After separating from Chen Qing and the others, Liu Dong did not go back to the small hotel where he stayed, but took Pige to the most luxurious hotel in Ulaanbaatar. 8 novel`
Of course, in Liu Dong's opinion, this so-called most luxurious hotel is actually nothing more than a three-star hotel at best.
After taking the elevator upstairs, Liu Dong found the house number mentioned on the phone and knocked on the door.
Not long after, as the door opened, a gentle young man wearing a dark blue suit and gold-rimmed glasses appeared in front of Liu Dong.
"Chairman!"
Seeing Liu Dong standing outside the door, the young man quickly said respectfully.
"Is Mr. Feng inside?"
"Yes, Mr. Feng and Mr. Cui are both inside!"
After nodding, Liu Dong strode in.
"What a strong man!"
Seeing Pige walking in behind Liu Dong, the young man had a look of surprise on his face.
"Chairman!"
"Chairman!"
Feng Jianhui and Cui Dongchen, who had already heard the movement at the door, had already stood up when Liu Dong walked in.
"I kept you waiting for a long time!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter, it just so happens that we can take a break while the chairman is not here!" After finishing his words, Feng Jianhui glanced at Pige behind Liu Dong and said, "Chairman, this is...?"
"Oh, his name is...Liu Shan, my new bodyguard in Mongolia!"
That was enough when he was in the hands of Khodorkovsky. Now that the other party is following him, it would be inappropriate to call him after him. Therefore, Liu Dong temporarily decided to name the other party after his own surname.
a name.
"Liu Shan? Bodyguard?"
Feng Jianhui was stunned for a moment. He had been with Liu Dong for more than three years, and he had never seen a bodyguard appear next to the chairman. But looking at this Liu Shan man, as the name suggests, he was really strong and built like a small mountain, and his whole body was thick.
Excessive muscles. Although we don't know how strong he is yet, as a bodyguard, this deterrence is enough.
"Come on, everyone, sit down!"
Liu Dong did not explain much about Liu Shan's issue, and asked the secretary who opened the door just now to take Liu Shan to dinner. In the room, Liu Dong asked the two of them to sit down. Then he said directly to Feng Jianhui and Cui Dongchen: "It's over.
After the Daewoo Group incident, I wanted to keep you in China to take charge of the establishment of the Hanhua Group Headquarters and the Hanhua Economic Research Center, but I suddenly encountered something here and I need your help!"
Hearing this, Feng Jianhui and Cui Dongchen looked at each other. In fact, they were also quite curious. Liu Dong was fine, why did he suddenly come to a "remote country" like Mongolia?
This is not an economically developed place, nor does it have many places of interest!
However, doubts were doubts, and their attention soon shifted to the topic revealed by Liu Dong, and they forgot the doubts at the beginning.
"20% of Yukos Oil Company's shares? China-Russia oil pipeline? Chairman, is this all true?" Feng Jianhui couldn't help but ask.
"That's right! I have already met Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the chairman of Yukos Oil Company! This is what he said to me personally!" Liu Dong nodded.
After pondering for a while, Feng Jianhui frowned and said: "Chairman, since the disintegration of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, the economy of both Russia and other CIS countries has not been very good. Although Russia has been affected by Putin.
It has recovered somewhat after coming to power, but the market is still filled with the color of power economy, and the social and economic order is far less fair and orderly than that of China, the United States and European countries! Moreover, in the early 21st century, the Russian government's tendency to crack down on the oligarchic economy has become increasingly obvious.
And Khodorkovsky is the largest economic oligarch in Russia. Therefore, I am not too optimistic about our cooperation with Khodorkovsky! As for the Sino-Russian oil pipeline...!"
Feng Jianhui shook his head with a heavy expression, "Although our Hanhua Group is very powerful, as a private consortium, we do not have the power to influence the country's major policies, especially in an official-oriented society like China.
!”
Liu Dong was not surprised by Feng Jianhui's answer!
After more than three years of getting along, he also understood Feng Jianhui's character. He is a handsome man who is both steady and pioneering. However, in comparison, Feng Jianhui's character tends to be more steady and less pioneering. This is also
The reason why Liu Dong chose him to be the president of Hanhua Group.
However, compared to Feng Jianhui, Cui Dongchen's talent is not inferior to him. But in terms of personality, the two are quite opposite.
Cui Dongchen is a little less stable in terms of stability, but he is better than Feng Jianhui in terms of pioneering and enterprising!
"Chief Cui, what do you think?"
