Chapter 893 "Busy Representative of Tan"
"I'm a little curious about why Mr. Tan hasn't bought a private plane yet?"
On March 1, Tan Jincheng, who ended his trip to Guizhou Province, had no time to return to Zhejiang Province and flew to the imperial capital with his delegation to participate in this two sessions.
In business class, the leader surnamed Chen, who sat in front of the seat with Tan Jincheng, was a little curious about this issue.
Tan Jincheng smiled and said, "Many people have asked me about this question. After all, I still think it is not practical and I don't want to waste this money and buy face."
The practicality of private jets is actually average. You buy a company that is no less profitable than raising a company. Anyway, major airlines also provide charter services and sign a cooperation agreement with several airlines will not affect travel.
You don't have to bear some other expenses yourself.
The leader surnamed Chen laughed in silence: "This answer is a bit beyond my surprise."
He was just curious for a moment. With Tan Jincheng's status and wealth, no one would say that he was showing off his wealth or anything, but he would just take it for granted.
In his imagination, there might be many reasons not to buy, but he didn't expect it to be this reason. This is not something that he could say at all.
"Some assets can be bought back, but some assets do not need this."
Tan Jincheng said something, and the leader surnamed Chen smiled and said nothing.
The plane slowly landed at the Imperial Capital International Airport, and Daxing Airport was still under construction and was not put into operation. In the event of such a large-scale event, the already busy Imperial Capital International Airport seemed even more noisy.
He bowed to the delegation of your province: "Dear leaders, we have said goodbye to you. Thank you for your care this month."
At this time, members of delegations from all over the world rushed over at the airport, and there were also media outlets. Tan Jincheng did not want to be discovered by the media and stopped him. He needed to go to the place where the Zhejiang delegation stayed as soon as possible.
In addition, his family also came to the imperial capital for a trip this weekend, just like last year, and his family also needed to make arrangements.
"Where are you, entertaining guests is what we should do. Mr. Tan and your family are welcome to visit your province at any time."
"It must be certain, then we will meet back."
Without too much greeting, Tan Jincheng quickly left under the gaze of the delegation of your province. The members of the delegation of your province watched the departure of the "big financial owner", and their faces were different.
To be honest, they like Tan Jincheng, an industrialist who has been praised by the outside world and has an alternative style of work, seems a bit "alternative" among the entrepreneurs.
However, this alternative is what they like. The national data center that was quickly implemented within one month made them show their big face before the Two Sessions, especially the investment promotion department of your province, which has been smiling all over the past month.
The investment and construction of large data centers is not temporary, but a long-term nature. The planning of the two phases of the Qixing Data Center project is planned to be in 2024, and the total investment according to the budget will definitely not be less than 10 billion.
There is no need to say about daily maintenance, operations and employee recruitment.
What surprised them the most was that, as the largest seven-star data center among private enterprises, the first cave-style design plan based on the mountain has not only brought great attention to Gui'an New District and Guizhou Province.
It seems like the characters in martial arts novels have been opened to Ren and Du meridians. In attracting investment in the digital economy, the Qixing Data Center has provided them with a new idea, including the resources in electricity, etc., which are comparable to those in other provinces, so they can make greater publicity in terms of safety.
In addition, what surprised them the most was that with the implementation of the Seven Star Data Center project, many other companies also sent olive branches, and the road to investment promotion was immediately opened.
The first person to hand over the olive branch was Teng Xun. After listening to Tan Jincheng's introduction, Xiao Ma decided to send someone to take a look.
"What are you going to talk about this year? Or your educational proposal?"
In the lounge of the Zhejiang Provincial Delegation, Li Shufu sat alone with Tan Jincheng who was rushing to arrive. Li Shufu looked at Boss Tan, who was used to making big moves at the beginning of every year with a smile.
A large data center exposed Tan Jincheng's career ambitions to the public's eyes. It is not surprising that data collection of the three core groups is included. Even the data plans of Meizu Technology, which just completed the acquisition, were not expected by everyone.
