Chapter 212: It's Hard to Ride a Tiger!

In this era when the United States went to war and capital was overflowing, it was not easy to make capital investment, and Mr. Xu was actually in a weak state in Facebook's third venture capital, and he didn't even have the opportunity to chat with Xiaozha for a few minutes. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Although Mr. Xu has money, he still asked John Wally, the CEO of the British Phoenix Capital Group and the former CFO of Barclays Bank, to negotiate, but Xiao Zha obviously trusts the American capitalists more and ranks the British Phoenix Capital last.

"Isn't it?" Xu Teng just estimated yesterday that it would be easy for Mr. Xu to win half of Facebook's equity, but he didn't expect that this would hit the reef, and now he can only go out in person.

At this time, Xu Teng was changing clothes in the locker room, and Chen Shufen, the former senior public relations manager of JWT Advertising Media Group, joined his assistant team as the chief public relations consultant and senior assistant, and soon formulated a new image plan for him.

Implement it from today.

Xu Teng began to wear a white professional shirt of Dunhill and Burberry, with a black narrow-brimmed tie, no cufflinks, and try to roll up his sleeves.

This is his new image positioning, he has to be like this until he is thirty years old, and he has always been positioned as a white-faced character in the workplace, an intern in a large company who has just graduated.

In short, this is a vague image between the workplace elite and college students, which is conducive to strengthening people's impression of his college student entrepreneurship, and is conducive to young people having more good feelings about him, and having a good impression of him is a good impression of Tencent and TT Alliance, and a good impression of Huateng Automobile.

While changing his clothes, he wore Bluetooth headsets and chatted with Mr. Xu, "Are you sure Phoenix Capital can't handle this matter?"

"It's hard to say now, of course we can offer a higher price, I'm afraid that a week later, when it's our turn to intervene in the negotiations, everyone else will sign the contract. Mr. Xu panicked, although he had successfully fooled Xiaozha twice, the first time was Xu Liangjie, the founder of Google, and the second time was the consultant lawyer of the family foundation in Nevada.

For the third time, Mr. Xu sent John Wally, the former CFO of Barclays.

For the fourth time, Xu Teng will make a shining debut, buying shares at a sky-high price, raising the price to prepare for Facebook's IPO listing.

As a result, the third time it was actually going to be messed up.

"Don't worry, I'll try to arrange a trip to the United States, maybe even if I go, it's useless. Xu Teng couldn't say clearly, but he definitely still had to go, so he sent a text message to Han Dai and asked her to arrange the trip.

"You go to the United States as soon as possible, if you have the opportunity to meet the other party, then talk to him directly, I feel that this Xiaozha has been too angry recently, and it is not easy to deal with it." "Mr. Xu is actually a little angry, the fat in his mouth has run away, can he not be in a hurry?

Mr. Xu has been unfavorable before, fooling Apple, Google, Amazon, PayPal, and flix, especially Apple, which can be called a classic Harvard-level investment case, without causing any abnormal market fluctuations, at an average premium of 35%, the actual price of less than $1.75 a share, to obtain 57% of Apple's shares and three board seats.

This time, Mr. Xu fooled Xiaozha twice in a row, and only used 3.25 million US dollars to set up 1/3 of the shares, and was preparing to raise funds twice in one go, completely winning more than 51% of the controlling stake, but he actually missed.

Even the wise can make mistakes.

Mr. Xu's two previous family trusts that he used to invest in Facebook, both registered in Nevada, and there was no information on the Internet, investing $500,000 in May and an additional $3 million in July.

It's obviously too much of a rush to continue to give $15 million and get Facebook done completely.

"Your speed is a little too fast, the other party is two college students, they don't understand the situation at all, and they just want to calm down. Xu Teng felt that Mr. Xu was thinking too much, if his estimate was correct, the first two financings of the Xu family were given too quickly, so that Facebook quickly entered the category of drumming and passing flowers, attracting the attention of too many investors.

However, if he is Xiaozha, before the capital is used up, and the number of customers is not drastically increased to a new scale level, he will definitely not easily introduce new capital, resulting in the early sale of the company.

"Are you sure?" Mr. Xu sighed, thinking about it carefully, he also felt that he was indeed a little scared of the other party by letting Phoenix Capital make a move this time.

