The things that Feng Xiaochen planned were indeed impossible to explain to Bao Chengming, because once he explained, Bao Chengming not only would not believe it, but would probably think that he had a problem with his brain. At least he was full and thought about some uncontrollable things. From the time nodes in 1995, everyone would have this idea.

What Feng Xiaochen wants to do is actually very simple, that is, to lay the groundwork for large-scale acquisitions of well-known European companies in the future. The companies he asked Hotby and others to acquire were just to cover up their goals, in the words of later generations, it was just a pair of white gloves.

Feng Xiaochen clearly remembers that after entering the new century, China's economy has been improving all the time, with foreign exchange reserves increasing, while Europe has fallen into a long European debt crisis. Many famous companies are now deeply trapped in the quagmire of losses, waiting for the fate of being acquired. In the first 20 years of the new century, Chinese companies acquired large numbers of European established companies, and obtained the technology and brands they accumulated for many years, making China quickly ranked among the forefront of the world in many technology fields.

As Chinese companies acquire European companies increasingly larger, some countries and organizations that are hostile to China have begun to clamor for various versions of "threat theory", creating various obstacles for Chinese companies to acquire European companies. Many acquisitions in their intentions have been stopped for various unfounded reasons. Some European companies are required to separate the most core technical departments when they sell, and only allow China to acquire those idle ordinary businesses.

Feng Xiaochen knew this history. What he is doing now is to lay the groundwork for future acquisitions. He registered a large number of ghost companies and then used these ghost companies to participate in some small and medium-sized enterprises in Europe to participate in shares so that he would not attract the attention of others. He currently has limited funds and cannot completely acquire these small and medium-sized enterprises. He can only take a position in these enterprises as a common shareholder.

In the next few years, he will look for opportunities to gradually increase efficiency and eventually gain controlling stake in these companies. Then, he will help these companies grow bigger through profit transfer. When the European debt crisis begins, he can use the companies he controls to acquire European established companies in his intentions, and even some American and Japanese companies.

Because the companies he owns are at least nominally European companies, such acquisitions will not arouse the vigilance of those international organizations. And when the old-fashioned companies are acquired, it will be difficult for others to limit whether they resell all the property rights to Chinese companies or quietly transfer internal technology.

If you want to make this series of acquisitions unconsciously, you must erase the traces of "China" in it, or at least make people feel that this is not a planned act, at best, an accidental act of some Chinese rich people. Feng Xiaochen asked Bao Chengming not to let these European agents know each other, just to make them unable to see Feng Xiaochen's plan. Even if some agents leaked the secret, others would not have thought that this was such a grand plan.

Feng Xiaochen began to register a ghost enterprise 10 years ago, and now he has started to invest in small and medium-sized enterprises in Europe. The purpose is to lengthen the entire process so that people can't feel the existence of conspiracy. This approach is called setting up some "idle pieces" in Go. Perhaps these idle pieces will be useless in the end, but as long as a few idle pieces work, it can change the entire chess game.

Feng Xiaochen was not so arrogant that he thought that he could rely on the power of Chenyu Company to complete the acquisition of a European veteran company in 20 years, which required the whole country to do. The idle boy he set up today was actually for others. The real acquisitions may be a large state-owned enterprise, a private enterprise, or a variety of funds that appeared in later generations.

In this sense, it may be more appropriate for the state to do this matter, such as the equipment industry company, which is legitimate. But Feng Xiaochen also has his own difficulties, that is, he cannot convince the state to invest in such matters. If he goes to express this idea to the "relevant departments" at all levels, he may have the same reaction as Bao Chengming, and he is shocked, and even suspects that Feng Xiaochen has any other ideas.

In addition, this time he asked someone to acquire small and medium-sized enterprises in Europe, which was also risky. Some companies may go bankrupt when they were not in use, and the funds invested in the early stage would be wasted. This kind of investment is similar to venture capital. 10 investment can be considered a victory. But if the country pays for it, once it fails, the person in charge will not be able to explain it clearly. Especially when the country is so nervous, spending a lot of foreign exchange to do something that is high-risk but cannot see the immediate returns is too much pressure.

