Chapter 853: Journey to Hong Kong
…
To open a mine, you must open roads and protect the livelihood of the indigenous people, which requires very high costs. Therefore, Liu Dong would rather invest in large mines, which will have higher returns, but small mines do not have such conditions!
Although he has mustard space and can mine at zero cost, after the last experience, Liu Dong really doesn't want to be a miner, and he doesn't want to abuse his ability. Once or twice is okay, but if it happens too often,
The risk of exposure is also greater. After all, mineral deposits are not like antiques. They are too large in quantity and too eye-catching.
Watching Jose Aguilar record carefully, Liu Dong nodded with satisfaction and continued: "As for the Dalun Group, the roads and railways will be developed according to your plan. For shipping, we will add 2 ships 12.5
10,000 cubic meters of LNG (liquefied natural gas carriers), two 300,000-ton double-hull oil tankers, two 150,000-ton ore ships, two 150,000-ton coal ships, and five 50,000-ton bulk carriers!”
"Master, is it a bit... to purchase so many ships at once?"
Although he did not want to question Liu Dong's decision, the sudden increase in shipping volume by 1.4 million tons almost increased the shipping tonnage of Dalun Group by one-third. This result made Jose Aguilar a little helpless.
accept!
Let’s not talk about how much it will cost to increase the transportation tonnage of 1.4 million tons. The key is how to digest it. If there is no business, these ships will lose money even if they are handed over!
Noticing the expression on Jose Aguilar's face, Liu Dong naturally understood what he was thinking. After smiling, he comforted: "I understand your concerns, but although Colombia is rich in resources, the market is limited.
, so in the future our resource sales market will still be overseas. If we want to sell our resources, large-tonnage ships are a must!"
From now on, Liu Dong is ready to sell his resources, especially oil, coal, steel, platinum, copper and even Colombia's abundant timber, flowers, cocoa and other agricultural products to China. Only he, a Chinese, knows the economy best.
The rapidly developing motherland is so hungry for various resources!
"In this way, we not only support national construction, but also make money for ourselves, so why not do it!" Thinking of this, Liu Dong's thoughts became more determined!
If it weren't for the fact that the expansion was too fast, there were not enough skilled crew members, and it might not be beneficial to the company's development, Liu Dong would have doubled the number of ocean-going ships he purchased.
"One more thing, Jose! Our subsidiary Avianca immediately purchased four large Boeing aircraft and launched flights to Beijing and Shanghai in China!" Liu Dong said immediately.
After getting to know his company, Liu Dong discovered that there are no flights from Colombia to China. This is really fucked!
"I understand, Master!"
Although Jose Aguilar's tone was calm, he felt helpless in his heart. He knew that he could not change the decision of the young master in front of him, so he could only do it!
"Fortunately, both ship ordering and aircraft manufacturing take more than half a year. This time should be enough to prepare!"
Thinking of this, Jose Aguilar was relieved. He had decided to immediately order the major groups to expand the production capacity of their respective companies in the next time after returning!
"...As for the expansion of the American Commercial Bank?" After pondering for a while, Liu Dong shook his head, "...Don't be anxious for the time being. Wait until the finances and personnel of the Bank of Panama and the Indian Democratic Bank are sorted out and stabilized for a period of time.
Go for Ecuador’s banking industry!”
The financial industry involves too many aspects. It even involves the political, economic and military aspects of the host country. No amount of caution is too much!
"Yes!" Jose nodded seriously.
He knew how much Liu Dong valued Bank of America, and in the future the bank would gradually become the centerpiece of major groups, so the stability and development of the bank would become even more important!
"Just do what I told you about the rest of the Chimbote Steel Plant!"
"clear!"
"Um!"
After nodding, Liu Dong continued, "I will be away for a while, and you will be in charge here in Colombia. If anything happens, remember to call me in time!"
After giving instructions to Jose Aguilar, Liu Dong stayed in the castle for another two days, then transferred more than 1,000 tons of gold ore in the Mustard Seed Space to the warehouse in Laya Valley, and ordered the returning Guards Special Forces to closely guard the situation.
, just left Colombia by plane!
However, there are no direct flights from Colombia to Los Angeles, so Liu Dong had to fly from Bogota to Houston, and then transfer from Houston to Los Angeles!
Walking out of this airport that he had been to once again, Liu Dong couldn't help but think of his private jet that he still had no news about. If it had been there, he wouldn't have wasted time flying back and forth.
"I don't know what's going on now!"
Liu Dong shook his head, put down the phone to inquire about the manufacturing status of his private jet, and came to the ticket window of the airport.
