Chapter 297: Who is not a pit

After Xu Teng recorded the show, he always thought that this matter was over, and the wave of the "New Economic Weekly" incident was about to be completely annihilated, but he didn't expect that a few days later, Chen Hong, the host of the "Dialogue" column, sent Xu Teng a text message. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Chen Hong did not have Xu Teng's phone number, so he could only contact Han Dai, the chief public relations manager of Huateng Company, so this text message was sent directly to Han Dai.

The result made Xu Teng a little surprised, someone actually put his hand into CCTV and suppressed this episode of the Huateng system, and the column team argued with reason to get a leader to agree to postpone the broadcast for two weeks.

The reason is advertising.

Huateng's advertising expenditure on CCTV is at least 400 million a year, and the figure of the entire Huayin consortium will be increased by another 50%, because CCTV's health care product advertisements, from Brain Gold to Mrs. Oral Liquid, from Herbalife to Dong'e Ejiao, half of them come from Bo'an, and the other half are Amway and Tomson.

If there is no such powerful relationship, someone can really scrap this episode of the Huateng system.

That's a lot of energy!

Xu Teng had to gasp and send his private phone number to Chen Hong, so that this friend in the media industry could contact him often, Xu Teng has always had two numbers, the private number and the company number are handled separately, two mobile phones, and no one machine and two numbers are used.

The company number is generally in charge of the chief assistant officer Yu Dameiren, Xu Teng rarely answers the phone in person, and the mobile phone with a private number is what Xu Teng usually uses, and being able to get his private number is still a thing worth showing off, and it is very high.

Xu Teng felt that Chen Hong was not bad, very nice, and the two would meet at the Boao Asian Enterprise Summit every year, so he gave him the number for easy contact.

Chen Hong was a little misunderstood, maybe he was very excited.

After only half an hour, Chen Hong couldn't wait to send a text message directly to Xu Teng, telling Xu Teng that he had done it, and it would be broadcast next Tuesday, and the leader took a step back.

In addition to the annual Boao Asian Enterprise Summit, Xu Teng, as the richest man in Asia, basically does not accept media interviews, let alone the recording of interviews of this specification.

In order to interview Xu Teng, CCTV Sports Channel and Film and Television Channel begged grandpa to tell grandma, and all kinds of connections were traveled, but in the end they were unsuccessful.

Even during the release of "Legend of the Night 2" in China last year, CCTV Film and Television Channel only got a VCR shot, which was recorded with the help of Shenzhou Media Group.

The financial channel is blessed with the opportunity to interview Xu Teng.

In addition to the ratings, there is also the problem of the impact of the program, the senior management of the Huateng Department of the collective interview talk show, the various network media and TV media under the Huateng Company will contribute to the fire, and there will definitely be a wide range of publicity effects on the program.

To tell the truth, the show "Dialogue" has been tepid in recent years, empty and stylish, and has no topic.

So there is no need for Xu Teng to waste energy to operate, the program team and the host themselves are fighting for help him, this is the so-called common interest.

Anyway, Xu Teng still wants to thank the host, and by the way, give the host Chen Hong an exact news - Huateng's acquisition of Marvel has been decided, and it is expected to pass the review of the US Foreign Investment Review Board and the Antitrust Bureau in mid-December, and the final transaction price is $3.3 billion, and the actual transaction method is $1.7 billion in cash and 10.5% equity of Shenzhou Media Holdings.

Marvel's controlling party, the Goodman family and senior management, are not stupid, the value-added rate of Shenzhou Media Group has always been leading in the industry, and it has such a large market space, after contacting Xu Teng personally and believing that Huateng Company is willing to exchange shares, he immediately adjusted the transaction price.

As part of the terms of the deal, Huateng will retain Marvel's current senior management, which will also hold a portion of Marvel's equity and options, and the Goodman family will hold a 10.5% stake in Marvel's parent company, China Media Holding Group, Inc., in the form of a financial investment.

The matter of Huateng's acquisition of Marvel has been rumored in October, and the outside world does not know whether it can be realized.

