Chapter 203: Dog eats dog, good thing!
On July 22, 2004, Watteng Automobile and BMW officially signed a framework agreement on industrial alliance cooperation in the BMW headquarters building in Munich, and Freshton Automobile Company and British Phoenix Capital held 19.73% of the shares of BMW. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Huateng Automobile acquired the British MG&ROVER Automobile Company with immediate effect, BMW AG holds a 15.5% stake, according to this announcement, the Chinese name of MG car is "MG", and the Chinese name of Rover car is "Roewe".
At the same time, the two companies will re-establish a new joint venture in the Chinese market, each holding a 50% stake, to produce the BMW 2, 4, 5 and X series models.
What the hell is Huateng Automobile Company?
This is a big question, the global automotive community is confused, if a company like Ford and General Motors wants to take a stake in BMW, the two sides may be reluctant to start negotiations, and the final price to pay will be very staggering.
Soon, more information was reported in depth by the media, and Watteng Auto and Phoenix Capital paid a price of up to 7 billion euros, a premium of more than 30%, in order to launch the deal, and the main profit was the Quandt family, BMW's largest shareholder, and three other institutional shareholders, including Allianz, ING and München Industrial Investment.
When the news came out, it was an earthquake for the country.
There are two problems in this incident that are very scary, one is that no one can imagine that a domestic car company can hold a stake in BMW, and the other is which province will Huateng Automobile and the new joint venture company be placed in?
Everyone doesn't know which province it will be, only that it will definitely not be in Jianghuai Province.
Xu Teng has not yet returned to China, and the provinces have actively sent people to the headquarters of Huateng Group to lobby, especially those provinces that do not have automobile companies.
Jianghuai Province watched the comrades from various provinces enter and leave the Jiangzhou Airport every day, and they didn't say a word of greeting, and they were sour in their hearts, and from top to bottom, they almost scolded Song ten times.
Outcome.
God has turned.
Huateng Group signed a cooperation framework agreement with BMW on July 22, and officially announced on August 14 that Huateng Automobile Company and Huateng BMW AG will choose Jiangbin Automobile Industrial Park in Jiangzhou as the main production base.
No one can understand the reason for this.
It was impossible for Xu Teng to tell anyone, in short, this time it was really fine.
Bustling and fighting, all for profit.
When Huateng Group made an announcement on this day, Xu Teng had already flown to Lapuya Coast Manor in Koh Samui for a vacation, and for at least a week, he really didn't have to worry about anything, enjoying life comfortably, enjoying the sun and the beach.
Then, he's going to spend three weeks thinking about it, running too fast and getting the eggs.
Even if his "fast" is built on the basis of the Huayin system, there is almost no so-called capital flow pressure, the four major capital consortia of the Huayin system themselves are the largest buffer, and the last buffer is the three network technology companies directly held by the Xu family: Apple, Google and Tencent.
Xia Li is more miserable, she works three days a week, records two programs, is not busy, but she also has no annual leave, unless the ratings of those two programs are broken by her and Jiang Yingyu.
Zeng Quinoa also has to wait a week.
Therefore, Xu Teng just went to the island first with Mei Jiali, as well as Hua Lingling and a few waitresses, and had a lot of fun.
It wasn't until Gu Xueli suddenly arrived on Koh Samui unexpectedly and drove a jeep into Lapuya Manor, the security guard stopped her and waited for two hours before arranging for her to go to the manor to meet Xu Teng.
Because Xu Teng was taking a nap, after waking up, he did a Thai herbal spa in a seaside four-pillar pavilion in the manor, and enjoyed the sea breeze with Mei Jiali leisurely on the hanging chair.
The young couple chatted for a few words before deciding to let Gu Xueli come over and formally persuade Gu Xueli to withdraw from Starfish Holdings.
During this time, Xu Teng is changing himself and returning his life to a state that can make him more satisfied, the kind of state that is leisurely and can really observe the Huateng system from the outside.
In fact, this time he went to Europe to acquire MG&Rover company, Xu Teng has a very special understanding of himself, just like pushing open a door in his life, suddenly opening up, and then calming and comfortable.
