As it turns out, the BBC can make good news when it wants to make face. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xu Teng could initially choose between ITV and Sky Broadcasting, the three major British TV stations, because these two are within the influence of the Huayin Consortium, and they are basically embarrassed in the face of him.

ITV's main advertiser is WPP Group, and WPP Group's largest shareholder is China Media Group, and the other shareholders are mostly Wall Street and British conglomerates.

Sky Broadcasting is one of the subsidiaries of Murdoch News Corporation, which is also the third largest shareholder of China Media Group.

In short, it's a power game between the financiers behind the media.

Xu Teng only turned out the news video of the BBC's interview with Ma Zheng, and he wanted to avenge Mr. Ma, coupled with the assurance of the BBC Supervisory Committee, especially Downing Street and the royal family, and there were other people's lobbying in the middle, that Xu Teng changed his decision and temporarily chose the BBC's "Western Views" program.

As a result, there was an embarrassing incident.

With only two hours left before the scheduled broadcast time of the show, George Entwisel, the vice president of the BBC, and Helen Bourdain, the news director of the BBC, who was the fastest to intervene in the negotiations for the show, intervened one after another, and urgently negotiated with Asdair Campbell, the executive president of the international public relations department of Huateng Company, and finally reached an agreement.

Using reliable data from Huateng's "primary election", the two sides invited Xu Teng to talk about the advantages of China-EU economic cooperation and analyze the reasons for the stagnation of the European economy.

As a compromise, Xu Teng can share some interesting personal stories about things that the audience is interested in, such as how much money he has personally, how many castles he has in the UK, and how much he lives and works.

The BBC's compromise was actually more critical because of the phone calls from Downing Street.

After the intervention of various bigwigs, the 45-minute talk show finally stopped brainstorming, and perfectly met the requirements of Xu Teng and Downing Street, and could effectively counter Labour's attacks on Chinese capital's control of British energy companies.

As for the BBC's news video of the interview with Ma Zheng twelve years ago, it obviously has to be broadcast, and the slap in the face has to be recognized, who made your host so arrogant.

The matter soon came to an end.

Because even if Xu Teng wins a small game on the BBC's side, it will not be able to reverse the discriminatory mentality of most Europeans against China, and this kind of thing, in the end, when the per capita GDP of Chinese exceeds that of the European Union and has ten nuclear-powered aircraft carriers to hire the world, it will naturally become a small wave in history.

……

Xu Teng's visit to Europe was a long one, and after staying in the UK for half a month, he continued to visit Belgium, Sweden, Germany, Italy and the Czech Republic.

It is precisely because of this trip to Europe that domestic netizens began to give Xu Teng a new nickname of "Third Führer", which sounds very much like the meaning of the Third Führer of the German Empire, but the essence is of course another way of saying.

The Third Führer!

In fact, Xu Teng doesn't care how long he visits overseas, his work can basically be solved online, but compared with in China, the confidentiality of network data is more difficult, and some important data can only be brought to Xu Teng by other co-directors and senior partners by special planes to discuss and make decisions in person.

For example, the troubles encountered in the acquisition of Prima Group.

What does Prima say, there are basically a number of people who have really been in contact with the machine tool industry, compared with the above, more than the bottom, compared with the top machine tool groups of the Japanese and German systems, Prima is basically a spokesperson with high salary and low energy in China, the price is about the same, the accuracy and performance are low, compared with domestic CNC machine tools, and there is no price advantage at all.

At present, the only competitive field in China is the field of laser cutting, and later the production and sales departments in China also closed down.

Xu Teng said that Prima is one of the seven giants in the field of high-end machine tools in the world, sorry, that has to be the data of 2002, since 2003, Prima is like a kite that has dropped the line, and it has plummeted.

The controlling side of the Prima Group basically overlaps with the controlling side of Generali, and it is not unthinkable that it has not thought of ways to relocate its main production jobs to the Czech Republic and China.

Now it's finally ruthless, ready to cut down the headquarters in Turin.

How did Xu Teng's acquisition of Warwick quickly turn losses into profits, the same way, cut the headquarters staff in half, and even the statistical work of the group's financial reports was done in the Chinese headquarters.

Do you think, a front desk has a monthly salary of up to 7,000 euros, and only has to work 20 days a month, at most 5 hours a day, as for the various administrative departments of the headquarters, managers, supervisors...... Don't mention it.

