Chapter 322: AIG

Many people say that the Chinese in the United States are not Chinese, they have emigrated, and they don't need help, and they deserve to be unlucky. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xu Teng used to think so, but now he doesn't think so, because everyone stands in a different position, and their interests and needs are completely different.

So, in addition to supporting Senator Obama in his presidential candidacy, Xu Teng and Miss Holmes formulated another political plan, deciding to establish a new body to protect the interests of the Chinese and support the Republican Party, aiming at the increasingly rampant egalitarianism within the Democratic Party.

By the way, Xu Teng also funded WikiLeaks through another channel.

The Democratic Party's egalitarianism, the most rampant in recent times, is California's ab1726 "Asia Minor Act", according to the initiative of the Democratic Party, requiring California's public education system to be Chinese-American, Indian-American, and Korean-American...... The minority groups of these academic and professional households are additionally registered and counted, and if one ethnic group occupies too many social resources, targeted cuts are required.

To put it bluntly, it is still for the sake of Hispanic votes to suppress Chinese, because in California, the population of Hispanics has exceeded half, and in famous colleges and universities such as Stanford and Caltech, the proportion of Chinese Americans has actually exceeded 1/4 if you count international students.

The Republican Party does not advocate this kind of egalitarianism, because the Republican voters are mainly lower-middle-class Europeans, that is, the majority group suppressed by egalitarianism, but they are not as oppressed as Chinese Americans and several other typical Asians.

The terrible thing about this incident is that there are still a few Chinese-American congressmen in the California Democratic Party, but they all expressed their support for the Democratic Party resolution.

It's terrible.

Because the vast majority of Chinese-American Democratic congressmen in the United States are second- and third-generation immigrants, mainly from Taiwan and Southeast Asia, while the Chinese-Americans are mainly from the mainland, the two sides are also incompatible.

Xu Teng also deliberated and decided to do this, supporting the new generation of Chinese Americans to turn to the Republican Party, and, through his network with Miss Holmes, forced Republican politicians to consider more about defending the interests of Chinese Americans.

One of the most important tasks at present is actually to unite the wealthier groups of Chinese Americans in one institution to jointly dispose of political contributions, and if they can come up with tens of millions of dollars in political donations in each presidential election, or even hundreds of millions of dollars in political donations, whether they are Republicans or Democrats, all of them will have to kneel.

American politics is so realistic, it is a word for money.

Chinese Americans pay for it, middle- and lower-class Caucasians in the United States vote, and they can get a Trump in every election.

Of course, Chinese Americans don't have that much money, and they generally belong to the middle and upper middle class, which is far from being comparable to Jewish Americans, with a gap of 108,000 miles.

Xu Teng has contacted several Chinese-American billionaires during this time, and basically agreed to support Miss Holmes's new organization, in fact, they have always belonged to the supporters of the Democratic Party, but objectively speaking, the Democratic Party has gone too far in engaging in the white-left movement in recent years, and has been brazen to a certain extent for the sake of Hispanic votes.

The Democratic Party is actually quite disgusting, Xu Teng has also contacted some high-level and core staff of the Democratic Party in the United States, and in general, it is similar to the perception of Chinese netizens, and he is not "sincere" about blacks, Middle Easterners, etc.

Politics is so hypocritical, for the sake of votes, dad can do without it, let alone inner cognition?

The so-called universal values are all FK, who believes and who is stupid.

People are selfish, ethnic groups are selfish, and countries are also selfish, where are there any real universal values?

Xu Teng hated the style of the Democratic Party of the United States more and more, but it is an indisputable fact that Senator Obama has been elected, and it is also a fact that he has a good personal relationship with Senator Obama.

His personal relationship with the Bush family is actually not bad.

On one side is the glorious Obama senator, on the other side is the embarrassed Bush administration, the subprime mortgage crisis is expanding, the three major US automobile companies, except for the Ford Group urgently sold some assets to the Huateng Company, for the time being, GM and Chrysler have the possibility of filing for bankruptcy protection.

The real estate industry in the United States is even more mournful, and it is simply indescribably miserable.

Xu Teng bought the Chrysler Building, and won elegantly in the battle with the Abu Dhabi consortium - after the news of his decision to buy the Chrysler Building, the other party voluntarily withdrew from the acquisition and instead aimed at the American International Building, a subsidiary of the AIG Group.

