Rebirth of the Powerful

Chapter 626

He Shiyun nodded seriously, and said with a sweet smile: "I will be more careful."

Xia Xiaoluo had lunch at their magazine office, seeing that they were busy again without taking a break, and didn't have the heart to interfere with their work, so she went back to the dormitory.

Xia Xiaoluo had just returned to the dormitory when the cell phone in her pocket rang.When he saw the number, it belonged to Lin Fengcheng, and he thought that Lin Fengcheng seldom contacted him, so it must be something serious.He quickly pressed the answer button.

Lin Fengcheng's slightly deep voice came from the receiver: "Master Luo, the acquisition of Vale is not going very smoothly."

"Huh? What's going on?" Xia Xiaoluo felt very surprised.Vale is a resource-intensive enterprise that holds many minerals around the world. However, the cash flow is not sufficient, and the hunger for funds has not been relieved.Since the mid-90s, the company has introduced strategic investors several times, including the Mitsui consortium known as the nuclear submarine of the industrial economy, with the purpose of attracting funds.

"It's hard to explain the problem. In short, the negotiation process was not smooth, and it was repeatedly obstructed by its current shareholder, the management of Bethlehem Steel Company. It can be said that it made things difficult." Lin Fengcheng, a business elite who has been on Wall Street for many years, rarely appeared depressed. tone of voice.

Xia Xiaoluo frowned and thought for a moment, "Vale's largest non-public shareholder is the Bethlehem Steel Company of the United States, which represents the interests of the United States. The state-owned shareholders have actually occupied a weak position. Who do you think these two major shareholders are?" working?"

"Judging from the reaction of the negotiation, the shareholder representatives of both parties have the same caliber. Not only have they raised excessive demands on the price, but they also questioned the operation and management capabilities of our acquirer and whether they can perform well. Shareholder responsibilities, they even said that the acquirer is likely to bring Vale into the abyss." Lin Fengcheng said with a serious tone.

"Could it be that they are considering economic security? Although the capital of Tianxia Group is internationalized, will they be aware of the relationship between Tianxia Group and the Huaxia government?" Xia Xiaoluo worried.If the Economic Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security can find out this information, there is no guarantee that the management of Vale will not.

"This possibility is unlikely." Lin Fengcheng thought for a moment and said firmly. "Brazil is known as a country sitting on a mine cart. It attaches great importance to domestic mineral resources and absolutely does not allow other countries' national capital to hold shares. The only reason why the American Bethlehem Steel Company can obtain shares in this company is because It is a private company itself. The second reason is that in the 60s, Bethlehem Company blatantly supported the coup d'état of the new Brazilian government. After the establishment of the new Brazilian government, they reciprocated and privatized part of the shares. This is an economic and political interest. advanced replacement."

Xia Xiaoluo thought to herself, in terms of industrial security, some countries understand it, and most countries attach great importance to it, and have not been fooled by the internationalization and globalization theories of Western countries represented by the United States.It's just that China is still lacking in this aspect. The field of economics is now in the period when neo-liberalism advocated by a group of young economists such as Zhang Weiying is in power.Although this kind of thinking is progressive, it also has many deficiencies.

There are three understandings of the world, one is market theory, and the other is conspiracy theory.Scholars at the Swiss Federal Institute of Science have now proposed a third, controlled market theory.But obviously, the controlling market theory is very close to "conspiracy theory".I used to be considered a market fundamentalist, but the more I got involved in the world, the more I doubted the overly simplistic principles in textbooks.The real world is closer to the jungle.

In the 21st century, scholars from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Einstein's alma mater, analyzed 3700 multinational companies and their share ownership relationships based on a database of 43060 million companies and investors around the world, and found that Barclays Bank, 147 highly connected financial institutions, including JP Morgan Chase and Goldman Sachs, which own 40% of global wealth, indeed control the global economy and cause global market turmoil!

However, when this theory was released, under the guidance of globalization and internationalization, under the guidance of neo-liberalism, China has been opening up without restraint for more than 30 years, and many industries have already been occupied by international capital.

Thinking of this, Xia Xiaoluo frowned even tighter.

Lin Fengcheng took a deep breath, glanced at the dazzling sun in the southern hemisphere, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said: "So, we have designed the merger and acquisition plan in advance. They are all in the form of shadow companies. The management of the three shadow companies controlled by the fund are all Westerners. But Hu Shuwen and I are behind the scenes. However, they are still very vigilant. These new companies have sufficient funds, but they must have little experience in mining, so , They used this as an excuse to make things difficult."

Xia Xiaoluo flicked her fingers subconsciously, tapped the tabletop extremely fast, and said: "They evaded a very serious problem. Our investment is not low, but they turned a blind eye to it. Considering this from the experience of our weak enterprise Mergers and acquisitions." He pondered for a moment, and said: "From a large perspective, capital is profit-seeking. Whoever gives more money should have the greatest advantage according to the theory of market competition. If they want to Considering the experience of business operations, this is not in line with common sense. Mergers and acquirers with rich experience are more likely to embezzle and plunder the other party in the subsequent corporate governance process. They should have avoided it. I think, I am afraid that there is something happening inside Vale question."

