"By the way, how is the discussion about investing in the mines in Bolivia going?" Liu Dong said.
"On the 7th of last month, we signed a development agreement for the Robana Iron Mine with the Bolivian government!"
"Robana Iron Ore?"
"Yes, this is a very large iron ore located in Beni Province in northern Bolivia. It has a total reserve of 2 billion tons and a rich iron ore with an iron content of 63%!"
"Oh, not bad!" Liu Dong said in surprise.
It’s not like he knows nothing about the steel industry. If Robana Iron Mine is really as good as Jose said, then he has made a profit!
"Yes, yes, but if we want to develop the Robana Iron Mine, the investment in the transportation system alone will be as high as 1 billion U.S. dollars, which nearly doubles our total investment in developing the Robana Iron Mine!
"José said with a bitter smile.
"One billion US dollars, why is it so much?" Liu Dong frowned.
“Because the Robana iron ore mine is located in the Bolivian plateau with complex terrain, if we need to develop it, we must build a railway from the mining area directly to La Paz, and then use the railway from La Paz to the port of Arica to transport the ore for sale! Although from
The straight-line distance from Robana to La Paz is only 150 kilometers, but if you want to pass through the mountainous area, the length of the railway will be nearly doubled, and it will be more difficult! So there will be more investment!"
"Also, because Bolivia's railways are all narrow gauge, if we want to use the original railway in La Paz to transport ore, we can only build narrow gauge with a gauge of 1000mm!"
"You mean we spent US$1 billion just to build a 300-kilometer narrow-gauge railway from the Robina mining area to La Paz?" Liu Dong said in surprise.
"Yes, Master!"
Hearing this, Liu Dong banged his head with a headache. Although narrow-gauge railways are cheaper to fake, their transportation capacity is several times, or even more, worse than that of standard-gauge railways!
Is it worth spending so much money to build a railway with limited capacity?
"Master, I think if we just want to develop the iron ore in Bolivia, the narrow-gauge railway is enough. If we stick to the standard-gauge railway, although it can free up transportation capacity, it will also increase our investment six to seven times in an instant, or even more.
many!"
"Okay then, let's use narrow gauge!" Liu Dong said.
The high investment is intolerable to Liu Dong! Since narrow gauge is enough, then use narrow gauge! After all, he is just an investor, not a Bolivian government official. His starting point is for his own interests, not to develop the Bolivian economy.
!
Moreover, Bolivia’s railway network is narrow gauge, so there is no need for it to be innovative. It must be built to standard standards!
"yes!"
"By the way, Jose! We can't let the money we invest in building the railway go to waste. You should immediately negotiate with the Bolivian government to buy all the mineral deposits within 50 kilometers along the railway!" Liu Dong said.
"Master, if we continue to invest, I'm afraid all the gold and the loan line from Bank of America you gave me will be used up!"
"Use it if you want! What we have gained from Standard Chartered Bank stocks is enough for me!" Liu Dong said.
And what he didn't say was that during this trip to Central Asia, he had already gained more, and the funds that had been a bit tight to implement various industrial expansion plans have gradually become abundant!
"I understand, young master. I will follow your instructions as soon as possible!"
"Well! Let's do this for now! Remember to notify me in time if anything happens!"
After Liu Dong hung up the phone, he turned around and saw Wang Qiang walking in with a rosy face.
"What's wrong?"
Just after he asked, he noticed a hint of shyness in the other person's eyes, and Liu Dong suddenly understood, "Did Mom tell you about the pregnancy?"
"Um!"
After tapping her head lightly, Wang Qiang sat down on the sofa next to Liu Dong. After Liu Dong stretched out his right hand, her delicate body naturally fell into his arms!
The silent tenderness and intimacy have become the most tacit habit of understanding between two people when they are alone!
While they were silently expressing their love for each other, Wang Qiang suddenly turned to look at her man. "Xiaodong, how about we follow what mom said and have a baby next year?"
Seeing the longing in his lover's eyes, Liu Dong smiled bitterly in his heart. Wang Qiang had said the same thing to him many times, but he knew his own affairs!
It's not that he doesn't want to have a baby, it's that before he has fully mastered the Huan*Xi Zen technique, the hope of getting a woman pregnant is too slim and depends entirely on luck!
When ancient people practiced Taoism and Qigong, they often said "refining essence and transforming Qi"! Yang essence is the root of life. It contains huge life potential, so cultivating internal strength is a kind of native skill of refining essence and transforming Qi!
If you want to make rapid progress, you must have sufficient energy, which is why Tongzi Kung Fu is so important.
Of course, you can also take various medicinal materials the day after tomorrow and use dietary supplements to promote essence and qi, and then promote the improvement of internal strength and develop the potential of the human body!
