Chapter 312: It's Good to Be Rich!
Xu Teng didn't know that he was so sought after when he arrived in Malaysia, and his special admiration for foreign riches is probably the special national condition that every Asian country has, and it should be related to Asia's long-term poverty and weakness. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Fawn over foreign things.
In addition to holding business talks with Deputy Prime Minister Zarak on the same day, Xu Teng was invited to the Prime Minister's Office the next day to meet with the Prime Minister, and in the afternoon he went to the Malaysian Parliament to deliver a speech.
In this way, Xu Teng raised a well-known but unnoticed issue: according to the World Bank's projections, Asia will need at least more than $800 billion in infrastructure investment over the next decade, especially in East Asia.
If Asia's infrastructure is advanced according to China's current infrastructure standards, this market will be more than $800 billion.
This is the focus of Huateng Group's investment in the future...... Of course, this is just Xu Teng's casual talk, he doesn't have the energy to care about this kind of idle matter, anyway, the concept of "Asian basic investment" will be put forward first, and there will be a momentum from the Asia-Pacific Economic Research Institute in the future.
Xu Teng's plan is to reintegrate Wanbo Group and Dongchen Group, which were originally part of the Boan family, and integrate the real estate, construction, port and infrastructure businesses of the Huayin Consortium to form a larger-scale comprehensive construction group.
This idea is beautiful, but unfortunately it is too difficult, Wanbo Group is Wang Yan's team, Dongchen Group is Chen Anbang's family business, the two secondary industry groups want to integrate, first of all, to solve the problem of who is up and who is down.
There is basically no room for operation.
Doing business is like this, everyone has their own interests, it doesn't mean that Xu Teng can do whatever he wants, and he can do whatever he wants.
However, regardless of whether there is effective internal integration, investment and development in Malaysia and ASEAN is still one of the important tasks of the Huayin Consortium at present.
Xu Teng visited Malaysia for seven days and signed more than 10 cooperation framework agreements, which are expected to invest more than US$20 billion in finance, involving finance, automobile, chemical, port, IT and other fields.
One of the most important investments here is the chemical industry.
As Xu Teng has known for a long time, Malaysia's chemical industry has not been able to develop, and has been squeezed by Singapore and Temasek for a long time, and the Gu family's petrochemical investment in Malaysia is miserable.
This time, Xu Teng took action personally.
Malaysia's national oil company has enough oil production and is in dire need of refining capacity, and Xu Teng is of course well aware of where the oil is extracted.
It's just that in business.
The enemy of your enemy is your friend, and investing in Malaysia and expanding its business presence in Malaysia will continue to be well worth doing for at least the next two decades.
Malaysia and Vietnam are responsible for oil extraction, and Singapore is responsible for oil refining, and this chain of interests must be broken.
Since the development of the Huayin Consortium, it deserves to be the strongest consortium in China, the diamond of China's economy, and it is a private enterprise, unlike the central enterprises with a clear label of national will.
In the global economic map, the Huayin Consortium almost represents the achievements of China's economic reform, symbolizes the prosperity and prosperity of Chinese capitalism, and even symbolizes freedom and democracy in the comments of the BBC and N.
In N's report, the structure of the alliance of private enterprises such as the Huayin consortium is simply a model for capitalists to resist tyranny, and to learn from the European and American partnership mechanisms.
Therefore, the Huayin consortium is very safe, very safe in China, and very safe to go out, and the probability of being resisted by investment and mergers and acquisitions is much lower than that of domestic central enterprises.
Even if Xu Teng invests tens of billions of dollars in Malaysia, the "international mainstream media" will not interpret it crookedly.
For the "international mainstream media", China's Huayin consortium is still too small and few, and it is still oppressed by the government, and it urgently needs their public opinion protection...... These Anglo-Saxons have really been active in their own imaginary spiritual world, and they never expected that the problem of the Huayin Consortium in China is not that it is excluded, but that it is too popular, cared for and supported, and it is a guest in any province and has absorbed too many and too high-quality policy resources.
Policy is a very limited resource.
