Chapter 1851: Two Younger Sisters
Looking back on the time after the rebirth, a long time has passed unconsciously, from 1983 to the ground, more than ten years have passed now.
In the first few years after he was born, he was in the midst of an economic crisis, and the market value of a large number of companies plummeted, lower than the level they should have, and he was limited by the economic situation and had full development potential.
The real change should come after entering Brown University, although he missed the era of rapid expansion of Microsoft, Intel, Oracle, IBM and other companies, but Han Xuan did not miss the mighty wave of Internet industry development, which brought him a lot of wealth, especially cash flow wealth, which laid the foundation for his expansion.
The short period of development seems a bit unbelievable, but it does happen, because with enough funds and connections, coupled with the "investment vision" that surpasses others, the rise speed is amazing!
Family, career, love and other things that others desire Han Xuan has, while being satisfied with life, it is inevitable that he will feel bored after a long time, Han Xuan did not participate in the 2000 Sydney Olympics, many people are disappointed, and the external statement is that he is not old enough, but those who know the inside story understand that it is actually Han Xuan himself who refused.
In the new century, except for the change in the number of the display years, everything else seems to be the same as before, people's memories are more complicated than imagined, and many people still remember the tragedy of that night at the beginning of the century, but the feelings are not so strong, and the hatred still remains in people's hearts, and the days are still going on.
Due to the continuous turmoil, the hawks had an opportunity to take advantage of it, and during the presidential election, Bush Jr. emerged, constantly narrowed the gap with Vice President Mr. Gore, and finally turned the tables in the surprised eyes of the people and officially entered the White House.
The era of Clinton has passed quietly, the power of the Bush dynasty has been further enhanced, a bill was signed shortly after taking office, the army is finally no longer quiet, and when the rainstorm is coming, it is also a good time for many people to get rich.
Not much, but more than $20 billion, to pocket Disney, and the rest of the money will be invested in Canada's Bombardier Group for the development of wide-body large passenger aircraft and high-speed rail.
Quietly, human society has changed, the wireless network has officially faced the world, the network speed has also been greatly improved, the original monotonous and boring Internet, suddenly became wonderful, all kinds of high-end electronic products, but also into thousands of households, but unfortunately fell into the bottleneck of development, the span is not too big.
There is Moore's Law in technology products, and the world seems to be caught in a certain law, if it is simply divided, it is about a leap forward in ten years, and all kinds of novelty items emerge in an endless stream, and the world has never been as wonderful as this era.
It is not surprising to say, for example, machine tools, when there are low-end machine tools, you can slowly make more high-end machine tools, and each time after accumulation, you will research more advanced things.
The so-called "721 rule" refers to a super company that will occupy 70% of the market, the second will occupy about 20% of the share, and the remaining 10% will be eaten by a few small companies.
Free competition will lead to the relative concentration of production, when the concentration of production develops to a certain stage, under the effect of capital, an industry monopoly will be formed, a super company has a bit of status, but not too much, but there are ten, twenty such companies, it seems very scary, he has been developing quite smoothly recently.
There are many well-known developments in the Internet industry, such as "Seesaw Law", "Free Law", "250 Law", "Davido's Law" and so on.
Take the seesaw law as an example, after the outbreak of the Internet crisis, after a round of baptism for two or three years, the remaining Internet companies have developed rapidly.
At the end of 2001, the Nasdaq index fell to more than 1,700 points, a total of almost two-thirds of the decline, Han Xuan began to buy back shares after the index fell below 2,000 points, take O as an example, at the lowest time he only held 34 percent of the shares, relying on the same share of different rights to grasp the controlling stake, and now he holds 71 percent of the shares, Destiny, Gossip and other companies are the same.
Many investors held their breath, because they bought it back at a high price, but sold it at a low price, and saw that after Han Xuan repurchased these shares, the stock price fell again, and expressed his gratitude, after all, it is not easy for Internet stocks to find a receiver in recent years, but recently there seems to be a trend of recovery, because some high-quality Internet companies have begun to make profits, showing good market prospects......
