"Now that we have obtained the right to personnel, my uncle can't afford to make any waves for the time being, and recently we have to set our sights on the Middle East, where there are huge business opportunities."

"The Middle East, where the oil is rolling?"

Zhao Dahao was stunned, fortunately, he had already checked all the reports of the important projects of the BAT Group and could issue a warning at any time.

"President, it's better to hold off on entering the Middle East."

Zhao Dahao sighed.

"Now that the situation is uncertain, it is very likely that the money invested will be wasted, don't you invest in China?"

After confirming Chen Daojun's serious expression, Zhao Dahao said into the walkie-talkie.

"The launching ceremony will be presided over by the presidents of each branch, and there will be no second internal notice of this order, so tell them not to wait, and by the way, the president's meeting has also been postponed, and we will make a decision in the afternoon."

He glanced at Chen Daojun again and said.

"Do you know what the construction industry is going through right now? It can even be said that it has a second spring, which is a great opportunity to make a lot of money, but are you going to give up?

"Right now, the good news in Dubai is on the beach. It was a castle built on quicksand, the floors and pillars were crumbling, and their property was too single. ”

"Foam and sand...... On what basis? ”

Chen Daojun closed his eyes: "Because country M is collapsing." ”

Li Xuezai was silent for a while, with a ridiculous expression on his face.

But when he spoke again, he had a very serious and calm expression and tone.

"I know you're serious, but it's a bit too fantastical, is country M about to collapse?"

"Is it true, at present, country M is suffering from trillions of dollars in bad debts, and is it under heavy pressure, isn't it insolvent? It's like a leaky ship that will soon sink under the weight of the feast of money. ”

"You go on, I'll remember."

He listened and focused on Do-joon's words.

"House prices in country M have been rising since last year...... To be precise, it began in September 2006 and has doubled in just 10 years, but this is not the case anymore. ”

"Isn't it strange that it has doubled in 10 years? In 2000, when the dot-com bubble burst, money poured into real estate, a market law that real money was flowing. ”

Chen Daojun asked him rhetorically: "Do you think that no matter how much money Silicon Valley investors have, the amount of money withdrawn from the Internet will be enough to double the housing prices in country M?" This is an average index and excludes the slums of country M, where decent housing prices have more than tripled. ”

"Even so, why is it insolvent?"

"Because everyone is in debt to buy a house, to be precise, they don't have the strength and ability to repay the debt."

"It's the same in our country."

Zhao Dahao complained, as if this was not the case in the cold country.

"Banks in our country won't lend money to unemployed people to buy houses, and even if you're a real working person, three or four banks won't lend you money against your house."

Zhao Dahao raised his eyes.

He knew that the banks in country M were not like the cold country, and they would not hesitate to lend aggressively, but this was a serious waste of money.

After all, if a person borrows such a loan in the cold country, he will go to jail for fraudulent loans.

"Really?"

"Yes, I've been doing it for years, and it's time for me to weigh more than I can handle."

Zhao Dahao was even more puzzled, there are so many institutions on Wall Street, why did Daojun know: "Then how do you know this?" ”

"New York is an investment company every day, and every day overseas companies send me reports by email, and I analyzed it and felt the red flags from the beginning."

The consequences of the financial crunch in country M will have an impact on the Middle East.

Zhao Dahao closed his mouth and thought for a while.

"President, you just need to know where the danger is, and we avoid it. Everyone else should be left out. ”

After all, he also knew that Chen Daojun was not engaged in charity.

"But you are the only one who claims to be dangerous, no one has issued a warning anywhere, and neither our country M branch nor the country M company of the Shunyang Group have said anything. If you're wrong, we'll have to leave the banquet table and watch others suck our fingers as they eat their fill. ”

"Think of the IMF. No one said it was dangerous. But at that time, I was in charge of Shunyang Automobile and took over Yajin Group and Shunyang Construction, and it was all my own money, have you forgotten? ”

"That's why I'm listening to your story right now, but it's so informative that I can't believe it."

"I don't believe it, but you will, don't you?"

