Chapter 848: Exchange of Interests

……

Faced with a threat of life and death, Lonrado Alfonso completely lost his majesty and pride as the head of the family.

Looking at the look of fear on the other party's face, Liu Dong smiled indifferently, "Mr. Alfonso don't be afraid, I took the liberty to come this time, and I didn't have any malicious intent, and I didn't want to send Mr. Alfonso to God, I just wanted to make a deal with Mr. Alfonso!"

"Whew!"

Hearing this, Lonrado Alfonso breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as the other party did not have murderous intentions, then everything else was easy to say!

"What deal?" Alfonso said in a deep voice after calming his mind.

"About the gold mine deal!"

"Arica's gold mines can be given to you in full, and our Alfonso family can give them all up!" said Lonrado Alfonso immediately.

Although it was a bit breathless to say this decision, the shape was stronger than the human, and this was originally a decision that the entire Alfonso family had just made!

"No, no, Mr. Alfonso has misunderstood, I am willing to hand over all of Arica's gold mines to your family!" Liu Dong shook his head and said with a smile.

"What, leave it to us?" said Lonrado Alfonso in surprise.

That's not the right rhythm!

Who else can give up the fat that has already eaten in the mouth?

"That's right, but your family has to exchange something else!" Liu Dong said directly.

"That's right! there's no free cheese in the world!" said Ronrado Alfoncable, "what do you want?"

After smiling, Liu Dong said slowly: "30% of the shares of Iquitos Oil and Gas Company!"

"Impossible!

As soon as Liu Dong's voice fell, Lonrado Alfonso refused without hesitation!

"This damn bastard. Greedy goblins. How dare they make such a shameless request. How dare he ......!" Ronrado Alfonso put all the words he could think of to describe greed on Liu Dong's head.

No one knows better than him the value of the Iquitos Oil & Gas Company, the No. 1 oil company in Iquitos, which holds 400 million barrels of Peruvian oil and 120 billion cubic meters of natural gas, with total assets of more than $40 billion!

And how much is a super-large gold mine, even if all 300 tons of gold are dug up and sold on the market, the current gold price in New York is only 5 billion US dollars!

Moreover, there is a certain cost of mining and sales, plus various taxes paid. It would be nice to save $4 billion!

Anyone who wants to exchange $4 billion for a 30% stake in an oil company worth more than $40 billion is a fool if he agrees to this loss-making deal!

More importantly, the Alfonso family has a controlling stake in the Iquitos Oil and Gas Company, and it is the lifeblood of the Alfonso family's growth; if Liu Dong is really given 30 percent of the shares, then the Alfonso family's shares in it will only be 28 percent, and the majority shareholder with absolute control will become an important shareholder who cannot decide the fate of the company! How can this kind of thing be accepted.

"No way?Mr. Alfonso, is Iquitos Oil & Gas more important than your life?" Liu Dong's face suddenly turned cold. The whole body is even more murderous.

However, to his surprise, Ronrado Alfonso nodded fearlessly, "That's right. Iquitos Petroleum is indeed more important than my life, because it is the cornerstone of the Alfonso family's business, and anyone who wants to take it away from the Alfonso family is going to war against the Alfonso family, which has been inherited for 300 years!"

"War? I like the word, but you said that if I kill the entire Alfonso family, will anyone come to me to war?" Liu Dong suddenly laughed.

Looking at his smile, Lonrado Alfonso suddenly felt a chill in his heart, remembering the description of 'Muñoz' in the intelligence investigation, he believed that what the other party just said was not a lie, and after thinking about it clearly, Lonrado Alfonso regretted for the first time why he chose to compete with the other party for the gold mine in the first place!

"It's all to blame on the damn economic crisis!" said Ronrado secretly.

If it weren't for the global economic crisis caused by the September 11 terrorist attacks, which made the price of gold climb to more than $800 per ounce and the gold mine with more than 300 tons of gold reserves worth more than $10 billion, he would not have insisted so much on fighting with Muñoz for control of this gold mine.

Of course, it's too late to say anything!

Now the most important thing for him to think about is how to get through the current difficulties!

Now fully awake and calmed down, the wisdom that Ronrado Alfonso had developed as the head of the family gradually mobilized, and the ideas in his mind gradually increased.

"Muñoz, even if you kill all the people of our Alfonso family, you will not get a stake in Iquitos Oil and Gas Company, but you will be able to cheapen other families or forces in Peru!