"Let's wait until I go to the United States. Xu Teng saw that Hua Lingling chose another set of shirts, entered the bedroom, and immediately hung up the phone, he could understand Mr. Xu's eagerness, this was the last opportunity for the Xu family to seize to make a fortune.

Since then, the Xu family can only rely on the wealth and connections they have accumulated to move forward slowly.

Mr. Xu didn't know that Facebook's strength came largely from the momentum of various investment consortiums, as well as the continuous mergers and acquisitions of new network companies in the later period, from social networking companies to technology-based companies.

At least at this stage, the largest, most popular, and most valuable social networking site in the United States is Myspace.

It's a mysterious minefield, MySpace will soon be bought by Murdoch's News Corporation, and News Corp., which doesn't understand online technology, is busy making profits, and finally plays MySpace to death.

At the same time, MySpace is more like Tencent's QQ space, focusing too much on personalization and self-presentation, and lacking real social value.

Xu Teng launched the campus network as early as 2003, although it has real social value, it is a bit unsuitable in China, and it is difficult to exert the power of Facebook.

Tencent Group is the largest social networking service provider in China, with six social networking sites: Dazhong Life.com, Tongcheng.com, QQ Space, Campus Network, Tianya Community, and Maopu Community.

At present, the best way to really do SNS social is actually the public life network, which has turned from the largest classified information network in China in 2003 to the development of SNS social network.

Xu Teng usually talks and chats with Xiao Qingya, encouraging her to reform her business, and it is also interesting to finally develop to this level.

Dazhong is a very interesting website, there are a lot of ideas in Xu Teng and Xiao Qingya on QQ long-distance chat, when users register, first of all, they must determine their life range on the map every day, select cities and streets, and the surrounding store evaluations will appear.

This is the business that started and then expanded into social networks, where the website does not announce the location of the other person, but will tell you how far apart you are, it could be a hundred meters, it could be five hundred meters.

The mass dating feature is now a bit like dating artifacts in the direction of development, and it's also because of this.

Because the future of Dazhong is very good, Xu Teng gave birth to a new idea in April, merging Dazhong Life Network and eBay into Zhongqu Group, which was later used to kill Ali, but secondly, but it is not too pitted, it is just to dismantle Ali's team.

During this time, Xu Teng has been considering how feasible it is to promote the internationalization process of the public network, and it is difficult for him to say clearly, the Chinese world and the English-speaking world are two very different business environments.

When Xu Teng went downstairs for breakfast, Mei Jiali and Xia Li had already eaten.

"I'm going to Beijing today, do you want to go together?" Mei Jiali looked at Xu Teng and reminded him that it was time to go to see Zeng Quinoa, and if he didn't go, he would break up.

"Let's go together at noon. Xu Teng still has classes in the morning, and about Zeng Quinoa, he sometimes calls to ask about the situation, which sounds like he should be very busy, and he will only take two days off on weekends without film appointments.

Zeng Quinoa gave up living in this home by herself, and she tried, and finally realized that this was not the life she wanted.

Xu Teng can only express his understanding of this.

In this world, there is no 100% perfect choice, and if you choose to get something, you will inevitably lose something.

Xu Teng's living environment is very complicated, Zeng Quinoa chose to continue his acting career, which is more dangerous for Xu Teng, and they will not be able to live together for a long time.

Xia Li also wants to say goodbye to the road of a singer for this reason, to be a simple female hostess, the media attention is very low, there were two programs originally, and she recently hosted a program.

Xu Teng was drinking a cup of yogurt and was thinking about Zeng Quinoa, Hua Lingling came over to report, "Young master, Chairman Song of China Resources came to visit you." ”

"Alone?" Xu Teng suddenly felt that this was a little strange.

"Alone!" Hua Lingling nodded.

"Then wait 5 minutes and then invite him in, and say I've just gotten up. Xu Teng asked the waitress next to him to change a cup of coffee, pondering about it, it is said that Song Lin and Wang Yan are actually not harmonious, I don't know if it's true or not.

"Good. Hua Lingling left the restaurant first, notified the security, and then let Chairman Song Lin of China Resources enter the Lily Mansion in 5 minutes.

The Emerald Lake Manor where Xu Teng lives is a three-layer defense line, the outermost layer is the entire Emerald Lake community, and the second layer is this top villa area in the southwest area of Emerald Lake.

The innermost layer is the exterior shrub wall and gate of Lily's Mansion.