Chen Daojun has been invincible in recent years, and he has long established an image in front of them.

"At the moment, I think I'll have to look a little bit to make sure that there are companies that can't rule out a soft landing even if they're insolvent. The wealth accumulated by country M is incomparable to that of our country, and I don't think it is reasonable to compare it to the IMF crisis. ”

"If you're right, Shunyang Construction will be hit hard and it will be difficult to recover in a short time, so construction, heavy industry and products should be staggered."

Zhao Dahao thought about it again.

When he opened his mouth again, he even showed a weird smile.

"At the moment, the construction performance will hit the bottom, and I will not hold you responsible for the poor performance, as a major shareholder."

"Why should I bow down to others, can't I let others bow to me?"

Chen Daojun said disdainfully.

The most annoying thing about him is to say sorry to other people.

If something happens, apologize, what's the difference between that and Dongying people?

"Is that a good idea? Ha ha. ”

Zhao Dahao seemed to see Chen Yangzhe's shadow from Chen Daojun, and laughed.

Chen Dongji was sitting at home resting when he suddenly received a strange phone call.

"Who?"

He answered the phone with a frown.

"I'm BAT President Lee Hak-jae."

"Connect."

Chen Dongji took a deep breath and picked up the earpiece.

"Oh, I said, who is this? Director Li. No, President Lee, what are you doing? ”

"Maybe it would be better when I was the head of the room, I didn't contact you to lament your situation"

"If you have something to say, you don't have to beat around the bush."

Chen Dongji was a little irritable, he didn't feel that he had something to say to Li Xuezai.

"Shall we have dinner together? I have a fascinating story to tell you that will be of interest to you. ”

A compelling story?

Although it was clear that the story was never engaging, Chen obediently did so.

"Even if there is no compelling story, I am not saying no to having dinner with Chairman Lee, and I will not miss my old feelings when we meet again after a long absence."

"So, how about tonight?"

Seeing that he was in a hurry to see him, he obviously had something to ask.

Chen Dongji is naturally indispensable.

However, Chen Dongji was surprised twice tonight.

The first is the change of Li Xuezai after meeting for a long time.

His appearance doesn't seem to have changed much, but the fierceness and coldness of serving his father are gone.

A gentle smile, a casual laugh, as if a different person, but not embarrassed.

The second is because of the appointment he made.

Chen Dongji didn't know why, he felt that there was nothing good.

When he listened to Li Xuezai's words, he was directly stunned: "So, you mean to join forces with us to develop the Dubai project?" ”

"Yes."

"Why?"

Li Xuezai did not avoid Chen Dongji's skeptical gaze.

"Is it a technical problem, is there anything else?"

"Technology? Could it be that Daya Construction lacks technology, right, I remember that Daya Construction has very complete qualifications? ”

Li Xuezai sighed and drank a glass of wine.

"Shangyan Cave is the only big project, and all the experienced early veterans of Shunyang Construction have left early, and I know very well that no one has the experience to build that kind of high-rise building in Dubai, and I am really not sure."

The risk of large overseas projects is incomparable to domestic demand.

This is a game where time must be traded for space, because the risks are high and the rewards are high.

But without experience and technology, such a tall building would not have been built.

"All the experienced early members of Daya have been caught stealing money or evading taxes, so the company can't let them go, hehe, I see."

Chen Dongji replaced him with a wry smile, but it seemed to be a pity to hide his joy.

"Do you have any ideas for collaboration?"

"I don't know how the consortium between BAT and Shunyang will cooperate."

If the negotiation starts with the formation of a consortium, Chen Dongji thought to himself, if he wants to make more money, the last one can be subcontracted.

Chen soon began to calculate the cake that the two companies had to share, and how to make his own cake bigger.

Unlike neighboring Middle Eastern countries, Dubai, which has scarce oil resources, has long developed into a logistics hub in the Middle East.

In the 2000s, Dubai, which relied on large-scale foreign borrowing and large-scale civil works, developed into a symbol of super-rapid growth in the Middle East.

In July 2006, Dubai, the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), felt the need for a company to undertake this large-scale redevelopment project and established Dubai World.

