Chapter 1373 National Museum of India

……

Even more bizarrely, even when corruption scandals come to light, the officials involved are often unharmed.

Brazilian law provides for criminal immunity for senators, thus allowing those who commit acts of corruption to be immune from charges and prosecution for a certain period of time. Moreover, there is no death penalty in Brazil, with a maximum penalty of 25 years' imprisonment, a complex justice system that allows for almost unlimited appeals, and cumbersome judicial procedures that result in the closure of many major corruption cases.

Therefore, even notoriety does not stop a politician's political career. According to statistics, in 2003, nearly one-third of the members of Brazil's Senate and Chamber of Deputies had been sentenced or were facing criminal charges.

Former Brazilian President Fernando Collor, who was impeached for corruption in 1992 and later returned to the Senate, was also a lawmaker whose father shot another politician in 1963 but was never tried.

Moreover, there is basically no recovery system for corruption crimes in Brazil, and once many corrupt officials embezzle public funds and accept bribes, they will at most be removed from public office, and the property obtained is basically uninvestigated.

Since the risks of corruption are far less than the benefits they receive, many corrupt officials are driven by profit and have little to fear. And the president does not dare to take the corruption of cabinet ministers too seriously. If the fight against corruption is taken too seriously, political allies will be offended, the ruling coalition will fall apart, and the president's ruling position will be shaken.

Therefore, in such a wonderful country, as long as you are willing to spend money and can share certain benefits, there is basically nothing that cannot be done. In addition, the Americans have been doing this in Brazil all the time.

"Since you're prepared, I won't say more! However, we already have more than 60% of the equity of the Gerdau Group!"

"Yes, Chairman!"

"How are you going to solve the problem of funding?...... Ugly words are said in the front, I am sadly hollowed out here, I will give you a maximum of 500 million US dollars, and you can figure out the rest yourself!"

"Chairman, $500 million is enough!"

"Oh, listen to your tone, is the reserve of Dongfang Iron and Steel Group sufficient?"

"Hehe, thanks to the hot domestic steel market, as well as the contribution of the South Korean branch and the Peruvian branch, otherwise we are burdened with nearly $3 billion in debt, and I am afraid we will not have much money to expand!"

"Don't give me a sloppy look, tell me how much money you have prepared?"

"It's not much, just $1.2 billion!"

"1.2 billion?......? Wait, didn't I tell you that 30% of the group's annual profits have to be invested in scientific research, and the loan has to be repaid?"

"Yes, $1.2 billion is the remaining funds after we invested in the Iron and Steel Research Institute and repaid the loan!" Fang Guochun said with a hint of smugness.

"Yes, it seems that I didn't see the wrong person when I handed over the Dongfang Iron and Steel Group to you!" Liu Dong said with satisfaction.

"Thank you Chairman for your trust!"

"But $1.2 billion, even if I add the $500 million I gave you, isn't it enough to complete the two acquisition plans?"

"It's not enough, but I've figured out a solution. First of all, $1.2 billion for the acquisition of Hangzhou * Zhou Iron and Steel Group, and the completion of the first phase of 10 million tons of steel expansion should be enough. When the first installment is completed, we can use it as a mortgage, and neither ICBC nor CCB will refuse us. Moreover, thanks to the hot domestic steel industry, the profits earned are enough for us to repay the loan and interest. ”

"As for the merger and acquisition of the Gerdau Group, it is enough to have your $500 million, plus the loan to mortgage the Peruvian branch!"

"Affection, all your plans depend on loans!"

"Yes! If you want to make the enterprise bigger in this era, you must have enough capital investment. In addition to the normal corporate revenue, there are two main ways to obtain funds--'going public' and 'loans'! We have no plan to go public, so we can only take out loans!"

"I see! But this time, don't look for Standard Chartered Bank for your loan to acquire Gerdau Group, go to the Commercial Bank of America!"

Standard Chartered Bank's loans have been supporting the development of Paper Communication Group, GCA Telecom, and Shangyuan Engineering Group during this time, and Feng Jianhui has told Liu Dong several times that Standard Chartered Bank's commercial loans have reached the warning line. If it is being allocated externally, I am afraid that it will affect the normal operation of Standard Chartered.

As for the American Commercial Bank, in addition to its own revenue, Liu Dong's income from white gold laundering is very rich.

"Yes, I understand!"

For Guochun, the acquisition of Gerdau Group is the main thing, as long as the interest rate is not too high, and he doesn't care much about where the loan comes from.

Next, Liu Dong hung up the phone after discussing the details of the two merger plans with Fang Guochun in detail.