He suddenly realized that when he cared too much about things, he would lose the most important things, such as self, emotions, and family.
In this regard, Ms. Claten of the Quandt family is a real person who has come to talk to Xu Teng, saying that she works two days a month, one day at the board of directors of Altana and the other day at the board of directors of BMW, and if the company is fine, she does not need to make any decisions.
Although she holds a 50.1 percent stake in Altana Pharmaceuticals and a 12.5 percent stake in BMW, she is by no means the chairman of both companies, but has appointed a person she can trust.
Xu Teng definitely can't do this, but he is also ready to relax, make more time, walk a little slower, and look at the scenery around him.
The sea breeze was blowing, he was leaning in the sling chair wearing sunglasses, wearing a pair of violet swimming trunks, and swaying in the wind with his open mind, if it wasn't for Gu Xueli coming over, he was going to swim along the coast with Mei Jiali at this time.
Mei Jiali and Hua Lingling chatted in the tea house next to them, slowly peeling the pineapple with a fruit knife.
It wasn't until Gu Xueli came over that Hua Lingling knew that the three of them were going to talk about business, so she got up and avoided it.
It's still quite embarrassing at this moment.
The Gu family in Gyeongju snatched the Jianghuai PX project first, fought hard, and took away Xi Yongan, and the damage caused to the Huayin system was simply calculated in tons, in case the share reform quota of the Provincial Rural Commercial Bank and Jiangzhou Commercial Bank was snatched away, it would be an enmity that would not be shared with the sky, and it would not die.
Gu Xueli was very generous, wearing a very beautiful white dress, and walked to the pavilion with a blue folder.
Mei Jiali smiled and asked her to sit down, and asked someone to send her a glass of juice, looking elegant and pleasant, "Long time no see, how are you doing lately?" She won, no matter in which aspect, she made Xu Teng adapt to a very manly life, except that she and Xia Li are irreplaceable, and even Zeng Quinoa was quietly squeezed out.
She is quiet, at ease, and enjoying the world of two people with the man she likes.
Gu Xueli: It's nothing.
"Thanks for your concern, it's okay. Gu Xueli handed the blue folder to Mei Jiali, "I came this time, in fact, I want to explain a little misunderstanding, and by the way, I also apologize for my parents for stealing the PX project." If you really want to make an investment in this, my parents are willing to return the project!"
"Thank you for your kindness, we have launched new PX investments in Shaanxi Province and Hainan, and PX projects in Ningzhou and Nantong are also in operation. Four points, each with a start-up capital of 7 billion, as long as you can grab it, then grab it slowly. Mecarrie smiled, as if she didn't mind at all.
She relied on the help of Huayin and her mother's fourth aunt to reorganize the entire Macau Fuxin Group, and at the same time incorporated into Huayin, becoming the fifth largest capital consortium of Huayin, and its capital operation capacity has been greatly increased, and it has been able to operate four PX projects with an annual output of 600,000 tons at the same time, and reserve the second and third phases of the project plan.
She has teamed up with CNOOC before, and it is true that she is not an opponent of PetroChina, but this time, through the network of Huayin, she has two projects to choose to cooperate with Sinopec, and the Nantong and Hainan projects continue to cooperate with CNOOC.
"I know that your strength is profound, and our Gu family is far from being an opponent, but you don't have to be so proud, right?" Gu Xueli was a little angry, after all, she didn't know about this matter, and after that, she repeatedly persuaded her parents to return the project to Xu Teng and Mei Jiali.
Family and affection are forever severed, and she can't help it.
"Why can't I be complacent?" Mei Jiali looked puzzled, and pushed back the blue folder sent by Gu Xueli, "I don't care much about the px thing. I don't care what price you paid for helping your Gu family in Beijing for a few months, but if you take Xi Yongan away and provoke a person surnamed Song, our losses are very miserable. In this case, what friends do we pretend? I have already negotiated with you about your shares in Haixing Holdings, and we will collectively invest in the buyout, so that we can get together and disperse!"
