Chapter 289: Hua Teng's Charge
Jiangzhou, Haixing Science and Technology Building. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This is the first property that Xu Teng and Chen Jian first acquired, which was originally a commercial real estate in Jiangtai, and they used the 100 million funds given by Chen Daqiao to buy this building.
Skynet chose to build here.
It took two weeks for Director Tu to select the 40 employees who were initially involved in the entrepreneurship, design the main program, and carry out the test. Xu Teng had to carefully consider the list of each founding employee with Director Tu and Jian Chen, but he and Jian Chen never directly intervened, just watched from afar.
Skynet is their internal statement, and the public company registration name is Jiangzhou Haixing Media Technology Co., Ltd.
This is a very mysterious company, initially with four main departments, planning, programming, media, and social research - Xu Teng hired some of the best young social psychology experts in China to form a professional team to study and analyze the speech characteristics of Internet users and build models.
Change society and do the right thing.
That's what the company is all about.
The company's first business is to serve the local interests of Xigui Province, create some noise, produce a ripple effect, plan some symposiums and social activities, and finally it is up to the local government to come forward and use public opinion to reverse the situation and let the central enterprises out.
Public opinion.
What an important weapon.
Xu Teng believes that this is the first step for the poverty alleviation group, and of course, he will also make some money to maintain the operation of Skynet.
He will invest hundreds of millions in public relations expenses to turn the situation around.
Do a small test, accumulate experience, and let Skynet gradually develop and become the most professional company.
In the future, he will try to infiltrate the online public opinion world in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and he also has a new plan, in the United States, he will cooperate with Miss Holmes, invest capital, and penetrate the online public opinion world in the United States.
Capital knows no borders.
He could have given it a try, though, he didn't know what the end result would look like.
October.
Xu Teng returned to his office in Jiangzhou, on the top floor of the Yangtze River Building, overlooking the Yangtze University campus.
He came back without a word.
For the time being, not many people know that he is observing Skynet Company here, and the first thing he does when he arrives at the office every morning is to open the mailbox and read the work report submitted by Director Tu.
People are blind and need guidance.
In the past, this guiding power was mainly based on education, television and newspapers, but now it has become more diverse, and the Internet is gradually becoming the main platform for people to receive information.
The TT Alliance, which Xu Teng founded from the beginning of his business, and the Internet Alliance, which occupies half of the domestic network media and search industry, has a huge guiding force, but he just ignores it a little.
He obviously can't use companies like Tencent and Zhongqu to do such things, his design is based on Skynet as the center and core, and other platforms are responsible for assisting.
It works well.
Skynet has curated several high-traffic posts, similar to titles such as "Xigui, a Poor Land", "Tears of a Xigui Man", and "Bitter Complaint to the Tang Dynasty", which Xu Teng admits is a little bit of a little scary.
Of course, he also got some cooperation.
In the end, there may be nothing to gain and nothing to change anything.
Xu Teng didn't know.
He just watched quietly.
At sunset, the sunset shines obliquely.
Xu Teng sat alone in a rattan chair on the edge of the bamboo forest in the air, sitting here, drinking a cup of cinnamon-flavored Hawaiian coffee, the taste was sour and bitter, with a little caramel flavor, a little spicy tongue.
Today is obviously a very special day, in addition to the operation of Skynet, which is still very smooth, Xu Teng also got the first conceptual tablet computer designed by Tencent Communication Technology Company.
The earliest touchscreen tablet was designed by Sun in 92 and launched the Star7, which was not successful due to technical obstacles, and Microsoft also launched a conceptual tablet in 2002, but it did not become an officially mass-produced commodity.
The tablet computer designed by Tencent Communication Technology Co., Ltd. took two years before and after, and it is almost the closest to mass production of tablet computers in the international technology industry, using RAM chips, similar to Android's Linux operating system.
This is also the first operating system launched by Tencent, before which Tencent's smartphones used the Symbian system, which was acquired by Nokia and increased the licensing fee for the Symbian system...... It's Nokia looking for death on its own.
Therefore, Tencent does not have its own mobile phone operating system, and is now working with Google to design the Android system of smartphones.
Tencent and Google in this world are the biggest competitors in the international network world, Google is the world's largest search technology service company, and Tencent is the world's second largest search technology service company, Google is exploring the Asian market, Tencent is also exploring the European and American markets.
At the same time, there is also a lot of cooperation between the two sides, on the surface, the two sides have a common enemy - Microsoft, in essence, Tencent, Apple, Google half of the shareholders are overlapping.
