Chapter 669 The public panicked

  Two days later, in Stuttgart, a celebration reception for the Porsche family.

  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 didn't celebrate the verdict is that the Porsche family naturally considered leaving time for the guests and journalists from various countries to participate in this event together.

  When Zhong Shi and Jiang Shan entered the venue, it was already crowded with people. In this baroque architectural style hall, at least two hundred people poured in. In addition to the invited guests, there were also many reporters walking around with recording pens, conducting interviews before the banquet.

   "Mr. Zhong, do you mind giving me a few minutes for a simple interview?"

Just when Zhong Shi was serving wine and was about to chat with acquaintances, a reporter quickly got out from the crowd, raised the recorder without any explanation, and leaned in front of Zhong Shi, "Let me introduce myself, I am a reporter from CNBC. Brown Lenners."

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

   Regarding the openness of the reception held by the Porsche family, Zhong Shi only thought for a while and realized that the Porsche family was planning to take advantage of the situation. If nothing else, the Porsche family will announce something at the reception.

  If he thinks this way, others will naturally think of it, which is why there are so many reporters.

"May I ask why you appeared in Stuttgart at this time?" Brown Lenners went straight to the point without the slightest politeness, "Did Tianyu Fund also participate in the acquisition of Volkswagen by Porsche and give the Porsche family With financial support? Or is there some other reason?"

"This..." Zhong Shi took a deep look at the other party, and then replied loudly, "The reason why I attended this meeting was because I accepted the invitation, not for any other reason. I can tell you seriously, Tianyu Fund It has nothing to do with the current acquisition, and we are not interested in the business practices of both parties."

   "Has Tianyu Fund made any moves in the capital market?" Brown Lenners then asked, "For example, buying or selling Volkswagen shares?"

   "No comment on this one!"

   Without waiting for Zhong Shi to speak, Jiang Shan said first, "Your question may involve our holdings. Except for legal regulations, it is impossible for us to disclose this information."

   "It doesn't matter!"

Zhong Shi waved his hand slightly, stopped Jiang Shan, and then said lightly, "Although your question is a bit abrupt, I can also answer you. Same as the answer just now, we are neither involved in the case of participating in the acquisition of Volkswagen, nor There is no move against the two companies in the capital market. And I can guarantee that Tianyu Fund will not be involved until the acquisition of the two companies is over. We have always had good cooperation with the German consortium, and there is no need destroy this friendly relationship."

"Sorry, Mr. Zhong, please forgive my presumptuousness." Brown Lenners said "I'm sorry" lightly, and then continued to ask, "Since Tianyu Fund did not participate in the acquisition or other markets, then Mr. Zhong What is the purpose of attending this reception? Also, how do you comment on the European Court's recent ruling that the "Popular Law" is illegal?"

   "This guy talks a lot!" Jiang Shan glanced at the other party bitterly, and murmured in dissatisfaction.

"I came here this time because of the friendly relationship with the Porsche family!" Zhong Shi seemed to have not heard Jiang Shan's muttering, and replied with a smile on his face, "I personally like the Porsche brand. Their products Whether it is taste or quality, I am deeply attracted. I came here this time to visit friends in a private capacity. I don’t have any opinions on the judgment of the European Court of Justice, after all, I don’t know much about legal affairs.”

"About the current acquisition of Porsche and Volkswagen, what do you think of Mr. Zhong, who is a top financier?" Brown Lenners' questions seemed endless, one after another, "Or, What advice does Mr. Chung have for those who want to profit from 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 so. I personally don't evaluate the investment behavior of my peers, the market will give them a fair evaluation, I've never heard of a hedge fund that makes a sports car. If you don't have anything to do, I'm leaving."

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

   "Hello, my dear friend!"

Schwartz Porsche had seen Zhong Shi a long time ago, but Zhong Shi had been accepting interviews there, so it was difficult for him to go up to say hello. Finally, when Zhong Shi was free, he strode up to greet Zhong Shi and gave Zhong Shi Shi gave a big hug, "You are very welcome, my father has been waiting in the background for a long time."

   "Isn't Wolfgang planning to attend at this time?" Zhong Shi was taken aback and asked puzzledly, "Didn't he announce the news?"

   "No, no, no!" Schwartz looked excited and couldn't hide the joy in his heart. "This time it's not him who announces, I announce it."

"you?"

