Chapter 936: Investment Blocked

……

If Liu Dong doesn't care much about the amount of investment, then the conditions of the Jinzhong Municipal Government: Jinzhong Coalfield as a shareholder, accounting for 55% of the equity of the joint venture company, and also requiring Liu Dong to invest 10 billion Huaxia Yuan is unacceptable to him!

First of all, the Jinzhong Municipal Government is not a company, and Liu Dong can still consider this condition of the company, but the government resolutely cannot agree, and he is not a fool, although not all government officials are corrupt, but as long as there are one or two, Liu Dong's loss is definitely not as simple as one or two hundred million.

Therefore, Liu Dong would never agree to invest his money, but the controlling stake in the company was returned to the other party, and the money was spent, and this kind of thing happened to his head.

And in addition to the controlling stake, the Jinzhong coalfield is also a big pit, originally he thought that all the minerals in the country are the state, but after sending someone to Shanxi to investigate, he found out how wrong his idea is!

Yes, the minerals belong to the state, but these coal fields are privately contracted!

Moreover, unlike private contracting, these coal bosses who contract coalfields form coal mining companies similar to rural collective enterprises, and in addition to the majority of the profits from the coalfields, the remaining 30 or 40 percent will be given to every household in the village where the coalfield is located, and the benefits will be equal!

In this way, the coal boss and the villagers of the whole village have become a community of interests, and this situation is not only in Jinzhong. This is true even for the entire Shanxi Province, so unless it is the state that comes forward, it is private. In particular, it is too difficult for outsiders like Liu Dong to control large-scale coalfields, even with the help of the Jinzhong Municipal Government, it is a troublesome thing to shake the local vested interests, and if it is not handled well, it will cause mass incidents, not only will the investment be lost, but it will even affect the reputation of Liu Dong's company!

This is by no means what Liu Dong wants to see!

So. Now seeing this investigation material, Liu Dong has faintly regretted that he agreed to Zhou Bin's request to invest in Jinzhong so easily!

Of course, it's too late to say anything!

Seeing Liu Dong frowning, Lin Ling said softly beside him: "Xiaodong." Why don't we withdraw the negotiation team from Jinzhong!

"Don't do it yet!" After thinking for a while, Liu Dong shook his head.

Even if you want to give up, you have to inform Zhou Bin first, after all, he also agreed to the other party at the beginning!

"I see!" Lin Ling nodded.

"Bell ......!"

Liu Dong's mobile phone rang suddenly.

Picked it up and looked at the caller ID. Liu Dong frowned slightly. It was connected quickly!

"Steven, you rarely call me!"

"Hehe, Liu, maybe from today onwards, we will have more contact than before!"

"Oh, is it?" said Liu Dong.

"Don't tell me you didn't read Time!" said Steven Rockefeller.

Time Magazine, also known as Time, is one of the three major current affairs magazines in the United States, with a wide range of content. Expressing opinions on international issues and following up on major international events. Time magazine is also a world-renowned brand, and it has a wide readership around the world. Time is available in the main U.S. edition, international, European, Asian, and Latin American editions.

Although it is not the cover, because of the merger and acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank and the merger with Standard Bank of South Africa, coupled with his young and legendary wealth story, it will definitely attract no less attention!

It's no surprise that Steve Rockefeller, someone who is very familiar with Liu Dong, has called!

Moreover, others may think that Liu Dong only has 9% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank, but the Rockefellers and their sons, who have helped Liu Dong acquire shares in seven American banks, including First Republic Bank, and Standard Bank of South Africa, know very well that the person behind this huge bank is this young Chinese who has the qualifications to talk to the Rockefeller family on an equal footing!

It is precisely because he is more and more aware of the potential hidden in Liu Dong that Steven Rockefeller called this time.

Otherwise, if the other party really remembered his friend, he would not have made a greeting call until now after the transaction was completed last month.

"Time Magazine?" Liu Dong glanced at the magazine on the table, "I didn't see it, what's wrong, is there still my news on it?"

Seeing that Liu Dong didn't frown his brows after lying, Lin Ling next to her couldn't help but blink! She suddenly found that Liu Dong was more like a successful business leader than before!

In addition to its own personality charm and talent, Chengfu is also a necessary quality for a successful person!

