Chapter 198: The richest man in China

Recommended Reading:?

Xu Teng had a lot of troubles during this time, Zhejiang Haina and Jianghuai industrial investment were messed up, and Mei Jiali was ready to switch to the hydropower market, but she was also intimidated by Hanergy and Hanlong, two capital hooligans with hard backgrounds.

In the midst of the difficulties, there were also two things that went very smoothly, one was that the two acquisitions of Huateng Automobile were very successful, and the other was that Tencent Group finally went public on May 2, 2004.

Tencent Group's plan is 2 billion US dollars, equivalent to 15.6 billion Hong Kong dollars, of which 85 is subscribed by brokers, and the opening price of Tencent shares is 39 Hong Kong dollars per share at the opening price of the morning, and then it has risen all the way.

On May 10, it rose to 82 yuan per share, and then fell slightly, and has been fluctuating around 80 yuan per share, and the market value of Tencent Group has also stabilized at 160 billion Hong Kong dollars, about 20.5 billion US dollars, which happens to be the same size as Amazon.

With the share expansion, Xu Teng's personal shareholding has decreased to 70.53, Huateng Charitable Trust Fund holds 37.12 shares, and his personal shareholding is 33.4, and his personal net worth has reached 14.3 billion US dollars in just one week.

The reason is very simple, the outstanding shares released by Tencent to the stock market only account for 17% of the total share capital, and most of the chips have been absorbed by Huayin and several other Hong Kong business giants, and the stock price is naturally high.

According to the actual revenue scale and net profit, Tencent's profit scale is four times that of Amazon, and it is normal for the market value to exceed twice that of Amazon if it is really listed on the NASDAQ, which is currently extremely loose in terms of total funds.

Of course, that is extremely unfavorable to Xu Teng, especially for his shareholding of more than 7%, the dividend tax and capital income tax of US stocks are very high, and the Hong Kong stocks are not a dime tax.

$14.3 billion, $118.2 billion.

This class is a bit scary in the mainland, almost ten times the second place, even according to the Greater China evaluation, he is firmly in the top three, or even the first place.

This is the part that sees the light, and it is not much worse than the part that does not see the light, and he estimates that it will not be much worse than others.

The May storm has just begun.

On May 14, 2004, Tencent announced that it would purchase Blizzard Entertainment from Vivendi Group at a price of US$1.05 billion, and on the 17th, it continued to invest US$520 million to purchase the RN travel website in the United States at a premium of 15, with a total shareholding of 45 and voting rights of 13.

Two consecutive mergers and acquisitions mean that Tencent has begun to expand more internationally after becoming the No. 1 player in the domestic network technology industry, and Tencent Group's share price has continued to rise to 103 yuan per share.

Throughout May, all domestic media basically reported on Xu Teng and Tencent intensively, but fortunately, Xu Teng had taken precautions and carried out a large-scale public relations and image reshaping half a year in advance.

Rich two, gentlemen, playboys, these negative energy things cannot be erased, and it is a fool not to be able to be the masses.

Tencent deliberately filmed a lace video called "The Richest Man's Day", followed Xu Teng all day, and then edited into a three-minute video and posted it on Tencent.com, in fact, there is nothing to see, go out in the morning and take the car to school, in class, sit in the corner, look at the information quietly, and secretly play some computer games.

After class, I went to the computer center with my classmates to play Warcraft and Magic Sword, and fought in a group.

Eat in the staff canteen at noon, chat with a few friends, go to the company in the afternoon to sort out the work reports of various departments, hold a few meetings, and go home in the evening.

In fact, in the daily encyclopedia, Xu Teng's information was updated on a large scale in mid-May, and most of the things were made public, and there were not many secrets to speak of.

For example, his favorite clothing brands are Jeanswest and Dunhill, his favorite food is mochi, mixed sauce noodles, donkey meat roast and Weizhou cuisine, and his favorite toothpaste is black people, which is no different from most young people.

For example, he originally just wanted to be lazy and get a diploma in one of the three colleges, and write science fiction novels and movie scripts comfortably.

