Chapter 462: The Feeling of Doing Bad Things
In the third quarter of 2016, after multiple rounds of bankruptcies in Europe, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, the global economy finally bottomed out, and the financial report data of the Huayin Consortium from March to July 16 hit new highs, so that Xu Teng had a very happy mood every day. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In particular, the continuous bankruptcy of South Korea's "Han Jin", Taiwan's "Evergreen", and Singapore's "Oriental Sea Emperor" simply made Xu Teng laugh from ear to ear, Han Jin's death has a lot to do with him, but he will die without him, the death of Evergreen and the Oriental Sea Emperor, this is really his sin.
The domestic shipping industry is actually quite miserable, but it is still a little better than the situation that the whole of Taiwan did not protect "Evergreen".
With the support and assistance of the Huayin Consortium, the four major domestic shipping enterprises merged into two companies, China HNA and China Merchants, China Hainan Airlines took advantage of the chaos to merge with France's CMA CGM, and China Merchants Group took advantage of the trend to merge with the United Arab Steamship Company and Hamburg Süd Shipping Company, and at the same time became one of the world's five largest shipping companies.
One of the associated effects of Xu Teng's actions was to abruptly cut off the negotiations between CMA CGM and Oriental Sea Emperor, so that Oriental Sea Emperor would eventually go bankrupt and be taken over by the parent company Temasek Holdings, which would eventually be sold to China HNA Group, but at a much lower price.
The bad news is that Japan's Mitsui Yusen will take Evergreen's assets and ports at a low price, Taiwanese, everyone understands, would rather Evergreen go bankrupt than sell to China Merchants, kneeling and begging Mitsui Yusen to take over, Wanwan media actually said that it was a blessing in disguise, and it was favored and invested by a Japanese consortium.
Xu Teng can only say that Wanwan's shamelessness is the first in the world.
Even so, Xu Teng's mood is still very beautiful and high, and he has been happily redecorating his office during this time.
The new era requires a new style, and he has acquired a lot of interesting meteorites around the world to place in his office, a 17-ton nickel-grained iron meteorite, and a nearly half-ton olivine Fukang meteorite, all from a province in the Northwest Frontier, which is also the most interesting collection in his office.
The world's largest peridot meteorite is from Kansas and is currently housed in Xu Teng's office on the 75th floor of the Chrysler Building in New York.
In addition to meteorites, his office also has dozens of Burmese jadeite imperial green roughs of various sizes, as well as two giant diamonds that have just been shipped from Africa, one weighing 1,111 carats mined in Botswana and the other weighing 706 carats found in Sierra Leone.
In the center of his office, he has a collection of about 7.5 tons of rough pyrite with 43 perfectly cubic pyrite crystals growing naturally from Spain.
Scarcity is expensive!
For Xu Teng, the chairman of the extremely stylish consortium, the office represents a man's second home, and he is in such a good mood this year, of course, he must decorate his man's home with his heart.
His office is now in this interesting style and picture, space and nature, stone and bamboo.
Every morning when he enters the office, he always takes a cup of coffee and walks around the 430-square-meter office to take a look at his collection.
Life is like this, you always have to keep finding a hobby for yourself.
In the past two days, Xu Teng's mood has been better again.
The BRICS summit in Goa, India, is about to be held, and the meeting has not yet begun, but Xu Teng has received clear information that the Chinese government has persuaded the Indian government to abide by its commercial commitments and continue to promote the Sino-Indian industrial cooperation plan of Huateng Industrial Park with the initiative of "One Belt and One Road to the Monsoon Plan".
This is good news.
However, India cannot stop itself from committing its own death, and India thinks that its demonetization plan is "unaware of the gods and ghosts," but unexpectedly, a pair of the most evil eyes are staring at them in the international financial market.
In a month at most, just a day or two before the vote in the US presidential election, India will take advantage of this opportunity to suddenly introduce new 2,000 and 500 rupees.
Ah.
I'm sorry, Xu Teng even printed counterfeit banknotes here.
At Xu Teng's level, if he wants to do bad things, the gods can't hold it, he doesn't have to ask about everything personally, there will be senior partners in other professions who are responsible for arranging which criminal groups are responsible for printing money, which organizations are responsible for money laundering, all of them are arranged properly.
Now it's all set to wait for India to scrap its bankneties.
To put it mildly, these organizations even have thousands of ghosts in the Indian banking system, and they are ready in advance to sink the Indian monetary system in one fell swoop.
It's simply too beautiful to be wonderful.
