very high cost, however, the pace of progress of the opponent is very fast. In the past 2012, the group launched at least 2.7 million cyberattacks against my company and about 130 million cyberattacks on Chinese government agencies and large and medium-sized enterprises throughout the Chinese economy. ”

"We have enough evidence that the other side is combining artificial intelligence and cyber attacks into a state-level strategic weapon at a pace that scares the entire world, and anyone in this world is under surveillance."

"That's what I'm going to tell you, our world is already bad, but we are human beings, we are the most hypocritical higher beings, and we always have a way to make the world worse. In this twenty-first century, I am afraid we cannot continue to think that nuclear, chemical and biological weapons are the worst weapons. The only thing I can say to all the distinguished gentlemen and ladies here is to protect yourselves, protect the information security of the German government and companies, and protect the information security of the Germans. In addition, information security agencies in Germany and other countries need data and cooperation in this area, and my company is ready to cooperate with them. ”

"These are not paid commercial services, because we always have to do something to prove that we human beings are at least kind and selfless, and as long as we are willing to carry out more transnational cooperation, we can still make human civilization continue after all." This was the end of Xu Teng's speech in the German Bundestag, and he was greeted not by applause, but by minutes of shock and silence.

It's normal.

Xu Teng's speech has actually begun to expose the existence of the Prism Project, and he did not directly say who this foreign institution is, but all the German parliamentarians present understand who he is referring to.

It would be the most embarrassing speech in the history of the Reichstag.

The most embarrassing part is that no one can question what Xu Teng said, he said that he has enough evidence, then there must be evidence, Huateng is the world's largest high-tech enterprise, with the world's largest network security service business.

Thunder sounded in silence.

The reason why Xu Teng wants to release this information in Germany and make the whole world aware of the existence of the Prism Project is actually very simple, as he said, human beings are so hypocritical.

The United States is hypocritical, and he is hypocritical.

After seven years of cyber security games, he finally defeated his opponent and had absolute certainty to prevent US cyber attacks, which was the best moment for him to announce this fact.

This is true, but it is by no means the truth.

The real truth is probably even more terrifying to the whole world.

If it were not for Xu Teng's sudden super-large-scale investment in the field of artificial intelligence, ten years in advance, the Cambridge University AI Laboratory's "deep learning theory of neuron-like systems" on intelligent program bodies, transformed into a more powerful DeepMind, and aimed at data search, statistics, information security protection and attacks, and "sold" some of his research results to Google, NSA and the Great Wall system, so that the Pentagon was aware of the latest development trend of Huateng and China's network security technology in 2006. In the end, such a powerful prism plan would not have been formed, much stronger and more terrifying than the prism plan of another historical dimension.

With their dominance in the semiconductor industry, especially in the chip and network technology industries, the United States and the NSA can easily establish a cyber hegemony with absolute superiority.

In this situation, China needs Huateng Company, and the world needs Huateng Company.

This is the result that Xu Teng wants, everyone needs Huateng Company.

He has never been a good person in the true sense of the word, and he must have a trump card to ensure the safety and unlimited value of the wealth of the entire Huayin Consortium.

He is the unique final boss in every movie.

He has never been to Russia, because for the past ten years, he has not only invested in the technology industry in Russia, but has also been working with Russia to help them find the most suitable internal shortcomings of the NSA.

He knew that the Snow incident was about to erupt, and that it was with his covert support that it would have even more destructive power.

The FSB FBS has basically gotten most of the information on Project Prism and the Witches, and they are left with one last thing left, a clever way to detonate it and make an intelligence agent embedded in the NSA, an "American" intelligence agent with a good track record, fight for the freedom of humanity.

The NSA's Prism Program is so powerful and developing so fast that it is far beyond Xu Teng's expectations, but there is one thing that also exceeds his expectations -- the "mimic network defense and attack theory" proposed by Academician Y is also beyond everyone's expectations, so that the weak in the cyber world have the ability to play games with the strong.