Mr. Han has been working for a long time, perhaps because he was too tired, and he had a serious illness at the beginning of 2002, saying that it is not big, saying that it is not small, there are stones in the kidney, and he stopped working and recuperating for a few months, and lived in the Snow Mountain Ranch.
Dawson's secretary's daughter unconsciously learned to speak, Jason also gave birth to a child, it was a boy, the next year his wife became pregnant again, and gave birth to another boy, which disappointed Jason, in fact, he had always wanted a daughter beforehand, the prodigal Gabriel was disciplined very well by Dawson's secretary's sister Miss Alexis, probably because he didn't have so much energy when he was older, he married her at the age of forty, and was hurrying to prepare for pregnancy, Han Xuan became their best man.
What's more, Secretary Shen Yutong didn't come back, and Olivia still stayed with Han Xuan to work after graduating from university, which did not affect her to start her own business, invested in a studio specializing in designing wedding dresses, and usually let professional managers help manage it.
She is not the only one who works for Han Xuan, but has her own company, George and Jason, Owen, and Gabriel, they also partnered to invest in a medium-sized casino, located on the beach in Dubai, except for a large luxury casino invested by Han Xuan and the Dubai royal family, only they are a legal small casino, which is enough to make enough money for retirement.
Located in Manhattan, the Han's Spiral Building has long been put into use, the name of the tallest building did not last long, and it was built in 2004 by the Burj Khalifa to take the title of "the world's tallest building", fortunately, Han Xuan holds 49% of its shares, which is also one of the industries of the Han family.
At first, people thought that it was a wrong decision for him to invest in Dubai, but the fact was that many people were slapped in the face, and it really developed, and the most profitable was the real estate industry, where Snow Mountain Real Estate and Donald's company made a lot of money.
Assets can be said to be blooming everywhere, expanding from the United States to the world, and the business is gradually ushering in a second spring, because the value of the Internet bubble loss began to rise, approaching a trillion dollars again, this time the asset structure is obviously healthier, as long as the existing order of human society does not collapse, people can hardly see the possibility of bankruptcy of the Han family, the debt ratio is only about 30 percent, and there is a steady stream of cash injection, how can there be no big crisis, and the name of the third consortium in the United States has been confirmed.
Worry about everything, just don't worry about money anymore, Han Xuan's grandfather Guo Muzhou has been busy for a few years, and now he has retreated into the background again, packaging and "selling" assets to Han Xuan, with tens of billions of dollars more in his name, and happily traveling around the world.
Han Xuan's grandmother is similar, after getting tired of it, she also asked a professional manager to help manage the Hoops Group, the company has been on the right track, a few years ago you need to look up to the French Moët Hennessy-Louis Vuitton Group, and now it is looking down, fame still needs to be precipitated, but the profit has exceeded it.
SOS convenience stores are still not listed, and the integrated transportation company is the first to go public, and now the market value is as high as more than 260 billion US dollars, which is really a bit scary, and the entire North American continent is occupied by it Most of the market, not to mention, the overseas business is also amazingly large.
Now only the world's top 500 companies, the Han family has a controlling stake of 14, more shares, in 2005 when the annual meeting, just worth more than 100 million executives, there are more than 100, every time the major news is revealed, the New York Stock Exchange has to tremble.
If the foundation is well laid, the building can be built high, Han Xuan's seemingly chaotic investment methods more than ten years ago are obviously disorganized, but now they have been analyzed by experts to find out the deep meaning, praising him for his amazing mind, if any professor of economics and business often mentions Han Xuan's name, it will be considered that he cannot keep up with the times, and even many organizations specializing in him have appeared.
