Chapter eight hundred and forty-eight exchange of interests
Chapter 848: Exchange of Interests
…
Facing the threat of life and death, Lonrado Alfonso completely lost his majesty and pride as the head of the family.
Seeing the look of fear on the other person's face, Liu Dong smiled calmly, "Don't be afraid, Mr. Alfonso. I took the liberty to come here this time without any ill intentions. I didn't want to send Mr. Alfonso to see God. I just simply
I just want to make a deal with Mr. Alfonso!"
"call!"
Hearing this, Ronrado Alfonso breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the other party didn't have murderous intentions, everything else would be easy to talk about!
"What deal?" After calming down, Alfonso said in a deep voice.
“A deal about a gold mine!”
"I can give you all the gold mines in Arica, and we, the Alfonso family, will all give up!" Lonrado Alfonso said immediately.
Although I feel a bit suffocated when I say this decision, the situation is stronger than the people, and this is the decision that the entire Alfonso family has just made!
"No, no, Mr. Alfonso misunderstood. I am willing to hand over all the gold mines in Arica to your family!" Liu Dong shook his head and smiled.
"What? Leave it to us?" Lonrado Alfonso said in surprise.
This rhythm is wrong!
Is there anyone who can give up the fat that is already in their mouth?
"Yes, but your family must exchange for something else!" Liu Dong said directly.
"That's right! There is no free cheese in the world!" Thinking of this, Lonrado Alfonso asked, "What do you want?"
After smiling, Liu Dong said slowly: "30% of the shares of Iquitos Oil and Gas Company!"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
As soon as Liu Dong finished speaking, Lonrado Alfonso refused without hesitation!
"This damn bastard, greedy goblin. How dare they make such shameless demands? How dare he...!" Lonrado Alfonso added all the greedy words he could think of to Liu Dong.
on the head.
No one knows the value of Iquitos Petroleum and Gas Company better than him. This is the largest oil company in Peru that controls 400 million barrels of oil and 120 billion cubic meters of natural gas in Iquitos, with total assets of more than 40 billion US dollars!
And how much does a very large gold mine cost? Even if all 300 tons of gold are dug out and sold on the market, the current gold price in New York will only be US$5 billion!
Moreover, mining and sales still require certain costs, plus various taxes paid, it would be great to save US$4 billion!
If you want to exchange 4 billion US dollars for 30% of the equity of an oil company worth more than 40 billion US dollars, whoever agrees to such a loss-making transaction will be a fool!
More importantly, the Alfonso family has a controlling stake in the Iquitos Oil and Gas Company, and it is the lifeblood of the Alfonso family’s growth. If Liu Dong is really given 30% of the equity, then Alfonso will
The Suo family only holds 28% of the shares in it. From being the majority shareholder with absolute control, it has become an important shareholder who cannot decide the fate of the company! How can you accept this kind of thing?
"Absolutely impossible? Mr. Alfonso, is Iquitos Oil and Gas Company more important than your life?" Liu Dong's face suddenly turned cold, and his whole body was full of murderous intent.
But to his surprise, Lonrado Alfonso nodded without fear, "Yes, Iquitos Petroleum Company is indeed more important than my life, because it is Alfonso's family business.
The cornerstone of the family, anyone who wants to take it away from the Alfonso family is going to war against the Alfonso family, which has been passed down for 300 years!"
"Start a war? I like this word, but if I kill the entire Alfonso family, will anyone still want to start a war with me?" Liu Dong suddenly laughed.
Looking at his smile, Lonrado Alfonso suddenly felt a chill in his heart. Thinking of the description of 'Munoz' in the intelligence investigation, he believed that what the other party just said was not lies, and he wanted to think clearly.
After all this, Lonrado Alfonso regretted for the first time why he had chosen to compete with the other party for that gold mine!
"It's all the damn economic crisis!" Ronrado thought to himself.
If the 9.11 terrorist attacks had not caused a global economic crisis and caused the price of gold to suddenly rise to more than 800 US dollars per ounce. If this gold mine with reserves of more than 300 tons of gold was worth more than 10 billion US dollars, he would not have been so insistent.
Muñoz fought for control of the gold mine.
Of course it's too late to say anything now!
What he needs to consider most now is how to overcome the difficulties at hand!
At this moment, he was completely awake. After calming down, Lonrado Alfonso gradually mobilized his wisdom as the head of the family. The number of ideas in his mind gradually increased.