Xu Teng now tells Chen Hong the exact news, so that Chen Hong can prepare in advance and make a special program, and if necessary, Marvel President Kevin Figo can go to China to participate in the recording of the program.

Repay the favor.

Xu Teng is still moral.

A few days later, the person who suppressed the propaganda of Huateng personally arrived at the Oriental International Plaza in Huzhou and went to the headquarters of Huateng Company in Huzhou, saying that he wanted to discuss business.

Everyone has arrived in Huzhou, how can Xu Teng not see it?

Mr. Lu, the Zhao family!

This face still has to be given, and it is difficult for Xu Teng to greet him downstairs in person, take the sightseeing elevator, and directly arrive at Xu Teng's Spring Garden office.

"Well, your office is indeed very stylish, and many people who have been to your office have envied and admired me. The style is elegant, quiet in the middle of noisy, natural and fresh. Mr. Lu has long known that Xu Teng's Spring Garden office is very beautiful, and he can only feel the stunning and refined when he sees it with his own eyes.

In this office, all the furniture is modern Ming style, simplicity contains a touch of simple tradition, and between the bamboo sea, the yellow of rosewood furniture, the green of the four seasons bamboo, the gray and white of the rockery and the floor, the color is cleverly matched, and the layout is carefully coordinated.

This kind of spring garden wild bamboo layout, Xu Teng played for four or five years, and asked several designers to adjust it repeatedly, so as to integrate the modern minimalist style, imitation Ming ancient style, and natural style together, which is unique, handsome and surprising, and achieves a sense of interlocking between large and small, small and large.

Finally, the floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides are cleverly combined with frosted glass, green glass, yellow glass, and craft drawing glass, which overlooks the surrounding area from above.

The clever combination of various visual factors can make people have a sense of stunning shock.

In fact, it's nothing more than being willing to spend money.

For such a Spring Garden office, Jiangzhou spent more than 4 million, and Huzhou spent 14 million, a full 10 million.

"The seniors have won the prize, please take a seat. Xu Teng smiled, knowing that the other party was not good, but he still met each other calmly, got along indifferently, and did not easily show hostility, even if there was a sharp spirit in his heart, sooner or later he would let this Zhao family get rough.

Huzhou is not a city that can give Xu Teng a sense of belonging, let alone the sense of accomplishment of supporting a city or even a province's economy alone.

However, in business.

In order to do business, Xu Teng still has to live in Huzhou for a long time, and in the more than a year he has lived in Huzhou, he has gradually settled everything around him, and tried his best to make his work happy, comfortable and happy, so that he can work well.

The two new waitresses in the company recently are not ordinarily beautiful, with a graceful and tall figure, beautiful breasts, and beautiful faces, which are pleasing to the eye.

There is absolutely nothing to say about the service attitude, they are all Japanese girls, top students of the Home Economics Department of the Japanese Women's University, originally, the breasts are not so big, the company paid to send them to the United States for breast augmentation, and by the way, the whole face.

Working on Xu Teng's side, he wears a kimono from Monday to Friday, and wears a maid costume when he works overtime on Saturdays and Sundays, which is regarded as the overtime benefit of Xu Teng, the chairman of Huateng, with an authentic Kyoto-style Japanese dialect, and a soft glutinous sweetness in the soft and glutinous sweetness.

Mr. Lu almost didn't hold the teacup steady, but he didn't expect Xu Teng's private life to be so chaotic.

The biggest advantage of these two girls is that they can't understand Chinese, and Xu Teng usually communicates with them in English, so serving tea and wine in the office is simply better.

You can also escort it.

Of course, Mr. Lu was exempted.

Except for Jian Chen, Xu Teng will not share this kind of benefit with others, mainly because Jian Chen is too boring, every time he comes over, he drinks wine and drinks tea to watch the scenery, he doesn't say anything, and all kinds of thoughts are hidden in his heart.

Xu Teng has two Japanese girls, one for each person, drinking flowers and wine.

Mr. Lu is not calm, why are the two waitresses sitting next to Xu Teng, one left and one right, disrespecting the old man at all, and disrespecting the guests at all.