Dr. Lu 4.0 created by Xu Teng has always been based on defense to avoid exposing the actual level of Huateng in the field of AI, but on the basis of "deep learning theory of neuron-like system" and "mimic network defense and attack theory", a new event was born that Xu Teng, NSA, and FBS were completely unpredictable.

It's in Sweden.

An NSA thought it could attack the weak areas of Xu Teng and Hua Teng, and the core AI "witch" of the prism system was modified by the "Dr. Lu 4.0 Illusion Master".

This means that the more the Pentagon and the NSA rely on "witches", the more their classified data will be lost.

Ultimately, the United States itself is to blame for all this.

In President Bush's era, the United States was blindly superstitious about its own military strength, and as a result, it became mired in the Middle East, which led to the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis;

In the era of President Obam, the United States began to change its strategy, relying entirely on the so-called soft power and smart power, in a vain attempt to weaken China, Russia, and Europe through proxy wars and cyber attacks hosted by intelligence agencies, so as to achieve the effect of continuing to maintain US hegemony...... Xu Teng only needs to make them realize the great value of the combination of AI and cyber attack technology through a special channel between himself and the White House, and they will jump into this trap themselves.

Now, Xu Teng wants to make the Pentagon's dependence on "witches" enter a new era, and he will let "witches" have the strength of "super DeepMind", and the NSA will not realize this, because they will believe that all this is because the "witch" system has reached the qualitative change point predicted by the "deep learning theory of neuron-like systems", and when the scale of AI's self-learning and correction reaches a limit, they will usher in a qualitative change.

As Xu Teng said, we are human beings, we are the most hypocritical higher beings, and we always have a way to make the world worse.

He changed the world, changed history, and created a new world that was even more terrifying.

……

Xu Teng's speech at the Reichstag soon shook the world with German and European media coverage.

As Xu Teng left the Reichstag and drove to the Hyatt Regency Berlin, where he was staying, a collective meeting of the co-partners was held to coordinate all the travel arrangements for his visit to Germany...... Hackers around the world are launching attacks on the United States and the NSA, which are being carried out with the support of dozens of covert overseas funds, and there are many of them who are born out of basic patriotism.

The attack will last for several days, and hackers from China, Europe, and Russia will be involved in the attack, and the United States will be the defender and counterattack, and in the end there will be a result that is beyond expectations.

In the conference room on the 22nd floor of the hotel, Xu Teng seemed to know nothing about it, drinking a cup of hot coffee elegantly and casually, holding an electronic pen in his hand, chatting and laughing with all the co-partners at the conference table.

When the scheduled time for the conference room was approaching, everyone was ready to go downstairs for dinner.

Xu Teng suddenly received the preliminary statistical financial report of the consortium in 2012 from the Jiangzhou headquarters, he took a general look, and chose to send it to all the joint partners present, reminding everyone with a smile, "Don't worry, the data level of these consortium's annual financial reports is very high, and we will transmit it directly through the satellite system and will not be intercepted by the prism system...... However, this email from Prime Minister Meker is not easy to say. ”

Among the dozens of newly received emails, Xu Teng found the email just sent by Prime Minister Meker, and dozens of seconds ago, Dr. Lu clearly marked a red label, which means that it has been intercepted by the witch and prism system.

Chancellor Meker did not seem to believe what Xu Teng was saying, and blamed Xu Teng for choosing to make such a speech without warning at the Reichstag, which she did not want to trigger a diplomatic incident between the United States and Germany.

This is a very short email.

Prime Meker uses her smartphone to write and send.

Apparently, at least 5 chips in her smartphone have custom backdoors, and every move is under the watchful eye of the witch.

This is the advantage that the United States has in the war of cyber attacks.

"Respected Prime Minister, I am sorry for my faux pas, I promise that I will not do anything to embarrass Germany, and if Germany needs help, Huateng is ready to help. Also, I'm sorry to say that all of our services are available for a fee. Xu Teng used his Huateng tablet PC to quickly write a reply, and then signaled everyone to hurry up and read the annual financial reports of their respective business departments and group companies.

