Xu Xunfeng's study, Ji Xueyan is tutoring Xu Xunfeng on some investment theories, as Xu Xunfeng begins to emerge in the business field, this ignorant president is always bad in the face of reporters, so the necessary theoretical knowledge and deeds must also be understood. It happened that the shooting case was still inconclusive during this time, which also made Xu Xunfeng's nervous brain relax.

Now the case that Ji Xueyan told Xu Xunfeng is one of the classic cases of Buffett's investment: Washington Post Company: invested $11 million and made a profit of $1.687 billion

In 70 years, the Washington Post Company developed from a small newspaper to a media giant, premised on the monopoly standards of the industry, and the natural monopoly of the newspaper created one of the most influential newspapers in the world, and the Watergate scandal led Nixon to resign.

From 1975 to 1991, Warren Buffett's Washington Post achieved a 10-fold increase in earnings per share and a 160-fold profit in 30 years, from $10 million to $1.7 billion.

Ji Xueyan sat in Xu Xunfeng's arms, this posture is naturally not an ordinary tutor, and she obviously looks like a bird: "The reason why Buffett succeeded in making a profit of more than 160 times is that his judgment of the market at that time is the biggest contribution." Newspapers were the most mainstream information carriers at that time, and the Washington Post, because of its location and market audience, had huge room for growth. In addition, Buffett's control of hot things is also the key. The Watergate scandal spawned by the Washington Post directly led to the newspaper's market value skyrocketing! Hot spot investment, potential hot spot control! That's what inspired Warren Buffett to invest in the Wall Street Post. Any hot spot, before it becomes a hot spot, is likely to be a cold spot. So, it's up to you how you dig out. ”

Xu Xunfeng shrugged his shoulders: "Okay, it seems that learning to make money is really troublesome, but when you talk about this, what is the connection between our recent joint acquisition of energy in Southeast Asia?" ”

Ji Xueyan said: "That's because the opponent we will face next is precisely the winner of Buffett's lunch rights in N years." Buffett's most ardent follower, Edward! This is the first time you're going to be formally involved in business negotiations, so I want you to know who you are. ”

Xu Xunfeng covered his forehead helplessly and said, "You really want me to negotiate, hey, can't you help me go." ”

"Nope." Ji Xueyan shook her head coquettishly, "You can't let me go every time, after all, you are the chairman of the company, according to the reciprocal relationship, this time Locke Energy Company asked Edward to come forward, and we should send the top leadership to meet." To do otherwise is to make them feel that we lack the sincerity to negotiate. ”

"Okay, then as far as you know, what is the bottom line of the price they are negotiating now."

Ji Xueyan said: "Locke Energy is not short of money at all, and Edward himself does not want to give up the energy field in Southeast Asia, but because of China's penetration and pressure in Southeast Asia, coupled with our multi-party manipulation, they have to return to the negotiating table." But Edward was a stubborn man, unlike other negotiators. Negotiations can be opened after giving enough price, for him. Money is just one, and some additional compensation is what he pays more attention to. ”

"Additional compensation? What is that? ”

"For example, their company can sell you energy exploration rights in Southeast Asia and approve of your business of buying you, but he wants to retain the possibility of joint development in the later stage."

"Oh. In this way, he didn't want to give it all up. ”

"Of course."

Xu Xunfeng smiled: "In the final analysis, this person is interested in the long-term, and short-term funds are not very attractive to him." Well, I'm going to meet him. ”

When he first met Edward, Xu Xunfeng saw what it meant to be a businessman. Edward didn't want to waste everyone's time. He directly explained his negotiation conditions, which were no different from Ji Xueyan's judgment.

Xu Xunfeng felt that this person had a firm stance, was a good businessman, and among the reasons Edward insisted on, he constantly declared that he was responsible to all shareholders.

Xu Xunfeng rarely took the initiative to speak: "President Edward." I understand your intentions well. It's just that now you should also be aware of all the forms, the joint acquisition of the four major groups is the general trend, even if you don't agree, many countries in Southeast Asia will be forced by political pressure to impose some restrictions on your cooperation. Since you are so direct, then I will naturally give you a direct answer. If Mr. Edward agrees to sign a transfer contract with us, then I can assure you on behalf of the Big Four that the Big Four will have priority in working with you for their energy business in Africa. ”

"Hey, what are you talking about?" Ji Xueyan was dazed by Xu Xunfeng's sudden words, this is a topic they haven't talked about before, what African energy business, this is something that the four major group companies have not yet touched.