The tablet in Xu Teng's hand is only a conceptual product, only 500 units have been produced in small batches, and it has been tested within the company, Xu Teng has just used two hours, and he has already had a crash experience.
Overall, it's okay, but if it's sold according to the current configuration standard, I'm afraid the price will be difficult to lower than 5000RMB.
Because, it is also a mobile phone.
Tencent Communication Technology Co., Ltd. must integrate communication technology into it.
Xu Teng has been committed to developing Huateng into an asset-heavy capital investment enterprise over the years, but this does not mean that he will ignore his investment in Tencent Group, and he rarely directly controls the operation of Tencent Group, because Tencent is relatively stable, mature, and has a good level of profitability.
Xu Teng's work is only to veto all kinds of wrong directions within Tencent, formulate more than a dozen correct development directions, and guide Tencent to focus more on the expansion of the technical level, and become a real scientific and technological innovation enterprise, constantly innovating, constantly investing more scientific research funds, generating more patents, and using patents to protect the profits and development space of the enterprise.
17:30.
Jian Chen arrived on time, like Xu Teng, always in a suit and leather shoes, holding a cup of latte in his hand, a brand new, sitting opposite Xu Teng and operating, without saying anything.
The two of them looked at their own web pages and emails.
Until it gets dark.
Chen Jiancai put this aside, packed it in a special wallet, drank coffee, and asked Xu Teng, "When will this product be launched?"
"Next year. Xu Teng read the new email sent by Director Tu before answering Jian Chen, and then asked him, "You want to ask about TEPCO Technology now, right?"
"Although I have to support your decision, I still have to ask, are you sure this is a good choice?" Jian Chen shrugged, but he didn't really care, sitting in a wicker chair looking at the darkening campus scenery, drinking a cup of coffee that was getting cooler.
"Our investment in new energy is a bit too fragmented, and now we have to concentrate it. Xu Teng also shrugged, opened a new report on it, handed it to Jian Chen, and let him look at it.
Skynet's work is going well.
The contradiction between Xigui Province and a certain hydropower giant has been completely made public, and now there are only three situations: one is that the central enterprise giant does not retreat, relying on the hard policy, the local government does not cooperate at all, and the project is stalled indefinitely; the second is that each takes a step back; and the third is that the giant withdraws and is replaced by a relatively weak power central power enterprise to take over.
Xu Teng got an inside message, the most likely situation at present is the first and third, the possibility of each taking a step back is very low, the most likely situation is to make decisions at the upper level, make an adjustment to the Panjiang ten-level regulation and control water conservancy project, no longer completely handed over to Datang, the latter three will mainly be left to the province to make decisions, so that the second phase of the nuclear power plan in Guangdong Province is advanced.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
In this complex game, Guangdong Guangnan Nuclear Power is on the side of "Dongrun Fujiang" and Xigui Province, forming a 5-to-1 situation.
If nothing else, the Dongrun Fujiang consortium will occupy at least one hydropower station, and possibly three hydropower stations will be developed in cooperation with Guidian.
Xu Teng, the leaders of Zhongrun and Dongdian two central enterprises held a remote meeting in the past few days, and there were only three people, and it was decided to formally demutualize the "Dongrun Fujiang" consortium and reorganize it into a Dongfang Electric Power Technology Co., Ltd., which was listed on the Hong Kong stock market and A-share market at the same time.
The company's major shareholder is Dongdian Group, the second largest shareholder is Zhongrun Group, the third largest shareholder is Jiangtai Group, and the fourth largest shareholder is Fuxin Group, and its main business is the development of hydropower in the middle and upper reaches of the Jinsha River, as well as hydropower development in the lower reaches of the Panjiang River.
Before the final listing, among the major shareholders, there will be PN Insurance, Huatai Insurance, Huaxia Guorui...... These capital companies have intervened to form a consortium of TEPCO, Zhongrun and Huayin consortiums to jointly develop hydropower, wind energy, photovoltaic and other new energy power industries at home and abroad.
As a condition for the restructuring, TEPCO and Zhongrun promised not to invest in other new energy power generation companies, with TEPCO Technology as the only new energy subsidiary.
To put it simply, Huateng's new energy industry is responsible for manufacturing power generation equipment, and Dongdian Technology is responsible for investing in and building factories, and is responsible for coordinating Internet access and policy subsidies - this is the main factor for Xu Teng to promote this cooperation, Internet access.
Huateng can build a photovoltaic power plant alone, but it is too difficult to integrate it into the grid.
With the state and stock market capital to build the factory, Huateng is responsible for providing power generation equipment, central control system, which is the best operation mode.
