Chapter 433: Caesar
After the internal meeting of the Big Five on Wall Street, Xu Teng had a two-hour closed-door conversation with Mr. Parker Gilbert III alone, and finally promoted the head of the securities department, Com Keller, to the new chairman and chief executive officer of the seven candidates, in order to maintain the long-term stability of Morgan Stanley. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The views of the two are basically the same, neither pursues short-term benefits, but hopes to maintain Morgan Stanley's traditional advantages and stability.
It was a very peaceful night.
In this October in New York, there was a drizzling rain, an autumn rain and a cold rain, which is true even in the United States.
Xu Teng and the well-born Mr. Parker-Gilbert III have many special similarities, they have a penchant for custom-made formal wear in the same tailor's shop, they like to enjoy a traditional English cashmere coat, they like to enjoy a glass of cognac in their leisure time, they like to enjoy the silence of time, and they like to think.
In this deceitful Wall Street, they are rare old friends, and for a long time, they have hidden this friendship.
Now, Mr. Parker-Gilbert III is not far from death.
Xu Teng could even feel the breath of the Death Knight hovering beside the other party, and the dark voice continued to echo in the room.
"My son, who is not a good banker, sometimes seems a little clumsy and loses his point of view too easily...... But with you, I'm not worried about all this, you're a good friend and a brilliant Wall Street banker. Parker-Gilbert III raised his old hand, held up the bright red Richard cognac, and invited Xu Teng for a drink.
With Xu Teng sitting in China for a long time, even if he goes out, he is running around, this may be the last time they get together.
"I promise, I'll take care of everything. Xu Teng also raised the crystal wine glass and agreed to Mr. Parker-Gilbert III's request to take care of the Gilbert family and Morgan Stanley for him.
There is no love in this world for no reason.
The Xu family is not an American family after all, and controlling the AIG Group is already the limit that the American capital circle is willing to tolerate, which means that The-ShunFamliy's shareholding in the Morgan Stanley Group will not exceed the limit, and he is willing to defend the Gilbert family and cooperate to defend the common interests at Morgan Stanley.
The same is true of the Xu family's shareholding in BofA Group.
AIG is strong in international asset management and insurance, Morgan Stanley is strong in investment banking, securities, financing and advisory, BofA Group is strong in commercial banking, and SVB Group is strong in investment and incubation in emerging technology industries.
AIG, SVB, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, the combination of the four, this is a very perfect lineup and alliance, and there will always be a place at the level of American capital.
Huayin Consortium - AIG - Morgan Stanley and Bank of America is a capital consortium alliance across both sides of the Pacific Ocean, and internal cooperation is greater than competition.
"The matter of Shengteng Group, our people have already negotiated, $14.2 billion plus a 21.5% equity exchange agreement. Mr. Parker-Gilbert III refers to Morgan Stanley, AIG and Bank of America, with Morgan Stanley as the main representative, negotiating on behalf of Hyatt International and Shengteng Group, which are part of the Huayin consortium. ”
"It's a little bit lower than I expected, we can sign now, money is not an issue, let Keller be the CEO, take care of it personally, and I want to look at him one last time. Xu Teng immediately agreed to the offer of the board of directors of Shengteng Group.
"As you said, heroes see things the same way. Mr. Parker-Gilbert III agreed that the integration of Hyatt International and Centom Group is a very complex matter, which is a very test of an investment bank president's overall view, whether he can coordinate the two sides of the merger and acquisition to find the most important things in many complex issues, overcome resistance and move forward resolutely.
As for other things, they can be left to the other partners.
Centane Group is the largest commercial and consumer company in the United States, not only owning the second largest hotel and franchise group in the United States, but also the world's largest real estate agency chain, the world's second largest car rental chain, and one of the world's four largest timeshare operators.
Xu Teng fancied these, and now he will definitely not lose if he takes it down.
When he gets these, he can merge these businesses with Tencent's network service investment business in China and the United States, promote the networking of these businesses, and better develop the profitability of the big data business.
In the field of hotel industry, Hyatt International Group will also become the world's largest international hotel chain and franchise group through mergers and acquisitions and integration.
That's why Xu Teng chose to acquire Shengteng Group instead of Starwood and Marriott Group.
It's getting late.
Xu Teng was about to have dinner brought and invited Parker Gilbert III to enjoy authentic Weizhou cuisine, when he received a new message and immediately told Mr. Parker-Gilbert, "Professor Berg has arrived in New York, do you know him?"
