Chapter 1230: Retreat and Cooperation
Chapter 1230 Retreat and Cooperation
β¦β¦
"Mr. Liu is polite, please take a seat!"
"Thank you!"
After the two sat down on the bench next to them, Khodorkovsky asked, "I wonder why Mr. Liu came to Mongolia this time?" If you encounter any difficulties, you may wish to tell me that I still have some connections in Mongolia, and I may be able to help Mr. Liu! β
"Thank you for your kindness, but I am not here to Mongolia for official business. Just want to go out and relax! Liu Dong said indifferently.
"Hehe, it's time to relax! Buying Daewoo Group is a hassle! β
Speaking of this, Khodorkovsky looked at the young man in front of him, and there was a hint of envy in his eyes. It is thought that he also relied on the collapse of the Soviet Union and the lack of opportunities for effective supervision of the privatization reform of the national economy to achieve success in one fell swoop, and became an internationally renowned financial and oil giant.
But at that time, he was already in his thirties, like Liu Dong now, who was only in his early twenties, and his economic strength had surpassed him several times!
Of course, he also believed that the other party could rise so quickly at such a young age, and he must have done a lot of murder and arson in secret, but Khodorkovsky didn't care about this.
Just ask the whole world, which politician and capitalist is clean under the buttocks?
The vast majority of people only care about the final result, and as for the process, it doesn't matter!
ββ¦β¦ But speaking of which, I would like to congratulate Mr. Liu, Daewoo Group is a super consortium worth nearly 30 billion US dollars, and Mr. Liu is now strong enough to stand at the forefront of the world by annexing this kind of industrial giant! β
"Mr. Khodorkovsky has won the prize! The acquisition of Daewoo Group was a success. But I paid tens of billions of dollars for it! β
The specific details of Liu Dong's acquisition of Daewoo Group have not been disclosed. So Liu Dong will speak very hazy.
"Huh. Although the price is high, the money is just a piece of paper, and there is an opportunity to earn it back in the future. But if you miss it, you won't have it in the future! Therefore, I admire Mr. Liu's decision very much! β
In this sentence, Khodorkovsky said it sincerely.
Liu Dong's means and determination to annex the Daewoo Group. In the same way that he risked losing his head and annexed Yukos Oil.
However, after seeing that after he finished speaking, he just nodded simply, and there was no Liu Dong below, Khodorkovsky knew that the other party would wait for him to throw out the true purpose hidden behind his series of actions this time.
After thinking for a while, the knowing Khodorkovsky did not hide, looked directly at Liu Dong with his eyes, and said with a slightly serious expression: "Mr. Liu is also engaged in the oil industry, I don't know if he is interested in Yukos Oil Company?" β
Hear this. Liu Dong's heart was shocked.
He was a little unsure of Khodorkovsky's idea.
Because, as long as anyone who knows Khodorkovsky knows something, it is clear that the 'Yukos Oil Company' is the real forbidden among the many enterprises owned by Khodorkovsky.
Since he got a controlling stake in Yukos Oil Company in '95. Over the years, it has been crowding out other shareholders in the company, and according to common sense, it is impossible for the other party to give up the shares that they have worked so hard to get.
However, Liu Dong is still very curious about the hidden purpose behind the other party's words?
"Of course I'm interested in Yukos Oil, but I know better how important it is to you......!"
Liu Dong's temptation did not surprise Khodorkovsky.
After smiling, Khodorkovsky replied: "I can sell 20% of Yukos Oil Company to Pacific Oil at a market price." And we can work together to build an oil pipeline from Russia to northern China via Mongolia! β
Liu Dong's 20% stake in Yukos Oil Company makes Liu Dong very excited, but Liu Dong hopes to build the Sino-Russian oil pipeline by himself, but this kind of national-level strategic energy cooperation plan is not something he can lead alone, and if he wants to start construction, he must agree to the central government.
Moreover, Liu Dong can be sure that if this oil pipeline really wants to be built, it will definitely not be able to bypass the supergiant PetroChina.
Looking at Liu Dong, who was deep in thought, Khodorkovsky was also a little nervous at this moment, and even had a trace of expectation.
If it had been in the past, he would naturally not have given up the shares of Yukos Petroleum that he had worked so hard to get his hands on, especially such an important stake as 20%.
But they had no choice but to look away at the beginning, and actually praised Pu Jing, the hard-line KGB, and as a result, this guy turned around and cleaned up their former oligarchic supporters after seizing the power of the country.