For example, Han's Automobile Group, which was formed by the acquisition of Aston Martin and Maserati, occupied the second place in its peers in terms of turnover last year, successfully overpowering established companies such as GM and Chrysler, and only slightly lower than Japan's Toyota.
When it comes to cars, I have to say an interesting thing that happened to Han Xuan.
As early as the 90s, Han Xuan had the idea of acquiring the German Volkswagen Group, until now, because the lawsuit has not been successful, but what happened during the period is enough to make many investors unforgettable, and the public is like watching a play, paying attention to the development of the situation.
The reason for this is that in August 2000, when the thriving Han's Automobile Group suddenly announced that it was preparing to acquire Volkswagen of Germany and already held 42.7 percent of the shares.
Unlike other acquisitions, as long as there is news of the acquisition of any company, then the other company must be like a chicken blood, the market value is slowly rising, and the stock price does not rise by 30%, which is considered a flutter, and finally leads to the acquisition of sneaky and shell companies to negotiate.
This time, however, when the news broke that Han's Auto Group was preparing to buy Volkswagen, Volkswagen's share price ...... fell.
A group of investors who hold Volkswagen shares are collectively dumbfounded, and their hot little hearts seem to be drenched in ice water, wondering what is going on, which is obviously unreasonable.
Han's Automobile Group has developed rapidly, it is a new enterprise with a heritage, and at the same time has the vitality of a new company, coupled with perfect after-sales service, every time it launches a product, it is not wanted, and it took a few years to gain a firm foothold in the market.
Volkswagen's stock price fell unreasonably, of course they would not be stupid enough to help Han Xuan, depress the stock price for him to buy, the real reason for the decline is because the major European hedge funds are shorting Volkswagen's shares!
It is almost impossible for the guys who have the brains to run a hedge fund to be fools, and they certainly know that if the takeover is successful, the shares of the Volkswagen Group will surely rise.
If it is successful, the stock price of the acquired company is of course optimistic, but if the acquisition fails, the stock price of the acquired listed company will definitely fall.
Those hedge funds decided that the acquisition would not happen, so they dared to short it with impunity, and Volkswagen AG is not an ordinary company, as the name suggests, it is really a "Volkswagen" company.
As early as during World War II, Hitler had requisitioned this company to manufacture military supplies, which generated official shares, and after the war, in order to prevent this company from being acquired by foreign companies, the German government specially tailored a "Volkswagen Act" for Volkswagen.
According to the German "Company Act", as long as the shareholding of a company reaches 75%, even if the control of the company is obtained, but the "Volkswagen Act" stipulates that when the shares of Volkswagen Company are less than 20%, the voting rights are calculated according to the actual shareholding ratio, and when the shareholding ratio exceeds 20%, the voting rights will not be increased, unless the shares of Volkswagen Company are held more than 80%.
As for the reason for stipulating 80 percent, it is because the official controls 20.1 percent, which is 0.1 percent, so even if all the stocks on the market are looted, they will not obtain a controlling stake.
Twenty-one percent of the official shares, held by the state of Lower Saxony, where Volkswagen is located, are legally owned by taxpayers across the state, and if the shares are to be released, they must be put to a vote in the state legislature, and a referendum must be initiated.
Therefore, everyone knows very well that it is almost impossible for Han Xuan to take these official shares, even if he really takes them, the movement will be known to everyone, hedge funds have always been well-informed, and they must have known the news for a long time, and it is not too late to change the direction of the wind when the time comes.
When people found out that Han's Automobile Group really began to buy Volkswagen shares in the market, and there were quite a few of them, this made many hedge fund traders secretly happy, not only in Europe, but also in the United States, some hedge funds came to short Volkswagen shares.
Later, Han Xuan approached the EU and directly sued Germany's "Volkswagen Act", saying that it violated the "Fair Trade Act", and ruled that the "Volkswagen Act" was invalid a month later.
A bunch of hedge funds, just kneeling, Volkswagen's market value has risen, and they have lost a lot......
