In mid-July, Xu Teng, Jiang Ningyuan, Mei Jiali and more than a dozen entrepreneurs from the Huayin Department organized a delegation to Shaanxi Province, as well as several CEOs of "European and American" companies.

This time the investment opportunity came very suddenly, but the scale is very large, and both sides are very sincere, especially Huayin, which is willing to invest 40 billion yuan in the fields of coal, home appliances, automobiles, chemicals, and high-tech industries, of which the PX project alone is as high as 7 billion yuan.

Xu Teng, Jiang Ningyuan, and Mei Jiali had lunch at a table, and several leaders of Shaanxi Province shared a table, and Xi Yongan specially arranged a Yang academician in the field of coal chemical industry in Shaanxi Province, academician of the Academy of Engineering, for the leaders to open their mouths to recommend Huateng New Energy to invest in coal chemical industry in Shaanxi Province, whether it is coal refining, or coal gas, it is promising.

Xi Yongan knows the strength of the old Jiang Xiaoxu very well, and the investment of 40 billion yuan did not satisfy him, as a leader, he also hopes to build a leading coal chemical base in Shaanxi Province.

He didn't know.

Huayin Department last year invited domestic experts in various fields of coal chemical industry, closed-door discussion, or this 60-year-old academician Yang, in this field of struggle for 30 years, engaged in a set of independent intellectual property rights on the nozzle space furnace technology, the academic report is very beautiful, took the Huayin Department of five million technical consulting fees but gave a sentence, private enterprises should never engage in coal chemical industry, rather engage in ultra-supercritical thermal power plants.

The United States has coal, water, technology and capital, but it failed in the 80s, Germany has coal, water, technology and capital, and from the defeat in World War II to the 80s, it is not doing it now, the United States is now concentrating on the development of shale gas, and Germany is concentrating on importing natural gas from Russia.

There is no government subsidy for coal chemical industry, which is a nightmare for enterprises.

Academician Yang didn't blush when he lied in front of Jiang Ningyuan, anyway, he had made it clear before, he believed that Jiang Ningyuan could understand, after all, everyone is an expert in various fields, and it is very common to endorse the leader.

Academician Yang endorsed the book, and Xi Yongan began to try his best to encourage Xu Teng to use Huateng Energy to invest in coal chemical industry, and strive to build the country's largest coal refining project in Shaanxi Province.

"Let's first build an ultra-supercritical thermal power plant base, because the main development direction of Huateng Energy in new energy is photovoltaic, wind power and hydropower, and try to avoid this kind of heavily polluting enterprises. Xu Teng refused very tactfully.

"Never engage in coal chemical industry", academician Yang dared to say to private enterprises, never dare to say to the leaders, that is to smash the job, but also to smash the entire Northwest Chemical Research Institute.

Therefore, women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, men are afraid of entering the wrong industry, Academician Yang only knew that he had entered the wrong industry after 30 years, which is quite tragic, he has been doing something with no future at all his life, and now he can only continue to do it hard.

Coal gas is definitely not good, the domestic natural gas price has been inverted for a long time, and the dead can not die again, Academician Yang himself has given up the technical research work in this area, and coal refining depends on oil prices, and the gap between coal prices and oil prices is large enough to have profit margins, and the problems of high pollution and high water consumption are stubborn diseases.

The price that Shenhua gave to Shaanxi Province this time is to invest 5 billion yuan to build the largest coal chemical base in China.

Xi Yongan invited Academician Yang to come over, just to give Xu Teng a little hint, and he had to come up with similar chips, but he really invited the wrong person, and Academician Yang himself was embarrassed.

"Old Xi. Jiang Ningyuan couldn't look down, "the market economy should be subject to the basic principles of the market economy, we are a private enterprise, there is no tracking and research in the field of coal chemical industry, in view of the high pollution characteristics of the coal chemical industry and the corporate image of the Huateng system is not in line, we really have no intention of going deeper." Ultra-supercritical thermal power technology, silicon photovoltaic solar energy, wind power, hydropower, this is what we have been tracking at present, and we are very willing to open up the situation in Shaanxi Province. Specific investment projects, investment amount, we can discuss again, not to mention that this time we are mainly using capital from other provinces to invest in Shaanxi Province, what this means, you know, I also know. ”

Jiang Ningyuan said that the Huateng system is investing in the northwest, but in fact, the entire Huayin system is turning, according to the investigation of the Huayin system, as long as the investment is in place, the coalfields of Shenfu and Yulin can achieve an annual production capacity of more than 50 million tons within three years.