Because it was the peak of the subprime mortgage crisis and the presidential campaign, the media attention was relatively small, and recently, with the victory of Senator Obama, the news began to be scarce, and the "New York Times" finally took out the news, re-reported it, wrote a very sour long editorial, and posted a handsome photo of Xu Teng by the way.

The rise of a young international tycoon, looking down on New York coldly, to the effect that Xu Teng wants to buy out the United States.

In order to prove this point of view, the "New York Times" also listed more than a dozen acquisitions of Xu Teng and Huateng in the United States, and analyzed in detail, indeed covering all areas of American assets, from hotels to film and television industries, from high-tech to medical industries.

The New York Times deliberately ignored a detail, and that was that when Xu Teng acquired these assets, neither Hyatt Hotels Group nor Ascension Group, there were no competitors, because no other capitalist was willing to gamble.

The New York Times deliberately ignores these backgrounds, chirping crookedly to emphasize that Chinese capital is buying the best American assets at aggressively low prices, and is more savvy than the Japanese were back then.

fk!

This is the most malicious media attack Xu Teng has ever encountered in the United States.

Cause...... Probably in the latest issue of the world's richest list published by Forbes, Xu Teng undisputedly squeezed out Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, ranking first on the world's richest list, with a personal wealth of 94 billion US dollars.

Forbes's statistics on Xu Teng's wealth are mainly based on the asset statements of the major group companies under Huateng Company, compared with previous years, as the property rights structure of Huateng Company becomes clearer and clearer, this statistical work has become very easy.

Xu Teng's personal wealth is not only undisputedly the number one in the world, but also the sum of Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, which is probably the reason for the hostility of the New York Times.

In the past, in the eyes of the American media, China was an evil dictatorial sludge, and Xu Teng was a snow lotus growing out of the silt, icy and jade, noble and elegant, and talented...... Now, Xu Teng is almost the king of silt.

This is the United States.

Xu Teng didn't even have a way to fight back, so he could only let the New York Times label him as evil and face all this calmly.

He hired the best PR agency in the United States, as well as the best agency to help, and there was nothing to be anxious about, and a few days later, the PR company arranged for him to participate in the talk show on "The Ellen Show", deliberately choosing a very relaxed casual suit.

In fact, it was not a talk show that was willing to vacate the schedule and invite Xu Teng to attend, but after repeated negotiations with the public relations company, the final choice of Alan DeGeneiros's "The Ellen Show" was not only more relaxed and entertaining, but also the ratings and viewership group were indeed a very important reference.

In addition to Xu Teng himself, he also invited a Hollywood movie star he had worked with, and joined halfway, of course, not the goddess who fked, but another goddess, Natalie Portman, to talk about his first time filming a movie in the United States, including those things when he and director Li An were planning the script of "Terminator 3".

Strictly speaking, he and Natalie are not friends, however, he has always taken care of each other, Legendary Pictures invited each other to star in movies several times, only to miss them repeatedly because of the schedule, and recently finally had the opportunity to invite her to shoot a more artistic film "Black Swan".

Natalie Portman originally practiced ballet for a long time before becoming an actress for "That Killer Is Not Too Cold", a background that was the main reason why the director chose her as the lead actress.

After all, among the first-line young actresses, there are only a dozen or so to choose from, and those with excellent ballet skills are nothing more than two choices.

In addition, Legendary Pictures has always intended to invite each other to shoot a few movies and sign a long-term contract, so it must be her.

Because of such a background, Xu Teng estimated that she would still be more cooperative, pretending to be a friend and enlivening the atmosphere, and the result was really right...... Therefore, what you see on TV can't be taken seriously, and any good friends are all fake.

"So, when you first made a movie, you had a good impression of each other, but there was no follow-up development?" Alan DeGeneros followed Xu Teng and Natalie Portman's words to express their affection for each other, and said a word for the two, probably mocking these two in their hearts is really pretending, pretending to be so affectionate on stage, I am afraid that they have not been in touch for all these years.

"That's sad for me, I've always felt that he was a very special guy, very talented and very energetic...... Once, he taught Arnold to practice sticks, a very long kind of stick, and Arnold always seemed clumsy, and when you look at his movements, you only have one sentence in your heart, wow, it's incredible. Natalie Portman actually thought of a cool thing, that is, Xu Teng designed a set of six-and-a-half-foot long stick movements on the set, and was forced to teach Schwarzenegger to learn from scratch, and the Arnold she said was Schwarzenegger.

