"...This railway, which is at least 1,000 kilometers closer than the Ulaanbaatar railway, will become the most convenient channel connecting the two major markets of China and Russia. It is conceivable that the constant flow of trains will bring us huge profits. And
With this railway, the cattle and sheep in northwest Mongolia, as well as the minerals on both sides of the railway, will have more convenient access to the markets of China and Russia. By then, the Borjijin family, which has the greatest interests, will not only have their ancestors left behind
Instead, it will become a huge family as wealthy and influential in the world as the Arab royal family!"
Liu Dong was frothing at the mouth as he described to Hu Lei the beautiful scene after the successful railway construction in the future!
Although this scenario would be very difficult to implement, it is not completely impossible.
With the influence of the Golden Family in Mongolia, if they are willing, they can get the Mongolian government to pass the construction plan of this railway!
In addition, Liu Dong's influence can also enable the implementation of this railway, which is less than 100 kilometers within China. More importantly, with this railway, China will be able to more conveniently obtain markets and resources from Mongolia.
, and Russia’s richer resource support, the country’s development will be faster.
It can be said to be a hundred benefits without any harm!
As for Russia, what they desire most now is to develop the country's economy and have more channels to enter the Chinese market. Naturally, they will not refuse. And it is now the honeymoon period between the two countries.
"Where does the investment for this railway come from?" Hu Lei, who was silent for a while after Liu Dong finished speaking, suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Liu Dong was overjoyed, and he knew that Su Lei's heart was moved.
"Don't worry about the funds, I will provide them!"
"Are you coming to invest?" Hu Lei said in surprise.
"That's right!"
Liu Dong nodded affirmatively. The investment for an electrified two-way railway and its ancillary facilities is 2,000,000 Chinese yuan per kilometer. Although there has been no on-site measurement for the time being, it is not yet known how long this railway will be built, but it is certain that it will exceed 1,000 kilometers.
. When Liu Dong only plans to build a single line first, one kilometer is worth 1,000,000 Chinese coins, 1,000 kilometers is worth 1,000 million Chinese coins, which is 1.2 billion when converted into US dollars. Although this amount of money is difficult for most people
It’s an astronomical figure to imagine, but for Liu Dong, who holds a huge capital of 22 billion U.S. dollars, it is only one-twentieth of the figure.
"If you pay, how will the right of way be calculated?"
"Hanhua Group and the Borzhijin family jointly control the road rights. In terms of share division, the Borzhijin family can get 51%!" Liu Dong said.
Although Liu Dong felt somewhat regretful about giving away the controlling stake of the railway, he also knew that if he wanted to turn this railway from a mere paper plan into a practical and practical reality, he must give up the money.
The Erzhijin family controls the railway.
After all, railways are too special. The Mongolians will never hand over the controlling stake of the national railway to a foreigner!
"So the Borjijin family can get 51% of the shares of this railway without paying any price?" Hu Lei asked in a solemn voice.
"That's right!" Liu Dong nodded.
However, after listening to what he said, Hu Lei's face did not show any joy, and he still stared at Liu Dong. After a long time, he said: "Liu Dong, tell me your conditions!"
Although the two of them had not known each other for a long time, Hu Lei could feel that he and Liu Dong were the same kind of people.
Calm, cautious, and not lacking in decisiveness. He dares to take action when faced with huge benefits. But he will not give up easily when faced with the benefits that can be obtained.
"Brother Hu Lei is smart. In fact, my requirements are not high, as long as you can help me get a few mining certificates!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
"Proof of mining?"
"That's right!"
"Which mine do you like?"
"Haha, now is not the time to talk. It won't be too late to wait until we actually reach a cooperation agreement and sign the contract! Of course, I am also willing to cooperate with the Borjijin family on these mines!"
Liu Dong was not stupid, so how could he tell the specific address of the mine he found without any guarantee?
You must know that after entering Outer Mongolia, he traveled through the Gobi Desert for nearly half a month. He found this huge mineral deposit after going through a lot of hardships.
Although this was just a by-product of the fruitless search for Genghis Khan's treasure, Liu Dong knew very well that there was an anthracite coal mine with reserves of 8 billion tons, a high-grade magnetite with reserves of 1.5 billion tons, and a copper mine with reserves of 8 million tons of refined copper.
The value of it is amazing. Once the Borjijin family gets the news, whether they are still willing to cooperate with Liu Dong is a question.
Seeing that Liu Dong remained silent, Hu Lei knew that he would not be able to get anything out if he asked again. So, he brought the topic back to the railway.
"Your railway plan is indeed exciting, but if you want to maximize profits, it must be connected to the northern railway network of China in the south. The Trans-Siberian Railway in Russia is connected to the north. This involves the governments of three countries! I can do it with Mongolia.
