PS: Look at the exclusive story behind "The Financial Son of the Great Era", listen to more of your suggestions for the novel, pay attention to the starting point Chinese network public account (WeChat add friends - add public account - enter ddxiaoshuo), quietly tell me!

The person behind Gao Dongfang is a rising star who was just promoted to Yanjing last year, and he has not been in power for a long time, his foundation is not solid, and his prestige has not yet been established, so he is still in the stage of latent accumulation and obscurity. The forces behind Zhang Hang have been entrenched in Yanjing for many years, and have formed a wealthy and powerful interest group with intricate roots. Against this background, once the so-called "Gao Zhang" dispute becomes public, the faces of both sides will be torn, and this is definitely not what the Gao Dongfang side wants to see.

In this case, Gao Dongfang had to endure and temporarily chose to back down, and the way to back down was that the other party was also involved in part of the investment business. Gao Dongfang also had some careful thoughts on this matter, the current world financial market is turbulent, and the team led by him was scolded for two failed transactions, and at this time, dividing a part of the force can just reduce the pressure on them.

As for the quality of the final results, that's another matter, you only need to use a little bit of publicity to do it, where do laymen know the real situation?

After the two sides were set to act separately, Zhang Hang, who was eager to take the position, had no reason to refuse, in fact, he did agree straightforwardly. Even the final condition was to cut off Gao Dongfang's attempt to covet the "two-room" assets. As for the loss, he didn't think about it at all.

Zhang Hang is an extremely confident person, so confident that he is even a little conceited, so as long as it is something he believes, it is basically difficult for outsiders to persuade him to change his mind. So after the meeting, he immediately asked the logistics department to book a plane ticket to New York. He has to personally inspect it, and then decide whether to buy the "two-house" assets as quickly as possible.

Looking at Zhang Hang's back as he left in a hurry, a faint smile rose at the corner of Gao Dongfang's mouth, which was fleeting. Then he grabbed the phone and dialed a Hong Kong number.

……

"What's this invitation card?"

After returning to Hong Kong, Zhong Shi rested for a week before starting to return to work. And his first day on the job. I received an invitation card.

Different from the ordinary invitation card, this blackened invitation card was personally delivered by the general manager of the Hong Kong Porsche general agency, except for the delivery card, the general manager only repeatedly said that he must invite Mr. Zhong to attend at the time, and refused to disclose other details.

Later, Zhong Shi learned that it was not that the manager didn't want to reveal more, but that he himself didn't know more. In other words, the general manager of Porsche's Hong Kong distributor only acted as a postman during the visit.

Bell Stone is a big fan of Porsche sports cars. Since his beginning, his garage has been full of luxury cars, most of which are Porsches. It didn't take long for Porsche Hong Kong to list Zhong Shi as a top VIP, and he warmly invited Zhong Shi to test drive each new car, and sometimes even invited Zhong Shi to visit the headquarters in Germany.

For such a young and wealthy man who loves sports cars, there is no luxury car manufacturer in the world who does not bother to woo him. In fact, Zhongshi receives a large number of invitations from car manufacturers all over the world every year. But he didn't show up once. In addition to the reluctance to show up, not wanting to be used by them to promote yourself is also an important factor.

But this time the invitation card is different from the past. Neither to attend an event, nor to test drive a new car, but a birthday party invitation card. What struck Zhong Shi the most strange thing was that the birthday party was not held in Hong Kong, or even in Asia, but in distant Germany. Stuttgart.

Porsche's headquarters, Wolfgang. Porsche's 65th birthday, on May 10.

Aside from being Porsche's chief buyer in Hong Kong, Chung Shi has had little to do with the automaker, not even holding a stake in their shares. So at this time Wolfgang. Porsche's behavior of inviting Zhong Shi is particularly bizarre.

"Has there been anything unusual in the German capital market lately?"