For example, he was plagiarized by the vicious competition of Huaxia Network Company, and when the opponent took out hundreds of millions of capital to promote, he could only promote the Tiantian Soft series for free, and use the bundling strategy of free software to protect Tiantian Navigation, so that there was a later alliance.

After years of hard work, he became the richest man in the mainland, the youngest of China's 100 richest people, and probably the most handsome, Xu Teng's image finally recovered.

Now I can finally take photos and sell handsome, obviously the richest man in the mainland, but I want to pretend to be a warm-hearted little white-faced school grass, show off the muscle photos of the two ** rooms, show a few photos of the school volleyball team, and show the most down-to-earth college students.

College student yarn!

Every morning when he wakes up, Xu Teng can be resurrected with full blood and usher in an energetic day, because life is too high, and every night is full of passion.

Therefore, it is really accurate to say that a successful man is busy during the day and at night.

In the past few days, the final exam of the third year has finally arrived, and the two classes in the morning are exempted, Xu Teng rarely sleeps until 9 o'clock in the morning before waking up, Xia Li recently made a difficult decision to work as the host of an entertainment program on JAC Satellite TV, which is a transformation for her, because the sales of her last record were not good.

She doesn't like the noisy life of touring around the world, and she doesn't like commercial singing, and Shenzhou Media obviously can't throw resources on her just because she is Xu Teng's little wife.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a few months, she decided to transform, in fact, she was also invited by Jiang Yingyu to co-host a blind date show Youth Lianlian on JAC Satellite TV, one man, two women, and three hosts.

Because she had a location shooting task in the afternoon, she ran early in the morning and felt like this kind of life very much.

Zeng Quinoa also recently made a difficult decision, getting a job as a production assistant at the Yangtze River Film and Television Center, leaving early and returning late every day, busy and busy.

Xu Teng roughly felt that Zeng Quinoa began to miss his past life, and he stayed in his mansion all the time, taking care of the trivial things at home, which did not make her happy.

In modern society, few women are willing to exist as a vassal of a man, and even Xia Li wants to have her own career, even if it is just a small and comfortable job, let alone Zeng Quinoa?

Fortunately, Mei Jiali finally came back from Yunnan Province a few days ago, feeling a little depressed, I didn't expect that it would be so difficult to invest in the hydropower industry in China, she even completed two oil projects in Angola and Brazil, but there was no way to get the investment in hydropower stations.

When Xu Teng woke up hazy, he felt that Mei Jiali was still sleeping next to him, so he held her in his arms and comforted her, but something was wrong, and when he opened his eyes, he didn't expect Mei Jiali to be too ruthless and lose a high-fidelity inflatable doll.

Grass.

Xu Teng slapped the doll away, and ran out of the room angrily to settle accounts with Mei Jiali, is he so miserable that he actually wants to use an inflatable doll?

Who bought it for him with such a bastard?

He ran to the living room in one breath, saw Mei Jiali hiding and laughing evilly, embarrassed to be angry with her, and asked her seriously, "What did you buy that thing for?"

"Ha, what I saw on the Internet, let people go to Japan and buy the best one to make you happy, try it. Mei Jiali also got up very early, early in the morning to think about new investment channels, to read a lot of information and market research reports.

It's just that Xu Teng rarely sleeps lazy, Zeng Quinoa and Xia Li didn't accompany him, and left one after another, Mei Jiali wanted to sleep with Xu Teng for a while, and there were too many things in her heart, thinking about it, she finally thought of the inflatable doll she bought last time to scare Xu Teng, took the opportunity to trick Xu Teng into playing, and secretly took a few commemorative photos.

"Dizzy, then you should let Lingling accompany me next time. Xu Teng happened to see Hua Lingling coming over early, teased, and then went upstairs to take a morning bath. He was originally talking casually, but he didn't expect Hua Lingling to really come over to accompany him.

It's not the first time to come, not to mention that this housekeeper is very fun.

Xu Teng played until ten o'clock before finally going downstairs, eating breakfast in the restaurant, reading the newspaper, Mei Jiali had a lot of headaches, and was still reading the number report on the laptop, and there were more than a dozen reports next to it.

