Chapter 116: Black Warrior

Zhang Lie was skeptical, not knowing what Steven wanted to do.

However, out of trust in Catherine, since she told herself that she could trust these people completely, she would trust them for a while.

In fact, because of the sudden acquisition of STX Group by Zhang's Investment Fund, Huaguo was also in turmoil. Because of the previous STX Group, there are several projects in China, among which in Liancheng, STX Group has a large shipyard. If STX is acquired, it doesn't mean that the big shipyard also changes owners.

The state knew that Zhang's investment fund belonged to Zhang Lie, and after confirming that Zhang Lie had acquired STX Group, a deputy minister of the Ministry of Machinery Industry of the People's Republic of China had already set off to Yuntai to negotiate with Zhang Lie on some matters related to STX. In the past, the STX stall was very large, there were several large stalls in China, and there were several cooperation with the Ministry of Machinery Industry.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of these cooperations, they had to renegotiate with Zhang Lie. Zhang Lie's status, these central officials, have a certain understanding.

Before I went, I wasn't sure if I could get a good result from this negotiation.

The acquisition of STX Group is an unconscious blow to the world's shipbuilding industry, which is in the midst of aquatic heat. People have thoroughly realized the decline of the shipbuilding industry, and a few years ago, those who were ambitious and seemed to want to buy shipyards all over the world are now paying for the original ambitions.

He wasn't too reassured. Catherine was contacted to ask if Steven could really be trusted. Catherine didn't know why Zhang Lie would say such a thing at first, and then listened to Zhang Lie's explanation. Only then did he tell Zhang Lie that Steven could be trusted, and he would not and would not dare to betray.

Zhang Lie didn't know why Catherine was so sure that the other party wouldn't be backed. But since Catherine was so confident, Zhang Lie trusted him again. After all, he knew that even if the whole world betrayed him, Catherine and Cui Shirley would not betray him.

A day later. Zhang Lie met Zheng Liren, executive deputy minister of the Ministry of Machinery Industry, who came from Beijing.

Zhang Lie can be said to have been friends with Zheng Liren for a long time, and he has given the whole central government the green light to this man. Full of curiosity. Of course, he did not dare to exert any pressure on him by virtue of being the deputy minister of the Ministry of Machinery Industry.

They are world-class tycoons, and their main industries are in the United States. Don't look at the investment in the PTZ. Several projects have been launched, but compared to his influence in the world, the PTZ is not enough at all.

"Mr. Zhang, I would like to express my heartfelt congratulations to your Zhang's Investment Fund on its acquisition of STX Group, which can be said to be the pride of our Huaguo entrepreneurs." As soon as Zheng Liren came up, it was a set of official words.

Zhang Lie also said a few words of hypocrisy to him, and he didn't break it. Zheng Liren saw that Zhang Lie didn't have the idea of talking about business, and he was a little anxious. But he knows it. This conversation was already at a disadvantage, if I spoke first. There is no advantage to it.

But he really can't pretend to be stupid like Zhang Lie, if he doesn't convince Zhang Lie, the companies that STX Group has invested in or joint ventures in China are likely to be yellow.

"Mr. Zhang, I don't know if you know, STX Group was before. There are a number of cooperation with China, and several projects. All under the supervision of our Ministry of Machinery Industry. Zheng Liren said.

Zhang Lie nodded and asked, "So what?" ”

"I just want to know if there will be any changes to these cooperation projects after Mr. Zhang takes control of STX Group. Whether it will affect the cooperation between us, the state has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in this regard, and if there is a problem in cooperation, the country will suffer huge losses. Zheng Liren was anxious and said it in one go.

Zhang Lie had a headache and didn't speak, just closed his eyes and pondered for a while. No way, he doesn't know what Steven is going to do now, he keeps saying that he won't let himself lose money, but can make a lot of money. Could it be that he has already found out how to save the devastated STX Group?

He opened his eyes, looked at the anxious Zheng Liren, thought for a while, and then said: "Minister Zheng, since we have just acquired STX Group, some of his specific business projects have not been sorted out for the time being. I can't promise anything until we come up with a plan, but I promise you that no matter what happens in the end, you won't lose too much. ”

Zheng Liren would like to say that it is not a question of whether to lose or not, but to be able to introduce STX's technology and his advanced management experience. But think about it, as Zhang Lie said, the current situation of STX Group is not clear, and only when these are figured out, can they decide how STX Group will perform.

After ending the talks with Zhang Lie, Zheng Liren did not leave Yuntai, but stayed here directly. Accompanied by the leaders of the city during the day, he visited some of the achievements of Yuntai, and actually waited for Zhang Lie's reply.

