Chapter 364: Conspiracy
"You guys come up with a plan in the next two days to see how much money you need to use, I'll open a special account here and leave it to you to ......operate," Cao Mo groaned for a while, and said to Jiaying and them.
"We're brothers and sisters, but we also have to settle accounts - we have to make the commission clear in advance. Cao Jiaying began to have the thinking of company operation, and she regarded the matter in front of her as a new business of Wood Elephant Capital.
"If you can ensure that the loss is controlled within 10%, then I guarantee that you can get 2% of the management fee, and if you make a profit, I will still pay you a dividend of 20%. Cao Mo smiled.
If you want to smash Taihua's stock price to the floor price, as long as you have enough funds, anyone who knows a little bit about financial securities investment can easily do it, but even if Cao Mo wants to find the Lu family's unhappiness and avenge the tragedy of Zhou Han's family back then, it can't be said that he doesn't treat money as money at all.
Considering that the Lu family mortgaged all the shares in their hands, they must also pay special attention to the abnormality of Taihua's stock price, and may even secretly prepare a part of the funds to protect the disk, he transferred a part of the funds to enter the market at this time, to circumvent laws and regulations, to fight with the Lu family's disk protection funds in the market, and to smash Taihua's stock price at the lowest possible loss, this requires a professional team to operate.
"How much money can you give us to operate?" Cao Jiaying asked.
"Taihua's current market value is 4 billion, and we must try not to break through the 5% limit when we open a position - if your plan is suitable, Tianyue will first open a special account with a limit of 200 million for you to operate. Cao Mo said.
Wu Ruifang and Cheng Xin glanced at each other, ensuring that the loss amount was controlled within 40 million, and they could get at least 4 million commissions, and this transaction was completely worth doing.
Of course, they are still deeply shocked by everything in front of them, just to find a competitor's unhappiness, they take out 200 million funds, and they don't even mind losing 30 or 50 million, they really don't understand the world of local tyrants, and there are really people who can't get along with money?
How proud is Cao Jiaying's family, so incompatible with the Lu family in Taihua?
Wu Ruifang and Cheng Xin are determined to specialize in securities investment, and they still have some clarity about Taihua Group, Xintaihua Investment and the Lu family.
............
............
Although Cao Mo has been in China for a short time, he still has a special office here.
Walking out of the tea and book bar, through the brightly lit aisle, his office is the southernmost lake.
Time is in a hurry, and no one knows whether Taihua's stock price will fall directly out of a deep pit tomorrow, and they must prepare as soon as possible.
Cao Jiaying left with Wu Ruifang and Cheng Xin, and returned to the company with a bunch of materials to study and formulate specific strategies, while Cao Mo returned to the office to sit.
At this time, the autumn day is slightly sloping, and the sunlight shines in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the light is not too dazzling.
Cao Mo secretly thought in his heart.
The Lu family is not familiar with several financial investment institutions that mortgage lending, except for Han Shaorong's Huamao Investment, and Cao Mo is not familiar with them, so it is not clear what the relationship between the Lu family and these financial investment institutions is.
In addition to these financial investment institutions accepting shares of Taihua Group as collateral loans, the Lu family also mortgaged and borrowed more than one billion yuan through other channels in order to raise the funds needed for Conero Binhai New City and related projects, and most of the creditor's rights involved behind this are also unfamiliar to Cao Mo.
In the past, Zhou Han has also been trying to collect more information, but the information published is very limited.
In addition to not mentioning these creditors and institutions, Cao Mo felt that Han Shaorong, Volkov Investment, Banco Nacional, and the Oppenheimer family would all be involved.
Han Shaorong and the Oppenheimer family are not good at stubble, and the Banco Nacional Ultramarino, which lurks behind Volkov's investment and the Oppenheimer family, is even more ill-intentioned.
To be honest, Cao Mo didn't want him to beat the water dogs, but asked Han Shaorong and these people to pick up the cheap, and he hoped that when Han Shaorong, the Oppenheimer family and the Bank of the Atlantic showed their hideous fangs to the Lu family and the Taihua Group, he would be able to make a profit.
But how can this be done?
Cao Mo wrote a personal name and company name on the whiteboard, sat on the sofa, stared at this personal name and company name, and thought and weighed.
It was late when Zhou Han knocked on the door with Song Yuqing and walked in.
