Chapter 173: The Ambition of a Wealthy Family
Jia Jingwen and Xu Teng are very familiar, they used to drink a lot when they were in Ruilin's house, she happened to be resting in Taipei during this time, there was nothing to do, she accompanied Xu Teng to the night market alone at night, and she also accompanied Xu Teng to participate in the show the next day.
The program Xu Teng wants to participate in the recording is "Super Sunday", which is a weekend variety show of Haringo, which is recorded for two hours.
He went to Taiwan this time to experience it, and realized that Taiwan's film and television and entertainment industry seems to be prosperous, but in fact, there are too many hidden crises, lack of policy protection and support, small market, weak capital, many industry rules are just to exploit entertainers, and the attitude towards entertainers is also very poor, coupled with low salaries, it is impossible to retain people at all.
In the evening, when Xu Teng continued to invite Jia Jingwen to dinner at the Sheraton Hotel, he also chatted for a long time on this topic.
He initially felt that the Taiwanese market was not large enough to be worth using Legendary Pictures to set up a distribution agency in Taipei, and chatted with Jia Jingwen, and his thoughts changed again, because although the market size is limited, local films are basically not competitive, and they must be monopolized by the American film industry.
He also found one thing, even a costume drama goddess like Jia Jingwen especially admires Hollywood and American culture, and when he went to record the show today, he could also feel that these Taiwanese artists worship two things the most, one is the United States, and the other is the wealthy.
The Taiwanese artists who participated in the show together were quite estranged from Xu Teng at first, and later during the recording of the show, I heard Haringe introduce that Xu Teng's father is the president of the Asian region of the American Kangbao Company, and his mother is the chairman of the board of directors of ATV, and the attitude of these artists is simply a 180-degree turn, which is very exaggerated, especially the two female artists, who immediately became very angry.
Finally, I heard that Xu Teng is a very best-selling science fiction writer in the United States, with four science fiction novels selling more than one million copies.
Therefore, after Xu Teng and Jia Jingwen chatted for several hours, they suddenly changed their minds.
At this time, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, Jia Jingwen had no intention of saying goodbye, she accompanied Xu Teng to drink and chat, very happy, and her demeanor was quite a bit of Zeng Quinoa's charm, and her indifference was intellectual.
Xu Teng looked at the time, thought that he would go to the symposium in the Taipei Science and Technology Park tomorrow morning, prepared to go to bed early, and asked Jia Jingwen, "You have been busy for so long today, are you tired?"
What he meant was that Jia Jingwen could go home.
Of course, he would send someone to take her back.
"No, it's rare for you to come to Taipei, you're so happy, right?" Jia Jingwen smiled quietly, lifted the green hair around her ears, and looked at Xu Teng, her eyes seemed to be overflowing with a touching luster, bright and delicate.
"Oh. Xu Teng roughly understood that this goddess was waiting for his invitation, and went to his room to continue drinking and chatting until tomorrow.
Female stars, it's nothing to play.
Xu Teng thought about it, and felt that it was better to cause less trouble, and was about to let someone send Jia Jingwen back, Yu Suyun hurriedly entered the box, sent his mobile phone over, and reminded Xu Teng, "Leader, your father's phone, he is also in Taipei." ”
"Oh. Xu Teng was a little surprised, took the phone and asked Mr. Xu, "Dad, are you in Taipei?"
"Well, I came to participate in the exhibition in Taipei Science and Technology Park, by the way to inspect the chip and panel industry, I just talked to a few friends in the evening, and now I still have a little time, and I will talk to you about a few things at home. Mr. Xu's voice was thick and calm.
Xu Teng always felt a little strange, unlike Mr. Xu's usual style, and quickly guessed that Mr. Xu had subordinates around him, so he had to pick up the heroic style of being a father.
"I'm in Suite 1219 on the 12th floor of the Sheraton Hotel, come on, I'll invite you to have two more drinks, our father and son haven't seen each other for a long time. "Xu Teng also has subordinates here, or two female subordinates, and he must pick up the demeanor of the president.
"Well, it's very close, I'll be there in half an hour, just to introduce you to a few friends, now it's time for you to do something in the family company, so that you can exercise well!" Mr. Xu sighed a lot, and revealed that he still had a lot of things on his mind in front of his subordinates, not only to worry about the company's affairs, but also to worry about his son's affairs.
"I also have a friend here, a female celebrity, who is preparing to drink two more bottles of wine. Forget it, if you want to come, come on, I want to have fun, when can't it. Xu Teng knew that Mr. Xu was still very envious of his son's life, with three wives waiting, and a group of female stars begging to be friends.
"You have grown up, and at this time you are still talking about investment in the film industry, you don't have to work so hard, you have a small business over there, as long as you make a profit, you can prove your strength, and you will have the opportunity to learn. Mr. Xu was talking to himself, as if he hadn't heard what Xu Teng was talking about, and by the way, he taught Xu Teng, and he felt sorry for his son being too hard.
