Chapter 1349 The Lesson of Twelve Digits

   A few days after the case of Hualco's failed investment in Rio Tinto ended, and public opinion has not yet completely subsided, a breaking news once again attracted the attention of the public.

   Four employees of Rio Tinto Magic Capital Company were kidnapped by local arrests and suspected to be involved in a commercial case.

The leading Rio Tinto employee is named Gu Shitai. He was born in China. He was admitted to Beijing University at the age of 16 with the halo of a young genius. Later, he was selected to study in Kangaroo Country. Is joined the Kangaroo Nationality and Rio Tinto Group.

   At the beginning of the century, Gu Shitai changed his body and returned to China as a returned Chinese, and served as the chief commercial representative of Rio Tinto in Modu.

  Gu Shitai is not well-known in other industries, but he is a man of influence in the steel industry. He is not only the God of Wealth, but also the boy who scattered wealth, and he is the object of countless domestic steel entrepreneurs who need to curry favor.

   Its "prestigious" level is not inferior to that of many compradors of the old era.

   Now that Gu Shitai is in prison, many people feel anxious, and there is a feeling that a storm is coming.

  Chen Hong took this news and walked into Xia Jingxing's office in Jin Mao Building.

   As soon as he entered the room, he hurriedly said, "Jing Xing, have you heard? The iron and steel industry is about to change!"

  Xia Jingxing nodded solemnly, he also heard the news that Gu Shitai, a scum, was kidnapped.

"It's long overdue! Although I'm not in the steel industry, I've also heard of Gu Shitai's actions. He wears Rio Tinto's signboard, bears the character of a patriotic Chinese, and makes friends in the steel industry. Obtaining the core operating data of various iron and steel enterprises in the interleaving of Gongchao has made a great contribution to Rio Tinto's ore price increase in recent years."

  Chen Hong nodded slightly, "Within two years after joining the WTO, China has developed into the world's largest steel producer and consumer, occupying an absolute share of iron ore transactions.

  We hold market share, and it stands to reason that we should have a certain say in iron ore transaction negotiations.

   But the reality is that, as the world's largest iron ore buyer, we have repeatedly fallen into the disadvantaged in the negotiation game with iron ore manufacturers.

Let’s just talk about last year. Against the background of the global financial crisis, Rio Tinto not only did not reduce the price of ore, but also directly increased the price of iron ore fines and ore nuggets by 79.88% and 96.5% respectively, a record. new highs.

  These transactions are so humiliating, that’s why Hualu is so eager to take a stake in Rio Tinto, and at the same time, the national level also supports this, and does its best to coordinate the loans of various banks. "

  Xia Jingxing sneered and said, "What can be done? Not only is the iron and steel company a mess of sand, but even the color of the **** has been figured out by other people's meticulous business work. If you can negotiate well, there will be ghosts."

  Chen Hong nodded slightly, "Now there is some news that Gu Shitai took advantage of his position to disintegrate and disintegrate our steel industry alliance, and at the same time, he also obtained some core operating data of steel companies by means.

   Therefore, Rio Tinto can see through China's trump card every time it negotiates, and at the same time, it also knows how to take advantage of the disunity between Chinese-funded steel companies to achieve breakthroughs.

   It is said that in the past six years, Gu Shitai has made us spend more than this amount. "

  Chen Hong used a gesture to compare a number "seven" and emphasized: "Twelve digits! It is equivalent to 10% of the GDP of Kangaroo Country last year."

  Xia Jingxing scratched the back of his head and said with emotion: "It has already happened, it is a foregone conclusion! We don't need to worry about it, someone will take care of it."

   "I know it has nothing to do with us! But unfortunately, the investment in Rio Tinto failed."

   "What if it succeeds? The mine is not on other people's land. It's easy to play tricks with you, such as introducing a plan to adjust the tax rate. Workers demand higher salaries, or they will go on strike."

  Chen Hong sighed, "Yeah, it's difficult! It's really difficult!"

  Xia Jingxing said indifferently: "This incident should have completely sounded the alarm for many people, how important it is to control the upstream of the industrial chain and the supply of raw materials, this is an important lifeline.

   In the future, there will be more insightful people looking for Envision Securities, and let us help them go overseas to complete mergers and acquisitions.

  We are just a businessman, all we can do is to help them go out successfully, and in this way, make a small contribution to the revival of the country. "

  Chen Hong nodded and said, "When Chinese capital grows up, it is inevitable to go overseas.