However, in the final analysis, this is still a skill of refining Qi, so the consequence is difficulty in childbirth! Unless your internal strength can break through the Baodan realm, return to the innate nature the day after tomorrow, and develop the Qi of the God of Grains, also known as the innate Qi! Only
Only in this way can we truly collect pure spiritual energy from the outside world to meet our own needs and completely get rid of fertility difficulties.
Of course, people who practice external martial arts will have no trouble conceiving at the expense of their bodies.
Moreover, the deeper the inner strength is practiced, the higher the efficiency of refining the Qi before a breakthrough is achieved, and the more difficult it is to get a woman pregnant.
Therefore, Liu Dong knew very well that unless he was really lucky, before his inner strength entered the realm of holding pills, whether it was Wang Qiang or Lin Ling, if they wanted to successfully conceive, they could only ask God for mercy!
However, it was difficult for him to tell Wang Qiang such a thing, so he could only agree verbally. However, it can be seen from the longing eyes of the other party and the coercion of the mother that the child has been placed in the most important position in their hearts.
.
And Wang Qiang needs a child to stabilize her position as the eldest wife of the Liu family!
In this matter, Liu Dong, who originally felt that he owed her a lot, was also very willing to let Wang Qiang be the first to become pregnant, and then give birth to a boy and inherit the Liu family business!
But Liu Dong knew that it was extremely difficult to break through the transformation state and return the merits to his innate nature. Many people would not be able to see it in their lifetime. Although he was confident that he could break through, he didn't know exactly how long it would take!
"It seems that if I find the time, I will go to various places to search for the whereabouts of the Buddha's relics!" Liu Dong thought to himself.
Now, the only thing he can think of that can help him achieve a breakthrough in internal skills as soon as possible is the Relic Yuanguang!
After making a decision in his heart, Liu Dong did not want to continue to discuss this topic too much, lest Wang Qiang would be sad when the promise could not be fulfilled!
"By the way, Sister Wang, didn't you say at the last annual meeting that you wanted to acquire one or two luxury brands from Richemont Group? How is it now?"
Liu Dong's words really succeeded in diverting Wang Qiang's attention. Having been in charge of a large company with more than 60,000 employees for a long time, Wang Qiang, who is soft on the outside but strong on the inside, has become somewhat of a strong woman.
"The acquisition is complete!"
"Yeah?"
"Well, in the contract we just signed at the end of last month, we spent US$124.5 billion to acquire three luxury brands of Van Cleef & Arpels, Piaget and Lange under the Richemont Group, as well as the three brands' direct sales in 8 stores around the world.
Camp!"
After nodding, Liu Dong praised: "Okay, Sister Wang! You are becoming more and more powerful as a strong woman!"
"Oh, don't interrupt me! Just don't blame me for spending money randomly. Buying these three brands at once will not only spend all the funds accumulated by the group, but the group's business will also be greatly expanded. I
I'm afraid that I won't be qualified for the position of president of the company!" Wang Qiang said worriedly.
Since acquiring three luxury brands from Richemont Group, Dongchao Group has developed from a purely domestic company into a truly international luxury goods company.
Moreover, the company's business has also developed from initially focusing on jewelry, antiques, luxury woodwork, auctions and galleries to now covering the original business and further expanding into large luxury goods such as high-end watches, high-end perfumes and high-end timepieces.
Product industry!
Taking this step, Dongchao Group is now in two completely different worlds. In addition to further consolidating its dominance in the domestic jewelry and luxury goods industry, it also has to compete with those world-class companies internationally.
Luxury goods giants compete for the market.
This must be a great pressure for Wang Qiang, who is the main manager of the company.
Seeing the haggard look on the beauty's face, Liu Dong said distressedly: "Sister Wang, don't work too hard in the future. Otherwise, no matter how well the company develops and how much money you make, you will fall down from exhaustion.
, I will feel distressed!"
"Well, I know!" Noting the concern on Liu Dong's face, Wang Qiang felt deeply sweet in her heart.
Zhen rested her head on her lover's shoulder and smelled the familiar smell on the tip of her nose. A strong sense of security surrounded Wang Qiang's heart, making her involuntarily let go of all the shells she had on her body when facing all kinds of people outside.
Come down, release your true and weak self, lean quietly in the arms of your lover, cling to him, hold him gently, wandering in the harbor of love, forget all the troubles in the world, and just want to be forever
Have the peace and serenity now!
Liu Dong, who was closely attached to each other heart to heart, clearly felt Wang Qiang's attachment. So, he put down everything in his mind, and just quietly hugged the beautiful woman's slender waist, looking at her supple body.
Her long hair hung down on her chest and back, smelling the fragrance of her bun, and watching her sleep quietly in his arms!
