Chapter 1,246 A call from afar
…
"Chairman, the risk is too great now. I don't recommend signing a contract with Yukos Oil Company immediately!" Feng Jianhui said seriously.`
Of course Liu Dong is aware of the risks involved. To put it bluntly, if he doesn't handle it well, his US$1.5 billion will probably be wasted.
Even if the money comes easily, Liu Dong will still feel distressed if he loses 1.5 billion all at once.
As for whether the Russian government will unscrupulously use administrative means to swallow up Yukos Oil Company at a low price, Liu Dong already knows it clearly from her methods of dealing with other Russian oligarchs.
However, the tempting fruit of Yukos, his Chinese identity, and the honeymoon period of international relations between China and Russia made him want to take a gamble.
Even if the Russian government eventually uses administrative means to swallow up Yukos Oil Company at a low price, Liu Dong is willing to compensate him in other ways, and he just needs a channel to contact the Russian government.
After walking around the study twice, Liu Dong, who had been deep in thought for a while, suddenly asked: "How are you preparing for the re-listing of Pacific Petroleum Industries?"
After the wholly-owned acquisition of Unocal, Unocal, which had only one shareholder of Pacific Petroleum Industries, naturally withdrew from the New York stock market. Together with Daewoo Chemical, which was later merged, and the business adjustments of the three companies, Pacific Petroleum Industries' plan to relist has been delayed.
Until now.
"I have already communicated with Guo Kai. The company can be listed at any time... What do you want?"
Looking at Feng Jianhui's shining eyes, Liu Dong smiled and nodded, "I believe that the acquisition of 25% of the shares of Russia's largest oil company, such a major good news, should allow Pacific Petroleum Industries to rise a few more times when it goes public.
Percentage, right?”
More than just a few percentage points, if it works well, Feng Jianhui believes that it can double the price of Pacific Petroleum Industries.
By then, the US$1.5 billion spent on acquiring Yukos Oil Company can be easily earned back from the stock market. Or even more.
"Chairman, you are so wise!" Feng Jianhui praised.`
"Okay, don't put your hat on me! You will be responsible for the signing of the contract with Yukos Oil Company this time. Make the signing ceremony more grand, and it is best to make it known to the whole world!"
Looking at Liu Dong's deep eyes, Feng Jianhui nodded clearly.
"I want to see if the Russian government can really shamelessly swallow up the shares of me, a foreign investor, without any lower limit!" Liu Dongxin said.
"...Also, after signing the contract, don't pay all the money. Three hundred million US dollars in cash plus Hanhua Commercial Bank as guarantee, two-year installment payment!"
"Chairman, what if Khodorkovsky disagrees?"
"I'll give you half a month, and you can negotiate whatever terms you want. Just during this time, let Pacific Petroleum do a road show. After half a month, Hanhua Securities and Standard Chartered will be responsible for stock underwriting, and they will do it in Hong Kong and New York."
On the ground floor!”
"I understand, Chairman!"
"Oh, by the way, I will leave Ulaanbaatar this afternoon! You are responsible for the things here!"
Feng Jianhui, who had long been accustomed to Liu Dong's habit of being the 'hands-off boss', was not that surprised when he left Ulaanbaatar.
"What about our cooperation with Mr. Hu Lei?"
"I have already discussed the general things with him. I can rest assured that I will leave the specific details to you! Moreover, now we can only sign a cooperation intention. If we really want to sign a contract, we have to wait until we get through all the cooperation between the Chinese and Mongolian governments.
It’s only possible with joints! However, I will find a way to do this!”
After hearing this, Feng Jianhui, who understood that the young boss in front of him had great powers, didn't say much.
In his opinion, the China-Mongolia Railway, which has almost zero possibility, has the dawn of realization. Is there anything else that the young boss cannot do?
"By the way, has there been any news about Cui Dongchen?"
Ever since the battle between him and Hu Lei challenging the limits of the human body in the wrestling competition, the news media quickly caused a sensation around the world. It was unavoidable that Liu Dong had turned off the mobile phone he used to communicate with the outside world.
The remaining mobile phone is only known to the family members, relatives and confidante, as well as elders like Mr. Li and Uncle Long, as well as close subordinates like Feng Jianhui, only a few dozen people know about it.
Therefore, when Liu Dong learned about the company's situation recently, he always asked Feng Jianhui directly.
"Yesterday afternoon I received a call from Chief Cui. President Krawcheck has signed an acquisition contract with Morris Company. Standard Chartered Bank will purchase 103% of Abi National Bank's shares from Morris Company for US$1.5 billion.
! Section Chief Cui has reviewed the contract and there is no problem! In addition, he has consulted the British Regulatory Authority and the British government has approved our merger and acquisition of Abbey National Bank!"
"So everything is going well so far!" Liu Dong said calmly.