"So during that time, I always thought he was going to invite me out for a drink, because I was probably the prettiest girl on that set. Natalie Portman is a little confused, and probably hasn't figured it out until now, and asks Alan DeGeneros, "Alan, if someone likes you, you must feel it?"

"Well, when you came to the studio, you must have seen the Mexican man at the door, a little fat, so cute, he liked me for a long, long time, I never told him, I like women just like him. Alan DeGeneelos answered Natalie's questions with American humor, ambiguous, avoiding being caught up in Natalie Portman's questions, and also made the atmosphere a little more relaxed.

"I really thought he liked me during that time, so I just didn't understand why he didn't invite me to a drink at the time. Natalie Portman probably forgot that half of her breaks were close to Christy Bell during that time.

She may not have forgotten that Xu Teng was accompanied by Mei Jiali to shoot a movie on the set.

That's the show.

TV stations want ratings, and guests need attention.

"Teng, why don't you invite her out for a drink? You're not American, but you know us well, you know what it means to have a drink, right?" asked Alan DeGeneros suggestively.

"Of course I know, I treated, paid the bill, gave her a bottle of wine, that's why I bought Château Latour, I knew she loved to drink Latour, and this time, I brought her a bottle. Xu Teng sloppied, bypassed the topic, snapped his fingers, and asked the staff to deliver a bottle of 1981 Latour.

"Oh, mygod, do you really believe we're going to believe you? In the United States, we have only one comment for your behavior, loser, you're the most powerful man in the world, so be brave enough to tell us why you didn't invite her out for a drink. Alan DeGeneros looks like a friend who knows Xu Teng very well, making jokes about him and forcing him to take a stand against Natalie Portman.

Xu Teng tells the truth, Americans are really good at playing, for the sake of ratings, everyone pretends to be so skilled.

"Do you really want to know?" Xu Teng replied to Alan DeGeneros, while taking the bottle of red wine and showing the 1981 mark to Natalie Portman, which happened to be her birth year, and specially selected gifts.

"Of course. "Alan DeGeneros is really interested, she can't say that these two actors are pretending, but there must be a past intersection, they have a crush on each other, and by the way, they are building momentum for the new movie.

"When I first made a film for Ann Lee, I was just a sophomore...... So, I'm really a little bit timid, and you can also interpret this kind of thing as a technical mistake, you know what I mean, a young man who meets a female lead like Natalie for the first time in a movie, you try to show your talent to attract her attention, but when you have the opportunity to invite her for a drink, you mess up. Xu Teng and Natalie Portman's statements are definitely completely different from the situation back then, but who will verify it?

In short, this is a wonderful public relations performance, in a relaxed and people-friendly TV environment, Xu Teng proved through one thing that he is exactly the same as ordinary people, and he has also had a history of coercion that he did not dare to confess.

He's going to tear off the dangerous label that the New York Times has put on him.

This is his advantage, compared with other Chinese entrepreneurs, he can participate in any TV program in the United States at any time, any talk show, and win over several Hollywood movie stars to stand up for him at any time.

Over the years, he has spent a lot of time practicing his English, interpreting American culture, and being ready for round after round of tough challenges.

Now, he did.

The effect of the show is very good, showing a very energetic and ordinary Xu Teng, which has a diametrically opposite image contrast with the Chinese capital predators described by the New York Times.

He is a very ordinary entrepreneur in the technology industry, and at the same time, his family is indeed relatively rich.

Whether he can have where he is today is because he is more talented, smarter, or his family is richer and more powerful, this question is not important in the United States, anyway, he is very rich, very rich, and very young, similar to the average college student who has just graduated.

As an entrepreneur, he was of course born with extraordinary acumen and courage, which is why he became the new owner of the Chrysler Building and the new shareholder of the Ford Group.

However, the New York Times is really not wrong.

Xu Teng is a Chinese capital predator who is manipulating the United States, and in addition to the existing acquisitions that have been completed, his new target is the American International Group, which cannot be blamed on him, but on the New York Times itself.

Morris Greenberg, the chairman of the AIG Group and has been at the helm of the AIG Group for nearly 40 years, took the initiative to call Xu Teng and asked if Xu Teng was interested in taking a stake in the AIG Group.

Although no clear information has been revealed so far, as far as Xu Teng knows, New York State Attorney General Elli Oster has been trying to persuade the US Securities and Exchange Commission to jointly investigate the financial reports of AIG Group, and the other party has clear information and evidence to prove that AIG Group has been misrepresenting profits through financial fraud in the past eight years.