Whether it is the board of directors of Prima, or the former controlling party of Warrick, the Yinruida consortium, and the current controlling party, the Huayin consortium, the idea is basically the same, moving the European headquarters of Huateng Precision Group to the Czech Republic, with low wages and taxes, and moving the registered place to the Netherlands, with lower corporate taxes.

Factories must not be moved, and front-line workers are still very important.

Therefore, unimportant factories are directly sold to other companies and sold out.

After the merger, Primoma, Worrick, and Huateng Seiko are added together, 17 product lines, designed to 13,000 parts system, all of which must be integrated within 5 years, shrink the parts system, and try to use Made in China to reduce costs.

The current machine tool sales in Europe are basically not worth mentioning, except for the Czech Republic, Italy and Sweden three machine tool center plants, 80% of the production capacity is concentrated in six factories in China.

During Xu Teng's visit to Italy, the three shareholders met together for five meetings, and it was not until the last week of Xu Teng's departure from Europe that a merger agreement was finally reached.

This merger and acquisition may not be passed, because Prima and Warrick, have a certain scale of military machine tool restrictions, Warrick is a Swedish enterprise, not subject to the EU clamps, as long as the Swedish government approves, Prima's merger and acquisition must first be submitted to the Italian government, and then pass the EU pass, and finally turn back to walk around the city of Turin - this circle will also drag down a layer of skin, the union will make all kinds of trouble, and one will have to capsize if he is not careful.

In fact, even if Prima is not merged, sooner or later it will have to move its production capacity to Eastern Europe and China, and will not remain in Turin, and there will be no fewer small and medium-sized accessories companies that will migrate with it.

Italian workers are easier to deal with than French workers, but the unions are not very strong, except in southern Italy, which is why there is basically no industry in southern Italy, and fools go to southern Italy to invest in factories.

Xu Teng has made a lot of acquisitions in Italy, and he has a good understanding of the situation in Italy, and he personally feels that as long as the United States does not come forward to make trouble, the EU can probably handle it.

At most, it is to negotiate terms with the Turin city government and the trade unions to ensure that the factories will not be laid off - yes, everyone will not lay off the factories in the first place, at least not in the short term, and the layoffs will be white-collar workers.

Therefore, Italian college students are completely unemployed as soon as they graduate, have no job at all, and live on their parents' pensions.

Anyway, this merger has a 70% success rate, in case it doesn't work, Prima Group loses a sum of money, if it succeeds, the Italians can not only cash out 5.2 billion euros, but also get 31% of the equity of Huateng Seiko Group, which is definitely earned.

Xu Teng in the Prima Group machine tool center and several factories after visiting, is also telling the truth, broken factory can sell at this price, is already very good, no wonder several major shareholders of Prima Group are so anxious to get out, the factory equipment has not been updated for at least ten years, workers are all over 40 years old.

The biggest trouble in Europe now is that it is very difficult for young people to recruit workers, young people would rather get relief money than go to work in factories, especially in old Europe, Germany is okay, it can recruit people from Eastern Europe, Italy is really troublesome, can only offer a very high salary, and the treatment is so good that Xu Teng wants to come to work, but he hates that he didn't have an EU passport back then.

With high wages and high costs, the equipment cannot be sold, and the follow-up R&D funds are not guaranteed, and a vicious circle begins.

Especially in the machine tool industry, workers are actually very important, and they need to be trained for a long time, and they must be able to endure hardships and learn and exercise slowly...... This Nima is joking, and the post-80s youth in Italy said that you must be sick and hard-working.

Italy's post-80s and post-90s generations are basically like Ba Shen, I'm sorry, Ba Shen is really a very good Italian youth, and the vast majority of Italian youth and French young people are the ancestors of Xiao Zhenxing.

Any gangster can graduate from college, and then he will be stupid, because 70% of them are humanities, and the ghost knows what the use is for all the mess they learn.

Xu Teng's visit to Europe lasted for three months, and he had to hold two or three meetings every day to discuss various treatments, analyze various data and reasons, and finally came to a conclusion, whoever wants to call on Chinese higher education to study Europe, whoever is a traitor!

