Chapter 279: The American Emperor Really Knows How to Play

Xu Teng once again proved that he is a science fiction writer, but he just happens to be very rich, and he was born in a particularly rich and powerful family. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This includes Mr. Ren, although Mr. Ren does not admit it.

2005 has not ended, Xu Teng has signed a cooperation framework agreement with the six major cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Tianjin and Chongqing in Boao, and jointly established six smart city plans.

Pudong New Area, Asian Financial Information Center and Smart Port in Shanghai, Binhai New Area and Smart Port in Jinzhou, and Western Entrepreneurship Center and Digital Logistics Port in Yuzhou...... More than a dozen copies of the draft cooperation intention were signed.

Mr. Ren said that the local government was ignorant, which is a lie.

Don't these leaders know that Xu Teng is making money by relying on real estate operations, businessmen always have to make money, as long as these projects promised by Xu Teng are seriously built and promoted in place, they will definitely have a very good traction effect on the economic development of a region.

It takes two to tango.

There is local development, Xu Teng has money to make, this is each has its own place, complementing each other.

These leaders are no longer simply about political achievements, but about real achievements and real data.

Xu Teng absolutely dares to guarantee with his personality, he will definitely put these projects in place and have results, it is not a simple land grab, he is not a real estate sale, these projects must be held for a long time and profitable for a long time.

He's definitely going to try to be the best he can be.

To do great things, you must first have money, and secondly, you must have people.

Soon after the end of the Asian Boao Enterprise Summit, Xu Teng began to poach people, without saying a word, starting with Huawei Group, vice chairman, general manager, and deputy general manager.

Xu Teng no longer had to give Mr. Ren any affection, he called in person, Mr. Ren's right-hand man was dug four by him in one go, the upper layer was four, and the middle layer dug more than 20.

Xu Teng's current career has suddenly expanded, and he expects that next year's Huateng Company will double the scale of the real estate industry alone, surpassing Vanke in one step and becoming the largest real estate company in China.

Therefore, as long as it is a first-class talent, he is very interested.

Xu Teng is not digging randomly, he still likes middle and senior executives under the age of forty, the stronger the learning ability, the better, the more stable the personality, the better, everyone, he has to conduct a detailed background investigation, to interview in person.

He picks only the best ones.

After digging Warwick, continue to dig Wantong and Lenovo.

Now who doesn't know that Xu Teng is angry, from Mr. Ren to Mr. Liu, they can only open one eye, close one eye, and let him dig, neither returning the mouth nor fighting back, I only hope that Xu Teng can dissipate his anger after poaching a few talents.

Mr. Ren is actually a little anxious, and in the recent online contest and face-tearing battle, he lost a little embarrassed, and was bombarded by various expert media, and the key is Xu Teng's various fans.

Mr. Ren originally thought that the Huayin Consortium would recover the loan, and even prepared to pay off the loan of Huaxia Bank first, but the result was unexpected.

Li Daxiao personally called Mr. Ren and signaled that he didn't need to be too nervous, the Huayin Consortium was in business, and would not use this method to bully people, nor did he disdain to use this method.

Time flies like flowing water.

2005 is about to pass, in the last month, Xu Teng was invited to the United States to give a speech at the TED Forum, his English level is good, but to speak on stage, he still deliberately made a long time of preparation.

The content of Xu Teng's speech is very simple -- "China Model", which correctly analyzes the operating rules of China's politics and economy.

These American listeners present have long been brainwashed by the ABC, BBC, and the Associated Press into intellectual disabilities, and the two countries are generally the first to have an in-depth understanding of this model. The information they have been exposed to in the past is very simple, basically the theory of China's collapse, all kinds of dirty mess, all kinds of corruption, and crumbling.

Xu Teng does not deny that there are some problems, but he still tries to show some positive things.

During this time, Xu Teng was very busy.

Immediately after his TED presentation, he flew to Washington and was invited to visit the White House again, and the whole process was still the same group of people, except that the assistant secretary of state for Asia-Pacific affairs was a relative of Miss Holmes.

Xu Teng did not contribute to American politics, he just lent a sum of money to Miss Holmes, and Miss Holmes was solely responsible for arranging this visit for him.

Because of these factors, compared with the last visit, Xu Teng received much higher treatment and specifications this time.

Xu Teng didn't care too much, anyway, his investment in the United States could be smoother, the fact is that it was really smooth, including the acquisition of Hyatt Hotels Group, the whole process was unhindered.

Even when Xu Teng used the white glove of SVB Silicon Silver Company to acquire GT-Solar Company and Sunpower Company, he did not encounter any obstacles.

Of course, SVB Silicon Silver is essentially an American company, and the Xu family only enjoys more equity and dividends.