Seeing that time passed day by day, Zhang Lie still did not give an answer. After the acquisition of STX Group, there seems to be no news, as if the world is at peace.

So every qiē seems weird, everyone doesn't know what Zhang's Investment Fund is going to do, and how he will do it.

The days of waiting were anxious, but fortunately, it didn't last long. Half a month after STX was acquired, Zhang's Investment Fund held a huge conference in the capital of Nanbang State.

Zhang Lie did not go to the scene, and he did not know the shock of the reporters at the scene.

Before the meeting, Zhang Lie had already obtained the main content of the meeting.

Seeing this text in his hand, Zhang Lie really wanted to look up to the sky and laugh. It's so happy, it's so relieving to him.

That's right, his Zhang's Investment Fund did buy STX Group. But so far, $300 million has been paid to the STX Group owner family. After Zhang's Investment Fund took control of STX, it actually did nothing else. In this half a month,. Finally, the day before the meeting, the three reached an agreement that Zhang's Investment Fund would own all the patents and technologies in the field of shipbuilding of STX Group. All STX Group's shipyards except Huaguo will be split equally between Samsung and Hyundai. The STX Group's enterprises in the fields of shipping, energy and machinery will also be divided between Samsung and Hyundai. At this point, STX Group will be completely history, and all its technologies and patents will become the cornerstone of Zhang Lie's exhibition. At the same time, Samsung and Hyundai will pay nearly $30 billion to Chang's investment fund in order to get STX's industry. Of this, $10 billion will be paid immediately, and the remaining $20 billion will be paid in five installments over two years.

Zhang Lie didn't know how the outside world discussed it, anyway, after he got this result, he laughed out loud. Only then did he begin to look squarely at the helpers Catherine had sought for him.

A large enterprise with total assets of 40 billion US dollars only spent 300 million in cash and was completely in control. Then this large enterprise was split and sold, and it was resold to earn more than 20 billion dividends.

This is too clever, although the profit earned is about the same as that of selling nuclear bombs. But this is a formal business practice, not only defeating the STX level giant in a dignified manner, but also plundering such a big profit.

As for the fact that Samsung and Hyundai will grow again after splitting STX, and after this winter, these two companies will be even bigger and more unshakable.

But Zhang Lie doesn't care, he is only manufacturing luxury yachts at best, as long as there is technology, materials, and top designers, he believes that his luxury yachts will definitely become famous. Zhang Lie wants high-quality products, not big-road goods like Samsung and Hyundai.

There is no doubt that his yacht is definitely the Aston Martin of the yachting world, not Toyota.

Sure enough, the world media went crazy the next day. The major media that unanimously sang about Zhang's Investment Fund before shut up as soon as possible, and advocated shamelessly, which is a classic investment case that can be written into a textbook.

However, this commercial action of Zhang's Investment Fund has confirmed his reputation as a black warrior. Previously, he used guò to plunder the way and controlled the Becky Fund in his hands. This time, he used various means to acquire STX Group at a very low price, and finally spun it off.

Although the outside world does not know how much money was spent by Zhang's Investment Fund to acquire STX Group, according to insiders, Zhang's Investment Fund has grabbed at least tens of billions of profits in this business operation.

In the context of the general weakness of the world economy, a business act can obtain such huge benefits. Zhang's Investment Fund became famous all of a sudden, but it was not a good reputation.

Even Wall Street began to rumor that as long as the company targeted by Zhang's investment fund was destined to be dismantled and sold. Take a look at the former chairman of the STX Group, after learning that the STX Group has completely become history and has been divided between the sworn rivals Hyundai and Samsung. Directly on the same night, he had a heart attack and died after rescue efforts failed.

Zhang Liecai didn't care about how the STX Group was, anyway, he couldn't look at it except for the first technical information in the field of ships. Whoever is willing to ask for it, because of an STX group, Zhang Lie has mastered a Qiē technology and corresponding patents in the field of shipbuilding at this time. As long as a large number of engineers and designers are recruited from Europe, his shipyard can even start.

Zheng Liren was stunned after knowing the content of the press conference. He had never thought of such a business practice. He originally thought that Zhang Lie was going to enter the shipbuilding industry, after all, he was building a shipyard in Yuntai. And now with the acquisition of STX Group, he suddenly has enough say in the world shipbuilding field. But I didn't expect that he actually split and sold it, although he got cash, but he fattened Hyundai and Samsung. With the addition of STX, Hyundai and Samsung will be in this industry, leaving other countries far behind.

"What a loser!" This is Zhang Lie's only thought in Zheng Liren's heart, if he had known that he was selling, why didn't he sell it to a domestic shipyard. (To be continued)
