Chapter 385 Two "Sun" Dogs
Zeng Liuqun genuinely felt very uneasy.
Ningde Times currently has nothing.
Even Zeng Liuqun did not believe that Ningde Times was currently competitive.
Why would they dare to ask Meng Chuan for a 100 billion yuan investment when the factory hasn't even been built yet?
If you gave him a hundred billion, even if you gave it to a pig, the pig could become a leader in the industry in a short period of time.
Therefore, Meng Chuan only wanted 51% of the original shares, and Zeng Liuqun felt that everything was very unreal.
It felt like a pie falling from the sky and landing right in your mouth.
“Give me 51 percent. When Ningde Times goes public, it will have to issue 30 percent of the shares to be tradable. You can hold 10 percent of the remaining 19 percent, and the rest can be used as employee incentives.”
Meng Chuan's demand for 51% was also a well-considered decision.
This shareholding ratio is all that's needed.
If Meng Chuan asks for more, it will be detrimental to the company's healthy development.
Zeng Liuqun wanted to say something, but Meng Chuan didn't give him a chance to speak.
They directly sent Yingdie to sign the contract with him.
The contract was signed smoothly.
Yingdie allowed Mengchuan Capital to hold shares.
The 100 billion yuan quickly arrived in CATL's account.
Thus, Zeng Liuqun, in a daze, embarked on his journey back to Ningde Town with a huge sum of 100 billion yuan.
How Zeng Liuqun spends this 100 billion is none of Meng Chuan's business.
Because Meng Chuan is still used to being a hands-off manager.
Moreover, Meng Chuan believed that Zeng Liuqun would not be disappointed in him.
Because Zeng Liuqun is a person who truly has a sense of national responsibility.
He founded Ningde Times not primarily to make money.
Because when he was at TLM, he wasn't just in the lithium battery business unit.
He is also one of TLM's minority shareholders.
If he relinquishes the lithium battery business unit, he can receive more than 100 million yuan in equity dividends.
In 2015, 100 million yuan would be enough for him to live comfortably for several lifetimes.
However, he resolutely chose to spin off the lithium battery division even without paying a cent.
This is so that China will not be held hostage by foreign countries in the field of kinetic energy batteries in the future.
The Japanese conglomerate that acquired TLM was simply aiming to channel its funds into the domestic stock market.
In order to expedite the deal, the Japanese conglomerate agreed to divest its lithium battery division.
Zeng Liuqun had this sense of national righteousness, plus 1000 billion yuan in start-up capital.
Even without Meng Chuan's intervention, he would work himself to the bone.
With Zeng Liuqun's Ningde era resolved, a weight was lifted from Meng Chuan's mind.
Meng Chuan has acquired almost all of the unicorn companies that emerged after 2014.
This includes TikTok, Pinduoduo, CATL, and two companies from Elon Musk.
The remaining emerging companies will find it nearly impossible to reach the level of these companies.
From now on, Meng Chuan's entire focus will be on dealing with the Death Servants sent by the Goldman family.
It's anyone's guess when these so-called Deadpools will make their move.
To say that Meng Chuan wasn't worried about the safety of his family would be a complete lie.
The next day, Meng Chuan was still waiting at the fishing pavilion for news of Deadpool's move.
Suddenly my phone rang; it was a call from Old Huang.
"Why is this old guy calling me at this time?"
Meng Chuan held his phone and thought back for a moment.
I don't think I've done anything too outrageous in the stock market lately!
The only point of contention is that all of the Sun family's assets were put into Meng Chuan's pocket.
But this has been going on for several days now.
If Old Huang wanted to inquire, he should have called long ago.
"Old Huang, it's been so long since you've come!"
As soon as the call connected, Meng Chuan immediately put on a fawning expression.
Have you seen the news?
Old Huang, however, did not joke around with Meng Chuan.
Instead, he asked in a deep voice.
"I haven't been following the news! Did something happen?"
Meng Chuan frowned and asked.
"BlackRock just gave a speech claiming that global non-ferrous metal mine production has increased significantly, with new large mines constantly coming online and existing mines also significantly improving their mining efficiency. This has led to a situation where the supply of non-ferrous metals in the market far exceeds demand, and prices will fall sharply in the future."
Old Huang continued:
"Furthermore, he also released some reports stating that the global economy is slowing down, and specifically pointed out that the development of industries with large demand for non-ferrous metals, such as infrastructure construction and manufacturing in China, has stagnated, and orders have decreased, resulting in a continued slump in demand for non-ferrous metals and a worrying outlook for the industry."
Meng Chuan frowned as he listened.
"What's the problem with that?"
Meng Chuan still didn't understand what Elder Huang was trying to express!
"Isn't your economic sense pretty sharp?"
Old Huang said in a deep voice:
"As soon as the video of this speech was released, Canon and Nikon immediately began to sell off large amounts of their non-ferrous metal stocks."
"Among them, Aluminum Corporation of China and China Gold were the first to be affected, with their stock prices plummeting."
Meng Chuan finally sensed a hint of conspiracy.
"You mean they're colluding to short the domestic non-ferrous metals sector?"
Meng Chuan frowned and asked.
Most people might not know who Belle is, but Meng Chuan is familiar with her.
It is a true financial behemoth with investments spanning every corner of the globe.
It's like a shadow; most people can't see it, yet it's everywhere.
Domestically, companies like JD.com, Alibaba, Tencent, and Baidu all share a common shareholder: BlackRock.
Abroad, BlackRock has a presence in almost every well-known company.
This is especially true for some cutting-edge industries, such as lithography, aerospace, biotechnology and gene editing.
Basically, any industry that ordinary people can't handle, there's a Belladonna.
However, BlackRock is a US-based company, while Canon and Nikon are US-based companies.
The two don't seem to be directly related!
Even if there is a connection, BlackRock is a global asset management financial company, so why would it suddenly target physical enterprises like non-ferrous metals?
"Could it be a coincidence?"
Meng Chuan thought for a moment and asked.
Canon and Nikon's main industries are semiconductors, and the semiconductor industry naturally requires the use of non-ferrous metals.
Therefore, Canon and Nikon hold shares in non-ferrous metals in many countries.
The purpose is also to ensure that enterprises have the demand for non-ferrous metals.
For reasons unknown, BlackRock made a statement predicting a sharp drop in non-ferrous metal prices.
Canon and Nikon were forced to sell their shares ahead of schedule because they were worried about losses.
To say that two completely unrelated companies were colluding to set up a scheme, Meng Chuan felt that Old Huang was being a bit too sensitive.
"Who says they're unrelated? Have you heard of Asma, the Dutch company?"
"Old Huang asked."
"The undisputed leader in the field of high-end lithography machines."
Meng Chuan said.
"BlackRock is ASML's largest shareholder, holding 9.8% of the shares, while Canon and Nikon hold 3.5% and 4% respectively. Together, Canon and Nikon are ASML's second-largest shareholder."
Old Master Huang said in a deep voice:
"my country is the world's largest exporter of non-ferrous metals. Think about the subtle relationship involved."
Meng Chuan could easily understand what Huang Lao meant:
"I get it, you want me to slaughter two dogs for you to eat, right? Fine, I won't negotiate with you about killing Japanese dogs."
Huang Lao: ...
"I asked you to keep an eye on things and prevent Japanese companies from maliciously shorting them..."