"What do you mean?" Gu Xueli was completely angry, Mei Jiali was hinting that she had gone to someone else's bed, she turned to look at Xu Teng in the hanging chair, "Xiao Teng, you don't plan to speak?"
"What do you want me to say? Since ancient times, good and evil have not been separated, or is the road one foot high, and the magic one foot high?" Xu Teng sighed, he really didn't have anything to say to Gu Xueli, since he opened his mouth, he simply asked the other party, "Xueli, I didn't want to say it so cruelly, but how many friends do you think are worth my billions of losses, and I can still meet and chat a few words, and talk to you about getting together and dispersing?"
Fuxin International's JAC PX project is a gradual progress in the first, second and third phases, to invest 30 billion yuan in the province, everyone knows, the final forecast is about six years to return to the cost, followed by a net profit of billions a year, which does not count the policy preferences and other support clauses given by the province, not counting inflation and RMB appreciation.
Ten years later, the stage of catching low oil prices is the peak period of making money.
Although the funds are in their hands, they can also invest in four projects in Ningzhou, Nantong, Hainan and Shaanxi provinces, but to be honest, the conditions they negotiated with Xi Yongan are not as good as the conditions they initially negotiated with Xi Yongan, and the risk of investing in other provinces is relatively high.
As for the possible risks of Jiangzhou Commercial Bank and Jianghuai Rural Commercial Bank, Xu Teng has not yet settled accounts with the other party.
In short, he lost to the bones this time, and he and Xi Yongan tried their best to play, and finally became a crane and mussel competition, the fisherman profited, and the Gu family in Gyeongju made a lot of money.
"Yes, we are indeed going to get together and disperse, my parents agreed to immigrate, this is the Gu family's assets that are ready to sell, I selected the part that has no problems at all, and sold it to the Huateng system at a discount. Gu Xueli didn't have anything to be angry about, this was the path she had chosen, and threw the blue folder back to Xu Teng.
She picked up a piece of pineapple juice on the tea table and drank it with a straw, feeling in her heart, how could the relationship between her and Xu Teng become like this?
"Are you leaving?" Xu Tenghe laughed evilly, didn't look at these lists, thought about it, and asked Gu Xueli, "Why?"
"We have our own channels of information, and some elders have advised my parents to leave early, and I don't want them to stay...... In any case, my grandfather was a man of merit. Gu Xueli also sighed, although the Gu family won this game, in fact, it was just a matter of fighting for a while longer.
His parents and two uncles didn't feel the need to leave, and after she persuaded them for so long, the Gu family decided to immigrate to Singapore, sell all their current assets, launder the money, and then reinvest in the country, keep a low profile, and continue to live a life of human beings anyway.
Xu Teng finally opened the list and read it, the price was not high, the Gu family was really eager to get rid of it, and there was no problem with this part that Gu Xueli sorted out, according to the Gu family's meaning, 700 million US dollars would be taken away.
"What about the rest of the part, who are you going to give it to?" Xu Teng referred to the most criticized Qingyun Petrochemical Group, which was forcibly seized by the Gu family by a lot of means, accounting for almost 1/3 of the Gu family's total assets, the core part of the core assets.
Jianghuai Province has Jiangzhou, Huaizhou, Gyeongju three big cities, all of which have been the provincial capital in history, the earliest is Gyeongju, the Ming and Qing dynasties changed to Huaizhou, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was changed to Jiangzhou.
At present, Gyeongju is a typical old chemical base in Jianghuai Province, and half of the land in the old urban area is three petrochemical plants and one petrochemical machinery factory in Gyeongju, which later fell into the hands of the Gu family and became the Qingyun Petrochemical Group.
In the past, 70% of the real estate business in Gyeongju was done by Qingyun Group, and the remaining 30% also belonged to various branches of the Qingyun system.
These are the biggest original sins of the Gu family, only they firmly believe that the Gu family will never decline, and those who make trouble are Diao Min.
Now I finally feel bad, especially after the news of Huateng's northward trip to Shaanxi Province and its stake in BMW, the Gu family realized that what Gu Xueli said was very right, Huateng was a consortium that could really kill them, and the Huayin department behind the scenes would strangle them sooner or later.