"That's okay, I'll ask someone to send my friends home, you come over early, anyway, I have a few female assistants here, and you won't delay me if you come here." Xu Teng couldn't help but continue to stink.
He must prove one thing, that is, it is meaningful for him to raise the banner of rebellion against Xu Ma and represent justice.
"Okay, I'll take the team over now and let you see what kind of level our team is. "Mr. Xu has nothing to show off, so he can only continue to pretend that he didn't hear, didn't understand, didn't understand anything.
Xu Teng hung up the phone, and could only smile bitterly with Jia Jingwen, indicating that he had no choice but to leave her in the hotel to continue playing. He also saw that the concept of a wealthy family was too lethal to Taiwanese sisters.
Mr. Xu lives in the Yuanshan Hotel, which is very close to Xu Teng's side, and it doesn't take half an hour at all, and in more than ten minutes, a group of seven people entered the hotel and took the elevator to Xu Teng's room.
Before they arrived, Xu Teng arranged it a little, and asked the two female assistants Yu Suyun and Qin Xiaolu to open a few laptops in the living room of his suite, open various work reports, and cooperate with Mr. Xu.
After all, Mr. Xu had praised Xu Teng in front of a group of subordinates before, and he was still working during this time period.
Mr. Xu is really not the Mr. Xu of the past, he is dressed in a top suit, burly and tall, and when he enters the room, he introduces these subordinates to Xu Teng, each of whom is a cronie with a great background.
Among them are Tang Jun, the emperor of work, Zhao Danyang, a predator in private equity investment, Ma Guangyuan, a rising star in the field of industrial economics, Li Daxiao, a giant in the field of securities analysis, the oldest generation of traders in A-shares, Zheng Hua, commonly known as the flower fox, and the last one is Nie Yuchun, a technical expert in the field of semiconductors, and the former chief technologist of Shanghai Institute of Microcomputers.
Obviously, Zhao Danyang, Zheng Hua, and Li Daxiao have followed Mr. Xu for the longest time, and everyone else just shook hands with Xu Teng, only they deliberately patted Xu Teng on the shoulder, which is roughly familiar, and it is estimated that they have seen Xu Teng's family album or something like that in his early years.
Mr. Xu took a general look at Xu Teng's lineup, shabby, just two little assistants.
"Sister Xiaolu, you go and take out my set of squirrel grape pots and soak a pot of Biluochun. Xu Teng took Qin Xiaolu away, leaving Yu Suyun behind, which is to tell Mr. Xu that Yu Suyun is absolutely trustworthy on his side.
"Sit down, everybody. Mr. Xu sat on the sofa first and told Xu Teng, "Son, you are not lightly angry with your mother, of course, we won't talk about this matter today." Dad took his colleagues to Taipei this time, mainly to inspect Taiwan's panel and chip industry. As far as our mainland is concerned, whether or not these two industries can develop is a matter of too many issues. We are not short of funds, markets, or management, and we are short of technology and people. Taiwanese, we have dealt with a lot in recent years, and we are really not very reliable, and we must continue to poach people from Taiwan, but the most important thing is always to cultivate talents ourselves, especially researchers in the field of technology. ”
Oops.
Xu Teng found that he really wanted to be impressed with Mr. Xu, so he asked Mr. Xu a question, "Dad, are you going to kill Taiwan?"
"It's safer to die early, that's what it means. Mr. Xu was very vague, and no one knew who he was talking about, but all these subordinates present were a little passionate.
Oh yes.
Xu Teng knew that Mr. Xu had relied on flickering to eat for so many years, but his flickering skills were higher and deeper than in the past, several realms higher.
Qin Xiaolu finally came back at this time, holding a tea tray, and brought tea to Mr. Xu, Xu Teng and these henchmen of the old Xu family, and looked at Yu Suyun who was listening to Xu Teng with a little envy, and then retired and closed the door of the guest room.
"Dad, don't be in a hurry to kill Taiwan, first lend me two billion dollars to buy Marvel. "Xu Teng is playing in the film industry, and now he is not in the mood to care about bullshit panels and chip industries.
"Hmm?" Mr. Xu almost choked to death with a sip of tea, but he was still very calm, very calm, and reacted quickly with a little emotion, "The business you are talking about, Dad will study it and give you an answer when I go back." China is a big country, and the development and development of the cultural industry is very important, but the foundation of this is still dependent on the manufacturing industry, especially the high-tech manufacturing industry. ”
"Then do you mean to kill Taiwan first?" Xu Teng sighed, estimating that he would borrow less than two billion US dollars.
