"What happened just now was just a small accident, everyone please continue, don't be disturbed."

In Adolf. After Merkler's figure completely disappeared, Hans. Schroeder hurriedly rounded up, and soon the gentlemen and ladies in the audience stopped paying attention to this side and continued the unfinished conversation just now.

Naturally, these are all social etiquette, and the current appearance is just to show that they have good cultivation, but in fact, most people keep this matter and Zhong Shi in mind. Especially the words of Zhong Shi's almost demonstration at the end shocked them even more.

Seeing that the banquet hall was restored to order, Hans. Schroeder finally let out a sigh of relief, walked up to Zhong Shi, and looked apologetic, "Mr. Zhong, I'm very sorry to let some people who don't know what to call interfere with you." In this way, I will personally accompany you for the rest of the time, so as not to have similar rude incidents again, and at the same time introduce some friends to Mr. Zhong. ”

"There's no need for that!" Zhong Shi smiled and refused, "Mr. Hans, I believe that after what happened just now, no one should come to provoke me again." As for the friends you said, I believe that the friends who need to know me should come to the door on their own soon, right? With that, he glanced at Hans with great meaning.

When Zhong Shi looked at him like this, the expression on Hans's face suddenly froze. Rao is reaction was fast, and he couldn't help but show a look of surprise at this time, but he didn't want to be seen by Zhong Shi clearly.

Just a few minutes ago, Zhong Shi's watch was still like a "Angry Eyes King Kong", but soon he became a "low-eyebrow Bodhisattva", and this kind of love is a kind of control zhì that makes people sigh. If it is said that the ability to control the situation on the xù just makes Hans. Schroeder's words of praise, and Jongshi's sentence "A friend who needs to know me will come to the door himself" made Hans realize the young man's ability to guess people's hearts. And it was precisely with this thought that Hans's old face with no waves appeared a hint of surprise.

Sure enough, he is not an ordinary person, maybe he has already guessed his master's mind before coming to Germany. Hans. Schroeder walked away with such doubts.

"Mr. Chung......"

After helping the waiter clean up the mess on the ground. Sloane. Landman walked over, but as soon as he spoke, he was interrupted by Bell Stone.

"Sloane, you're doing a good job, you're doing a great job!" Bell Stone's first sentence made Sloane's heart flutter, but the next sentence made Sloane angry. "If you're an investment talent, I might be able to poach you into our company."

Investing requires intuitive instinct and rigorous logic, and the most important thing in the merger industry is connections, which are more than 108,000 miles apart, so Sloan is very sorry.

"But I can give you a piece of advice!" Perhaps he couldn't bear to see Sloane's disappointed expression, Zhong Shi made a rare gesture of kindness, lowered his voice and said, "Leave the Kaminari Brothers company as soon as possible." ”

Sloane's face turned pale.

He didn't think that Zhongshi was untargeted, or that he was warning indiscriminately. Two months ago. Bear Stearns' sudden "death" shocked the global financial markets, and people in the City of London were also shocked. Sloan and his colleagues carefully studied Bear Stearns' case in the aftermath and found that there were only three short days from the rumor to the time Bear Stearns became unsustainable.

And after Bear Stearns fell, speculation spread in the market about who would fall next. Among them, Merrill Lynch Securities and Kaminari Brothers, which are the weakest, were pushed to the cusp. Although so far, there is nothing to suggest. The two companies have big problems with liquidity or financial status, but as soon as Zhong Shi speaks, it at least means that Kaminari Brothers has been targeted by some funds.

In fact, in the industry, since the collapse of Bear Stearns, there has been a claim that Bear Stearns was strangled by hedge funds. But first, because of the lack of confirmation of the weight of the character. The second is that hedge fund people strenuously deny it, so this claim has not spread on a large scale. But Sloan and his colleagues agreed that hedge funds certainly played a huge role in the collapse of Bear Stearns, even if they were not the immediate cause of Bear Stearns' collapse.

At one point, Sloane and others suspected that someone like Bell Stone was behind it. It's just that because of that lawsuit, Sloan and the others didn't put Zhongshi on the list of suspects. But now that Bell Stone said that, Sloane realized that maybe Bell Stone wasn't involved, or at least he certainly knew something inside.

Now that Zhongshi has escaped from the SEC lawsuit, he can naturally show his skills. In this case, the Kaminari brothers are targeted by the other party, and Sloan does not dare to think about what the consequences will be.

In just one minute, he was already cold all over his body, and cold sweat was oozing from his head.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to my birthday party! ”

At this moment, the lights of the banquet hall were dimmed, and then the protagonist of the banquet appeared under the illumination of the spotlight. Porsche is finally on the scene.

Wolfgang. At 65 years old, Porsche is the third generation of the Porsche family. He has a slightly funny round face, and the appearance of a smile is very suitable for comedy. At this time, he walked to the center of the banquet hall with a smile on his face, and all the guests invariably surrounded him, naturally forming a circle, and the applause rang out at the right time.

