Chapter 295: An Era of Fighting Fathers
On the National Day of the 57th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xu Teng just got up in the morning and was slapped by the "New Economic Weekly". Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The National Day special issue of "New Economic Weekly" has a full 75 pages of reporting on Huateng Company, which is really level, knowledgeable, and insider, at least a senior partner at the core level broke the news.
Otherwise, it is a professional business investigation company with CIA standards, and the title of the special issue is even more pleasing to the eye - a comprehensive interpretation of China's Asian-style chaebol "Huateng system".
It's over, and the panties are all ripped off.
If it weren't for the handsome photo of Xu Teng on the cover, the handsome Yushu in the wind, domineering, and the demeanor of a Wall Street banker in a top suit, Xu Teng would have called right now, hired the best law firm in the country, and sued "New Economic Weekly" until it went bankrupt.
It's full of nonsense, and it's so accurate, it's not okay if you don't tell it.
What a grudge, what a grudge?
So pickpocketed?
Interesting?
Xia Li has been taking care of her daughter all year round, Mei Jiali is in the capital and overseas all the year round, and last night was a rarity, Goddess Shuangli was at home, and Xu Teng went to the Peace Hotel to dine and enjoy an authentic Shanghai meal.
The three of them came back a little late, and it was rare to see that.
Xu Teng didn't wake up until more than ten o'clock in the morning, but he was woken up by Mei Jiali, and as soon as he woke up, he took over this issue of "New Economic Weekly" from Mei Jiali, roughly turned a dozen pages, and understood in his heart that this was really a senior partner of the Huateng Department who broke the news.
"Who do you think it is?" Mei Jiali has not spent the night at Xu Teng's house for a long time, to be exact, Mahler Villa is also her home, and she chose to leave for the sake of Xu Teng and Xia Li's children.
She had also just taken a morning bath, and she was still wearing a white nightgown, with long wet hair and rosy cheeks.
This weekly was sent urgently by her assistant, she knew there was a problem after reading a few pages, and hurriedly woke up Xu Teng, Xia Li woke up very early and was in the living room with the child.
There were only Xu Teng and Mei Jiali in the bedroom.
"Who knows!" Xu Teng threw the weekly magazine on the bedside table, pulled Mei Jiali down on the bed, hugged him in his arms, and prepared to sleep for a while, "Whatever, this kind of thing, as long as you are a little more professional and attentive, you can check it all the time, but it's not so accurate." ”
"Could it be Jiang Xiaoping who is making trouble behind the scenes? Maybe there will be follow-up hype, probably because a professional public relations company was hired to concoct the threat of the Huateng system, right? Mei Jiali was a little worried, and she didn't have the heart to continue to accompany Xu Teng.
The other party's revelation was very accurate, and it happened to seize the time period when Xu Teng fully took over the high-tech industry of the Huayin Consortium, and a lot of insiders were exposed, including Huateng's preparation to acquire Marvel, and it is receiving IT hardware companies such as SMIC, BOE, and Langke Electronics.
"New Economic Weekly" calculated an account for Xu Teng, even according to Xu Teng's shareholding in Huateng Company at the level of 70%, his total personal assets are close to 300 billion.
It doesn't really make sense.
Even if Xu Teng had this net worth, he wouldn't be able to take out tens of billions of dollars in cash unless he borrowed money from the bank.
It makes sense for Mei Jiali to speculate that the abnormal report in this issue of the New Economic Weekly is related to Jiang Xiaoping, because the core issue of this issue is Xu Teng's source of wealth, and the sword is directly aimed at the privatization of state-owned assets.
The privatization of Suntech, the privatization of XCMG, Anchai and Fast, and the privatization of PN Financial Group and Yangtze River Bank...... This series of problems was targeted by the weekly magazine, which alluded to Xu Teng and Huateng's illegal operation and embezzlement of state-owned property.
Xu Teng didn't care at all.
If Jiang Xiaoping digs out the black materials of the Bo'an system, it is estimated that it will really make the Xu family tremble, and the Huateng system is completely fine, Jiang Xiaoping knows this very well in his heart, maybe he is just unhappy.
Does this matter must be Jiang Xiaoping's troublemaker?
Not necessarily.
Xu Teng's proposal that the Huayin consortium prohibit the promotion of new joint partners for three years is quite offensive, such as Cheng Xiaoting, chairman of Yongle Electric Group, who is one step away from the joint partners.