When Xu Teng arrived at the office in the morning, he immediately asked Dr. Lu to play a song "Turn-It-UP" that he had recently felt very well, swayed to the rhythm, drank this cup of hot Guatemalan tropical coffee with a straw, and said loudly, born winner, I will show you how to become the protagonist.
Sin, madness, greed, twist.
It's all intertwined, how wonderful, how wonderful, like before a tropical typhoon roars, the rich aroma of chestnut flowers mixed with cheap Saigon perfume, showing off the fire of lust in a chaotic and dark bar.
Say it out loud, the feeling of doing bad things is really beautiful, it makes people have indescribable passion, indescribable excitement and satisfaction, as if there are a hundred beautiful women from all over the world and all skin colors swaying with your body.
Bite.
Gu Wanying and Miss Holmes, who had just flown here from New York, were a little surprised when they entered Xu Teng's office and watched Xu Teng enjoying music and dance unscrupulously.
Han Dai, who accompanied them into the office, just smiled as usual, Xu Teng has indeed changed a lot in the past six months, but all this is understandable, Han Dai, the chief assistant officer and senior executive vice president, has long been used to it.
In Han Dai's eyes, Xu Teng has been a very wild wolf king from the beginning of his business, this year, the industry 4.0 of the Huayin Consortium and the IAS system of the Huateng Industrial Consortium have gradually taken shape, Xu Teng is completely invincible, mysterious and a little weird, a little proud, and it is normal.
Xu Teng's mood was of course very happy, and when he saw Miss Elizabeth Holmes, he immediately invited her to dance a tango without saying a word, snapped his fingers, and asked Han Dai to send a bottle of Martell Chantell.
"Oh, chairman, are you sure you want to drink early in the morning?" Elizabeth Holmes thought Xu Teng was addicted to alcohol, and he was going to drink at 9 o'clock in the morning.
"Of course I'm sure, there's good news every time you come over, isn't it?" Xu Teng directly opened the bottle of Martell, poured five glasses, and asked Liu Huiling, the senior CEO next door, to come over and share his good mood.
Although he won't tell these lovely ladies about India's demonetisation, he can still celebrate and share a little excitement by drinking Martell early in the morning.
No lady could refuse Xu Teng's invitation.
Gu Wanying was very nervous and excited, and it was the first time to participate in this kind of wine tasting.
Among these female employees, she was the lowest, and for the time being, she was only treated as a middle-level partner of Huateng Company, and as the assistant to the chairman of Huateng Company's New York headquarters, she accompanied Miss Elizabeth Holmes to Jiangzhou, which was actually only her second visit to Jiangzhou.
The last time Miss Elizabeth Holmes came to Jiangzhou, came to this office in May last year, she did not expect that in more than a year, Xu Teng's office has changed so much, and rearranged a lot of four seasons bamboo, different from the early style, and now there are many strange stones, such as meteorites and iron ore, each piece is slightly processed on the basis of the original stone, fully revealing the original artistic characteristics.
"Let me introduce you to the collection that I acquired from the AST mining group in Spain a few months ago, 7.5 tons of pyrite, 43 pure pyrite cubic crystals, this is the most beautiful masterpiece of nature, beautiful golden ore and silver cubic crystals, a beautiful lie, like gold and silver, but only the cheapest pyrite, just like the NASDAQ. Xu Teng pointed to the collection in the center of the office with a wine glass, and enthusiastically introduced it to Miss Elizabeth Holmes, very happy, as if he was introducing her to the latest eight-claw chair.
"Wow, it's really beautiful, it's just a miracle...... Those are meteorites, the olivine meteorite that I bought at the New York auction house at the beginning of the year, and you must have found the smartest artist to carve it so beautifully. Elizabeth Holmes remembers very well that she participated in the auction on behalf of Xu Teng and spent $2.3 million to buy back the Fukang meteorite from northwest China that was smuggled out, which originally weighed 452 kilograms, and after simple carving and processing, it is estimated that it will be less than a dozen kilograms, and most of it still maintains the original original meteorite appearance, only revealing a yellow-green peridot in the middle.
"I have a little idea of my own, I need it to maintain the natural appearance of the meteorite, and at the same time remind people that its interior is more beautiful and shining!" Xu Teng sipped the wine, admiring his collection.
Miss Elizabeth Holmes will always be a very special beauty.
Although his wife was on the 50th floor of the office, Xu Teng was still very happy to accompany the beauty on a tour, especially the two 1111-carat and 706-carat diamond collections, which made Miss Elizabeth Holmes and Gu Wanying very excited.