According to Meizu's latest updated corporate information and the data learned, Tan Jincheng controlled 80.09% of Meizu Technology's shares after the reorganization through Juliang Engine, reaching the level of full control.
In recent years, mobile phone manufacturers have become more and more penetrating into car manufacturers. Xiaomi Group has invested in shares in two new brands: Li Bing's Wenjie and He Xiaopeng's Xiaopeng Automobile.
In addition, they are also one of the shares of Weilai Auto. Rebs owns a total of 1.05% of the shares of the listed company Weilai through Xiaomi and his Shunwei Capital, which is approximately RMB 2.5 billion based on the current market value of Weilai.
The Titan plan for the electric vehicle project that Apple secretly promoted in 2014 has long been exposed. Although the progress is slow, it also has a certain technical accumulation and has a great penetration rate in the automotive-related fields through investment in online ride-hailing companies such as Didi.
In addition, they also tried to cooperate with car manufacturers to penetrate through system research and development.
Juhua Factory is also preparing for the Internet of Vehicles, autonomous driving and other aspects in the fields of communication technology and chips.
Li Shufu has reason to believe that in the future, in addition to facing competition from competitors, auto manufacturers will also not be less competitive with mobile phone manufacturers. These mobile phone manufacturers often engage in ecological chains, and it is not ruled out that they will go directly to build cars.
In the era of new forces manufacturing companies that mainly use Internet thinking, they are still in the era of PPT manufacturing, and it can be said that the threat from mobile phone manufacturers is still higher.
Imagine if one day large-scale ecological chain companies such as Apple, Juhua and Xiaomi come to build cars, according to their marketing capabilities in the mobile phone circle, how should traditional car manufacturers who are slow to turn around deal with it?
In China, in terms of marketing capabilities, the mobile phone circle can be said to be a big hit in the automotive circle. If it weren’t for an alternative Weilai, they would not be able to rob the popularity of the mobile phone circle.
In his opinion, Tan Jincheng's lightning defeat of Meizu Technology is very forward-looking, and it is difficult to beat. I will first bury a nail in your circle, and at the same time, I admire Tan Jincheng's timing and decisiveness.
After Huang Zhang played Ah Li, he could not attract a big investment in the capital circle. Meizu, who was in a turmoil, urgently needed new capital injection, but this person wanted to use the same tricks in Tan Jincheng again.
Tan Jincheng's layout is highly recognized by Li Shufu. They also want to find a good mobile phone company to acquire it to make a car computer system, but he does not have Tan Jincheng's connections in the mobile phone circle and the Internet, so they want to hear Tan Jincheng's opinions.
The Two Sessions have not officially begun. Now everyone has some time to sit down and chat or maybe have some new ideas.
"Yes, I have been mentioning it for so many years, and now it seems that there are some results, so of course I have to continue."
When he first became a representative of the RD Congress, Tan Jincheng raised education issues just to avoid some unnecessary controversy. Every year, there were many strange proposals every year, and some of them were taken out of context by the media.
He doesn't want to be the target of ridicule for a certain omission.
It is absolutely no moral problem to care about grassroots education and left-behind children in rural areas, and to give them more educational resources and care, and his initial starting point fully supports this proposal.
When he was a child, Tan Jincheng spent the winter and summer vacations in the countryside, and he was also a left-behind child.
"Yes, you have done a lot of good things over the years, and there is nothing wrong with continuing."
Tan Jincheng's little thoughts that he didn't want to cause trouble could not be hidden from the big guys, but everyone laughed it off and even said he was a little appreciated. After all, Tan Jincheng personally has been in full swing for so many years, and his family funds and corporate donations in education have been real.
Tan Jincheng can be seen in teaching buildings, basic education facilities, student group assistance for low-income families, lunch plans, Hope Project Education Assistance and other projects of all sizes in poor areas.
"Hey, just do it a little bit. Besides, my wife is basically in charge of these things now, so I haven't helped."