"Muñoz, even if you kill all the members of our Alfonso family, you will not get the shares of Iquitos Oil and Gas Company, but you can benefit other families or forces in Peru! Because you are Colombian
People and not Peruvians!”
In this era, oil and natural gas, as the main fuels of human society, are related to the economic lifeline of any country in the world. No country is willing to hand over the dominance of this industry to a foreigner!
You can hold part of the equity, but you can never hold a controlling stake! This is basically the case in the United States and other Western countries.
And Liu Dong naturally understood the reason.
"It doesn't matter that I'm not a Peruvian. My subordinates can be Peruvians, as long as they diversify their shareholdings and give up the apparent major shareholders to others! And Peru is not the United States, let alone China. The judicial system and market rules are far apart.
It’s not that strict!” Liu Dong thought for a while and then said.
"Peru does not have as strict market supervision as the United States or China, and it is indeed able to achieve the secret control you just mentioned, but the time and energy spent in it are by no means as simple as it seems on the surface, especially when it comes to Iquitos.
Large companies with strong assets like oil and gas companies!”
After a pause, Lonrado Alfonso looked directly at Liu Dong and said: "Mr. Muñoz, we have given up on the gold mine. Why do you insist on using it for trading? Isn't it good to mine gold directly?
?And now the international gold price has been rising continuously, and the income from investing in gold is very good!"
After listening to Lonrado Alfonso's persuasion, Liu Dong smiled faintly. Naturally, he had his own plans for trading gold. No one else could tell except him.
"Although I am interested in gold, I am more interested in mining. I believe Mr. Alfonso should know this!"
Lonrado Alfonso certainly knows that Muñoz, Colombia’s largest mining tycoon, controls almost half of all the proven minerals in Colombia!
His greed is extremely famous throughout Colombia’s political and business circles!
If it weren't for the powerful light and dark armed force that everyone took in his hands, he would have swallowed these greedy fats into his mouth!
After Liu Dong finished speaking, Lonrado Alfonso was silent for a while, and then said with a serious look: "Iquitos Oil and Gas Company is absolutely not allowed! You can mention other conditions as you like!"
"That's what I've been waiting for!" Liu Dongxin said.
He has long known the importance of the Iquitos Oil and Gas Company to the Alfonso family. As long as he holds this company in his hands, the Alfonso family does not have to worry about the decline of the family.
The reason why he started to ask for the company's shares was because Liu Dong wanted to increase his bargaining chip. Only by asking for more at the beginning would he have room for counteroffers later.
"Well, since Mr. Alfonso said so, I don't want our relationship to get too tense. I can give up the shares of Iquitos Oil and Gas Company...!"
Hearing this, Lonrado Alfonso finally breathed a sigh of relief! But soon his brows furrowed tightly because of Liu Dong's next words.
"...However, I want the ownership of the Castile Copper Mine and the Porto Iron Mine, as well as the control of the Chimbote Steel Plant, and all the shares of the 'Indian Republic Bank' in your family's hands!"
"Don't you think you are too greedy, sir?" The veins on Lonrado Alfonso's forehead kept beating, and it was obvious that he was extremely angry.
Obviously he was angry with Liu Dong again.
The reserves of the Castilla copper mine are as high as 12 million tons. Although more than half of them have been mined, the value of the remaining 6 million tons of copper mine is no less than 3 billion US dollars, and the Porto iron mine has a grade of 62%.
The reserves of magnetite are nearly 500 million tons! And the development time is less than 10 years, and its value is no less than that of the Castilla copper mine. As for the Chimbote Steel Plant and the Indian Republic Bank, although it is not as good as the first two
The mineral deposits are so valuable, but the former belongs to a large steel plant with an annual output of 5 million tons of steel, while the latter is the fourth largest commercial bank in Peru, with more than 200 branches throughout Peru, almost all over the country!
Both the steel plant and the bank are worth close to $400 million!
The sum of these four items is a huge asset of more than 7 billion US dollars.
And the gold mine that Liu Dong offered in exchange was only 5 billion. The difference between the two sides was so big that it was not proportional at all!
How could Longrado Alfonso be willing to hand over 2 billion US dollars to the other party for nothing?
"Greedy? No, no, I don't feel greedy at all. A very large gold mine that produces 300 tons of gold, plus the life of you, the head of the family, is already very cheap to exchange for this little thing!"
The threat in Liu Dong's words was beyond words!
Looking at the smiling face of the other party, Lonrado Alfonso really wanted to go up and punch this hateful and greedy face!
But the reason in his mind made him take a deep breath and slowly calm down the impulse in his heart.
