Chapter 26 Chapter Twenty Six

Standing in front of the window of the European office of Weiye International Group, you can see the famous Pont Neuf on the Ile de la Cité in Paris. The Pont Neuf is not new, it is a very old bridge on the Seine.According to George Bellowbe, the resident commercial agent of the office, the foundation stone was laid by King Henry III in 1578. For unknown reasons, it was not completed until 1603 by King Henry IV.By the time of Louis XIII, the bridge had become notorious in Paris.Belloubei once recited to Bai Yuanwei a famous poem by a certain poet in the Louis XIII era, "Xinqiao, you are a distribution center for quacks, swindlers, and counterfeiters; you are the balm, plaster, pimp, pickpocket, and gangster. Business field." Bai Yuanwei commented that this is a bit like a flyover in Beijing.Belloube has lived in China for ten years, and is no stranger to Beijing and skybridges. He immediately pointed out that the skybridges in Beijing have disappeared as real objects, including those courtyard houses with oriental characteristics; while the old buildings on the Pont Neuf and the banks of the Seine River in Paris are intact. The ground has been preserved, and together with the Arc de Triomphe, the Star Square, the Champs Elysees, and the Eiffel Tower, it constitutes a complete history of the city.

This is embarrassing. Compared with European cities such as Paris, Rome, and Brussels, Chinese cities pay too little attention to their own history!Especially in the past ten years, with the rapid economic growth, the historical characteristics of each city are gradually disappearing.Therefore, Bai Yuanwei has reservations about Zhao Anbang and Ningchuan's previous city leaders in terms of urban construction, but he has a high opinion of Pei Yihong: During the twelve years when Pei Yihong was in charge of Pingzhou as the secretary of the municipal party committee, although he failed to I have fought Ningchuan before, but I have retained the characteristics of this famous seaside city.

Pei Yihong is a little unpredictable, and has not expressed any attitude towards the property rights issue of Weiye International so far. Is this big official in Xinjiang deliberately avoiding this thorny issue, or does he have other ideas?It is said that Yu Huabei had an idea that the equity reward plan was inappropriate.What's even more strange is that at this moment, Shi Yanan and Qian Huiren both resigned from their current jobs and went to Wenshan at the same time.Not only did Qian Huiren, who was scheduled to be promoted to the deputy provincial level, fail to make it, he even failed to become secretary of the Wenshan Municipal Party Committee, and Shi Yanan was actually the top leader!What's going on?What happened to the Han River these days?Has Qian Huiren's backstage Zhao Anbang lost his power?If Zhao Anbang loses power, property rights will probably be more difficult to resolve.

He is overseas, but his heart is at home. There are several or even a dozen calls from China every day, and no sensitive information from Hanjiang has escaped his astute eyes.During the more than a month in Europe, he didn't have a moment of leisure. During the day, he ran around with the foreign devils like Bellowbe to raise funds; Hour.Neither Zhao Anbang nor Sun Lusheng would have imagined that the chairman of the board of directors of Weiye International, whose identity is unknown, would use the European office next to the Ile de la Cité in Paris as a base to remotely control the ups and downs of Weiye's stocks on the domestic and Nasdaq markets. Plan a powerful offensive backed by a huge amount of international hot money.From a common sense analysis, he is encountering Waterloo, and he should retreat and protect himself, rather than attack and expand.Zhao Anbang would never have imagined that he would help them promote Hanjiang Province for his own offensive purpose at this time!

Yes, sell Han River Province, sell Greater China, sell the double chance of investment and speculation from China! Dr. Von Trauss, an authoritative analyst of German Orient Investment Company headquartered in Frankfurt, provided convincing international currency exchange rate analysis theory for his sales promotion.According to the precise analysis of Dr. Strauss, the value of the renminbi has been seriously underestimated at present. It should appreciate by 36% to 45% against the euro and about 20% against the US dollar.But the actual situation is not like this. With the continuous appreciation of the euro, the already undervalued RMB is actually depreciating along with the US dollar!Therefore, Dr. Trauss pointed his golden finger at China, and suggested that venture capital funds in continental Europe use the value-added euros to buy RMB-priced assets in the form of investment, and share the fruits of China's rapid economic growth in due course.At the invitation of Strauss, he took Bellobe and his party to a roadshow in continental Europe to promote Chinese project investment funds. The roadshow was quite successful, somewhat beyond his expectations.