Calling a European market analyst, Zhong Shi asked unhurriedly. He took the invitation card and tapped it lightly on his thigh, seemingly careless, but in fact he decided that there must be an article behind this matter.

The invitation card was accompanied by two first-class tickets to and from Germany, plus a five-star hotel entry card. Zhong Shi didn't know how the other party arranged it, but seeing such a posture, Zhong Shi was sure that there would not be too many people in the world who could receive such an invitation card.

"German capital markets?" The analyst named Gao Han frowned and thought about it, not understanding which side Zhong Shi was going to ask, but when his eyes fell on the invitation card in Zhong Shi's hand, the eye-catching Porsche logo made his eyes light up, and he replied with a smile, "Zhong Sheng, are you asking about Porsche?" In March last year, Porsche acquired a 3.6% stake in Volkswagen, and now holds a total of 30.9% of Volkswagen's shares, which is officially the management of Volkswagen, which is the most important investment disclosed by Porsche recently. ”

Gao Han is tall and thin, with an ordinary appearance, and belongs to the kind that is unrecognizable when thrown into the crowd. The guy is fluent in German, has a doctorate in mechanics and graduated from the University of Munich in Germany. Prior to his career at X-Spatial Fund, he worked as an engineer for a large machinery company in Germany. Since joining X-Spatial Foundation, he has been responsible for research on the machinery industry in Germany and throughout Europe, and has occasionally made guest appearances in the quantification group, as he has a bachelor's degree in mathematics. Unlike other analysts, Gao Han has a bookish anger in him, which makes him more of a scholar than an analyst.

"Disclosure?" Zhong Shi's hand slapping his thigh immediately stopped, and he keenly sensed that there was something else in Gao Han's words, "Is there any information that has not been disclosed?" ”

"Not bad!" Gao Han suddenly came to his senses and said eloquently, "I won't say much about the grievances between Volkswagen and Porsche." The Porsche family has always wanted to put Volkswagen back under their name, and after Wolfgang came to power, he hinted several times in public that he wanted to increase his stake in Volkswagen. So far. The Porsche Group did not disclose more information about the increase in holdings, but the market generally believes that a takeover and anti-takeover battle may break out between Porsche and Volkswagen. In this anticipation, it's hard to believe that Porsche won't be doing something behind the scenes. ”

After finishing speaking, Gao Han still had an excited look on his face. For analysts who specialize in German capital markets, there's nothing more exciting than a merger and acquisition of super-weighted stocks. In the midst of this commercial war of takeovers and anti-takeovers. The stock prices of both sides can go up and down like a roller coaster, and if done correctly, it is definitely possible to make a lot of money.

The subprime bond crisis in the United States, which occurred during this time, has spread to Germany, and in February this year, the German state banks fell into the subprime mortgage crisis, which caused the whole of Europe to start a rumor. In this context, the European Central Bank, including Germany, has injected liquidity into the market several times, and the heads of finance and central banks of various countries have held frequent meetings to discuss the possibility of interest rate cuts in the eurozone. Although injected with various positives. However, the economic growth rate of the eurozone has slowed significantly, and the performance of the capital market is naturally not much better.

Therefore, in the past year, the return rate of Tianyu Fund's investment in European funds has also decreased significantly, which makes them significantly inferior in the competition with funds in Asia, South America and other regions. In this case, they urgently need a major change in the market to change the current situation.

"What kind of personality is Wolfgang?"

After listening to Gao Han's analysis, Zhong Shi pondered for a moment, carefully considered what the other party said, and suddenly asked.

"Wolfgang?" Gao Han lowered his head and thought about it. His face became solemn, "As the helmsman of this Porsche family." Although Wolfgang has been working for Porsche for a long time, there is very little information about him, so it is difficult for the outside world to know his true character. He is neither a designer nor an engineer, so it is difficult to analyze anything from his work. However, according to previous reports in the German media, this man is good at trading. He is a management talent who can quickly open up the situation and settle all parties in a complex and cumbersome situation. As for his own character, some say he is wise and witty, others say calm and sharp. Some people also say that it is deeply hidden, and the city is very deep. But what exactly is, there is no conclusion from the time he took the helm of Porsche to the present. ”

"If you don't bear it, your plan will be big!" Zhong Shi's face finally became stern and he began to seriously consider if he participated in Wolfgang. The possible reaction to Porsche's birthday party.

