Chapter 257: After all, it's a friend
The final of the 50th European Champions Cup was played at 8:45 p.m. local time in Turkey, AC Milan vs Liverpool. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The butterfly effect brought by the Xu family is getting stronger and stronger, and many details of the history of the planet are being rewritten, spreading from China to foreign countries, and this Champions League final is likely to be a node.
This is the legendary Istanbul Night, the Night of Miracles.
As a result, the miracle did not happen because it was no longer needed.
This should have been the most magical night in the history of the Champions League final, the most magical game, because of Xu Teng, because of the Xu family, and finally turned into a evenly matched and extremely conservative game.
AC Milan scored first, and substitute Villa scored two goals in a row to make a name for themselves.
Bei Shuai is still very decisive, after the 4231 formation used in the opening was suppressed, he immediately replaced Villa in the second half, adjusted the formation to 4222, which had repeatedly lost to other giant clubs before, and fought desperately, and the result was ...... Actually won.
Oops?
A Champions League trophy in hand?
In front of everyone's eyes, Xu Teng just reached out and grabbed a Champions League trophy, which is estimated to envy Abramovich to death, it turns out that Abu is still not good enough, and the money spent at Chelsea is not enough.
Xu Teng was very happy, and after the game, he gave the club a special fund of 40 million pounds for reinforcements, and helped the Liverpool club to make up 100 million pounds to continue to invest in reinforcements.
Taking advantage of the boom of Liverpool winning the Champions League, Xu Teng in the name of seven Premier League clubs such as Liverpool, Manchester United, and Birmingham, together with the FA and the General Administration of Sports of China, jointly operated the strategic cooperation between China and the United Kingdom, and was affiliated with the two football associations.
This was Xu Teng's greatest contribution to Chinese football and sports, and then it was gone.
How can a capitalist do a loss-making business?
Xu Teng did not invest in the domestic football business at all, and the two teams of China B and China A were transferred to Chen Jian's Jiangtai Group to establish Jiangzhou Jiangtai Football Team. Once upon a time, a generation of Chen Nanshen of Yangtze University has now been reduced to Xu Teng's pick-up man, and he is a professional pick-up.
End of June.
Really graduated.
On the day he got his graduation certificate, Xu Teng sat on campus all day, thinking quietly.
Until late afternoon.
He received a text message from Gu Xueli, thought about it, sent her the address, and asked her to come over by herself.
Gu Xueli knew that Xu Teng must be at school today, so she looked for him in the school, and a few minutes later, she went to the alley on the west side of the school gymnasium and met Xu Teng here.
Time has passed, at this time, Gu Xueli is already an overseas Chinese from Singapore, and she used to be a woman in the rose years, but she is no longer the young and arrogant in the tempering of time, and has become mature and beautiful, which is the strong fragrance of the peony years.
She wore a silk purple dress, a dress as smooth as satin, and held a bouquet of flowers in her hand.
This is the costume of the bridesmaids.
"Who is getting married?" Xu Teng opened his arms, leaned on the bench, asked Gu Xueli, and after thinking about it, he asked her again, "How are the past two years?"
"It's ok. Gu Xueli laughed, sat on the other side of the bench, and looked at Xu Teng, "One of my college girlfriends got married, but I didn't expect her to get married too." ”
"Oh, oh......!" Xu Teng understood, what did this girl do with her best friend in college before, boom, human society is really complicated, if the groom today knows the truth, I don't know how to imagine it.
"Don't think about it, we're good sisters. Gu Xueli shook Xu Teng's arm with the flower ball in her hand, looking a little embarrassed.
"Hehe, this kind of thing doesn't need to be explained...... By the way, how is your Gu family's investment in Malaysia, is it going well?" Xu Teng didn't give Gu Xueli time to explain, smiled evilly, and quickly changed the topic she had to answer.
The Gu family's money is a little dirty, but it is not the stolen money of corruption and bribery, it is still easy to wash away, and this matter is also the help of the Huayin Consortium, otherwise the Gu family would not have sold the main high-quality assets of Qingyun Group to the Huayin Consortium.
After immigrating to Singapore, the Gu family did not directly create a new company, but acquired a Singapore Qingfeng Trading Company with a history of more than 60 years, and founded Qingfeng Holding Group Company on this basis, with Gu Xueli as the senior CEO.