This period of time is the stage of Xu Teng's pride, for the three wives, on the contrary, they have their own difficulties, Xia Li's suffering is that her career is stagnant and the transformation is difficult, Zeng Quinoa is more and more bored to live in a mansion, and misses the free and easy single days in the past.

Mei Jiali's distress is that Xu Teng's business is getting bigger and bigger, squeezing her investment space, and good projects are in Xu Teng's hands.

On the other hand, the rapid expansion of domestic investment in the past two years is squeezing the investment space of Hong Kong and Macao consortiums, and Mei Jiali's Fuxin International is the target of this group of squeezed out, after all, there is still a lack of connections in the mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan capital in the mainland The end of the curtain, basically since 2004, Foxconn is just an example.

Angel investment is responsible for early incubation, venture capital is responsible for medium-term development, private equity funds are responsible for late-stage financing, and investment banks are responsible for listing.

Xu Teng's daily venture capital is a compound type, mainly doing angel investment, but also doing medium-term venture capital, through the guò platform advantages rapidly expanded, attracting private equity funds to cash out, and finally investment banks to intervene to promote listing.

Huayin Galaxy Capital and Phoenix Capital belong to the partnership system, and other senior partners also operate several private placements with an astonishing scale, and Huaxia Securities, a subsidiary of Huaxia Financial Group, belongs to an investment bank, which is a complete investment chain.

Mei Jiali's Fuxin International belongs to trust investment, different are good at different models, Fuxin International is a typical Berkshire model, investment company, long-term participation in operations, such as investment in Shenzhou Media, Xiwan Petroleum, long-term investment in CNOOC.

Last year, she wanted to continue to deepen cooperation with CNOOC to operate the project, and once the project was completed, CNOOC established a new company, and she held about 40 shares for long-term profits.

In April this year, after the project was seized by the Gu family, she changed direction and was introduced by Hong Kong businessmen to Hanergy Group, wanting to invest in Hanergy's hydropower project for a long time.

The Hanlong she later met in Yunnan Province was even more hooligan, making up a fictitious hydropower project to cheat money, and after being exposed, she also sent someone to threaten Mei Jiali.

The golden period of Hong Kong and Macao consortiums in the mainland has gradually become history, and the lack of deep-rooted connections is a hard flaw for Hong Kong and Macao consortiums operating in the mainland, and foreign capital is similar.

Hydropower development in the middle reaches of the Jinsha River, one reservoir of eight levels, eight large hydropower stations, with a total investment of more than 250 billion yuan, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Singapore, which one does not want to take a bite, as a result, from project investment to financing, not a single contract has been obtained.

Hong Kong's richest man can't get it, so where can Mei Jiali get it? The signboard of Hong Kong's richest man doesn't work, but does the signboard of the gambling king still work?

That's the trend.

Why did the gambling king buy Ruilin Mansion in the capital, and finally give up Ruilin Mansion, the reason is here, the general trend is unfavorable, and small tricks are useless.

The general trend is not in favor of Mei Jiali, and Mei Jiali has also encountered another more difficult problem to solve: the ceiling effect of enterprise development.

Although Mei Jiali's Fuxin International is not a listed company, it has an unusually strong capital, which is a trust and investment company, which operates a number of family trust funds of the fourth aunt, Mei Jiali, Xu Teng, and black card members, as well as two wealth management trust funds sold in Hong Kong and Macao, with a capital of more than 7 billion US dollars.

After the gambling king family divided the property, the fourth aunt gave up Fuheng Gaming Group and chose 30% of the shares of Fuxin Group, which is currently also managed by Mei Jiali's Fuxin International Trust.

Xu Teng's trust fund in Fuxin International is worth $3.4 billion, and Mei Jiali herself has $1.16 billion.

The space of the market is limited, and when the capital scale exceeds an order of magnitude, it is not difficult to make a profit, but it is basically impossible to make a high profit.

Mei Jiali's Fuxin International is also a trust and investment company focusing on long-term investment and operation, and it lacks contacts in the mainland, so it is more difficult for a large amount of money to want a suitable project.

Even if we are eyeing the eighth-level investment project of Jinshajiang No. 1 Library, there is no opportunity to intervene.

