Chapter 1233 Venture Capital

……

After separating from Chen Qing and them, Liu Dong did not go back to the small hotel where he lived, but took Pige to the most luxurious hotel in Ulaanbaatar.

Of course, this so-called most luxurious, in Liu Dong's view, is actually just a three-star hotel at best.

After taking the elevator upstairs, Liu Dong found the house number mentioned on the phone and knocked on the door.

After a short time, as the door opened, a young man wearing a dark blue suit and gold-rimmed glasses appeared in front of Liu Dong.

"Chairman!"

Seeing Liu Dong standing outside the door, the young man hurriedly said respectfully.

"Is Mr. Feng in there?"

"Yes, Mr. Feng and Mr. Cui are inside!"

After nodding, Liu Dong strode in.

"What a strong man!"

Looking at Pig, who walked in behind Liu Dong, the young man's face showed surprise.

"Chairman!"

"Chairman!"

Feng Jianhui and Cui Dongchen, who had already heard the movement at the door, had already stood up early when Liu Dong walked in.

"I've kept you waiting!" Liu Dong said with a smile.

"It's okay, it's just time that we can take a break while the chairman is not here!" After speaking, Feng Jianhui glanced at Pige behind Liu Dong, "Chairman, is this ......?"

"Oh, his name is ...... Liu Shan, my newly recruited bodyguard in Mongolia!"

It used to be in the hands of Khodorkovsky, but now that the other party is following him, it seems inappropriate to call it again. Therefore, Liu Dong temporarily decided to give the other party a name with his surname.

"Liu Shan's bodyguard?"

Feng Jianhui was stunned for a moment, he had been with Liu Dong for more than three years, and he had never seen a bodyguard appear next to the chairman. But look at this Liu Shanren as his name suggests. It's really strong and the same size as Xiaoshan, and the muscles are too well developed, although I don't know what his strength is, but as a bodyguard, this deterrent is enough.

"Come, everyone sit down!"

Liu Dong did not explain much on Liu Shan's issue. Let the secretary who opened the door just now take Liu Shan to dinner. In the room, Liu Dong beckoned the two of them to sit down, and said directly to Feng Jianhui and Cui Dongchen: "Originally, after finishing the matter of Daewoo Group, I wanted to leave you in China to be responsible for the establishment of the headquarters of Hanhua Group and the Hanhua Economic Research Center, but I suddenly encountered something here, and I need you to help me advise!"

Hearing this, Feng Jianhui and Cui Dongchen glanced at each other. In fact, they are also very curious, why did Liu Dong suddenly come to the 'poor countryside' of Mongolia?

It's not an economically developed place. There are not too many places of interest!

However, doubts are doubts, and soon their attention shifted to the topic that Liu Dong confided in, and forgot about the doubts at the beginning.

"Yukos Petroleum Company's 20% stake, the chairman of the Sino-Russian oil pipeline, is this all true?" Feng Jianhui couldn't help but ask.

"That's right! I've already met Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the chairman of the Yukos Oil Company! He told me personally!" Liu Dong nodded.

After pondering for a while, Feng Jianhui frowned and said: "Chairman, since the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early nineties, whether it is Russia. Or the economy of other CIS countries is not very good, although Russia has recovered somewhat since Putin came to power. Moreover, in the early part of the 21 st century, the Russian government's trend of cracking down on the oligarchy economy became more and more obvious, and Khodorkovsky was Russia's largest economic oligarch. So, I'm not too optimistic about our cooperation with Khodorkovsky! The Sino-Russian oil pipeline ......!"

Feng Jianhui shook his head with a heavy expression, "Although the strength of our Hanhua Group is very strong, as a private consortium, we do not have the strength to influence the country's major policies, especially in a society like China. Even more so!"

For Feng Jianhui's answer, Liu Dong was not surprised!

After more than three years of getting along, he also understood Feng Jianhui's character. He is a handsome man who is both stable and pioneering. However, in contrast, Feng Jianhui's personality is more steady and less pioneering and enterprising. This is also the reason why Liu Dong chose him as the president of GCA Group.

However, compared to Feng Jianhui, Cui Dongchen's talent is not lost to him, but the two are a bit opposite in personality.

Cui Dongchen, he is a little indebted in terms of stability, but he is better than Feng Jianhui in terms of pioneering and enterprising!

"Section Chief Cui, what is your opinion?"