Early the next morning, he arrived at the first destination of his trip to India, the National Museum of India!

Here, there are 22 Buddha relics excavated by Indians from the border area between India and Nepal, which is the home of the ancient Shakyamuni Shakyamuni.

Such a large amount completely exceeded the sum of the Buddha's relics that Liu Dong had previously absorbed. Therefore, Liu Dong has great expectations for this museum.

This time, instead of letting Roddy follow, he took a taxi alone to the intersection of Rajapat Street and Jampat Street in New Delhi.

After a brief look at the three-story white building with a clear European Baroque architectural style, Liu Dong strode over with anticipation.

But what made him a little annoyed was that this museum, which claims to have more than 200,000 pieces of collection, and the largest museum in India, will not open until 10 o'clock?

"Do you have to wait another hour and a half?"

Thinking of this, Liu Dong shook his head very dryly. At this moment, he didn't have that much patience.

After wandering around the museum for more than ten minutes, Liu Dong finally found a hidden place and launched the relics Yuanguang to escape underground.

In fact, in terms of the radiation range of the relics now, even if he is not close to the museum, Liu Dong can still absorb the spiritual light in the relics, but Liu Dong is very afraid that there will be a situation like the one in the Shwedagon Pagoda in Myanmar, which will cause a sensation.

Moreover, more crucial than the time in Myanmar, this time 22 relics were absorbed together. Therefore, Liu Dong is not sure if he can control it. So he wanted to hide it first.

Originally, he wanted to witness the 'pomp' of the 22 relics placed together before carrying out his plan, but now it is obviously not necessary.

"Here we go!"

After silently adjusting his breathing, Liu Dong, who is located 200 meters underground in the center of the National Museum of India, closed his eyes.

In the middle of his thoughts, the relics still expanded from the relics in the mustard seed space like a wild horse. Soon, everything within a radius of 1,300 meters was clearly in his mind.

In normal times, Liu Dong might be very interested in these strange things he saw. But at this moment, all his attention was focused on the top of his head, which brought excitement and anticipation to himself, causing the relics in the mustard seed space to beat violently, and rushed straight out of the 22 rich light clusters of the Baihui Acupoint.

Under Liu Dong's attention, 22 yellow light clusters as large as a hat shot out at the same time, a golden smooth one as thick as an arm's length shot out, and quickly connected to the relics suspended three feet above his head.

At the same time, it seems that the thirsty people in the desert get the water source, the dog day people get the coolness they crave, and the tired people enter the hot springs, and an indescribable, nerve-penetrating feeling of comfort makes Liu Dong can't help but immerse himself in it. Then, I gradually forgot everything around me.

However, Liu Dong himself is comfortable. At the moment, the pot is fried outside.

Nearly 20 million people in almost all of Delhi saw the rich golden light over the National Museum! A golden glow that even the scorching sun could not suppress, and there was really no more likely answer than a miracle.

So, except for some tourists who come to visit. Indians, both Hindu and ******, who have a strong tradition of faith, have taken out their most devout forms of worship.

The scene that took place four years ago in Yangon, the capital of Myanmar, reappeared in Delhi, and the streets were filled with devotional Indians from all over the place.

At this moment, all traffic was cut off, all businesses ceased to operate, and the air in Delhi reverberated with devout devotion to God!

It is conceivable that after today, the occult will flourish again throughout the world. And the leaders of the major powers, especially the Indian government, may not be able to sleep for a long time to come.

Of course, none of this is Liu Dong's business. No one was able to spot him underground.

However, perhaps the foundation of the relics is stronger than when he was in Myanmar, so when he absorbed the 22 relics this time, he did not sit for two or three days like last time.

This time, when it was nearly evening, Liu Dong slowly woke up. As for the golden light that filled the National Museum of India, it had disappeared three or four hours before he woke up.

But such a long time is also enough for Indians to figure out where these golden rays come from.

"It's okay, it's okay! I woke up not too late this time!" After taking out his mobile phone and looking at it, Liu Dong breathed a sigh of relief.

After determining the time, Liu Dong began to feel the changes in his body.

The increase in strength is inevitable, and as soon as he clenched his fist, Liu Dong understood that his strength was at least twice as much as in the past. Now that a 50-ton heavy truck is in front of him, he is confident that he can move it.

Moreover, the range of relics has also increased significantly, from the initial 1,300 meters to the current 2,000 meters. Although the growth rate is not as large as before, everything is easy to start with, and it is more difficult to get further back.

But the realm that Liu Dong is most concerned about has not broken through like the above two items! )