"It's okay, they can't understand Chinese, that's why I went to Japan to recruit office waitresses, how good, what we talked about, they didn't know." Xu Teng smiled and raised his hand to invite Mr. Lu to tea.

This is called a professional tea ceremony.

He received professional training in the university and was proficient in more than a dozen tea arts, and he was trained in Huzhou for another month.

"Huh. Mr. Lu smiled very elderly, and the words he had thought of before arriving in Huzhou were all forgotten at once, and he didn't know where to start, and he sighed after thinking for a long time, "Xiao Xu, in fact, I originally wanted to talk to your father, but I didn't expect your father to have been in Australia recently, and I haven't seen anyone for more than half a month, so I just came to talk to you." ”

"Oh, the two casinos he invested in Australia have been doing good business lately, and they are ready to upgrade one of them to the five-star crown standard, which will definitely be busy at this stage. Xu Teng deliberately didn't ask the other party what he wanted to talk about, and followed Mr. Xu's topic and talked to himself.

"I heard that he is also interested in investing in the iron ore business in Australia and is negotiating with CITIC Futai, right?" Mr. Lu was really diverted from the topic, and he may not be in a hurry to negotiate with Xu Teng.

"That business...... It is said that half of the two sides will be paid, and our consortium will provide half of the financing loan to help the other party reduce the financial pressure. Xu Teng still smiled warmly and modestly, without the slightest murderous aura, as if he didn't know at all that Mr. Lu and Jiang Xiaoping were also involved in the transaction.

"The price you raised is not low, in fact, I originally wanted to help you, Mr. Rong of Futai and I have a good relationship, if I speak, you definitely don't have to pay such a high price." Mr. Lu put down the teacup and looked directly at Xu Teng.

What the specific situation is, each other understands in their hearts.

This business was originally very pleasant, but Mr. Lu and Jiang Xiaoping suddenly intervened, so that Mr. Rong canceled the cooperation with the Huayin Consortium, probably wanting to use this business as a bargaining chip.

The Xu family was bound to win, temporarily raised the price, was willing to provide a financing loan of $1.5 billion, and Rong's Futai Group had a preemptive right to repurchase the shares of the project held by the Huayin consortium for three years.

In business, making money always comes first.

Mr. Rong did not cooperate with Mr. Lu and Jiang Xiaoping, and directly agreed to the price of the Xu family, and during this time he was doing the final inspection with Mr. Xu in Australia, if nothing else, the contract would be officially signed in the next few days.

It's just that everyone doesn't understand that the Huayin consortium did not plan to hold the project for a long time from the beginning, and half of it will be sold to Futai Group in exchange for the shares of Hengchang Bank held by Futai.

If all goes well, the Huayin Consortium will take shares of Hengchang Bank and trade with the HSBC consortium to acquire a stake in PN Financial Group.

So, it's worth the extra financing costs.

"Small business, don't bother seniors. Xu Teng tasted the tea, his left leg was on his right leg, and he looked very relaxed.

"Xiao Xu, you don't have to be so outside. Mr. Lu pointed to himself and Xu Teng, "Your father and I, the relationship has been quite good in the past few years, when you wanted to win the shares of PN Insurance Company, I didn't have a second word, and our cooperation in Caofeidian was also very smooth." After your Huatai Insurance Company was established, it snatched SAIC's car insurance bundle sales contract from Fubon Insurance, have I ever gossiped a word? Because we are already a world friend, I call your father brother, and you call me uncle. It's generally reasonable, it's not an insult to you. ”

"The seniors are serious, since the seniors don't dislike it, of course I want to call you Uncle Lu. Xu Teng really admires himself for being able to keep a smile and negotiate with the time-honored Zhao family.

The transaction between PN Insurance and Caofeidian's 12 square kilometers of land was originally not indebted, and Guo Yongzhe and HSBC also supported the Huayin consortium to take shares at the first time, refusing to cooperate with Mr. Lu's Fubon system.