"I can't remember, maybe I saw it more than a dozen years ago, and I'm really surprised that he lived longer than me!" Parker Gilbert III told a joke, but he really hadn't met the founder of Roland Berger Consulting.
"He arrived two hours earlier than I expected, and if you don't mind, I'd like to invite him over for dinner, and I'm going to need to talk to him about the acquisition of Unilever and this time of the acquisition of Centane Group and Prudential Financial Group. Xu Teng is not sure if Mr. Parker-Gilbert is willing to meet up with a longtime rival.
As a top investment bank, Morgan Stanley is bound to provide long-term consulting services for cooperative enterprises, which has a basic competition with all strategic consulting firms in the world.
Especially within the scope of Huateng Industrial Complex, Morgan Stanley not only has to compete with the Huayin consortium, but also often competes with Roland Berger and Boston Consulting Group, and it is not easy to get a contract.
The scale of acquisitions by the Huayin consortium and the entire Huateng Industrial Consortium is very large, with three or four acquisitions almost every year, and each enterprise also needs its own consulting services.
It's a very large service market.
Huateng itself has one of the top strategic consulting services in China and is a major shareholder of Roland Berger, and it is often difficult for Morgan Stanley to expand in this area.
As for why Huateng did not choose to cooperate with McKinsey, Boston, and Bain, the reason is also very simple, because the M&A direction of Huateng Industrial Consortium is concentrated in Europe, and it is natural to cooperate with Roland Berger, the best company in Europe.
Half an hour later, Mr. Roland Berger arrived at the American International Building, and Verrens Wotander was also invited to attend the dinner.
Everyone mainly used a silver spoon and talked while eating.
The overseas acquisitions of the Huayin Consortium seem to be many, but in fact there are not many, because the subsidiaries and subordinate industrial groups of the Huayin Consortium are too large, and many first-tier industrial groups, such as the Central Control Group, have been negotiating for four years in order to acquire ABB Group, but no agreement has been reached so far.
While negotiating, we are constantly evolving ourselves.
Four years ago, SUPCON was not considered the world's top supplier of electrical equipment and automation control systems, but now it has basically reached this standard, and its production, sales and net profit have surpassed ABB Group.
At least in terms of contracts, output value, sales volume, profit, market capitalization...... In these aspects, the central control group is higher than ABB, not to mention that ABB's main industrial focus at this stage has shifted to industrial robots, and in this field, because of Huateng Hi-Tech Group, the central control group is only responsible for making parts system for Huateng Hi-Tech Group, and is not fully involved.
The world's four major industrial robot manufacturers, Huateng Hi-Tech and Kuka, Yaskawa, Falcona and ABB, have a global market share of 37%, while ABB actually only accounts for about 10%, only ranking fourth.
At present, the biggest obstacle to the acquisition of ABB by ZPCON Group is the initiation of anti-monopoly regulations by the EU and the United States, which will form a substantial monopoly and prohibit the merger and acquisition of ABB by ZKTeco and Huateng Hi-Tech Holdings.
Huayin Consortium is the world's largest industrial consortium, with 27 Tier 1 industrial groups, each of which ranks among the world's top 500, and 53 Tier 1 listed subsidiaries worldwide.
The entire Huateng Industrial Consortium has 372 Chinese-funded high-quality enterprises, accounting for half of the top 500 Chinese enterprises, representing the core system and strength of China's manufacturing industry.
Especially in the case of a 7-year depression in Europe and the United States, and various high-quality enterprises have fallen into bottlenecks, the entire Huateng Industrial Consortium has been in the past three years, even if the Yinmei plan is basically up to standard, the annual mergers and acquisitions in Europe and the United States are still not less than 30+.
For example, Dongfang Electric Group is acquiring Italy's gas turbine and F-class steam turbine manufacturer Andolsa this year, and the Central Control Group and Dongfang Electric Group are mutually shareholding cooperative enterprises, the Central Control Group does the electrical and electronic architecture of the power plant and the entire power grid system, and Dongfang Electric has a specialization, focusing on high-precision manufacturing of steam turbines and gas turbines for power generation, cooperating with each other to compete with Siemens in the domestic and international markets.
The advantages of the capital consortium, the advantages of size and scale, as well as the difficult economic situation in Europe and the United States in the past ten years, determine the scale of overseas acquisitions of Huayin Consortium and Huateng Industrial Consortium in the world, which must be very frequent.
