The Pentium Era - South to North

Zhang Chen stayed in Yongcheng until Xiaofang was returning from Spain the next day, and then returned to Hangzhou. The next morning, he drove with two old ladies, who held Zhang Xiangxi in their arms, and went to Pudong, Shanghai together. Pick up Xiaofang at the airport.

The three people stood outside the railing at the exit. Zhang Chen saw Xiaofang and Liu Qing pulling out their trolley cases. Xiaofang saw them from a distance, so she threw her trolley case towards Liu Qing and walked through the exit. The people standing there ran over, hugged Zhang Xiangxi through the isolation railing at the exit, and kissed her on the face.

This action was a bit sudden. Zhang Xiangxi cried loudly. Xiaofang was a little at a loss. She coaxed and kissed her. Zhang Xiangxi still kept crying. Xiaofang could only give her back to Zhang Chen's mother. As soon as Zhang Xiangxi arrived, Zhang Chen's mother In my arms, I stopped crying.

Xiaofang looked at Zhang Chen with a grimace and said anxiously: "What should I do? This guy doesn't recognize me anymore."

Zhang Chen smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, she doesn't know me either."

Zhang Chen's mother scolded them: "You two have been away from home for many days, how can she know you? Even puppies and kittens need to be raised to become mature."

After scolding, she felt that the words were not very appropriate. Zhang Chen's mother spat, and Liu Qing stood behind Xiaofang, giggling.

Xiaofang's mother told Xiaofang, "It will be fine in two days. The child's nose is very good, and she can smell her mother's scent."

Someone from the company also came to pick up Xiaofang and the others. Liu Qing and Xiaofang said, should I go back to the company first?

Xiaofang said, let the driver take you home first to get rid of the jet lag.

"No, I'm used to it." Liu Qing looked at his watch and said, "I'd better go to the office first to sort out some urgently needed information and send it over. It's almost time to go to work over there in Spain."

Xiaofang nodded and said, okay.

Liu Qing waved to the two old ladies and Zhang Chen, and followed the people in the company. Xiaofang also walked out of the railing. Zhang Chen took the trolley case and backpack from her hands. Xiaofang still tried to hug Zhang Xiangxi. As soon as Zhang Xiangxi arrived, Xiaofang was still crying in her hands.

Xiaofang said: "Is this little guy going to make me angry to death?"

"You scared her just now. After a while, when she gets hungry, just feed her once." Zhang Chen's mother said.

Xiaofang was distressed and said, "I seem to have no more milk."

The two old ladies laughed, and Zhang Chen's mother said, "What do you think when I ask you to feed her with a bottle? Do you want to feed her your own milk? If you feed her again, will she still be able to wean off her milk?"

Xiaofang tilted her head and smiled.

After getting in the car, Zhang Chen drove to "Century Fairview". Xiaofang asked Zhang Chen: "How about you go to Taiwan?"

Zhang Chen said: "It's just a funeral. What can I do? I can only say that Miss Cai's funeral was very grand. Respectable people from all over Taiwan came to the mourning hall to express their condolences. The scale was also very large. I didn't see it. , but it is said that on the day of the funeral, Ms. Cai’s photo and subtitles with a beautiful voice were also printed on the 101 Building.”

"I can imagine it." Xiaofang said.

"How are you doing?" Zhang Chen asked.

"The U.S. side is going very smoothly, and the acquisition of Smithfield Foods will be completed next month," Xiaofang said. "There are some obstacles here in Spain."

"What's wrong?"

"Smithfield Food Company holds 36.99% of the shares of Spanish Nongfu Group. After Shuanghui International Holdings acquired Smithfield Food Company, it indirectly held this part of the shares, but it is still not the largest shareholder. It is the largest shareholder of Nongfu Group. It's a Mexican company called Sigma.

"The major shareholders can still do their job, as long as the acquisition price is in place. The most important thing now is that the European Union and the Spanish National Securities Market Commission still have doubts about this acquisition."

"It is conceivable that they are the largest meat products company in Europe and were acquired by the Double Federation. In the words of our newspaper, what is it? This will affect their food safety and market security." Zhang Chen said.

"Yes, that's it." Xiaofang sighed and said, "Let's do it step by step. Now if I swallow two big fat people at the same time, I'm worried about indigestion."

One month later, on May 29, 2013, Shuanghui International Holdings Co., Ltd. and Smithfield Foods (NYSE: SFD) jointly announced that Shuanghui International would acquire Smith for a total price of US$7.1 billion. FIELD FOODS COMPANY.

According to the terms of the agreement, Shuanghui International Holdings will pay Smithfield Foods US$4.7 billion in cash and assume the latter's debt of approximately US$2.4 billion.

The acquisition price of Shuanghui International Holdings is US$34 per share, which is a premium of 31% compared to Smithfield Foods' closing price of US$25.97 in the US market on May 28.

Based on the closing price on May 28, Smithfield Foods has a market value of approximately US$3.6 billion.

Affected by the news of the acquisition, on May 29, 2013, Smithfield Foods' opening price was $32.55, a surge of more than 25% from the closing price of the previous trading day.

Xiaofang finally completed a seemingly impossible task. After Shuanghui International Holdings acquired Smithfield Foods, it became the largest meat processing company in Asia and North America. Then, they targeted the Spanish Farmers Group. , if this acquisition can be completed, Shuanghui Group will become the largest meat product processing company in three continents.