Gu Xueli's identity has also changed slightly, becoming a graduate of the Singapore Development Management Institute, an MBA from the Singapore Management University, and the heir of the original Qingfeng company.
This change of identity is all to cover up the traces of the Gu family in Gyeongju.
"If it had gone well, I wouldn't have come back to you. Gu Xueli smiled bitterly, she didn't care about Xu Teng's gossip about her and her college girlfriends, because she really wanted to ask Xu Teng for help when she returned to China this time.
"How can it not go well, as far as I know, Malaysia's chemical industry is not strong, and the Gu family is also a professional chemical giant in China, and your parents are very knowledgeable. Xu Teng was a bit deliberately pretending to be stupid, when he heard that the Gu family was going to Malaysia to invest in the chemical industry, he was very happy to say goodbye all the way.
"Malaysia's chemical industry is not strong, but Singapore's chemical industry is very strong, not only the technical level and industrial scale are much higher than those of other ASEAN countries, but the price is also quite low. "Gu Xueli only has the strength to complain, Qingfeng Group lost more than one billion last year, and the Gu family tried to find a way to solve it with the Malaysian government, hoping to provide the same tax subsidy policy...... It took a lot of effort to lobby, and the deliberation bill was still thrown in the garbage basket in the parliament, and I don't know if it can be reviewed and approved in the year of the monkey.
This time, the Gu family finally knew how stupid it was to invest overseas.
In addition to the tax issue, there is also a more serious cost issue, and Singapore has the advantage of using port facilities to reduce the cost of oil imports and petrochemicals.
This is also something that Malaysia does not have for the time being, and this is also a key factor for Malaysia to compete with Singapore for port advantages in the later stage, which will not only have an impact on petrochemicals, but also on all industrial systems in Malaysia.
The Gu family is a newcomer to Malaysia and Singapore, and their connections are thin.
There is no solution to this matter, unless the Gu family can hold out for five or six years, wait until the new Malaysian government comes to power, or other political changes, and accelerate the support of the petrochemical industry, as well as the development of Malaysia's ports and power conditions.
"Do you want to sell the factory now, or borrow money?" Xu Teng asked casually, he will neither buy a petrochemical company in Malaysia nor borrow money, at least for four or five years, investing in petrochemical in Malaysia will still be a loss.
ASEAN seems to be united, but in fact, there is too much competition.
For example, the EU is very united, but if Britain and the United States cooperate to support the Czech Republic into a high-end machinery manufacturing power, Germany will definitely turn against Britain and the United States.
"Actually, I know that you won't buy the factory or borrow money, it's all my fault. Gu Xueli is self-aware, although she and Xu Teng are not boyfriend and girlfriend, they are somewhat similar.
She was taken care of by Xu Teng at the beginning, and she followed Xu Teng's Huateng department to do business, and she was very moisturized, but as a result, she was confused for a while, and she did not hesitate to leave Xu Teng to return to the Gu family and work for the family.
"Then what do you think?" Xu Teng was very serious, frowning, as if he was very concerned about this girl and the Gu family's Qingfeng Group, as if he was pondering countermeasures. If he didn't want to be secretly cool, he wouldn't have called her over and disturbed his tranquility, now seeing Gu Xueli so deflated, he is really happy, happy no, no.
"Of course, I ask you to come up with some strategy, we used to be in the Huateng Department, we did something wrong, something happened, but it was all up to you to turn things around. Gu Xueli knew that Xu Teng would be happy and make him laugh evilly, but he still had to come to the door for help, because this time it was really bitter.
The Gu family took away 1.4 billion US dollars in cash from the mainland, and Huayin paid it in installments for two years, and now it has all arrived, half of which has been invested in this Qingfeng Group, hoping to make money to support the family, but I didn't expect to lose more than 100 million US dollars last year.
Looking at this trend at present, Gu Xueli's father estimates that he will lose about three years...... Xu Teng and Chen Yongnian also estimated so, but Xu Teng knew that three years later, the Gu family would have to continue to suffer heavy losses and lose everything.
If the Gu family can survive until 2014, the price of oil will all fall, and it will almost be profitable.