Although it is difficult to find a way, once we have secured the funds, and with the influence of our Borjijin family, we can win over a few interested families, and it should not be too difficult to bring this railway to fruition."
"Let me think of a solution for China, there should be no problem!" Liu Dongxin said.
With his current economic status, he is already qualified to talk to national leaders. Moreover, the construction of this railway is beneficial to the country's development. As long as he can divide some interests and win over a few allies, it will not be difficult for the country to win.
Agree with the construction of this railway!
Hu Lei, who knew Liu Dong's strength, was also very confident in his words.
"What about Russia?" Hu Lei said.
"Russia?"
Liu Dong frowned.
In this northern country, which has a strong military that can compete with the United States, but whose economic strength is only slightly stronger than Switzerland, and behind Brazil and even worse than South Korea, Liu Dong really has no friends who are powerful enough to influence the Russian government.
"We will first solve the construction plans for the Mongolian and Chinese sections. If successful, I think it will be much easier to apply to the Russian government with these two plans."
After finishing speaking, Liu Dong's mind flashed with the figure of Khodorkovsky, "Maybe he is a good breakthrough!"
Hu Lei agreed with Liu Dong's proposal!
Faced with China, a large and rapidly rising market, it would be strange for Russia not to be tempted.
After nodding, Hu Lei picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "This glass of wine will wish us smooth cooperation!"
"Good cooperation! Do it!"
"Dry!"
After both parties finished the drink, Hu Lei unexpectedly put down his glass and took out a document and put it in Liu Dong's hand.
"What's this?"
"You'll know just by looking at it!" Hu Lei said with a smile.
Driven by curiosity, Liu Dong opened the document and took a look at it, and Liu Dong understood instantly. It was not just him who wanted something else for today's drink. Hu Lei also had impure motives.
"congratulations!"
After browsing through it quickly, Liu Dong put down the document and said with a somewhat envious smile.
For a large oil and gas field with reserves of 800 million tons of crude oil and at least 12 billion cubic meters, Liu Dong could feel the envy welling up deep in his heart.
"Thank you! This was just discovered by the company in the South Gobi last month!"
Although Liu Dong would not tell the location of the several large mineral deposits he discovered, Hu Lei didn't care at all. After all, this oil and gas field was on Mongolian soil.
"How do you want to collaborate?"
Liu Dong was not a fool. From the moment the other party took the initiative to take out this document, he knew that Hu Lei must be like him and wanted to turn this oil field into tangible wealth.
"A 300-kilometer oil pipeline from Mongolia to China!" Hu Lei was not polite and directly stated his plan.
"Oil pipeline?" Liu Dong smiled.
"That's right!" After nodding affirmatively, Hu Lei said again: "Of course, I won't let you suffer. After the matter is completed, I can promise to give you 5% of the shares in the oil field!"
After pondering for a while, Liu Dong said: "Why don't you just go to Sinopec* and Sinopec* Chemicals? I think they are more suitable than me!"
"Liu Dong, you know, although the Borzhijin family was once glorious, it is just a family now and cannot represent the Mongolian government. As a private company, I also don't like to deal with people from the government! In addition, you seem to
You may be mistaken, I have never planned to sell the oil and natural gas from the oil fields directly to China's two major oil giants, but to you!"
"Me?" After smiling, "Hu Lei, you don't know that PetroChina is directly operated by the state, right?"
"Of course I know! But China's state specializes in the sale of oil, but there is no requirement that the processing link must be state-owned! I believe in your financial resources and the ability of Pacific Petroleum Industry Company to invest in Inner Mongolia to process 1,000,000 tons of crude oil per year.
There shouldn’t be any problems with the above petrochemical plants, right?”
"Of course there is a problem! Inner Mongolia lacks fresh water resources, and I want to solve the problem of industrial water. For the construction of a petrochemical plant with a capacity of processing tens of millions of tons of crude oil, I need approval from the Ministry of Industry of the State Council, and I also need to provide for these
The products of petroleum processing are looking for a market! The money and energy spent before and after is not as simple as you and I sitting here and talking about it! If you add oil pipelines, the consumption of funds and energy will double!"
After Liu Dong finished speaking, Hu Lei thought for a moment, then filled Liu Dong's wine glass again with a smile on his face, "Liu Dong, can you tell me your conditions?"
Hearing this, Liu Dong's lips curled up.
What I just said is so difficult, just because I want to strive for better cooperation conditions for myself. After all, a large oil and gas field of this scale is simply a big piece of fat that is delivered to the mouth of Pacific Petroleum Industry Company.
If I didn't pounce on it and take a bite, I would be really sorry for the opportunity that Hu Lei offered me!