"Okay, let's talk about business. Xu Teng drank up this cup of Martell, motioned to Han Dai and Liu Huiling to get busy, and by the way, took Gu Wanying, a little girl, away, he and Miss Elizabeth Holmes wanted to talk about something very special, although Gu Wanying was her own person, and she generally knew it, but it was better to know a little.
Soon.
Xu Teng and Miss Holmes were left in the office, and the two of them re-brewed a pot of tea in the sofa café by the floor-to-ceiling window, and slowly talked about serious things.
As Xu Teng's "expected", Mr. Dramp easily won the Republican candidate's seat against the Democratic Hillny, judging from the current polls, the probability of Dramp's victory is not small, of course, the media will always recalculate the poll data, and the final results are in favor of Hillny.
At this time, Miss Elizabeth Holmes was already the chairman and chief CEO of the Wall Street News Group, overseeing the Wall Street Information Firm, which had rapidly expanded in size over the past two years to become Bloomberg's biggest competitor.
The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times are biased towards the Democrats, the Wall Street Journal and the Washington-Don Post remain neutral, and the Boston Tribune are Republican.
For the Republican Party and De Rum, this is already the greatest goodwill and support, and several major consortia are trying their best to control the balance behind the scenes to avoid the collective bombardment of De Lamp by the American media.
Dramp's campaign is actually not inferior to Hillny, especially in the use of social media such as Twitter, which is about the same level.
"Mr. Drape, knowing that I am recently going to China, has asked me to convey my gratitude to you, and Mrs. Hillny has asked me to convey her thanks and hope that you will remain neutral at present. Miss Holmes rubbed the hot and exquisite teacup with her fingertips, looking at Xu Teng, love looming, but she knew very well that this man belonged only to this office, to this rich family and consortium.
"We will of course continue to be neutral, and you can reassure Mrs. Hillny. "Xu Teng has fulfilled his promise to both sides, to the Democratic Party and the Republican Party during this time, not to intervene in the US election, not to choose sides, to be precise, he has given the same support to the two parties.
Both sides are running on their own merits.
Whoever wins, he is the final winner, at least not the loser.
In fact, Xu Teng did not choose neutrality, because DeLamp's main supporters are far fewer than Hillny's, and his political donations for the two parties through AIG and Morgan Stanley are similar.
This means that the Huayin AIG consortium is a pillar supporter of Derum, representing the financial industry, oil industry, automobile industry, and medical industry in the United States.
"I'm not asking you to come here for the U.S. presidential election. This is important, but one thing, and probably important, is that I just recently received the news that India could be cracking down on the black market and tax evasion and corruption in India by abolishing some of the currencies that are more in circulation. However, there are internal ghosts within the RBI who have leaked the news, and the design and anti-counterfeiting technology of the new currency may also be obtained by some hostile forces, we do not know where the other side printed and how much was counterfeited, but it is roughly judged to be enough to cause chaos in the Indian currency market. Xu Teng will give a general description of the situation, and what to do, Miss Holmes and the AIG Group will soon figure it out.
"We're going to hit the Indian rupee with this?" Miss Holmes guessed halfway.
"This is military-grade intelligence, which is probably only known to four or five people at the moment, and of course it has to be used perfectly. Xu Teng has been waiting for this for half a year in advance, and has quietly done a lot of preparatory work in the Indian market, "Your role is to guide the Wall Street media and institutions to rate at the most opportune time, spread the news more widely, and make everyone aware of the seriousness of the problem." We shorted the rupee, forcing the rupee to plummet, and eventually forcing the Indian government to abandon demonetisation. ”
"I know what to do. "Miss Elizabeth Holmes understood, Xu Teng's source was the government, which was a guiding chess at the government level, and she thought it was a dark battle between the great powers, but she was wrong because Xu Teng misled her.
Rulers are like that.
Even with the most trusted subordinates, it is often impossible to let her know all the information, as long as she can complete the task.
Xu Teng gave Miss Holmes two messages, first, the Indian rupee will plummet, and second, after India announced that it would abandon demonetization, the exchange rate of the rupee should be quickly restored.
This means that the Huayin AIG consortium will first short, and then at a suitable time, when all institutions are short, the Huayin AIG consortium will turn bullish and use this game of chess to continue to kill the opponent.
For a certain government, this will effectively hit India's financial credibility, make India unable to curb black market trading and corruption, and make the financial order of the Indian market more chaotic, and even deal a heavy blow to the credibility and support of the Indian government.