Mei Jiali can only invest a large amount of capital in the securities of CNOOC, PetroChina and the three major mining groups, while expanding its investment in Xiwan Petroleum Company and cooperating with CNOOC to bid for oil and gas risk exploration off Santos, Brazil.

The oil risk exploration business is a high-risk, high-yield industry and is not suitable for trust investment.

Although the securities investment in commodities has solved the capital investment of Fuxin International, it is not a long-term solution, and Mei Jiali cannot see where the future is.

Xu Teng has a lot of projects in his hands, but he no longer lacks capital, financing is very convenient, even if he asks Mei Jiali to cooperate with the investment, Mei Jiali is not willing to rely on him for a long time, she wants a stage of her own.

Xia Li is unhappy, Zeng Quinoa is unhappy, this is easy to solve, they don't need Xu Teng's help, they just need Xu Teng to give them some space to do what they like.

Mei Jiali is unhappy, it's really hard to solve.

Xu Teng finished breakfast and accompanied Mei Jiali at the dining table to take a look at the People's Daily and the Oriental Financial Weekly, which was just delivered today, which is a project that he and Shenzhou Media and JAC Satellite TV collectively operated.

The three parties established an Oriental Finance Media Company to produce TV columns, Oriental Finance Network and Oriental Finance Weekly.

It's really powerful, today is Xu Teng's cover again, not only there are master-level handsome photos, but also more than a dozen pages of columns analyzing his classic cases, everyone is so hard to praise the boss, he is embarrassed.

A cup of green tea, a weekly roll, two newspapers.

Xu Teng's morning tea time is very quiet, he likes this kind of quietness, whether it is at home or in the company, most of the time is so quiet to enjoy life and work.

Mei Jiali got up early in the morning to analyze domestic and foreign business information and dozens of industry reports, working for five hours, dizzy, pinching her eyebrows and distressed.

Xu Teng beckoned and asked Hua Lingling to send two glasses of Hennessy cognac, add ice cubes, and borrow wine for Mei Jiali to drown her sorrows, and he also accompanied her to have a drink.

"Qingyun Group started from oil smuggling, and is currently the largest private chemical group in Jianghuai Province, and they are the same force as PetroChina and the behind-the-scenes bosses of Hanlong Group, which is why our project will be robbed at the last moment. As for Hanergy Group, of course, it is not simple, if you take a closer look, you will find that most of the executives holding shares of Hanergy Hydropower are relatives of the top management of the power system. ”

Xu Teng drank this glass of iced cognac, turned around Mei Jiali's computer, searched for some information, and helped her analyze Fuxin International's investment plan, "Project, I will find a way to get it back, don't worry." However, in the long run, it will be difficult to reverse the decline of the Intertrust Group in the mainland, so you might as well use this time to completely reorganize the entire Intertrust Group, move the registered place to Macau, and try to operate under the banner of the Macau consortium. ”

He took out a pencil and drew a corporate structure chart on the paper, and Jianyi Mei Jiali officially incorporated Intertrust International into the Macau bank of Intercredit, with Intercredit Bank Company as the parent company, and Forxin Securities, Intertrust Insurance, and Intertrust Land as the four major subsidiaries of Intertrust Bank Group.

Intercredit Bank is only a regional bank in Macau, with a market share in Macau and a very low market share in Hong Kong, and the best quality assets are actually Intertrust Insurance, but compared with Prudential and AIA, the gap is not small.

If you go outside, you must first settle inside!

Xu Teng's meaning is to let Mei Jiali directly integrate Macau Fuxin Group, introduce the capital of Huaxia Financial Group, enter the mainland as a sister bank of Huaxia Bank, share the network resources of Huayin, and widely open branches in various provinces.

Because there are only two choices for Mui Jiali now, either to learn from Li Ka-shing and completely operate internationally, or to completely integrate into the Huayin system, integrate resources, and compete for the mainland market together, and at the same time allocate half of the capital to operate international commodity investment.

Mr. Xu's Huayin system currently has four major groups: Huaxia Finance, Boan Holdings, Galaxy Capital, and Phoenix Capital, and Xu Teng has Tencent and Huateng two groups, with different positioning, only Huaxia Finance is a financial center, which is not enough in the long run, and Fuxin Group is needed.