Xu Teng felt more like collusion between inside and outside, thought about it, took out his mobile phone, and sent a text message to Han Dai, who was in charge of public relations, asking her to quickly formulate a suitable response plan.
This matter definitely requires Chen Daqiao's cooperation, is it a bureau deliberately created by Chen Daqiao to prove his worth?
It's hard to say.
Xu Teng took a hot bath in the bathroom, thinking that he would definitely not be able to take a vacation as scheduled today, and he would not be able to rest at home with Goddess Shuangli.
Coming out of the bathroom, Xu Teng changed into a light brown casual suit, went to the restaurant for breakfast, and talked to Xia Li for a few words, and then prepared to go to the company to deal with this matter personally.
Anything, as long as it is in a newspaper or a weekly magazine, it is definitely not a trivial matter.
He first had to spend a sum of money to find out the other party's sources from the "New Economic Weekly", there must be internal ghosts, as for whether the internal ghosts handed over the data to Jiang Xiaoping, and then Jiang Xiaoping arranged for the media to pierce the sky, these are two completely different situations.
It was almost 11:30 a.m. that Xu Teng arrived at the company.
Today is the first day of the National Day holiday, only the company's executive vice president Tang Hailing is on duty, Han Dai is on vacation, and he called over temporarily, Tang Jun and Li Ning came later, and they arrived at the company for a meeting at about 12 o'clock.
These are all executives who are responsible for the day-to-day administrative affairs of the Huateng department.
Huateng company is actually not big, after all, it is a capital company, mainly for investment and capital operation, the largest number of certified public accountants and lawyers, followed by administrative personnel, public relations departments, information departments and consulting departments, all add up to more than 400 employees, the average education is a master's degree, returnees account for 1/3.
Tang Hailing is one of the founders of eBay, born in the Boston Consulting Group, originally graduated from Fudan University with a major in accounting and the Wharton School of Business.
The CEO of Huateng is Tang Jun, but Tang Jun's main focus is still on the work of Tencent Group.
Xu Teng called them all to the office, held a small meeting, and formulated a perfect public relations plan, and Li Ning was responsible for going to the "New Economic Weekly" to talk to the editor-in-chief and find out the whistleblower.
This incident came very suddenly, Xu Teng suspected that the opponent was a series of crisis layouts, but he didn't know who was playing the ghost and what tricks there were in the future.
However, Chen Daqiao's reaction was very fast, probably because he was worried that Xu Teng suspected him of playing behind the scenes, so he spent a lot of effort, found a little clue as soon as possible, and sent a text message to Xu Teng.
"Prince, 80% of the time there is a chance that someone in the Bo'an department is causing trouble." Chen Daqiao actually had a more accurate answer, worried that Xu Teng would not believe it, so he didn't dare to make it clear immediately, so he tested Xu Teng's attitude first.
The joint partners are not the top of the Huayin Consortium, and there are also a group of high-level joint partners such as Mr. Xu, Xu Teng, Li Jinfen, Jiang Ningyuan, Zhang Liying, and Li Daxiao.
Huateng Department has nine major groups + three major IT hardware groups + three major financial groups, so many joint partners are fiercely competitive, Chen Daqiao estimates that he can't squeeze in, so he simply wants to develop against the current and adjust to the Bo'an department, hoping to become a high-level after Li Jinfen's retirement.
Shenzhou Media Group is currently expanding its cinema line across the country, and it also needs to cooperate with Bo'an...... With all this, Chen Daqiao decided to give it a go, which was a big gamble for him and a very important life plan.
As a result, he lost the bet, and ruined the close relationship between him and the Xu family, and at the critical moment, Xu's mother, who had promised to help him, did not help him.
Although Lao Jiang came forward to mediate in the follow-up, Xu Teng also promised not to pursue it, but Chen Daqiao knew in his heart that Xu Teng was too busy now and needed him, so he was not investigated.
Maybe one day, when Xu Teng is not so busy and can spare some energy, he may turn around to deal with him.
Chen Daqiao has lived like a year in the past ten days, but he didn't expect that "New Economic Weekly" gave him an excellent opportunity, for Chen Daqiao, this is a godsend, if he can handle it well, maybe he can make up for the relationship between him and Xu Teng.