For the Huayin AIG consortium, this will be a further blow to Wall Street and other rivals of the European financial consortium, which can continue to use India's black market transactions to dump goods into the Indian market and crack down on local competitors.
At the same time, Xu Teng will also defeat the Indian government's ability to fight, forcing the Indian government to introduce Huateng Industrial Park with more preferential treatment.
He also offered a loan when India's foreign exchange reserves were struggling to support it, on the condition that he take a stake in India's largest private bank, the Industrial Credit Bank of India, which is also the country's second-largest banking company in India's state-owned financial order.
India.
What an amazing socialist democracy.
It's really hard to imagine that India has a higher proportion of state-owned enterprises than China, and last year, in fiscal year 2015, India's 157 most important state-owned enterprises accumulated losses of $16.5 billion, and 64 of them have completely lost their net assets, which means that they are worthless negative equity companies.
In 1990, before India's economy opened up to the outside world, state-owned enterprises (SOEs) were in a solid position and were monopolistic in their respective fields, especially in key business sectors such as finance, telecommunications, aviation and railways.
As India opened up to the outside world, these state-owned enterprises quickly lost out in the competition between private and foreign companies, and India's state-owned enterprises have been plagued by high costs and high debt for decades.
In the case of Air India, the company's current debt is more than 500 billion rupees, about $15 billion, and the debt is completely larger than that of a state-owned enterprise with net worth.
Therefore, when the world sang the praises of India, Xu Teng could only say that all of them were a group of neurotics, and the reform of China's state-owned enterprises was so difficult, and he did not know how India would solve the problem of India's state-owned enterprises in the future, which was the biggest bomb in the Indian economy.
The most interesting thing is that although India's state-owned enterprises are performing very badly, the entire Indian elite, the media, and the people do not support privatization, and they always compare them with Chinese state-owned enterprises, and swear that Indian state-owned enterprises will also develop very well, very well.
This is not only a bomb in the Indian economy, but, sooner or later, it will brew into a nuclear bomb.
It would be an unprecedented feast, and under current Indian policy, it would be difficult for Xu Teng to get a piece of the pie unless he could use India's black market economy as a springboard.
The Huayin AIG consortium occupies a very special place in India's black market economy, and as far as Xu Teng knows, the actual scale of this uncountable black market economy is roughly equivalent to about 20% of India's total national GDP.
So, he wants to protect the national identity of India.
If someone says that Xu Teng is the enemy of India because of populism, in the face of this kind of person, Xu Teng can only say, you don't know the capitalists at all.
About India.
Xu Teng does not need to say too much to Miss Elizabeth Holmes next to her, before she leaves the United States, she will get more detailed information and bring it back to the United States to the chairman of the AIG Group, Verrens Wotander.
Before the attack actually began, Xu Teng would also send other senior partners to New York to discuss specific strategies with the chairman of Waltander.
As for Xu Teng, he doesn't need to ask about these little things personally, he only needs to tell these partners what his goal is.
On this bright morning, Xu Teng had no other itinerary but to accompany Miss Elizabeth Holmes.
The two often talk about each other's thoughts through a burn-and-burn email, and there are other safe platforms for communication, but when they meet each other, Xu Teng doesn't really have anything special to say.
He just enjoyed the moment quietly.
In fact, Xu Teng has not needed to ask too much about things during this time, he does not like the feeling of holding power in his hands, he has enough equity, and he does not need to prove that he is worthy of these powers with his ability and performance like other co-partners.
Warm October sun.
A cup of tea.
A beautiful woman with a soft scent of roses.
That's what Xu Teng wants.
"I've looked at the consortium statements for the third quarter, and we've set a new record in terms of the scale of appreciation in our net assets. "Miss Elizabeth Holmes has only come to Jiangzhou once, but she doesn't want to drink tea in such silence all the time, so she takes the initiative to find a topic.
"If you want to drink, we can finish that bottle of Martell, I don't have any special arrangements for today, I'll go to the club in the afternoon to play cards. Xu Teng doesn't drink every morning when he first arrives at the company, today is Friday, which is basically his rest day, and he doesn't have to accompany the children.
Today, in addition to having dinner at home at noon and going home before 9 o'clock in the evening, he is completely free, and he can leave after just a circle when he arrives at the company in the morning.
In the Huayin Consortium, he has enough agents, such as Li Daxiao, Wang Yan, Han Dai, Liu Huiling, Tang Hailing, and Tang Jun, who has just been transferred to the position of global executive president of Huateng Company, can represent him in various meetings, and the minutes can be sent to him after the meeting.
