Chapter 1246: A Call from Far Away
……
"Chairman, it's too risky now, I don't recommend signing a contract with Yukos Oil Company immediately!" Feng Jianhui said with a serious expression.
Of course, Liu Dong is aware of the risks. To put it bluntly, if one is not handled well, his $1.5 billion is likely to be wasted.
Even if the money is easy to come by, if he loses 1.5 billion all of a sudden, Liu Dong will be distressed.
As for whether the Russian government will use administrative means to swallow Yukos at a low price without restraint, Liu Dong has already understood very well in her methods against the rest of the Russian oligarchs.
However, Yukos's alluring fruit, as well as his status as a Chinese, coupled with the fact that China and Russia are now in a honeymoon period of international relations, make him want to gamble.
Even if the Russian government swallows Yukos Oil Company at a low price by administrative means in the end, Liu Dong is willing to compensate him in other ways, and he just needs a channel to contact the Russian government.
After taking two turns in the study, Liu Dong, who was half in thought, suddenly asked, "How are the preparations for the relisting of Pacific Petroleum Industry Company now?"
After the wholly-owned acquisition of Unocal, Unocal, which had only one shareholder of Pacific Petroleum Industries, naturally withdrew from the New York stock market, and the business adjustment of the three companies was later merged with Daewoo Chemical, so that the relisting plan of Pacific Petroleum Industries has been delayed until now.
"I have already communicated with Guo Kai, and the company can be listed at any time. …… Do you want to?"
Looking at Feng Jianhui's shining eyes, Liu Dong smiled and nodded. "Believe in acquiring a 25% stake in Russia's largest oil company. Such a big piece of good news. It should be able to increase the price of Pacific Petroleum Industries by a few percentage points when it goes public, right?"
Not to mention a few percentage points, if the operation is good, Feng Jianhui believes that he can double the issue price of Pacific Petroleum Industries.
At that time, the $1.5 billion that bought Yukos Oil Company could easily be made back from the stock market, and even more.
"Chairman, you are so wise!" Feng Jianhui exclaimed.
"Alright, don't put a top hat on me! It's up to you to make the signing ceremony a little more grand, and preferably known to the whole world!"
Looking at Liu Dong's deep eyes, Feng Jianhui nodded clearly.
"I want to see if the Russian government can really have the cheekiness to swallow my shares as a foreign investor without any lower limit!" Liu Dong said in his heart.
“…… Also, after signing the contract, don't pay all the money, 300 million US dollars in cash plus Hanhua Commercial Bank as a guarantee, a two-year installment!"
"Chairman, what if Khodorkovsky doesn't agree?"
"I'll give you half a month, and you can talk about whatever conditions you can. It was during this time that Pacific Oil was asked to do the roadshow. Half a month later, GCA Securities and Standard Chartered will be responsible for the stock underwriting, and they will be listed in Hong Kong and New York!"
"Understood. Chairman!"
"Oh, by the way, I'm leaving Ulaanbaatar this afternoon!
Feng Jianhui, who had long been accustomed to Liu Dong's habit of being a 'shopkeeper', was not much surprised by his departure from Ulaanbaatar.
"And our cooperation with Mr. Kulei?"
"I've already talked to him about the general things, and I'll rest assured that the specific details will be handed over to you! Moreover, now we can only sign a cooperation intention, and if we really want to sign a contract, we will have to wait until we open up all the joints of the Chinese and Mongolian governments! However, I will find a way to do this!"
Hearing this, Feng Jianhui, who understood the young boss in front of him, didn't say much.
In his opinion, the China-Mongolia Railway, which has almost zero possibilities, has the dawn of realization, what else can a young boss can't do?
"By the way, does Cui Dongchen have any news back?"
Since the battle between him and Hu Lei to challenge the limits of the human body in the wrestling tournament, after the fermentation of the news media, it quickly caused a sensation around the world, and Liu Dong has turned off the mobile phone he uses to communicate with the outside world.
The remaining other mobile phone is only known to the family, relatives and confidantes around him, as well as elders like Li Lao and Uncle Long, as well as close subordinates like Feng Jianhui, but only a few dozen people know about it.
Therefore, when he learned about the company's situation recently, Liu Dong asked Feng Jianhui directly.
"Yesterday afternoon, I received a call from Chief Carp, President Kraucek has signed a contract with Morris to acquire 10.3% of the shares of Abi National Bank in Morris's hands for $1.5 billion! Section Chief Cui has reviewed the contract, and there is no problem! In addition, he has consulted the British Regulatory Authority, and the British government has agreed to our merger and acquisition of Abi National Bank!"
"So, everything is going well so far!" Liu Dong said calmly.
"Yes!"