The Gu family can spend hundreds of millions to protect themselves, and the Huayin system can also spend a billion to kill them, but the Huayin system disdains to do so.
"After the PX project is returned to you, Gyeongju Petrochemical Group will sell it to someone else, and you have no intention of taking over it anyway, and you may not be able to keep it. Gu Xueli hopes that Xu Teng can trust her again and do the Gu family a favor, "Don't worry, I will strip out the cleanest and best quality assets, and sell these absolutely problematic assets to you, and the price is not high, I just hope that you can use the power of Huayin to find a foreign investment institution to take over." ”
Xu Teng was not in a hurry to answer.
The Gu family hopes that Huayin will directly trade in US dollars and euros and quickly withdraw abroad.
Xu Teng was unhappy to let the Gu family escape so leisurely, but this problem is very realistic, as long as the Gu family wants to run, even if Huayin does not help, the Gu family can still launder money in China through underground money banks.
Huamei Iron has this kind of strength, but it is not as easy as Huayin, and the operation has to be broken into parts, and the process is complex and long.
"I know that you want our Gu family to die ugly, but if we stay, then we can only join forces with Hua Coal and Iron to deal with you, and you don't think it will be easy for you in Jianghuai Province. We are gone, the best quality assets are left to you, and the remaining assets are left to Hua Coal Iron and Liu Yinxia, which is the most beneficial to you. Gu Xueli thought for a while and added, "The price can be negotiated again, we just want to leave as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”
"If all of these assets are true, this is a good price. Xu Teng roughly estimated that if there was no hidden debt and financial guarantee in this, the reasonable valuation should be around 7 billion, and the Gu family only needed 700 million US dollars, which was indeed a relatively low asking price.
These assets are indeed very high-quality, appreciation space is very high, there are office buildings, commercial real estate and land to be developed in the three major cities of Jiangsu, Qing and Huai, there are several medium-sized coal mines in the province and other provinces in the Huaihe coal area, there are Jiangqing Expressway Company, there are several four-star Qingyun International Hotel, there are Qingyun chemical fiber companies listed in the A-share market, which is one of the core assets of Qingyun Group, with a market value of about 1.2 billion, just invested hundreds of millions of yuan for equipment transformation last year, and is currently the largest polyester fiber and special fiber production base in Jianghuai Province.
Xu Teng can choose not to do this business, but the result of his failure to take over must be Huamei Iron, and other foreign investment banks are also willing to take over.
Xu Teng thought for a while and told Gu Xueli, "I'm not suitable for this kind of business, I will arrange for other companies to intervene, I just want to remind you that evil will be rewarded, the Gu family will repent now and take out more than a billion compensation to slowly solve the trouble, everything is in time." ”
"The things below can be settled with money, but the things above, how can they be settled?" Gu Xueli smiled bitterly.
"Even if you sell all the companies, sooner or later someone will investigate those things thoroughly, even if you hide overseas, even if you have a special family status, and the judicial system is closed to trial, you will be issued an international wanted person. Xu Teng made his words clear and asked Gu Xueli, "Have you thought about it, when your parents were away with more than a billion US dollars, those old workers in Gyeongju were bought out of service by you, and they worked for decades without a pension." And those tofu scum commercial houses in the 90s, including the dozen or so vicious incidents of forced demolition to death, where are you running to the family?"
"I haven't thought about it, and I don't need to think about it. Gu Xueli is very stubborn, in fact, she understands these things in her heart, but what can she do?
"Sell Qingyun Petrochemical Group to me. Xu Teng calculated an account, and Huayin started to help the Gu family transfer assets, which can almost settle the historical debts of Qingyun Petrochemical Group.
The reason why he chose to do this is because Qingyun Petrochemical and Qingyun Chemical Fiber are the largest chemical enterprises in Jianghuai Province, and for Huayin, they can make up for a shortcoming in the industrial layout.