All parties were happy, and the only one who was unhappy was Jian Chen.
This means that Chen Jian's Jiangtai Group will have to relinquish control of its hydropower companies, retaining only the waste-to-energy plant, and even several projects of the waste-to-energy plant will be merged into TEPCO Technology.
"Are you sure this is a suitable choice?" Jian Chen didn't want to question Xu Teng's decision, but he put in a lot of energy, and in the end he just held shares, which was a bit of a pity.
"I know that you see new energy power generation as the main export of Jiangtai Group's transformation, and we also have a lot of relationships in the power system, and the difficulty of connecting power plants to the grid is much less than before. Xu Teng was very calm, and chatted with Chen Jian slowly, "Just as I persuaded Mei Jiali to reduce investment in hydropower before, the power plant project is never the focus of our efforts, and the direct involvement is too deep, forming an absolute competitive relationship with other power giants, which is not conducive to us to be a larger supplier of new energy power generation equipment, not to mention, we also want to be the best power system DCS control company in China." ”
"Okay. "Jian Chen is not Mei Jiali, he doesn't want to argue with Xu Teng for this matter, he and Xu Teng completed a share exchange agreement and became the second largest shareholder of Huateng Company, although it is not as high as Xu Teng's shareholding rate, but it is the second largest shareholder, and it has to be considered from the overall situation.
"If you have gained, you must give up. Xu Teng smiled, raised the coffee paper cup, replaced the wine with coffee, and drank with Chen Jian.
In the past two months, Xu Teng was busy with the affairs of Tianwang Company, and at the same time carried out the demutualization of Huateng Company, which is a necessary element of Huayin Consortium Enterprise, and inevitably, he still held 3/4 of the equity of Huateng Company, and the rest of the shares were exchanged by share exchange agreement, and Chen Jian, Li Dongsheng, Chen Daqiao, Liang Weigen and others carried out share swaps, and introduced the capital of other joint partners.
Through this share exchange, Huateng Company officially became the fifth first-class company of the entire Huayin consortium, the first four being Galaxy Capital, Huaxia Finance, Boan Holdings, and Fuxin Holdings.
The current situation is like this, the entire Huayin consortium has five major capital companies, all of which belong to the core first-class companies, and the British Phoenix Capital, SVB Silicon Silver Company, PN Financial Group, and Minsheng Bank cannot be regarded as the core enterprises of the Huayin Consortium for the time being.
The situation of Phoenix Capital in the UK is slightly more unique, strictly speaking, this is a capital company cooperated by the Xu family and the British capital, the Xu family holds, and the British side holds the main management rights and voting rights.
SVB's situation is even more special, with the U.S. holding and the Xu family holding absolute dividend rights.
This is the price that the Xu family must pay for overseas investment as a Chinese businessman, and it is also a special way to avoid all kinds of scrutiny and maximize benefits.
Although PN Financial Group and Minsheng Bank have the capital strength comparable to the five major capital companies of Galaxy, Huaxia, Boan, Huateng and Fuxin, at the capital level, Huayin Consortium has not yet achieved an absolute controlling stake of more than 51%.
Chen Jian was willing to back down, obey Xu Teng's arrangement, and make some sacrifices, because Huateng Company is a capital company.
To put it simply, what they do is not industry, but the operation of capital.
They have already mixed into this realm, and it no longer matters which industry is gaining or losing.
Chen Jian used Xu Teng's tbook tablet to open the latest asset statement he consulted a few days ago, every day, the data is changing, Huateng company's shareholding in PN Financial Group, Yangtze River Bank, and Huatai Insurance are slowly increasing, taking advantage of the low tide of A-shares to absorb chips.
Even China Merchants Bank, which has no way to enter the board of directors, Huateng Company has continuously increased its holdings of chips through the trust agency of a number of fund companies.
"China Merchants Bank's share price has fallen again. Chen Jian no longer talks about the trivial matter of hydropower investment, although it is tens of billions of assets, looking at today's K-line chart, he smiled a little sneering.
"Don't laugh at the old man, he's worked hard. Xu Tengman didn't care, put himself and Chen Jian's coffee paper cups on the kettle, and drank them after they were hot, so they couldn't waste it.
Small money is also money.
Xu Teng's old man is, of course, Jiang Xiaoping, the chairman of the Commerce Bureau Group, who is not in harmony with the shareholders, and the Huateng department may abandon the market at any time, and Jiang Xiaoping may also propose a new directional capital increase plan at any time to dilute the equity of the existing shareholders, so as to weaken the equity of the Huateng system.
