The Son of Finance of the Great Age

  Chapter 582 sets up a situation for Soros

  The person behind Gao Dongfang is a rising political star who was just promoted to Yanjing last year. He has not been in office for a long time, his foundation is not solid, and his prestige has not yet been established. However, the forces behind Zhang Hang have been entrenched in Yanjing for many years, and have formed a powerful and intricate interest group. In this context, once the so-called "Gao Zhang" dispute becomes public, the faces of both sides will be torn apart. This is definitely not what Gao Dongfang wants to see.

  Under such circumstances, Gao Dongfang had no choice but to forbear, and temporarily chose to give in. The way to give in was that the other party also got involved in part of the investment business. Gao Dongfang also has some careful thoughts on this matter. The world financial market is currently in turmoil. The team headed by him has been scolded **** for two failed transactions. body pressure.

   As for the quality of the final results, that is another matter. It only needs to be manipulated a little in the publicity. How can a layman know the real situation?

  After setting out the conditions for the two parties to act separately, Zhang Hang, who was eager to take over the position, had no reason to refuse. In fact, he did agree straightforwardly. Even the final condition was to stop Gao Dongfang's attempt to covet the assets of the "two rooms". As for the loss, he never thought 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. Therefore, after the meeting ended, he asked the logistics department to book a plane ticket to New York non-stop. He had to go and investigate in person, and then decide whether to purchase the assets of "F&F" as quickly as possible.

  Looking at the back of Zhang Hang leaving in a hurry, Gao Dongfang smiled imperceptibly from the corner of his mouth, which was fleeting. Then he grabbed the phone and dialed a number in Hong Kong.

  …

   "What is this invitation card?"

  Back to Hong Kong, Zhong Shi rested for a week before returning to work. And on his first day at work, he received an invitation card.

Different from ordinary invitation cards, this black invitation card was delivered by the general manager of Hong Kong Porsche General Agency in person. In addition to delivering the card, the general manager just repeatedly said that Mr. Zhong must be invited to come. If I attend at that time, I will not disclose any other details.

   Later, Zhong Shi found out that it wasn't that the manager didn't want to reveal more, but that he himself didn't know more. In other words, the general manager of the Porsche Hong Kong general agency only acted as a postman during this visit.

  Zhong Shi is a loyal fan of Porsche sports cars. Since his fortune, his garage has been filled with luxury cars, most of which are various Porsches. Not long after, Porsche Hong Kong Company listed Zhong Shi as a top VIP. Every time a new car was released, Zhong Shi was enthusiastically invited to test drive, and sometimes even invited Zhong Shi to visit the German headquarters.

   For such a young top rich man who loves sports cars, there is no luxury car manufacturer in the world that does not try hard to win him over. In fact, Zhong Shi received a lot of invitations from car manufacturers all over the world every year, but he never attended. In addition to not wanting to show up, not wanting to be promoted by them is also an important factor.

  But this time the invitation card is different from the previous ones. It is neither attending an event nor a new car test drive, but an invitation card for a birthday party. What surprised Zhong Shi the most was that the venue for the birthday party was not in Hong Kong, or even in Asia, but in faraway Germany, Stuttgart.

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

Apart from being the chief buyer of Porsche Hong Kong, Zhongshi has no further dealings with this car manufacturer, and he has never even held a single hand in their stocks. Therefore, at this time, the car tycoon Wolfgang Porsche invited Zhong Shi's behavior seemed extraordinarily weird.

   "Is there anything unusual about the German capital market recently?"

   Called a European market analyst, Zhong Shi asked unhurriedly. He held the invitation card and tapped it lightly on his thigh, seemingly carelessly, but in fact he decided that there must be something behind this matter.

   Along with the invitation card, there are two first-class air tickets to and from Germany, plus a room card for a five-star hotel. Zhong Shi didn't know how the other party arranged it, but seeing such a posture, Zhong Shi was sure that not many people in the world could receive such an invitation card.

"German capital market?" The analyst named Gao Han frowned and thought for a while, not knowing which aspect 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 His eyes lit up, and he replied with a smile, "Zhong Sheng, are you asking about Porsche? That's right. In March last year, Porsche acquired a 3.6% stake in Volkswagen. Now it holds a total The 30.9% stake is considered to have officially entered the management of Volkswagen, and this is the most important investment matter disclosed by Porsche recently."

