Gao Xianzhong took the fax from Zheng Mengjiu and flipped through it carefully. Regarding Hyundai Group's sudden and high-profile announcement of the acquisition of Hyundai Motor, he already had a little experience in his heart, and he thought about it.

"Hyun-joong, what do you think?" Zheng Mengjiu asked slowly.

Some time ago, when Hua was suppressed by the South Korean government, Gao Xianzhong had persuaded him to buy the shares in Hehua's hands at a high price, but when he was about to contact Hehua through a guò middleman, the shape suddenly reversed. This matter can only be settled.

Gao Xian said calmly: "President, Hehua's reputation is very bad in China now. This is an obvious method of resurrection. Zheng Meng came to buy us first, and the people had nothing to say. Hehua is expected to announce its acceptance of Hyundai Group's bid in two days. ”

Zheng Mengjiu nodded lightly, which was consistent with his judgment. Hyundai Group did not send a special person to contact him at all, and the perfunctory meaning was very clear. It is obviously to build momentum for Hehua to accept the offer of Hyundai Group.

Gao Xianzhong then analyzed: "As for the high price of $40 per share. President, I don't know if you have noticed the process of clearing the suspicion with Hwa some time ago, but looking back now, the role of Congressman Jung Mong-yoon is very crucial. ”

The corners of Zheng Mengjiu's eyebrows jumped, he stood up with his hands behind his back and walked a few steps, and asked rhetorically: "Xianzhong, do you mean that the sixth will accept the offer of Hyundai Group?" ”

Gao Xian nodded cautiously. He thinks that He Hua and Zheng Mengyun may have some kind of deal. The high price of $40 per share is for Zheng Mengyun.

Zheng Meng thought for a long time and said, "Maybe." Don't tell anyone about this speculation. ”

"I'll keep my mouth shut." Gao Xian hurriedly agreed.

Chairman Zheng and Zheng Mengyun did not have a good relationship, but Zheng Mengyun came to attend the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders on March 3. Support President Cheng on this basis. It is not appropriate to publicize this.

has been a confidant for many years, Zheng Mengjiu is still very relieved of Gao Xianzhong. "Hyun-joong, since Hehua wants Hyundai Group to come to the forefront, we have to hurry up and reach an agreement with Daimler." ”

Gao Xianzhong frowned and smiled bitterly: "President, I'm afraid that Daimler will not give in." "He won't be able to break the game for a while.

Zheng Mengjiu was deeply convinced of Gao Xianzhong's judgment, sighed lightly, and said, "Let's try to contact Daimler again." ”

…

…

Since being teased by Lu Jing outside the building of the South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade that day, although Shizuka Nagai hates Lu Jing's itchy teeth, she still returned to Tokyo. The current predicament of the acquisition is with Jung Mong-gyu and Daimler, and there is no need for her to stay in Seoul to waste time.

Villa No. 14 in the northeast corner of Eiyo Villa in Tokyo's premium villa district. At the end of April, cherry blossoms are all over the ground. White cherry blossoms are laid out on bluestone slabs, and the garden is full of romance.

Shizuka Nagai changed into a white kimono and knelt on a tatami mat in the courtyard to make a sencha. In the distance, at the entrance to the courtyard, two pretty maids were on standby.

A moment later, a maid walked in with her mobile phone and stood meekly watching Shizuka Nagai's rhythmic movements. After completing a set of tea art kung fu, Shizuka Nagai said, "Fanzi, what's the matter?" ”

Shibuko bowed and said, "Miss, your phone." ”

Shizuka Nagai beckoned. took the delicate black mobile phone in Fanzi's hand, and her assistant Ichiro Takeda's voice came from inside, "Miss, Zheng Mengxian of Hyundai Group announced his participation in the acquisition of Hyundai Motor in a high-profile manner. All six Hyundai shareholders have already received offers of $40 per share from Hyundai Group. Hehua has privately told the media that he will accept Hyundai Group's offer. ”

Shizuka Nagai sneered charmingly. "Hehua is playing tricks again. It seems that they are well aware that the South Korean people will resist Hehua's entry into Hyundai Motor. ”

Ichiro Takeda said: "Miss, at the same time, it was revealed that Zheng Mengyun was willing to accept the offer. He touched on this topic in a street interview with a media outlet. ”

"Zheng Mengyun?" Shizuka Nagai picked up the precious small porcelain cup at hand and drank tea. After pondering for a long time, she said, "Ichiro. Spreading the news, Zheng Mengyun received Hehua's political donation. So he worked hard to help Hehua clear his suspicions. ”

Shizuka Nagai has been following Wahua's operations in Seoul. The Volkswagen and Toyota lobbies have not been able to pry South Korean politics at all. After all, there is a tacit understanding between several parties and Hua's back. She has long suspected that the political turmoil in South Korea is led by Hehua.

Now that Hyundai Group is actually going to buy the shares in Zheng Mengyun's hand at a price of $40 per share, how can she not be suspicious. Anyway, this kind of thing doesn't need evidence. She was happy to add some blockage to Lu Jing.

Ichiro Takeda said, "Okay. Miss. ”

…

…

On a Sunday afternoon, the smell of sweet coffee wafts through a small coffee shop outside Seoul University.

Outside the coffee shop, two or three open parasols obscured the round table with fine rattan chairs. Lu Jing took a sip of coffee and asked with a smile, "Xiaoyu, Li Huiqiao has taken you to visit a lot of places in Seoul in the past few days, right?" ”

He was supposed to listen to Su Xiaoyu's report on the details of Perth yesterday, but because he wanted to take Xu Yongbi, Mo Jingwen, Yu Le and Zheng Mengkui to talk about the details, he was delayed for another day.