"The chairman's meaning doesn't need to be clear, dinner will be here, everyone don't order anything too greasy, burgers, sandwiches, milk tea and coffee, let's have a meeting while eating." Li Daxiao simply made it clear that the idea of drinking two drinks with the other co-partners would take at least another two hours.

Xu Teng is already looking through the annual performance report of the entire Huateng company, and there is nothing to add, obviously, Vice Chairman Li Daxiao has made his meaning very clear, and he will leave after finishing everything.

In 2010 and 2011, the global economic situation was not very good, and it was difficult to make money.

In 2012, this trend is more obvious, global capital is shrinking from the real economy, more flocking to the financial industry and financial derivatives market, especially the European market, where the real economy is the lowest, and the scale of the futures and financial derivatives market finally surpassed the United States in November 2012.

This has 3 serious consequences.

1. It is more difficult to borrow money for the real economy in Europe, and the capital flow is becoming tighter, showing two major trends: monetary tightening of the real economy and bubble of the virtual economy;

2. The threat of the European financial industry to Wall Street has risen sharply;

3. The United States is going to be ruthless against Europe.

China's lack of sufficient financial industry and financial derivatives market to absorb capital, has produced a completely different situation - 1. Medium and low-end overcapacity and investment bubbles; 2. Capital flows overseas.

This is the reason why the Huayin consortium launched three world-class mergers and acquisitions in a row in 2012, and the huge monetary easing policy was in the late stage of 4 trillion yuan, and there was a lack of sufficient investment projects in China.

Of course, the early tightening of 2011 still had an effect.

Throughout the 2012 fiscal year, the net profit of the Huayin consortium increased by 17.3% compared with 2011, and the A-share market, after falling to the bottom, also began to rebound rapidly from June last year, and capital spilled over to the stock market again.

All right.

Xu Teng admitted that he was manipulating the stock market, and there was no way, from insurance funds to wealth management funds, the trust capital and private equity funds managed by the Huayin Consortium in China were as high as 2.74 trillion.

With the property market becoming saturated, there is nowhere else to go but the stock market.

He will not be stupid enough to use domestic capital to buy the bottom of Europe, and the domestic futures market is too small, and the ratio of RMB pricing power to international commodity futures is too low.

Then you can only manipulate the stock market, pull the stock market up, and pull out a big long-term line from 2013.

Well, that's why his worth rose to $513 billion in November 2013, and in half a year, the A-share China AMC 500 Composite Index was pulled up by 30% by the Huayin consortium.

Market rumors that the new leadership has asked the Huayin consortium to support China's economy...... A-shares are so naïve, they like this kind of gossip.

There were rumors first, and then there were sudden all-round warmings in A-shares, which continued to rise, and the market will continue to develop towards a bull market after every shock...... Everyone believed it, and Xu Teng began to stand up for the stock market.

Right.

Everyone guessed correctly, as long as Xu Teng wants to save the market, it will be a matter of a few days, unless the market is at a high level of more than 4,000 points, as long as it is lower than 3,000 points, he can cover the sky with one hand.

What's more, in June 2012, it has fallen to an unprecedented 1949 points, well, this is also operated by the Huayin consortium, in order to squeeze retail investors out of the game, get enough chips and then pull up.

Now, it's as simple as speculating in A-shares, Huaxia Securities' comprehensive analysis of the stock market is what you have to see, Huaxia Securities says that the market is going to rise, you should buy it quickly, Huaxia Securities says that the risk of the market increases, you sell it quickly.

If you have to believe in your own intelligence, you are adding to your own blockage.

In the conference room of the Hyatt Regency Berlin Hotel, Xu Teng spent 30 minutes reading the comprehensive annual report of the consortium, and was generally very satisfied, with the advantages of communications, smart phones, semiconductors, panels, storage, new energy, electrical and automation systems growing significantly, and the growth of the home appliance field has also reached a new height.