The Huayin Consortium is a typical policy harvester in China, and it is the largest and strongest policy harvester.
Including this investment in Malaysia, the Huayin consortium also acquired the bilateral preferential policies agreed in the agreement between the Chinese and Malaysian governments, including the policy loans provided by the central government to Malaysia.
Half of the US$30 billion promised by Xu Teng is a loan provided by the country's three major policy banks, which is basically a profitable business, and he only needs to pay a very favorable interest rate to invest in Port Klang and Iskandar with the state's money.
If it weren't for the scruples of those central enterprises, where would such a good thing be the turn of the Huayin Consortium.
In fact, the investment of the Huayin consortium in Angola and Brazil is also to a large extent benefited from the country's "going out" strategy, which is tied to national interests and has a very low cost.
Next year, Xu Teng will go to Central Asia.
As we all know, that is Lao Maozi's territory, and Huayin Consortium, as a private enterprise, should have no problem investing in Central Asia, so as not to make Lao Maozi too nervous, right?
Summer in Malaysia is not your average hot day in July, and matches between Liverpool FC and Malaysian national team can only be held in the evening.
Because of many factors, CCTV sports channels also have to broadcast live.
There is only one reason, Xu Teng.
Xu Teng will appear on the rostrum, originally it was good that he and Deputy Prime Minister Zarak watched the game together, half an hour before the game, I don't know how Malaysia played with each other, and finally the prime minister himself attended.
This has nothing to do with Xu Teng, tens of billions of dollars of money bags are in his hands, no matter who comes to power, they have to treat him with special courtesy and make him happy.
It's really to make him happy.
Xu Teng's itinerary to Malaysia this time, the Malaysian side can be called racking their brains, more than receiving foreign heads of state.
The contrasting visuals are interesting.
Because there was no way to wear a suit to attend this kind of occasion, several ladies of the team deliberately chose a Burberry blue shirt for Xu Teng, and let Xu Teng wear a white bow tie, which was very fresh and very fresh.
He can still pretend to be tender at this age, but he won't be able to do it in a few years.
Although there is no marriage contract, Xia Li is still the well-known daughter-in-law of the Xu family, she is pregnant with her second child, and she also accompanied Xu Teng to attend the competition.
She chose a set of silk dresses in Devoni blue, and Xu Teng was dressed like a couple, and she was wearing a hat.
The prime minister did not wear a suit, he only met Xu Teng on the rostrum before the game, shook hands very warmly, greeted each other in English, the colonial relics of the British Empire are everywhere, for the upper class of the Malays, English is almost the mother tongue, and it is also one of the two official languages - English, Malay, Chinese is not in this category.
For a long time, Chinese schools were banned in Malaysia, and to this day, the government never subsidizes any Chinese schools, in other words, all Chinese schools in Malaysia are private schools run by Chinese themselves.
In fact, both the prime minister and Deputy Prime Minister Zarak have Chinese ancestry.
The proportion of Chinese in Malaysia is so high that no other ASEAN country can compare with Singapore, or the number of Chinese people in Malaysia has threatened the "main ethnic group" in Malaysia.
Malaysia has also introduced quite a lot of policies to support the "Juche ethnic group", but unfortunately it is useless, Malaysia's economy is basically still controlled by the Chinese, in Malaysia, except for the state-owned companies, other large companies are basically under the control of the Chinese.
This thing, to be honest, is a difference in blood, and it is understandable to say that it is a racial gap.
Xu Teng came to Malaysia this time, the local Chinese community was extremely warmly welcomed, this ball game, in the thousands of VIP seats around the rostrum, in addition to more than 100 Malay politicians and parliamentarians, the others are basically Chinese rich gentry celebrities.
There is another big difference between the Chinese in Malaysia and the Chinese in the Philippines and Indonesia, that is, the mixed-race rate is very low, basically, the Chinese are Chinese, and the Malays are Malays.
Because Malaysia has been a British colony for a long time, for a long time, the social status of Chinese people was much higher than that of Malays.
In addition, the religion of the Malays also hindered intermarriage.