Xujia's Yongtai Chemical Group can take over, around 2012, preferably in 2013, to enter the ASEAN market, and then join hands with China Development Bank and China Railway General and COSCO to invest in Port Klang in Malaysia, squeezing Singapore's port and chemical industry.
The South China Sea issue is so happy, Singapore kicks its nose in the face, and Malaysia is silent, muffled to make a fortune. Anyway, China has die-hard fans in ASEAN who are responsible for voting against it, and no one in Malaysia can be offended.
Of course, if the Xu family wants to reach the level of single-handedly facing Singapore and can add blockage to Singapore, it is still far away, and it will take more than ten years of rapid development and accumulation.
Xu Teng thought seriously for a long time, thought about it again and again, and finally told Gu Xueli, "I basically don't know anything about the situation on your side, I really can't help, and I don't know how to solve it." ”
"You're seriously playing tricks on me this time, aren't you?" Gu Xueli was quite helpless, she knew very well in her heart that she deserved it, now look at Mei Jiali, Lu Fangfang, and Chen Jian doing business so happily, it's no wonder she doesn't regret it.
Carrie has a stake in Manchester United, and Jian Chen and the black card gangsters at Starfish also take a stake in a Birmingham City club.
What about Gu Xueli?
She has nothing, she has been tossing for so many years, heartbroken, and regrets that she shouldn't have left Xu Teng.
"Doing business, how can it be so smooth, especially this kind of big business of transnational investment, I believe that your parents must still have countermeasures and determination, and you don't have to be too nervous. Xu Teng comforted Gu Xueli without smiling, and the coolness in his heart was beyond words.
Is the Huayin Consortium a good thing?
Of course not, if it wasn't for the fact that the Gu family was going to invest in the petrochemical industry in Malaysia, how could the Huayin Consortium help the Gu family leave the country easily and let them escape in advance.
"Okay, don't be angry, after all, it's been a few years, can't we laugh at each other and be friends again?" Gu Xueli lowered her posture very low, knowing that Xu Teng was playing with her, she still had to swallow her anger.
"After all, I am a friend, and I am not angry for a long time. Xu Teng sighed, looking up at the sky, as if recalling the old things between him and Gu Xueli, he was really not angry, he just kept waiting to see the jokes of the Gu family.
"My parents can only try to reduce production and losses now, try to stabilize some old customers, slowly accumulate, waiting for a turnaround, I came back this time to return to China to invest, after all, it is easier to do business in China. Gu Xueli didn't tell the truth, her father felt very bad, and made another preparation, trying to borrow from AmBank to maintain operations, but if he couldn't do it, he would go bankrupt and run away.
In this case, the Gu family still has six or seven billion US dollars in their hands, and it is generally no problem to invest in China.
In fact, the Gu family did not lose too much, Gu Wanjun has been crisscrossing the shopping mall for so many years, and he still has a lot of eyes, he does petrochemical, and he is most afraid of soaring oil prices, so he is prepared with both hands, investing in petrochemical while buying oil futures to hedge risks.
The current situation is that the petrochemical companies in Port Klang in Malaysia are losing money, and the oil futures index purchased by the Gu family in the Singapore stock market is profitable, and the two sides are hedged, and they do not make any profit or loss.
"Then what industry do you plan to invest in?" Xu Teng was really serious this time, he didn't mean to pit Gu Xueli again, he couldn't do it, the past was over after all, and he also got a lot of benefits from the Gu family, at least those lands were genuine, and the increase in the value of the land alone made him a lot of money.
"The old profession can only do real estate, and it can only do real estate. Gu Xueli smiled bitterly, she still overestimated her strength in the real estate business, don't look at her only two years away from the domestic real estate market, these two years have been earth-shaking changes.
"Now the domestic monetary contraction, to be honest, is indeed a good opportunity to acquire land, but it is not a good opportunity to develop real estate, because all buyers are waiting for property prices to fall. Chinese are like this, buy up not buy down. I have a few good projects in my hands now, because of the problem of funds, I am not very easy to operate, it just so happens that Lu Fangfang will come to my house today or tomorrow to talk about things, you talk to her, go to the capital together, and do a good job in those projects. Xu Teng decided to completely kick Gu Xueli into the fire pit, continue to cooperate with Lu Fangfang, and continue the frontier.