Tan Jincheng waved his hand and said indifferently.
Last year, GWY issued opinions on strengthening the care and protection of left-behind children in rural areas, which caused heated discussions. Many official media followed up throughout the year. If nothing unexpected happens, this issue will continue to arouse heated discussions among the representatives at this Two Sessions.
He is already familiar with him every year.
Tan Jincheng's influence is getting bigger and bigger, and he has such an identity. Last year, he ran away temporarily, and this year he was designated to be no longer able to run away. At the beginning of the year, many organizations such as the Cycling Association and the Bicycle Association tried to influence him and asked him to propose proposals from this industry.
However, he refused them all.
In order to compete for the industry's voice, companies have their own influence to influence policies in every industry. Tan Jincheng has done it.
For example, the design and shared patent rights for obtaining the green card in front of Dizi is one of Tan Jincheng's layout of the industry's voice, and some such as the formulation of standards.
Some things should be fought for, but they must be private. The two sessions have such high attention and high attention. It is easy to be taken out of context by the media and become a member of the weird representatives.
"You are smart. You mention this every year, but it has nothing to do with yourself. Even if you mention some flaws, everyone can just smile."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I'll talk to you about your ecological chain system. Can you tell me?"
"Which aspect?"
"Mobile phone, mobile phones and car computer systems."
Since Tesla started to launch a large-scale OTA on Maodou S in 2012, Weilai and Tesla, two emerging car companies across the Pacific, have begun an arms race in smart car systems.
At present, it is still to be controversial whose smart car system is the best on the world, but Wei Lai is definitely in a leading position in domestic research on smart car system.
Wei Lai acquires Meizu, while another leading Tesla is also acquiring BlackBerry.
The two major emerging car companies have differently deployed the mobile phone industry and enriched their car system. How could they not be valued by their peers? Geely’s previous strategy was fuel vehicles, but since 2016, Geely has also begun to pay attention to new energy vehicles.
On the one hand, the industry trend of new energy vehicles is becoming more and more obvious, and on the other hand, it is also the pressure of the double-point system.
The double points system is almost global, especially in the European market. For Li Shufu, who has ambition to go abroad, it naturally cannot be restricted by the double points system.
"HTC, if Mr. Li wants to acquire a mobile phone manufacturer, then HTC's team is more suitable."
Tan Jincheng suddenly understood what Li Shufu wanted to inquire. He just took the lead in some acquisitions, which was so early three or two years ago, but as long as this was noticed by those with intentions, it would not be difficult to see through his layout. Among domestic auto manufacturers, any one has the ambition to go overseas. Geely was able to almost do anything to let itself fall into trouble and even wanted to acquire Volvo. It can be said that Boss Li is very determined to go overseas.
“HTC?”
"Yes, they have made great achievements in the fields of acoustics and VR. If Mr. Li wants to develop your car computer system, HTC is a good choice. By the way, if you want to acquire it, it should be faster, and Google has also taken a fancy to their team."
"Uh, isn't there in China?"
The relationship between the two sides is relatively delicate. Li Shufu thinks that if there is a better choice, it is better not to cause trouble, although HTC sounds good.
"It's not available in China, but at present, there is no possibility of acquisition, or it has average technical potential and is in constant trouble."
“What about?”
"Coolpad and LeTV are also possible. These two companies have the possibility of acquisition, but they need to worry about their own problems, and their technical accumulation is average."
"There is Hammer or OnePlus. Hammer technology has a little possibility of acquisition, but OnePlus has almost no possibility of acquisition. They are not short of money and the company's operation is very smooth, and there is no need to raise funds."
Speaking of this, Tan Jincheng smiled: "Of course, if Mr. Li wants to play bigger, the mobile phone business he wants is not impossible to discuss."
Meizu was snatched by him. At present, the potential acquisition targets of domestic acquisitions are actually very limited. Coolpad and LeTV, Hammer is the most likely, especially the acquisition of Hammer should be relatively smooth, but Tan Jincheng of these two companies is not favored, and I believe Boss Li should not be interested.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
OnePlus is very good, but if it is possible to be acquired, they are even lower than someone who wants to.
