Chapter four hundred and fortieth

“iwellbeback!”

In the reception room specially prepared in the consulate, Hunter DuPont opened his arms excitedly and gave Hu Wenhai a big hug.

"Dear Hu, I really don't know how to thank you. You are my lucky star! If I have a beautiful and lovely daughter, I even want to marry her to you!"

Hu Wenhai looked confused, not understanding why he was still tense last time, as if he wanted to eat Hunter DuPont alive, and then he wanted to be his father-in-law again?

I'll make up, how can this work!

He shook his head suddenly, "Good boy, it turns out that he is taking advantage of me!"

"Mr. Hunter, if I have a daughter - please rest assured, I will never marry her to you!"

“anyway—”

Hunter DuPont actually had the leisure to joke with Hu Wenhai, showing a sad expression: "This is really a sad answer. Actually, I don't mind calling you father-in-law."

"I mind!"

Hu Wenhai shouted without any grace.

When talking about his daughter, Hu Wenhai remembered the cute Natalia. Poor Mr. Hu may be confined to his homeland for a longer time this time, and the procedures and preparations for going abroad in the future will be even more exaggerated. I really don’t know that you can see your lovely daughter again in the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month.

Thinking of this, Hu Wenhai's good mood quickly disappeared.

"Mr. Hunter, your surname is DuPont. If you have any problems, let's just talk straight to the point and don't go around like this anymore."

"Ok, ok." Hunter shrugged with an innocent expression: "I'm just too excited, let's talk about serious things."

Hu Wenhai knew the reason why Hunter was excited. In order to get the bargaining chips for negotiations with Hughes after the stock market crash, he was always paying attention to the stock situation of General Motors and Hughes.

In fact, the situation of this Black Monday stock market crash is probably more serious than that in history.

One of the key reasons is the entry of the forces in which Hunter DuPont family Hunter DuPont is located. Unlike Hu Wenhai who only dares to buy stock indexes, Hunter DuPont may be based on his trust in Hu Wenhai, or he has noticed it himself. Although he is not as sure as Hu Wenhai is as sure as Hu Wenhai's time of the stock market crash, Hunter DuPont has an idea.

He believed that Hu Wenhai was definitely not an arrogant and ignorant nouveau riche. On the contrary, he knew Hu Wenhai's investment sensitivity very well.

A billion dollars may not be enough to attack the US stock market, but it is still possible to impact Hughes' stock, although it is very challenging to operate. However, Hunt DuPont believes that a person who can cheat Motorola and form a server alliance must have an understanding and application of market rules beyond ordinary people's expectations. A billion dollars may not be enough to shake Hughes' company in the hands of others, but it may not be impossible to create miracles in Hu Wenhai's hands.

Since he knew that Hu Wenhai came to the United States this time to target Hughes, and he was very eager to get the technology of polymer lithium batteries in Hu Wenhai's hands, of course, he had to master the bargaining chips as much as possible in this process.

As long as Hu Wenhai and Hughes negotiations are inseparable from Hutton DuPont's support, there will be hope for buying polymer lithium battery technology.

So during the period before the stock market crash, Hunter DuPont mobilized part of the capital in his DuPont family, and quietly shorted General Motors, Hughes, and even other companies related to these two companies.

Who would have thought that the final result was that the blind cat met the dead mouse. With Hunt DuPont's early short selling preparations, after Black Monday arrived, Hughes's stock fell from the sky to the ground like an avalanche.

With the decline of General Motors and other affiliated companies, as well as the entire market on Black Monday, Hunter DuPont, the DuPont family's forces, earned more than Hu Wenhai's profits of about 20%.

With professional financial talents from the DuPont family, the market fell by 20%, and they can make at least 7,80% of the profits.

Although the capital invested may not be as good as Hu Wenhai, Hunter DuPont's profit this time is no less than Hu Wenhai's.

But some people laugh and some people cry. Since Hunter and DuPont have made such a big profit, you can imagine the stocks of Hughes and General Motors.

For Hu Wenhai, who has always been paying attention to these two stocks, there is naturally relevant information flowing into his ears. Hunter DuPont's operation was considered a secret before the stock market crash, but it was too conspicuous from hindsight.

Although he guessed Hu Wenhai's layout direction wrong, Hunter DuPont made a mistake and made a profit of billions of dollars for the family, and his status in the family has improved again.

But everyone is rising, and Hunter DuPont has made very limited improvements compared to Hu Wenhai.