Chen Jian, Su Wan, Liu Junsheng, Elizabeth Holmes, Verrens-Wotande, Mei Jiali, He Yongan, Xing Libin, and Zheng Rong can also be regarded as such agents.
Xu Teng's role is really just to supervise all the co-partners and make sure they are qualified.
"I thought that this time, you would arrange a lot of things, ask me a lot of things, and I prepared a lot of work...... But it's clear that you know everything. "Miss Elizabeth Holmes is a little disappointed that in the U.S. her special agent status is being diverted by Ashley Kooner and Ivica Drape, while Verence Wotander remains the top co-partner of the AB AIG consortium in the United States.
She worked hard to make Wall Street Information quickly become Bloomberg's biggest competitor, accounting for a quarter of the international business information market, and is planning to merge Reuters to outright Bloomberg.
She is on track to achieve Xu's goal of getting Wall Street Information listed on the Nasdaq and becoming a new tech giant with a market capitalization of hundreds of billions of dollars.
In the past few days before leaving for China, she had always thought that Xu Teng would praise her first, after all, she had made a good business, a business worth 100 billion dollars.
"My beautiful Elizabeth, you know very well that this is a zero-distance world, and even if I am in Jiangzhou, I can fully control all the information and data of American business. I don't need you to come and explain the situation in person, you're doing a good job, as you know, the size of our net worth is growing at a record rate, and after all the tossing and turning of the world economy so many times, the world economy is finally starting to pick up, oil prices are going from below $30 a barrel to $50 a barrel, and the prices of iron ore and corn are also recovering. ”
"We've won, we've won the whole world, and I just want you to come over and share the joy of victory with me, and as you know, I'm going to stab another sword against a closed market and force them to open up even more. Xu Teng finally found out about Miss Elizabeth Holmes's loss, and he could only explain it all clearly to make her happy, and not to worry about her position in the Huayin Consortium in his heart.
Xu Teng would not say that he was a perfect man, nor was he a pure and loyal man.
He's not that kind of bastard anymore.
He has no real mistress at all, and the only exception may be Miss Elizabeth Holmes, a world-class beauty liar.
He didn't know how to evaluate his relationship with Elizabeth, his agent, his friend, and his *** Although it is not love, this world is not only love can last.
He knew that Elizabeth Holmes thought he loved him, but was it really love? He didn't think so, and he also believed that the most important thing in the heart of a lady like Elizabeth Holmes was probably not love, but power and the so-called American dream.
All right.
Although so many years have passed, Miss Elizabeth Holmes is still the same American green tea woman, but a green tea Biao with more experience, higher level, higher ability, and more connections...... So what, even if she is the No. 1 green tea Biao in the United States, it is also Xu Teng's green tea Biao!
He understood her because she grew up in that elite white American society, just like Xia Li was a woman who grew up in the dean of the University of Chemical Technology.
Different environments make for two different women.
He chose Xia Li because he loves Xia Li, because there is no reason for love, he just wants to spend his life with Xia Li and never be separated, no matter how old she gets, no matter how much she loses her beautiful appearance and figure, he just wants to hold hands with her and fall asleep, and he just wants to see her every day when he opens his eyes.
This is love.
But if he opened his eyes every morning and saw Miss Elizabeth Holmes, he dared to say, it would be a nightmare of his life.
He dared to say that if Elizabeth was his wife and owned half of the property, her first priority would be to find evidence of his cheating and then file for divorce.
This is Miss Elizabeth Holmes.
She will never be a good wife, but as a friend, she is not bad, as a subordinate, she is very good, as a *** you can't believe it.
As a man who insists on exercising every day, a very masculine BOSS, and a very handsome boss, you don't have such female subordinates, you are really a failure!
Xu Teng picked up the half bottle of Martell Tricentennial Chantel, poured half a glass for Miss Elizabeth Holmes, and finally poured the rest for himself, raising a glass to celebrate the good times with her.
When he was younger, he was very fond of Hennessy, but when he stood at the top of the world, he began to prefer Martell, especially Martell Chantello, which was just the right amount of mellow and strong to his satisfaction.
In fact, when Martell launched the Tricentennial Wine, it did not have a plan for the Tricentennial Chantel, but it was only because the owner liked it that it decided to add this new model, and to exchange the taste standard of the Tricentennial Chantello with a higher standard and price point.
There are only 3,000 bottles in the world, half of which are here in Xu Teng.