As a state-owned enterprise, Dubai World is a construction company at the forefront of development.

Plans for the Dubai World Centre have been announced around the world.

Dubai World Central, plans are planned to build Dubai Al Maktoum International Airport and some of the facilities around the airport to truly make it the center of the world.

In addition, Dubai has announced a US$2.6 billion investment in the construction of logistics facilities in the Jebel Ali Free Trade Zone, creating a massive downtown redevelopment project that will build on this to create a world-class skyscraper city comparable to New York.

At present, the amount confirmed by BAT Group has reached 30 billion US dollars, which is a big piece of fat, and I don't know how much money will flow here in the future.

Therefore, as soon as the investment plan came out, it attracted companies from all over the world to participate.

Li Xuezai proposed to cooperate to go to such a place, and Chen Dongji couldn't help but be moved after reading the information.

"As far as I know, Ta Ya Construction has invested a lot of resources in the construction of the 'Burj Khalifa'......? Why do you have to get in, and what is the design, can't I ask the team of Shunyang Construction now? ”

Construction began in 2004 and the Burj Khalifa is the symbol of Dubai's skyscrapers.

With a height of 829.8m and a height of 828m, the building is 163 floors high, and will be the tallest building ever built by mankind when completed.

Li Xuezai's expression did not change.

"We're just putting in a lot of labor, but there's a big gap in core manpower. If we can bring in the people, materials and money that BAT Group lacks from Shunyang Construction, we can be much more relaxed. ”

However, if his posture is too low, the cunning Li Hak-jae may have other ideas.

Always show that you are relaxed, which is the most important thing in a negotiation.

"Good luck then, anyway, I hope you take my offer seriously."

"How big do you think we can get a piece of the pie? Airport? New city? Or logistics? ”

"Isn't more the merrier? If you can take it all on a turnkey basis, that's certainly the best. ”

When Li Xuezai's mouth said such words, Chen Dongji frowned.

"People who know everything would say such stupid things, why should someone win the bid for you?"

"Behind us, there is a reliable water supply system that is supported day by day, and the BAT Group's internal reserves are also strong. As I said, we are inexperienced and technologically advanced, but shouldn't it be a good opportunity to make up for each other's shortcomings? ”

At this time, Li Xuezai proposed a choice.

"Considering that I used to be in Shunyang, I made this suggestion, but if you don't like it, then I can not propose."

Looking at Chen Daojun and aggressively attacking him, Chen Dongji smiled bitterly.

"If you don't like the end, don't I pretend I didn't hear it?"

"The amount is too big, one person can't finish it, if you don't share it, you may just have to watch, anyway... Think carefully and let me know as soon as possible. Because I can't wait forever. ”

Chen Dongji smiled: "If I refuse, of course you will join forces with others, right?" ”

He snorted coldly in his heart.

It is certain that if he does not reach an agreement with himself, Li Xuezai will definitely go to Chen Rongji and not say anything, which is another blow to him.

"Of course, in fact, this proposal came from Great Britain first, and I seem to have heard that I am preparing to make efforts to acquire construction companies and collect companies that are slightly lower, such as Galaxy and Nam Kwong."

Chen Dongji knows that this so-called acquisition is all fake:

"Okay, I'll finish it as soon as possible and get back to you immediately, President, or is Shunyang Group not Chairman Li's family? It's better to see us together. ”

"Shouldn't it just be good-looking? We need to take care of each other, so let's stop here and have a drink together. ”

They had a little drink and the atmosphere was nice.

However, Chen Dongji has always felt that Li Xuezai's suggestion may be a trap.

Mousetrap with delicious cheese.

However, the shape of the mousetrap is not drawn, only the aroma of cheese is clearly visible.

How to choose, is to cooperate with Chen Daojun to win the project and then share the profits.

It's better to go to Chen Rongji now, anyway, I know all the operation procedures, and if there are other situations, I should be able to deal with them in time.

Thinking of this, Chen Dongji breathed a sigh of relief:

"Then if we cooperate, in terms of profit, I want 5%!"
