Chapter 1371: Rudolph

……

"Rs 300 crore, Mr. 2 bid Rs 300 crore, is there anything higher?"

As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, Nancy raised the No. 3 bid in her hand, "Rs 3.5 billion!"

"3.5 billion, 3.5 billion, Miss 3 bid 3.5 billion rupees, is there anything higher than 3.5 billion rupees?"

"Rs 3.6 billion!" Anil Ambani, holding the No. 2 sign, raised his bid again.

"Anil, competing with such a pretty lady is not the way a gentleman should be!" Ruth Tata mocked.

"Ruth, you're already married, don't think about pleasing anyone!"

Ruth Tata's face froze, and he was somewhat poked with a secret annoyance in his heart, "Then who do you Anil want to please when you buy this diamond?"

"I don't need you to take care of my business yet...... Rs 400 crore!"

Looking at Nancy, who was frowning slightly, Liu Dong couldn't help but smile and said, "Miss Nancy, if you plan to give up, then I'm going to make a bid?"

"4.2 billion rupees!" After the requote, Nancy glanced at Liu Dong and said indifferently: "Although I can't have as much wealth as Mr. Liu, I still have the money to buy this 'Crystal Heart'!"

Liu Dong was uncomfortable for a while by her indifferent eyes.

"Mr. Liu, Nancy is my father's most favored pearl, and she is not short of money!" said with a smile.

Think about Saudi Aramco, the oil giant with trillions of dollars in assets and ranking first in the world, and then think about the extravagance of the Saudi royal family, you will know how rich your net worth is as a descendant of the royal family!

"In this way, I really don't have a chance!" Liu Dong said with a smile.

"It's just diamonds, and if you really want Mr. Liu's wealth, I think it should be very simple!" said Said.

"Yes!" Liu Dong nodded undeniably.

With his net worth, it is indeed easy to get a diamond, but it is not so easy to have a diamond like the 'Crystal Heart', which is of the highest purity, clarity and weight.

But a manly man, what he said was equivalent to spilling water, and Liu Dong couldn't regret it at the moment, so he had to watch Nancy finally buy this precious 'Crystal Heart' diamond for 4.6 billion rupees, equivalent to 75 million US dollars.

Looking at the auctioneer who was already announcing the end of the auction, Liu Dong sighed in his heart. He never thought that Nancy would be willing to spend so much money to buy the 'Crystal Heart'.

"Everyone, please move to the banquet hall on the 3rd floor of the hotel, where we have prepared a sumptuous dinner for you, welcome everyone!"

"Mr. Liu, how about a few drinks together?" Saeed invited.

"Okay!"

Liu Dong nodded happily, he was thinking about how to find an opportunity to get closer to each other.

In fact, if Liu Dong said that he was 'Muñoz', with the saving grace of the 'Herakpus' dungeon, he would quickly be able to get closer to the Saeed siblings.

But Liu Dong, who had already put the ancient city of 'Herakpus' and the treasures in it into his pocket, was unwilling to make any more troubles.

"Then let's go together!"

Under the guidance of Said, the three of them followed the flow of people to the banquet hall on the third floor of the hot spring hotel. It's been booked by Christie's, and it's ready for a western-style dinner.

After asking for a glass of red wine from the waiter, the three of them found a seat together and sat down.

"How long does Mr. Liu plan to stay in India this time?" said Saeed after taking a sip of the cocktail in his glass.

"It depends, maybe a week or two, maybe a month!"

How long he stays in India depends on when he can borrow the Buddha's relics to break through the realm of Baodan.

"If Mr. Liu is not short of time, you might as well come and sit at my house in your free time!" After the words fell, Saeed took out a special business card from his pocket and lifted it, "It has my address and phone number in Delhi!"

After taking a brief look at it and keeping the above content in mind, Liu Dong nodded, "I will definitely visit in person!"

"But don't delay too long! You know, the Indian government's highway tender will start on May 24!"

"Don't worry, it won't be delayed until that time!"

Subsequently, the two of them chatted about some personal hobbies, and after dealing with some people who took the initiative to come to the door to pull the relationship, they exchanged contact information and left!

After Liu Dong returned to the room, Luo Di had already returned early!

"Boss, everything is ready!"

"Thank you!"

"This is what I should do!"

Luo Di's humble attitude made Liu Dong secretly satisfied, this smart, flexible and loyal subordinate was more optimistic about him. This is also the reason why Liu Dong recalled him after going abroad again.