Strauss' exchange rate theory reveals the huge appreciation potential of the renminbi in the future, and his promotion provides a safe way for euro hot money looking for investment directions to enter China and guarantees for expected profits.Trauss made it very clear, "Bai itself is a miracle, which means profits from China!" Therefore, he and Xinwei International Enterprise Investment Company easily raised 250 million euros.According to the agreement, Xinwei Investment will invest these euros in stages in the fields of electricity, real estate, and automobiles in China.70% of its investment income is owned by the fund holders, and 30% is the commission and management fees invested by him and Xinwei. The conditions are quite favorable.In this way, Xinwei's investment portfolio has expanded to a scale equivalent to about RMB 4.5 billion.Prior to this, the special investment in Pingzhou Port had already been implemented, and it was impossible to change it.It is precisely because of this that he did not give up the Pingzhou Port project.

Xinwei Investment has nothing to do with the current Weiye International Group. It is a partnership company newly registered in the British Virgin Islands by him and his subordinate vice president Chen Guangming last year. He holds 70% of the shares.At that time, it was also considered to give Wang Zhengyi some equity to facilitate future financing in the United States. Chen Guangming objected, saying that Wang Zhengyi was unreliable and had already turned his back.Unexpectedly, when Chen Guangming was right, Wang Zhengyi really turned his back on him. He took away tens of millions of dollars from him and the company behind his back, and finally died violently in Paris.According to Belloube, the cause of Wang's death has been figured out by the French police a few days ago. It was a suicide. Before coming to Paris, this person lost all his dirty money in Las Vegas, USA, and his wife ran away with others. He felt desperate .

Bellowbe is a nice guy who knows exactly who his boss is at all times and in every situation.Therefore, the Hanjiang Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission was very dissatisfied with Belloube, especially Sun Lusheng, who disliked this French "comrade" with a quarter of Jewish blood.A few days ago, a phone call came, proposing to close the European office of Weiye International and dismiss Bellow.Sun Lusheng said that we cannot carry forward the spirit of internationalism like this. Isn't it too much for such a foreign comprador to spend 5,000 euros a month?On such a trivial matter, he didn't argue, and immediately said, "Okay, let's do it according to your opinion!"However, as soon as he hung up the phone, he turned around and gave Bello Bei a salary increase of 1,000 euros, and the European office of Weiye International became the European office of Xinwei Investment.This office has nothing to do with Weiye International.

Now that the new ship has been built, it will be easier for Weiye International to fight the property rights battle. If they win, they will fight.It would be even better if the two flagships of NASDAQ's Weiye China and Shanghai Stock Exchange's Weiye Holdings can be driven away. Of course, abandoning Weiye International does not mean abandoning the Chinese market. In today's world, there is nothing more dynamic than the Chinese economy.Previously, the engine of the world economy was the United States, and in the future it will be China. China will at least serve as the engine of the Asian economy. The euros he raised must be invested in Chinese projects.Therefore, even if Zhao Anbang loses power and the equity reward plan cannot be realized in the end, he will not fall out with the government of a large economic province in China. The bow of the boat said "goodbye" to them!

As the night deepened, the Ile de la Cité and the banks of the Seine were lit up with beautiful lights, and Paris entered another dreamland.However, the sun in China has risen again - it is time for him to work with the country again. The first call was to Mr. Tang. Mr. Tang called during the day, but he didn't answer. When Mr. Tang heard that it was him, he asked cheerfully, "Yuan Wei, what's the matter with you? Do you miss leaving?" Bai Yuanwei smiled and said, "Even if I don't think about Shu, I still have to think about you, Mr. Professor! Are you all right?"