This kind of acquisition is mainly concentrated in Europe, so the largest customer of Roland Berger in the world is the Huayin consortium, and the depth of cooperation between the two sides is very extensive, and Roland Berger, as a core strategic think tank in Europe, especially in Germany, has always been the main lobbying and public relations force for these acquisitions.
In addition, the efficient integration of the two companies after the signing of these acquisition agreements also requires Roland Berger AG to provide a more targeted and feasible overall consulting plan as an observer.
The simplest question, even if you want to lay off employees, is to be left to Roland Berger, because they are the most well-versed in the legal systems of the EU and European countries and are better able to negotiate with the local trade unions.
In fact, Roland Berger also relies on connections and networks to a large extent.
Taking advantage of this dinner, Xu Teng and Mr. Roland Berger talked about more than a dozen ongoing mergers and acquisitions, large and small, basically in Europe, including the merger and acquisition of Shengteng by the Huayin consortium this time, as well as the internal integration of Unilever at this stage.
Mr. Parker Gilbert, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Wellence Wotander, also participated in these discussions and provided different references for Xu Teng.
Basically, this dinner is the senior chairman of the three major industries of investment banking, asset management, and public relations consulting, to provide the most professional analysis for Xu Teng, the chairman of the superior unit, and help Xu Teng make the most correct decision as soon as possible.
The current situation is like this, on a global scale, the only world industrial consortium that is still in a period of rapid growth is the Huayin Consortium, and the rest are shrinking relatively, or even sharply.
Under the impact of the global resource investment bubble crisis in 2014, the only stock market in the world that can maintain growth is A-shares, and the price-earnings ratio of European and American stock markets has fallen to the bottom, so this year is the best time for Huayin Consortium and Huateng Industrial Consortium to continue to expand rapidly.
Many people who have talked about the cooperation framework for many years and mergers and acquisitions for many years must sign it as soon as possible this year.
The meal for four lasted until just over 10 p.m.
Xu Teng finally made a decision, take advantage of this opportunity to make a last effort and make every effort to acquire, even if there will be a lot of troubles and problems, it will be gradually solved in the next few years.
He is an initiating device, a detonator, turning a crisis that is not serious into a global crisis of financial turmoil, and since it has been created, it is indeed a pity that this opportunity cannot be better used.
At least this year, Huateng Industrial Body's global voyage does not rely on oars, but on waves.
In life, if you have the opportunity to wave once, then you have to fly the waves, just like a football game, 2:0 is stable, 8:6 doesn't matter, as long as you can win, you can win faster and fiercer, and it doesn't matter if it's exciting.
There is a wave of capital, why not a wave?
Xu Teng made a small decision to officially promote Tencent's acquisition of Baidu, and at the same time incorporate Amazon Inc. into its subsidiary, and then start the acquisition of Yahoo, Netflix, and Priceline, completely rewriting the pattern of the entire international network technology industry.
This is a systematic large-scale operation, Huateng Company acquired 40% of the shares of Amazon, and injected another 17 billion US dollars for Amazon Inc. to acquire Yahoo Inc., Netflix, Priceline Company, and increase Huateng's shareholding in Amazon Company to about 55%!
It's a left-handed to right-handed acquisition.
Because more than 40% of the capital of the investment institutions that hold the main equity of Amazon and Netflix behind the scenes comes from The-ShunFamliy, through Amazon's acquisition of Yahoo and Netflix, two media network technology companies, to increase the market share in the Internet search and media video business, enhance the total volume of Amazon's big data and cloud computing business, and further enhance the stock price.
Tencent acquired Baidu and unified its search, map, and encyclopedia businesses, increasing its global search business share to 35%, and its global map and driving navigation business to 40%.
In the past few years, Xu Teng has been slowly shrinking the daily search, constantly expanding the scale of investment in ASK search, and focusing more on expanding the share of the international market, in order to achieve the ultimate integration.
After the completion of this series of restructurings, Huateng's network technology giants will also increase to Tencent, Zhongqu, Amazon, Tencent focuses on security, social networking, network communication, online entertainment, search, browser, mailbox, media information and other comprehensive businesses, Zhongqu focuses on e-commerce, Amazon has both, compared with the other two more focus on the European and American markets.
The three giants form a broad technology alliance, share the technology patents of the parent company, and develop cloud computing, big data, and AI businesses in an independent and unified way of cooperation.