The former China Cool League has now fallen apart. Needless to say, there is no chance for China to be. The two Cool Leagues have declined and are the most likely to be taken down. Tan Jincheng has not thought about Lian before.
No matter how well the reputation and reputation of the controllers of Lian, they are all recognized as one of the standard makers in this year, and their reputation has not been corrupted. In addition, Lian, which has almost grown up with the reform and opening up, is actually not bad in terms of technical accumulation.
Smartphones left them out of the car, but they had a lot of accumulation in hardware and software. They worked in-depth with such characters. Tan Jincheng's current qualifications are still a little bit short of money and can't get much cheaper.
But Boss Li is different. He can correspond equally to the other party.
"Speaking of this, HTC is one of my previous alternatives. I also asked President Ma to contact me for a while. If President Li is interested in HTC, I can give you information on this."
The money was spent, and the favors were paid for, but it was useless. It would be better to give it out as a favor.
"So you prepared it at the same time as Meizu and HTC team?"
"Yes."
"Have you considered the companies you just mentioned?"
"I thought about it, but I finally gave up. I just mentioned the reasons, and you also know some of the others."
Li Shufu nodded. He believed Tan Jincheng's investment vision, otherwise he would not have asked him specifically for this matter. The companies mentioned by Tan Jincheng just now have their own flaws, and he also understood why he wanted to give up the mobile phone business.
Tan Jincheng said that these two families were the best, so he had to consider it.
After thinking at this point, "Okay, please trouble Mr. Tan. I'll give us a copy of the information. Let's discuss it internally first."
Li Shufu is not a gossiper, but he learned some unknown inside story from this conversation. No wonder Meizu's acquisition was so smooth. It turned out that he had in-depth communication with Ah Li from the beginning.
For HTC's data collection, I think it is a preparation for the failure of Meizu's acquisition?
"No trouble. I'll send the information later. Just give me a designated location and the recipient."
The two chatted for a while, and Tan Jincheng stood up and said goodbye. He still had something to do. Wang Jianfeng, the founder of Junsheng, also made an appointment with him to chat before the two sessions began. The other party said that there was something serious about it and wanted to discuss it with him.
In addition to Wang Jianfeng, he also had to meet BMW CEO Kruger before the meeting, and also had to accept an exclusive interview with CCTV, which can be said to be quite busy.
It only took a day and a half from his landing to his official debut at the Two Sessions.
Wang Jianfeng is easy to find. He is also a member of the Zhejiang Provincial Delegation. Tan Jincheng represents Beicang, while he represents Yinzhou.
As soon as they met, Wang Jianfeng brought Tan Jincheng a very shocking news.
"Do you want to acquire Takata?"
Junsheng Electronics is a Class A supplier of Weilai Auto. The two sides have too many parts cooperation. Like Weilaiji's rapid development, Junsheng's development over the years is like a rocket. This low-key parts supplier also implements a global strategy.
It has been listed in the top 100 global supply chains in succession, and in 2016, it quickly promoted its globalization strategy through the acquisition of KSS company in the United States.
This time, the ambitious Wang Jianfeng set his sights on Takata, a company that just broke out. As the world's third largest airbag supplier, Takata, who had been stubborn before, finally officially admitted the fact that he cheated on consumers and manufacturers.
In terms of popular words nowadays, it is a solid idea.
"Yes, don't you ask Mr. Tan to help me."
Wang Jianfeng looked relaxed and belonged to one of the giants in Ningbo Automobile industry. Compared with Weilai's high-profile, Junsheng seemed to be unknown. The two companies have been working together for many years, have a close relationship and have cross-holdings.
In private, Wang Jianfeng and Tan Jincheng also meet frequently, which can be said to be very familiar.