In the network technology market, Zhongqu Group has established its position as the world's largest e-commerce group in one fell swoop after its listing, and Tencent Group's revenue growth in the fields of games, advertising, ERP software, information security, cloud computing, and big data is very stable.

Yongtai Chemical's merger and acquisition of Syngenta, and Huateng Seiko's merger and acquisition of Prima are also considered perfect endings.

The only question left is the acquisition of Ford Motor by Luxeng Motors, and the US Foreign Investment Review Board has not yet given a final answer, and theoretically there is no reason for the US side to oppose the merger.

All the joint partners have read their respective group annual reports, and they are basically very satisfied, especially several joint partners in the financial field, I am afraid they could not be more satisfied.

Xu Teng was about to say a few words, when he suddenly received a text message from the White House, in which he informed Xu Teng a few days in advance before the official announcement that the president vetoed the merger of Watteng and Ford on the grounds of "respecting the traditions of American industry."

What can Xu Teng say, shrug his shoulders.

He pressed the screen, forwarded the email to all the co-partners present, and then told Chen Zhixin, chairman of Huateng Automobile Group, "Agree to the conditions offered by Scania Group, and tonight, you will negotiate with Volkswagen Group!" ”

Scania Group, Europe's seven largest manufacturers of heavy trucks and luxury buses, is the best choice to make up for the shortcomings of Watteng Automobile's current technology and product line, and the biggest difficulty of this merger and acquisition is not the Yinruida consortium behind the Scania Group, but the Volkswagen Group.

Although the Volkswagen Group only holds 36% of the shares of the Scania Group, it has 70% veto power of the board of directors, which means that no matter how high the price of other companies is for the acquisition, as long as the Volkswagen Group vetoes it, the merger will never go through.

What exactly is Xu Teng playing, even the co-partners present may not be completely clear, at the most critical moment of the merger and acquisition of Huateng Automobile and Ford Motor, he suddenly made a move to anger the White House, what is this trying to do?

Quite simply, he repented and gave up on acquiring Ford.

This is a very complicated matter, the key issue is the return on investment, the benefits of the acquisition of Ford Group have 3 points, 1, Ford's current stock price is very low, Xu Teng personally estimates that around 2015, Ford's share price can roughly increase by more than 40%, mainly because of the impact of the collapse of oil prices on the automobile industry; 2. Ford Group's Ford Auto Loan Financing Company is a real high-quality asset; 3. Ford Group's brand and product line.

Therefore, Xu Teng is willing to raise $34 billion to acquire the Ford Group, and industrial integration is only part of the goal, mainly a financial investment behavior, borrowing money to buy stocks, and then spinning off and cashing out.

Just by producing cars after mergers and acquisitions, you can make a few cents.

Xu Teng's "deepening integration" led in 2011 is still very successful, so the debt ratio of the Huayin consortium is relatively low now, and it is not bad to borrow more money to do an asset investment business that makes sure you don't lose money.

The problem now is that Xu Teng decided to do another business and make money in another way, and the core goal is, of course, to operate the stock market...... It's a quick way to make money.

In recent years, the Baufort Automobile Alliance has not been smooth sailing, and the cooperation between The-ShunFamliy and the Quandt family in Germany has not always been smooth, and the rebound of the Quandt family is relatively tough on The-ShunFamliy's continuous increase in the stake in the BMW Group after 2008.

In response, Xu Teng is also expanding cooperation with the two families of Volkswagen's Piëch and Porsche, which is even more complicated to say.

That's how business is done, there really are no permanent allies.

In short, in the two companies of Volkswagen and Porsche, in the middle of the vicious battle between the two families of Piëch and Porsche, through the fight against hedge funds, the Huayin consortium made a lot of money, and held 24% of the shares of Volkswagen.