"Chairman, is it ...... Do you think there's something strange about this?" Feng Jianhui hesitated.
"I don't know, but Abi National Bank is the sixth largest bank in the UK with a market capitalization of $14.5 billion, is it really that easy to acquire?" Liu Dong said in a quiet tone.
At the beginning, the acquisition of South Africa's Standard Bank, eight medium-sized banks in the United States, and later Unocal Corporation, with the help of supergiants like the Rockefeller family, still took Liu Dong two or three months. Later, the acquisition of Daewoo Group, the time for preliminary preparation, and the subsequent specific acquisition, took Liu Dong nearly a year and a half.
Now, just over two months after Sally Kraucek called him to tell him about the sale of Abi National Bank, she has managed to take a 32.6% stake in the other party.
If you add the 10.3% stake in Abi National Bank of Morris & Co., which has already arrived, Liu Dong is about to get a controlling stake in this big British bank!
Moreover, during the entire acquisition process, he did not pay much more than another competitor interested in Abi National Bank, Banco Nacional de Español!
Therefore, while he was happy that he was about to successfully acquire a world-class bank, the faint uneasiness in Liu Dong's heart was also rapidly expanding. So, after receiving more and more good news calls from Sally Kraucek, he sent Cui Dongchen over.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Mongolian affairs were too important and Feng Jianhui had to be in charge, Liu Dong would have sent him over as well.
"Do you suspect that there is something wrong with this acquisition?" Feng Jianhui asked.
"It's not clear for the time being, maybe it's just my illusion!" Liu Dong shook his head with a slightly solemn expression.
"Then shall we inform President Kracek and suspend negotiations?"
"No! The opportunity to acquire Abi National Bank is rare, and now that we are close to success, it would be a pity to give up! Moreover, no matter what the conspiracy of this acquisition is, as long as we get a controlling stake in the company, we will be invincible! As for other aspects, I already have the means to deal with it!" Liu Dong said with a gleam in his eyes.
Looking at Liu Dong with a confident expression, the slight uneasiness in Feng Jianhui's heart quickly disappeared!
In the past few years, he has seen too many impossible possibilities in Liu Dong. Although Liu Dong is usually not very in charge, as long as he is there, Feng Jianhui is not worried about the difficulties that Hanhua Group really encounters that are difficult to solve.
Unconsciously, Liu Dong has become the anchor of Hanhua Group!
"By the way, chairman, the group secretariat has received interview invitations from hundreds of large media such as the British "Times" and the American "Washington Post......?"
"They want to see if I'm Superman?" Liu Dong interrupted.
"Yes, now your contest with Mr. Ku Lei has become the hottest topic in the world!" Feng Jianhui said with a smile.
In fact, when he saw the broadcast on Mongolian TV, he was also taken aback by the inhuman combat power of his chairman!
I had expected this to happen, Liu Dong said directly: "Push it all for me, I don't have time to pay attention to them!"
"Understood! Actually, we've received a lot of challenge letters from martial arts experts......
The words were not finished yet, but looking at the look on Liu Dong's face, Feng Jianhui already knew the answer!
"Okay, I'll tell the secretary to throw them in the trash!"
"There is always no shortage of boring people in the world!" After Feng Jianhui left, Liu Dong looked out the window and muttered to himself.
"Bell ......!"
Hearing the mobile phone ringing, Liu Dong hurriedly pressed the answer button.
The people who can call him at this time are basically the closest people around him.
"Elder Li, why do you have time to call me?"
"I don't want to fight, but who told you kid to make such a big fuss in Mongolia!"
"You know everything?"
"Now that TV and newspapers across the country are hotly discussed, do you think I won't know?" asked Li Lao rhetorically.
"And why did you call me? There won't be a challenge letter from me?"
"I didn't have a challenge letter, but a thank you letter was sent to me!"
"Thank you letter?" Liu Dong was a little surprised.
"Yes! Thanks to you, Chinese martial arts are now very popular in the whole country and even in the whole world, and the number of people from all walks of life and various schools of martial arts has increased dozens of times compared with before! President Liao of the Chinese Wushu Association couldn't find you, so he sent me the pennant!"
"And the pennant?" Liu Dong said in surprise, a little crying and laughing.
Although he is also a martial arts practitioner, he has never been in contact with the Chinese Martial Artists Association.
"Not only the pennant, but also the certificate, the honorary president of the Chinese Wushu Association, what a big name!" Li Lao teased.
"Don't make fun of me, you know I don't value this!" Liu Dong smiled bitterly.
"Alright, I'm not going to talk nonsense with you kid. When will you return home from Mongolia?"
Listening to the old man's sudden solemn tone, Liu Dong asked, "Do you have anything important here?" )
