Chapter 435: The Lady of the Heavens
For a long time, although there is no professional news agency under the Huayin Consortium, through the cooperation with various news agencies and a strong position in the field of big data, the entire Huayin Consortium has an information collection system completely different from that of Bloomberg. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In 2009, Xu Teng was funded by Dazhong Capital to acquire United Press International from a Middle Eastern consortium, and in 2011, it was officially incorporated into Huateng Company.
Even so, Xu Teng did not easily fight with Bloomberg, but continued to cooperate with Bloomberg, and Huateng's own information business only serves the Huayin consortium and its partners.
Over the past few years, he has been secretly acquiring the American newspaper industry, and has been promoting the cooperation between this newspaper group and Internet companies to provide the most timely news and information content to websites around the world.
He increased his stake in Murdoch's News Corp. and Brian Robots' Comcast Corporation, forming a solid framework for cooperation, while increasing the investment in the "China Media" SMG Group.
Until the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post are under its umbrella, Yahoo will also be included in its banner.
He was finally about to reveal his last dagger to Bloomberg.
That's the advantage of a consortium.
Xu Teng does not need to come up with a profit model at the beginning, he can accumulate resources little by little, until all the frameworks are completed, he will stab a blow, and Wall Street Information Group will take a neutral attitude, unite all the resources in Xu Teng's hands, and start a comprehensive competition with Bloomberg and Reuters.
No one can fully explain the relationship between the Wall Street information group and The-ShunFamliy and the Huayin consortium, and Xu Teng has not publicly come forward to support the information group.
He's still not going to clash head-on with Bloomberg, he's going to cooperate, he's going to work with Bloomberg, he's going to be in head-to-head with Mike Bloomberg, and it's Miss Elizabeth Holmes.
It's just that in a very short period of time, Bloomberg's most important customers in the world will be lost.
Xu Teng knew all this very well, because these were all the bureaus he had arranged, but on this night, when he saw Bloomberg, he was still smiling as calmly as before, casually chatting about the major events of the international world, the global economy, and the United States.
By the end of the dinner, it was already past 10 p.m.
Although Xu Teng lived at the nearby Park Hyatt Hotel in Manhattan, he had no interest in staying, so he was ready to leave, but the host Mr. Donnie Dramp was in high spirits and wanted to keep him to talk about something.
Now that Mr. Drap is sure to run in the 2016 presidential election, Xu Teng can't be careless, and stays with his girlfriend Miss Elizabeth Holmes to continue drinking another cup of tea.
Xu Teng is a Chinese businessman who is very good at being a person, even if he knows very well that old Derump does not particularly value his two sons, and only plans to bring his daughter and son-in-law to talk to him about some very important things, he still consciously greets the two sons and asks them to come over.
In terms of age, Xu Teng is actually about the same age as the children of old Drape.
It just so happened that when Xu Teng came over, he brought a set of purple sand teapots worth more than four million yuan for Delamp's family, and asked the entourage to get some Weizhou black tea, make tea in the living room of Delampe's house, and sit down and chat together.
"I was very fond of Chinese tea culture when I was younger, and this set of teapots made me happy, I'm not an expert, but I often do business with Chinese businessmen, and they all love to drink tea. "Old Drape is very happy, tonight is really face-saving, New York's top rich circles have been invited, even the Bilgates and the Koch brothers, who are usually difficult to invite, have also been invited.
Right!
Donnie Drape is such a vulgar person, in fact, his personal cultivation is not high among the wealthy class of Americans.
But he was a very traditional American businessman, a Republican conservative who focused on family values and opposed illegal immigration, even in his own business.
In the United States, the Republican Party is opposed to the issue of illegal immigration.
Xu Teng has a deep understanding of this issue because Miss Elizabeth Holmes is against illegal immigration.
The problem is that the middle and lower classes of the United States, especially the white right, have been severely affected by illegal immigration, and the employment rate is low and wages are low, so the Republican Party must strongly oppose illegal immigration in order to stabilize the basic market.
The Republicans oppose it, and the Democrats naturally have to explicitly welcome it, because the bottom of the United States does not care about this problem, and the middle and upper classes are the beneficiaries of illegal immigration.
Including families like the Drape, who are actually the beneficiaries of illegal immigration.