The most important bureau, the previous two annual meetings, the Asia-Pacific Economic Research Institute affiliated to the Huayin Department according to Xu Teng's requirements, investigated and analyzed the trade pattern between China and South Korea, chemical exports accounted for 1/3 of South Korea's trade surplus, the main profit project is px, followed by benzene, olefins, polyurethane chemical raw materials, including downstream chemical enterprises such as Qingyun Chemical Fiber, which focus on high-end textile and chemical fiber products, are vassals of South Korea's chemical industry chain.
Xu Teng intends to enter the game to solve this problem.
"Are you sure?" Gu Xueli was very strange, she originally thought that Xu Teng would definitely not touch the side of Qingyun Petrochemical Group, it was too dirty and did not fit his image.
"Sure, it's a bet on whoever has the most chips and who's the winner. Xu Teng did not say his real purpose, but said another purpose, "For the province, who is the big profit and tax household, who is the most important to the province, and who profits the most in the reorganization of the provincial rural commercial bank.
"Okay, since you want it, that's easy. Gu Xueli actually hopes that Qingyun Petrochemical Group will fall into the hands of Xu Teng, although it is dirty, but this is the core asset of Qingyun Department, her parents are both graduates of the Department of Chemical Engineering of Jianghuai University of Science and Technology, and they were first assigned to work as technicians in the second general plant of Qingzhou Petrochemical Industry, and have carried out three large-scale technological transformations in Qingyun Petrochemical Industry over the years, and the layout and investment of the product line are very perfect, and it also has the best chemical research team in the province.
The Gu family's retreat is to immigrate to Singapore, invest in chemical companies in Singapore and Malaysia, and have started investing last year, and now they are selling these domestic real estate companies to the provincial consortium, which is to invest all the money in Malaysia.
Speaking of this matter, Gu Xueli secretly matched, she met some overseas Chinese businessmen in Malaysia in the old Huateng Group, because the investment in the mainland is becoming less and less dominant, and the other party is also going to return to Malaysia to invest, and is still looking for projects.
Gu Xueli introduced these Malaysian Chinese businessmen to her parents, and the two sides hit it off.
Malaysia has a lot of oil in the South China Sea, but it lacks relevant refining capacity, all of which are sold to Singapore refining, and the South China Sea issue, Singapore's anti-China index is second only to the Philippines and Vietnam, a big reason is that India, Malaysia, Vietnam and the Philippines lack a complete petroleum refining and chemical industry, Singapore has no stake on the surface, but in fact, the conflict of interest with China is very serious.
The petrochemical industry accounts for 1/3 of Singapore's national GDP, and the main market is the surrounding ASEAN countries.
As soon as the ASEAN meeting, it actively lobbied all parties to reach a consensus statement, condemned the mainland, tried to intensify the contradictions, and created benefits and opportunities for it, and by the way, it could also pretend to remain neutral and act as a broker between the mainland and ASEAN.
Gu Xueli didn't want to tell Xu Teng the whereabouts of the Gu family, but it was estimated that Xu Teng would know sooner or later, because when Huateng was reorganized, Fuxin International held a certain stake in Jinma Paper, which was spun off by Huateng Group.
Mei Jiali is very good at doing business and does not hold many shares of Jinma Paper, but she has retained a cooperative relationship with these Malaysian Chinese businessmen, and has retained some personal relationships, and it is not ruled out that there will be other cooperation in the future, or to invest in Malaysia.
At this time, the relationship between the two sides eased, and she talked about it with Xu Teng and Mei Jiali by the way, the chemical industry is a technology and capital-intensive industry, the same technical level, the more capital invested, the larger the production capacity, the higher the yield rate, and the stronger the bargaining advantage with the upstream and downstream, the more considerable the profit margin.
If Xu Teng does not reject the Gu family, she and the Gu family also hope that Hua Teng's department can invest in Malaysia and invest in Malaysia, the Gu family is not very sure in their hearts, if they can pull Xu Teng, it is obviously safer.
Xu Teng just listened to it once, but he didn't say anything, feeling that the Gu family used to be black-hearted, and now they have begun to betray the country...... The problem is dog eats dog, they really can't bite Singapore.