When Xu Teng visited the UK, a professor at the University of Birmingham, who worked as a technical consultant in their nuclear power project department, told Xu Teng that 1/3 of the undergraduates of the Department of Natural Sciences and Science and Engineering at the University of Birmingham were from Asia and 1/4 from China, and this professor had brought a total of 4 doctoral students this year, 3 of whom were from China, and these 3 were all from the same school.

This is a very prestigious professor in the field of nuclear power industry in the United Kingdom.

Xu Teng really doesn't understand how Europe can become this virtue, so ah, he understands a little bit why Aunt Mo wants to absorb refugees, what's wrong with the Green Sect, and how can he work - of course, Aunt Mo really didn't expect that not only are their Europeans not as good as the next generation, but the young people in the Arab world are also sparse, so rotten that they can't support the wall, and they come to Europe to mix welfare, and they don't plan to work at all.

Generally speaking, Xu Teng observed in Europe for three months, analyzed various data, and felt that the Anglo-Saxons were really alive, and southern Europe, especially Italy, could not mention, the French youth were not much better than Italy, and this was Saint-Germain, which was simply a discredit to the Third Reich.

Of course, there are also good young people in Europe, with good grades and graduates from prestigious schools, and the proportion of their peers is about 10%, which are generally concentrated in big cities such as London, Paris, and Birmingham.

On the journey that finally flew back to Jiangzhou, because Xia Li took a few children home a month in advance, so as not to delay her two daughters going to kindergarten, Xu Teng was much quieter here, and summarized the itinerary of this visit to Europe with everyone in the conference room, including summarizing the unhandled matters.

Xu Teng really feels this time, from kindergarten to university, he must be in China, and when the child is studying for a doctorate, he will go to Cambridge, England for further study, and get in touch with the international atmosphere, even if the United States is forgotten, it is too unsafe.

The kindergarten where his three children are studying, that is quite a high standard, he and Xia Li are not at ease about the children's education, so they invested in building one, just inside the Emerald Lake Manor, which is basically a kindergarten for the children of the Huayin Foundation, and the principals are all returnees in the field of infant education...... Thinking about it now, Xu Teng was a little afraid, this principal would dare to play with him about European and American education, and he went back and immediately fired the other party's squid.

Don't feel sorry for the child for him, what kind of edutainment, what is cultivated is the scourge of European youth, the average success rate is only 10%, can it not be a group of money-losing goods?

In the traditional Chinese education system, the status of teachers is higher than that of parents, which is right.

It just so happened that Liang Weigen, Shi Lirong, and Luo Yukui were several joint partners present, as well as senior partners of other departments, especially Han Dai, who had followed Xu Teng for many years, and everyone was talking about these things together.

Xu Teng, Luo Yukui, and Han Dai are a generation, Luo Yukui is 78 years, Xu Teng and Han Dai are both post-80s, Xu Teng is 84 years old, and Han Dai is 82 years old.

These young people thought of the atmosphere of studying in school before, that is the real reading, receiving education, this set in Europe is not education at all, it is purely to fool the poor, those who have money go to private schools, the requirements are also very strict, many of them are dormitory, and finally they can enter famous schools such as Oxford and Cambridge.

In the end, this group of young people who were taught not only fooled two generations, but also the government and the whole country.

Xu Teng deliberately compared the textbooks of elementary and junior high schools in the United Kingdom and China, the third grade read the second grade, the sixth grade read the fourth grade, and then went to junior high school, and then completely collapsed.

Finally, when you get to high school, you can't force the same, otherwise you won't be able to get into college, and you can't let high school students study for five years, right?

So, there is also a preparatory university education between European universities and high schools.

Xu Teng told the truth, he had already completed this so-called preparatory university education in his sophomore year of high school, and went directly to the college entrance examination, Han Dai and Luo Yukui were the same, in the high schools of the three provinces, the progress was the same.

"What does this mean, the young people cultivated in our country in the three batches of the post-70s, post-80s and post-90s are completely different levels of youth from the three batches in Europe. Their best batch is not much different from our best batch, but what is our base, an average of 15 million births a year, calculated from 1990 when the post-70s began to take the university entrance examination, there are 120 million college students in three batches, the best of the best, there must be 20 million talents, how many can there be in Europe, at best 5 million essence, the others are wasted, either very ordinary, or mud that can't support the wall. ”