Wolfgang. Porsche pressed his suit with one hand, bowed slightly, and continued: "It is a great honor to have so many colleagues and dignitaries present at my birthday party." Time flies, I am 65 years old in the blink of an eye, which reminds me of my 15th birthday, when there were not so many VIPs. ”

In the midst of a good-natured laugh, Wolfgang. Porsche continues: "Although 50 years have passed and the world has changed from what it used to be, Porsche's industrial spirit remains the same, and we remain committed to delivering better and faster high-performance sports cars to our customers all over the world." On this point, I have the same goals as my grandfather, my father, and my brother. ”

As soon as these words came out, the entire banquet hall burst into warm applause. As the king of road sports cars, one of the most cost-effective sports cars. Porsche's cars have always enjoyed an excellent reputation around the world. These achievements are inseparable from the efforts of the Porsche family, and Wolfgang, as the current chairman of the board of directors, is naturally qualified to say such things.

"As you may have noticed, while focusing on the high-end sports car market, we have also begun to enter the SUV market, and the current Cayenne series of cars is a test of the waters. Although it was an initial attempt, the market response was very good. Therefore, in the future, in addition to the traditional sports sedan business, the Porsche factory will also provide high-end, comfortable large cars to consumers all over the world. ”

"Plus, there's good news to announce. After a long and solemn announcement, the Porsche family has decided to enter the low-end sedan market, and at the right time in the future, it will launch a more suitable for a wider range of people, more cost-effective and more affordable ordinary cars. ”

Like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, Wolfgang's words immediately stirred up waves in the quiet crowd. As a result of participating in Wolfgang. There are quite a few car giants at Porsche's birthday party. Including the United States, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, France and other countries of the automotive enterprises, so in Wolfgang. After Porsche said this, their faces all fluctuated in love.

At present, Porsche is the most profitable company in the world, but because the Porsche brand has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as a high-end product, and now the Porsche family has announced its entry into the low-end market, and it is bound to share a share with other manufacturers. Although it is only an intention now, the major automakers have begun to muttered in their hearts how to deal with such a situation.

And for those who are not engaged in the production of automobiles. The news is even more shocking. At the moment, they didn't care about etiquette, and they had already begun to discuss in small voices.

"Ladies. Gentlemen, please be at ease. Seeing that the effect he wanted to create had been achieved, Wolfgang. Porsche showed a very satisfied expression, stretched out his hand and said, "Regarding entering the low-end car market, it complements the current business. This is indeed a serious challenge for the Porsche family. Because neither our design concept nor the capacity of the factory can support this in the short term. So I'm going to announce one thing, to be precise, a map of how Porsche will enter the low-end car market. ”

Speaking of which. There has been a lot of speculation about Wolfgang. What Porsche was about to say next, their eyes were on a middle-aged man with glasses on the edge of the crowd, who was the same person as Volkswagen's representative at today's birthday party.

Ferdinand. Piëch did not show up after all, but only sent such a middle-aged man to attend. And the middle-aged man was expressionless at the moment, as if he had nothing to do with him. It's just that the constant movement of holding his glasses and the muscles twitching at the corners of his mouth betray his true thoughts.

"I, Wolfgang. Porsche, on behalf of Porsche's Board of Directors, has once again announced that it will increase its shareholding in Volkswagen from the current 30.9 percent to more than 50 percent in the coming period. In other words, we will take a stake in Volkswagen in the market until we control the company. ”

As soon as the words came out, the four were shocked.

Although the Porsche family's desire to covet Volkswagen has long been known, the idea of turning from speculation into reality still shocked everyone in the room. Wolfgang. By saying such things in full view of Porsche, it is undoubtedly tantamount to choosing to go to war with the current management and board of directors of Volkswagen. For the first time, the Porsche family has put its ambitions on the table.

"Enjoy today's dinner, guests."

Just as there was a buzz of discussion in the room, Wolfgang. Porsche took a glass of wine from the waiter's tray, held it high, and said to the crowd around him. Then the soft music sounded, the lights came back on, and the whole occasion was back to normal.

Although it is still the same environment as before, everyone's mood has changed, and there is no longer the same relaxed and easy-going as just now. People were arranged and combined again, and they became small teams of three or five, but now the topic of discussion was no longer just social chat, everyone was talking about Wolfgang just now. Porsche announcements.

"Hello, Mr. Zhong!"

The crowd dispersed, and Zhong Shi quietly retreated to the corner, and he was quite shocked by the news. A good show of snakes swallowing elephants is really going to be staged, but I don't know Wolfgang. What will Porsche do.

But his thinking didn't last long, Wolfgang. Porsche is here in Hans. Schroeder appeared in front of him in the company, and the appearance of these two people immediately discouraged Sloane, who originally wanted to get close to Zhongshi again, and could only stand not far away and look at these three people strangely.

"I'm sorry you were subjected to some unnecessary harassment just now." Wolfgang stretched out his right hand with a sincere apology on his face, "I promise that during your stay, something like this will never happen again." (To be continued......)