Mr. Tang spoke modestly, but his voice was full of excitement, "It's okay, it's okay, I moved my hands and feet a while ago, it's the green garden I told you about! You guys have quick eyesight, quick hands, fast in and out, They have achieved a lot in this kind of market, I commend them today!" Bai Yuanwei joked: "Your Haitian department has gained a lot, and the small stockholders should be bloody again?!" Mr. Tang complained: "Besides, I am also bloody and bloody, and the money I earned on the green pastoral land has been invested in your Weiye Holdings in installments and batches! Yuan Wei, what nonsense are you talking about in Europe? I am now After eating your stomachs full of steel, you can’t even vomit! Do you know? Weiye Holdings closed down to around 6 yuan today! I called you, but you didn’t answer. Your foreign old man said, you Meeting with two European MPs?" Bai Yuanwei said lightly: "It's not a meeting, just a casual chat. They will visit China within this year!" Mr. Tang is very sensitive, "You don't want to play the international card, do you? Use the two congressmen to do domestic work?" Bai Yuanwei laughed at himself: "You don't even think about it, do I dare? I am now a concubine whose identity is unknown, as if I am facing an abyss, and walking on thin ice, how dare I openly get involved with these Western politicians!" He then got to the point, "Old man, What happened to Qian Huiren? Why was he suddenly transferred to Wenshan as mayor? Governor Zhao Anbang didn't speak for Qian Huiren?" Mr. Tang said: "The specific situation is not clear, but it is said that the surname Qian may have financial problems!" Bai Yuanwei didn't quite believe it, "This is impossible! The headquarters of Weiye International is in Ningchuan. I have dealt with Qian Huiren for more than ten years, and I know him very well. As far as I know, his integrity is rare! Back then In Hong Kong, I gave him a watch out of gratitude, and he handed it in immediately after returning to China! I think this might be a political struggle, right?" Mr. Tang judged, "It's not impossible. There have been a lot of rumors in the society recently, saying that Zhao Anbang and the provincial government are adjusting the economic structure, the provincial party committee is adjusting the political structure, and Pei Yihong and Yu Huabei are going to dismantle the Ningchuan Gang!" Bai Yuanwei knew that Yu Huabei had worked as a graduate student of the old man in his early years, so he asked, "What's the news from Secretary Yu? How did I hear that he is not satisfied with the provincial government's equity reward plan? Think it's inappropriate?" Mr. Tang was very surprised: "Hey, Yuan Wei, who did you hear that from? Yu Huabei doesn't mind being so lenient, right?" Bai Yuanwei said: "Our secretary here is so strict, if you don't believe me, you can ask him!" He said meaningfully, "I guess the decline of Weiye Holdings has something to do with it, old man, your Haitian department has eaten I’m afraid that steel will be hard to digest for a while! Let me tell you the truth: if it doesn’t work, my team and I will be out of the game, retreat from Weiye International, and plan to build a bonded zone in Europe in the next step! Today, these two European MPs are looking for me to talk about this matter !" Mr. Tang was a little surprised, but his words remained calm, "Yuan Wei, even if we set up a bonded area, it can be done in the name of Weiye International! I think this is a good subject, let's use this subject to speculate, okay?" ? At least help us solve the problem!" Bai Yuanwei deliberately said: "I don't dare to play with Hanjiang Province anymore, if you want to get rid of the game, go to Secretary Yu!" Putting down the phone, looking at the lights outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and thinking about it, Bai Yuanwei called Sun Lusheng again. Sun Lusheng yelled like a cannonball when he opened his mouth: "I said Mr. Bai, when are you coming back? Governor Zhao urged me again, waiting for you to come back to sign the equity agreement! Governor Zhao said, since the 20% equity reward plan is your principle If the government agrees, then sign it as soon as possible to avoid rumors spreading and market fluctuations! In addition, it is also clear that the provincial government and the provincial SASAC will not send people to take over Weiye International for the time being, and the specific implementation plan must be discussed seriously with you. !" Bai Yuanwei said: "You'd better ask Governor Zhao to think again. Is it possible not to send someone to take over? Will other leaders