The attorney general has so far not given any media interviews, and Morris Greenberg has repeatedly claimed that he has used his credibility to ensure that the AIG's finances are completely legitimate and that there is no need for fraud.

True or false, the industry actually knows a little, and you can roughly guess it.

AIG Group is definitely faking.

What is less clear in the industry is the scale of AIG fraud, 10%, 15%, or more exaggerated 20%.

Even so, Xu Teng did not refuse Morris Greenberg's invitation.

It was a feast, and there was no reason for him to refuse the last one, even if it was flawed.

The two met privately at the Park Hyatt Manhattan.

They are both capitalists, one is an old brand, the other is a new talent, and they are very realistic and straight to the point.

Morris Greenberg's financial fraud is expected to be more than 15 percent, and he wants to borrow $7 billion from the Bank of China consortium as soon as he opens his mouth, and he does not want any collateral formalities.

The old man, the old man who holds power and refuses to retire for a long time.

Obviously unable to keep up with the progress of the times, he has always occupied the supreme throne, and he does not hesitate to use financial fraud to maintain his position, which is the ultimate punishment.

Over the past eight years, starting with George W. Bush's war on terror, Morris Greenberg has accumulated nearly $7 billion in inflated after-tax profits, and the wool is out of the sheep, in effect, has been misappropriating client assets, tearing down the east wall and mending the west wall.

If the AIG Group fails to fill the hole before the New York State Attorney General gets a search warrant, not only will the entire AIG Group be discredited, but Morris Greenberg could also go to jail — which is impossible, and this kind of lawsuit will last for a few years, and it will be repeated in a few years.

No U.S. state attorney general would be so stupid as to waste all his resources in this bottomless pit, not to a pauper who can't afford to pay for a lawyer, but to a billionaire who can afford to pay tens of millions of lawyers.

The two sides would eventually sign a deal out of court, with Morris Greenberg not going to jail and the attorney general accumulating enough prestige to compete for a seat in the judiciary, for example, by gaining the endorsement of Senator Obama and top Democrats to join the cabinet and serve as deputy attorney general.

Of course, it is also possible to transfer to the FBI and serve in the DC District, which is only one step away from the real center of power.

Of course, you can also select the New York State Senator, or the Governor.

The state attorney general is also a running office in its own right, and for this office is definitely a high-level stepping stone to the political cabinet, and there are hundreds of predictable options, including accepting nominations, serving as judges, and even running for president.

Even if you have to settle for the next best thing, you can go to the highest-paying law firm in the United States as a partner.

The United States, the country of lawyers.

Since the other party has caught Morris Greenberg, it is obvious that he will not give up easily.

How so?

Xu Teng is now a member of the elite world of American society, although he does not even have a green card, but he has friends, and if he wants, he can actually help Morris Greenberg solve this big problem.

He certainly wouldn't do that.

Xu Teng just drank and dined quietly, listening to the old man's chatter and listening to the other party's emphasis on the extensive cooperation between AIG Group and Huayin Consortium in the Asian market - this is true.

Huayin Consortium generally only cooperates with central enterprises in China, and AIG Group is a very rare exception, after all, it also has the strength of central enterprises.

This world is very realistic, and since it cannot be defeated, it can only deepen cooperation.

AIG's problem is much more than being tracked down by the New York State Attorney General for fake accounts, and according to another source that Xu Teng knew, Morris Greenberg did not tell him, and what he had already heard from the George W. Bush administration and Miss Holmes, that the AIG group may be seeking government bailouts.

People, how vicious can you be to do this?

Morris-Greenberg's plan is probably to promise Xu Teng a share, borrow a sum of money from Xu Teng first, smooth out the financial hole, and then ask the government to bail out Xu Teng and let Xu Teng bear the loss with him.

Slut!

Xu Teng sneered in his heart, but there was nothing to say, capitalists are like this, people are not for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, and at this level, they can pit one by one, they have to protect themselves first, who cares about the life and death of others.

In other words, those who do business are scum, both ancient and modern, and nothing else.

As for the mainland, people like Xu Teng are healthier.

Xu Teng drank his glass of red wine, put it down gently, raised his sharp and bright eyes, how could there be a little kind and easy-going civilian style, in the past, he was an ordinary college student, he had to pretend to be a man, but now he is such a man, and he has to pretend to be a civilian for business.