"Knock knock ......!"

Just as Liu Dong briefly chatted with Luo Di and sat back on the sofa, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

"Go open the door!"

"Yes, boss!"

Roddy, who had been instructed, walked to the door and opened it.

"Is Liu Dong here?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Liu Dong's brows immediately furrowed, and a look of distress appeared on his face. To be honest, he really didn't want to see the owner of this voice, but he couldn't help but see it.

"Alas!"

After sighing in his heart, Liu Dong stood up from the sofa, "Rudolph, I didn't expect to be able to see you in India, it's really a pleasure!"

Seeing that the boss knew the other party, Roddy got out of the way and let the other party in.

"Glad you were at Christie's, I didn't see you come up to greet me!" Rudolf Wittgenstein strode in.

To be honest, he really doesn't like the man his sister loves very much. Although the other party is really good, it is enviable, and he also has a background compared to the Wittgenstein family.

"You were at the auction at the time?...... I'm sorry, I really didn't see it!"

"Your attention is on the Arab princess next to you, how can you see me!"

Looking at his brother-in-law who seemed to have eaten gunpowder, Liu Dong smiled and didn't get angry. Of course, this is also for Helen's sake.

After letting Roddy make a pot of tea and bring it up, the two sat down opposite each other on the sofa in the living room.

Maybe they both know that they don't have a good impression of each other, and they don't have Helen in the middle to lubricate, so the atmosphere is a little depressing.

However, both of them are very human in the end. Emotional adjustment is a basic ability.

"You're also here for India's road construction plan?"

"That's right, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Arcelor Group?" asked Liu Dong meaningfully.

"It's true that it has little to do with the Arcelor Group, but another thing has a great impact on the Arcelor Group and your Oriental Iron and Steel Group!"

"Oh?" Liu Dong raised an eyebrow.

"Look at it! Here's some of the information I've gathered!"

Hearing this, Liu Dong was not hypocritical, and immediately took the document handed over by Rudolph, and after looking at it twice, his brows immediately furrowed.

"It's all true?"

"What do you think?"

Liu Dong also believes that Rudolph will not fool himself with some fake news. And it's impossible to really hide this kind of big news.

"Although the news of the merger between LNM Holding Group and Isparte Steel Group has not yet spread, it is no secret to Arcelor, who works in the steel industry. And according to the news we have gotten, after the merger of the two companies, will form a new 'Mittal Steel Group', and will be the United States International Steel Corporation mergers and acquisitions, if these two plans can be realized, then by the end of this year, the new Mittal Steel Group will become an annual steel output of 6000 ~ 70 million tons, ranking first in the world, is expected to reach an annual revenue of 22 billion US dollars of super steel giants. ”

"When the time comes, our Arcelor Steel Group and your Oriental Iron and Steel Group will no longer be the top two steel companies in the world...... And there is no shortage of latecomers behind us, with the UK's LNM Steel Group actively working on the acquisition of Zenica Steel in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which, if completed, will bring LNM Steel Group's annual steel production to 40 million tonnes. In addition, there is also the United States' United States Steel Union Iron and Steel Group, your China's Hebei Iron and Steel Group, Bao* Steel, etc., are expanding production capacity. If we can't actively respond to these changes, maybe in a few years, Arcelor and Oriental Steel won't even be able to keep the top three!"

"Then what are you going to do?" Liu Dong said after a little thought.

"Merge!"

Rudolph said with a hint of fire in his eyes.

"Merge?"

"That's right, Arcelor Group and Oriental Iron and Steel Group merged! Think about it, the new Arcelor Oriental Iron and Steel Group will have nearly 100 million tons of steel production capacity, and it will become the darling of the stock market. When the time comes, no steel group will be able to catch up with us! Arcelor Oriental will become a giant in the steel industry and control the pricing power of the world's steel industry! Our words and deeds will have an impact on the whole world!"

Listening to Rudolph's incendiary words, Liu Dong wanted to say that he was not a little moved, it was false. But now he is not a hairy boy who has just entered the business world.

Now the merger of the world's No. 1 and No. 2 steel giants has a repercussion that he knows in his heart, and he would be willing if it was possible. But the key is who controls Arcelor Oriental after the merger, which is what Liu Dong cares about!

It is impossible for him to watch the Oriental Iron and Steel Group, which he has worked so hard to run, fall into the hands of others.