"Yes!"
"Chairman, do you think... there is something fishy in this?" Feng Jianhui said hesitantly.
"I don't know either, but Abbey National Bank is the sixth largest bank in the UK with a market capitalization of US$14.5 billion. Is it really that easy to be acquired?" Liu Dong said in a calm tone.
The initial acquisition of Standard Bank of South Africa, eight medium-sized banks in the United States, and later Unocal, with the help of super giants such as the Rockefeller family, took Liu Dong two or three months. The subsequent acquisition of Daewoo Group showed all the preparations in advance.
Time, and the subsequent specific acquisitions, took Liu Dong nearly a year and a half.
Now, it had been just over two months since Sally Krawcheck called him to tell him about the sale of Abbey National Bank, and she had actually successfully acquired 326% of the other party's shares.
If you add in the 103% of Abbey National Bank shares that Morris has already acquired, Liu Dong has almost obtained a controlling stake in this major British bank!
Moreover, during the entire acquisition process, the price he paid was not far away from another competitor interested in Abbey National Bank - the National Bank of Spain!
So while he was happy that he was about to successfully acquire a world-class bank, Liu Dong's inner uneasiness also rapidly expanded. Therefore, after receiving more and more good news calls from Sally Krawcheck, he
Cui Dongchen was sent there.
In fact, if the affairs in Mongolia were not too important and Feng Jianhui had to be responsible, Liu Dong would have sent him there as well.
"Do you suspect there is something fishy in this acquisition?" Feng Jianhui asked.
"It's not clear yet, maybe it's just my misunderstanding!" Liu Dong shook his head with a solemn expression.
"Then should we notify President Krachik to suspend negotiations?"
"No need! The opportunity to acquire Abbey National Bank is rare. Now that we are close to success, it would be a pity to give up! Moreover, no matter what the conspiracy is in this acquisition, as long as we get a controlling stake in the company, we will be invincible!
As for other aspects, I already have the means to deal with it!" Liu Dong said with a glint in his eyes.
Looking at Liu Dong with a confident expression, Feng Jianhui's slight uneasiness quickly disappeared!
Over the past few years, he has seen too many impossible things become possible in Liu Dong. Although Liu Dong usually doesn't take care of things, as long as he is around, Feng Jianhui will not worry about what difficulties Hanhua Group will encounter.
Difficulties.
Unknowingly, Liu Dong has become the anchor of Hanhua Group!
"By the way, Chairman, the Group Secretariat has received interview invitations from hundreds of large media outlets such as The Times of England and The Washington Post of the United States...?"
"They want to see if I'm human?" Liu Dong interrupted.
"Yes, now your contest with Mr. Hu Lei has become the hottest topic in the world!" Feng Jianhui said with a smile.
In fact, when he saw the broadcast on Mongolian TV, he was shocked by the inhuman fighting power of his chairman!
Having expected this for a long time, Liu Dong said directly: "Just push them all to me, I don't have time to care about them!"
"Understood! In fact, we have received challenge letters from many masters in the fighting world...!"
Before he finished speaking, Feng Jianhui already knew the answer by looking at the look on Liu Dong's face!
"Okay, I'll tell the secretary to throw them in the trash!"
"There is always no shortage of boring people in the world!" After Feng Jianhui left, Liu Dong looked out the window and muttered to himself.
"Ring ring...!"
When he heard his cell phone ringing, Liu Dong quickly pressed the answer button.
The people who can get through to him at this time are basically the people closest to him.
"Mr. Li, why do you have time to call me?"
"I don't want to fight, but who told you to make such a big fuss in Mongolia!"
"You know everything?"
"Now TV and newspapers across the country are talking about it, do you think I don't know?" Mr. Li asked rhetorically.
"Yes! Then why did you call me? There won't be a challenge letter from me sent to you, right?"
"There is no challenge letter, but a thank you letter was sent to me!"
"Thank you letter?" Liu Dong was a little surprised.
"Yes! Thanks to you, Chinese martial arts is now very popular in the country and even the whole world. The number of people studying under various sects and martial arts schools has increased dozens of times than before! President Liao of the Chinese Martial Arts Association
I couldn’t find your people, so they all sent their banners to me!”
"And there are banners?" Liu Dong was surprised and somewhat dumbfounded.
Although he is also a martial arts practitioner, he has nothing to do with the Chinese Martial Arts Association and has never had any contact with it.
"Not only the banner, but also the certificate. Honorary President of the Chinese Wushu Association, what a great name!" Mr. Li joked.
"Please stop making fun of me, you know I don't value these things!" Liu Dong said with a bitter smile.
"Okay, I won't talk nonsense to you kid. When will you return from Mongolia?"
Listening to the old man's suddenly serious tone, Liu Dong asked: "Is there anything important you have to do here?"