in the province have any objections? It is reported that Secretary Pei Yihong has no attitude so far, and Deputy Secretary Yu seems to have some Opinion?" There was something in Sun Lusheng's words, "Boss Bai, it's good that you know, so I won't say much, just figure it out!" Bai Yuanwei pondered for a moment: "Well, I will strive to return to China as soon as possible, and I will return after finishing the matter here!" Sun Lusheng said again: "Hey, why did I hear the comrades in the embassy say that you are promoting the undervaluation of the renminbi in Europe? Governor Zhao asked me to remind you: Be consistent with the government's caliber, and don't join the economic anti-China chorus!" Bai Yuanwei yelled immediately, "What the hell, it's the foreign devils in Europe who are shouting about the undervaluation of the renminbi, and it's not me! I'm just helping to attract domestic investment, and besides, I'm not a government official!" Sun Lusheng obviously understood the situation, "I know, it is said that you stole several hundred million euros from Europe?" Bai Yuanwei said indifferently: "Where did the hundreds of millions of euros come from? Isn't it just for the financing of Pingzhou Port, it was decided last year!" Then it came to Shi Yanan, "I didn't expect that I would raise funds for Pingzhou Port, a female market The long reverse is gone!" Sun Lusheng jokingly said, "What? Are you reluctant to part with Shi Yanan? Boss Bai, do you have a crush on the female mayor? Do you want to follow her to invest in Wenshan? If you really have this idea, our State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission supports it! You know, According to the ten-year plan of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, Wenshan will be the focus of our province's next economic development!" Bai Yuanwei laughed, "Director Sun, it's up to you to say that? Shi Yanan has already called me and asked me to meet Wenshan! I have to go back as soon as possible just to date the newly appointed female secretary of the municipal party committee. one time!" Sun Lusheng smiled and said, "That's good, it seems that our female secretary hasn't taken office yet, so you can block her in the provincial capital!" Bai Yuanwei said: "No, according to what I know, she should be on her way to Wenshan to take office at this moment!" Sun Lusheng was greatly surprised, and half-truthfully called out: "Hey, Mr. Bai, do you have clairvoyance?!" Bai Yuanwei laughed happily, "I don't have clairvoyance, but I have a patriotic heart, and my heart is for the motherland!" After the conversation with Sun Lusheng ended, Bai Yuanwei fell into deep thought before making a decision—— It seems that he has to go back first, even if he goes back and then leaves.Sun Lusheng has something to say today, and Zhao Anbang is also facing a lot of pressure. Qian Huiren's relegation is a proof!If he dragged on like this, he might not even have the rewarded equity. 20% of the equity is not a small amount. Why not take it if he can get it, not to mention the promise to let him continue to operate!Even if this promise cannot be fulfilled in the end, he will not lose anything. Isn't the new ship invested by Xinwei finished?It's time to switch ships!Then I thought, what happened to Qian Huiren?Why did Zhao Anbang acquiesce to this embarrassing fact?Do Pei Yihong and Yu Huabei want to write about Qian Huiren, or Zhao Anbang?If the flames of war started by Qian Huiren really ignite, will it eventually burn on him? If you are engaged in economics in Mainland China, you have to pay attention to politics; if you don’t care about politics, you can’t become bigger and stronger! However, if you care about politics, you must stay away from politicians.You should pay attention to political trends from the officialdom, but you should not seek political backers in the officialdom, let alone form alliances with officials and engage in personal attachment.The thing is clear: any official has a tenure, and there is also an opposition. There is no eternal power, and the damage after the loss of power exists objectively. When those incumbents fall or step down, you will be down and down. , There are already too many such lessons.Therefore, he has no alliance with Ningchuan or any officials in the province, including Zhao Anbang and Qian Huiren. Then what is he afraid of?Even if Zhao Anbang, Qian Huiren and other high-ranking officials from Ningchuan are all defeated, he can still negotiate directly with Pei Yihong and Yu Huabei!Then go back as soon as possible, even if you take a chestnut out of the fire, take a chance on it!