After a few days in Washington, D.C., Xu Teng flew to Silicon Valley to meet with all the directors of Silicon Silver to summarize the entire 2005 operating financial report and investment projects, and to discuss the direction of investment next year.

The 9 directors of Silicon Silver Company, except for Xu Teng, are all Silicon Valley bigwigs, with different connections in the United States, and currently have more than 30 project investments, and more than 20 projects are being investigated.

Overall, it's good.

After the board meeting in the morning, Xu Teng held business talks with Masayoshi Son of Japan's SoftBank at the Silicon Valley Marriott Hotel in Fremont to start the first round of formal negotiations between the two sides on the equity transaction of Suntech.

Xu Teng received $700 million from Gu Xueli at a critical moment and survived for most of the year, during which Suntech's share price rose from 20.3 yuan to 45.7 yuan per share.

Dollar.

Xu Teng can choose to continue to cover the market, and by 2007, the stock price can double again.

However, Xu Teng decided to take advantage of this opportunity to sell 45% of Suntech's shares, and only retained about 10% of the shares.

Xu Teng's offer price is $60 per share, 122 million shares, a one-time transfer.

SoftBank hopes that the price is $52 per share.

There is not much psychological difference between the two sides.

Xu Teng invited Chairman Sun to have afternoon tea on the balcony of the hotel, and both sides brought translators to exchange each other's investment direction in the past two years.

If it weren't for the narrowing of the scope of his investment, he would not have been able to transfer a controlling stake in Suntech to SoftBank.

In fact, Masayoshi Son was not very famous in China during this period, but in terms of capital scale, Masayoshi Son's SoftBank was slightly larger than Xu Teng's Huateng Company.

Xu Teng is in a very casual state anyway, he can sell it or not, he doesn't seem to care about the specific capital gains, but more about what SoftBank can bring to Suntech Power and whether it can promote the follow-up development of Suntech.

Masayoshi Son is absolutely guaranteed in this regard, and promises to fully support the continued development of Suntech and will not interfere with the normal operation of the enterprise.

The two sides almost hit it off, and it took half an hour to negotiate.

The 122 million shares of Suntech held by Huateng were transferred at a one-time price of US$58 per share, and there was a very special trick in this, Xu Teng dispersed the shares in a number of overseas trust funds before Suntech went to the NASDAQ IPO in the United States.

Now, Son only needs to buy these funds directly, without involving equity transactions, and Xu Teng can avoid taxes and leave the market.

Therefore, capitalists are never reliable, not to mention that they can't collect taxes, and the United States imperialists can't collect taxes, so they can only stare dryly, Xu Teng quietly withdrew 7 billion US dollars, incorporated them into his overseas trust fund, entered the country in the form of foreign capital, and continued to invest in the projects of Huateng Company.

The way cash flows, that's the soul of the capitalist.

After signing an intentional transaction contract, Xu Teng sent Sun Zhengyi and his party out of the hotel, and let Han Dai and others leave first, and he sat on the balcony alone to drink a glass of wine and sigh about life.

The money hasn't been cheated yet, and now is not the time to celebrate.

7 billion.

Dollars.

Xu Teng didn't know how Son was willing to give up, this deal was negotiated for more than half a year, and the price offered by Son gradually increased from the initial $2 billion to buy 1/3 of the shares, to $7 billion to acquire a relative controlling stake of 45%.

Good business, or bad business?

Who knows?

Anyway, Xu Teng didn't know.

When he had drunk most of the whiskey in his hand, Miss Elizabeth Holmes of Theranos arrived at the hotel on time, dressed beautifully in a little white gown as white as snow and carrying a delicate gold handbag.

This chick is beautiful.

This should be recognized.

Xu Teng invited her to sit down, looked at her carefully under the oblique light of the sunset, and smiled a little playfully.

Although Xu Teng invested a sum of money, the company that claimed to be able to drip blood for diseases was still a bad company, and Miss Holmes shrewdly quietly resigned as CEO and joined SVB Silicon Silver Company as executive vice president.

In fact, her main job is political lobbying.

Most of SVB's directors are Democratic supporters, but she is the only Republican and a relative of the current assistant secretary of state.

In the United States, political lobbying is big business.

Miss Holmes is already an expert in this area, and tonight, she is going to participate in a Republican senator's re-election campaign fundraiser, and now she is inviting Xu Teng to participate in it.

This kind of thing, Xu Teng participates or does not participate, basically has no impact.

Because for the United States, he is a foreigner.

He accompanied Miss Holmes only to endorse her and prove that she had sufficient financing capacity to assist in the Senate campaign.

The event is held at 7:30 p.m.

It's still early.