According to the current coal price, there is no problem with the annual net income of 25 billion, and the investment in PX, home appliances, automobiles, and photovoltaics in Shaanxi Province will not be a loss, relying on the university system in Xi'an, absorbing talents and scientific research and technology, it is not a bad thing.

Before coming here, Lao Jiang used the power of the Asia-Pacific Economic Research Institute, a think tank that is the mouthpiece of the Huayin department, to formulate a sustainable long-term development report of more than 200 pages for Shaanxi Province, and vigorously promoted the establishment of a joint-stock Chang'an Bank in the province in an attempt to become a financing center in the northwest.

Planning, this is the old Jiang Xiaoxu's professional specialty.

Now, as long as Shenhua, a central enterprise, can be kicked out, it will be a win-win situation for Shaanxi Province and Huayin.

Xu Teng took the time to look at the time again, he came over this time to take a turn, and in the afternoon he was going to fly directly to the United Kingdom, meet with the Quartet family, and negotiate on the final issue.

The vast majority of German companies have a family model.

Volkswagen and BMW are no exception.

In other words, European companies are basically like this.

It is not very difficult for you to take a stake in Volkswagen and BMW, and other people's shares are in the Frankfurt stock market, free to buy and sell, and if you want to enter the board of directors, it is basically impossible, unless you directly negotiate with those old families in Germany and pay a price that they are happy with and you can accept.

It's not enough to have money.

You also have to have the opportunity to meet, negotiate privately, and most importantly, you have to exchange chips other than money.

The Xu family has been working hard for so many years, and finally got the ticket of the British Phoenix Capital Group, Xu Ma is in the United Kingdom, and invites members of the Quandt family to the Xu family's Regent's Park Villa to attend the dinner, in addition to Xu Ma, there are also many tycoons in the British financial and technology circles to attend.

Circle.

Whether at home or abroad, circles are important.

There is the Taishan Club in China, there is a real estate circle, and overseas is more complicated, and the first circle that the Xu family can enter is the Regent's Park Owners Association, with only seven owners in total, all of whom are tycoons in the British financial industry.

"What?, Xiao Xu, do you have something to do in the afternoon, don't you go to Chang'an High-tech Park for a field trip?" Xi Yongan found that Xu Teng had looked at his watch for the third time, although it was a valuable Patek Philippe, but with Xu Teng's rank, there was no need to show off his wealth so frequently.

"Leader, I still have something to go to Europe, and the plane is waiting at the airport, so I'm afraid I won't be able to continue to accompany you. Xu Teng waited for him to ask this sentence, got up to say goodbye to the leaders present, he left now, it is estimated that he can arrive half an hour earlier, and he can't let the people of the Kuangte family wait for him at his parents' house.

"The afternoon inspection is still very important, you try to stay for a few more days, I specially arranged the itinerary, and I am ready to accompany you to a trip to the Terracotta Army. Xi Yongan estimated that Xu Teng was really in a hurry, maybe it was the acquisition of the British car company, he wanted to force Xu Teng to speak, as long as Xu Teng opened his mouth, without him talking, other comrades had to find a way to block Xu Teng and prevent him from leaving, unless he agreed to bring the leaders of the province to participate in the negotiations.

Onlookers are fine.

First find out the situation, and then follow up, and seize the opportunity of the fierce contradiction between the Huateng system and Jianghuai Province.

Huateng agreed to invest in the automobile industry in Shaanxi Province, and was willing to invest 3 billion yuan in Shaanxi Automobile Group, Xi Yongan was very happy on the surface, but still dissatisfied in his heart, he invited Xu Teng to come over this time, and the goal was to directly target Xu Teng's automobile company.

This project, even if it is supported by a loan from the province, he wants to win it.

Huateng's commitment is to invest 20 billion yuan in the coal industry, 20 billion yuan in other fields, and 40 billion yuan in three installments.

Including other infrastructure projects in the province, especially airport and highway construction projects, Huateng can also assist in the issuance of bonds in Hong Kong and provide financing services.

This series of cooperation has been negotiated and implemented, and Xi Yongan's 7 task has been basically completed, and the following is to fight for 9.

"In this case, since you are free for the past two days, you might as well go to Europe with me. Xu Teng got up and put on his suit, motioned to Hua Lingling, who was accompanying him, to help him tie his tie and buttons, this is really going to go, and invited Xi Yongan to go with him.

