Chapter 1302: Reuniting
Chapter 1302 Reunite
……
"Bang......!"
The loud noise startled Wells, who was next to him with low eyebrows.
But looking at the table next to him that was kicked over by Chris Stillman, he had to walk up quickly to straighten it. Then put the tape recorder back on the table.
"Wells, where did Rofitte go today?"
"The young master went to the Poseidon yacht with a few friends in the evening!" Wells said hurriedly.
"Let him come to me at once!"
Looking at the furious Chris Stillman, Wells nodded quickly and walked out quickly.
At this time, Liu Dong, who had already left the villa, finally turned around and glanced at the huge manor behind him, smiled slightly, got into the luxury car that had been waiting next to him, and then left.
It turns out that when it comes to making big decisions, the talented and decisive conglomerates are often more efficient than most people think.
When Feng Jianhui came back with the contract signed according to Liu Dong's instructions, there was still a trace of disbelief on his face.
Unbelievable indeed!
BHP Billiton Australia is the world's largest resources company mainly engaged in oil and minerals. Operating in 20 countries around the world, the main products are iron ore, coal, copper, aluminum, nickel, petroleum, liquefied natural gas, magnesium, diamonds, etc. In the 2003-2004 financial year, the company achieved net income of $34.087 billion, ranking first on the list of Australia's top 10 companies. The company is a super resource giant with a total market capitalization of $58.3 billion.
Now Liu Dong actually took a 27.5% stake in BHP Billiton from the Stillman family, which is known for its greed, for only $10 billion, and it was paid off in two years, without paying interest?
This is unbelievable for any sane and normal economic person! But Liu Dong, that is, his young boss, has done it!
"Signed?" noticed Feng Jianhui coming in. Liu Dong asked with a smile.
"Yes, this is the text of the contract!"
As he spoke, Feng Jianhui took out the contract from his briefcase and handed it to Liu Dong.
After taking it, Liu Dong just took a few glances and put it aside.
"Let's announce to the media that Standard Chartered Bank's investment division has acquired a 25.7% stake in BHP Billiton in Australia! ”
"Yes. Chairman!" Feng Jianhui opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't ask anything.
Liu Dong also saw Feng Jianhui's expression, but the matter with the Stillman family was too secret, even if he trusted Feng Jianhui, he couldn't tell the matter.
After all, this is a big event that can shake off the world, especially at this moment when the United States is fighting a fierce war in Afghanistan.
Feng Jianhui, who hesitated, said goodbye and left after Liu Dong did not say more. He has a sense of proportion, knowing what Liu Dong doesn't tell him, it's best not to ask.
It's quiet yet noisy. The biggest difference between modern humans and their ancestors is that the dark, lonely, and bleak night has become colorful.
After getting out of the car, looking at the gorgeous and huge Sea Emperor Poseidon Super Cruise in front of him, Liu Dong inevitably showed a trace of nostalgia on his face.
When he first came here with Steven Rockefeller, he was still attracted by the luxurious décor and the extravagant life of American high society. And it's a little trembling and uncomfortable.
He was at that time. Although there is already a lot of money in his pocket, he is more like a poor boy from the countryside who suddenly breaks into a more colorful world.
Andrew Morgan. Steven Rockefeller, Clark Ford, Rutgers Dupont, Matthew Mellon, the indifference and contempt of the descendants of these American conglomerates. For the first time, Liu Dong made up his mind to form a consortium and make himself a business wizard who could be compared with them.
Since then, he has acquired a huge loan from the Rockefeller family through the map, a huge amount of money won from participating in boxing tournaments, mergers and acquisitions, and formed the present. Standard Chartered Bank Group has been increasingly compared to world-class banking giants such as Citigroup, ********, Guofu Bank, Ruiyang and HSBC!
Then, through a loan from Standard Chartered and a portion of the money provided by the Columbia Group, which Muñoz had worked hard to establish all his life, Liu Dong acquired Swire Hong Kong.
This merger and acquisition once again caused his assets to skyrocket, and Cathay Pacific Airways, Global Trade, Shangyuan Group, Lejia Group, a series of internationally renowned companies, appeared under the umbrella of GCA.