"Sister Yuqing, where have you been in the afternoon, why haven't you seen anyone?" Cao Mo asked, "My sister came to the company in the afternoon, and I want to introduce you to the official acquaintance." ”
"......" Song Yuqing pursed her lips slightly, she was very in love with Cao Mo in her heart, but whether it was her and Zhou Jun's unclear relationship, or Cao Mo's childhood sweetheart and Cheng Xi's childhood sweetheart, the relationship was more stable, so she was reluctant to get too involved in Cao Mo's family life.
Song Yuqing knew that Cao Jiaying and the others were coming over in the afternoon, so she deliberately ran to the factory below to avoid meeting.
Looking at Song Yuqing's watery and talkative eyes, Cao Mo grabbed her soft little jade-like hand, and could think of what she was thinking, so she diverted the topic and told her about preparing to transfer some funds to absorb Taihua stocks.
"Since you have decided to leave this matter to your sister to operate, why are you worried?" Song Yuqing stood next to the sofa, looking at the messy writing on the whiteboard, full of people's names, company names, and various pointing arrows.
"Jiaying and they can only take on part of the professional work," Cao Mo said, "Whether we can take a bite of fat this time, or simply throw tens of millions of dollars to have a good time, there are many things to consider." ”
"If you throw tens of millions of dollars to make a good time, someone will be more grateful to you. Song Yuqing glanced at Zhou Han and said with a meaningful smile.
Zhou Hanmei glanced at Song Yuqing with beautiful eyes, walked to the whiteboard, took a marker to circle the name of "Sturgeon Foster", and drew a wavy line under the words "Bank of the Atlantic", and said:
Even though the Lu family mortgaged their equity in the Xintaihua refinery and borrowed $80 million from the Bank of the Atlantic, Lu Jianchao and Huang Hebin still had not figured out the relationship between the Volkov Investment Company and the Bank of the Atlantino and Sturgeon Foster, and they thought that the loan was made by them with great effort and means. The information I have collected during this period shows that Banco Nacional Nacional has been actively shrinking its international business in the past six months, which shows that Sturgeon Foster and the senior management of Banco Nacional Ultramarino have realized that the spread of the subprime mortgage crisis may have a huge impact on the global economy half a year ago. In this case, Banco Nacional Ultramarino also took the initiative to lend to New Taihua, and Volkov Investment was so active in promoting the construction of the new Cornello Marina City, and promoted the rapid completion of a number of projects, it is very likely that two years ago, the Taihua Group was already the target of Sturgeon Foster......
Cao Mo propped her arms on the armrests of the sofa, holding her cheeks and staring at the whiteboard:
Yan Zhicheng lurked beside Lu Jianchao and them, and seemed to be responsible for managing the casino part of the new Taihua Resort Hotel for the Lu family, and did not interfere in other affairs, but the information passed on was very crucial.
In this way, it is not difficult to guess what they are planning for Sturgeon Forster, or what is most worthy of Sturgeon Foster's great attention in the industrial map on the south bank of Conero.
Of course, the continent's crude oil and refining plates do exude a thrilling temptation!
Crude oil futures prices have fallen rapidly after briefly hitting their all-time highs, and even once the subprime mortgage crisis spreads, hitting global consumer demand hard, it will further hit oil prices, but oil has always been the black gold flowing deep in the land of West Africa.
Even when oil prices were at their lowest, oil continued to bring huge wealth to countries such as Kanem, Benin, and Akwa - which is also the main source of foreign exchange for West African countries.
The oil of Kanem, Akwa and other countries does not include taxes, capital costs, transportation and storage, etc., and only the extraction cost is less than $10 per barrel.
Another cruel fact is that Kanem and other countries export crude oil to bring huge revenues, but the domestic industrial development is seriously lagging behind, and most of the fuel oil needs in China have to rely on imports from overseas.
This also means that Volkov is in control of the Atlantic United Oil Trade and Transportation Company, and it is far from enough to control only one link in the upstream crude oil trade chain, and he cannot eat the fattest part of the crude oil trade chain.
They also need to master the downstream refining capacity before they can continue to extract unimaginable excess profits in a land where crude oil extraction costs are extremely low and there is a stable high price differential between crude oil and fuel oil.
Lu Jianchao originally intended to build an oil refinery on the south bank of Lake Conero, and his idea was not wrong, but they were in a hurry, and they were too accustomed to following crooked paths, so they chose to cooperate with the Jidam family and the Brotherhood of Steel Fist, so that after several twists and turns, even the first phase of the refinery, which had the most rudimentary technology, was only completed at this time.
If Kanem's oil exports and economy are hit by the subprime mortgage crisis, it will be difficult to make a profit in the first phase of the Xintaihua refinery, which is built with the goal of digesting smuggled crude oil, and the first phase of the Xintaihua refinery, which is built with the goal of digesting smuggled crude oil, will hardly be profitable.