In this era, oil and natural gas, as the main fuel of human society, is related to the economic lifeline of any country in the world, and no country is willing to hand over the dominance of this industry to a foreigner!

You can own part of the shares, but you must not control the controlling stake! This is basically the case in the United States and other Western countries.

And Liu Dong naturally understands the truth.

"It doesn't matter if I'm not Peruvian, my subordinates can be Peruvians, as long as I diversify my shareholdings and give up the major shareholders on the surface to others! Moreover, Peru is not the United States, let alone China, and the judicial system and market rules are far from being so strict!" Liu Dong said after a little thought.

"Peru does not have as strict market regulation as the United States or China, and it is true that it can be controlled secretly, but the time and energy spent on it is not as simple as it seems, especially in the face of a large company with deep assets like Iquitos!"

After a pause, Lonrado Alfonso looked directly at Liu Dong and said: "Mr. Muñoz, we have given up the gold mine, why do you have to be obsessed with using it to make transactions, is it not good to mine gold directly? And now the international gold price has been rising, and the income from investing in gold is very good!"

Listening to the persuasion of Lonrado Alfonso, Liu Dong smiled faintly, trading gold naturally has his own plans, except for himself, no one else can say.

"I'm interested in gold, but I'm more interested in mining than I am, and I believe Mr. Alfonso should know that!"

Lonrado Alfonso certainly knows that Muñoz, Colombia's biggest mining tycoon, controls almost half of all the minerals that have been discovered in Colombia!

His greed is extremely famous throughout Colombia, both political and business circles!

If it weren't for the fact that the light and dark forces in his hands were too powerful, he would have swallowed the fat of these gluttons into his own mouth!

After Liu Dong's words fell, Lonrado Alfonso was silent for a while, and then said with a stern expression: "Iquitos Oil and Gas Company is absolutely not good! You can mention other conditions casually!"

"That's what you're waiting for!" Liu Dong said in his heart.

He had long known the importance of the Iquitos Oil & Gas Company to the Alfonso family, and as long as he held the company in his hands, the Alfonso family did not have to worry about the family's downfall.

And the reason why he also began to ask for shares in this company is that Liu Dong intends to increase his bargaining chips, only if the initial demand is high, there will be room for counter-offer.

"Well, since Mr. Alfonso said so, then I don't want the relationship between us to be too stiff, and I can give up the shares of Iquitos Oil and Gas Company ......!"

Hearing this, Ronrado Alfonso finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but soon his brows furrowed tightly because of Liu Dong's next words.

“…… However, I want ownership of the Castile Copper Mine and Porto, as well as control of the Chimbot Iron Works, and all the shares of the 'Indian Republic Bank' in your family's hands!"

"Don't you think you're too greedy?" said Ronrado Alfonso, with a bruise on his forehead, evidently furious to the extreme.

Obviously, he was angry with Liu Dong again.

The reserves of the Castile copper mine are as high as 12 million tons, although more than half of them have been mined, but the remaining 6 million tons of copper ore are worth no less than 3 billion US dollars, and the Portoiron mine is a magnetite with a grade of 62%, with reserves of nearly 500 million tons! And the development time is less than 10 years, its value is not inferior to the Castile copper mine, as for the Chimbaut Iron Works and the Indian Republic Bank, although not as valuable as the first two deposits, but the former belongs to a large steel mill with an annual output of 5 million tons of steel, while the latter is the fourth largest commercial bank in Peru, with more than 200 branches throughout Peru, almost all over the country!

Both steel mills and banks are worth close to $400 million!

Combined, these four represent a huge asset of more than $7 billion.

And the gold mine that Liu Dong took out to exchange is only 5 billion, and the difference between the two sides is too big to be proportional at all!

Giving up $2 billion to the other party for nothing, how could Lonrado Alfonso be willing to do this kind of thing!

"Greedy, no, no, I don't feel greedy at all, a super-large gold mine that produces 300 tons of gold, coupled with the life of Your Excellency, the head of the family, is already very cheap in exchange for this little thing!"

The threat in Liu Dong's words is overflowing!

Looking at the smiling faces of the other side, Ronrado Alfonso really wanted to go up and give this hateful and greedy face a full punch!

But the reason in his mind made him take a deep breath and slowly calm the impulse in his heart.