There are also many beneficiaries of illegal immigrants among the supporters of the Republican Party, such as farmers, and the United States actually has a busy farming season, and machinery alone cannot solve all problems, and illegal immigrants are still required to work part-time.
That's a small fraction.
Now this matter is quite troublesome, after the Democratic Party has granted amnesty to illegal immigrants several times, in terms of the basic scale, in terms of population, it is certainly larger than the Republican Party.
There is also a very serious problem of illegal voting in the United States, that is, illegal immigrants participate in voting, and often vote across states, for example, these illegal immigrants have lived in California for a long time, and in order to support the Democratic Party's victory, they go to the Nevada next door to vote, or even farther.
Because the Democratic Party will be amnesty when they come to power.
In the United States, both white voters, Asians, and many Latino voters are very nervous, because if they continue to let the Democrats play like this, the Republican Party will collapse, and they will not be able to elect the Democrats at all.
As soon as the Republican Party collapses, the anti-illegal immigration force within American society is gone, and the United States will not be able to watch the future, and the Democratic Party will continue to grant amnesty until the Republican Party is completely killed.
For white American voters, and for many Asian-Americans, it's an existential moment.
Therefore, from a basic point of view, according to the public opinion data obtained by Huateng Company through the three major polling companies in the United States, including the surveys conducted by various NGOs and community organizations organized by Huateng Company, although white middle- and lower-class voters in the United States do not say anything, they are actually very afraid of the Democratic Party's continued re-election.
This horror is more than anything else.
This means that in the 2016 presidential election, several swing states where white middle- and lower-class voters still have a majority will turn around and switch to supporting the Republican Party, while the probability of a Democrat victory is low.
Sure enough.
Xu Teng's judgment was right, he and Donnie Trump chatted for a few minutes, and the other party asked who he would support in the next presidential election in the United States.
"I'm not sure that I do have my own stage on Wall Street and in Silicon Valley, but I'm a foreigner after all, so it doesn't matter if I support it because I don't have a vote. Xu Teng replied very vaguely, and when he poured tea for Miss Elizabeth Holmes, he glanced at her and handed over the topic to her.
"I don't think the chairman is a foreigner, and you can always be the greatest citizen in American history, if you want to. "Donnie Drape's fingers are indeed a bit short, but they are still thick, authentic farmer's hands, which should be the more powerful kind.
Xu Teng just smiled and took the teapot to pour tea for Donnie Drape's parents.
"I'll pour the tea, don't bother the chairman!" Ashley Kuna, Donnie Drape's son-in-law, tried to get up and do it for him, but was stopped by his wife, Ivicara.
"Don't worry, in Chinese tea culture, the person who distributes the tea is like the person who cuts the cake, and if your father-in-law wants to be in charge of pouring the tea for everyone, that's no problem. In fact, on this occasion today, only he and I have that right. Xu Teng motioned for the other party to sit down, and poured tea for everyone according to the eldest and youngest, and by the way, said some small topics so that Kuna did not have to be embarrassed, "But in Chinese wine culture, the party in charge of pouring wine must be a junior, or a subordinate, which is a very interesting thing." ”
"Thank you for your advice, my wife, like me, is interested in Chinese culture. "Ashley Kuna is a Jew, a Jewish financial family, mainly engaged in construction and real estate business, but also holds a lot of bank assets, this person is evaluated from an Eastern point of view, that is, a very elegant young man, and very polite.
Xu Teng has been in contact with this person several times, but he has not talked about anything each time, but his wife is different, Ivica Drape is not only Elizabeth Holmes's best friend, but also Xia Li's female friend, and Xu Teng's special partner in the United States.
"Chinese culture is still very interesting, because China is surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea on one side, and for more than 4,000 years, it has been in a relatively closed environment, which is different from India, Babylon and Egypt, which can continue in history. This special inheritance and continuation, which has been continuously accumulated, has finally formed today's Chinese culture. Many Americans lack understanding of Chinese culture, and always feel that the characteristics of Chinese culture are tea, porcelain, silk and the Great Wall, which is actually wrong, because the essence of Chinese culture is agricultural civilization and commercial civilization, in China, most of the provinces have different merchant cultures, I am a Jianghuai businessman, we emphasize two basic strategies in business, the first is to make friends, and the second is to treat the shopkeeper well. ”
"I am the proprietor, your wife and Miss Holmes are the shopkeepers, and Waltander is also the shopkeepers, and the heads of every company I control are the shopkeepers. I give them the best dividends, trust them, and their family is also my family, which is the cultural heritage of our Jianghuai businessmen. Xu Teng deliberately diverted the topic and chatted with Ashley Kuna about the culture of the Jianghuai Merchant Gang, which by the way could be regarded as a relationship between the two families.