Although Taihua Group is not directly engaged in the refining and chemical industry, it is involved in oil trade and sales in the early years, and later involved in oil pipeline engineering and chemical machinery and equipment manufacturing.
However, in recent years, China has been strengthening the monopoly operation of central enterprises in the fields of crude oil exploitation, refining, oil transportation, and sales, and Taihua cannot guarantee that the original domestic business scale will not shrink.
Taihua wants to break through and find new development, either domestic transformation focuses on developing other more promising (money) new businesses, or goes abroad to operate related businesses overseas.
From this point of view, if Sturgeon Foster had the opportunity, he would never mind taking control of the listed company Taihua Group.
However, the state has strict control over the entry of foreign capital, and will not casually indulge foreign capital to directly control domestic listed companies.
Direct control is not enough, and if Sturgeon Foster really wants to secretly control the Taihua Group, he can only find a suitable collaborator.
As long as the interests are right, Cao Mo thinks that Han Shaorong probably won't mind becoming a collaborator of Sturgeon Foster.
Cao Mo can now also sort out his thoughts in general:
Since Sturgeon Foster, Han Shaorong and Niz Oppenheimer all know that they are incompatible with the Lu family, and they will definitely fall into the well if they seize the opportunity, then he might as well smash the first giant on the heads of Lu Jianchao and Lu Jiancheng through Wood Elephant Capital at the right time, stirring up the situation, which can also be said to be to startle the snake.
However, after luring Han Shaorong, Sturgeon Foster and Niz Oppenheimer and others to expose their hidden intentions, how to maximize their interests, rather than sit back and watch Han Shaorong, Sturgeon Foster and Niz Oppenheimer get their liking, is the key to the key.
Cao Mo is not a stingy person, Niz Oppenheimer or Sturgeon Fosterdeli, who has nothing to do with them, but if he sees Han Shaorong can take advantage of the fisherman, he will be more or less awkward for a while......

Cao Mo was worried about calculating Lu Jianchao's group, and Shen Ji's phone called:
"Where are you and have time to meet in the afternoon?"
"We just met yesterday, and you miss me again so soon?" Cao Mo said with a smile, telling Shen Ji that he was at the Tianyue headquarters, and asked Shen Ji to come over and say something directly.
"You threw me at the airport yesterday, didn't you go all over the world with your childhood sweetheart's little girlfriend, how could you meet Shen Ji? Xinhai has a population of more than 20 million, it's not that small, right?" Zhou Han asked curiously.
"The world is sometimes so small, and I don't have a problem," Cao Mo said, "Cheng Xi has a colleague who got married yesterday, and the groom who married is still the son of a vice president of Xinlian Bank, I went directly to the wedding after I got off the plane yesterday, and I happened to meet Yu Yiming, chairman of Xinlian Bank, Li Xiaodong, president and others - Dongsheng may be really short of money now, Ding Zhaoqiang not only attended the wedding yesterday, but also asked Yu Yiming and Li Xiaodong to play cards at the groom's parents' house early. ”
"Look at it, everyone is already in and out of the right way, and they don't know where they forgot you. Zhou Han and Song Yuqing "sow discord".
"Cheng Xi is a very pure girl, no matter how unbearable Cao Mo was before, and how big the gap between her and her in the eyes of outsiders is, it is not an important thing in her eyes. To be honest, I can't do this-" Song Yuqing had long known about the matter between Cao Mo and Cheng Xi, she couldn't afford to be jealous, put her arm around Zhou Han's shoulder, and said jokingly, "What do you have of your own thoughts, you have to plant it on my head-"
"How could I have any ideas, and he has nothing to do with me?" Zhou Han said.
"Then you're still babbling on and on since yesterday?" Song Yuqing asked.
"How can I have it? Of course, Zhou Han flatly denied it.

Shen Ji quickly rushed over, walked into Cao Mo's office, saw the densely written things on the whiteboard, and asked, "Who are you trying to calculate?"