Morris Greenberg is still very stable, seemingly calm and casual, doing insurance, doing insurance for forty years, I don't know how many people have been deceived, and Xu Teng is not bad.

So, there must be a problem with home delivery.

Xu Teng didn't want to expose the other party, but after thinking about it, he really didn't want to endure this kind of person, "When the U.S. Treasury Department determines the relief capital injection, you can contact me again, 7 billion US dollars only, as long as you can hold a major shareholder seat in AIG Group, the Huayin Consortium can still get it." ”

"The Ministry of Finance's relief plan is just a record, and if we can negotiate a price without the intervention of the Ministry of Finance, it will be the worst option for you and me. Morris Greenberg is not ashamed at all, knowing that he is being watched and tracked by the Treasury Department and the New York State Attorney General, and he can still be so stable, and he really deserves to be one of the big predators on Wall Street.

Strictly speaking, AIG Group is an international trust and investment company with insurance as its main business, and AIG's Asia Fund is in charge of Sister Sha, who has always had a good relationship with Xu Teng, and still holds part of the shares of Tencent Group.

On Wall Street, the AIG Group is also the financial oligarchy that can be ranked in the top 10, almost eighth or ninth, which cannot be estimated too high.

If Wall Street were going to conspire to get rid of Kennedy, Morris Greenberg would definitely be entitled to attend the secret meeting and contribute money together.

Time has passed, and now it is a tragedy that it has ended up in this field.

Xu Teng poured half a glass of red wine for himself again, shook it slightly, tasted it, and finally decided not to worry too much about this old thing, and reported a real account very seriously, "35% of the equity, 1/4 of the voting rights and the vice chairman's seat, I will invest with Huateng Company through a number of trust funds." ”

That's right.

Morris Greenberg definitely had a sense of great joy at this moment that he had escaped and ascended to heaven and escaped a catastrophe, and he couldn't wait to ask Xu Teng, "How much?"

"$7 billion. "Xu Teng's price is a bit low.

"It's not enough, and the Treasury Department is offering a $20 billion injection, which is only a 40 percent stake. Morris Greenberg is in a hurry, in today's world, except for Xu Teng's Huayin consortium, he can't find any other investors willing to drill into this black trap.

Morris will not accept the Treasury Department's bailout deal unless absolutely necessary.

However, Xu Teng's bid was indeed too low.

"$7 billion and $13 billion in three-year interest-free loans. Xu Teng made the price clearer, these two funds together are enough for AIG Group and Morris Greenberg to escape.

"$13 billion in shares, $7 billion in low-interest loans, 35% equity, 35% voting rights. "Morris Greenberg reformulated a new price, which is his bottom line, of course, he didn't have a bottom line.

Do you think he just called Xu Teng for help?

Wrong.

From the United States to Asia, from the Middle East to Europe, Morris Greenberg contacted all the investors who could contribute, and in the end there were only two choices, one was the Middle East Saudi royal family fund and the Abu Dhabi consortium, and the other was the Xu family's family trust fund and Huayin consortium, which were the most faceless choices, and if they were chosen, they would be excluded from the "Wall Street" camp.

However, as a Jewish insurance merchant, Morris Greenberg could only choose the Xu family, the-shunfamliy!

Maurice was lucky.

AIG, American International Group ...... This may sound a little unfamiliar, but its subsidiary, AIA, is not very unfamiliar.

Xu Teng and the Xu family will definitely take advantage of the current trough period to take the opportunity to absorb the shares of AIG Group in the secondary market of outstanding shares, but nothing more, and will not attempt to completely acquire AIG, and will not even consider a controlling stake.

It doesn't make sense.

Because AIG Group will never be able to occupy an important place in China's insurance market, in the United States, in fact, it is not large, AIG's main market is Asia, in addition to China and Japan, other markets, as well as Europe and South America, in the United States insurance industry, in general, can only be regarded as the top five.

In contrast, PN Financial Group, which is fully controlled by the Huayin Consortium, has a great future in the domestic market.

Xu Teng also does not intend to make Americans feel that his capital is too dangerous, he uses Huateng's company to hold more than 15% of the shares in AIG, so that everything seems to be a normal financial investment, and then disperses the holdings through the family trust fund behind the scenes.

With the AIG Group as an ally, it is simply easier for the Xu family's capital to avoid all kinds of audits, this is not a small amount of money, especially at this stage of the subprime mortgage crisis, the family trust capital that the Xu family can regulate has already reached a scale where even Xu Teng has to gasp.
