Chapter 310: A Trip to Europe
There is no doubt that Chen Jie's matter was done by Lu Yang, and for this person who once won his trust and later betrayed him without hesitation, Lu Yang really couldn't find a reason to let him go. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info As for whether such a punishment is too much, Lu Yang will definitely not think like this, he did not send Chen Jie to prison, which is already considered merciful.
"Boss, this is the company's investment report last year." After the group's annual meeting, Su Yan submitted a report to Lu Yang alone, which was a project invested by Tianxin Group last year.
In the eyes of many people, Tianxin Group is a high-tech company, mainly producing electronic devices such as smartphones, but in fact, Tianxin Group is much more than that. Since the sale of "Star 1", Tianxin Group's annual profit has been growing rapidly, exceeding 140 billion US dollars in 2012 and reaching 185 billion US dollars in 2013, which is almost five times that of Tianxin Group's earliest rival Apple.
In the 2012 list of the world's top 500 companies, Tianxin Group ranked fourth with a revenue of 418 billion US dollars, but it is indeed the most profitable, even those oil and gas companies cannot compare.
This year in a row, with such a large amount of profits, Lu Yang naturally can't keep it in the bank to eat interest. As a result, another company appeared under Tianxin Group, called Tianxin Investment. To this end, Luyang hired a professional team to provide advice and operation for himself.
Since 09, Tianxin investment is responsible for Lu Yang himself, although he is not so keen on the market, and he does not dare to say how forward-looking he is in some industries, but with the gold finger company, Lu Yang's investment road is still very smooth.
What the outside world doesn't know is that in three years, Luyang's investment in the field of new materials alone has exceeded 30 billion US dollars. In addition, Lu Yang has spent a lot of money on resource investment, and so far, has secretly hoarded more than 10 million tons of steel.
Another area that Lu Yang focuses on investing in is life sciences, including gene technology, a taboo technology claimed by Tiandao credit cards. In this field, Lu Yang has invested more than 50 billion US dollars, and through years of covert layout, Lu Yang has controlled a number of powerful laboratories. These labs are all in Western countries and have some good results every year. Lu Yang plans to wait until the right time to integrate these labs.
In terms of Internet electronic technology, Lu Yang's investment is very small, the reason is very simple, because in this field, the world's most advanced technology is his Tianxin Group. In new energy, Lu Yang has almost no investment, because he can't find project investment. The earth's current energy technology is too rough, and he can buy one from the Tiandao Mall at will, which is much more advanced than the earth's technology.
Su Yan only took over Tianxin Investment in September last year, when Lu Yang's son was just born. But in fact, Su Yan doesn't know much about Tianxin Investment. Among all the industries in Luyang, only Tianxin Investment is handled by him, and now Su Yan is only doing auxiliary work, and the specific work is still carried out by Luyang's team.
Lu Yang glanced at the investment report, last year, Tianxin Investment made a total of more than 50 billion investments, involving more than 50 billion US dollars, involving a wide range of fields, including infrastructure, agriculture, medical and health, gene technology, polymer materials, antimatter research, metals and so on.
"Boss, these investments ......" Su Yan looked at the astronomical figures on the report and couldn't help but ask.
"These are investments in the future of the group and are very important to me." Lu Yang explained vaguely, and Su Yan didn't ask any more.
After the New Year, Lu Yuhan took the crew of "Three-Body Problem" to Berlin, and Lu Yang also went to Europe, but he did not go to the film festival, but to invest and acquire.
Luyang's first stop was the United Kingdom, the old empire. In the United Kingdom, he was received by the British royal family, and even the Queen of England could not ignore the investment of the world's richest man, who was worth hundreds of billions of dollars.
Lu Yang had no good impression of the dinner at Buckingham Palace, or that he was unhappy with the British royal family itself. More than 100 years ago, John Bull was the first great power to open the door to China, and just 17 years ago, it still occupied the port city of China.
What made Lu Yang most uncomfortable was the cumbersome etiquette at the banquet, before meeting with the queen, the royal family also sent a special etiquette officer to train him, and Lu Yang had the urge to turn around and leave.
"Mr. Lu, don't you like tonight's banquet?" At the dinner, Prince William walked up to Lu Yang.
Lu Yang said unabashedly: "I can only say that I am not used to such an occasion......"
Prince William chuckled, "You are very frank, this is different from the Chinese people I have seen before. But to be honest, people who come here to a banquet rarely express their liking for the banquet because it's too boring, isn't it? ”
Lu Yang looked at Prince William with a smile on his face.