   Gao Han is tall and thin, with an ordinary appearance, and belongs to the kind that cannot be recognized when thrown in the crowd. The guy is fluent in German and has a PhD in mechanics from the University of Munich in Germany. Before working in Tianyu Fund, he worked as an engineer in a large German machinery company. After coming to Tianyu Fund, he was responsible for the research of the machinery industry in Germany and the whole of Europe, and occasionally worked in the quantitative group because he has a bachelor's degree in mathematics. Unlike other analysts, Gao Han has a bookish air about him, which makes him more of a scholar than an analyst.

   "Disclosure?" Zhong Shi's hand patting his thigh stopped immediately, and he was keenly aware of other meanings in Gao Han's words, "Is there any information that has not been disclosed?"

"That's right!" Gao Han suddenly regained his spirits, and talked 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. Wall After Fugang took office, he hinted several times in public that he would increase his shareholding in Volkswagen. So far, the Porsche Group has not disclosed more information about the increase in its holdings, but the market generally believes that there may be a war between Porsche and Volkswagen. Takeovers and anti-takeover battles. Given the expectations, it's hard to believe that Porsche wouldn't do something in the dark."

   After finishing speaking, Gao Han still had a look of excitement on his face. For analysts who specialize in German capital markets, there is nothing more exciting than mergers and acquisitions of super heavyweights. In this kind of commercial battle between acquisitions and anti-acquisitions, the stock prices of both parties may go up and down like a roller coaster. If they are operated properly, they can definitely make a lot of money.

  The subprime bond crisis that occurred in the United States during this period has spread to Germany. In February of this year, the German State Bank fell into the subprime mortgage crisis, which made the whole of Europe start to panic. Under such circumstances, the European Central Bank, including Germany, has injected liquidity into the market several times, and the finance and central bank governors of various countries have held frequent meetings to discuss the possibility of interest rate cuts in the euro zone. Despite the injection of various benefits, the economic growth in the euro zone has slowed down significantly, and the performance of the capital market will naturally not be much better.

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

   "What kind of character is Wolfgang?"

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

"Wolfgang?" Gao Han lowered his head and thought for a while, his face became serious, "As the helm of the Porsche family this year, although Wolfgang has worked in Porsche for a long time, there are very few reports about him. , so it is difficult for the outside world to understand his true character. He is neither good at design nor engineer, so it is difficult to analyze anything from his works. However, according to previous German media reports, this person is good at trading, He is able to quickly open up the situation in complicated and cumbersome situations and balance all forces. He is a management talent. As for his personality, some say he is wise and humorous, some say calm and sharp, and some say he is deeply hidden and extremely deep. But what happened, from the time he was in charge of Porsche until now, there is no conclusion."

   "If you don't say anything, you will have big plans!" Zhong Shi's face finally became serious, and he began to seriously consider the possible reaction if he participated in Wolfgang Porsche's birthday party.

  The wealth has reached the level of Zhongshi, 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 reached an unprecedented peak. So now he must be extra careful when traveling, 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 attend any business meeting. He has the capital and strength to attend. However, it would be particularly strange for him to be involved in commercial activities, as a fund manager, because generally speaking, Tianyu Fund is involved in the financial industry, not the real industry. And if Zhongshi appears at Wolfgang's birthday party, there are only two possibilities: first, Zhongshi is a shareholder of Porsche; second, Zhongshi is discussing cooperation with the Porsche family.

  No matter which possibility is possible, there must be huge benefits behind it.

  Zhong Shi didn't know why Wolfgang Porsche invited him, but he was sure that his appearance would be great news for Wolfgang. Under such circumstances, 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 escape from the SEC's charges!" Damn it, it turned out to be a commercial spy sent by others into our interior, fortunately we saw him through early, otherwise we would be in real trouble."

  Huang Jiahao was the analyst who Quantum Fund tried his best to get into Tianyu Fund, and was sent to prison by Land Rover after being found out. After this incident broke out, Tianyu Fund carried out some internal rectification, and the risk control mechanism was improved accordingly.

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

Waving his hands to stop Gao Han from continuing, Zhong Shi's head began to turn rapidly, and a large-scale scheme gradually formed in his mind. If everything was implemented according to this scheme, it might give those who tried to frame him Heavy blow.

  But Zhong Shi soon discovered that he could not fully promote this preliminary strategy by himself, and needed the cooperation of other forces. But the question is, are others willing to cooperate with him?

  Under such circumstances, Zhong Shi had no choice but to go to Germany in person and try the real thoughts of this Mr. Wolfgang Porsche before he could make a decision on the next step.

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

   "Boss, what do you want to do?"

   Gao Han was dumbfounded.

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

   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. After hearing Zhong Shi's words, Gao Han realized that his boss might be involved in the grievances 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 definitely didn't intend to acquire these two companies.