   However, overseas is not a good place. Chinese capital has no place to appeal for grievances. It is trapped everywhere, and people set up cards everywhere.

   But in order to expand the living space, he had to go to sea.

If you don’t go out, it means handing over the market to others. This is similar to closing the country hundreds of years ago. If you don’t go out, the land you choose and the country that sits on the minecart will belong to others, and future generations are still suffering and suffering. "Debt repayment", the consequences are endless!

Let’s just say that Africa is a broken place. The foundation of aid was laid decades ago. In recent years, there have been more Chinese capital in the past, but the energy and mining industries that make a lot of money are still tightly controlled by Western capital. Chinese capital In the past, I could only do some hard work that others looked down on and made money slowly.

Although    Gallic chickens no longer directly colonize the land, they still secretly control the economic lifeline of many African countries through international trade, monetary policy and aid (debt).

   Although the earth is big, it has already been divided up. Even if we want to do some business honestly, others will not allow it.

   In the Western dictionary, if you have too many people, you deserve to be poor, and you shouldn’t live a good life. If you live a little better, it will challenge the international order and destroy the regional balance. "

   Speaking of this, Chen Hong is also full of emotion. It is too difficult for Chinese-funded companies to grow overseas because there are too many hidden obstacles.

The story of   Hua Lu is just a microcosm, there are too many stories of head-breaking blood.

   "If Envision Securities can build a safe bridge to go overseas, it can provide financial advisory support for overseas companies. In addition, Chinese Bank and Envision Capital can also provide equity financing and debt financing for some companies. Support.

   These are our advantages, we must make good use of them to help those companies that are really going to expand their territory, not bad people who transfer assets. "

  Xia Jingxing said with a smile: "I know this. In fact, the fate of Envision Financial Holdings is firmly tied to the fate of China's industrial capital. Their development height will determine the development height of Vision Financial Holdings."

   "Oh, by the way, speaking of going to sea, a new customer came to our door today."

  Xia Jingxing suddenly became interested and asked, "Who came to the door?"

   "Weichai Power in Lu Province, they took a fancy to Ferretti, the oldest luxury yacht manufacturer in Italy.

  Ferretti was in debt due to the financial crisis, and shareholders were eager to sell the company.

  Weichai Power wants to use its internationally renowned brand and perfect sales channels to better develop the company's heavy-duty engine business after acquiring Ferretti.

   They probably heard about Hualu, so they asked someone to find me, hoping we could help.

   They don’t understand the overseas market and have never built yachts, so they are a little worried that they will step on the pit. "

  Xia Jingxing laughed, "Then can we do it? We haven't done business in Europe, have we?"

  Chen Hong shrugged, "Try it, you always have to take the first step to know the follow-up result."

  Xia Jingxing nodded with a smile, "Then try it, I can't screw it up again this time."

   "Please explain to Wu Jianmin, he will arrive in the magic capital soon, and I should officially hand over the shift."

  Chen Hong has officially completed his last job, turning bad news into good news, bringing Envision Securities' overseas M&A business into the domestic market, and at the same time leaving a deep impression on Chinese entrepreneurs.

   No, didn't Weichai Power come to you?

  Xia Jingxing smiled, "Weichai Power's acquisition of Ferretti, let Hanergy Investment join in."

  Chen Hong waved his hands again and again, "Forget it, Hanergy doesn't have the conditions to carry out overseas mergers and acquisitions for the time being."

   "As you said, in everything you have to take the first step to know the outcome.

   Isn't your dream to build a real investment bank with world influence?

   We can realize this dream together. The overseas M&A market is big enough to accommodate our two companies. "

  Chen Hong thought about it and didn't refuse, nodded and said, "Then I'll give it a try! Alas, even after resigning from Vision Financial Holdings, I can't escape the fate of being exploited by you. It seems that I'm working hard."

  Xia Jingxing laughed loudly, "Haha, be a model worker for a few more years, let me lie down with you and earn some money."

  Chen Hong smiled slightly, he knew that Xia Jingxing was taking special care of himself, because the "globalization, whole industry chain" layout of Envision Capital and Envision Financial Holdings was enough to build an invincible investment bank.

   Hanergy joins it, in fact, it belongs to the party that really makes money.

   But he won't be so wasteful, at least he will work hard to dig projects in China, and then send them overseas to cooperate with Envision Securities to complete the **** mission.

   This is the correct way to start cooperation. One party exerts its power at home, and the other party exerts its influence overseas. Everyone divides labor and cooperates to make progress and development together.
