Rebirth in 1989: Building a Chinese Technological Empire

"Xu, of course not. I'm sorry. I told you these things just to tell you that we Rothschild have the strength to be your partner. The first thing I came here for is to cooperate with you in the communications industry. We Rothschild want to buy some of your shares in Nokia Communications..."

In the room, Owen said the first thing he came for.

Rothschild wants to buy the shares of Nokia in Xu Huasheng's hands. When Owen said it, Xu Huasheng was not surprised at all.

Because when acquiring Nokia, Xu Huasheng had already guessed that there would be such a day. It would be strange if no one came. Europe is such a big market, and this piece of cake is so big. Will the European chaebols let themselves eat it all? It's good to leave a small piece of cake for themselves. This is their basic plate, and the big head naturally has to be eaten by them.

The basic plate is like this, unless you really have no way and no technology, you can only bear to let others eat. As long as you have it in your hands, it is impossible for foreign companies to eat big mouthfuls of your basic plate.

This is the case in the United States, Europe, Japan, and China. They all talk about free markets, but in essence they are all the same.

For Xu Huasheng, it is a good thing that Rothschild can invest in Nokia. As long as Rothschild is not greedy and does not swallow up all the shares, then Rothschild is equivalent to Nokia's umbrella, which is enough to protect Nokia to quickly seize the market, quickly gain a foothold, and quickly grow.

"Mr. Xu, this time, we Rothschild value Nokia at 5 billion US dollars. We Rothschild invested 2 billion US dollars and want to buy 40% of Nokia's shares in your hands. In return for cooperation, Nokia can quickly occupy the European market, but you need to hand over Nokia's future listing to our bank..."

Owen said directly, and Owen's words stunned Xu Huasheng.

Rothschild actually only wants 40% of the shares, which is different from what Xu Huasheng imagined. Xu Huasheng thought that Rothschild was going to take away most of the shares at once.

Seeing the confusion in Xu Huasheng's eyes, Owen laughed.

"Xu, Nokia's technology should come from your Huasheng Group, right? Without your technology, there would be no Nokia today. We Rothschild have taken 40% of the shares. We promise you that the controlling rights of Nokia will still be in your hands in the future. We Rothschild will not arbitrarily interfere. We are not interested in managing a company..."

Owen's words made Xu Huasheng take a deep breath, and at the same time he admired Rothschild in his heart.

This super chaebol is not greedy. Although they will eat your cake, they also give you protection. And they don't want your controlling rights. Although 40% is a lot, it is not fatal.

This approach is really smart. It only takes a sum of money to invest in the early stage, and then the company is listed in the later stage, and Rothschild can get super rich returns.

They will not exhaust the pond to fish, but only eat a small part of a cake.

It seems that they earn less, but don't forget that they can eat a lot of cake. Eat a bite of this cake and a bite of that cake, which is terrible.

Rothschild is like a herder who raises dairy cows. They don't kill the cows to sell meat, but raise them and let them produce milk continuously.

This is true for Nokia and other companies they like. They took away some of the shares, but protected some of the rights of these companies in Europe, and then took control of the sales of these companies listed on the market. This combination of punches seems simple, but it is actually very efficient and not easy to cause resistance.

If Rothschild took away Nokia's controlling stake at once this time, Xu Huasheng might sell his shares at any time if he felt uncomfortable and no longer had anything to do with Nokia. Without Xu Huasheng, no one knows how far Nokia can go.

In fact, Rothschild is now more like an investor, not an investment company. What they value is Xu Huasheng.

Such courage made Xu Huasheng take a deep breath. It has been heard that Rockefeller and Morgan were both supported by the Rothschild family. Now it seems really possible.

No wonder this family has been able to maintain its glory for so long. Rothschild has a good grasp of the trade-offs.

"Mr. Owen, it is an honor to be a partner with Rothschild..."

Xu Huasheng pondered for a moment and said with a smile, which made Owen smile and extend his hand. Dealing with smart people has never been a difficult thing, and there will be no fuss between each other.

"Mr. Xu, we at Rothschild are very willing to be friends with people like you.Friends. You have created many miracles, and your Huasheng Group is also legendary. Mr. Xu, I came here for another thing this time. "

Owen looked at Xu Huasheng, his expression became solemn, and seeing Owen's expression, Xu Huasheng was curious.

"Mr. Xu, do you know Freemasonry?"

Owen asked in a low voice, and Xu Huasheng was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

Freemasonry, this is a terrible organization, and it is also an ancient organization. Xu Huasheng naturally knows this organization. This organization not only gathers the top chaebols, but also gathers the top human elites.

How powerful this organization is, Xu Huasheng really knows something. Because Xu Huasheng's database contains some confidential information about Freemasonry, which was secretly investigated by Huaxia for so many years, and even sacrificed many people to investigate.

The strength of Freemasonry is definitely not as simple as everyone knows on the surface. The information about Freemasonry that is now open to the public is just a disguise. The real Freemasonry is extremely powerful.

"Mr. Owen, I have heard of this name, but I don't know much about it. "

Xu Huasheng said softly, which made Owen laugh.

"Mr. Xu, there are many things I can't say. I can only tell you that if you become a member of the Freemasons, then your Huasheng Group's global business will be unimpeded in the future. What I mean by unimpeded is that you can compete fairly no matter where you are. In any Western country, no one dares to seize the wealth of Freemason members..."

Owen said confidently, with strong confidence in his eyes.

Looking at Owen's expression, Xu Huasheng took a deep breath.

"Xu, if you are willing, we Rothschild are willing to be your recommenders. With our Rothschild recommendation, you can smoothly join the Freemasons and become a member of this organization. This is a very precious opportunity for you and your Huasheng Group..."

Owen looked at Xu Huasheng with expectation in his eyes. Looking at Owen's eyes, Xu Huasheng's expression slowly became cold.