As one of the top media tycoons in China, Chen Daqiao's "Oriental Economic Weekly" and "Phoenix Weekly" are the sworn enemies of "New Economic Weekly", and he has a very important informant in the advertising department of "New Economic Weekly".
Two days ago, Chen Daqiao got the business intelligence and knew that the editorial department of the "New Economic Weekly" had temporarily changed all the contents of the National Day special issue, but he did not tell anyone and secretly sent people to follow up the clues.
At this moment, Chen Daqiao already knew who the source was, and arranged a large-scale public relations campaign within the Shenzhou Media Group, fighting a public opinion battle at any cost, reversing the situation, and proving that he was still a high-level candidate worthy of the Xu family's trust.
For this reason, he deliberately released the National Day special issue of "Oriental Economic Weekly" three days late, just waiting for Xu Teng to approve his plan.
Xu Teng didn't know about these things for the time being, but he could feel that Chen Daqiao had already gotten the news, waiting for this matter to break out, waiting for everyone to be caught off guard, "Say, who is it?" ”
"If I say it's Sister Zhang, do you believe it?" Chen Daqiao said very mysteriously, after all, it involved a high-level consortium like Zhang Liying, Chen Daqiao didn't dare to let Xu Teng think slowly, and then took out evidence, "I'm looking for clues, at present, it can be sure that the specific data leaked from Yongle Electric Group, Cheng Xiaoting will definitely not be able to get out, but whether there is Zhang Liying's acquiescence behind this matter is not very sure for the time being." I just heard that someone from Boan Holdings gave a telephone interview to New Economic Weekly. ”
"This matter has nothing to do with Jiang Xiaoping?" Xu Teng always felt that this matter was a little wrong, Jiang Xiaoping and Mr. Lu, the controlling person behind Fubon Insurance, must have wanted to take revenge on him recently, and it was just a coincidence that such a thing happened?
"It has a relationship, the 21st Century Media Group, to which "New Economic Weekly" belongs, is a holding subsidiary of CITIC Capital, and I estimate that Jiang Xiaoping used his connections to find trouble with our Huateng department, and someone really provided him with an accurate financial report."
Chen Daqiao thought about it, and felt that what he said was a bit too absolute, "Prince, this is just my personal analysis, I guess there are people in the Bo'an department who are dissatisfied with your monopoly in the consortium, and want to use public opinion to suppress it, force the consortium to make some adjustments, and classify some industries into the Bo'an department." As a result, this was used by Jiang Xiaoping. ”
"When did you know these things?" Xu Teng put on the Bluetooth headset and decided to have a good talk with Chen Daqiao.
"Yesterday...... The news I got in the evening, I have arranged someone to deal with these things, and the specific plan I drew up overnight and am about to send it to you. Chen Daqiao lied, and then sighed again, "Actually, I really didn't expect that the battle within our consortium would become so fierce." ”
"Okay, you send the plan to my mailbox, I'll take a look." Xu Teng basically figured it out, Chen Daqiao had enough evidence to conclude that Cheng Xiaoting and Jiang Xiaoping cooperated, but without Zhang Liying's tacit approval, this level of cooperation could not have developed to this point.
Soon.
Xu Teng got the public relations plan formulated by Shenzhou Media Group, which was very detailed and well prepared.
Crisis, crisis.
It is both a danger and an opportunity.
Xu Teng thought about it for a few minutes and immediately made a decision, simply using this wave of crisis and media reports to advance the work that Huateng Company is only going to promote next year.
He wants to use more news to suppress this crisis of public opinion.
As for Zhang Liying and Cheng Xiaoting, Xu Teng had no intention of doing anything, because it was a matter of the Bo'an department, and it was not under his control for the time being, even if it was under his control, it was inconvenient for him to make a move in the face of an elder like Zhang Liying.
In just a few years, Xu Teng's personal net worth has exceeded the 300 billion RMB mark, or about 38.5 billion US dollars, compared with 9 billion US dollars in 2004, an increase of 4.3 times, and an average of two years doubled.
According to this statistical standard, Xu Teng not only sat on the throne of the richest man in Asia, but also officially won the throne of the world's richest list, second only to Bill Gates's $52 billion and Warren Buffett's $42 billion net worth.
On the list of Chinese richest people, it deserves to be the first.
The cruel facts once again prove that this is an era of fighting for fathers.
