Chapter 1282 The dark tide is surging

……

"Of course it has a relationship, and it has a lot to do with it!" After a pause, Martin Bouig stared at Liu Dong's eyes and said in a somewhat serious tone, "As long as Mr. Liu agrees to the Bouig Group to participate in the underground pipeline construction, wastewater treatment project, and civil housing construction in Yanjiao New Town, then I am willing to sell you 21% of the shares of Abi National Bank in the hands of the Bouig Group for 2.5 billion US dollars according to Mr. Liu's request!"

After staring at Martin Bouig for a long time, Liu Dong said slowly: "Mr. Bouig, it really deserves its reputation. The ability to take my chances is truly impressive!"

Yanjiao New City is a satellite city attached to the capital, and it will be a new city integrating tourism, education, high-tech and commercial CBD in the planning.

The cost of building such a new city is more than $100 billion, and more. Such a big piece of fat is naturally much more attractive than the National Bank of Abi.

Moreover, it is easier to make a lot of money in the public service management, roads and real estate industries, which the Bouygues Group is better at, than in the unfamiliar banking and finance industries.

So, use hundreds of millions of dollars in concessions to get a super project that may generate billions or even tens of billions of dollars in profits in the future.

Martin Bouyger's shrewdness is evident!

"Mr. Liu has won the award! I don't know if Mr. Liu agrees to the request just now?"

"The construction of Yanjiao New City is a national plan, and I can't guarantee Mr. Bouig, I can only recommend Bouig Group in the bidding of specific projects, that's all!" Liu Dong said indifferently.

"Hehe, Mr. Liu, there is a word in your country's business creed that I like very much. It's called 'integrity,' right?"

"It seems that Mr. Bouig knows our Chinese culture very well!"

"Of course, I am very interested in the great and ancient Chinese civilization. The collection room of this castle also has a large collection of Chinese antiques. If Mr. Liu is willing to sell nearly one-fifth of the land in Yanjiao New Town, which is developed by the Hanhua Group, to the Bouygues Group. I am willing to donate all my collection of Chinese art, as well as more than 3,000 pieces of ancient Egyptian, ancient Greek and Near Eastern art, to Mr. Liu's Old Summer Palace Museum! As a Frenchman, I am deeply sorry for the mistakes my ancestors once made. And. I will also try my best to collect Chinese cultural relics from France and return them to China, and donate them to the future Old Summer Palace Museum!"

After listening to Martin Bouig's words, Helen, who was sitting next to Liu Dong, glanced at her lover with concern. During this time with Liu Dong, she also learned about her lover's hobby of art collection.

This hobby even extends to his interest in many of his own businesses. And Martin Bouig discovered Liu Dong's weakness that was not a weakness, and used it very accurately.

"Mr. Bouyger's conditions are truly impressive. However, I also have a few conditions before signing the contract!" Liu Dong said slowly after pondering for a while.

"Please!" said Bouig, with a smile on his face.

"First, the 21% stake in Abi National Bank, held by the Bouygues Group, must be transferred to Standard Chartered Bank immediately after the contract is signed. And $2.5 billion in funding. It will be repaid by Standard Chartered Bank in five years, and the annual interest rate shall not be higher than 2%! Second, the number of Chinese cultural relics donated must not be less than 5,000 pieces, and they must be works of art of grade II or above. Third, about one-fifth of the development land in Yanjing New Town, nearly 5 million square meters, is the proportion of commercial buildings and residential buildings. The Bouygues Group will not exceed 20%. However, the wastewater treatment project can be fully entrusted to the Bouygues Group!"

"That's my condition!"

After thinking about it. Martin Bouig said directly: "There is no problem with the second and third articles. But the first one is no, the $2.5 billion must be paid in full when we sign the contract. ”

"Why, is the Bouygues in financial trouble right now?"

"No, we're in the process of acquiring Vivendi Environment, a subsidiary of the Vivendi Group, and we need a lot of cash!" Martin Bouig said bluntly.

"Vivendi Group!"

Liu Dong nodded knowingly.

Liu Dong is no stranger to the French corporate giant. In mid-2002, the Group reported a net loss of 12.3 billion euros. When the news that the debt was as high as 35 billion euros and that it would be forced to sell its assets for cash in the next two years, Liu Dong also coveted the corporate giant.