"Of course, the Jianghuai merchants also have a very special merchant culture, which is also characteristic of the merchants in most of China's provinces, a bit similar to the Italian gangsters, and a bit similar to Kang Zeen. We are good at forming alliances with the merchants of our province and working with each other, and my father did that, but in my generation, I have both absorbed the inheritance of this alliance idea and changed the scope of the alliance, which is why I have many partnerships in the United States. ”
"At the same time, my relationship with the Drapes, the Koch, and the Ford family is a typical kind of businessman, and in my heart, it is a very solid relationship. Xu Teng is also a person who knows the times, and it is not clear whether Donnie Drape can be selected for the time being, but he must prepare in advance.
"It is an honour for my family to be able to work with the Chairman and I promise that it will be the greatest collaboration. Donnie Drape is really thick-skinned enough, and with the depth of cooperation between Xu Teng and the Koch family, David Koch doesn't dare to say that.
"I think so too. Xu Teng was very calm and smiled, which was regarded as acknowledging the other party's words.
"Chairman, the U.S. is at a particular critical juncture, and I really think that the likelihood of a Democrat getting re-elected is very low, and this may be my chance, because I don't see a suitable Republican candidate right now. I'm different, I'm very popular and well-known in the United States, and I'm very good at negotiating and giving speeches, and I can level up the Republican Party and persuade them and the American people to support my candidacy. "Donnie Drape is really going to run, and while it's a bit early to start preparing, it's not a bad thing to warm up early given his lack of political foundation.
"As I said before, I'm not going to get involved in the U.S. election, but if you can convince Miss Holmes, she's sure to be able to provide some necessary help. Now, it's all my own people, so, I don't have to be too taboo. The thing I want to say about the presidential election, which is two years away, is simple, a good campaign team, and don't let others get ...... you get caught. Xu Teng thought about it, but decided to support Donnie Drape, looked at Miss Holmes, and nodded slightly, meaning that he could support it.
"The chairman is not an American and has no interest in American politics, but I am an American and I have always been a Republican, and I believe this should be a topic of conversation between us. "Miss Elizabeth Holmes actually doesn't look good at all for Donnie Drape's candidacy, but since Xu Teng can support it, she can only do some work.
On the Forbes 400 list of America's richest people, there are about 130 rich Americans who have very close working relationships with The-ShunFamliy and the Huayin AIG consortium, the most important being the Koch family, the Walton family, the Mars family, the Ford family, the Pritzker family, the Icahn family, the Robbz family, Bill Gates, Ronald Pettman, Sheldon Alderson, Murdoch, John Paulson, James Simmons...... Even Bloomberg and Soros, who have business conflicts, can maintain good personal relationships.
In this long list, the Drapes are not at all.
Donnie DeLanpe's wealth level for his marriage to the New York Kuna family is not much higher than that of Miss Elizabeth Holmes, thanks to Xu Teng's special care of Ivica Drape, who left a place for the Delander Kuna family at Boston Life Sciences.
To be precise, Xu Teng single-handedly turned Donnie Drape's son-in-law Ashley Kuna into the hottest new generation of young people in the United States, using the family business to acquire Boston Technologies, and then using financial leverage to buy Medtronic, becoming a young leader in the global high-tech industry and a billionaire worth $11 billion.
Donnie Drap is worth $6 billion, thanks to Xu Teng.
Ashley Kuna and Ivica Drape Kuna are worth $11 billion, thanks to Xu Teng.
Of course, cooperation is always a win-win situation.
Xu Teng and his family also circumvented the supervision of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, quietly and absolutely controlling the world's third-largest medical device company, using Boston Life Sciences to continue to acquire and invest in American biopharmaceutical companies to make profits.
So, when Donnie Drape decides to use his popularity to run in the presidential election in two years' time, no matter how far he thinks he can go, Xu Teng will say, YES, I will help.
This is Xu Teng.
