"There is also France's Renault Group, which has its sights on Daewoo Motor's car factory in Poland. South Korea's Doosan Group, they have its sights on Daewoo Heavy Industries. American Citroën Petroleum Company, they have its sights on Pacific Petroleum Industries! News Corp.'s Murdaugh

of people!"
Listening to Martin Bouygues's admiring voice, Liu Dong raised his eyebrows.
But, indeed! Liu Dong did not expect that there would be so many pretenders at first.
"Mr. Bouygues, last question!"
"You want to know where Sally Krawcheck is?"
"That's right!" Liu Dong said without hesitation.
He can allow hostility and forgive surrendering enemies, but he will never allow betrayal!
"I really want to tell you, but in fact I don't know where she is. Sally is a smart person, and it is not easy to find her. However, the United States is definitely a place she will definitely go to, and her family
Right there!"
"I see!"
After a pause and a brief silence, Liu Dong said: "I am basically satisfied with Mr. Bouygues's answer. Our cooperation can still be carried out in accordance with the contract. However, I hope that Mr. Bouygues can handle the financial affairs of the Bouygues Group."
Entrusted to Standard Chartered Bank!”
The so-called financial entrustment is to hand over the Bouygues Group's profit funds, capital turnover, employee company salary payment, etc. to Standard Chartered Bank.
I believe that if the Bouygues Group, a Fortune 500 giant, joins, it will play a decisive role in stabilizing the stock price of Standard Chartered Bank, boosting the sluggish working atmosphere of Standard Chartered Bank, and curbing runs and the escape of custody assets.
"Ahem. Liu! Bouygues Group's finance has been cooperating with Agricultural Bank of France. You can't ask me to breach the contract before the contract expires, right? This will cost a lot of money!"
"These guys actually want to bet on both ends, but it's not that easy!" Liu Dong thought.
Although he knew that Martin Bouygues did not want to offend him, let alone the alliance between Stillman and Rothschild. But he also wanted to get benefits from both sides. But he knew that Liu Dong would never let him
Succeeded so easily.
"Mr. Bouygues, in the contract we signed, you got a large piece of land! You can get huge profits in the future. But this huge profit is enough to exceed 5 billion US dollars, and you are going to use these red words
Can White Fang take it easily?"
"Liu, that's not what you said at the beginning! Moreover, the shares of Abbey National Bank have been handed over to you, and US$2.5 billion is a reasonable price!" Martin Bouygues said angrily.
"I remember at the beginning, I said that I would agree to your request only if you can satisfy me. Obviously, you didn't tell me too many valuable things. In addition, Abi National Bank US$2.5 billion
Is trading 21% of the shares a conscientious price? What happened to Stella’s collapse?”
Listening to the anger in Liu Dong's words, Martin Bouygues fell silent.
He knew that if he didn't show some sincerity, even if Liu Dong agreed to cooperate today, there would still be bad blood between the two parties in the future.
After realizing Liu Dong's background and strong future, Martin Bouygues did not want this grudge to affect the cooperation between the two parties. Especially the future cooperation in the Chinese market.
"What do you want?" Martin Bouygues said calmly after a long silence.
"It's very simple!" Liu Dong smiled slightly. He finally won a round in this duel. "Last time, I remember Mr. Bouygues told me that the reason why he wanted to sell the shares of Abbey National Bank was to raise a small amount of money.
A sum of funds was used to acquire Vivendi Environmental Company, a subsidiary of Vivendi. I happen to be very interested in several companies under the Vivendi Group. Why don't you do Mr. Bouygues a favor and buy it for me! What will it cost after the acquisition is successful?
How about I add 5% more and return it to Mr. Bouygues?”
"All the subsidiaries of the Vivendi Group are worth billions of dollars, and the Bouygues Group's financial resources can only help you acquire one of them!" Martin Bouygues said after a long silence.
"Okay, just one company! Universal Music and Universal Movies, any one of these two companies can successfully acquire them!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
"Okay! I agree! However, I hope that after the success of this transaction, we can sign a real legally binding Yanjiao New City Development Contract. Not just an agreement!"
When you pay the price, you will naturally reap the rewards.
"Okay, I promise you!"
Liu Dong promised.
He already has enough enemies, there is no need to push Martin Bouygues to the opposite side.
Just when Liu Dong hung up the phone with Martin Bouygues, Helen, who had just been summoned by another phone call, ran in with an excited expression without knocking on the door.
"Honey, we found the baby!"
"Baby, what baby?" Seeing Helen's happy expression, Liu Dong was confused.
"Come with me quickly!"