Xu Teng made a summary, thought about it, and sighed a little emotionally, "We used to always be bad in the United States, these years, we have run all the way down from North America to South America, from the Middle East to Europe, to tell the truth, we compare ourselves with the United States, I really think that there is a problem with the American talent pool, but to compare the United States with other countries, it is definitely the best." In the United States, from the post-70s to the post-90s, there are at least 7 million talents in three batches, plus the talents absorbed from the world, there are always 10 million. Why do you say that South Korea's economy is so powerful, that old Europe can't fight them, and why Taiwan was so fierce from the 70s to 2000, in the final analysis, it's all about education. Let's look at South Korea again, their education is basically similar to our model, which is a typical Oriental style. ”

"The real competition of great powers, in the end, is to fight for talents and education. Lao Liang sighed with emotion and basically agreed with Xu Teng's judgment, "So, if you want me to say, our overseas mergers and acquisitions over the years must be stopped, slowed down, the problem of the European economy is not that there is a problem with national policies, but that their education has collapsed."

"Basically, the mergers and acquisitions are almost, especially the business of Primoma, I dare not say that compared with Kuaitong and Jimaiter, the scale and level of the entire Huateng Prima can at least be shortlisted in the top ten of the global machine tool precision industry...... In the end, the negotiation between the chemical field and Syngenta, the volume and specifications of Garrett Fine Chemicals are still deficient after all, and the compensation for Yongtai Chemical is not particularly strong. "Don't look at Han Dai is sisters in 1982, people are different, since graduating from college in 2003, she has been working as the assistant to the chairman of Huateng Company, after so many years, it is really not comparable to ordinary people.

Han Dai's understanding of the data and layout of the entire Huayin consortium is sometimes clearer than Xu Teng, she has more things to deal with, and she must figure out all aspects.

"Hmm...... In the case of Industry 3.0, it is basically the same. "Xu Teng roughly calculated, it is indeed in place, people are quite interesting, BBC host Amélie Maitelis said that he has acquired more than 400 companies in Europe, just to steal technology, and he is still fighting with the other party.

What is it, in fact, the blind know.

In fact, there are at least 70 companies, because the technology is more sensitive, Xu Teng used other methods to acquire.

Of the 554 companies Xu Teng has acquired in the past seven years, high-tech companies account for 1/4, and 3/4 are traditional enterprises, mainly medium-sized companies supporting large European enterprises, and many of them are focused on small areas.

To what extent, maybe this company specializes in a certain type of bearing, and has been doing it for 70 years, some are one or two special gears, or knives, and some may be made of cylinders. There are also oak barrels for wine, and the family business for more than 150 years has specialized in oak barrels and repair oak barrels.

Large corporations, such as British Energy, Scottish Power, Kuka, Pmound Machinery, Worrick CNC Machine Tools, Roquette Chemicals, Putlin Fine Chemicals, ...... There are also 90 of them.

Together, these large and small European enterprises basically constitute the European supporting system of the entire Huateng industry.

Huateng Heavy Industry, Huateng Automobile, Huateng Seiko, Yongtai Chemical, Huateng Electronics, Huateng Hi-Tech, Shenzhou Electric, Zhongkong Group, Sino Soar Group...... They are all beneficiaries and major purchasers.

The products of these European supporting companies, compared with Japan and South Korea, and compared with German and Japanese giants in various fields, may have a certain gap, but at least they belong to second-tier brands, which are the best choices that can be acquired by the Huayin Consortium.

For example, Prima is a second-rate giant that has failed in the internal competition of old Europe, and it may not be possible to negotiate in this way.

Syngenta's negotiations have just begun, in fact, the competitiveness gap between Syngenta, Bayer and BASF is not a little bit, not five years or ten years, this is already the ultimate goal of the Huayin consortium to merge and acquire.

If you really want to negotiate with Bayer and BASF, it is estimated that there is no chance to even make a quotation, and even if the negotiation is successful, it is not possible for Bayer to merge and acquire Yongtai Chemical to make up for the lack of in the PX Asian market.

Don't look at Yongtai Chemical's earning power is not weaker than Bayer's too much, it is really more than the technical level and patent accumulation, including talents and customers, the gap is at least 30 years, compared with Syngenta, especially in the field of pesticide raw chemicals, it is also a 25-year gap.

Europeans criticize Xu Teng for buying these companies in order to steal technology, Xu Teng is still stubborn, in fact, what people say is not bad, but it is just ugly.