In the face of Liu Dong's inquiry, Cui Dongchen, who had been silent before, said calmly: "The Sino-Russian oil pipeline is too difficult, and I am not very optimistic about whether it can succeed in the absence of sufficient arguments! However, the 20% stake of Yukos Oil Company is an opportunity for us!"

"Opportunity?" Liu Dong raised an eyebrow.

"That's right!"

After nodding, Cui Dongchen continued: "From a macro level, the current Sino-Russian relations have quickly entered a honeymoon period because of each other's mutual economic needs, military confrontation with pressure from the United States and NATO, and the disappearance of political differences! For the Chinese-backed Hanhua Group, there is not much of a political obstacle to entering the Russian market. ”

"And, on a micro level. Taking a 20% stake in Yukos will further strengthen Pacific Petroleum Industries' strength and voice in the global oil industry. In addition, 20% of Yukos Petroleum Company's shares are not much, and certainly not small. Just to help us test the attitude of the Russian government towards the entry of foreign capital like us into the Russian energy sector, especially the oil industry. If they don't want to offend the Hanhua Group, which is becoming more and more influential in China and even in the world, and the Chinese government behind us, then even if Khodorkovsky falls, our stake in Yukos Petroleum will not be affected too much!"

"More importantly, if our assumption is true, then the Russian market, which is rich in resources and has amazing potential, will open its arms to us! The amazing coal, iron, oil, natural gas, copper, silver, nickel, cadmium and other dozens of precious metals, and even forests and land resources will make us make a lot of money when we enter it!"

At the end, Cui Dongchen's tone also appeared excited.

The reason why this is so is mainly because the resource-rich and vast Russian market was once the object of Daewoo Group's long-term coveting, but before Cui Dongchen could do it, Daewoo Group had already fallen because of the 97 financial crisis.

"Very wonderful analysis!" Liu Dong nodded.

Cui Dongchen's wonderful depiction also made Liu Dong's heart moved.

"Chairman, Section Chief Cui's words are indeed true, but now the total assets of Yukos Petroleum Company are not less than our Pacific Oil, and if we buy 20% of its shares, we will need at least $3 billion in funds!

Feng Jianhui was afraid that Liu Dong would not be tempted again, so he hurriedly reminded.

"Jianhui, don't worry, money is not a problem!"

After listening to Liu Dong's words, Cui Dongchen smiled.

Among the three people present, except for Liu Dong, he was the only one who knew that Liu Dong still held a huge amount of $22 billion in funds that he had contributed.

Moreover, after a series of transfers, this fund has all fallen into Liu Dong's hands.

This is also the reason why Cui Dongchen's suggestion just now was more positive than Feng Jianhui's. Because Feng Jianhui didn't know that Liu Dong still had such a large amount of money in his hands, and it was cash.

Thinking of Liu Dong's performance over the years, after giving him a strange look, Feng Jianhui shook his head slightly: "If the chairman has sufficient funds, I will not object to the resolution to acquire 20% of the shares of Yukos Petroleum Company! However, when negotiating with Yukos Company, we might as well lower the price." Based on our understanding of the situation in Russia, since Khodorkovsky is willing to give up such an important stake, he must have been under multiple pressures from the domestic community, especially from the Russian political circles, and this is a bargaining chip for us to take the opportunity to lower the price!"

I agree with Mr. Feng! Moreover, judging from Khodorkovsky's initiative to sell the shares of Yukos Oil Company, he must also be planning a way out for himself. Therefore, when we contact each other, we might as well have a more in-depth exchange, and maybe we can also get a large amount of deposits for Hanhua Bank and Standard Chartered Bank!" Cui Dongchen continued.

Seeing Khodorkovsky, Cui Dongchen seemed to see himself after the 97 financial crisis. Although the time is different, the experienced Cui Dongchen can see that the other party is preparing a retreat for himself.

After Cui Dongchen's reminder, combined with Khodorkovsky's words and deeds, Liu Dong also reacted!

"In this way, Section Chief Cui, you will be responsible for talking to Khodorkovsky about the 20% stake of the Yukos Oil Company, and the lower the price, the better! But don't drag it out too long, 20 days is the bottom line, so as not to have too many dreams at night!" Liu Dong instructed.

"I understand, Chairman!"

After nodding, Liu Dong took out two handwritten documents from his pocket and put them in front of the two, "I originally wanted to discuss it with you when I returned to China, but now things have taken a new turn, so I drafted this document in advance." That's the second reason why I brought you two here!"