As the parent company of the Big Three, Huateng Company has adopted more extensive and fair cooperation with Google, Apple, Microsoft, IBM, AMD and other giants through cooperation at the capital level to jointly formulate rules.
In New York, Xu Teng's life is basically two points and one line, either at the Chrysler Building, or at the Park Hyatt Manhattan, or on the way to the Chrysler Building and back to the Park Hyatt Manhattan.
As for the American International Building, the headquarters of the AIG Group, Xu Teng will only go there when the Big Five of Wall Street meet, anyway, it is only one street away from his office in the United States, the 75th floor of the Chrysler Building.
Originally built in 1930, the 1,050-foot-tall Chrysler Building is still the most popular skyscraper as voted by the American Academy of Architectural Arts, the American media, and the American public, especially in the evaluation of the American media and the Academy of Architectural Arts, which is significantly higher than the Empire State Building.
This is a skyscraper with great artistic charm, and its influence is quite far-reaching, and even when Xu Teng chose the design plan of Huateng Science and Technology Building, he also chose a similar plan.
Today, the Chrysler Building, like the Marble Manor, is regarded as one of the two major architectural temples owned by The-ShunFamliy in the United States, and can also be regarded as the symbol of The-ShunFamliy's position in the American capital world.
Soon after Xu Teng arrived in the United States, the news that Hyatt International Hotel Group, a subsidiary of the Huayin Consortium, was about to acquire Shengteng Group quickly spread, and soon, the capital injection negotiations between the Huayin Consortium and Amazon were also disclosed.
In fact, the American media has seen it strangely, commonplace, and when encountering such important news, it is still necessary to continue to make a fuss and re-analyze the strength of Xu Teng and the Huayin consortium, for fear that Americans will not understand that Xu Teng is JP Morgan of this era, the richest man in the world ever, with a net worth of $1.1 trillion - even under the influence of the global resource bubble crisis in 2014, more than 70% Xu Teng, whose net worth is measured by A-shares, has not actually been greatly affected by the bubble crisis.
M&A is a double-edged sword.
Xu Teng understood this early on, which is why he would rather continue to increase the capital of Hyatt International Hotel Group and build more four- and five-star hotels and convenience hotel chains around the world, rather than rush to buy other international hotel giants.
This is the case with mergers and acquisitions, the risk of large enterprises acquiring small enterprises is controllable, and the risk of small enterprises acquiring large enterprises is extremely difficult to control.
By 2014, with Hyatt Group ranking first in the global chain hotel industry market capitalization, the pressure and risk of acquiring Shengteng Group will be much smaller, and for the entire Huayin consortium, expanding the scale of the global luxury hotel and convenience hotel industry is only one of the many benefits.
The real core value of this acquisition is to integrate the car rental and real estate agency business of Shengteng Group into the network technology industry of Huayin Consortium.
Once the merger is successful, the traditional industries of Shengteng Group will quickly transform to the network technology industry with the help of Huateng's layout in the global technology network.
It's a great story!
Xu Teng has always been a master storyteller, and he is very good at transforming traditional assets into high-quality future technology assets, and this is the core factor of the capital world's worship of him.
That's why he can easily buy Unilever and buy Shengteng Group, he can provide a higher share price for the other party's shareholders, they can not only cash out the profits, but also increase the value of the remaining shares in their hands several times, so that traditional assets have the price-to-earnings ratio of online assets.
In fact, to put it mildly, when Morgan Stanley told the board of directors of Shengteng Group that the Huayin consortium was ready to acquire Shengteng Group in the form of cash + shares, the board of directors knelt directly and opened champagne in advance to celebrate before reaching a formal agreement.
This is Xu Teng's magic.
He always performed miracles.
In the six months since he acquired Unilever and took absolute control of Unilever, Unilever formalized a new "2010" global operation strategy, adopting 20+ international brands and 10+ local brands in each regional market around the world.
With this strategy, Unilever + Yongtai Chemical's brand has shrunk rapidly, and the total sales after the merger have not risen but fallen, but the global operating costs have fallen faster, the total profit has soared by 22 points, and the market value has soared all the way against the trend, surpassing Procter & Gamble in only half a year to become the world's largest daily chemical FMCG company with the largest market value.
Now, this kind of good thing is finally the turn of Shengteng Group and Amazon.