Prima in the production of the cost of high high, the main problem is that the wages are too high, the labor efficiency is not as good as the German competitors, in the research and development of new products, the cost is high, the efficiency is low, in the final analysis is the problem of people, no one.

In the past, some people said that China's aerospace industry is all post-80s, and the United States is all old men, in fact, in the machine tool industry of Prima Group, it is mainly middle-aged and elderly, and the production and technical departments are over 40 years old, and young people are basically administrative white-collar workers.

For example, it is very fortunate to engage in after-sales service in the global industrial system, and the manual work of traveling everywhere, the after-sales service of Prima Group in Turin headquarters is basically middle-aged, thirty years old, and twenty years old.

On the one hand, it is not very effective, it basically does not recruit, on the other hand, it is also difficult to recruit suitable people, the reason is that there is a problem with the welfare system, and young people are not willing to endure hardship at all.

Unemployed, unemployed, these young people in Italy don't care at all, everyone doesn't compete for hard jobs, and the higher the salary.

The EU's legal system is very tight, it is difficult for companies to outsource their work, and they cannot recruit employees from outside the EU.

That in Huateng Seiko Group is completely different things, after-sales are just graduated college students, 985 graduation also has to compete for an opportunity, Prima's after-sales salary if to Huateng Seiko, is a business trip to Africa for five years, still a lot of people to rush over.

Xu Teng has slowly observed in the past few years, and he must say that the analysis of the global economic crisis by experts in Europe, China, and the United States is bullshit, and the papers written by him cannot be understood by the chairman of a consortium like him.

He also graduated from the Department of Economics and holds an MBA from Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business.

All the problems come down to the fact that there is no labor force in Europe, at least half less than in the 90s of the last century.

Everyone says that the GDP of the United States is very weak, but in fact, the GDP of the European Union is even weaker.

What is capitalism, capitalism is exploitation, you don't let the capitalists exploit people, let the capitalists provide the employees like masters, can this enterprise still operate?

Can the country's economy be good?

Why are these European companies easy to acquire, really can't do it, the life of the boss is better than death, it is better to sell the company, hand over the funds to the bank to take care of, and earn a stable return of 5% in a year.

When I got to the bank, it was basically playing the numbers game, speculating on exchange rates and futures in the international market, and making a lot of financial derivatives worth hundreds of trillions of euros.

You have a kind of going to China to buy and see, why do people make money and sell them to you at a low price?

The vast majority of the enterprises that Xu Teng has acquired in China over the years are state-owned enterprises, why, it is not that there are arrangements from above to engage in industrial integration.

On the way back to China, he sorted out what he had seen and heard this time, sorted out a large amount of data he had analyzed in the past few months, and finally made a summary.

If you want to do big things, you still can't ask for face, and the big husband is not informal.

In the future, if someone continues to accuse him of stealing technology in Europe, then let the other party accuse, scold as much as he wants, he will not return the favor, and he will not die.

In recent years, he has spent a lot of energy and financial resources to acquire European enterprises and improve the industrial system of the entire Huayin consortium.

Give him another ten years, starting with Bayer, moving up to Trumpf, Amada and Komatsu, Toyota, Honda, General Motors, Samsung, Intel, Ericsson, Johnson & Johnson, Medtronic ...... Through the layout of the two sectors in China and Europe, the Huayin Consortium basically has a set of response lineups.

The acquisition of Syngenta still makes sense, and the acquisition of Ford basically makes no sense.

Through these seven years of rapid mergers and acquisitions, Xu Teng can be a little arrogant to say that he has basically solved the technical problems of the entire Huateng industrial system, and compared with the top international giants, the gap is five to ten years.

Compared with domestic competitors in various fields, the speed of his overseas mergers and acquisitions and the improvement of the entire system is very fast, and the cost is to spend more thought and cost integration, so since 2011, the most important work of the entire Huayin consortium is to focus on itself, not to rush, anyway, the general environment of competitors is not good.

After so many years of tempering, Xu Teng has finally reached a very high level in this field of business, and many ideas and ways of thinking are returning to the basics.

Masters fight, the difference is a millimeter.

My workers are harder than yours, my researchers are smarter than yours, my executives are more active than you, my structures are more flexible than yours, and I will definitely win you in the end.

Xu Teng has thoroughly understood a truth, engaging in industry is the same as war, fighting is people, and everything else is just a matter of details, the difference between good and good. (To be continued.) )