As for Huatai Insurance Company, it is true that it snatched the car insurance bundle sales contracts of SAIC's 4S stores from the hands of Fubon Insurance, but this matter is the decision of the Huzhou Municipal Party Committee, and even a person like Mr. Lu has no ability to influence the decision-making at this level.

The real major shareholder of Huatai Insurance Company is also the Shanghai State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, which is jointly held by a number of local state-owned enterprises and SAIC Motor with more than 51% of the controlling stake, plus FAW, the state-owned shareholding is more than 60%, and the remaining 40% belongs to the Huateng family, and they are all Huateng subordinate groups registered in Shanghai.

With such an insurance company, can the Huzhou Municipal Party Committee not escort it?

What kind of thing can Fubon Insurance be on the Huzhou side, is it really blind to be the leader of Huzhou City? Other people may be afraid of those shareholders behind Fubon Insurance, such as this President Lu, who has reached the level of the leader of Huzhou City, and there is a great probability that he will go to the level of a higher level, and basically he does not need to take it seriously.

What about the children of the top ten or something, do they have the right?

The Zhao family?

This is a false proposition in China, who is the real leader and who has the real power, who is qualified to make decisions.

If there is no real power, then what is there to talk about?

Xu Teng put the teacup in it, and the waitress next to him skillfully cooperated in advance, holding the teacup with a plate, and knew that he wanted to change a glass of wine just by looking at Xu Teng's eyes.

Xu Teng's habit is actually to drink tea when he is alone, talk to his own people, drink some cognac, talk to outsiders, and drink some whiskey.

Cognac is only drunk with Hennessy VSOP, and whisky is only drunk with Chivas Regal 12 Year Old.

If it's in the morning and noon, you need to add ice, and when it's time to get off work, you don't need to add anything.

Every girl around Xu Teng knows these rules, and she doesn't need his orders.

Two Japanese girls from Kyoto, with good service, every move is the best spiritual enjoyment of men, and soon Xu Teng changed a glass of Chivas Regal, and the three ice cubes added were frozen with uliveto mineral water, with rich bubbles and minerals, as well as a hint of peculiar taste.

"Do you need to change the glass?" Xu Teng looked at Mr. Lu, with an easy-going smile, and he really had the intention of pouring wine for the other party in person, without any signs of anger.

"No need, your pot of dragon well is very good. Mr. Lu is also very elderly, and his expression has become more rigorous, "Actually, I came to you this time mainly to talk about Zhaoxing." Jiang Xiaoping is my brother-in-law, and your Xu family has a very good relationship with me, so ah, you make me very embarrassed by this matter. In business, we still have to value harmony, and since I'm here, I just want to handle this matter well. Jiang Xiaoping may have done something wrong, I apologize for him here, the shares of China Merchants Bank, how much do you estimate how much you can sell, give me a quasi, I will pay to buy it, just treat it as your Xu family to give me some thin noodles, big things into small things, small things into nothing, don't make trouble for these little things on both sides of the unpleasant. ”

"Uncle Ru is serious, but as you said, these shares are just a small matter, and you really don't need to bother to come forward. "Xu Teng refused, he didn't give any face," the Xu family helped him, he also calculated the Xu family, threatened the Xu family, and in the business field, who didn't know that we had suffered a big loss from him. Huayin Consortium has grown from scratch, from small to large, and has never suffered such a big loss in these years, and has been so embarrassed by being calculated. So, the money is a small thing, but this thing is not a small thing. ”

"Then you don't have to get along with money. "Since Mr. Lu is here, he must want to solve this matter, because Jiang Xiaoping has already agreed to allow Fubon Insurance to enter the board of directors of China Merchants Bank.

"Who said I wouldn't be able to get along with money?" Xu Teng was surprised, "My prediction is that domestic A-shares are ushering in a big market, and the rise of financial stocks must be good, and it is possible for China Merchants Bank to double its market value in the next two years." When I waited for the price to double, I forced him to buy back this part of the equity at a premium of 20% to teach him a lesson. If he slaps me, I'm going to slap him too. ”

"Xiao Xu, Jiang Xiaoping is my brother-in-law after all, there is something to offend you, I hope you, a junior, can take care of it more. Mr. Lu's face turned pale.