Xu Teng's net worth, the Suntech power incident, Huateng's merger and acquisition of Marvel, Huateng became the largest shareholder of PN Financial Group, and Huateng is the absolute controlling shareholder of Yangtze River Bank...... This series of big news made everyone feel that in the year-long dispute between Huateng and the International Trade Bureau, Jiang Xiaoping was actually defending the state-owned controlling position of China Merchants Bank against Xu Teng's invasion.
This is the effect that Jiang Xiaoping wants to achieve, overpowering Xu Teng in public opinion, forcing Xu Teng to withdraw from China Merchants Bank, and selling up to 15% of the shares of China Merchants Bank to Mr. Lu's Fubon Insurance.
No matter how Xu Teng ridiculed Jiang Xiaoping, the facts are the facts after all, Mr. Lu is as powerful as a mountain, condescending to look down on the Huayin Consortium and the Xu family, he has never offended the Xu family, and has a good relationship with Mr. Xu.
Mr. Yi Lu and Jiang Xiaoping's family relationship, since they have already helped, they will naturally settle this matter.
In the market of China Merchants Bank, which is as high as 20.6 billion shares and has a total market value of 247.2 billion RMB, Xu Teng holds 3.095 billion outstanding shares, so many shares to be transferred, it is a huge business of 37 billion RMB.
Both sides are vying for the support of public opinion.
When Shenzhou Media Group urgently launched "Oriental Economic Weekly" to compete with "New Economic Weekly", Xu Teng also temporarily flew to Macau to shoot the cover of the new issue of "Phoenix Weekly".
This is a family photo.
the-shunfamliy!
A family of three, Xu Teng sat in a Ming Huanghuali antique circle chair, Mr. Xu's mother stood on both sides, holding his shoulders, and his sitting posture emphasized self-confidence, and his parents' posture emphasized support.
Xu Teng is a custom-made huntsman silver-gray suit, Xu is always a dark blue three-piece Italian double-row suit, and Xu's mother is a dark green women's Tang suit.
The photographer took dozens of photographs, carefully selected one of them and modified it into a poster-like graphic effect for the cover of the weekly magazine.
Since it's a top business family, it's definitely going to have a logo.
The family crest of the Xu family is based on the Hanwa phoenix pattern and the Tang octagonal sunflower mirror, and the sunflower phoenix mirror is designed with three phoenix birds.
In this issue of Phoenix Weekly, Xu Teng's Huateng company trademark was also officially changed to the feather wing logo, which is slightly similar to Bentley's winged logo, except that Huateng's silver wings are spread upwards with a red "S" letter in the middle.
This "s" and wings both represent the Xu family.
The new trademark will not only be applied to Huateng Automobile, but also to a series of Huateng series enterprises such as Huateng Land and Huateng Heavy Industry, as an important symbol of the Xu family business.
These were originally expected to take place in 2007, but they are now being pushed ahead of schedule.
At this point today, the Xu family has no intention of hiding their wealth at all, at least the part that can be disclosed, it is better to disclose it directly, including part of the Xu family's overseas trust fund, admitting that the Xu family has more than a dozen family trust funds overseas, mainly registered in Luxembourg and the Cayman Islands, and holds part of the shares of British Phoenix Capital Group, Apple, Google, Flix and other companies.
According to the statistics of these public family trust funds, the scale of the Xu family's overseas assets outside the Huayin consortium is about 23 billion US dollars, which are jointly held by Xu Zong, Xu Ma and Xu Teng.
This also means that the total assets of the Xu family are at $85 billion, second only to the Walton family and the oil royals in the Middle East.
In 2003-2005, in two cross-border transactions with the Australian PTN and Daheng Company, it acquired all the assets of the two Australian consortia in Fiji and Samoa, and currently basically controls Fiji's banking, shipping, telecommunications, water, hospitals, and hotel industries, and its control in Samoa is also very strong.
Relying on Macau's status in the Portuguese-speaking world, The-Shunfamliy has been expanding its investment in Portuguese-speaking countries in the past five years, with extensive investments in Portugal, Angola, Brazil, São Tomé and Príncipe.
Strictly speaking, Xu Teng is not the richest man in Asia, only the richest man in the mainland, and Mr. Xu is the real richest man in Asia and the richest man in Macau, but in terms of asset statistics, Mr. Xu's assets are difficult to calculate, while Xu Teng's assets are easy to account.