On the other hand, the Huayin consortium took advantage of the crisis in 2008 to take a 33% stake in the Ford Group and a 27% stake in the BMW Group.

Xu Teng's plan has always been to hold the initiative in his own hands through asset operation and equity acquisition, which is his style, and at present, the effect is not good.

During his visit to Europe, he discussed a secret agreement with Volkswagen Group Chairman Ferdinand Piëch...... The Huayin consortium withdrew from the Baofuhua alliance and formed an alliance with the Volkswagen Group.

Once this news leaked, it was definitely heartbreaking news for the automotive industry and enthusiasts all over the world, and love was no longer believed.

There is no way, doing business is the same as selling art, there has never been much discipline, whoever drives at a high price will fall to which side, not to mention that the cooperation between Huateng Automobile and BMW Group seems to be beautiful, but it is actually difficult to explain.

When Xu Teng arrived in Germany for a visit, he still had not made a final decision, and the White House sent him a text message through the White House chief of staff, informing him in advance that the merger of "Huateng Automobile and Ford Motor" had failed, but in fact, he still wanted to raise the asking price.

Xu Teng is also tired of it, the White House has been holding the Ford merger and acquisition case in his hands, negotiating with him repeatedly, and the price is getting higher and higher, as if Ford's real MB is very valuable, and what technology does the real MB have that the Huayin consortium cares about.

If it weren't for the shameless repeated tossing and turning of the White House, and if it weren't for the insatiable greed of the Quandt family, Xu Teng might not have considered the proposal of the Volkswagen Group very seriously...... In fact, the Volkswagen Group, like the BMW Group and the United States, all parties are convinced that the Chinese will not be able to do a good job in the automobile industry and will always rely on them.

The White House is convinced that the Huayin consortium is imperative to Ford Motor Company, and has the background of the government's intentions to improve the overall level of China's auto industry.

Taking advantage of the importance of the technical cooperation framework between the two sides to Huateng, the Quandt family has firmly held the controlling stake in the BMW Group, and has continuously coerced the Huayin consortium to support the Quandt family to increase its stake in Dresterbank and SAP.

It's not easy to do business.

Xu Teng was not forced to a dead end by both sides, there is still room for negotiation, as long as he retreats again, this matter can be overcome.

In a few years, after the acquisition of Ford by Huateng Automobile is completely successful, the Huayin consortium will be able to gradually use the four automobile R&D centers and platforms in the United States, the United Kingdom, China and Sweden to gradually get rid of the technology dependence on the BMW Group.

Xu Teng just felt bored.

In fact, those staff members in the White House have a sick brain, and so do the Quandt family.

It makes no difference whether the Huayin consortium acquires Ford or not, because the entire Huayin consortium already holds a 37.3% stake in Ford Motor Company, which is only the last 13% away from a controlling position.

The Ford Family Foundation also holds a 9.3% stake in the Ford Group.

Even if the merger fails, as long as the two sides take advantage of the collapse of Ford's stock price and jointly increase their holdings, they can still exceed the 51% control line.

For the Quandt family, the core of the entire Baofuhua Automobile Alliance is actually the capital power of the Huayin Consortium, and Huateng Automobile will kick BMW out of the competition and unite with the Volkswagen Group to form a new Huafuzhong Alliance.

BMW is really going to be kicked out, and all its advantages over the Volkswagen Group over the years are gone.

Taking 10,000 steps back, with the overall strength of the Huayin Consortium and its understanding of the BMW Group, it is easy to poach BMW's core technical team.

Therefore, Xu Teng felt that the Quandt family and the BMW Group had a brain disease, so he never realized this.

Doing business, sometimes it's so boring.

In the past two years, Xu Teng has actually been a little helpless, although he has always kept a preparation, but he is really forced to use a preparation, he feels really not so happy, and when he uses the preparation, it is depressing in all aspects.

As for the Volkswagen Group, don't overestimate it, it's also a mess on their side.

In the past few years, the automotive industry has been chaotic and miserable.