Considering this kind of trouble, Feng Xiaochen decided that he could only do it himself. Anyway, it doesn't matter how much money he earned, and he doesn't need to be responsible for anyone. Now he is increasingly feeling how wise he was when he built a "limited land" in the first place. He has great power in the system, but he is also very constrained. He has some resources in his hands, so he can do things with ease.

Hotby accepted the task and left Munich excitedly. Feng Xiaochen asked him to register a company in the UK, with him as the legal representative, but the major shareholder was an overseas ghost company of Chenyu Company. After the registration of this company was completed, Hotby will acquire 10% of the equity of Linton Electronics in the name of this company, and then hold the equity in his hands, neither cashing in nor participating in the business operations of the company. He just occasionally attends shareholder meetings and gives a sense of presence.

When Hotby came to Munich, he was still a "freelancer" and soon after he returned, he could truly become a CEO of a company. Although the company was just a bag, that was enough for Hotby. Hotby knew that the boss of his boss would definitely not buy the equity of Linton because he had no money, and he would definitely have further actions. What is this action? For Hotby, he didn't need to consider. He only knew that this means that his job would be guaranteed in the next few years. In this world, what is more important than a guaranteed job?

"Lao Bao, in the future, the group's profits may be invested in this matter, and everyone's dividends may be reduced a little. I'm really sorry."

After finally assigning tasks to dozens of agents, Feng Xiaochen said to Bao Chengming while stretching his body and bones. He is the major shareholder of the group. He can make decisions on all the decisions of the group, but after all, he still needs to consider the emotions of these partners.

Bao Chengming waved his hand repeatedly and said, "Mr. Feng, look at what you said. Although I can't see Mr. Feng's intentions now, based on my experience of more than 40 years, I can also know that this is definitely a far-sighted arrangement. Mr. Feng invested one dollar now, and if he couldn't recover one hundred dollars in the future, my old bag would pick out his eyes."

"Haha, I've lost my investment. How could I snatch your old bag's eyes?"

"That's because I misread the person. However, I believe there will never be this day. From the time when did Mr. Feng start his business with me to the present, Mr. Feng made a missed decision? When I was drinking with Lao Yao, I always told him that as long as Mr. Feng starts thinking, we can rest our minds, because Mr. Feng will never make mistakes."

Feng Xiaochen was speechless. This sentence seemed to be what a senior cadre said when he commented on a great man. It was widely circulated among the people. Bao Chengming actually used it on him, Feng Xiaochen. Is this considered a slander? He thought for a while and said:

"Old Bao, from now on, your mind cannot rest. You have to focus on these companies and try not to let them go bankrupt. In recent years, the Chinese market will definitely develop rapidly. You can introduce these companies to China to develop their businesses and use the Chinese market to gradually raise them. Don't forget that we all have shares in these companies. Once they make profits, we can get dividends, which can be considered as fighting to support the war."

"I understand, understand." Bao Chengming nodded, and then said, "Mr. Feng, I think we don't rush to fatten them, but let them rot a little more, so that all shareholders will be disappointed with it, so that we can gradually buy the equity in the hands of other shareholders. When our shares account for 70% or 80%, it would be even better to fatten them."

"I forgot about this." Feng Xiaochen laughed silently. In fact, the plan that Bao Chengming mentioned was exactly what he had thought about. He just said it wrong. Bao Chengming was extremely smart. He discovered the problem at once and made corrections. Feng Xiaochen chose Bao Chengming to do this, but in fact he was attracted by his wisdom. Even if Bao Chengming didn't know Feng Xiaochen's future plans, he would subconsciously choose the best plan.

"Old Bao, just let it go. In the future, I will allocate another batch of funds to you. Don't worry, the money we invest today will definitely make great profits in the future. What we are doing is a thousand-year plan. If this thing is done, not only will we benefit ourselves, but the country and the people. At that time, your old Bao's name will be recorded in history."

"No problem. Since I followed Mr. Feng, I have earned millions of dollars. I bought a house in Pujiang and built a four-story western-style building in Jinnan's hometown. I will have enough money for the next few lives. What I lack now is an opportunity to go down in history. Mr. Feng can give me such an opportunity, and I am willing to go through fire and water."