The Chinese celebrities Xu Teng has come into contact with in Malaysia in the past few days are generally still in the middle, which is not like Singapore, which is completely a yellow-skinned and white-hearted banana person.
may be because of prejudice, or it may be the fact that the Chinese businessmen and celebrities who came from Singapore felt worse to Xu Teng, and one of them immigrated to Singapore from Hong Kong.
What the specific reason is, Xu Teng can't say clearly.
During the game, Xu Teng, who was sitting on the rostrum, had been very quiet, in fact, he was thinking about this problem.
Gu Xueli has lived in Malaysia for a few years, and the Gu family has been working hard in Malaysia all these years, this time, they all came to the scene, and they didn't have the heart to watch the ball game at all, greeting people everywhere, shaking hands and talking.
As Xu Teng's spokesperson and senior partner of Huayin Consortium, Gu Xueli was out of the limelight this time, and during the competition, her position was also sitting behind Xu Teng, saying a few words to Xu Teng from time to time, and passing on words for other Chinese businessmen.
Iron striking also needs its own hardness, and strength is the last word.
Xu Teng's strength, the strength of the Xu family, and the strength of the Huayin Consortium are all the last word, even when they come to Malaysia, there are always countless people who want to get to know the Xu family and take the opportunity to do business with the Xu family.
"I just heard Mr. Zheng of the Public Bank say that the lowest ticket price on the rostrum is $7,000 a ticket, and the demand is still in short supply. Gu Xueli smiled evilly, leaning close to Xu Teng's cheek and muttering.
"The Chinese Mutual Benefit Association in Malaysia would like to hold a special banquet before you leave, and we really hope that you will arrange a time to attend. Gu Xueli mentioned this for the second time.
This matter is said to be the "Chinese Mutual Benefit Association", but in fact, the Gu family is running it, because this "Chinese Mutual Benefit Association" is mainly a social organization organized by Chinese Americans in New Malaysia, and the funder is the Gu family.
Xu Teng originally agreed to the banquet invitation of the Malaysian Chinese Entrepreneurs Association, which was also an arrangement on the itinerary, which was determined before visiting Malaysia, and Gu Xueli did not know that there would be leaders of the embassy attending at that time.
She should actually think about it, but as long as she has a stake in the Gu family, she often can't think about it so much.
"Tell your father that I will stay one more day and talk to him alone, and that there will be no more banquet to be done. Xu Teng didn't look back at Gu Xueli, next to him was the Prime Minister of Malaysia, he talked to each other so frequently, in fact, he was quite disrespectful.
What else did Gu Xueli have to say.
Xu Teng raised his hand and signaled her to stop here.
To tell the truth, in addition to not going to bed, she is basically Xu Teng's woman.
As long as it does not involve the Gu family, her loyalty is not questionable.
Xu Teng originally really considered letting Gu Xueli stay in Malaysia to handle the business in Port Klang, but now that he thinks about it, it is really not suitable, so let Chen Anbang and Chen Yongnian make a few more trips.
In the past few years, Xu Teng's investment in Liverpool FC has been very stable, and on the basis of the club's normal revenue, he has given an additional investment of about 50 million euros per year, at least in 2008, this scale of support is still enough.
If you take into account the construction of the club's new stadium and the large-scale investment in the first few years, the total investment of the Xu family in Liverpool has exceeded 700 million pounds.
In five years, the return is two European Champions Cups, two Premier League titles, one FA Cup, three League Cups, and one European Super Cup.
Therefore, even if it is not the full main squad - the main team participating in the European Championship is currently on vacation, even if the climate is hot and humid and there is a time difference, it is easier to cut a Malaysian national team than to cut an English One team.
Bei Shuai rotated the club's academy players on a large scale, and the effect was quite good, playing a 2:0 in the first half, and in the second half, although the team slowed down the tempo, it still couldn't stop the ambition of the academy players eager to perform.
In the end, the score was 4:1, and the fans on both sides were very satisfied.
Xu Teng and the Prime Minister of Malaysia shook hands and thanked each other, at this moment, all the media reporters present were taking pictures, and the cameras of various TV stations were also pointed at Xu Teng, of course, the media in Malaysia was concerned about the Prime Minister, and the focus of other national and international media was obviously only Xu Teng.