Returning to Los Angeles again, Liu Dong originally wanted to visit the New Line Film Company he bought, but Zhang Fan's acquisition of Chong Hing Bank was temporarily unexpected, so Liu Dong had to temporarily modify his itinerary.
He simply arranged the yacht "Gonggong" and entrusted it to a yacht management company, then flew directly from Los Angeles to Hong Kong!
After flying for more than ten hours, Liu Dong, who had just walked out of the Hong Kong International Airport, soon met Zhang Fan who came to pick him up in person. When he drove to the branch of Qingyang Venture Capital in the center of Hong Kong,
Liu Dong also learned from Zhang Fan about the difficulties encountered in acquiring Chong Hing Bank!
"In other words, it is mainly because the Liao brothers and sisters did not agree to sell their shares to us?" Liu Dong frowned.
"Yes, Director Liu! Now 51% of the shares of Chong Hing Bank circulating in the market have been acquired by us. Only about 43.3% of the shares in the hands of brothers and sisters Liao Tiecheng, Liao Tiezhi and Liao Bining are still in their hands. The remaining
There are still 5.7% of odd stocks scattered in the market!"
After watching Liu Dong nod, Zhang Fan hesitated and said: "Dr. Liu, in fact, we now hold more than half of the shares and have absolute control of Chong Hing Bank. Even if the Liao brothers and sisters do not sell their shares, we will completely
They can use capital injection to dilute their equity, so as to completely control Chong Hing Bank. It does not necessarily have to be a full controlling interest. After all, for the bank, a transparent financial situation is easier for people to believe!"
"You are right, but there is a reason why I plan to acquire it wholly!"
After a pause, Liu Dong continued, "Show me the information on Chong Hing Bank and all family members including the Liao family!"
"Okay, Director Liu!"
When investing in acquisitions, you must first understand the object you are acquiring, so whether it is Chong Hing Bank or the Liao family, after receiving the acquisition task assigned by Liu Dong, Zhang Fan made great efforts to understand it.
So the information I have prepared now is very comprehensive. It can be said that in addition to the secrets that are not known to the outside world, most of the relevant information about Chong Hing Bank and the Liu family, including their marriage and children, and even who they are friends with and who they are.
That person has had conflicts, and there are clear records on them.
After getting the information, Liu Dong immediately read it seriously.
Soon the atmosphere in the car became quiet, and no one spoke except for the occasional sound of turning pages.
Seeing that Liu Dong was engrossed in reading the information, Zhang Fan, who had originally planned to take him around the company, immediately asked the driver to change the route and went to the suite that Liu Dong had booked at the Peninsula Hotel.
It took about 100 pages of A4 paper to record a large amount of relevant information about Chong Hing Bank and the Lia family. Liu Dong read it in less than half an hour after checking into the hotel!
Through this information, I have a deeper understanding of Liu Dong, my future acquisition target.
"Who is this Yang Min?" Liu Dong said after putting down the information.
"She is the ex-wife of Pan Dickson, the boss of Hong Kong Dickson Group, and the eldest daughter of Yang Yuanlong of the Yang family in Hong Kong. She is now the chairman and president of Esquel Group in Hong Kong. She graduated from the Department of Mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States and is also a graduate of Harvard University.
She has a master's degree in business administration from a university and is a very capable woman!" Zhang Fan, who was standing next to her, said immediately.
"So powerful, no wonder he was able to snatch Pan Dickson from Liao Bining's hands!"
"Haha, this incident was rumored in Hong Kong at that time. Dickson Pan was about to get married to Liao Bining, but on the wedding day, there was no trace of the groom at the wedding. What is even more unbelievable is that a week later,
Pan Dickson and Yang Minde registered their marriage in Malaysia, giving the Liao family a big mouth in front of all the families in Hong Kong and embarrassing them! And because of this incident, Liao Bining also
Love breeds hatred and Pan Disheng hates Pan Disheng to the core! Even the entire Liao family is at odds with Pan Disheng!"
"It's good to be in conflict with each other. Only when there is conflict in power will we have the opportunity to intervene!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
"Dr. Liu, do you want to...?" Zhang Fan said in surprise.
Liu Dong touched his chin with his right hand. After thinking for a while, he immediately said: "In this way, you immediately ask the company to acquire the shares of Dickson Group from now on, and then exchange the shares of Dickson of equal value for Chong Hing Bank in the hands of the Liao family.
shares, and you tell the Liao family that if they agree, we can also loan them US$500 million to acquire the Dickson Group!"
"Director Liu, is this appropriate? Pan Disheng is not an ordinary person. Not only does he have deep connections in the business community in Hong Kong, but he also has excellent business skills and vision. If we rashly intervene in the feud between the two families, I'm afraid
It will arouse the hatred of the Pan family!"
