Lister resigned from McDonnell Douglas after completing the joint venture project between McDonnell Douglas and Ascendas Group. He then established an investment company and used his contacts in China to focus on investing in domestic assets.
Of course, this is just nice rhetoric. In fact, this guy is just taking advantage of the imperfect laws and regulations in the country to take advantage of loopholes and wielding the machete of capital to shear sheep and leeks everywhere.
Ascendas Group is naturally one of the sheep that Liszt is eyeing, so when he founded the investment company, he extended an olive branch to Zhuang Jianye, hoping to purchase 20% of Ascendas Group's shares for US$400 million.
Zhuang Jianye didn¡¯t pay attention at all at the time. He wanted to get 20% of the shares for US$400 million. The Ascendas Group¡¯s huge assets were worth US$2 billion?
The market value of just one Ascendas Aviation Technology R&D Center is more than this amount. If Lister wants to take advantage, there is no way!
What's more, others don't know who Liszt is, and Zhuang Jianye doesn't know it yet. He is a hungry wolf who can't get enough to eat. Now that he has left the aviation industry and joined the capital market, he is more in line with the bloody and ruthless nature of capital. What's his appetite? It may be filled with a mere 20% of the shares.
Sure enough, now that the domestic reform has encountered setbacks, causing serious economic inflation, and Ascendas Group is facing difficulties due to funding problems, Lister has shown his bloody fangs and wants to swallow up Ascendas Group if he wants US$400 million plus a 30% premium. 40% of the shares.
What does he think of Chinese companies? Do you really think that the carnival of international capital in Russia a few years later can also be staged in China at this time?
He actually wanted to play the tricks of an oligarch¡¯s agent. Zhuang Jianye felt that these tricks were not only familiar but also despicable.
But then I thought about it and felt that talking about morality and ethics with capital is really too ideal. In this case, there is nothing to care about. Anyway, this time I came here to explore Liszt¡¯s tone. Now I know that the purpose has been achieved, so that¡¯s it. There is no need to think so much.
So he took a long breath, drank the rest of the coffee, and then shouted to the waiter: "Pay the bill."
The waiter came over quickly and politely replied: "The foreign gentleman has already finished the wedding, but he entrusted me to give this to you before leaving."
Zhuang Jianye was startled for a moment, took the file bag from the waiter, opened it and took out a copy of the American "National Interest" magazine that was just published this month. The huge title on it was about the severe domestic inflation.
Zhuang Jianye knew what Liszt meant before he continued to read. The meeting just now was Liszt's last chance for him. The next time he would not have such good conditions, because what the international capital represented by Liszt was waiting for was That eye-catching word in the magazine - collapse!
When Zhuang Jianye returned to Ascendas Group's office in Xingzhou, Huang Feng, Pan Xu and others who had been waiting there surrounded Zhuang Jianye, but before they could ask any questions, Zhuang Jianye sat down on the sofa. He took out the file bag from the briefcase in his hand, took out the American "National Interest" magazine that Lister gave him and put it on the coffee table in front of him: "Those who understand English read it themselves, and those who don't understand ask each other. , the American attitude is this, when we collapse, when will they come in to pick peaches."
Pan Xu became anxious upon hearing this. He quickly picked up the magazine on the coffee table and approached Huang Feng: "Old Huang, you are very knowledgeable. Let's read it to everyone."
Huang Feng found the page number of the article according to the index of the title, and stopped after only two paragraphs. There was no way that the content inside was too shocking, and he really didn't dare to read any more. Not only Huang Feng, but also Pan Xu and others The person in charge of the company broke into a cold sweat when he heard this.
But soon these people calmed down, and then they all sighed in unison. Compared with Ascendas Group's actions to reduce debt and increase cash flow, other companies in the room were more or less trapped in the vortex of triangular debt.
When the economic situation is good, the prosperous environment covers everything up, but when the inflation comes and the tsunami rushes over and ruthlessly lifts the lid, it turns out that everyone is swimming naked, and they are instantly injured. Injury.
Pan Xu couldn't sit still for the first time. He looked at Zhuang Jianye who was leaning on the sofa and shouted urgently: "Mr. Zhuang, you have to think of a way. The people in this room are all brother factories supporting upstream and downstream. If this all collapses, all the industrial benefits we have worked so hard to build over the past few years will be in vain.¡±
"Yes, Mr. Zhuang, you have to help us."
"Yes, Mr. Zhuang, we haven't paid wages for three months."
"Mr. Zhuang"?
¡¡
"Everyone, stop talking now." Just as a group of upstream and downstream supporting factories were talking about Zhuang Jianye trying to find a way, Huang Feng suddenly spoke to suppress the chaotic scene: "Let's not always leave Lao Zhuang alone. If you work hard, you might as well come up with a solution on your own."
"We are not trying to find a way. Old leaders from the city, province, and even the factory have all gone to the capital. But there is a shortage of money everywhere. Even if we have money, it will depreciate. Most of it will be lost before we can cover the heat. It is simply If there is not enough for basic production, Mr. Huang, we really have no choice." A person in charge of an upstream raw material company said with a cry.
Other business leaders echoed one after another. Huang Feng wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say. Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control again, Zhuang Jianye on the sofa suddenly said: "Everyone, let's see if this method works"
¡¡
While Zhuang Jianye was discussing strategies to get out of trouble with a group of upstream and downstream companies, Liszt was watching the changes in the country with cold eyes from his residence, like an old monk who had entered meditation. He had a state of letting the wind and rain hit him without any distractions.
In fact, he was not the only one, many foreign capitals stopped investing in the country at this time and quietly watched the direction of the domestic situation, because they concluded that this time the country may not be able to overcome the difficulties of inflation, and the most likely outcome is It is Latin Americanization. At that time, these capitals will be like sharks smelling the smell of blood, opening their bloody mouths to deliver the final fatal blow to China, a huge giant full of blood loss.
Therefore, they had already found their targets before this, and the same was true for Liszt. Based on his many years of research and observation, he had actually found several good assets, the core of which was the Ascendas Group headed by Zhuang Jianye.
Based on his understanding of the Ascendas Group, once China becomes Latin American due to inflation, Ascendas Group can immediately cooperate with the American aviation giant after buying the Ascendas Group at a low price. The cost will be recovered within two years, and then sold at a high price. You can make a lot of money.
"It's a pity that Zhuang is smart but not ambitious enough. It's a pity. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to become our agent and make a fortune together?"
Liszt held the coffee and looked at the beautiful scenery outside. He felt sorry for Zhuang Jianye, but the next moment he smiled indifferently. Without Zhuang Jianye, there are still Li Jianye and Wang Jianye, they are just agents. No one can go, it has to be Zhuang Jianye. ?
Just as he was thinking about this, the phone suddenly rang. Liszt, who was interrupted from his thoughts, frowned, but he still went to answer the phone. As a result, just after listening to a few words, Liszt suddenly jerked. The coffee in his hand trembled and fell to the ground with a clatter, but he didn't care about it. Instead, he asked in a twitchy tone: "What did you say? The upstream and downstream supporting industries of Ascendas Group have restarted production? They are How did you do it?"
