Hundreds of kilometers away in Wanghai, Wang Dehai sat behind his desk with a stern expression.
There were two English newspapers on his desk. One was the New York Times from the United States, and the other was The Times from the United Kingdom.
At this moment, these two newspapers were on the economic page. Although they were two completely different newspapers, the headlines of the economic page were almost the same.
Future International's establishment, withdrawal from Wanghai, or something else.
Although in Xiangjiang, Jiang Chen purposely avoided the reporters who held their cameras and swarmed him like flies. But there was no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world. The major media still managed to dig out some clues through various channels. Through various channels, the major media still managed to find the inside story behind the relocation of Future Technology's headquarters.
Linhua Group attempted to use their relationship with the local government to suppress Future Technology's business in Hua as a bargaining chip to forcefully buy a stake in Future Technology. Future Technology, for some reason, received the protection of the central government, but Jiang Chen, who already had a falling out with the Wang family, chose to leave due to his distrust of the Wanghai local government.
The domestic media were fine. Due to the influence and other factors, they were naturally silenced. Although the rule that relatives of high ranking officials could not do business was limited to their children and spouses, if it was exposed, it would have a negative impact.
The domestic media was fine, but Wang Dehai couldn't do anything to the foreign media.
But fortunately, he couldn't hear the buzzing of the flies in the country.
Because criticizing a certain country's problems had become the "political correctness" of the western media, Future Technology's investment value had always been coveted by Wall Street. All the major foreign media conducted "in-depth research" on this incident.
Especially the New York Times, the sarcasm between the lines was especially obvious. The lines of harsh English almost made Wang Dehai have a heart attack.
Standing in front of his desk was Wang Linhua. The sly old fox's expression was slightly awkward.
More than a month ago, Wang Linhua promised his brother, Wang Dehai, that as long as he gave Jiang Chen a warning on the policy side, this small fry would recognize the situation and obediently hand over the shares in Future Technology, allowing the Wang family's business to smoothly withdraw from the real estate industry.
But now, this promise seemed to have fallen through.
"How many times have I told you not to push people too far? Look at you now. Did you get any benefits after he left? "Wang Dehai's fingers heavily tapped on the newspaper on the table as his lips trembled with anger.
Seeing his own brother so angry, Wang Linhua's face was a little embarrassed.
"Ahem, Dehai, it's not that I'm pushing him too far. It's just that he's too insensible. He doesn't even understand the principle of sharing profits, and he wants to do business? To be honest, with a market value of tens of billions, exchanging 5 billion for 50% of the shares is not a bad deal for him. Many internet companies have difficulty in raising funds and have racked their brains to attract venture capital — "
"Bullshit!"
Perhaps it was because Wang Dehai had received a lot of criticism from the central government on this matter recently, but he rarely lost his usual calm demeanor. He slammed the table and scolded his younger brother.
"A market value of 10 billion? Future Technology's annual profit is more than ten billion. Based on a P/E ratio of 20 times, what do you think is the market value? Do you know what that old guy from the Liu Family told me? Now I'll send this to you. If you don't eat well, you'll be finished sooner or later! "
The words were harsh to the ears. When Wang Dehai said it, his emotions were also very agitated. His chest was heaving up and down because of it.
"I'm just thinking about the Wang family's business. Especially since the market value of the technology company can't be calculated this way. Future Technology's profits are indeed high, but that's only because they have formed a technology monopoly in a short period of time. With the current rate of technological change, once there's a similar artificial intelligence operating system or phone acceleration software, it would be almost impossible for them to maintain their current profitability. "Wang Linhua defended his actions.
Wang Linhua's perspective was not without reason. The reason why people were willing to spend 10 RMB a month to upgrade VIP1 was because of the performance improvement and battery saving function. If there was a free alternative, even if the function was slightly inferior to Future 1.0, many people would choose to use the free app.
With the current rate of technological change, in his opinion, it was completely possible.
But as an outsider, he didn't know how many brain cells were sacrificed for Future 1.0's encryption technology. But no matter how much their engineers wracked their brains, they couldn't crack a single piece of technology in Future 1.0.
It was because of this that all kinds of capitalists were so interested in Future Technology.
To Wang Linhua's explanation, Wang Dehai was obviously not satisfied. But since he had already shouted, the anger in his heart dissipated a bit. Considering that Wang Linhua couldn't be completely blamed for this since he was the one who agreed in the end, Wang Dehai took a deep breath and temporarily put this matter aside.
Seeing Wang Dehai's expression soften, Wang Linhua also felt relieved.
Wang Dehai picked up the teacup on the table, moistened his throat, and changed the topic. "Let's not talk about this anymore. You mentioned to me a while ago about Linhua Group's transformation. How is it going?"
Since the unpleasantness already happened, there was no point in being angry about it. Compared to Future Technology, Wang Dehai was more concerned about the Wang family's business. As the secretary of the Wanghai City Secretariat Committee, he obviously understood the predicament Linhua Group was facing.
It could even be said that the reason Linhua Group was able to obtain a bank loan was because of Wang Dehai's reputation.
When Wang Dehai asked about Linhua Group, a hint of pride flashed across Wang Linhua's face.
"Haha, I was just about to announce the good news. We recently received an order with a total value of ten billion USD. "
"Ten billion USD?!" Even Wang Dehai, who had seen a lot of the world, couldn't help but express his shock.
"That's right, and it's an order from overseas!" With joy on his face, Wang Linhua said excitedly, his saliva flying everywhere. "This deal has already been finalized, the estimated direct revenue is above five billion USD! The 110 square kilometers of land and 70 square kilometers of land on the side island, based on the development potential of Pannu Islands, the value of the land will at least double in five years! Without exaggeration, if this deal succeeds, Linhua Group's market value will exceed one hundred billion RMB! "
Hearing this, Wang Dehai finally nodded in relief.
Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise.
Although Wanghai City lost Future Technology with a market value of ten billion, it became Linhua Group with a market value of one hundred billion.
Expanding into the international market would solve the Wang family's business's predicament.
With this thought, Wang Dehai's mood became a lot better.
What he didn't know was, in a few months, would he still be able to smile as cheerfully as he did now?