"Killing Taiwan is only part of it, our real goal is to kill South Korea, Japan and Taiwan, their economies have collapsed, and they can only support the mainland economy, and the investment of world capital in Asia can only flow to China. Mr. Xu was a little too involved in the drama and too angry, "If we can do this, as a patriotic capitalist, the task of our generation will be completed." ”
"Then you still have to invest in the automobile industry, if you don't invest in automobiles, how can you kill South Korea and Japan!" Xu Teng thought about it carefully, and counted for Xu, "Shipbuilding, steel, infrastructure, high-speed rail, materials, you have to get it, so you have to kill Japan." ”
"This is to pay attention to cooperation, to the state-owned enterprises also to leave food, national cooperation, up and down coordination. Mr. Xu drank tea, thought deeply, and decided to give Xu Teng a glorious task, "Tencent will officially propose the acquisition of your daily company this month, share swap, after the company reorganization, you will own about 30% of Tencent's shares, of course, 40% is OK, you can be happy." When Dad set up this company in Guangzhou, he wanted to leave it in your hands, and Tang Jun is Tencent's senior vice president, in charge of marketing and marketing, and you should learn more from him in the future. ”
"Can my mother agree?" Xu Teng felt a conspiracy.
"It's just a small company with a valuation of hundreds of millions of dollars, there's nothing to care about, no matter how unhappy she is, she can't ruin your future. Mr. Xu sighed a lot and instructed Tang Jun, "Old Tang, my son is very smart, but he is too playful, you can work harder in the future and help him manage this Tencent company well." ”
The chairman can rest assured that this is Tang's obligation. "Tang Jun joined Mr. Xu, that is, in the past two years, only in charge of market operations, regardless of technology, after all, the technical field is not what he is good at.
"I'm relieved to have you help him. Mr. Xu obviously believed in Tang Jun's business ability, and reprimanded Xu Teng by the way, "You kid, as soon as you open your mouth, you will spend two billion dollars to buy a comic company." I believe it's a good business, it's going to make money, but have you ever thought about it, if you use two billion dollars in other areas, can you make more money? Have you ever thought about it, can you turn two billion dollars into five billion dollars in three years, and then use three billion dollars to buy Marvel, is that a better business thinking?"
"Dad is wise and martial. Xu Teng gave a thumbs up, he still had to give face to his father Mr. Xu in front of these old courtiers.
"Besides, your mother is so angry now, and Dad wants to give you another two billion dollars, isn't it asking for trouble. You are still young and there are many opportunities to make money, so first do a good job of your Tencent company and use the billions of dollars of pocket money that your parents have saved for you. Mr. Xu said as if he already had trillions of dollars in assets.
In front of everyone, Xu Teng must give him affection, otherwise in this family, who will guide whom is still unknown!
Of course, he has to admit that Mr. Xu started early, has dozens of times more capital than him, and swallows the fattest pieces of meat.
"Dad, I'll just ask you something, Huawei's company is not bad, you really didn't merge?" Xu Teng is still very curious about this matter, since Mr. Xu wants to bet on the chip industry, how can he not consider a pure technology flow company like Huawei.
"Huawei's gang is a bit stubborn, when they were in financial difficulties, my father invested hundreds of millions, and then wanted to continue the merger, but he didn't let me in. "Mr. Xu must be honest, it's not that he's stupid, it's not that he doesn't want to acquire, he really doesn't have a chance," there are many companies like this, investment is okay, want to merge, no. Dad's business philosophy is also very simple, if you want to do it, you must control it in your own hands, and don't go to cheap others. What's the point of you putting money and energy into someone else's development, and the company is someone else's in the end?"
"Tencent has invested a lot of money and done a lot of work in the search, e-commerce and communications industries, and you have to join the company now and lead the company to continue to grow. In our old Xu family, this is just a small company, and it is a stage for you to exercise well. Mr. Xu's words were very low-key, low-key domineering, domineering pretending.
Of course, Mr. Xu is not wrong, according to Mr. Xu's standards, the companies that can really belong to the old Xu family are Tencent, Kangbao, Boan, Bwin, and Galaxy Gaming, and these five companies are absolutely controlled by the old Xu family.
Apple and Google should be more than half of the shares, however, the voting rights may not be more than half, Lao Mei is very good at playing in this regard, Mr. Xu's holdings in these two major companies are also very dispersed, it is estimated that it is disguised as more than a dozen institutional investments, half of the shares will be gradually cashed out, and finally retain a part of the share capital to hold for long-term profits.
Mr. Xu must also have venture capital in Baidu and Alibaba, occupying a part of the share capital, which will also be used to cash out and make profits in the future.
All profits, Mr. Xu will invest in the panel and chip industry, only in this way can he succeed, which is really purely patriotic.
Mr. Xu came over this time, mainly to promote the merger of the two network technology companies of the Xu family, Tencent and Tiantian, to develop together, and completely crush the domestic giants, especially Huawei, Alibaba, Baidu, which are broken companies that do not allow Mr. Xu to merge, must be defeated.
Xu always has this ambition, but he doesn't have the energy, he can't be busy, and he is not sure if he can defeat these competitors, so he simply threw it to Xu Teng.
Actually, Mr. Xu doesn't have any ambition anymore, he bought all the apples, so what more ambition do you need.
Mr. Xu is fighting so hard now, and he is all **** by Xu. (To be continued.) )
