Chapter 1 Turn of the Century

Looking back at the time after rebirth, it has passed for a long time before I knew it. More than ten years have passed since I was born in 1983.

In the few years after he was born, he was in an economic crisis. The market value of a large number of companies fell sharply, lower than their due level. In addition, due to the economic situation, he had a lot of development potential. However, Han Xuan had no idea of ​​investing at that time, but he just became a "child" at home safely.

The real transformation should be after entering Brown University. Although he missed the era of rapid expansion of companies such as Microsoft, Intel, Oracle, and IBM, Han Xuan did not miss the huge wave of development of the Internet industry. Those companies brought him a lot of wealth, especially cash flow wealth, laying the foundation for his expansion.

The development time is so short that it seems a bit incredible, but it really happened. Because of the fact that it has enough funds and relationships, coupled with the "investment vision" that surpasses others, the rise speed is amazing!

Han Xuan has all kinds of things that others long for, such as family, career, love, etc. Han Xuan has everything he wants. While being satisfied with life, he will inevitably feel boring over time. Han Xuan did not attend the 2000 Sydney Olympics, and many people were disappointed. The external statement was that he was not old enough, but those who knew the inside story understood that Han Xuan himself refused.

Entering the new century, except for the changes in the numbers showing the age, everything else seems to be the same as before. People's memories are more complicated than imagined. Many people still remember the tragedy of the night of the early century, but their feelings are not so strong, hatred remains in people's hearts, and days are still continuing.

Due to the constant turmoil, the hawks had an opportunity to take advantage of. During the presidential election, Bush Jr. made his mark and narrowed the gap with Vice President Mr. Gore. Finally, he turned around in the surprise eyes of the people and officially entered the White House.

The era of Clinton has passed quietly, and the power of the Bush dynasty has further increased. Shortly after taking office, a bill was signed. The army finally stopped quiet. When the heavy rain was about to come, it was also a good time for many people to get rich. Thanks to the surge in oil prices, Han Xuan also made some money.

Not much, only more than 20 billion US dollars, to earn Disney, and the remaining money is invested in the Canadian Bombardier Group to develop wide-body large passenger planes and high-speed rail.

In a quiet moment, human society has undergone a transformation, wireless networks have officially been facing the world, and network speed has also increased significantly. The originally monotonous and tasteless Internet has suddenly become more exciting, and various high-end electronic products have also entered thousands of households. Unfortunately, it has fallen into a development bottleneck and the span is not too large.

There is Moore's Law in technological products, and the world seems to have fallen into a certain law. If we simply divide it, it will take a leap every ten years, and all kinds of novel objects emerge one after another. The world has never been as exciting as this era.

It is not surprising, for example, when a machine tool has a low-end machine tool, it can slowly make higher-end machine tools. After each accumulation, more advanced things will be developed.

The "721 Rule" is particularly evident in the Internet companies in Han Xuan. The so-called "721 Rule" means that a super company will occupy 70% of the market share, the second company will account for about 20% of the market, and the remaining ten% will be shared by several small companies.

Free competition will cause relatively concentrated production. When production concentration develops to a certain stage, an industry monopoly will be formed under the influence of capital. A super company has some status, but not too many. However, there are ten or twenty such companies, which seems very scary. It has been developing quite smoothly recently.

There are many well-known developments in the Internet industry, such as the "Seesaw Law", "Free Law", "250 Law", "Daviddo Law", etc. In fact, some rules were formulated by Han Xuan and are very consistent with the laws of the industry.

Take the seesaw law as an example. After the outbreak of the Internet crisis, after a round of baptism for two or three years, the remaining Internet companies have developed rapidly.

At the end of 2001, the Nasdaq index fell to more than 1,700 points, and about two-thirds of the total. Han Xuan began to buy back shares after the index fell below 2,000 points. Take WOW as an example. At the lowest point, he only held 34% of the shares and relied on different rights to control the controlling rights. Now he holds 71% of the shares, and the same is true for companies such as Destiny and Gossip.