Now, everyone knows that he is the real god of management, the KING of capital that turns stones into gold, and Buffett is already in the past tense that no one cares about.
As soon as the news of the Huayin consortium preparing to take control of Amazon spread, Amazon's stock price rose wildly for many days, and the founder and chief CEO Bezos only made two statements, first, this is a long-awaited cooperation, and second, no one can refuse The-ShunFamliy.
Even if the US media is unwilling to join hands and sing praises, it is difficult to question this transaction in depth, and can only continue to invite various financial experts to analyze the pros and cons of this transaction on the stock market.
In the past six months, the U.S. stock market has been very bleak, which is a rare piece of good news, that is, Xu Teng came forward to have such good news, driving the Nasdaq to rise against the trend.
Which media is singing the opposite tune now, that is, it can't get along with the whole Wall Street, oh, no matter what the attitude of CNN and the New York Times is, the Big Five of Wall Street have already sung praises in advance, and none of the chairmen are willing to turn their faces with the major shareholders.
In the first half of 2014, the White House had just reached many agreements with the Huayin consortium, and it was difficult to directly intervene to stop these things.
The situation is extremely complex.
How deep is The-ShunFamliy's penetration in the United States, not a single senior congressman, not a single media member willing to stand up and criticize it, and no one wants to dig through this problem, because the damage is so widespread, almost accusing most of the important American tycoons, corporations and politicians of being unpatriotic.
In the United States, it is mainly some right-wing, even far-right media, that hype The-ShunFamliy's threat to the United States and report all kinds of conspiracy theories, and the mainstream media tries to avoid such reports.
Of course, many Americans are still very clear in their hearts that this is a natural distrust, and they are only out of the ruling class, and they can hardly fight back against this kind of thing, except for the quadrennial presidential election.
Huateng's acquisition of 40% of Amazon's shares and the injection of $17 billion were completed in just a few days, and then Amazon officially launched the acquisition of Yahoo and Priceline online travel companies, Netflix online media film and television companies, ready to completely rewrite the layout of the global technology network industry.
Once this series of acquisitions is successful, Amazon will become the fourth largest network technology company in terms of total market capitalization after Tencent, Google, and Zhongqu Group, plus Facebook, which is the world's top five network technology companies.
Among the five giants, Huateng Company absolutely controls 3, and its Tencent Company holds 1/3 of the shares of Facebook.
On the other hand, Xu Teng is also secretly negotiating with Microsoft, suggesting that Microsoft acquire Twitter, The-ShunFamliy also substantially holds 1/3 of Twitter's equity, and now it is necessary to consider a suitable cash-out in exchange for Microsoft's shares, which is a very good choice.
Compared with Google, Microsoft is more eager to expand in the wireless field and mobile phone market, and this acquisition is very valuable to Microsoft.
It happened to be Xu Teng's second week in the United States, and on the 14th day, he met with Bill Gates and Buffett again in the office of the 75th floor of the Cloud Club in the Chrysler Building, and made a final negotiation on this matter and reached an agreement.
Bilgates already knew about The-ShunFamliy's actual 37% stake in Twitter, while Buffett knew nothing and was surprised in his heart.
Xu Teng and Bill Gates reached an agreement and decided to buy Twitter by Microsoft at a price of $57 per share in the form of a share exchange.
This also means that The-ShunFamliy and Huateng's stake in Microsoft has increased by 17.3%, becoming the largest institutional shareholder.
In fact, Xu Teng did not agree with Bil Gates's decision to continue to cash out Microsoft shares, but he could not be wrong about Bil Gates's idea of continuously diversifying his investment, investing a large amount of capital from the Gates Fund in the Huateng Industrial Consortium, increasing the equity of SVB Silicon Silver Company, and investing in more small and medium-sized innovative technology companies in the United States.
In terms of business strategy, Xu Teng and Bilgates have completely different concepts, and he is very disgusted with the dispersion of the equity of large enterprises, because whether it is General Electric, IBM, or other American corporate giants, it has been proved that large enterprises with scattered equity often lack sufficient forward momentum, lack the ability to respond to the changes of the times, and even lack the ability to defend their own value.
Compared with the American business culture's admiration for professional executives, Xu Teng believes in the long-term responsibility of major shareholders for their own interests, and he constantly emphasizes that companies that do not have a clear responsible person will eventually be eliminated.