"It's really hard to imagine that in the old-fashioned royal family, you can still see such a straightforward person as the prince." Lu Yang touched the cup with him.
"The royal family is old, but I'm young." Prince William smiled, "Mr. Lu, do you like football?" There's a derby game in London tomorrow, Chelsea vs Arsenal, if you're interested? ”
"Of course, even in my home country, these two teams have countless fans." Lu Yang readily accepted the invitation, and his visit to the United Kingdom this time was one of his goals to establish a relationship with the royal family.
This time the London derby was played at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea's home stadium, and in the box, Prince William briefed Lu Yang on Chelsea's situation.
'Chelsea's current owner is the Russian billionaire Abbu and the manager is Jose Mourinho, and this is his second time in charge of Chelsea'......
Lu Yang interjected: "I have heard of Mourinho, nicknamed the madman, Chinese fans call him the magic bird, and he is a very individual person. ”
William agrees: "It's really personal. ”
The atmosphere in the stadium was very warm, and the huge cheering sound made Lu Yang a little unaccustomed, he was not a fan, and his love for football was just when he was a child, and this was the first time he watched the game live. Looking at Prince William next to him, although he tried his best to restrain himself and did not yell like ordinary fans, everyone could feel the excitement. Lu Yang even suspected that if it weren't for his identity, this guy would have rushed out.
"Good shot!" When the goal was scored, Prince William couldn't help but jump up and let out a loud shout.
The next moment, he glanced at Lu Yang beside him, very embarrassed.
'I'm sorry, I'm an Arsenal fan......' said Prince William.
Lu Yang waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, everyone will be excited when they see the team they support score a goal." ”
"Mr. Lu, I wonder if you have considered investing in the Premier League?" At halftime, Prince William suddenly asked, "Now that the Premier League has become the best league in the world, there is a lot of capital entering every year, so it is a very good choice." ”
Lu Yang said with a smile: "The prince is worthy of being the president of the English Football Association...... Investing in the Premier League, perhaps, can be considered. ”
Lu Yang's words are not perfunctory, sports has always been his choice of investment. In China, Lu Yang has invested in many sports schools, but he does it as a public welfare undertaking and does not think about relying on these profits.
"It's also a good choice to buy a football team...... Lu Yang looked at the two teams that were competing fiercely below, and wondered in his heart.
Lu Yang spent a week in England, during which time he and Prince William grew on better terms, and Prince William invited him to his four-man estate for dinner with his family. Here, Lu Yang met the famous Princess Kate, and their son, the third in line to the throne of the British Empire.
During his time in the UK, Lu personally confirmed the acquisition of several companies, a computer company, two biopharmaceutical companies, and a company specializing in engine design, for a total of $14 billion. Lu Yang of these four companies has personally inspected, and in some technical aspects, they are a great supplement to the current Tianxin Group, and the patents they hold are very important.
After leaving the UK, Lu Yang traveled to Germany, where he met with Wendkorn, the chairman of the Volkswagen Group. As one of the world's largest automobile companies, Volkswagen Group owns ten well-known automobile brands and covers all aspects of the automotive industry, and is definitely the world's top automobile company.
The Volkswagen Group gave the highest level of reception to Lu Yang's visit, and the two sides held a three-day negotiation session in Wolfsburg, the headquarters of the Volkswagen Group. The purpose of Lu Yang's visit this time is to acquire the other party's car brand Lamborghini, while the Volkswagen Group wants to obtain Tianxin Automobile's technology in electric vehicle research.
The acquisition of Lamborghini is a suggestion made by Wang Chuanfu to Lu Yang, with the aim of allowing Tianxin Automobile to open the international market faster. Moreover, Lamborghini, as the world's top sports car and luxury symbol, is conducive to improving the brand of Tianxin Automobile.
"Mr. Lu, we have no plans to sell Lamborghini at this time." Wendeen politely rejected Lu Yang's acquisition request, and the Volkswagen Group is not short of money now, so naturally it will not sell its car brands.
Lu Yang said: "Professor Wendeen, maybe you can think about it again, I think no one in this world is willing to pay the price I give." ”
Wendner shook his head: "This is already the final decision of the company's board of directors. ”
"Okay then." Lu Yang saw that the other party was not a negotiation strategy, and he also understood that there was no hope of acquisition, "I hope there will be a chance to cooperate next time." ”
Volkswagen Group rejected Lu Yang's acquisition, of course Lu Yang will not cooperate with them on electric vehicles, although the other party offered a lot of price, but Lu Yang is not short of money, so why train an opponent for himself.
After leaving Germany, Lu Yang flew to Italy again, this time, to a special place. (To be continued.) )