£700 million.
Although several attempts to buy Messi have been unsuccessful, the current squad is definitely a fighter level among the big clubs, with five consecutive semi-finals, three finals and two Champions League victories in the past five years.
Pirlo, Deco, Alonso, Gerrard, Senna's midfield combination can be called luxurious, and there is a two-striker combination of Torres and Villa in the front, except for the coach who likes to toss around, the rest is basically perfect.
Money, spent.
Even if it's not worth the money, the global effect is incomparable.
Why should Xu Teng keep a low profile, because as long as he appears, he will always be the focus of media attention, the business world, the entertainment world, the sports world, all kinds of halo focus, as long as he is willing, he can make headlines in various media with a word.
Even if he is overseas, as the chairman of the Huayin Consortium and the chairman of the Liverpool Club, Xu Teng is still above 10,000 people.
This is not the later Suning acquisition of Inter Milan and the like's operation can be compared, the Xu family is the first to make the trend, and it is real money, investing 700 million pounds in five years to build the team, laying the foundation of the giants in the next 30 years in one fell swoop.
The new stadium will be officially opened next year, the club's revenue will increase by another 20%, the club's viewing share in the Premier League will be large enough, and the commercial sponsorship and promotion expenses will be high enough.
Aside from the top two teams in the Spanish Super League and Manchester United, Liverpool has the fourth highest club revenue in the world.
The BMW Group, which has never sponsored the team, also provided car brand sponsorship to the Liverpool club under the lobbying of the Xu family, and the team sponsored brands were Rolls-Royce and BMW series.
Nike won the contract of Manchester United, and in the Premier League, Liverpool is Adi's top name, and the sponsorship fee is on par with Nike and Manchester United, Adi and Real Madrid.
In the area of commercial promotion, Liverpool's momentum is by no means weaker than Manchester United's.
Of course, Manchester United is actually under the Huayin consortium, but Fuxin International Trust and Investment Company is responsible for holding all the shares.
Football, the number one sport in the world.
This is the only reason why the Xu family wants to invest in football.
At least this time in Malaysia, Xu Teng got a part of the return, the unparalleled reputation, the envy of everyone, and the financial resources that amazed the world, this is the return that the Xu family has received.
A few days later.
Xu Teng returned from Malaysia.
In the conference cabin of the A330 luxury jet, he played with a glass of Hennessy cognac and watched everyone go about their calculations, before leaving, they signed a new agreement with Malaysia to increase the investment in exchange for the extension of the concession of Port Klang Phase 3 to 40 years.
The new investment will be in the petrochemical sector.
It's a given.
Malaysia is in dire need of investment in the petrochemical industry to expand a world-leading petrochemical production base, and has neither the money nor the technology, so it can only ask the Huayin consortium to help.
In some key technologies, the Huayin Consortium also works for Sinopec, but it doesn't matter, Sinopec will not play the trick of technical blockade with the Huayin Consortium.
The question now is whether the investment will be recovered.
The biggest obstacle is that the oil price is too high, even if it is to use Malaysian oil, the cost is still very high, this petrochemical base is aimed at the whole of Malaysia, and has to buy imported oil to make up for the lack of production capacity.
According to the agreement signed between Xu Teng and the Malaysian side, if all goes well, the Iskandar petrochemical plant will gradually become the largest petrochemical base in Southeast Asia.
Of course, Xu Teng is not in a hurry, no matter how smooth it is, the second phase will be put into operation five years later, and the third phase is planned to be more long-term, and oil prices have already fallen.
He just took the opportunity to build an oil storage base in Malaysia, with a total reserve of 10 million tons of oil, which is drizzle in China, and in ASEAN, this is a bit too exaggerated, and the strategic oil reserve stocks of the entire ASEAN countries combined cannot reach this scale.
Mei Jiali's account was calculated quickly, and she deliberately sat opposite Xu Teng's desk, as if she had something to say.
