Two days later, in Stuttgart, the Porsche family celebrated the reception.

In order to take care of foreign journalists, this time the reception was held at the Sheraton Hotel in the center of Stuttgart. The reason why they did not celebrate after the verdict was handed down was that the Porsche family naturally considered leaving time for the guests and journalists from all over the world to participate in this grand event.

When Zhong Shi and Jiang Shan walked into the venue, it was already crowded with people. In this baroque hall, at least 200 people poured in. In addition to the invited guests, there were also many reporters with voice recorders walking around, taking advantage of the fact that the banquet was not yet held.

"Mr. Zhong, don't you mind giving me a few minutes to make a simple visit?"

Just as Zhong Shi was about to chat with an acquaintance, a reporter quickly came out of the crowd, raised the voice recorder without saying a word, and leaned in front of Zhong Shi, "Let me introduce myself, I'm CNBC reporter Brown. Lennus. ”

"Of course I don't mind!" Zhong Shi glanced at the other party with a smile and said lightly, "I wonder what Mr. Lennas wants to ask?" ”

As for the Porsche family to maintain the openness of the cocktail party, Zhong Shi only thought about it a little and understood that the Porsche family was planning to take advantage of the situation. If nothing else, the Porsche family announces something at the reception.

When he thinks so, others will naturally think about it, which is why there are so many reporters.

"May I ask why you are in Stuttgart at this time?" Brown. Lennas went straight to the point, without the slightest politeness, "Is it that Tianyu Fund also participated in Porsche's acquisition of Volkswagen and gave financial support to the Porsche family?" Or is there some other reason? ”

"This ......," Zhong Shi looked at the other party deeply, and then replied loudly, "The reason why I am here at this meeting. It's because I accepted the invitation, and not for any other reason. I can tell you in all seriousness that X-Spatial has nothing to do with the current acquisition, and we are not interested in the business practices of both parties. ”

"Did Tianyu Fund make any moves in the capital market?" Brown. Leonus then asked, "Buying Volkswagen shares or selling Volkswagen shares, for example?" ”

"No comment!"

Without waiting for Zhong Shi to speak, Jiang Shan preemptively said. "Your question may involve our position situation, and it is impossible for us to disclose this information except for legal and regulatory requirements."

"It's okay!"

Zhong Shi waved his hand slightly, stopped Jiang Shan, and then said lightly, "Although your question is a little abrupt, I can also answer you." As with the answer just above, we are not involved in the Volkswagen takeover, nor do we make any moves against the two companies in the capital markets. And I can guarantee it. Until the completion of the acquisitions of the two companies, Tianyu Fund will not be involved. We have always had good cooperation with the German consortium, and there is no need to spoil this friendly relationship. ”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhong, please forgive me for being presumptuous." Brown. After Leonas said "I'm sorry" lightly, he continued to ask, "Since Tianyu Fund is not involved in the acquisition or other markets, the purpose of Mr. Zhong's attendance at the reception this time?" And also. What is your assessment of the recent illegality of the Popular Law by the European Court of Justice? ”

"That's a lot to talk about!" Jiang Shan glanced at the other party hatefully, and muttered dissatisfiedly.

"I'm here this time. It's all because of the friendly relationship with the Porsche family! Zhong Shi didn't seem to hear Jiang Shan's muttering, and still replied with a smile on his face, "I personally prefer the Porsche brand." I was deeply attracted by the taste and quality of their products. I came purely to visit a friend in a private capacity. I have no opinion on the judgment of the European Court of Justice. After all, I don't know much about legal affairs. ”

"In view of the current acquisition of Porsche AG and Volkswagen, I don't know what Mr. Zhong, as a top financier, thinks?" Brown. Lennus's questions seemed endless, one after the other," or rather. What advice does Mr. Chung have for those who want to make a profit in the acquisition? ”

"Haha, I don't have any advice to give!" Zhong Shi smiled slightly, "I think no matter what, they have their own reasons for doing this. Personally, I don't evaluate the investment behavior of my peers, the market will give them a fair evaluation, and I haven't heard of any hedge fund that can make a sports car. If you're okay, I'm leaving. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhong Shi gently pushed the other party away, and strode towards the venue with Jiang Shan, leaving Brown. Lennas was there in a daze.

"Hello, my distinguished friend!"

Schwartz. Porsche had seen Zhong Shi a long time ago, but Zhong Shi had been being interviewed over there, so he didn't want to come forward to say hello, and finally when Zhong Shi was free, he strode up and gave Zhong Shi a big hug, "Your arrival is very welcome, my father has been waiting in the background for a long time." ”

"Isn't Wolfgang going to be present at this time?" Zhong Shi was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly, "Didn't he announce the news?" ”

"No, no, no!" Schwartz's face was excited, and he couldn't hide the joy in his heart at all, "This time it's not up to him to announce, I'll announce it." ”

"You?"