"Shall I think about it for a few days?" Mecarrie was even more worried, her richest man had finally come up with an idea for her, and the result was to sell it to her mother-in-law, which was too tragic.

"Don't rush, you think about it slowly. Xu Teng touched Mei Jiali's hair and comforted her not to worry too much, "By the way, you contact Gu Xueli and let her take out some of the funds to hide in Fuxin International, and acquire the assets of Qingyun Group with you." Someone is now carrying a coffin to fight corruption, even if it is revenge, I will help. ”

Why Xu Teng is reluctant to help Xi Yongan, the reason is very simple, Xi Yongan thought that he didn't know who the boss behind the Gu family was, but in fact, he knew everything.

He and Mei Jiali planned the first, second and third phases of the Jianghuai project, with a total investment of 50 billion yuan, and the production capacity target was 2 million tons.

In fact, he is also slowly arranging, waiting for a counterattack, but he is just holding back for the time being.

"In addition, it is better for you to find a top ** exploration company in the international market, merge with the other party, and find a way to get involved in the oil risk exploration business off the coast of Brazil on a larger scale. PetroChina, the Gu family, and Hanlong are all bosses, and if they pit the Gu family, they will offend everyone, I didn't dare to do it before, but now I am the richest man in the mainland, I don't go too far, and they don't dare to pit me too much. Xu Teng drank wine and slowly thought about countermeasures.

"And then?" Megarrie didn't understand.

"The opportunity is right, liquidate the oil business in hand to PetroChina, and kill them. Xu Teng shrugged, pallet during the peak of oil prices, wait for the trough period of oil prices and iron ore, and then use these funds to take over for a long time and make a scissors difference.

Ma Zheng once said that he is so rich, and when he thinks about making money, it is really not as good as a pig.

That's too pretending.

The Xu family didn't pretend at all, overpowering the Walton family, as for the other Rothschild, Sumitomo, Rockefeller, and the consortium, they played one after another.

Xu Teng has never had a strong sense of professionalism, and now he doesn't have any ambition, just just playing chess and doing something really meaningful, he can't play at home every day, right?

Isn't it nice to be busy during the day and busy at night?

It's really idle and boring, and it's actually quite interesting to single out the freaks like the Gu family, Hanlong, and Hanneng.

In the afternoon, he was going to be interviewed by the news meeting room of the CCTV news channel at the Yangtze River Film and Television Center, about half an hour, because he had no time to go to the capital recently, and the crew directly rented the studio of the Yangtze River Film and Television Center to record here.

He is still very photogenic, he doesn't mind being on TV shows, Qiang Qiang Threesome, Luyu Night, he has been on it all during this time, but they are all recorded at the Yangtze River Film and Television Center.

The general environment is like this, he has been raised too high, purely according to the market capitalization, he is now the nominal richest man in Asia, Tencent Group's handicap is not large, the market value is 1.3 times that of Amazon, but he holds 7% of Tencent's share capital, which is enough for him to top the list of Asia's richest people.

As for whether he can be listed in the top ten of the Forbes Global Rich List, it is hard to say, because the sixth to tenth places are all members of the Walton family, all of whom have a net worth of more than $20 billion, and he does not count the trust assets hidden in Fuxin International, Huateng Tencent, and the asset scale is still 1 billion away from the standard line of 20 billion US dollars.

Of course, it's all speculation, without the support of Huayin and several Hong Kong predators, it is difficult for Tencent's market value to surpass Amazon, and the current price-earnings ratio of Hong Kong stocks is much lower than that of Nasdaq, which is a fact.

Half of his $19 billion net worth was raised by his elders, who forced Tencent Group's price-earnings ratio up.

Now it is his page news at home and abroad, and the covers of Times and Forbes are also on the cover, and everyone is paying attention to one question, he is only 21 years old, how far can he develop in the future, Tencent's price-earnings ratio is twice as high as other Hong Kong stocks, and how long can it maintain a high market capitalization?

Is he really the richest man in Asia, or is he fake, a flash in the pan?

Regarding this issue, Xu Teng himself is not clear. To be continued