Speaking of which, they first met through the introduction of Chen Yanan's father, one of his wife Gu Qingqing's roommates. Chen Yanan's auto parts factory is now one of the suppliers of Weilai, but because of its scale, the level is lower.
"If you want me to help you, it's definitely no problem to be able to help."
Tan Jincheng also looked relaxed. Progressing with his partners to promote globalization is also beneficial to Weilai.
Xiaolizi's company has been slandered for death and has gone to death. 2017 was their complete collapse. Take Takata for example. As early as 2004, an engineer revealed that airbags had safety hazards.
At that time, their approach was to order the deletion of various data and test accident videos in the computer. This news was revealed by them this year.
When the hammer is settled, you must pay the price for what you do. Airbags are not a trivial matter. It is inevitable that Takata will lose orders and trust, and sky-high compensation and bankruptcy are also necessary.
"It's nothing. I just hope that Mr. Tan can provide me with some Wall Street connections and financial support from the United States, and we can handle the others ourselves."
"Haha, you are targeting the part of the funds we have recently reduced our holdings."
Eliminating some concessions, lawyers, travel, taxes, etc., Tesla and Nvidia's equity cash out totaled $5.281 billion this time, of which $1 billion will be brought back to China to supplement the cash flow of the $3,000 million, and the remaining part will still be left overseas to look for investment opportunities.
Of course, this part of the funds is not all cash, some of which are special currencies and gold, and these valuable items are about US$1 billion.
"Yes, we want to acquire Takata, but we don't have that much money. It's not that true that you have made a fortune recently."
Unlike Weilai, although Junsheng has a huge business, its cash flow is not good, which is related to the nature of their company and also to investment. The acquisition of KSS has just been completed, resulting in a net cash flow generated by Junsheng's investment activities in 2016 of -9.023 billion yuan.
At present, all the cash and various valuable items in their company's accounts are only more than 5 billion yuan, which is obviously not enough to acquire Takata.
According to estimates, if they want to acquire Takata's core assets other than problem airbags, including steering wheel, seat belt, non-problem airbag modules, etc., they need to prepare at least $2 billion.
The method of increasing capital to specific targets through the A-share platform and injecting capital into joint consortiums has become Wang Jianfeng's best choice. Wang Jianfeng plans to raise more than 8 billion yuan of funds in A-shares at one time.
He needs the support of Tan Jincheng, his partner; of course, he does not expect or want to raise Tan Jincheng for the 8 billion yuan to subscribe alone.
In order to win Takata, Wang Jianfeng also sacrificed a lot. This super-large fundraising may make his holdings in Junsheng dilute to 33.37%.
It's a werewolf, and if you accidentally drop 33%, it's very dangerous.
Tan Jincheng was very impressed by his plan. This guy was even more cruel than himself, but he still agreed happily: "Okay, go and talk to someone, I will make up for the shortcomings."
"Hehe, I knew Tan was always a cheerful person. In fact, we talked about it when Takata had an accident last month. Eight funds, including E Fund, have agreed to participate, and each of them promised to pay 800 million."
"We just pay 1.6 billion? More than 2 billion US dollars is not much, but in this case, our holdings may exceed 5%. "
"It's okay, we just need to control it below 5%. Then I will give them a little bit, and 800 million will be paid, which is not that bad."
Wang Jianfeng said it relaxed and was extremely envious in his heart.
MD, can you pay back 1.6 billion? It would be great when I could have such a relaxed moment!
"Okay, that's fine. You need US dollars or RMB, but it's better to have US dollars, so it's more convenient for you to pass KSS."
Tan Jincheng does not want to exceed 5% of this kind of supplier's shares. On the one hand, it is because he is afraid that the supplier will feel disgusted, and on the other hand, it is also convenient for him to withdraw at any time and protect his own interests.
"Happy, then I won't bother you now. How about having dinner together at night? I'll be a party."
Tan Jincheng shook his head: "No, I have to see another guest tonight, so we don't have to play with such a false thing."
He would also meet the BMW CEO who came from afar tonight, and this guy came to find him specifically.