Xu Teng just smiled and didn't answer.

To tell the truth, he admires Mr. Lu and Jiang Xiaoping, they have done so many things, and they have been counterattacked by the Xu family one by one, and they are embarrassed to come to the door to negotiate, and their confidence is still so tough, there is quite a kind of "The first things are just for your Xu family to see, warn, the latter matter is the one that can really kill your Xu family".

Xu Teng also believes that Mr. Lu still has the face to continue to negotiate, which means that there are indeed more powerful weapons in his hands that he has not taken out, and it is really possible to make the Xu family suffer heavy losses.

It's just that if you fight to that point, the two sides really can't be good, and if you make another move, you have to stab them all to death.

Xu Teng has a plan in his hand and can fight back at any time, and Mr. Xu also has a plan, basically he can ask an old man to come forward and ask Mr. Lu not to meddle in his affairs.

"Xiao Xu, in fact, this money is really nothing to the Xu family, and it is not even anything to you, you give a happy price, the three projects of Panjiang Hydropower in Xigui Province, I will come forward for you, and it is almost time to make a final decision. Mr. Lu finally took out a serious bargaining chip, the three hydropower stations in the lower reaches of the Panjiang River waters, which have been pending for more than half a year, and the situation is indeed gradually favoring the Dongrun Fujiang Consortium and Xigui Province, but it has not yet been completely overwhelmed.

The combined capacity of these three hydropower stations is equivalent to two Gezhouba, close to 5 million kilowatts, and they are also the three largest hydropower projects ever built in the province of Thi Gui.

If it can be successfully won, coupled with the 14 hydropower stations in the middle and upper reaches of the Jinsha River, the "Dongrun Fujiang" consortium will basically be among the top five hydropower companies in China, with hundreds of billions of funds invested in ten years in installments, and all grid-connected power generation by 2017, that is, 17 money printing machines will be uncompromising.

"In March next year, before the end of an annual meeting of the consortium, I will formally allow the negotiations, on the condition that the transaction will be closed at a premium of 15% according to the stock price at that time. Xu Teng agreed to do a business, but not now, but in 5 months.

Five months is enough time for Mr. Lu and Jiang Xiaoping to settle the ownership of the hydropower development project in the lower reaches of the Panjiang River.

"Good. Mr. Lu immediately agreed, and then asked Xu Teng, "How many tradable shares of China Merchants Bank do you hold?"

β€œ14%。 Xu Teng stretched out his hand, looking indifferent.

"So much?" Mr. Lu was taken aback, he and Jiang Xiaoping had always thought it was about 10%.

"Well, my original plan was to smash the stock price of China Merchants Bank to the point of collapse half a year before he retired. Xu Teng was very contemptuous at this moment, Jiang Xiaoping was really nothing in front of him.

"So, you young people just like to be vindictive, isn't it very good now, everyone does business, and they all make money. Mr. Lu was palpitating in his heart, and he finally understood that the Xu family not only had to smash the plate, but also had other tricks, so that Jiang Xiaoping would be ruined.

How much money it will cost and how much money it will lose, the Xu family obviously doesn't care.

"There is a wrong, there is a debtor, the price of Futai's business, we opened a bit high, I hope the Commerce Bureau will take over. Overseas iron ore prices are rising every year, and Australia's iron ore is rising the fastest, but for our Huayin consortium, the cost of this project is indeed raised a bit high by you, and it is not cost-effective, after all, we have suitable iron ore and oil projects in Brazil and Angola, and there is pressure on funds. ”

Xu Teng temporarily added a price code, and it was not excessive, "These two transactions will be negotiated together in March next year, and they will be concluded before May. ”。

"Okay, then we'll make a decision. Mr. Lu felt that he had gained a lot from coming over this time, and Xu Teng's public relations counterattack this time put a lot of pressure on Mr. Lu and Jiang Xiaoping's group.

