Chapter 853: A Journey to the Xiangjiang River

……

To open a mine, it is necessary to open up roads, and to ensure the livelihood of the aborigines, which requires a very high cost, so Liu Dong would rather invest in large mines, so that the return is higher, and small mines do not have such conditions!

Although he has mustard seed space and can mine at zero cost, after the last experience, Liu Dong really doesn't want to be a miner, and he doesn't want to abuse his ability. After all, the mineral deposits are not like antiques, they are too large and too eye-catching.

Seeing Jose Aquilar's careful record, Liu Dong nodded with satisfaction and continued: "As for the Darren Group, the road and railway aspects will be developed according to the plan you have formulated, and if you are shipping, you will add two 125,000 cubic meter LNG (liquefied natural gas carriers), two 300,000-ton double-hull oil tankers, two 150,000-ton ore carriers, two 150,000-ton coal carriers, and five 50,000-ton bulk carriers!"

"Young Master, isn't it a bit ...... to purchase so many ships at once?"

Although he didn't want to question Liu Dong's decision, the sudden increase of 1.4 million tons of shipping volume, which almost doubled the shipping tonnage of Darren Group by one-third, made Jose Aquilar a little unacceptable!

Not to mention, how much will it cost to increase the transportation tonnage of 1.4 million tons, the key is how to digest it. If there is no business. These ships will lose money even if they get into their hands!

And notice the expression on José Aquilar's face. Liu Dong naturally understood what he was thinking, and after smiling at the moment, he comforted: "I understand your concerns, but although Colombia is rich in resources, the market is limited, so in the future, our resource sales market is still foreign, and if you want to sell resources, large-tonnage ships are a must!"

From now on. Liu Dong is already ready to sell his resources, especially oil, coal, steel, platinum, copper, and even Colombia's rich timber, flowers, cocoa and other agricultural products to China, only he, the Chinese, knows best how hungry the motherland is for various resources with rapid economic development!

"In this way, I not only supported the construction of the country, but also made money for myself, so why not do it!" Thinking of this, the thoughts in Liu Dong's mind became firmer!

If it weren't for the fact that the expansion is too fast and the skilled crew is not enough, it may not be beneficial to the company's development, and Liu Dong's ocean-going ships will have doubled.

"One more thing, Jose! Our Avianca was immediately procured four large Boeing airliners. Flights to China's capital and Shanghai!" Liu Dong said immediately.

After learning about his company, Liu Dong found out that there are no flights to China from Colombia now. It's just fucked up!

"I see, young master!"

Although José Aquilar's tone was calm, he was helpless in his heart, he knew that he couldn't change the decision of the eldest young master in front of him, so he could only do it!

"Fortunately, whether it is ship ordering or aircraft manufacturing, it will take more than half a year, and it should be enough to prepare for this time!"

Thinking of this, José Aquilar also breathed a sigh of relief, he had decided to immediately order the major groups to expand the production capacity of their respective enterprises in the next time after he returned!

“…… As for the expansion of the American Commercial Bank?" Liu Dong shook his head after a moment's silence, "...... Don't be in a hurry for the time being, wait until the finances and personnel of the Bank of Panama and the Indian Democratic Bank are sorted out and stabilized for a period of time, and then seek the banking industry in Ecuador!"

There are too many things involved in the financial industry, even the political, economic and military aspects of the host country, and it is impossible to be too cautious!

"Yes!" Jose nodded earnestly.

He knows that Liu Dong attaches great importance to the Bank of America, and the bank will gradually become the center of major groups in the future, so the stability and development of the bank has become more important!

"The rest of the Chimbot Steel Plant will do as I tell you!"

"Understood!"

"Hmm!"

After nodding, Liu Dong continued, "I'm going to leave for a while, and you'll be in charge here in Colombia, remember to call me in time if there's anything!"

After confessing to José Aquilar, Liu Dong stayed in the castle for another two days, and then transferred more than 1,000 tons of gold ore in the mustard seed space to the warehouse in the Raya Valley, and ordered the returning guards to be closely guarded before leaving Colombia by plane!

However, Colombia did not have a direct flight to Los Angeles, so Liu Dong had to fly from Bogotá to Houston first, and then transfer from Houston to Los Angeles!

Walking out of this airport that he had already been to once, Liu Dong couldn't help but think of his private jet that still had no news, and if it was there, he wouldn't have to waste time flying around.

"I don't know how it's now!"

Shaking his head, he put down Liu Dong, who called to ask about his private jet manufacturing, and came to the ticket window of the airport.