Su Xiaoyu held a piece of mung bean cake in her hand and tasted it, "Well, I have visited a lot of places." Hui Kyo is familiar with Seoul. ”

Lee Hye Kyo has lived in Seoul for a long time, and it would be strange if she was still unfamiliar with Seoul. She wore sunglasses, sucked juice, and said a little embarrassedly: "It's just that sometimes being recognized brings a lot of trouble to Sister Su." ”

"Normal." Lu Jing smiled. T-Q Company, the branch of Tianchen Entertainment in Seoul, has strictly implemented the national goddess training plan formulated for Lee Hye Kyo. 's extremely beautiful face and good singing skills have made Lee Hye Kyo purple in South Korea. She has started her journey into TV dramas from the music scene. It is said that her debut performance as the female number one was very exciting. It is normal for her to be recognized for shopping in Seoul. There are always one or two eye-catching fans, fans.

Li Huiqiao smiled quietly and did not speak. She met Lu Jing when she was studying in Jianye 99 years ago, and they can be regarded as ordinary friends.

Lee Hye Kyo's temperament is beautiful and stunning, and such a big beauty is pleasing to the eye when she looks at her. Lu Jing smiled and said, "Xiaoyu." Let's talk about Perth. ”

"Okay." Su Xiaoyu took out a tissue from her handbag and wiped her mouth, and handed another one to Lu Jing and Li Huiqiao. Then he began to report to Lu Jing on the challenges that He Hua encountered in Australia.

Japanese conglomerates have been operating in Australia for a long time, and their potential influence is very large. Australia's iron ore industry. Japanese consortia can account for about 60%. Australia is a member of the British Commonwealth, and the history of British-funded enterprises in Australia is very old. They have more influence in the Australian government than Japanese conglomerates.

Due to the postponement of the date of the return of the first ship of the first ship of the Chinese ship, which was jointly promoted by the Warren Consortium and the Mitsui Consortium, the labor cost has increased significantly. Hehua basically has no countermeasures now, and can only make additional investment, a large increase in investment.

After talking for half an hour, Lu Jing had a general understanding of some details such as mine mining, equipment transportation, railway construction, wharf, and land purchase. With an annual loss of about $1.4 billion, Hehua will expect the first shipment of ore to be shipped in July 2006.

Lu Jing thought for a while and said, "Perth gritted his teeth and held it up." Losing money is diverted from elsewhere. What the Warren consortium and Mitsui owe us, we will have to get back sooner or later. ”

Su Xiaoyu was a little worried. He said softly: "Lu Jing, can you hold it?" Mr. Chen works hard every day. ”

"It's going to hold on. Smile there, I'll increase the funds in a while. Lu Jing said affirmatively, "Are you concerned about the just-ended Iraq war?" I put $3 billion into oil futures. This gain supported our loss in Australian iron ore. ”

On March 20, the United States launched the war, and by April 15, the United States declared the end of the main military operation of the Iraq War.

"How much?" Su Xiaoyu just picked up the coffee cup, and was so frightened by Lu Jing that she didn't hold the coffee cup steady. The coffee cup fell on the small round table, and all the coffee spilled on Su Xiaoyu's clothes, "Oops-!" ”

"You're not burned, are you?" Lu Jing and Li Huiqiao hurriedly handed tissues to Su Xiaoyu. She is wearing a coffee-colored base layer and royal blue low-rise jeans today. This will stain the pants with a large thigh - all the coffee color.

"Nope. No," Su Xiaoyu took a tissue to wipe the water stains on her clothes.

"Xiaoyu, forget it. Your clothes are probably useless. We took the car back to change our clothes. Lu Jing called Thirteen and took a car with Su Xiaoyu and Li Huiqiao to the Linjiang Villa.

After Su Xiaoyu sat in the car, she still had the aroma of coffee on her body, she was still concerned about Lu Jing's topic just now, and said worriedly: "Lu Jing." You put $3 billion into it, what if you lose money? ”

The futures market is 20x leverage. Hehua's $3 billion capital can leverage $60 billion in futures, if it loses. The real Hehua will be put in. There are not a few companies that have been buried by futures trading. In Su Xiaoyu's eyes, this is a very crazy gamble.

Lee Hye Kyo sat in the passenger seat. Lu Jing sat next to Su Xiaoyu. He said confidently, "No." ”

The U.S. military declared the end of the war. International oil prices fell in response, falling by $10 per barrel. As of today, the international oil price closed at $25.49 per barrel. However, he knew very well that the US military would be trapped in Iraq. International oil prices will rise strongly by the end of this year. New York light oil futures averaged $41.45 per barrel in January 2004, the highest level in 21 years.

Even higher than the pre-Iraq war: West Texas light oil reached $37.83 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange at the close of trading on March 13.

"Oh." Su Xiaoyu didn't believe Lu Jing now, and sighed lightly in her heart. Hehua's biggest advantage is in Lu Jing, and its biggest disadvantage is also in Lu Jing. She was really worried that one day he would fail and whether he would accompany the previous ones.

How did Su Xiaoyu know that Lu Jing had a memory of the general trend of international oil prices in his mind. What's more, with such a crazy and large-scale investment in futures, how could Lu Jing not communicate with Mo Xinlan and the others.

Su Xiaoyu is concerned about chaos.

Li Huiqiao didn't care much about oil futures, although she saw Su Xiaoyu lose her temper to the extreme, but listening to Lu Jing's confident words now, she believed it in her heart.

As soon as Thirteen drove the car out of Seoul University, Lu Jing received a call from Mo Jingwen. Her voice was a little anxious, "Lu Jing, we're in trouble." There was news in Seoul that Zheng Mengyun had received Hehua's political donation, so he helped Hehua talk some time ago. (To be continued......)