He knew that his investment and interest map in the United States had reached a limit, a bottleneck that would be difficult to break through, so he had to find a way to establish a new balance at a higher level, to make the pie bigger, and to cut a bigger piece of the pie, while keeping all the forces silent about it.
Until 12 o'clock in the evening.
Xu Tengcai took the burgundy Rolls-Royce Ghost and quietly left the Dramp Building and returned to the Park Hyatt Manhattan.
He operated his tablet PC in the car, searched for Donnie Drape's information, and roughly found out some of the Dramp's family information in the NSA database through the prism system, and reminded Elizabeth Holmes beside him, "You first organize a basic strategy team for him, collect intelligence and information that is unfavorable to him, and destroy it as much as possible." In particular, if his bonded list cannot be submitted, it must be kept strictly confidential...... It's a good idea to give a bonded list that you can get your hands on. ”
"Okay. Miss Elizabeth Holmes has the merit of being eternally loyal to Xu Teng, she loves Xu Teng, and she even believes that she loves him more than his wife, pure love, "Although I don't think he's going to be a good president or even win the party race at all, we do have to realize that there hasn't really been a better choice for the Republican Party in recent years." Prior to your arrival in the United States, the Bush family's agents spoke to me to get your support and to elect a third president. ”
"It's highly unlikely, Bush Jr. is the culprit of the subprime mortgage crisis and has plunged the United States into the quagmire of war, and this bad assessment will not melt for a long time. On the 4th of next month, I have one day, you help me arrange the itinerary, and I can go there myself. If it's just running for governor and senator, we will always support it, and if it's for president, I don't think it's appropriate. Xu Teng's meaning is already clear, he wants to unite the Bush family and the Drape family, lobby Jacob Bush to lower his goals, set his target in the position of secretary of state, and represent the oil faction in the Republican system to substantively control foreign affairs.
In the U.S. political system, a secretary of state who does not have the president's absolute trust and delegation of power is basically a waste of firewood.
That's the deal to be made between the two families and The-ShunFamliy, who must give Jacob Bush absolute diplomatic powers if Donnie Dramp is ultimately elected.
In this way, even if Donnie Drape wins on behalf of the white voters at the bottom of the United States, the diplomatic field between China and the United States can still remain stable, and Jacob Bush can ensure that the negotiations between the two countries are stable through various channels, so that the clamor of the American Tea Party and right-wing conservatives will not threaten Xu Teng's trade and investment interests between China and the United States.
Xu Teng also has to keep a record to contain De Lamp and the American right-wing, this is his experience.
He single-handedly pushed Obma to win, although not the core force, but it was also the main force, and in the years of Obma's rule, except for the previous years, which were quite smooth, the rest of the time he was in a very passive situation.
As a last resort, he spent billions of dollars in support of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, widening the rift within the Democratic Party and making Obma a completely lame president who could not pose a substantial threat to him and The-Shun Famliy.
O President of the United States!
Of course, Xu Teng is very aware of the power of the President of the United States, and it is still very easy to kill him, and even just an executive order of the President can solve it.
So what?
The Xu family has penetrated so deeply in the United States that the top leaders of the Republican Party and the Democratic Party know very well that the only way to deal with The-ShunFamliy is to negotiate and raise the asking price as much as possible.
Find a random reason to cut the Xu family's assets in the United States, and find a random reason to impose financial sanctions on the global industries of the Bank of China Consortium...... No matter which party makes a decision when it is in power, it will hit the interests of hundreds of billionaires and big business in the United States on a large scale, and offend these people fiercely, not to mention the presidential election, or the election of federal congressmen and local governors, will be dealt a comprehensive blow.
What's more, if this kind of thing is stabbed across the board, Sino-US relations will completely collapse, because the Huayin Consortium and the Huateng Industrial Consortium basically represent the future of China's industry and the rejuvenation of the national industry.
That's balance.
Xu Teng will not offend any party, he will still remain neutral, even if the political donations he can influence will flow to the Democratic Party and the Republican Party fairly, except for the anti-globalization Tea Party, whether it is the elite of the Democratic Party, the progressives, or the establishment of the Republican Party, they can get his silent support.
But there is no problem that he will provide more "services" to the progressive wing of the Democratic Party and the conservative right wing of the Republican Party at the same time.