At this time, Chairman Song just entered the Huxi area by car and went to 127# along the road.

"Then I'll send Xia Li to school first. Mei Jiali put down the coffee cup and motioned for Xia Li to leave with her, not to disturb Xu Teng's business.

"Alas, I really want to drop out, every day is the most boring class. Xia Li sighed helplessly, she transferred to the School of Journalism, which is better than the music department, with her primary school level, it is easy to get a first- or second-class scholarship in the liberal arts department.

However, the course was really boring, not at all what she expected.

Xu Teng laughed and got up to send Goddess Shuangli away.

Soon.

Chairman Song Lin's black Mercedes-Benz drove into the mansion and stopped outside the central ring fountain.

To be precise, Song Lin is the vice chairman of China Resources, and he may be dissatisfied with Vanke, but the chairman above is too old, but he is very satisfied with Vanke.

At this time, Song Lin was in his prime, wearing a tailored dark blue twill suit and a red tie, his biggest competitor had been transferred to COFCO, and the chairman was elderly and suspended.

Xu Teng returned to the restaurant and continued to eat, breakfast was fried potato soup with diced beef, a bacon egg cake, a cup of yogurt, about half of it, and he was reading the newspaper.

As for Song Bu Song and Lin Bulin, he didn't bother to get up to greet him.

Song Lin actually deliberately waited at the door, and when he found that only a young beauty in a hakama suit came out to greet him, he was slightly stunned and asked Hua Lingling, "Are you?"

"Hello, I am the chief foreman of the mansion, you can be my butler next to the young master, please come with me. Hua Lingling smiled toothlessly, was gentle and decent, and invited Song Lin to follow her into Lily's Mansion.

"Oh!" Song Lin remained silent, sneering in his heart, this Xu Teng is really good at posing, and he actually plays this set in front of him. At this moment, Song Lin forgot a very important thing, in terms of worth, he is not even a fraction of Xu Teng's, official or not, business or businessman, at least in Xu Teng's eyes, he has neither real power nor real assets.

This Lily Mansion is luxuriously decorated, and it is also a combination of two top neoclassical mansions, pure granite stone walls and walls, solemn and magnificent, imposing, and extraordinarily elegant and beautiful.

Song Lin entered the mansion and took a general look, and he had to admire, no matter whether the Xu family's money came from the right way or not, it was a fact that he was rich.

The construction area of this mansion of more than 3,000 square meters is indeed big enough and magnificent, when Song Lin followed Hua Lingling to the restaurant, Xu Teng just finished breakfast, wiped his lips with a napkin, wiped his hands with wet wipes, and got up with a smile to invite Song Lin.

The two shook hands and met, so there was no need to introduce anything to each other.

"Chairman Xu's mansion is really good, I have been to many mansions in Hong Kong, even if it is the mansion of Li Ka-shing, the fourth uncle and the gambling king, it is nothing more than that. Song Lin also looked around the restaurant, which was located on the southeast corner of the first floor of the entire mansion, facing the windows on both sides, just to look at the scenery outside.

"Chairman Song has a good reputation, please take a seat. Xu Teng first invited the other party to sit down in the restaurant, invited the other party to have morning tea, and reminded him by the way, "You don't have to be too polite, just call me Xiao Xu." ”

"Okay, then I'm welcome, speaking of which, when your father was the president of the Kangbao Group in the United States, I met him a few times, and he was very powerful and very good at business. Song Lin seemed to praise sincerely, and then changed his words, "However, your father has been a little unsophisticated recently, not only wants to acquire Vanke, it is said that Boan Group also wants to buy Sanjiu Group recently, and the two businesses are not easy to get along with us, isn't it okay?"

"Chairman Song, I'll be honest, I never ask my father's business, I'm very busy, he is also very busy, if you ask him about my situation, he doesn't know anything. Xu Teng told him calmly that he still knew a little about Vanke, and he knew even less about the business of Sanjiu Group.

He only heard Chairman Li Jinfang say at the second annual meeting that the approval of the SASAC for the restructuring of Sanjiu Group has come down, and it must be a good opportunity for Boan Group.

"Impossible, without your support, where did he get such a big cash flow and acquire Vanke and Sanjiu Group at the same time?" Song Lin didn't believe it, the news he verified was similar to Vanke Lao Wang, it is said that Xu Dachang first relied on the support of Huang Xinzhou of the Jiangtai Department to start selling health care products, and later during the period when Amway was the head of East China, he developed his own health care product marketing team, and made a lot of money by making several health care products with good sales.