"As long as I don't calculate the Ding family and Dongsheng," Cao Mo smiled and asked Shen Ji to sit down, and told Shen Ji about his meeting with Ge Jun in the morning, as well as his plan to transfer a sum of money to gradually buy shares of Taihua Group from the open market, and also hoped that Shen Ji would be responsible for contacting the financial investment institutions that held Taihua and New Taihua's creditor's rights." Even if it is impossible for us to take over the shares of the listed company mortgaged by the Lu family from these financial investment institutions, if we have the opportunity, we must fight for a chance to make an offer, and we can't let Han Shaorong and them pick up a bargain. ”
"At this stage, you are purely unhappy with the Lu family, even if you have the intention of startling the snake, it is difficult to say whether it will achieve good results, Dongjiang Securities and Qian Wenhan will definitely not play with you. However, if there is a real opportunity to seize the controlling stake of Taihua Group, Dongjiang Securities has strict risk control management, and may not be involved in it, but I believe that Qian Wenhan can talk about it," Shen Ji said, "Qian Wenhan came forward to communicate with these financial investment institutions, which is much more effective than me, but I will also help you keep an eye on this matter." The question is, how much money do you plan to spend to do this?"
In the first half of this year, stimulated by the sharp rise in international gold prices, the profits of Ibogu Mining Group are amazingly good, on the other hand, Kanem and other countries have also benefited from the sharp rise in international crude oil prices, and they have been confident in pulling domestic infrastructure construction on a large scale, resulting in the price of finished cement rising to a high of 300 US dollars per ton again, and the net profit of Conero cement from August to August was close to 200 million US dollars.
At the same time, Qian Wenhan and Xinhai Gold injected funds to support the construction of the second phase of the first mine of the Wusanhe Copper and Gold Mine, which made Yibogu Mining and Conero Cement only two companies hoard $300 million in cash so far.
Cao Mo previously transferred part of the shares of the Gulf of Guinea Shipping and Mining Company and projects such as the Fagne River Gold Mine to Qian Wenhan and Xinhai Gold, and received nearly one billion yuan in funds.
Even if a considerable part of this part of the funds has been invested in bonds and trusts, they are all reliable financial assets that can be cashed out in the short term.
Now that Dongsheng is under too much financial pressure, Ding Zhaoqiang can't wait to urge Shen Ji to come over to Cao Mo to talk about financing.
It is impossible for Shen Ji not to come to Cao Mo, he also knows that Cao Mo has a lot of funds in his hands, but now the question is, Cao Mo not only wants to snipe Taihua's stock price from the open market, but even intends to fight for a controlling stake in Taihua Group, how much capital does this need to prepare, and how much money can be transferred to alleviate the crisis that Dongsheng is facing at this time?
"This is just a preliminary idea, how to do it is not necessarily? Besides, Lu Jianchao and Lu Yan hate me one by one, they would rather cheapen others than let me succeed easily," Cao Mo smiled, "Tell me what Dongsheng's plan is first, right?"
Hearing Cao Mo ask this, Shen Ji seemed to be constipated, and twisted for a while before saying: "The board of directors of Dongsheng is proposing a plan, but even if I don't think you will accept it, I have to come over and convey it in the center......"
"Dongsheng doesn't plan to borrow one billion and eight billion from me and pay me a dozen points of interest every year, right?" Cao Mo asked in surprise.
Shen Ji nodded with a wry smile and said, "My uncle thinks that you may not accept it, but Dong Chengpeng and the other two major shareholders are quite insistent, so let me come over and ask your opinion first." ”
Song Yuqing and Zhou Han looked at each other, they all knew that Dong Chengpeng secretly had a close relationship with Han Shaorong, but they didn't know if his tough statement on the board of directors of Dongsheng at this time had anything to do with Han Shaorong.
Cao Mo frowned and said, "That is, there is no need to talk about it." According to me, you can either come directly to help me manage Tianyue Investment - your current net worth of 99% is here, so you don't have to be caught in the middle of it. ”
"Even if I promise you, I will have to wait for Dongsheng to overcome the difficulties in front of me," Shen Ji hugged his head and leaned on the sofa and sighed, "Before you returned to China, I talked to Ge Jun, and he was very optimistic about the next situation, and the spread of the subprime mortgage crisis is indeed getting more and more serious." Speaking from the heart, Dongsheng real estate is a good project, the real estate is built is a high-quality product, and my uncle has the ambition to become a first-class real estate developer. It is precisely so, in July, there was no opportunity to make a decision, missed the opportunity to reduce the price promotion, now even if you can ruthlessly lower the house price, I estimate that the effect will not be too good, after all, there are too many real estate projects around the country to reduce the house price, and the sales office has been smashed several, and the minds of ordinary people have formed a deep impression that the house price is falling, and they will be even more reluctant to buy. Now the speed of Dongsheng's capital withdrawal is far from being consumed, if there is no new capital to add in, once there is a cut-off, the problem will be really serious......"