Faced with Liu Dong's inquiry, Cui Dongchen, who had been silent before, calmly said: "The Sino-Russian oil pipeline is too difficult, and I am not very optimistic about whether it can be successful without sufficient proof! However, Yukos Oil Company's 20%
The shares are an opportunity for us!”
"Opportunity?" Liu Dong raised his eyebrows.
"That's right!"
After nodding, Cui Dongchen continued: "From a macro level, the current Sino-Russian relationship has almost entered its honeymoon due to mutual economic needs, military resistance to pressure from the United States and NATO, and the disappearance of political differences.
Period! Therefore, Sino-Russian trade is generally worth looking forward to in the future. For Hanhua Group, which has a Chinese investment background, there is not much political obstacle to entering the Russian market."
"Also, from a micro level, controlling 20% of the shares of Yukos Petroleum Company can further enhance the strength of Pacific Petroleum Industries and its voice in the global oil industry. In addition, Yukos Petroleum Company has 20% of the shares
The shares are not large, and certainly not small. It just helps us to test the Russian government’s attitude towards foreign capital like ours entering the Russian energy industry, especially the oil industry. If they don’t want to offend their growing influence in China and even the world
If the Hanhua Group is bigger and the Chinese government is behind us, then even if Khodorkovsky falls, our shares in Yukos Petroleum Company will not be greatly affected!"
"More importantly, if our hypothesis is true, then the Russian market, which is rich in resources and has amazing potential, will open to us! There are amazing amounts of coal, iron, oil, natural gas, copper, silver, nickel, cadmium, etc.
Ten kinds of precious metals, even forests, and land resources will make us a lot of money if we enter them!"
At the end of his speech, Cui Dongchen's tone also became excited.
The reason for this is mainly because the resource-rich and vast Russian market was once the target of Daewoo Group. However, before Cui Dongchen could take action, Daewoo Group had already collapsed due to the 1997 financial crisis.
"Excellent analysis!" Liu Dong nodded.
Cui Dongchen's wonderful depiction also moved Liu Dong's heart.
"Chairman, what Chief Cui said is indeed correct, but the total assets of Yukos Petroleum Company are no less than our Pacific Petroleum. If we acquire 20% of its shares, we will need at least US$3 billion in funds! And we have just acquired Daewoo.
We in the group can no longer afford so much money!"
Feng Jianhui was afraid that Liu Dong would not be able to resist temptation again, so he quickly reminded him.
"Jianhui, don't worry, money is not an issue!"
After listening to Liu Dong's words, Cui Dongchen smiled.
Among the three people present, apart from Liu Dong, he was the only one who knew that Liu Dong still held a huge amount of US$22 billion in funds that he had contributed.
Moreover, after a series of transfers, all the funds have fallen into Liu Dong's control.
This is also the reason why Cui Dongchen's suggestion just now was more positive than Feng Jianhui's. Because Feng Jianhui didn't know that Liu Dong still had such a large amount of funds in his hands, and it was still in cash.
Thinking of Liu Dong's performance over the years, after giving him a strange look, Feng Jianhui shook his head slightly: "If the chairman has sufficient funds, I will not object to the decision to acquire 20% of the shares of Yukos Oil Company! However, after talking to Yukos
When negotiating with Kos, we might as well try to lower the price. Based on our understanding of the situation in Russia, since Khodorkovsky was willing to give up such an important stake, he must have been under multiple pressures from the country, especially the Russian political circles.
Pressure, and this is our bargaining chip to lower the price!”
"I agree with Mr. Feng's opinion! Moreover, judging from Khodorkovsky's initiative to sell off his shares in Yukos Oil Company, he must be planning a way out for himself. Therefore, when we contact each other, we might as well be more
If we have an in-depth exchange of ideas, we might be able to secure a large amount of deposits for Hanhua Bank and Standard Chartered Bank!" Cui Dongchen continued.
Seeing Khodorkovsky, Cui Dongchen seemed to see himself after the 1997 financial crisis. Although the time was different, the experienced Cui Dongchen could tell that the other party was preparing an escape route for him.
After Cui Dongchen’s reminder, combined with Khodorkovsky’s words and deeds, Liu Dong also reacted!
"In this way, Chief Cui, you will be responsible for negotiating with Khodorkovsky about the 20% stake in Yukos Oil Company. The lower the price, the better! But don't delay it too long. Second
Ten days is the bottom line, to avoid long nights and endless dreams!" Liu Dong urged.
"I understand, Chairman!"
After nodding, Liu Dong took out two handwritten documents from his pocket and placed them in front of the two of them. "I originally wanted to discuss it with you when I return to China, but now things have changed, so I
I drafted this document in advance. This is the second reason why I brought you two here!"