A man wants a face, and a tree wants bark.

At critical moments, we must rely on pretending.

The two waitresses waited for Xu Teng to put on his formal clothes, he only had to put on the cufflinks, and several leaders in the province just looked at it like this, the capitalists have seen a lot, so good, it was really the first time to see it.

Xu Teng pretended to be like this, but also to Xi Yongan's face, without Xi Yongan's phone, Shaanxi Province could not invite him, let alone such a large lineup, more than a dozen well-known entrepreneurs and expert teams at home and abroad came to investigate, and the entire delegation added up to hundreds of people.

Of course, Xu Teng didn't pretend, he usually did this, two female assistants, a general foreman, two waitresses, six security personnel, and several vice presidents of the Huateng department in the accompanying team, everywhere is this lineup, this is still the minimum standard.

The day before he arrived in Shaanxi Province, a Rolls-Royce Silver Angel arrived in Xi'an ahead of schedule, and the province also provided another 20 Audi A6s to welcome other guests.

"That's okay, I'll accompany you to Europe, Xiao Xu, if I guess correctly, you really want to merge the British car company this time!" Xi Yongan got up and motioned for the secretary to come over, he also arranged it, and by the way, he nodded with several other leaders, don't panic, I am personally responsible for tracking this project!

"There is no such urgency, in the evening, we will have a banquet for several old families in Germany, and hold a symposium on Sino-European investment, there is no problem with merging companies, the key is to straighten out the network, which is conducive to other more in-depth investment. "Xu Teng did not invite Xi Yongan to come over in vain, since the China-Europe Investment Symposium brought a provincial leader to attend and speak, it is the icing on the cake.

Xu Teng is not a tycoon like Gu Chujun and Yan Xiaoqun, these people rely on half of capital and half of them, and he is the real richest man in China, even if it is the result of Huayin's operation behind the scenes, as long as he is willing, tens of billions of cash can really be taken out.

These leaders in the province can imagine just by looking at Xu Teng's formation and the accompanying lineup that this is the real richest man in China, with a net worth of more than 10 billion US dollars, and then joining forces with other eastern provinces and foreign consortia to invest 40 billion yuan in the province is simply trivial.

Xi Yongan can have such business connections, which is also a real cow, and he is worthy of being a leader from the eastern provinces.

Everyone sent them all the way to the airport.

8 hours of time difference.

When Xu Teng arrived in London, it was also at noon to attend the Sino-European Investment Symposium held at the Xu's Regent's Park mansion, and the two sides intended to organize a regular Sino-European Investment Forum, in China in the first half and in Europe in the second half.

The duration of the symposium was very short, only two days.

Xu Teng, as the richest man in China, gave a speech, and after the afternoon forum, he and the Kuald family, which is the actual control of BMW, started the first round of formal negotiations.

When it comes to issues such as capital, equity, and cooperation strategy, the two sides have already had two rounds of initial negotiations, and on the whole, both sides are very satisfied, and now to continue more in-depth negotiations, the Quandt family must be clear about several issues -- what kind of person is Xu Teng, what kind of company is Huateng Group, and their investment in Huateng Automobile Company, including Huateng Automobile Company's shareholding in BMW, will it threaten the interests of BMW Company and raise tigers?

This kind of negotiation is very troublesome, and there must be theories, and there must be numbers to support the views of both sides, to prove that this kind of cooperation is beneficial to both parties and can be maintained in the long run.

What can Huayin provide to BMW, what BMW can provide to Huayin, and finally the capital scale of the two sides, at this point, Huayin can tell BMW very frankly, the two sides are not of the same magnitude.

Even compared with the Kuangte family, the capital scale of the Huayin system far exceeds that of its opponents.

I am not a state-owned enterprise, let alone a state-owned enterprise, but I am still richer than you, have deep connections and channels in the Chinese market, and have dozens of times more energy than Brilliance, and can join forces to squeeze the market of Volkswagen, Audi, Japanese, American, Korean, and other state-owned automobile giants, and seize a larger Chinese market share for both sides.

This is the negotiation card of the Huayin system.

The exchange chips of the Huayin system are also very attractive, and the equal shares of the United States (Kangbao) Company, Biying Bwin Company, and Ebay Company of the United States, the Quandt family chooses one of the three.

It's a trap choice.