In December 2013, Shuanghui International Holdings announced that it would join forces with Sigma, a Mexican food company that holds 45% of the Spanish Farmers Group, to launch a tender offer for the remaining 18% of the company's shares. However, as Xiaofang expected, this company The acquisition still requires approval from Spain's National Securities Market Commission.

The road is still long, but that’s something to talk about later.

Just when Xiaofang and Liu Qing went to the United States again to complete the final acquisition procedures, Liu Yun and Zhang Chen said that their Fanhua Network had successfully completed Series A financing.

…

Zhang Chen and Lao Tan were at the construction site of the "Dynamic Zone". He received a call from Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, asked where he was. Zhang Chen told him. Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, asked:

"Is Zhenzhen with you?"

Zhang Chen said he wasn't here, I was with Brother Tan, and Tan Shuzhen was in her own company.

"I just picked up Xiaohu at the airport. Let's go to Zhenzhen's office. Can you come over?" Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, asked.

Zhang Chen said yes, I will go to Tan Shuzhen's office immediately.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Chen told Lao Tan the phone number of Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty. Lao Tan said, go ahead, they must be looking for you so urgently, there must be something important.

Zhang Chen said yes, took off the safety helmet on his head, handed it to the boss of the construction company who had been following them, and went down the dark stairs.

When Zhang Chen rushed to Qiushi Academy, Han Emperor Liu Bang and Xiao Hu had not arrived yet. Seeing Zhang Chen come in, Tan Shuzhen asked strangely:

"Old Tan went to the 'Dynamic Zone' construction site to look for you, but you didn't meet him?"

"I met him, but he was called over by Brother Liu. He and Xiaohu were on their way from the airport."

Zhang Chen said that he told Tan Shuzhen about the phone number of Han Emperor Liu Bang, and Tan Shuzhen also felt strange. She said:

"Xiaohu must have just passed Qiqi. What's the matter with him coming to the mainland in such a hurry?"

Zhang Chen shook his head and asked, could it be that there was something wrong with any of their Fubon Financial Holdings funds in mainland China?

"It's impossible. Even if it's like this, he shouldn't be here to find us." Tan Shuzhen said, and it made sense for Zhang Chen to think about it.

While the two were wondering, Zhang Chen looked through the glass window behind Tan Shuzhen and saw the car of Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, driving in from the gate. Zhang Chen said, "Here we come." Tan Shuzhen turned to look and pressed her hands on the table. stood up.

Han Emperor Liu Bang and Xiao Hu got off the car and saw Zhang Chen and Tan Shuzhen had walked out of the office and were standing on the other side of the bridge. Liu Bang, the Emperor of Han Dynasty, raised his hand and greeted them from a distance, and the two stepped up their steps. past.

Zhang Chen and Tan Shuzhen saw that Xiaohu, the "polite gentleman", was no longer smiling like before. His expression was a little haggard and his face was a little pale. When he walked, he seemed a little wandering. As you can imagine, This period of time was very torturous for him.

When they approached, before Xiaohu called them, Tan Shuzhen asked slowly: "Xiaohu, have you arranged everything at home?"

"Okay, thank you Sister Zhenzhen, there is nothing big going on at home." Xiaohu said, "If I hadn't waited for Mom's last ten days to pass, I would have been here long ago."

Tan Shuzhen looked at Zhang Chen, who shook his head slightly. The two of them were still wondering, why is it so urgent?

Zhang Chen looked at Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Bang sighed softly.

The four of them walked inside together. When passing Yao Fen's office, Tan Shuzhen and Yao Fen said, don't let anyone disturb us.

She thought to herself that the matter that Xiaohu was so anxious to talk to them about must be very important.

The four of them sat down on the sofa. Xiaohu said to Zhang Chen and Tan Shuzhen, my mother asked me to come to you.

As he spoke, he took out a folder from his bag and handed it to Zhang Chen. Xiaohu asked: "Brother Zhang, you gave this to my mother, right?"

Zhang Chen opened it, took a look, and handed it to Tan Shuzhen. He and Xiaohu agreed that it was right.

Tan Shuzhen saw that what she was holding in her hand was the person named Alian whom Miss Cai had entrusted them to find when she came to Hangzhou that year. This information was the information they gave to Cai at the Hyatt Regency Hotel by the West Lake. Miss's.

Zhang Chen and Tan Shuzhen both looked at Xiaohu, wondering why he came to them to ask about this matter at this time, although they had vaguely felt that this woman whose first name was Yu Huilian and whose nickname was A Lian, What kind of secret relationship will there be with Miss Cai?

Xiaohu took out another envelope from his bag and said to Zhang Chen and Tan Shuzhen:

"This is a letter my mother left for me. She had written it a long time ago and put it with her lawyer. It was placed with her will. After she died, the lawyer gave it to me."

Xiaohu handed the envelope to Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen took it in his hand and asked Xiaohu: "Can we read the letter your mother gave you?"

"Okay." Xiaohu said, "My mother also mentioned you in the letter. She asked me to come to you."

The envelope was very thick and heavy in his hand. Zhang Chen took the letter out of the envelope. It had more than a dozen pages and was written on familiar letterhead with a calligraphy pen. Each one of them was in delicate regular script. You could tell. , Miss Cai spent a long time writing this letter.

Tan Shuzhen leaned over and the two of them read the letter. The letter began with:

"Xiaohu: When you read this letter, your mother will no longer be in this world..."