Taking advantage of this spare time for afternoon tea, Xu Teng continued to persuade Bilgates that he should no longer reduce his stake in Microsoft and be responsible for the company he created.
Mr. Buffett's focus is obviously not here, and he suddenly asked Xu Teng, "How much does The-ShunFamliy invest in the U.S. technology industry?"
"Very much. Bilgates replied for Xu Teng, taking a sip of Qimen black tea, disapproving, what he actually meant was that The-ShunFamliy's investment in the United States was omnipresent.
"When did this happen?" Buffett couldn't understand this at all, and it wasn't until today that Buffett found out that The-ShunFamliy was Twitter's first angel investment fund and the first private equity investment fund.
"It was probably after the Southeast Asian financial crisis, and my dad made a huge investment of over $10 billion at that stage, and then he started investing in U.S. internet technology stocks. In 2003, after the success of my business, we began to invest more broadly in innovative companies in U.S. cyber technology and biotechnology. Over the past decade, we have invested more than $10 billion in the U.S., involving about 1,700 emerging startups, and so far, only 15% of our investments have been successful, about half of which have been sold to other investors and network technology companies, and the rest have gone bankrupt without success. Xu Teng explained a little, signaling that Mr. Buffett should not care too much, The-ShunFamliy does not monopolize the entire American network technology industry.
Warren Buffett has never been a fan of entrepreneurial investment, and like Blackstone, he prefers to look for undervalued high-quality companies in traditional industries and obtain returns through long-term holdings, such as banks, insurance, sugar companies, food companies, etc.
Warren Buffett has also invested in two shale oil and gas and resource mining companies, but he has cashed in faster than Xu Teng, which is the smell of the old stock god, even if he does not have the most complete global big data data, he can keenly judge many indicator parameters of China's GDP deceleration, and withdraw from the resource investment market in advance.
Peter Thiel and Warren Buffett of SVB Silicon Silver Group are two typical investors, Peter Thiel focuses on angel investment and private equity operations, and is known as the king of Silicon Valley.
Of the 1,700 startups that Xu Teng has invested in in the United States, 70% are operated through SVB Silicon Silver Group.
As an investor, Xu Teng is actually between Peter Thiel and Warren Buffett, or the sum of the two, doing both emerging venture capital and traditional holding investment.
Therefore, Peter Thiel is regarded as the king of Silicon Valley, Warren Buffett is regarded as the god of stocks, and Xu Teng is the god of management...... In the United States, Xu Teng is actually called the "Emperor of Capital", probably because he is from the East, and he is not "Emperor", but "TheKaiser-of-Capital".
If you open a lot of newspapers, CK-Shun refers specifically to Xu Teng, the Caesar among the capitalists, the leader, the emperor.
This is Xu Teng's status in the United States and in the whole world, in fact, no American media, or European media, likes him from the bottom of their hearts, but they really can't be provoked.
"They have a lot of failed investment cases, but there are many more successful cases, such as Google, Apple, Priceline, Linkedln, all of which have high rates of return. Bill Gates actually guessed, no one told him that he was just one of the leaders of the industry, and based on experience and inside information, he roughly guessed which of Google's and Apple's holdings belonged to The-ShunFamliy.
As we all know, Huateng Company invested in the smartphone industry on a large scale as early as 2004 and developed an operating system, but in the end it was willing to join hands with Apple to promote the development of the smartphone industry and Google to promote the Android operating system, which was indeed unexpected.
In the end, Xu Teng used these two strategies to quickly break through Microsoft's leading position in the platform system.
In this series of operations, the degree of cooperation between Google and Apple is completely like the holding company of Huateng Company, on the other hand, the shareholding ratio of SVB silicon silver in these two technology giants is also higher than one year.
At the same time, many people know that The-ShunFamliy is the majority shareholder behind SVB Silicon Silver Group.
These frequent capital operations may seem scattered among others, but they are enough to make Bilgate and Microsoft realize that Tencent, Zhongqu, Google, and Apple are a big alliance in the technology industry, cooperating with each other to deal with Microsoft.
In the past seven years, the two major operating systems of Android and Kirin held by Tencent and Google are constantly forming a more complete ecosystem, constantly squeezing the market space of Microsoft's Windows system.
Even if the two sides reached an agreement and Tencent reduced the promotion of the Kirin system, the investment has not been reduced, and it is still improving the ecosystem with the help of Android.