"Yes, that's a pity! But you should really take a look, Liu, you know, now in the world, especially in the United States, you are a big name, Andrew, Crick, Matthew, they don't ask me about you!"

"For a little person like me, I am really flattered to be noticed by so many young masters of the big family!" Liu Dong said with a smile.

"Little people, Liu, don't be too modest, if the super-rich people worth more than $40 billion are also small people, then I don't think there are many aristocrats in the world!" said Steve Rockefeller.

After smiling indifferently, Liu Dong said: "Steve, you didn't call this time just to praise me, right?"

Steven Rockefeller, who was impressed by Liu Dong's wisdom and the city, did not hide anything, "Hehe, Liu, I know that I can't hide it from you!"

After a moment's pause, Steve Rockefeller's tone became much more solemn, "Liu, I wonder if you're interested in Nazi treasures?"

"What do you mean?" the thought in Liu Dong's mind immediately spun rapidly.

"We, the Rockefeller family, would like to invite you to go in search of the 'Great German Treasure'!"

"Invite me along?"

Liu Dong analyzed all kinds of possibilities in his heart, but he still couldn't think of the reason why the Rockefeller family did this.

"Because of your abilities?"

"Abilities?"

"Yes, strong force, extraordinary command, and luck that God would jealous of, if you join, maybe we can find the treasure more smoothly!"

"Am I really that important?" Liu Dong said with all kinds of thoughts in his eyes.

"Of course!"

After Steve Rockefeller spoke, there was silence between the two sides for nearly ten seconds, and neither of them spoke.

However, Liu Dong refused after thinking for a while, "I'm sorry, Steven, although I'm also curious about Nazi treasures, but you know that I can't leave now, Standard Chartered Bank has just been integrated, and I have too many things to deal with!"

"That's a shame!"

Although the other party covered it up well, Liu Dong still heard something strange from it!

Although he is not very sure, Liu Dong now probably guesses that Steven Rockefeller is probably testing himself, as for the purpose of testing himself, Liu Dong is not clear, but it must be inseparable from Nazi treasures.

"It's a pity, but I can't help it!" Liu Dong said.

"Well, I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate next time!, Liu, if you need to invest in Standard Chartered Bank, I think South Korea will be a good place!"

"South Korea, why?" Liu Dong frowned.

"Hehe, Liu, Happy New Year's Day, goodbye!"

Steve Rockefeller, who had sold a pass, hung up the phone, then looked up at the old Rockefeller sitting next to him, and said respectfully: "Father, he refused!"

"Refused?"

Old Rockefeller looked at the half of the map in his hand, and after being silent for a while, he suddenly said, "Do you think the other half of the map will be in Liu Dong's hands?"

"Probably not, according to our investigation, no one has ever taken this key to enter the Swiss bank, let alone touched the safe, and Liu Dong has never been to Switzerland!" Steve shook his head.

"But he just went to Toulouse, France last month!"

"Father is suspicious...... The other half of the map is in his hand?" Steve Rockefeller wondered.

"That's right!"

"But Toulouse is more than 200 kilometers away from Switzerland, and it is impossible to take the contents of the lockbox in less than a day unless you take a plane, and only we know the unlocking code on the Da Vinci cracker!"

"So I'm just skeptical, not sure!" After speaking, the old Rockefeller picked up half of the map, and after carefully looking at it a few times, "If someone else got the map, do you think he would keep half of it?...... There is room for doing things, the typical Chinese 'modest' way of doing things, you can't get it and don't want others to get it!"

Although his father's analysis did make sense, Steven still didn't believe too much that the other half of the map would be in Liu Dong's hands, without him, because the other party had no way to get the map.

"Or maybe the other family stayed behind to confuse us?" Steven said.

Old Rockefeller shook his head, "I have let people analyze and test many times, this paper is indeed from Germany in the 50s, the material is the unique red leaf beech in the northern mountains of Germany, this material of paper is thick and easy to write, very popular with Hitler, all his letters during World War II are this kind of paper, but after World War II, the environmental protection industry has received more and more attention, German paper uses more non-plant fibers, and this paper has disappeared!" It is impossible for anyone to cheat on this, and although the European guys are broken, the tradition of the proud old aristocracy in their bones remains unchanged......, and they will not cheat on it!