When he came to Los Angeles again, Liu Dong originally wanted to go to the new line film company he bought, but Zhang Fan's acquisition of Chong Hing Bank had an accident temporarily, so Liu Dong had to temporarily modify his itinerary.

After simply arranging the 'Gonggong' yacht and hosting him with a yacht management company, he flew directly from Los Angeles to Hong Kong!

After more than ten hours of flight, Liu Dong, who had just come out of the Hong Kong International Airport, soon met Zhang Fan, who had come to pick up the airport in person, and when he drove to the branch of Qingyang Venture Capital in the center of Hong Kong, Liu Dong also learned from Zhang Fan about the difficulties encountered in the acquisition of Chong Hing Bank!

"In other words, the main reason is that the Liao brothers and sisters did not agree to sell the shares in their hands to us?" Liu Dong frowned.

"Yes, Chairman Liu! Now 51% of the shares of Chong Hing Bank circulating in the market have been purchased by us in a decentralized manner, only Liao Tiecheng remains, about 43.3% of the shares in the hands of Liao Tiezhi and Liao Bining are still in their hands, and the remaining 5.7% of the scattered shares are scattered in the market!"

After looking at Liu Dong and nodding, Zhang Fan hesitated and said: "Liu Dong, in fact, now we have more than half of the shares in control, and we have the absolute controlling stake in Chong Hing Bank, even if the Liao brothers and sisters do not sell the shares in their hands, we can completely dilute the equity in their hands by injecting capital, so as to completely control Chong Hing Bank, not necessarily full control, after all, for the bank, the transparent financial situation is easier to believe!"

"You're right, but there's a reason why I'm planning to buy it wholly in my own hands!"

After a pause, Liu Dong continued, "Show me the information of Chong Hing Bank, including all the family members of the Liao family!"

"Okay, Liu Dong!"

Investment and acquisition, first of all, you must understand the object you are acquiring, so whether it is Chong Hing Bank or the Liao family, after receiving the acquisition task assigned by Liu Dong, Zhang Fan has made a lot of efforts to understand.

Therefore, the information prepared in hand is very comprehensive, and it can be said that in addition to those secrets that are not known to the outside world, most of the relevant news about Chong Hing Bank and the Liao family, including their marriage and children, and even who they befriended, and who they had conflicts with that person, there are also clear records on it.

After getting the information, Liu Dong immediately looked at it seriously.

Soon the atmosphere in the car became quiet, and no one spoke except for the occasional sound of turning pages.

Seeing that Liu Dong was engrossed in reading the information, Zhang Fan, who originally planned to take him to the company for a turn, immediately asked the driver to change the route and went to the suite that the Peninsula Hotel had reserved for Liu Dong.

A large amount of relevant information about Chong Hing Bank and the Liao family recorded on about 100 pages of A4 paper, Liu Dong read it in less than half an hour after staying in the hotel!

Through these materials, I have a deeper understanding of Liu Dong, the target of his upcoming acquisition.

"Who is this Yang Min?" said Liu Dong after putting down the information.

"She is the ex-wife of Pan Dickson, the boss of the Hong Kong Dickson Group, the eldest daughter of Yang Yuanlong of the Hong Kong Yang family, and now the chairman and president of the Hong Kong Esquel Group, graduated from the Department of Mathematics of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and is also a very capable woman with an MBA from Harvard University!" Zhang Fan, who was standing next to him, said immediately.

"It's so powerful, no wonder I was able to snatch Pan Dickson from Liao Bining's hands!"

"Hehe, this matter was rumored in Hong Kong at that time, Pan Dickson was about to marry Liao Bining, but on the wedding day, there was no trace of the groom at the wedding scene, and what is even more unbelievable is that a week later, Pan Dickson and Yang Minde registered their marriage in Malaysia, and gave the Liao family a big mouth in front of all the families in Hong Kong, making them lose face! Even the entire Liao family is at odds with Pan Di!"

"It's good to be incompatible, only if we don't have a chance to intervene!" Liu Dong said with a smile.

"Chairman Liu, do you want to ......?" Zhang Fan said in surprise.

Liu Dong touched his chin with his right hand, and after thinking for a while, he immediately said: "In this way, you immediately let the company acquire the shares of the Dickson Group from now on, and then exchange the equivalent shares of Dickson for the shares of Chong Hing Bank in the hands of the Liao family, and you tell the Liao family that if they agree, we can also lend them 500 million US dollars to acquire the Dickson Group!"

"Liu Dong, is this appropriate? Pan Dickson is not an ordinary person, not only has deep connections in the Hong Kong-Hong Kong business community, but also has excellent business skills and vision, if we are so rashly inserted into the grievances between the two families, I am afraid that it will arouse the hatred of the Pan family!"