Now, as long as Xu Teng is willing, once the Kirin system is promoted on a large scale under the premise of free of charge, it can basically kill Microsoft and evaporate half of Microsoft's market value.
In fact, the Kirin system, which is currently only promoted in China, can be rapidly expanded as long as it is replaced with the "Android Kirin" brand, and the kernels of the two are completely the same, and their ecosystem software systems are also compatible with each other.
This is Xu Teng's biggest killer weapon against Microsoft.
When he proposed that Microsoft should buy Twitter, as long as the price he negotiated in the middle was relatively reasonable, Microsoft had no way to refuse.
In 2009 and 2013, it was submitted to the board of directors for discussion twice, especially in May 2013, and the voice was extremely high.
From Xu Teng's point of view, under the pressure of the TZG alliance of Tencent, Zhongqu, Google, and Apple, Bier Gates has tried his best, which is basically single-handedly taking on the entire network technology industry.
In addition to directly suing the White House and the FBI, and asking the U.S. government to clean The-ShunFamliy's large-scale infiltration of the U.S. Internet technology industry, Bill Gates actually doesn't have any particularly good emergency medicine.
The best strategy now is to cooperate with the TZG Grand Alliance, join the Grand Alliance, stabilize a market each, and jointly monopolize the market through the cooperation of the capital layer and the technical layer to prevent it from being subverted by the new rising companies.
Business is business.
It has little to do with the country, beliefs, and morals, and Microsoft's own internal assessment believes that cooperation is the best way to protect itself, and that is enough.
On this late October New York afternoon, everything is quiet in this office of the Cloud Club on the 75th floor of the Chrysler Building.
Unlike Bill Gates and Warren Buffett's raunchy, Xu Teng will always maintain his own image, and will always be the most exquisite New York banker, with a glass of cognac, a suit, and quietly thinking about his thoughts.
On a warm New York afternoon, the sun shines through the glass, and here, a young Chinese American, the chairman of a consortium that controls the global financial and network technology industries, sits quietly, indifferently, calmly.
He made a decision, and the whole market was busy.
Bilgates is also calm, because this is a good deal, a good business, and the acquisition of Twitter can really greatly improve Microsoft's weak situation in the wireless terminal field.
Mr. Buffett is not so calm, this is a very old man, and his thinking is inevitably a little traditional and conservative, this American business legend cannot imagine that the United States has long since fallen silently.
Not many people know about such an important matter.
At this moment, Buffett looked carefully at Xu Teng in the sun, and thought to himself, this person should have no goal left, this is the most successful investor in history, with almost unlimited capital.
"Shun, in today's era, what else do you want to do!" Buffett meant to ask, what business Xu Teng wants to do recently, and they can invest together.
"Balancing Sino-US trade, if we fail to do this, the deterioration of Sino-US relations will greatly harm my investment interests. Xu Teng told the truth, he said a very honest thing, there is nothing worth worrying about in the field of network technology industry.
This large-scale operation will only make the layout of Huateng in the global network industry clearer and more rational, and at the same time, it will also push it to the limit that the White House can bear.
The-ShunFamliy's shareholding in the three major technology giants of Tencent, Zhongqu and Amazon is public through Huateng, and its shareholding in SVB Silicon Silver Group and Google, Apple and AMD is hidden through thousands of overseas trust funds.
Through the Bank of China consortium, The-ShunFamliy's holdings in Huaxia Financial Group are public, their holdings in AIG Group are hidden, their holdings in Blackstone Group are public, and their holdings in Bank of America and Morgan Stanley are hidden.
The-ShunFamliy's stake in FMG Resources Group through the Huayin Consortium is public, while its stake and stake in ConocoPhillips and Vanguard Resources through AIG Group is hidden.
All of this is a limit of tolerance for the United States.
It's really impossible to continue to take any further steps.
Xu Teng is well aware of this.
The afternoon sun in New York is very warm, and at this moment, Xu Teng thought of Audrey Hepburn's advertisement and Leslie Cheung's song.
"If you lose the evening festival will be terrible, take advantage of this afternoon to drink light black tea, if you get breakfast to melt you, with the sunset thank you, drink half a cup of sirloin tea, hot half a day of fireworks, there are so many ideals, some are not at all I think, and some will change when you get it!"
Ten years of war, ten years of intersection.
Xu Teng raised his glass and stared at the aging Bilgates at the tea table on his right, thinking that one day, he could have the luxury of having such a friend, but in fact, he was not a friend.