Lin Fengcheng's heart skipped a beat. As soon as Xia Xiaoluo reminded him, he felt a ray of light suddenly appear in front of him. Amidst the darkness, the gleam of light was obvious, but he couldn't completely break out of the fog of mergers and acquisitions.He frowned, moved his mouth twice, but didn't say anything.

Xia Xiaoluo chuckled, and said: "Well, I'll go to Rio de Janeiro right away. I'll personally supervise the formation and see what tricks they play."

Lin Fengcheng's hanging heart finally let go.With a beaming smile, he said, "That's a good relationship."

Most of the big financial wars and industrial wars in the past were supervised by Xia Xiaoluo. Even if he didn't operate it himself, as long as he was behind the scenes, it would always be beneficial.

Over the past few years, Xia Xiaoluo has already become the soul of Tianxia Group.

Xia Xiaoluo smiled and said: "This matter, let me make a bold guess. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. To solve this matter, you have to work hard. Seats are useless."

Lin Fengcheng nodded.Said: "As long as you come, we will have the backbone."

Xia Xiaoluo hung up the phone.Suddenly frowning, he thought, shit, Teacher Lin said that the exam results will be announced in two days.I have to ask her for a leave of absence.

Xia Xiaoluo called Mo Beibei, the person in charge of the intelligence department, and asked them to temporarily stop their work and put them on standby in Zhongzhou City.They also asked Lei Ting to select a few elite soldiers to lay the groundwork for their trip to Rio de Janeiro. After all, this is not their own one-acre three-point land, so naturally they must be more careful.

In the afternoon of the second day, there was no class.Xia Xiaoluo went to Lin Anchun's office and asked her for leave.Walking into the office building of the School of Economics and Management, she came to her office door and knocked on the door.

The door was pulled open suddenly, Lin Anchun was very surprised to see Xia Xiaoluo coming, and said, "Huh? Why are you here?"

Xia Xiaoluo smiled and said, "Didn't you say that you will be my confidante in the future? Of course, you need to keep in touch frequently. If you don't have anything to do, you can play a friendly match or something." As she spoke, her eyes aimed wantonly at Lin Anchun, who was wrapped in stockings. beautiful legs.

Lin Anchun was very happy.He also noticed the look in his eyes, but he knew that his dishonesty was just teasing and playing, and it didn't mean that he had any thoughts about him, so he patted Xia Xiaoluo's arm affectionately and let him in. office.Said: "Cut, you're not here anymore, you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Say, is there anything I can help you with?"

Xia Xiaoluo sat on a row of sofas against the wall, and said with a sneer: "Look at what you said, it seems that I am ruthless. Am I so utilitarian?"

"I don't know you yet? Tea or coffee?" Lin Anchun suddenly felt that this kind of feeling is not bad. A man like Xia Xiaoluo may actually treat his friends better than his girlfriend.

"Tea bar."

"Excellent West Lake Longjing. There are only ten kilograms a year in the whole country. I have half a catty. I won't give it to the dean to drink when he comes. I keep it to satisfy my hunger." Lin Anchun raised a delicate tea box in his hand and said.

"Well, don't give me such a good one. It's all wasted. I really can't drink any other taste. In my case, I can't drink the difference between tens of thousands of dollars a catty and a few dollars a catty. Come." Xia Xiaoluo laughed.

"That's impossible, it's rare for you to come." Lin Anchun handed Xia Xiaoluo a glass of water that he had prepared.

Xia Xiaoluo took the elegant cup, took a sip, and said, "I want to take a leave of absence. It will probably take a month." Xia Xiaoluo had no idea when she would be able to negotiate the acquisition of Vale.Simply spend more time talking.

"One month? So long?" Lin Anchun asked in surprise.It's not that he doesn't feel any hindrance if he doesn't go to class, but it's just that I haven't seen him for so long, and I must miss him.

"What's the matter! How long is the vacation, isn't it up to you to say?" Xia Xiaoluo frowned.

"You don't know. For short-term leave, I can approve it for a few days a week. For more than one month, it needs to be approved by the dean." Lin Anchun said. "It's not going well in the courtyard recently, and many people are staring at me."

"Isn't it?" Xia Xiaoluo glanced at her and laughed dumbfoundedly. "Miss Lin, does anyone dare to provoke you?"

"No one knows my identity. My grandfather told me to keep a low profile." Lin Anchun said with a smile. "Besides, I'm fine. The point is that if the courtyard finds out about this, it won't be good for you."

"Then you're going to find Zhang Yunmo! The dean must listen to you."

"This matter is really difficult." Lin Anchun said slyly.Eyelids raised, peeking at Xia Xiaoluo's reaction.

Xia Xiaoluo frowned and said, "Anyway, I have to go out. There is really no way to take this course."