Since then, the foundation of Liu Dong's business empire has become more and more solid, and Oriental Iron and Steel Group, Daewoo Group, Pacific Petroleum Industry Company, Matrix Media Group, ICQ Internet Company, and Oriental Resources Group, a series of industry giants with assets of more than 10 billion US dollars, have appeared under Hanhua's banner.
Coupled with the existence of a series of super companies, such as the earliest Dongchao Group, Jiahua Group and Huayang Group, which appeared in Liu Dong's hands, has also given today's Hanhua Group a strength that is enough to compete with any business giant in the world.
Looking back on the past, standing in front of the 'Poseidon' cruise ship that made his thinking change dramatically, Liu Dong's heart was extremely complicated.
If it weren't for the experience he had here, perhaps Liu Dong would still have embarked on the path of building a business empire. But that would never have happened in 2001, when he was still thinking more about raising funds to rebuild the Old Summer Palace.
Business is only second in Liu Dong's mind!
"Liu, since you've arrived, why don't you go in?"
Just when Liu Dong was standing by the escalator of the boarding ship with a lot of emotion in his heart, a familiar and somewhat unfamiliar voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Mr. Morgan!"
After turning his head and seeing the young man standing behind him in a straight suit, Liu Dong said calmly.
"Liu, when we met here two years ago, you weren't as polite as you are now! Could it be that after more than two years of not seeing each other, we have become so strange?" Andrew Morgan smiled and strode over.
"Of course not, but the Morgan family's door fence is too high, I'm afraid I won't be able to climb high!" Liu Dong said with a slight joke.
"The Morgan family's door bar is high, but your Liu family is not inferior at all! Moreover, with your current identity and strength Liu, it is enough to be respected by anyone in the world!"
"Andrew, I didn't expect this kind of words to come out of your mouth!"
Just as Liu Dong was about to answer, a familiar voice interjected again.
"Matthew, I learned this from you!"
Maybe Liu Dong still has to look at people to get to know him, but Andrew Morgan knows who is coming just by listening to the voice!
Matthew Mellon didn't rush to answer the old guys who competed with each other and had a good relationship, but strode up, looked Liu Dong up and down, and then stretched out his right hand to the other party, "Liu, your performance over the past two years is really impressive!"
"Thank you!" After shaking the other party's hand briefly, "I'm not as good as you, so except for a little harder, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to stand here again!"
"Let's go up and talk about it, or it's not polite to stand in the doorway and block the way of others!" said Andrew Morgan.
"Of course, I don't want our figure to appear in the third-rate tabloids in the United States tomorrow!" Matthew shrugged.
Liu Dong did not speak, but he expressed his approval with practical actions.
Along the escalator connecting the cruise ship, the three of them walked onto the deck of the cruise ship with a smile in the eyes of everyone around them. Then he entered the glorious and luxurious banquet hall that Liu Dong was once familiar with.
The bustle of people coming and going in the hall is the same as the scene when Liu Dong first came here, the only thing that has changed is that when the people around him saw him walking with Andrew Morgan and Matthew Mellon again, there was no curiosity and inquiry in their eyes, but more attention and eagerness!
And these concerns and desires once again made Liu Dong understand that now he has become the existence that business people want to communicate, and he has really lost his low-key qualifications.
When the three of them stepped onto the second floor together, the world-class magnates or the children of the consortium who were already sitting here looked at the three of them.
"Andrew, Matthew, Liu, how did the three of you get together?"
"Clark, isn't it weird? the three of us were friends!" said Matthew Mellon, putting his arm on Liu Dong's shoulder.
Regarding his deliberate closeness, Liu Dong just raised his eyebrows and didn't say much. More than two years of experience and lessons are enough for Liu Dong to understand that in this kind of drunken place, there is no real friendship at all.
Everyone came here, more for fun, and by the way, to contact the feelings!
Even if it's the heir to the Morgan and Rockefeller families, that's people. No matter how lofty their status is, they need their own social circles and playgrounds to pass the time of boredom.
"Friend?" the mocking look in Clark Ford's eyes flickered.
If you really want to talk about friends, even if he has a little unpleasant trouble with Liu Dong because of Daewoo Motors, he is far more like Liu Dong's friend than Matthew Mellon, who has not had much contact for more than two years.
"We're all friends here, so let's sit down and have a drink together!" said Rutgers Dupont with a glass in his hand.