Xu Teng was not in a hurry to leave the hotel, sat in the sofa chair and looked at the bay in the distance, lightly turning the glass of wine in the cup, thinking about his thoughts.

If there is no accident, after the $7 billion is cheated, the financial problems he faces in China will basically be solved, which is almost a fateful moment, which is too critical.

Xu Teng almost didn't even stabilize, the fact is that he couldn't wait to sign a contract with Son Zhengyi immediately, transfer the shares now, collect the money now, fortunately he was still stable, after all, in addition to Son Zhengyi, he had other negotiators.

"I heard that SoftBank wants to buy your stake in Suntech, which is a very good technology company, and it is said that once the deal is completed, the contract price may not be less than $5 billion. Miss Holmes kept looking at Xu Teng, and she had an indescribable feeling in her heart, as if she had been conquered.

She is a money worshipper.

She is an absolute American Dreamist.

She really hoped that in the $5 billion deal, she also had a chance to get a piece of the pie, but unfortunately, she didn't have this opportunity.

"The transaction price is slightly more than 5 billion. Xu Teng raised his hand and held the wine glass, motioning for her to drink a little together, which was regarded as a celebration of the smooth transaction.

"Wow, then we should drink more. Miss Holmes got up, poured half a glass of wine for Xu Teng, sat down beside Xu Teng, stroked her golden hair, and looked at Xu Teng.

The atmosphere is a little ambiguous.

Xu Teng didn't say anything, and he didn't care very much, as a man who was already about to become a father, he was not the kind of casual man.

He provided a lot of help to Miss Holmes, but this did not mean that he liked this kind of woman, but she was indeed very beautiful, and she did a lot of things for Xu Teng.

Without her, Xu Teng's several important acquisitions in the United States would not have gone so smoothly and quietly.

"Shun, you know, I like you. The foreign girl is really direct, she doesn't play ambiguous, although she didn't fall directly into Xu Teng's arms, she still calmly and quietly accompanied Xu Teng to look at the San Francisco Bay.

"I'm sorry, I don't know about this, but I really think you're a magical beauty, and you need your help in a lot of things right now. Xu Teng was also very indifferent and quiet, and he was not in a hurry to take the beauty in his arms and ravage it.

Because Xu Teng has one thing in his heart, hanging like a cone, whether SoftBank will successfully pay $7 billion to acquire Suntech Power, this matter is too important to him.

Before this matter was confirmed, Xu Teng basically had no other thoughts and couldn't think of anything else.

His trip to the United States this time was basically no special itinerary, which was to attend TED talks and conduct formal acquisition negotiations with SoftBank, although he showed that he was not in a hurry to trade and wanted to change the offer at any time, in fact, he was eager to trade immediately.

He can only see now whether SoftBank's Masayoshi Son, a fake Japanese devil, will fall for his devil.

If SoftBank is fooled, gives him $7 billion, and has not been in a hurry to sell shares in the next two years, then by 2008, SoftBank will basically be trapped and will not be able to run away if it wants to.

One in and one out.

Xu Teng really wants to get 7 billion US dollars, and the operation of various concept stocks of smart cities in China will be in place, and after six or seven years, it will be doubled against the sky.

It's not market capitalization, it's $7 billion in real money.

Don't look at Xu Teng as the richest man in Asia, he has grown so big, and he really hasn't made so much money.

Neither did Miss Holmes.

Xu Teng has seen tens of billions of RMB tumbling on the company's accounts, and Miss Holmes has grown so big, and the most money she has seen is the $45 million political donation that Xu Teng lent her before.

She's not done yet.

Don't think that the figure of $45 million is very small, Miss Holmes made political donations during George W. Bush's re-election, each of which is more than 100,000 dollars, and in addition to George W. Bush, she also funded other Republican congressmen and senators.

She has a nonprofit organization that specializes in funding Republican campaigns.

She absorbs donations from commercial organizations and then uses public welfare propaganda to fund Republican congressional campaigns, which is a special model to circumvent the restrictions on political donations in the United States, and it is actually very common in the United States, ****** when running for president, many business tycoons in Silicon Valley donated this kind of "public welfare" organizations to support ******.

In return, ****** was most concerned about two issues during his tenure, the first being the Gay Legal Marriage Bill, and the second being the Gay Legal Marriage Act.

This is basically the biggest political achievement of the ******, as for the other Asia-Pacific rebalancing, PTT or something, they are all ruined, and the medical insurance reform is also mixed.

Xu Teng can only say that the US imperialism with 300 million people and 900 million guns is really good at playing.

Xu Teng said the truth, he sat here, looking at the San Francisco Bay, thinking about the various strange situations in American society, and he was really glad that he was a Chinese and did not have to live in this environment. (To be continued.) )