Zhong Shi looked Schwartz up and down. This tall young man is only 30 years old this year. Although he looks mature and sophisticated, it is just an appearance. In fact, he is still a big boy. It can be seen. Zhong Shi's thoughts were like lightning, and he only wanted to understand the joints in a moment. He smiled slightly at the moment, nodded to Schwartz, and led Jiang Shan to the rest room in the backstage.

  …

   "Who is this strange Asian face?"

  In the conference room at the highest level of Volkswagen, a group of directors are sitting around an oval conference table, watching ZDF TV's live broadcast of the Porsche family reception. The camera was on an executive from an American automaker just in time to catch Schwartz Porsche embracing Bellstone. Ferdinand Piech's heart moved, and he immediately asked the others.

  Interlaced like a mountain, although Zhongshi has a great reputation in the financial world, he is just an insignificant figure in the automobile manufacturing industry. So after Piëch asked, there was only silence.

"This should not be a big person!" Seeing the awkward atmosphere, a director coughed lightly and said casually, "According to my experience of looking at Asian faces, this guy should be very young. It is likely to be someone from Schwartz Porsche. an Asian friend, or their Asian spokesperson."

"No! No! No!" Piëch shook his head violently, "You may not know, but I know very well. The Porsche family has always been proud and proud, and would never be so polite to a friend or spokesperson. Have you noticed, that The Asian face is very indifferent, but Schwartz has a flattering face, which shows that the status of the two is not equal. If my guess is correct, this Asian face should have a great background."

  The other directors disagreed, but no one spoke out. After Porsche made a strong announcement of the acquisition, some of these people began to waver, especially when the European court declared the "Volkswagen Law" invalid.

   "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 a top invisible rich man, with a net worth of more than 500 Billion dollars, and the assets under control may exceed 100 billion dollars, or even more.”

Piexi was startled, stood up suddenly, took the document in the secretary's hand, and only glanced at the content roughly, his face immediately turned gray, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his whole body seemed to be drained of energy , without the confident attitude just now.

"What's going on here?"

  Suddenly, such a question appeared in the minds of all the directors. With the files being passed back and forth, it didn't take long for the answer to emerge. Sure enough, as Piëch predicted, that Asian face is not a spokesperson or a friend at all, but a real super rich.

  If this rich man is behind the Porsche family to support their acquisition, or joins the acquisition battle at this time, then it will undoubtedly be even more powerful for Porsche. For the Volkswagen side, it is a big disadvantage.

   "Maybe he didn't come because of the acquisition, maybe it was something else." A director said in a low voice, but judging by his volume, I'm afraid he didn't even believe it.

"It's absolutely impossible!" Piëch reluctantly waved his hand to stop everyone from continuing to entangle on this topic, "If he didn't see an opportunity to make a profit, it would be absolutely impossible for this rich man to appear at this time. But we don't have to worry, There is still strong support from the state government. It's just that now we need more financial assistance."

   For this anti-acquisition, Piëch has tried his best. According to the German Securities Acquisition Law, Piëch has sent many Volkswagen trade union representatives to participate in Porsche's association and supervisory board, hoping to persuade the association here to stop the acquisition.

  At the same time, Piëch got on the line with the Prime Minister through the Lower Saxony state government. Because the "Popular Law" violated the monopoly agreement, before the unfair clauses in this law were abolished by the European Court of Justice, he and the parliamentarians began to work on the formulation of the new "Popular Law". If there is a right, it must reach a 75% shareholding ratio, which is consistent with the current German "Securities Law".

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

   So far, the share held by Porsche has stayed at 42.6%, and it has been a long time since it stopped increasing its holdings. But Piech is well aware that the Porsche family will never stop there. Although there may be liquidity problems, the appearance of a super rich man 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 issued an announcement announcing that it would apply for a credit line of 12 billion euros from Deutsche Bank. At that time, the news caused a sensation in the entire market. People thought that Porsche would make a strong acquisition of Volkswagen's shares in the market, but after more than a month, their holdings remained unchanged, and people's hearts gradually fell, realizing that this fund might be a relief for Porsche's internal affairs. fluidity. After all, with the acquisition of such a large number of Volkswagen shares, Porsche's liquidity may be somewhat difficult.

  But at this time, if another 10 to 20 billion euros are involved, the whole situation may undergo a shocking reversal.

   "I need to talk to this gentleman!"

  Piech was silent for a while, and finally made up his mind, "No matter what method you use, I will have a good talk with this gentleman recently."

  Piech really panicked this time.