The petrochemical industry in ASEAN countries is basically not tossed, a big reason is that Singapore often plays dumping, to be honest, the kind of place in ASEAN, the real business can be made big are Chinese, Singapore is also Chinese-based, in the petrochemical field related to Singapore's national fortune, it is really killing each other.
In fact, since the signing of the China-ASEAN Free Trade Agreement, the domestic petrochemical industry chain has begun to erode Singapore's ASEAN petrochemical market.
Businessmen and former bureaucrats from the mainland, as long as they immigrate to Singapore, there is definitely a problem, 100%, and the rest of ASEAN is similar, Singapore has been basically the Asian money laundering center since 2001.
When the Gu family went to Singapore, they went to launder money.
The other center is Hong Kong and Macao, and the headquarters of Huayin is located in Hong Kong and Macao, which is to use Hong Kong and Macao as the money laundering center, and in recent years, it has actually gone to Singapore, because Singapore's supervision in this area is almost zero, and money laundering does not cost fees.
How did Singapore's financial center rise after 2001, in fact, it relied on this trick to fund all kinds of messy undertakings in Hong Kong, and make trouble, and the more chaotic Hong Kong is, the more beneficial it will be.
From 2001 to 2012, it was Singapore's fastest growing period.
After 2012, with the successful transformation of China's society and the gradual legalization of the law, many social problems have been curbed, and Singapore has been miserable, with the growth rate falling to 1-2%, which is still driven by currency depreciation.
The Gu family went to Malaysia to invest in the petrochemical industry, which has to be supported, dog eats dog, a good thing.
Gu Xueli was settling accounts, and it was estimated that this investment was still very promising, Xu Teng was silent, just listened silently. Because the Gu family basically calculates the accounts, they are mainly engaged in ASEAN business, and the competition between Malaysia and Singapore is white-hot, and many policies have been introduced, so the Gu family is also going to take advantage of the good policies.
Xu Teng said very objectively that the Gu family would die quite miserably, Malaysia and Vietnam and the Philippines could only rush to dig up oil, but the petrochemical industry was slow to get started, and it was washed away at a low price at so much cost, which is not the credit of the mainland, Japan and South Korea.
After 2005, this military medal is really half of the mainland's, for example, Xu Teng is now pondering the acquisition of Qingyun Petrochemical Group, using the original foundation to expand production capacity, improve the product line, first occupy the domestic market, and then impact Singapore's ASEAN market with China, Japan and South Korea, it is estimated that Singapore will vomit blood.
The key is that this is not Xu Teng's family, hundreds of private, foreign-funded and state-owned chemical enterprises in the country, everyone is fighting in the mainland market, and if they can't eat contracts in the mainland, they have to go to the ASEAN market to grab jobs, and they have to make money, who cares about the national fortune of your feces country!
In 2003, the Thai government organized experts to investigate the possibility of the canal, and the Energy Research Institute and the Comprehensive Transportation Research Institute of a certain committee in China also sent experts, and three engineering academicians conducted field visits with the title of consultants, but in 2004, a military conflict broke out in the area bordering southern Thailand and Malaysia, and the southern independence forces actually robbed the Thai military's largest arsenal in the local area, and it has been out of control ever since.
How well do you know the situation in Thailand to be able to do it so accurately, and strangle this canal with one blow?
So, don't underestimate the insidiousness of Singapore, they are all Chinese, and the belly black study is not necessarily worse than your mainland, and there is the strong support of the United States of America.
Therefore, Xu Teng decided to help the Gu family, although the Gu family is selling the country to subsidize Malaysia, although the Gu family must have died miserably, but they still have to borrow money to help the Gu family develop.
The Gu family is not stupid, they have not been able to fight for China Coal and Iron in recent years, the development of Jiangzhou's real estate industry is difficult, and they are blocked by the Jiangtai department, and the funds have been transferred to other provinces for investment, and their whereabouts are unknown.
No one can say what assets they hold in the name of foreign capital when they sell their assets on the surface.
This is to slowly knock the bone and suck the marrow little by little. (To be continued.) )