Sure enough, Gu Xueli's face darkened.
"Over there in the capital...... What kind of project?" Gu Xueli was suspicious, suspecting that Xu Teng was cheating on her.
"Huateng is currently acquiring land in China, all of which rely on concept stocks, not skyscrapers, science and technology cities, and entrepreneurial buildings, and these tricks do not work in the capital. Now if you want to get land within the fourth ring road of the capital, you have to grab it all, and the cost is too high. Xu Teng is telling the truth, the second largest shareholder of Huateng Land Group is Lu Fangfang, who is mainly responsible for the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei market, and everything else is easy to say, but the cost of land acquisition is too high, and they have no crooked tricks to use.
"So, Lu Fangfang and I recently thought of a good way to pick unfinished buildings and acquire unfinished buildings to re-operate, especially this year, when other investors are shrinking, and we are ready to buy the eight unfinished buildings in the capital collectively. ”
Xu Teng snapped his fingers, still full of confidence, "Of course, we have to register a new real estate company to operate, the risk of unfinished buildings is too high, in case of messing up, we can only continue to unfinished." ”
"It's impossible, your Huateng Land is the two major real estate leaders of the Huayin Consortium, and there are real estate projects that you can't do?" Gu Xueli was a little unconvinced, and deeply suspected that Xu Teng and Lu Fangfang had registered a new company, which was professionally used to continue to pit the Gu family.
"You look at the scenery in front of me, but you don't know how sad I am behind, you look proud in front of me, but you don't know that I have countless losses behind the scenes. Xu Teng smiled bitterly, this is the truth, his Huateng Group, the risk index is as high as 90%, and many projects are big bets.
Huateng Land is a big gamble, in a vain attempt to become the country's largest real estate company, land protection Shuanglian, skyscraper center, concept real estate, unfinished building projects, these big tricks are being used, which link accidents, Huateng Land may collapse, the need for the Huayin consortium as a whole.
Xu Teng discussed with Wang Tong and Li Jinfen, Huateng seeks speed, Boan seeks stability, in case Huateng Land messes up, then let Vanke Real Estate Company, a subsidiary of Boan Holdings, integrate at a low price and start again.
If you want to revitalize the unfinished building project, it is still a forbidden area in China, and it is easy to have an accident, only a few medium-sized real estate companies are quite good at it, Xu Teng and Lu Fangfang are also veterans in the real estate industry, and they will not easily make bad moves.
They first recruited a new team to deal professionally with all kinds of thorny problems of unfinished buildings, such as property rights, pre-sales, debts, etc., and operated independently as a subsidiary of Huateng Land.
It's riskier than building a skyscraper.
Skyscrapers generally have the protection of local governments, especially provincial finances, which are related to the commercial status and appearance of a province, and can only succeed, not fail, and the only problem is not that they cannot be built, but that they lose money.
The property rights of unfinished buildings and other complexities can directly kill people until you go bankrupt and run away.
If it was really easy to solve, it wouldn't have been ruined in the first place.
The first unfinished building in Beijing, "Jinhui Center", was suspended in 93 years, and it has not been started for many years, and it is rotten there. The property rights to this property are in the hands of a small company in Hong Kong, which is burdened with huge debts and refuses to transfer them, hoping to sell them at an unscrupulous price one day.
The complexity of the debt in this is simply staggering, as long as you intend to make a move, those creditors are lions with big mouths, don't want you hundreds of millions, and absolutely refuse to give up.
Some creditors' businesses have long since collapsed, and they have been counting on this debt to make a fortune all their lives.
Of a hundred creditors, you may negotiate 99, and the last creditor has already broken the jar and broken, so I want you to give a trillion, what should you do?
What else can be done other than to continue to rot?
From 2005 to 2006, these two years were the best time to close the unfinished buildings.
Xu Teng put Lu Fangfang in charge of this matter, the reason is very simple, Lu Fangfang is the kind of female president who is very sincere, and of these 100 creditors, at least 98 are male bosses.
The efficiency of Lu Fangfang's sisters may be a little lower, plus Cheng Xue and Gu Xueli, Shuangxue Demon Queen, this matter is done, the three heroes of the East who professionally clean up the unfinished building. (To be continued.) )