If you really want to follow Jiang Xiaoping's meaning, you will follow up and chase after the tax evasion of the Bo'an Department and the Xu family in the early years, if you don't do it, both sides will be miserable.

Jiang Xiaoping doesn't care, he is a leader of a state-owned enterprise, not only does he have to retire, but he is really clean.

Mr. Lu's big red star family is not willing to continue to toss, anyway, the Xu family also has a set of relationship networks, without the above favoritism, can not do today's situation, the most obvious is that the Xu family controls Huaxia Bank, Huaxia Securities, founded Huaxia Insurance, and won the insurance license of the whole industry, which is not something that ordinary businessmen can do.

Although the Xu family has a lot of tricks, it is purely sick to hurt each other with this general trend and a consortium of private enterprises that control a large number of media, even including television media!

Therefore, Xu Teng negotiated the price of the transaction clearly, and the three businesses of Panjiang Hydropower, Western Australia Iron Ore and China Merchants Bank were merged together, and formal negotiations began after the end of the annual meeting of the Huayin Consortium in March next year...... Mr. Lu is satisfied with the transaction price.

Xu Teng won Panjiang Hydropower, the Commerce Bureau won the Western Australia Iron Mine, and Mr. Lu won 14% of the shares of China Merchants Bank.

At this moment, Mr. Lu was a little naΓ―ve, and he didn't want to think about the businessmen who had cooperated with Xu Teng over the years, from the Gyeongju Gu family to Liu Yinxia and then to Han Jun, one was worse than the other, only worse, not the worst.

CITIC Fortune's iron ore business in Australia was very problematic, with an estimated purchase price of US$350 million and a construction investment of about US$1 billion, but due to the intervention of the Huayin consortium, the scale of the acquisition and investment was tripled, totaling nearly US$3.5 billion.

How can Mr. Rong of Futai Group have this strength, and most of the funds must be financed by the Huayin Consortium.

The quality of this southern mining area in Western Australia is indeed rich ore, and the recoverable reserves are also more than 4 billion tons, which is one of the largest iron ore bases in China if it is in China.

The trouble is that the location of the mining area is very remote, the port transportation conditions are very poor, and the plan of the Huayin consortium is to build the port and the railway together, and the mining area is seriously drought and water shortage, and it is necessary to build a freshwater plant in the port and lead it all the way.

As long as the price of iron ore rises by another 50%, none of this is a problem.

Otherwise, it's troublesome.

Xu Teng chose to negotiate in March next year, and when it came to trading in the second half of the year, Jiang Xiaoping and Mr. Lu had to take over at a higher price, and both handicaps had to be next.

If he didn't take the offer, he shorted the shares of China Merchants Bank at a high price.

Broadly speaking, the International Trade Bureau wants to eat the iron ore business in Western Australia, while Mr. Lu's Fubon Insurance has to eat the 14% stake in China Merchants Bank held by Xu Teng, and if the transaction is completed around October 2007 according to Xu Teng's plan, it will basically lose the two big red stars.

Who is not a pit!

Xu Teng can also easily take away the three major hydropower station contracts in the lower reaches of the Panjiang River, this business, he is not only responsible for capital contribution, investing tens of billions of funds to make long-term financial investment, but also responsible for financing interest rates, tens of billions of project funds, about fifteen years to pay off, how much profit does it get?

Doing business is like this, you can't be too demanding of yourself, you can't be detached from reality, you have to take it step by step, and first set yourself a more realistic small goal, for example, make 10 billion first.

It's not difficult, Mr. Lu came over today, Xu Teng felt that he could earn at least 10 billion, of course, he slowly earned this 10 billion in more than ten years.

Xu Teng's annual living expenses are only more than 200 million points, all kinds of luxury expenses are counted, wife and children, playing with famous watches and antique car collections, raising so many girls around him, when they are unhappy, give them some brand-name bags, when they are happy, give them cars and houses, and give them jewelry when they are happy...... The 200 million expenses are the result of his thrift and careful budgeting.

This business is done, and he will not lack living expenses for 30 years. (To be continued.) )