XU TENG BET THAT THE QUANDT FAMILY WOULD CHOOSE EBAY, BECAUSE GERMAN HAS A VERY STRICT CONTROL OVER THE GAMING INDUSTRY, AND ALTHOUGH THE GROWTH OF BWIN IS GOOD, EVEN IF THE QUANDERT FAMILY HOLDS THE STATUS OF THE MAJORITY SHAREHOLDER OF BWIN, IT IS DIFFICULT TO COMBINE IT WITH THE ADVANTAGES OF THE GERMAN CONSORTIUM.

THE SITUATION IS VERY DIFFERENT, EBAY HAS THE LARGEST MARKET SHARE IN GERMANY AND EUROPE, AND EBAY ALSO HOLDS A 40% STAKE IN THE GLOBAL ELECTRONIC PAYMENT GIANT PAYPAL.

NOW HAPPENS TO BE THE PEAK OF EBAY'S MARKET CAPITALIZATION, WHICH IS ALMOST 1.7 TIMES THAT OF BMW, WHICH IS PURELY INFLATED, ALL THANKS TO THE WAR IN IRAQ AND THE FLOW OF GLOBAL CAPITAL INTO U.S. REAL ESTATE AND STOCK MARKETS.

The Xu family really gambled on the long-term shares of Apple, Google, and ARM, and even the shares of Amazon and Tencent, and did not come up with a reciprocal transaction.

The company's market capitalization is also at its peak, as sales in China have soared by 400%, and the problem is that the channel is in the hands of Boan Holdings, which has reached a wholly-owned acquisition agreement with the family, and at the same time cashed out 2/3 of the company's shares held by Huayin to other investment institutions.

Mr. Xu acquired the company at the beginning, just because the other party was in a business crisis, and was firmly suppressed by Amway and Jian'anxi, and now the stock price has risen, so he is ready to cash out and leave the market and acquire Jian'anxi, which can really challenge Amway, at a high price.

Outcome.

XU TENG GUESSED CORRECTLY, THE QUANDT FAMILY CHOSE THE AMERICAN COMPANY EBAY THAT THEY THOUGHT HAD A HIGHER GROWTH RATE.

God, earth, 48.5 US dollars dare to take over a share, Xu Teng really admires his sales ability.

XU TENG REMAINED CALM STEADILY, AND DID NOT SHOW JOY BECAUSE OF SUSANNE CRATEN'S CHOICE, AFTER ALL, IT WAS IN HIS EXPECTATION, ANYWAY, BEFORE THE YUAN APPRECIATED SIGNIFICANTLY, EBAY WILL DEFINITELY CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN VALUE, ACCORDING TO THE CURRENT TREND, IT IS POSSIBLE TO INCREASE IN VALUE TO $60 A SHARE.

Xu Teng is a little confident in his English level, and has never left it behind, arranging several speaking classes every week, and the English Financial Weekly must read every week, so as not to need him to go out to do a global press conference one day, and lose face with a bad English.

For this business meeting, he also prepared more than a month in advance.

He and the other party were accompanied by an interpreter, but it did not play much use, after all, it was not a very rigorous final contract negotiation, just a normal business meeting, to exchange business intelligence between China and Germany.

In particular, BMW's investment in the automobile industry in Northeast China, the Germans are not stupid, they see that Brilliance Auto does not have the ability to further develop its own brand, but the Germans still miss a very important link - channel.

Brilliance's channels are not generally poor, especially compared with Huayin, the gap is too big.

The closed-door talks between the two lasted another half an hour, and finally reached a preliminary agreement, in which the Xu family transferred 100 million shares of EBAY to the Quandt family in exchange for part of the BMW shares held by the Quandt family at a premium.

After the negotiations, a small champagne reception was held in the guest hall of the Xujia Regency Park Villa, where the families and company executives from both sides gathered and BMW Chairman Dr. Hemut Punk delivered a speech to celebrate the collaboration between the two ends of Eurasia.

The Anglo-Saxons, even if they engage in a massacre, can speak beautifully, very good at talking about scenes, obviously cashing out high-tech, but also must say that it is both great and warm magnificent cooperation, which is probably one of the advantages of the Latin family, and they can always use a new combination of extra-long to create a more beautiful adjective if they wish.

Who wins and who loses, it's hard to say right now.

From the beginning of the intervention to the agreement, the Xu family spent half a year, paid a price of up to 7 billion euros, and held nearly 20% of the shares in BMW, but only one seat and 15% of the voting rights in the board of directors of BMW, far less than the 2/5 voting rights controlled by the Quandt family.