Zhong Shi looked Schwartz up and down, this tall young man was only thirty years old this year, although he looked mature and sophisticated, but that was only the appearance, in fact he was still a big boy, and it could be seen from the excited expression at the moment. Zhong Shi's mind was like a lightning flash, and he only understood the joints in a moment. smiled slightly, nodded to Schwartz, and walked to the rest room backstage with Jiang Shan.

……

"Who's this strange Asian face?"

In the conference room on the top floor of Volkswagen, a group of directors are sitting around an oval conference table, watching ZDF live broadcast of the Porsche family reception. The camera was focused on an executive from an American automaker when he caught Schwartz. Porsche hugging Bellstone. Ferdinand. Piëch's heart moved, and he immediately asked the others.

Despite his fame in the financial world, Jongshi was nothing more than an inconsequential figure in the automotive industry. So after Piëch's words were asked, there was only silence in the room.

"This shouldn't be a big deal!" Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward. One of the directors coughed lightly and said, "Based on my experience of looking at Asian faces, this guy should be very young." Most likely Schwartz. An Asian friend of Porsche, or their spokesperson for Asia. ”

"Nope! No! No! Piëch shook his head violently, "You may not know. But I'm well aware. The Porsche family has always been arrogant and would never be so polite to a friend or spokesperson. Did you notice that the Asian face looked very indifferent, but Schwartz had a flattering look on his face, which shows that the two are not equal. If my guess is correct, this Asian face should have a big background. ”

The other directors were unimpressed, but no one spoke up. After Porsche's strong announcement of the acquisition, some of these people began to waver, especially when the European Court of Justice invalidated the Popular Law. This swing has reached its peak, and some people are already counting down Piëch.

"Found it!"

While everyone was still watching the live broadcast of the Porsche family reception, Piëch's secretary pushed the door in, holding a thin document in his hand, "Zhong Shi, from Hong Kong, is the top invisible rich, and his net worth is said to be more than 50 billion US dollars." The assets controlled could exceed $100 billion, or even more. ”

Piëch was stunned. stood up suddenly, took the document in the secretary's hand, just glanced at the content cursoryly, and immediately turned gray, the corners of his mouth twitched, and the whole person seemed to have been drained of his spirit. There is no confidence in the posture just now.

"What's going on?"

Suddenly, such a question came to the minds of the directors. As the files passed back and forth, it didn't take long for the answer to come in. Sure enough, as Piëch had predicted, the Asian face was not a spokesperson or friend at all, but a genuine super-rich man.

If it was the tycoon who was behind the Porsche family and supported their acquisition, or if he was in the buying war. Then for Porsche, it is undoubtedly a tiger with wings. On the Volkswagen side, it is a big disadvantage.

"Maybe he didn't come because of the acquisition, maybe something else." One of the directors whispered, but judging by his volume, I am afraid that he himself did not believe it.

"It's impossible!" Piëch reluctantly waved his hand to stop the crowd from continuing to dwell on the topic, "If it weren't for the opportunity to make a profit, this rich man would never have appeared at this time." But we don't have to worry, the state government still has strong support for us. It's just that now we need more financial assistance. ”

For this anti-takeover, Piëch has already tried his best. In accordance with the German securities takeover law, Piëch has sent a large number of Volkswagen's union representatives to the Guild and Supervisory Board of Porsche AG in the hope of convincing the local association to stop the takeover.

At the same time, Piëch, through the government of Lower Saxony, got in touch with the chancellor. Because the Volkswagen Act violated monopoly agreements, he and parliamentarians began to work on a new Volkswagen Act before the unfair clause in the law was repealed by the European Court of Justice, including a provision that in order to enjoy exclusivity, a 75% shareholding ratio must be achieved, which is consistent with the current German Securities Act.

Naturally, this clause was undoubtedly supported by the state government and the German government.

So far, Porsche's share has remained at 42.6 percent, which is a long time since it has increased its holdings. But Piëch knew very well that the Porsche family would not stop there. Although there may be liquidity problems, the emergence of a super-rich person may be here to give cash, presumably in the near future, the Porsche family may continue to increase their holdings in the market.

In fact, more than a month ago, Porsche AG announced that it had applied for a 12 billion euro credit facility from Deutsche Bank, which caused a stir in the market. It was thought that Porsche AG would buy Volkswagen's shares in the market, but more than a month later, their holdings remained unchanged, and people's hearts gradually fell to the ground, realizing that the funds could be a relief for Porsche's internal liquidity. After all, with the acquisition of such a large number of Volkswagen shares, Porsche AG may have some difficulties in liquidity.

But at this time, if one or two billion euros are involved, the whole situation may be shockingly reversed.

"I need to talk to this gentleman!"

Piëch was silent for a long time, and finally made up his mind, "I don't care what you do, I'm going to have a good talk with this gentleman in the near future." ”

This time Piëch was really panicked. (To be continued......)