Martell's Cordon Bleu, Chantello, and Cohiba are all Xu Teng's favorites, and he has a lot of them in his wine cellar, but maybe when he gets older, he may prefer Remy Martin like his father.
Who knows!
"Cheers!" Miss Elizabeth Holmes was still very happy, at least Xu Teng admitted that he was very satisfied with her work and absolutely trusted, and called her over just to have a glass of wine and celebrate.
Xu Teng actually doesn't want to say too much, this is the difference between Chinese and Americans.
He can sit silently with Jian Chen and Xia Li for a morning and enjoy a quiet time, Americans just don't understand the wonderful feeling of squandering time.
"As you said, we've set an unprecedented record for net worth growth in the last three quarters of '16, and I know, and you know, your contribution has been unparalleled. Xu Teng was forced to squeeze out some words, waste his thoughts, and discuss something with Elizabeth.
"What you mean is that the value of your decisions is unmatched, and I contribute a lot. "Miss Elizabeth Holmes is smart, even cunning, and flatters each other with Xu Teng.
"You're right, we're good partners. Xu Teng accepted the compliment of the beauty with a smile, he must admit that Elizabeth is no longer as stunning and beautiful as when she was young, no matter how exquisite the makeup is, it is still difficult to hide the passage of youth, but it is still beautiful.
During the 2014-2015 global resource investment bubble and financial crisis, the Xu family and the Huayin AIG consortium went on an unprecedented dip, and as the global economy began to pick up in the second and third quarters of 2016, these assets increased at a record rate.
In the past year and a half, Xu Teng has not only lived in Jiangzhou and done nothing, he has been expanding the scale of investment, through the entire Huayin AIG consortium, including Vale and ConocoPhillips into the lineup.
He did not take a controlling stake in Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton, but he has been acquiring Anglo American through FMG Resources Group, acquiring Rio Tinto, BHP Billiton, and other global commodity resource companies and funds that continue to sell mineral resources.
At present, there are four major iron ore companies in the world: FMG, Vale, BHP Billiton, and Rio Tinto, and using FMG Resources Group, Xu Teng has almost eaten away at 1/3 of the iron ore assets of Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton, in China, Australia, Brazil, Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, South Africa, India, Sierra Leone...... 43 countries have iron ore mines, and the total reserves and production capacity are the highest in the world.
FMG Resources Group is also the world's second-largest oil and gas company, the third-largest gold-copper, bauxite, nickel and rhenium miner, and the second-largest supplier of rare earth and uranium ores.
As global commodity market prices recover, these huge recoverable reserves are bound to produce a staggering record of net asset appreciation.
Of course, the Huayin AIG consortium also invests extensively in various assets such as commodities and oil and gas, and the investment scale of stocks, corporate bonds, and futures assets is very high, and in the next five years or so, these assets will increase in value for a long time and gradually return to the level of 2013, when it will be the time to cash out.
Because the asset size is too large, an average annual increase of 10% is very good.
"Oh, I can tell you the good news, Unilever's negotiations to merge with L'Oréal are nearing completion, do you like it?" Xu Teng thought of another topic that would make Miss Elizabeth Holmes, who has always been a customer of L'Oréal.
"Of course, I knew that sooner or later you would buy it, the woman and the wine, which is one of your eternal investments. "Miss Elizabeth Holmes wasn't as happy as she was, she wasn't unaffordable, she couldn't afford these high-end cosmetics, and she didn't own a stake in Unilever.
Of course, she was happy for Xu Teng and his wife, and under the name of their couple, the Huayin AIG consortium empire had a new profit growth point.
"Women and wine, this is really a good profit, isn't it?" Xu Teng smiled, he actually bought Avon, and changed Avon's direct sales system, becoming a listed cosmetics company with an online vertical sales model, re-injecting funds into cosmetics and women's health product development, acquiring some small brands and teams with innovative characteristics, and integrating them into Avon.
It's an interesting little business, with an investment of just over a billion dollars.
After several years of development, Avon's market value has now returned to $7 billion, and it will continue to grow, inject more biotechnology elements, and it is normal for the market value to grow to tens of billions of dollars in the future.
Similar businesses include Wyeth, Yangshengtang, and Herborist brands under Huateng Medical.
This kind of multi-brand and multi-company operation method of adopting differentiated competition, jointly carving up a market, and jointly squeezing foreign competitors has long been Xu Teng's specialty.
You think you have a lot of options, but you don't have a choice at all.
Xu Teng is really good at this trick, in the global smartphone market, in the Internet market, in the financial market, every time it is tried and tested, especially in the automobile market.