"Have a drink with me, we haven't talked alone for a long time. Xu Teng took a cup for her, poured a glass of cognac, touched the glass slightly, and smiled a little ambiguously.
What does the relationship between the two say?
Forever lover!
Time is carving and changing everyone.
After ten years of struggle and hard work in the business field, and winning and losing emotionally, it was not until this year that Mei Jiali seemed to have finally learned to be indifferent, and the years made her old and gave her elegance.
She never seems to be able to learn to be calm, she is still so busy, but she is more calm, every minute, every second, when she raises her eyes to look at you, those silver-gray eyes are calm and silent.
Her cheeks were originally smooth and white, like a boiled egg with a shell, but now she has quietly appeared a little bit of pigmentation, and the whites of her eyes are also a little yellow, not as bright and beautiful as before.
But in Xu Teng's heart, she will always be one of the most special goddesses of Shuangli.
Xu Teng didn't take the liberty of shaking her hand, he didn't touch her skin, he just looked at her quietly and smiled.
"You're so bold that you suddenly agreed to such a big deal. Although Mei Jiali said this, her smile and eyes clearly said that she would always support this man, whether it was right or wrong.
The two are separated, but that doesn't mean they don't love each other anymore.
On the contrary, it is precisely because of the separation that this kind of love seems extraordinarily tenacious, as if everything in life is lost, and the feeling of death will be lost to it.
"I just think that international oil prices can't always be so high, the Chinese have a saying, the higher you climb, the worse you fall, how oil prices fall, when they fall, I don't know." All I know is that sooner or later, you might as well think of it as a gamble. Xu Teng's meaning is simple: if oil prices fall, he will invest heavily in the second and third phases of the Iskandar petrochemical base in exchange for a 10-year extension of the concession for Port Klang's third port area.
The planned investment of $17 billion, in exchange for a 10-year concession, and a time period from 2043 to 2053, Xu Teng believes it must be worth it.
Facts speak louder than words, as long as the three port areas of Port Klang are built, Malaysia's commercial and political value to China will definitely be higher than Singapore's, and far above Singapore's.
Singapore, a small place like Singapore, has no military potential at all, and is destined to take refuge in the United States, follow the United States, and protect its national security.
Many years later, even if Singapore decides to switch to the Chinese camp, the big picture has already been decided, and which side the country turns to is simply dispensable.
China's choice is Malaysia, and Malaysia will choose China sooner or later before Singapore, and more than a decade earlier.
All of this is destined to mean that Xu Teng and the Huayin Consortium will never lose money on their investments in Malaysia.
It's not even the difference between losing and winning.
It can not only make money, but also influence the policy preferences of one country and constrain the economic situation of another country...... The economy is the basis of military and politics, and if the economy collapses, then what is there to talk about?
Xu Teng admits that Singapore is now a successful country, especially in the ASEAN camp, which is simply not too successful, but as the old saying goes, the higher you climb, the worse you fall.
In other words, the greater the ambition, the more miserable the death.
It has a good fate, mixed up in a very high position, and then has always wanted to stay in this position, actively asking China to respect "international law", suggesting that the United States strengthen the Asia-Pacific rebalance, and fully support the United States to promote the TPP strategy.
For the sake of mixing well, it's really ...... Anything can be done.
Everyone is fighting for the fortune of the country, and whoever wins and who loses will have their own destiny.
After all, Xu Teng is the chairman of a consortium, he can't be an enemy of a country's government, he is just doing business, doing something to make money by the way, that's all.
It's just that the Huayin Consortium has developed to today's scale, and its strength is strong enough, and there are some things that will still have a very good effect. It would be nice if the investment of the Huayin consortium could reduce Singapore's GDP growth from 2% to 1.5%, even if it was a 0.5 percentage point decline.
The A330 luxury jet worth 240 million euros soars in the sky, and the feeling of flying out is not Lingyun's ambition, but a trench, really trench.
Xu Teng played with the glass of bright red cognac in his hand, smiling a little shallowly, a little playful, at this moment, he could only say, it's good to be rich, you can do whatever you want, the trip to Malaysia is just the beginning. (To be continued.) )