Even Edward was a little caught off guard by Xu Xunfeng's statement: "Mr. Xu, as far as I know, the four major groups do not have any energy business in Africa now, I don't know what the basis for what you say is this?" ”

"It hasn't been carried out now, and you will not carry it out in the future. Mr. Edward should also see that the intention of the four major groups to unite is very strong. The capital and advantages of these four major groups are also not available to many group companies, and similarly, China's advantages in Africa are also not available to many countries. ”

Edward was a little stunned by what Xu Xunfeng said. And Ji Xueyan took advantage of this opportunity to quickly pull Xu Xunfeng out.

"What the hell are you up to?"

"Didn't you tell me to talk more and play the role of president."

"But I didn't let you talk nonsense." Ji Xueyan urged sadly, "Do you know that you have disrupted the whole plan. ”

"yes, I don't think so?" Xu Xunfeng put his arm around Ji Xueyan's waist and said, "Think about it, why are we in a hurry to acquire the energy part of Southeast Asia, is it really a completely commercial layout." Of course not, as you said, this is the arrangement of the National Security Bureau, that is to say, we do not use any means, as long as we cooperate with the above to take down these control rights, we have completed the task. As for the part we have lost, the state will compensate us. And what will the state compensate? Hehe, that's not what we said. ”

Ji Xueyan is purely considering the problem from the business field, she really did not consider it from some political aspects, this point, Xu Xunfeng, who has been trained in the rivers and lakes since childhood, obviously understands better. As soon as Xu Xunfeng said it, Ji Xueyan woke up like a dream: "However, the African business is easy to say, and it is not very simple to carry out. It is important to understand that some of Africa's major energy countries are also places with a lot of turmoil. China's power in these places may not be able to quell all the connections. ”

"It's better if the domestic strength can't be calmed down, so that I can play my role better. Haha, don't forget what I do. ”

Now it was Ji Xueyan's turn to cover her forehead: "Damn." I've also given you so many finance courses, it turns out that what you think about is strength in your mind, and you still can't get enough of your last trip to Africa. ”

"Of course, Michael and Terry are helping me investigate the shooting, no matter what, this matter is bound to involve Africa, because the headquarters of the two major mercenary groups of Datang and Blackwater are in Africa, I don't believe that the super killer has nothing to do with the mercenary group."

"In short, you have a reason." Ji Xueyan felt that she didn't mean that she couldn't say Xu Xunfeng, but in this kind of matter, Xu Xunfeng's judgment was more accurate than herself after all, and women had to give face to men many times, and Ji Xueyan would not understand this truth.

When Ji Xueyan and Xu Xunfeng went out to discuss, Edward had already discussed the issue with his assistants, and returned to the negotiation table again. Edward said: "Mr. Xu, I can only say that this is just your personal assumption, and it is impossible for us to include him in the topic of discussion without the support of reality." ”

Xu Xunfeng said: "Then what kind of reality support do you need?" ”

"We at Locke Energy Group have strong commercial development intentions in Central Africa, but due to many factors, we have not yet entered these countries. If Mr. Xu really said that our company will be prioritized in the field of cooperation in Africa, then starting from Central Africa, we know that Erit has a lot of energy, and it has not been fully developed for the time being. Your company can unite the four major groups to consider expanding business in this country first, of course, as long as you expand your business in this country, we will naturally cooperate with you immediately, and the problems in Southeast Asia will be easily solved. ”

Erlitt has given the ground a lot of oil and other energy resources, but now they are at war. The government has no control over the rebels. To go to that kind of place at such a time to do commercial development is to give the rebels a living hostage. Edward's move was undoubtedly to give Xu Xunfeng a difficult state to ride a horse.

However, Xu Xunfeng was very relaxed and said, "You mean that as long as we win the development project in the region and take the initiative to cooperate with you, then you can give up your business in Southeast Asia." ”

Edward said: "Yes, and I want energy exploration cooperation throughout the west of Erlit. ”

Ji Xueyan exclaimed, "This is impossible. President Edward. You should be well aware that the whole country of Erlit is in a state of war, and the west is even more chaotic, and the resources that are now being explored show that the west accounts for seventy percent of their country's oil reserves, so let's take down the entire western business and develop it with you, which is almost an impossible task. ”

Edward retorted directly: "Then let's give up the business in Southeast Asia for no reason, it's also an impossible task, isn't it." ”

"Alright. Mr. Edward, don't fight over this issue, since I said this, I will naturally honor it for you. But you also have to deliver on what you say. Once that happens, you have to sign off right away and we buy the entire South East Asia business. Xu Xunfeng stood up and straightened his suit, this kind of occasion was still not suitable for him, he needed to leave quickly. (To be continued......)