If Hu Wenhai was only suspected to be the richest man in the world before Black Monday, then after that, it has been circulated on Wall Street that he is the well-deserved richest man in the world.

In one month, personal net worth may reach 3 billion US dollars, and Hu Wenhai's conservatively estimated that it will probably reach 40 billion US dollars.

Those who previously thought that his assets in China could not be counted completely turned over. Not only did they count RMB assets into their value, but they even greatly overestimated their assets in China.

To put it bluntly, is it really necessary to calculate the title of the richest man in the world? Unless it is required to calculate it myself, the assets of the richest man in the world are difficult to accurately count. So who to give this hat to is actually the market's confidence in this person.

If a person owns a part of Apple's shares, then Apple's value will have a significant gap in the moment of Jobs's CEO and his death.

Could it be that Apple's assets have undergone any huge changes in these two moments? It's just that the market's expectations for Apple have changed, so the value of a certain shareholder has changed.

Now the market's expectations for Hu Wenhai have undergone earth-shaking changes, so his value has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

That's all.

Although Hunter DuPont's status in the family has increased a lot, facing Hu Wenhai, who has vaguely settled as the richest man in the world, his psychological advantage is not as strong as before.

Since Hu Wenhai has already vaguely sat on the throne of the world's richest man, there is naturally no shortage of speculators who come to the door to make a profit. Although Zhao Xicheng and his old friends did not have enough confidence in Hu Wenhai before, they still followed the trend and made several transactions.

After a stock market crash, these Chinese businessmen also made some money. Through their channels, Hunter DuPont's actions could not be concealed.

Unfortunately, man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. Although Hunter DuPont got a lot of chips, the Americans were scared by Hu Wenhai and revoked their intervention in Kuwait without even bargaining.

In this way, the chips in his hand lost their meaning.

Then, if he wants to get the efforts of polymer lithium battery technology, he can only change his attitude.

Hunter DuPont is well aware of Hu Wenhai's current state. After this incident, the Chinese set up a road chase in New York to stuff him back to the consulate. Then, Hu Wenhai will definitely be able to return to China in a short time.

I'm afraid there is not much time left for him.

"Mr. Hu, then I'll just say it." Hunter DuPont nodded, as if very sincerely: "DuPont hopes to acquire polymer lithium battery technology. Given that you may not stay in the United States for too long, our negotiations should be as simple as possible. What exactly can we provide you with? As long as I can do it, all this can be discussed."

Hunter no longer mentioned the joint venture, because he already understood that the methods used by capital for the founders of the company were meaningless to Hu Wenhai.

This Chinese can earn any money he needs whenever he needs it.

I want to use the joint venture to squeeze him out through capital advantages? Perhaps the final result is that DuPont is squeezed out, and it is unknown whether it is for people to make wedding clothes!

So he changed his strategy and no longer hoped to obtain the technology of lithium polymer batteries in a joint venture. On the contrary, he and the DuPont family have determined that no matter how much the price they pay, they must obtain the complete patent rights of lithium polymer batteries.

Hu Wenhai pondered for a while, and to be honest, DuPont's strength and influence, as a world-renowned consortium, is really terrifying.

He has not made up his mind to really be an enemy of DuPont.

But another problem is that DuPont's utilization is basically almost done in a project worth 10 billion.

Of course, DuPont still has many jealous technologies, but if you want to introduce these technologies, it is not enough to solve the financial problems.

After all, you still have to rely on yourself.

Thinking of this, Hu Wenhai made a decision in his heart.

He stretched out his hand and raised three fingers: "Three conditions, the first condition is 5 billion US dollars, which can be paid in five years."

Hunter DuPont nodded happily without thinking: "No problem, 5 billion, five years of installments."

"The second condition is that DuPont's scientific research system must be opened to Xinke Company. Every year, DuPont's research institutions or related research institutions must accept 5,000 visiting scholars sent by Xinke Company and arrange 50,000 undergraduate and graduate students to study in non-community universities in the United States."

As soon as Hu Wenhai's condition came out, Hunter DuPont's face was as sour as if he had eaten a bite of lemon, wrinkled into a chrysanthemum, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Hu's requirements are too high. There are 5,000 visiting scholars and 50,000 international students. There is currently no such number of government-sponsored international students in China? Not to mention the funds needed, where can I find so many schools to admit so many Chinese students? Where can I have so many positions and so many visiting scholars?"

Hu Wenhai tapped the table with his fingers, looked at Hunter DuPont with a smile, and asked slowly: "So, Mr. Hunter doesn't feel that he can't meet this requirement?"