This is an era of fighting for fathers, how helpless.
As for Xu Teng's wealth growth, strictly speaking, he has only inherited more family assets, whether it is auto parts or the financial industry, mainly relying on his parents to support the expansion, and has the ability to manage and restructure beyond the contemporaries of entrepreneurs.
Under Xu Teng's name, the operation and management level of the nine major group companies and the three major financial enterprises of the Huateng system is significantly higher than that of other competing companies in the same industry, and the remaining six joint partners and 43 senior partners at the core level are also the top business elites in the country.
Compared with the National Day special issue of "New Economic Weekly", this issue of "Phoenix Weekly" the-shunfamliy special issue is the real comprehensive disclosure of the Xu family and the Huateng family, the information is detailed and "correct", at least the part of the Xu family's public disclosure is true, as for how many assets of the Xu family have not been disclosed, it is not a part that outsiders can speculate.
In this special issue, each of the joint partners and senior partners of the Huateng department has a detailed introduction, all of them are the top business elites in China, and they are Xu Teng's most important assistants, including their shareholding in the Huateng department is also clearly disclosed.
Xu Teng proves two things in this way, first, the success of the Huateng system is first of all due to the excellence of the whole team, and secondly, the full support of the Xu family, the strategic goal is clear, to build Huateng Company into the flagship of the Xu family consortium; Second, the partnership mechanism of Huayin Consortium is the foundation of the success of Huateng, which is the best enterprise mechanism in China and the best in the world.
In this mechanism, Xu Teng is not only one of the seven leaders of the Huateng system, but also the most important observer and overseer.
Clear property rights, share wealth, and develop together.
This is the core reason why Huateng Company can quickly improve the operating performance of state-owned enterprises after the merger and acquisition of state-owned enterprises, and at the same time, Huateng Company is not only a capital company, but also an investment company focusing on scientific and technological research and development.
Taking Huateng Automobile Group and Sino Soar Auto Parts Group as examples, Huateng Department in 2004-2006 in the automotive industry scientific research investment, including the scale of investment in new models, accounted for half of the total scientific research funds of China's automobile industry.
Among them, only the development of the new car of Huateng Roewe 8, the investment of Huateng system is more than 4 billion RMB, involving 75 technical breakthroughs in the automobile industry, and 13 key scientific research projects are included in the national Tenth Five-Year Plan and the Eleventh Five-Year Plan of the automobile industry planning.
After the merger and acquisition of XCMG and the reorganization of Sany, the scientific research investment in the field of construction machinery from 2004 to 2006 was as high as 5.2 billion RMB, and actively promoted the combination of production and research, and cooperated with 7 211 engineering universities, and 12 scientific research projects were included in the 11th Five-Year Plan.
According to the violation of Huateng Heavy Industry Group, in the next ten years, by 2015, the technical level of Huateng Heavy Industry in the field of construction machinery should reach the world's advanced first-class standards, the production and sales of high-end construction machinery should rank among the top five in the world, and the total output value should rank among the top three in the world.
As for the Suntech power incident, Huateng Company acquired 75% of the state-owned equity of Suntech Power at a cost of only 230 million RMB, and the return on investment was as high as 7 billion US dollars in three years.
This is just a normal business acquisition, the investment company under the Xizhou State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission was originally going to sell this part of the shares for a profit, and Huateng Company also needs to raise funds to tackle the upstream technology of the photovoltaic industry, and invest in the research and development of other new technology industries - this is not Xu Teng's lie, although he actually invested most of his capital in the stock market, but after two years, after cashing out from the stock market, he will still invest all in scientific research.
As for public welfare donations, the Xu family must be the first in China in terms of the total scale of social welfare donations.
Xu Teng did not talk about charitable donations, but used the word "public welfare donations", because the Xu family's donations were actually used for charity very little, most of them were invested in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and other "colleges and universities" in scientific research donations.
In any case, the development of the Xu family has a great relationship with aircraft carriers.
The donation of the Xujia Overseas Trust Fund in the Chinese Academy of Sciences is as high as 10 billion, and the combination of production and research is also a public welfare donation.
It's good to have news.
Even if it is bad news, as long as you dare to do public relations and break the situation, it can become good news. (To be continued.) )