Without any explanation, Helen took Liu Dong's right hand and hurriedly ran out of the cabin of the Gonggong. When the two took the helicopter to the Ocean Explorer salvage ship again, Liu Dong saw the exquisite and beautiful statue surrounded by the crowd.
A tall bronze statue.
The bronze statue is wearing a Greek robe, about 3 meters tall, with a crown on its head, a scepter in its right hand, and an olive branch representing peace in its left hand. From its female image, Liu Dong understood that this was Athena, who represented war and peace in Greek mythology.
goddess.
This exquisite image of the goddess Athena does not exist alone. She is placed on a chariot drawn by four huge bronze horses.
Anyone who truly understands Greek culture knows that the sculptures of the Greek glorious period were basically made of bronze. The reason why there are more sculptures representing Greek culture today are made of marble than bronze, mainly because they are more from the Roman period.
A copy. It is not the original from the Greek period.
The most representative one is the world-famous sculpture: The Discus Thrower. It is a copy of the original Greek bronze sculpture made by an ancient Roman sculptor based on the trophies.
Obviously, the huge hybrid sculpture that is now more than 5 meters long and more than 4 meters tall with the carriage in front of Liu Dong's eyes is the most brilliant artistic creation of the Greek Antiquity period more than 2,000 years ago.
What's even more rare is that it has been well preserved by the sea water. Except for some dirt that is stained on the surface but can be cleaned, the entire huge sculpture has no defects at all.
"Athena, the God of War, is the greatest discovery of the 21st century. Its importance and artistic value are no less than the treasures of the Palace of Versailles, Venus and the Goddess of Victory!"
"That's right. It is so beautiful, and the civilization of ancient Greece is so brilliant that it is unbelievable."
"Its appearance will surely shock the whole world!"
Listening to the excited words of the three art restoration experts, Croun and Kieran, and looking at the amazed and envious expressions of the people around him, Liu Dong shook his head gently.
He had already known about this statue through the relic Yuan Guang and was not too excited.
It's just that he didn't expect that Croun and the others would clean up this huge statue from the sunken ship so quickly.
Leaving Helen behind to watch, Liu Dong quietly withdrew from the crowd and waved to Ma Chao.
"Brother Dong!"
"Well, I have to leave during this period, and you are responsible for the security on this ship! No one is allowed to use any communication equipment except our people!"
"I understand, Brother Dong, don't worry!" Ma Chao assured him by patting his chest.
"Well! When I finish this trip and go back, I will give you a Yuanding Pill as a reward." Liu Dong promised, patting Ma Chao on the shoulder.
"Thank you, Brother Dong!" Ma Chao said happily.
He had personally experienced the efficacy of Liu Dongyuan's Ding Dan last year when he broke through the dark power. It was precisely because of his personal experience that Ma Chao cherished it.
"Well, go get busy!"
"Then I'll leave first?"
After nodding his head and watching Ma Chao leave, Liu Dong turned his head and looked towards the south where the sky and water meet. There is the African continent, which is rich in resources but extremely chaotic.
Originally, he thought of going to Sudan first to solve the rebellion of the God of War mercenary group and the difficulties encountered by Tesla. But the conversation with Feng Jianhui and the news he got from Martin Bouygues made Liu Dong understand.
If he does not take measures as soon as possible, it will easily lead to a war of attrition with the enemy. In the end, the consequences for Standard Chartered Bank will be disastrous.
Therefore, when the two ships arrived at Port Said in the north of the Suez Canal, Liu Dong quietly got off the yacht. No one was notified. The only ones who knew that Liu Dong had left but did not announce it were Helen and Ma Chao.
After transferring from Port Said to Cairo, Liu Dong boarded a flight to New York from there!
Because no one was notified, when Liu Dong walked out of New York International Airport, no one came to pick him up.
But this was exactly what Liu Dong wanted. After checking the information he wanted to know earlier, Liu Dong took a taxi and stayed in a hotel near New York's Central Park for a while.
When night fell, Liu Dong took out the prepared human skin mask from the mustard space, put it on himself, and then opened the window of the guest room!
Because of his special request, the guest room is not high from the ground, only about 15 meters on the fourth floor.
At such a small height, Liu Dong could easily jump down from above quietly.
It was already after 3 o'clock in the morning, and it was winter again. Even on the streets of New York, which is known as the city that never sleeps, there were not many pedestrians!
But this is exactly what Liu Dong wants.
After briefly looking around and identifying the direction, Liu Dong found a deserted place, took out the car from the Mustard Space, and drove towards his planned destination.