Wealth has reached the level of Zhong Shi, even if he keeps a low profile, there are still countless people watching his every move. And after the lawsuit in the United States, his exposure has reached an unprecedented peak. So now he has to be extra careful when he travels, because there may be reporters and commercial spies lurking around him at any time.

With Zhong Shi's current status and status, it is not surprising that he can participate in any business meeting, he has the capital and strength to participate. But it is precisely participating in business activities, if it appears in him as a fund manager, it will be particularly strange, because in general, Tianyu Fund is involved in the financial industry, not the real industry. And if Bell Stone appears at Wolfgang's birthday party, there are only two possibilities: first, Bell Stone is a shareholder of Porsche; The second is that Zhong Shi and the Porsche family discussed cooperation.

Either way, there must be huge benefits behind it.

Zhong Shi did not know Wolfgang. Why did Porsche invite him, but he can be sure that his appearance will be a huge positive news for Wolfgang's side. In this case, he naturally had to think twice before deciding whether to attend the other party's birthday party.

"Boss, this trip to the United States is really dangerous, you must know that you are one of the few people who can get away with the SEC's charges!" Seeing that there was nothing to say, Gao Han took the initiative to say, "That guy Huang Jiahao is really hateful, he is actually a commercial spy sent into us by others, fortunately we found out about him early, otherwise we would be really in trouble." ”

Huang Jiahao, the analyst who was painstakingly stuffed into Tianyu Fund by Quantum Fund, was sent to prison by Land Rover after being identified. After this incident broke out, Tianyu Fund carried out some internal rectification, and the risk control mechanism was also improved accordingly.

"Yes......" Zhong Shi replied nonchalantly, and suddenly his heart moved, since the other party can set a trap for himself, then why can't he set a trap for the other party, isn't there a good opportunity now?

Waving his hand to stop Gao Han from continuing, Zhong Shi's head began to spin rapidly, and a huge plan gradually formed in his mind, if all of them were carried out according to this plan, maybe it would be a heavy blow to those who tried to frame him.

But Zhong Shi soon discovered that he could not fully promote this initial plan alone, and he also needed the cooperation of other forces. But the question is, will anyone else be willing to cooperate with him?

In this case, Zhong Shi had no choice but to go to Germany in person and try this Wolfgang. Mr. Porsche's real thoughts are the only ones that can make the next decision.

"What is Porsche's total share capital, what is the current market capitalization?" As soon as he made up his mind, Zhong Shi began to conduct a detailed investigation, "What about Volkswagen's share capital, options, and market capitalization?" Also, the annual sales, net profit, recent management news, cash reserves, liabilities, etc., I need you to give me a detailed report as much as possible. ”

"Boss, what do you want to do?"

Gao Han was dumbfounded.

Volkswagen has a 17% weight in the DAX index, which makes Volkswagen a pivotal position in the entire German capital market. Volkswagen has a total share capital of about 300 million yuan, and the current price is around 100 euros. Among the shareholders, the German state government of Saxony holds about 20% of the shares, which are basically non-tradable shares. The other 80% of the shares are circulating in the market. Of this 80 percent, Porsche AG currently holds 30.9 percent.

As for Porsche, their current market value is around 12 billion euros, which is far from being able to compete with a behemoth like Volkswagen in terms of sales scale and market value. And after hearing Zhong Shi's words, Gao Han realized that his boss might have to intervene in the grievance between the two, how could this not surprise him?

Gao Han didn't know what Zhong Shi wanted to do, but he knew very well that his boss would definitely not plan to buy these two companies.