With the lessons of Gusinsky and Berezovsky, Khodorkovsky did not think that Prussia would let himself go. So he wants to find a way to survive for himself on the basis of not giving up on his Yukos oil company.
And China, which has developed rapidly in recent years and has increasingly close ties with Russia, is a good choice. That's why he thought of introducing Liu Dong into the management of Yukos, and then through his connections, he made the Sino-Russian oil pipeline, a strategic resource channel that has been looming between China and Russia, become his talisman.
Of course, Khodorkovsky was aware of the difficulty of the matter, but it was the only feasible thing he could think of at a time when the investigation against him in Russia was becoming more and more intense.
If it really doesn't work, then the huge fortune he made from the sale of Yukos oil company is enough for him to live a privileged and prosperous life after leaving Russia!
"Mr. Khodorkovsky, the stakes are so high, I'm afraid I won't be able to give you an answer for a while!" If it were just a stake in Yukos Oil, it would be fine, but the Sino-Russian oil pipeline was too difficult.
Although he had expected it, Khodorkovsky couldn't help but be disappointed in his heart, "Liu, I know that there is a difficulty in this, but you also know how profitable it is, so please think about it!" β
"Of course, I'll give you the answer in three days at most!"
After thinking for a while, Liu Dong said seriously.
He was well aware of the huge profits implicit in Khodorkovsky's two proposals for cooperation.
Yukos Oil Company aside, the Sino-Russian oil pipeline alone is certainly a good business, even if you can't swallow this big fat meat alone in the end, as long as you become a major player in it, then the value of the assets of Pacific Oil Industries will double.
Although the construction of this strategic oil pipeline will certainly be very difficult, in addition to China and Russia, it will also involve Mongolia. But with Liu Dong's current strength, he already has the status of direct dialogue with national-level leaders.
Therefore, he believes that as long as he works hard, he should be able to get the Chinese side to agree. After all, China is now an oil importer, and the amount of imported oil is still increasing rapidly with the rapid development of the domestic economy. If the Sino-Russian oil pipeline is successfully built, it will also be able to open up a new energy channel, so as to avoid Western countries from getting stuck in China's neck at the source of Middle East oil!
And Russia, with the participation of Khodorkovsky, the richest man, can also contribute to the recognition of the Russian side to the greatest extent.
Although Khodorkovsky is now somewhat sunset in Russia, his deep network of relationships still cannot be taken lightly, at least the success rate is higher than that of Liu Dong himself!
As for Mongolia, if both China and Russia agree, it will naturally not have much of an opinion.
However, it may be possible that billions of dollars of investment are not decided by patting the head. Even if Liu Dong is the chairman of the Hanhua Group, he also needs to solicit the opinions of his subordinates. Also assess the risks of this cooperation, as well as the profit margins in the future.
"I look forward to getting the answer that Mr. Liu agrees to in three days!" Khodorkovsky laughed.
"Of course, I also hope to be able to cooperate with you!"
After shaking hands with Khodorkovsky again, Liu Dong declined the other party's invitation to dinner.
After seeing the other party leave, Liu Dong looked at the moment after lunch, his expression was no longer as fierce as a beast just now, and with a naΓ―ve Pig, "Have a good game in the afternoon, remember to come to me when you're over!" β
"Got it!"
After touching his head, Pige grinned.
For Liu Dong, he can always feel the feeling of being comfortable from the other party. So it was natural to accept the change of owner.
Smiling and patting Pig's shoulder, Liu Dong turned around and walked out of the room.
Although Pige has now been gifted to him by Khodorkovsky, he cannot take Pige away until the end of the game.
In addition, for this wrestling competition, Liu Dong also has a firmer idea of winning the championship.
The reason for this is not that Liu Dong values the $1 million winning prize, but that he is eager to increase his influence in Mongolia through this wrestling championship.
And with this influence, he will be able to have more ability to contribute to the success of the Sino-Russian oil pipeline resolution.
"Next, I'm going to win the championship with a landslide!"
Looking at the golden fireball hanging high in the sky at noon and feeling the scorching heat of the light hitting him, Liu Dong's heart also became hot.
The afternoon match of the Naadam Wrestling Tournament was placed after 2 o'clock, because it was a more intense 'national elephant' battle, and in this wrestling tournament, there were generally more masters than in previous years, so the attraction brought by it naturally increased exponentially.
This can be seen from the fact that there seemed to be more people in the stands than in the morning, and from the news media that were nearly twice as large as the 'long guns and short guns' around them.