This kind of situation of infighting and gambling among major shareholders has lasted for a year, and the general situation is very poor, how can the stock price of China Merchants Bank go up, and it has been up and down this year.
Luo Yujuan's Starfish Company is responsible for the operation, constantly shaking and adjusting, bringing out retail investors and other small and medium-sized institutions, and Huateng is increasing the chips to 15%.
Xu Teng is still waiting, waiting for the arrival of the big market in 2006-2007, using this opportunity to cash out and make profits, and finally re-enter the market to swallow PN finance and people's livelihood.
As for Changjiang Bank, the shareholding ratio of Huateng will also be maintained at the level of 3/5 for a long time, and it will never let go.
"To tell the truth, I really feel that your nickname of Xu Shen is worthy of the name now, when I first started my business before, I never thought that we could develop to this point, and I am almost unideal. Chen Jian operated on Xu Teng's tbook, superimposed the capital of several financial companies, made a general accounting, looked at the final figures, and gasped.
"It's just the beginning, it's still early. Xu Teng took the tbook back and also looked at the latest statistics, the total financial assets held by Huateng Company in its PN Finance, Yangtze River Bank, Huatai Insurance, Jianghuai Rural Commercial Bank, and China Merchants Bank just exceeded the market value mark of 70 billion RMB.
Doing business is a shameless thing.
Huateng Company raised 14 billion yuan from PN Financial Group to bid for 37% of the shares of Jianghuai Rural Commercial Bank and became the largest shareholder, and then raised 7 billion yuan from Jianghuai Rural Commercial Bank to purchase shares of China Merchants Bank.
Borrowing and borrowing, the debt pressure is not small.
It only takes a bull market for these risks to be completely resolved.
The appreciation trend of RMB is getting stronger and stronger, the stock market is about to break the ice, foreign capital continues to flow in, and the Huayin consortium has also begun to build positions on a large scale and expand its financial investment in A-shares.
In this wave of market, Xu Teng focuses on the wine industry, because real estate and finance are not good in essence, and they will definitely rise with the market, but the increase may not be the highest.
The amount of his capital is too large to concentrate on betting on one sector, and finance, technology, and wine are all within his scope of operation.
In short, he would like to thank SoftBank for $7 billion.
This huge sum of money came at a better time.
This is the income before the equity adjustment of Huateng Company, most of which was deposited in his personal overseas trust fund, and then through other channels, it went around in a circle, and finally flowed into China through PN Financial Group and Huatai Insurance Company, all of which were entrusted to Luo Yujuan's Haixing Company to inject A shares.
This wave of market is over.
With these funds, Xu Teng will be able to officially take over the three major industries of chips, panels, and storage of the Huayin Consortium.
In this field, the layout of the Huayin Consortium is relatively early, and it began to invest on a large scale in 2001, and the most complete chip design team in China is currently under the Huayin Consortium.
The chip side is not a loss, do design and scientific research, no matter how much you lose, it is only a billion a year, and the panel is a real loss, but compared with the panel, storage is even more difficult.
The panel has an entry point, and it is willing to spend money, so it can buy a production line with a poor generation of technical standards, or even a production line with the same generation of standards, and it is troublesome to store, and the patent wall is too high to break in.
The Xu family really took real money, kept burning money, kept smashing, while acquiring, while investing heavily in scientific research, and accumulating technology patents little by little.
The sun was setting and the sky was gray.
Xu Teng warmed the coffee in an electric kettle, and in a minute, the coffee that was getting cold became hot again, he took his cup, held it in his hand, and took a sip of it, thinking about it.
Opposite him, Jian Chen was also thinking about it.
They were thinking about the same question - where is the ceiling of Huateng Company.
In other words, where is the ceiling of the entire Huayin consortium and how much space is left?
Chen Jian's worries are political, and he is thinking about it alone, but it is not unfounded.
Xu Teng's concern is purely technical, the second annual meeting in 2006 is imminent, if nothing else, Galaxy Capital's chips, panels, storage three major industries will be officially transferred to Huateng Company, more than a dozen companies reorganized into a Huateng Electronic Technology Group Company.
No matter how much money there is, if these three industries do not do well, everything is meaningless.
2006 may be an epoch-making year, after five years of accumulation and reserves, China's high-tech industry will enter a new era, perhaps belongs to the era of Huateng, belongs to the era of Xu Teng.
Xu Teng couldn't be sure.
He has made all the preparations he can to set up the country's largest network public relations company - Skynet, and the capital in his hands will be very abundant, and he will officially blow the trumpet of the charge, but he may also just launch the first round of charge, and die in front of the trench before he has even laid the high ground.