As part of the overall deal, BMW relinquished its repurchase rights to the car company in exchange for a 14.5 percent stake, and the two parties entered into a long-term cooperation agreement based on cross-shareholdings, similar to the Renault-Nissan auto alliance.

For BMW, this kind of cooperation is definitely more cost-effective than cooperation with state-owned enterprises, and can make more profits.

The simple Huateng Automobile Company, which does not even have a basic production capacity, is obviously not worth the gamble of the Quandt family and the board of directors of BMW Company, but the Huayin system is behind the scenes of Huateng Automobile, which is not a concept.

The Xu family deliberately gave the Quandt family a chance to choose one of the three, that is, to sue the other party, the Xu family only held more than 20 billion US dollars in securities assets in Europe and the United States, and the Austrian Bwin company is the largest online gaming company in Europe, with a market value of 8 billion euros, and 3/4 of the equity is concentrated in the Xu family.

The Xu family is rich, more than the Kuangte family, which is the key factor for the two sides to reach a deal, and it can have a subtle impact on every detail of the negotiation.

The whole process of the transaction is very complicated, it is basically a securities swap, and all the institutions involved in the transaction are trying to use the rules to avoid taxes, and the Xu family and the Kuangte family are no exception.

THE QUANDT FAMILY JUDGED EVERYTHING CORRECTLY, BUT THERE WAS ONLY ONE MISTAKE, EBAY'S SUBSEQUENT DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL WAS VERY LOW, AND NOW IT WAS RELYING ON ACQUISITIONS TO MAINTAIN ITS STOCK PRICE, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, EBAY ITSELF WAS NOT A TECHNOLOGY-FOCUSED NETWORK TECHNOLOGY COMPANY, WHICH WAS A FATAL INJURY.

If they choose Bwin, they will definitely make more profits, but this is also within the tolerance of the Xu family, after all, it is not the core asset of the Xu family.

In this small champagne party, Mr. Xu's mother and Suzanne Klatten were about the same age, talking together about other investments, while Xu Teng discussed the follow-up cooperation plan with Dr. Hemtt Punk, chairman of BMW, and Chen Zhixin, executive president of Huateng Automobile Company.

Considering that BMW has always had an unwritten rule that the chairman of the board of directors must retire over the age of 60, Xu Teng and the Quandt family reached an agreement to arrange Dr. Hemt-Punk as the chairman of Huateng Automobile Company and Chen Zhixin as the >

THE FORMAL TRADING CONTRACT WILL BE APPROVED WITHIN THREE WORKING DAYS, AND THE CYCLE OF MUTUAL REVIEW IN CHINESE, GERMANY, AND ENGLISH WILL ALSO TAKE ONE WORKING DAY, AS LONG AS EBAY SHARES DO NOT FALL SHARPLY DURING THESE FOUR DAYS, THERE WILL BE BASICALLY NO PROBLEMS.

Xi Yongan, who came to participate in this feast temporarily, was a little dizzy, so far, he has not figured out what the two richest capital families in China and Germany have done, and it is obvious that both parties are very satisfied.

There will be a time when the dinner party will be dispersed.

The most important thing in London is always the mansion, and the guests on both sides are arranged to stay in the right place, and Xi Yongan is resting in the Xu family's Regent's Park villa, which is not a slack, after all, it is an antique mansion worth 50 million pounds, which began in 1817.

At night, the moon in London is really round and bright.

Xu Teng sat on the windowsill and drank, recalling every detail of his three-hour conversation with Ms. Klatten, and gradually realized that the world was truly wonderful, that European capitalists wanted to invest in the United States, American capitalists wanted to invest in China, and Chinese capitalists wanted to invest in Europe.

It's a strange circle.

European capitalists are realistic, believing that the sole hegemony of the United States will last for a century, while Europe is facing the threat of an aging population, especially in Germany, which is why both business and political circles should welcome refugees.

The influx of immigrants into old Europe, which eventually led to Brexit and the resurgence of right-wing populism, was completely hopeless.

Ms. Claten didn't think that far ahead, she was not a god, she just concluded that a long-term investment in the United States was in the best interests of the Qualdt family, and perhaps she was convinced that the business model represented by Ebay would eventually unify the world.

Xu Teng's judgment is completely different, and he is more confident in his long-term holdings of eBay and Tiantian Mall. (To be continued.) )