Many investors were holding their anger because they bought it at a high price, but sold it at a low price. After seeing Han Xuan repurchase these shares, the stock price fell again and said they were glad. After all, it was not easy for Internet stocks to find a seller in recent years. However, it seems that there is a trend of recovery recently. The reason is that some high-quality Internet companies have begun to make profits and show good market prospects...

Mr. Han worked for a long time, and perhaps because he was too tired, he fell seriously ill in early 2002. He said he was too big or small, and he had stones in his kidneys. He stopped working and recuperating for several months and lived in the snow mountain ranch. Those days were particularly long for Mr. Han. He really didn't want to face his father every day.

Secretary Dawson's daughter learned to speak without realizing it. Jason also gave birth to a child, which was a boy. The next year his wife became pregnant again and gave birth to another boy, which disappointed Jason. In fact, she had always wanted a daughter before. The wandering Gabriel was disciplined very well by Secretary Dawson's elder sister Miss Alexis. Perhaps because she was getting older and didn't have so much energy, she married her at the age of 40. She was hurrying to prepare for pregnancy, and Han Xuan became their best man.

Also, Secretary Shen Yutong did not come back, and Olivia still stayed with Han Xuan after graduating from university, which did not affect her own business. She invested in a studio that designed wedding dresses, and asked professional managers to help manage it.

She is not the only one who works for Han Xuan, but owns her own company. George, Jason, Irving, Gabriel and others also jointly invested in a medium-sized casino, located on the beach in Dubai. Except for a large luxury casino invested by Han Xuan and the Dubai Royal Family, only their legal small casino, which has made enough money for retirement.

The Han's Spiral Building in Manhattan has been put into use for a long time. The name of the tallest building did not last long, and it was won over the title of "the tallest building in the world" by the Dubai Tower, which was built in 2004. Fortunately, Han Xuan holds 49% of its shares, which is also one of the Han family's industries. On the top floor of the Sailing Hotel by the Sea, there will always be a presidential suite exclusively for Han Xuan, and it will not be opened to the public even if the housing supply is tight.

At the beginning, people thought that he was a wrong decision to invest in Dubai, but the facts slapped many people in the face. When it really developed, the most profitable one was the real estate industry. Snow Mountain Real Estate and Donald's company made a lot of wealth there.

Assets are blooming everywhere, expanding from the United States to the world, and their careers gradually ushered in a second spring. Because the loss of the Internet bubble began to rebound, and it was once again close to trillions of dollars. This time, the asset structure is obviously healthier. As long as the current order of human society does not collapse, people can hardly see the possibility of the Korean family going bankrupt. The debt ratio is only about 30%, and there is a steady stream of cash injections. There will be no major crisis, which confirms the name of the third consortium in the United States.

I worry about everything, but I don’t have to worry about money anymore. Han Xuan’s grandfather Guo Muzhou has been busy for several years, and now he has retreated behind the scenes again, packaged the assets and "selled" them to Han Xuan, spending tens of billions of dollars in his name, and traveling around the world happily.

Grandma Han Xuan is similar. After getting tired of it, she also asked a professional manager to help manage Whoops Group. The company has already been on track. In the past few years, she needed to look up to the French Moet Hennessy-Louis Vuitton Group. Now she looks down and her fame still needs to be settled, but the profit has exceeded it.

The SOS convenience store is still not listed. After integration, the transportation company was the first to go public. Now the market value is as high as more than 260 billion US dollars. The scale is really scary. Not to mention that it has occupied most of the market in the entire North American continent, its overseas business is also astonishingly huge.

Now, the Han family has control over 14 companies in the world's top 500 companies and has more shares. At the annual meeting in 2005, more than 100 executives alone, and every time they reveal major news, the New York Stock Exchange will shake.

Only with good foundation can the building be built high. Han Xuan's seemingly chaotic investment method more than ten years ago was obviously chaotic, but now experts have analyzed the profound meaning and praised him for his amazing mind. If an economics and business professor often mentions Han Xuan's name from time to time, he will be considered unable to keep up with the times, and many organizations specializing in him will even appear.