Universal Pictures Company, one of the seven major Hollywood companies under Prestige Di, Havas Group, a world-renowned publisher, news and multimedia business, and Universal Music, the world's largest music group with a 22 percent share of the world music market, were all objects that Liu Dong once wanted to acquire.

However, Liu Dong, who had limited funds in his hands and was preparing for the acquisition of Daewoo Group, could only temporarily give up his attempt to acquire Weiwangdi Group.

Right now. Even if he has plenty of funds in his hands, Liu Dong, who is about to face a greater crisis, cannot withdraw funds to acquire the companies that he is optimistic about under the Weiwangdi Group.

"Okay! I promise you, the $2.5 billion GCA Group will pay in full, but I hope the deal will be signed this week!"

After the general terms of cooperation were agreed, Liu Dong was not willing to be verbose.

"No problem!"

After agreeing, Martin Bouig stretched out his right hand to Liu Dong with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Liu, happy cooperation!"

"Happy working together!"

After driving out of the castle with Martin Bouig, Helen couldn't help asking, "My dear, do we really want to cooperate with the Bouyig Group to develop the Yanjiao New Town project?"

"Hmm!" Liu Dong nodded.

"But haven't we already agreed to the Trump Organization? If we sell another 20% of the land to the Bouygues Group, then our Hanhua will have less profits!"

Listening to Helen's words, Liu Dong felt a little bitter in his heart.

Donald Trump, the chairman of the Donald Organization, is his old father-in-law. I took possession of other people's daughters, and I also played ambiguously. When he was ashamed of Ivanka in his heart, when his old father-in-law came to the door, Liu Dong did not refuse to cooperate with Donald Group!

"It doesn't matter! Even if we give 20% to the Bouygues Group, we still have 65% of the developable land in our hands!"

Having said that, Liu Dong believes that after the expansion plan of Yanjiao New Town spreads, there will definitely be more people who come to the door under various names. I can't say that I will have to give up more profits at that time.

After sending Liu Dong away, Martin Bouig returned to his study, closed the door, picked up the phone on the table, dialed a number, and dialed a number.

"I've done what you told me to do!" He promised to pay all $2.5 billion within a week!"

"Hehe, then thank you Mr. Bouig!"

On the other side, a somewhat young voice came over with a bit of gloom in its tone.

"I don't want to listen to polite words that don't make the slightest sense. I just want to see the results, and don't forget what you promised me!" said Martin Bouyg.

"Of course not! After this is done, we are willing to provide an interest-free loan of $8 billion to help Mr. Bouig acquire the Vivendi Environmental Group!"

"Just remember!"

"Smack......!"

After hanging up the phone, Martin Bouig, who was breathing, stood up and walked to the window, looked at the dazzling sun outside, and muttered to himself in a quiet tone: "Liu Dong, don't blame me, it's your enemy who is too strong!"

……

When Martin Bouig sighed, a tall young man put down the phone with a frowning look in a huge manor on the outskirts of New York, far across the ocean.

But when he came out of the study and went to the next reception room, he looked at the dozen or so suit-clad companions sitting in it, and his expression had become excited.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Bouig just called. The contract will be signed within a week, and our harvest time will be coming soon!"

"Hehe, that's great! I've been preparing for half a year, and I've finally been waiting for a belated communion!" said a young man in his thirties in a black suit.

And his words, after the rest of the people around him heard it, they nodded in agreement while a smile appeared on their faces.

"However, this Liu Dong is actually a descendant of the Liu family in China, if we deal with him so blatantly, I am afraid that the development of our enterprises in China will be greatly resisted!"

In the midst of the blond and blue-eyed foreigners, the only Asian with black hair and black glasses had a wimmer of melancholy on his face.

"This guy is really a bastard who is favored by God, and he is so lucky!" A middle-aged man with brown curly hair and a dark blue suit sitting next to him couldn't help but curse after nodding in agreement.

"Gentlemen, we have been preparing for today for half a year, do you want to give up when we are close to success? Moreover, even if Liu Dong has a very strong background in China, China's economy is only a part of the world economy. In addition, this time, we are using fair competition. Even the Chinese government can't keep us out of the country because of this, or they will lose important international credibility. Therefore, we may have encountered some difficulties in the development of our respective companies in China because of this incident. But the difficulties are only temporary, and as long as we win over a few more Chinese allies, they will naturally share the pressure for us. Ladies and gentlemen, the history of the past 100 years or so has proved that China has never lacked opportunists! Moreover, are you willing to back down when it is about to divide a 100 billion dollar empire?" )