Amway is a loose direct selling company, basically except for the head office, the periphery is all part-time.

Mr. Xu did Amway while doing his own miscellaneous health care products, which was by no means a violation, and then began to invest in Boan Group, 99 years to invest in Kangbao Group, in 2001 to invest in Asia Satellite TV.

These things can be confirmed.

In addition, there is an unverifiable rumor, which is widely spread in the circle of Guangdong Province, it is said that Xu Dachang's team has made dozens of health care products and made tens of billions of capital.

Song Lin has analyzed with Wang Yan during this time, the statement of tens of billions of capital is too exaggerated and impossible, but it must be doing private equity and sitting in the bank, as for how big Boan Group is, it is difficult to say.

Although Boan Group is a listed company in Hong Kong, it is only a part of the listed assets of Boan Holdings, and very few people know what the part that is not listed is like.

There are different opinions in the circles of Guangdong Province, some people say that Bo'an has small real estate companies in the country, and some people say that Bo'an has dozens of private hospitals in the country.

Song Lin and Wang Yan's analysis conclusion is similar, Xu Dachang's shareholding in Boan Group will not be too low, but it will not threaten Chairman Li Jinfang, otherwise, he would have been the chairman of Boan Group a long time ago.

According to this estimate, the capital in Xu Dachang's hands should be in the billions, and the key is that he and Ding Fugen, Zhang Yanling, and Li Daxiao are in a nest of snakes and rats, and they are crazy in the stock market, and the private equity capital under his control may be as high as 20 billion.

Song Lin came over this time to warn Xu Dachang through Xu Teng that it was okay to play stocks and engage in capital operations, but it was better to stay away from the China Resources Department, and if he wanted to grab food in the tiger's mouth, he was afraid that he would die ugly.

"Although Sanjiu Group has a few good products, it is a mess after all, Li Jinfang is also a tycoon in the pharmaceutical industry, she really wants Sanjiu Group, China Resources can still let it go, but in the matter of Vanke, I suggest that it is safer for your Xu family to retreat. Song Lin tried his best to restrain his tone, like small talk, and did not directly deter Xu Teng, after all, he was the richest man in China, and this was not a joke.

"Why?" Xu Teng was actually a little curious, he could see that Song Lin was not bluffing.

"Lao Ning has also been very flamboyant in China Resources over the years, it is useless, the position of chairman has not been his turn, so he simply found a relationship and went to COFCO, our chairman and Wang Yan's father and father-in-law have been friends for many years, so I can't care about Vanke's. ”

Song Lin finally stopped hiding his dissatisfaction with Vanke, "There are eleven members of Vanke's board of directors, and we China Resources are the largest shareholder, in fact, we just give me a position, and the annual financial report is very beautiful, but it doesn't give me any face at all." I'm not polite to say that these people have been spoiled and don't take major shareholders seriously at all, so I didn't go to the year-end meeting in the past two years. You now add up to 10% of the shares, it's useless, they won't give you a seat on the board at all. Those independent directors all took our money, spoke for Wang Yan, and voted for Wang Yan's face. Because of the board of directors charter formulated by them, we are basically regarded as ****, you are the second largest shareholder, I am the largest shareholder, in their eyes are ****, and giving us a little dividend is considered a benefit given by them. ”

"Xiaopo's company is very high, right?" Xu Teng roughly understood what Song Lin meant, it wasn't that Song Lin wanted to protect the other party, and he couldn't get used to it, but the chairman above spoiled Vanke.

Although Song Lin is the CEO of a state-owned enterprise, like Xu Teng and Xu Dachang, he is a predator in the capital market, and he has the same disgust for this kind of company that regards major shareholders as **** through the articles of association of the board of directors.

"Little brother, this is beautiful!" Song Lin gave a thumbs up, got up and took off his suit, and asked Xu Teng, "Let's get along with each other, have two drinks?"

"Okay, what do you want to drink?" Xu Teng beckoned Hua Lingling over and prepared to let her go to the wine cellar to get wine.

"What's the best thing you have here?" Song Lin estimated that Xu Teng had everything here, and wanted to get the best bottle to drink, he was different from Xu Teng, he was the CEO of a state-owned enterprise, and he didn't enjoy it when he had the right in hand, so he would enjoy it after retirement?