Take Han’s Automobile Group, which was formed by acquiring Aston Martin, Maserati and other companies for example. Its turnover occupied the second place in its peers last year, successfully defeating veteran companies such as GM and Chrysler, which was only slightly lower than Japan’s Toyota.

When it comes to cars, I have to say something interesting that happened to Han Xuan.

As early as the 1990s, Han Xuan had the idea of ​​acquiring the German Volkswagen Group. Until now, the lawsuit has not been successful, but what happened during this period is enough to make many investors unforgettable, and the people are watching the development of the situation as if they were watching a show.

The cause starts in August 2000. The booming Han’s Automobile Group suddenly announced that it was preparing to acquire German Volkswagen and already owned 42.7% of its shares.

Unlike other acquisition cases, as long as there was news of acquiring which company it was originally reported, the other party's company would definitely be like a chicken-blooded person. The market value would rise rapidly, and the stock price would not rise by 30%. In the end, it would be considered a loss when it was acquired secretly and a shell company was used to negotiate.

But this time, when the news that Han’s Automobile Group was preparing to acquire Volkswagen came out, Volkswagen’s stock price fell instead.

A group of investors who own Volkswagen stocks were collectively stunned. The hot little heart seemed to be poured with ice water, wondering what was going on, which was obviously unreasonable.

Han’s Automobile Group is developing rapidly. It is a new enterprise with a foundation and also has the vitality of a new company. With perfect after-sales service, every time it launches a product, it is very popular and has gained a foothold in the market within a few years.

It is unreasonable for Volkswagen's stock price to fall. Of course, they would not be stupid enough to help Han Xuan, and lower the stock price and let him acquire it. The real reason for the decline is that major European hedge funds are shorting Volkswagen's stocks!

The guys who are smart enough to build hedge funds are almost impossible to be fools. Of course, they know that if they successfully acquire, Volkswagen Group's stock will definitely rise.

However, most of the acquisition of a listed company will be successful if it fails. If it is successful, of course, the acquired company will have a positive stock price, but if the acquisition fails, the acquired company will definitely fall.

Those hedge funds concluded that this acquisition would not be reached, so they dared to short without restraint. Volkswagen Germany is not an ordinary company. Just like the name of this company, it is really a "Volkswagen" company.

As early as during World War II, Hitler requisitioned the company to make military supplies, which resulted in official shares. After the war, in order to prevent the company from being acquired by foreign companies, the German government tailored the Volkswagen Act specifically for Volkswagen.

According to the German "Company Law", as long as the shares in a company reach 75%, even if the company has gained control, the Volkswagen Act stipulates that when the shares of Volkswagen account for less than 20%, the voting rights shall be calculated based on the actual shareholding ratio. When the shareholding ratio exceeds 20%, the voting rights shall no longer increase unless more than 80% of the shares of Volkswagen Company are held.

As for the 80% requirement, it is because the official controls 20.1%, which is just 0.1%, which will lead to the fact that even if all stocks on the market are plundered, they will not obtain controlling rights.

Twenty-one percent of the official shares are held by Saxony, underground where Volkswagen is located. Legally, they are owned by taxpayers across the state. If the shares are to be released, they must be submitted to the state legislature for voting. If they are not done well, they will have to start a referendum.

Therefore, everyone knows that Han Xuan is almost impossible to acquire these official shares. Even if he really goes to take them, the movement will be known to everyone. Hedge funds have always been well-informed and must have known the news a long time ago. It will not be too late to change the direction of the wind.

When people discovered that Han’s Automobile Group really began to buy shares of Volkswagen in the market, and the amount was quite large, many hedge fund traders were very happy. Not only in Europe, but also in the United States, some hedge funds came to short Volkswagen’s stocks.

Later, Han Xuan came to the EU and directly sued Germany's Volkswagen Act, saying that it violated the Fair Trade Act and ruled that the Volkswagen Act was invalid a month later. The first time since the EU was established, it has been so fast that it also reflects how powerful it is.

A group of hedge funds just knelt down, the market value of the mass has increased, and they have suffered heavy losses...