"Well, I want to tell you something!" Miss Elizabeth Holmes poured a small half glass of Hennessy cognac for Xu Teng as she was about to arrive at the Park Hyatt Manhattan, and drank a little herself, which was a warm-up, and waited for a while...... She wants to prove to Xu Teng how fierce her love is.
"Hmm, you can say it!" Xu Teng took the wine glass, didn't think about tonight for the time being, and continued to look at his tablet PC and read the information.
"If I were in charge of Wall Street Consulting, I would like to buy the New York Times, not the Washington Post, and I know that Bezos and Warren Buffett have already bought the Washington Post in advance, which is actually helping us solve the trouble in advance......" Miss Elizabeth Holmes did not finish speaking, observing Xu Teng's expression, and found that there was no expression, and she couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in her heart.
Xu Teng may not be a master in the Go world, but among the amateur six-dan Go enthusiasts, he is the strongest capital emperor in the business world, and in the business world, he may also be the highest-level amateur Go six-dan player at the moment.
Xu Teng's style of doing business is the layout of chess pieces one by one, and in the end he can always form a perfect ending, which is his skill and professional talent.
His idea and layout of "Wall Street Information" has been going on for seven years, especially in 2011, after the public relations crisis in the United Kingdom, his intention to control the global media information has become stronger.
After that, in addition to the rapid expansion of the investment of Shenzhou Media SMG Group, Xu Teng secretly used the family's overseas trust fund to acquire the Chicago newspaper group, and gradually expanded the traditional media layout in the United States and the United Kingdom.
At present, through a series of operations and acquisitions, the Chicago newspaper group has held more than 40 mainstream international scientific journals, including "Nature" and "Science", as well as "Cells and Genes" and "International Medical Expo", including the new "Global Science" series organized by the Chicago newspaper group on the basis of the acquisition, with a series of complete journals such as "Global Science", "Global Biology", "Global History", "Global Medicine" and "Global Technology".
In China, Huateng Science Development Fund also cooperates with the Chinese Academy of Sciences to issue a series of scientific journals of "National Science and Technology", covering more than 20 mainstream scientific research fields, and is currently the most internationally renowned mainstream scientific journal in China.
This is a very important thing, taking the world's top scientific paper journals such as "Nature" and "Science" as an example, the final published scientific research projects are a small number after all, and a large number of unpublished manuscripts from the global scientific research field are actually more important, and only by mastering these data can we know what projects are being done by mainstream scientific research institutes in various countries around the world.
That's the most important information.
As for Xu Teng's layout of the "Wall Street Information Company", he attaches importance to the "Wall Street Journal" and the "Washington Post" and abandons the "New York Times", which naturally has his reasons.
However, Xu Teng did not oppose Elizabeth Holmes's proposal.
"It's all your business, you just have to call the shots. Xu Teng turned off the tablet PC in his hand, took a sip from the wine glass, thought about it, and decided to give Elizabeth a small suggestion, "You can buy together, the New York Times focuses on domestic news in the United States, the Washington Post focuses on thinking about global issues from an American perspective, and the New York Daily News pays more attention to local news in New York State." Alternatively, the New York Times is more concerned with the U.S. economy and the global economy, thinking from an economic perspective, while the Washington Post is more concerned with international security and politics. In the future, Wall Street information companies will eventually take network communication as the main body, and you can lobby the White House and Congress to convince them that the Washington Post is the mouthpiece of the United States, more pragmatic, and more focused on the international interests of the United States. The New York Times is more representative of the interests of American capital and traditional Western values. ”
"OK!" Miss Elizabeth Holmes thought about it very seriously, believing that Xu Teng's decision was always right, and in her beautiful blue eyes, Xu Teng was the greatest man in the world.
She knew that she would never become Xu Teng's second wife, but she didn't care.
New York is the flowery capital of the world, full of celebrities and models eager to seduce The-ShunFamliy's second-generation chairman with beauty and "love", and they all dream of sharing the family's trillion-dollar fortune.
She knew that even in New York, no woman could become Xu Teng's new wife, because he was the smartest man in the world, and he had long been accustomed to seeing the world, looking down on those rouge and vulgar fans, looking down on those hormonal desires, and concentrating on pursuing a greater state of life.
She knew that she was lucky, the luckiest woman in the whole of America, and she was the American dream of this era.