"Château Lafite in '82. Xu Teng said a very vulgar choice, and it is estimated that the other party is more interested.

"Really?" Song Lin couldn't be sure, 82 Château Lafite was very precious, but in fact, there was basically no genuine product, and he had drunk it once in the two years he had been in office.

"Really. Xu Teng thought for a while and decided to change to another one that the other party must not have drunk, "Drink Margaux, I have six bottles of 74 years old here, which are also the best vintage, and the quantity is even rarer." He made a gesture and motioned for Hua Lingling to choose four bottles of 74-year-old Margaux Manor, drink one bottle, and give three bottles.

"It's still the pleasure of being your own boss. Song Lin is convinced, he has money and pleasure, he buys as much as he wants, China Resources has strict rules and regulations in this regard, and he also has to talk to the boss of a private company to have a chance to enjoy it.

Even so, he really didn't drink the Château Margaux in '74.

The two opened a bottle and tasted it separately.

"Yes, really good. Song Lin was full of praise, put down the wine glass, and gave Xu Teng pointers, "Actually, if you want to win the Sanjiu Group, it is really not difficult, you have long been insolvent, what about Vanke, you give me a face." If you really want to be tough, unless you are the richest man in China, you will not be unreasonable at all, and you will definitely want me to come forward to protect Vanke, and if something goes wrong, it is all my responsibility. In fact, the old immortal has nothing to do with our Vanke, and the retired old cadres who are airborne are really fucked. Lao Ning did such a good job that he still couldn't be the chairman, so he could only retreat to the next best thing and find a relationship to change the leader of a central enterprise. ”

"In other words, if I want to break hard, even if that retired veteran cadre can't solve me at the capital level, he will find trouble for me in other channels?"

After doing it for a long time, Song Lin ostensibly came over to ask Xu Teng to give him a face, don't touch Vanke, but in fact it meant to let Xu Teng hurry up and chop up those hypocritical grandsons, don't give him face.

This is a complete miscalculation of the entire market.

China Resources's dissatisfaction with Vanke was not from Lao Ning's departure from China Resources, but because Lao Ning was very dissatisfied during his tenure, which grew deeper and deeper, but waited until Wang Yan's relationship network was gone, and then cooperated with Chaoshan Merchants to help Vanke.

Others say that Lao Ning and Wang Yan have a good relationship, but in fact, Wang Yan knows in his heart that he was later played like that by the Baoneng Department, and he didn't go to Lao Ning for help.

Baoneng's department is likely to be the white glove of China Resources, and finally expelled Vanke's senior management, and China Resources will come back to ensure that Baoneng will not lose money.

From beginning to end, Wang Yan knew in his heart that he had played China Resources for so many years, and he had always treated others as soft persimmons, and now it is normal to be slapped a few times, so he naturally will not ask China Resources for help, but go to his old boss Shenzhen State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission to solve the trouble.

Interestingly, it was Wang Yan who introduced China Resources and squeezed the Shenzhen State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission out of the bureau.

Now there is only one problem.

Xu Teng drank silently, weighing the whole thing, not sure how much revenge he would incur after cutting Vanke and expelling Wang Yan?

Song Lin really doesn't want to protect the disk, the problem is that the retired old cadres have an order, Song Lin must protect the disk, once something happens, causing a major loss of state-owned assets, Song Lin has to take responsibility.

Therefore, the Xu family and Song Lin are both difficult to ride tigers.

Don't look at Vanke's small handicap, the market value of 15 billion RMB is only, and the relationship network behind the scenes is really rock-solid.

Vanke Lao Wang is also a stream-of-consciousness old coercion, pretending to be confused, claiming that he never deals with the government, bastard, he has such a hard background, who dares to get along with him?

This is holding a bowl with a background, smashing a pot with a background, high-profile pretending, and low-key benefits.

Later, when he was killed, he caused trouble, Evergrande, R&F, Wanda...... Those real estate bosses are probably watching his jokes, and they deserve it! No one saves him!

The farce of Baoneng Department vs Vanke is so hot, who really contributed money to Wang Yan in the end?

Because everyone knows that this is actually China Resources teaching Vanke, for so many years, you have pretended to be enough, and now you have no background and no network, reflect on it, recognize who you are, and who is your boss. (To be continued.) )
