Chapter 639: The Butterfly Effect
After returning to Kyiv, Li Yadong devoted himself to the bidding of the "Varyag", and almost every day he had to run to the Verkhovna Rada building.
This matter can be said to have been facilitated by him, otherwise it would not have progressed so quickly, several years earlier than the previous life.
But it is precisely because of his intervention that this matter has completely deviated from the historical trajectory and caused some obstructions.
This is something that Li Yadong did not expect at all before.
There are a total of nine forces that have signed up to participate in the bidding this time, and in addition to him and the governments of six developing countries, there are actually two more.
And these two shares, like him, are individual businessmen!
This incident really fulfills the old saying "you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry", and if due to his own intervention, the "Varyag", which is ironclad to belong to China in a few years, is lost, then he really does bad things with good intentions, and not only will he not become a national hero, but he will also become a sinner.
"Where did these two forces come from?
Li Yadong is indeed a little angry, the governments of six countries, he didn't pay attention to it at all, because it is very clear that they are running along, with the current political situation in Ukraine, there is the "own son" of the big brother Russia, and the world hegemon of the United States, it is difficult to disobey both sides, and it is unlikely that aircraft carriers will be sold to other countries for military purposes.
But these two private forces, he had to take it to heart.
Because of his original advantages, in front of these two private forces, instantly became gone.
Hotel suites.
After a day of detailed investigation, the background of the two forces was finally inquired about by Victor.
Li Yadong leaned on the leather sofa chair, listening to Victor's report quietly without seeing his joy or anger.
"Boss, the first force is the restaurant giant from Spain, Barmbi, and the head of the delegation this time is the company's CEO, Benita Antonia Aurora. It was reported to the Ukrainian government that the reason for the purchase of the 'Varyag' was to convert it into a luxury restaurant on the sea. ”
"Catering company, what the hell is Benita??" Li Yadong asked with a frown.
"Yes. Victor nodded, "Benita Antonia Aurora." She is also the daughter of Antonia Campo Blanche, chairman of the Babylon Company. ”
"What about this company, has it been investigated?" asked Li Yadong again.
"A brief investigation, but the information is not complete, only know that it is a large catering company, is the leader in the same industry in Spain, has a number of high-end restaurants in the country, as well as hundreds of chain restaurants. ”
"No other industry?"
"It doesn't seem to be. ”
Li Yadong nodded, if this is the case, then there is no need to worry.
It's just a catering company that can't even be called a group, and it wants to wrestle with him, but it's too tender.
Although Spain is very rich, a highly developed capitalist country, a member of the European Union and NATO, the fifth largest economy in the eurozone, and the world economy ranks very high, with such an industrial scale, the total assets will be billions of dollars, which will not be high.
In that case, how much are they willing to spend on an aircraft carrier?
"What about the second one?"
"The second force comes from the Japanese benzogen, the famous Seibu Group ......"
"Wait!, what group?" Li Yadong was surprised and waved Victor to interrupt.
"Seibu Group. Victor repeated: "Their boss has been the world's richest man twice in the past two years, that is, last year's Japanese benzene economic crisis, and the assets shrank sharply, before falling." ”
"Di Yiming!" Li Yadong squinted slightly, he was preparing for the Soviet Union, so he went to the Japanese Bon Palace, but he didn't expect to take the initiative to come to the door.
"Yes, boss, the chairman of the Seibu Group is none other than Yoshiaki Tsutsumi. Viktor nodded, it was not strange for the boss to know this person, after all, he was once the richest man in the world, "But this time Tsutsumi Yoshiaki did not come in person, it was a vice president of the company, named Watanabe Kukukura, who reported to the Ukrainian government to buy the 'Varyag' The reason is to build a military theme park." ”
MMP's, actually attracted Yoshiaki Di. Li Yadong held his cheeks and pondered.
Objectively speaking, it makes sense, because the main industry of the Seibu Group is real estate and tourism, and from the purchase of the Nagano Olympic stadiums, you can see that Yoshiaki Tsutsumi has a good experience in sightseeing and tourism, and last year, the Japanese benzene economic bubble and real estate plummeted, and it seems reasonable to deepen his other major industry, tourism, in order to revitalize.
As for the fact that he didn't get involved in anything in the previous life, I'm afraid it was also because it was too late, in 1999, the Seibu Group was not as good as it is now, its strength has shrunk, and its ambitions will naturally shrink.
This is the number one rival.
Compared with money, the current Di Yiming is definitely not as good as Li Yadong, and it can even be said that in this world, in terms of private individuals, there are few who can compare to Li Yadong.
But Di Yiming is still very rich, Li Yadong once estimated that even if he fell off the altar and his assets shrank significantly, his current assets still look like 20 billion US dollars.
In a way, it's not bad for money.
And before he and Li Yadong, he looked at the word "willing".
A "Varyag" always has its actual value, and it is absolutely impossible for the two of them to spend too much money to buy it beyond its actual value, and the key depends on who is more willing to buy it.
"Troublemaker. Although Li Yadong is not afraid, he is always a little unhappy.
Because he originally planned to bid with the governments of those six countries, according to Xu Zengping's old price, 20 million US dollars.
There is no reason why you can succeed in the last life, and you can't succeed in this life.
But I never expected to suddenly kill two roadblockers.
In this way, it is almost impossible to pick up another leak.
You can only work hard.
And hard work is very expensive......
However, then again, if you don't fight and let the "Varyag" be bought by that Barenci company, or Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's Seibu Group, then he is a proper national sinner, how can he face his hometown fathers?
The cannon I lit with my own hands, with tears in my eyes, I have to finish it!
"Okay, it's hard work, you go and rest first. ”
After Victor left, Li Yadong sat alone on the sofa and fell into deep thought.
The current situation is different, and his plans have to change just in case.
Thinking like this, he quickly raised his hand and hung up the phone to Hong Kong, and the person who answered the phone was Chen Jiaying.
"I need you to do one thing. ”
"Boss, please speak. ”
"Go to Macau, buy a casino, it doesn't need to be too big, you have the legal right to operate, and you have no relationship with the group. I will be of great use if I implement it as soon as possible. ”
"Okay, boss, I'll do it right away. ”
The phone hangs up and is concise and to the point.
The reason why I want to buy a small casino is to make my plan to buy an aircraft carrier to transform a gambling ship into a more real and reliable one, and not to give competitors any possibility of picking, so as to prevent problems before they happen.
Otherwise, your family is not involved in the gambling industry at all, and suddenly engages in gambling boats, no matter how it looks a little strange, it is difficult to keep people to make a fuss about it, and reduce the possibility of winning the bid.
In addition, with a completely independent gaming company, it seems that it is safer to buy an aircraft carrier, and it will not involve his own group, because if this aircraft carrier is in his hands, it will definitely be handed over to the state by him.
It is difficult to guarantee that there are no restrictions on the Ukrainian side, thereby implicating its entire bloc.
And it's much easier to get an independent company, the legal person just finds a small person to hang up, and even if it commits a taboo in the future, the company will just break up and go out of business.
