Chapter 982 Tianshan Snow Lotus
…
Although Liu Dong made his fortune less than two years ago, the industries he has spanned have developed from the jewelry industry at the beginning to hotels, tourism, real estate, the Internet, finance, media, retail, and even more if you include the South American business group.
In addition to steel, mining, transportation, and petrochemical industries, if we annex Hong Kong Swire now, we will also include the aviation industry, shipping industry, and trade! There is also the gambling industry that has just entered!
With more than a dozen major industries and dozens of branches, Liu Dong has been involved in enough industries. Except for a few limited industries, most of them have just started. Therefore, it is far more important to invest more energy in these industries.
Blind horizontal expansion is more beneficial!
Moreover, the beverage department of Hong Kong Swire Beverages is more of a lower-level distributor of Coca-Cola. Without the brand support of Coca-Cola, Swire Beverages' performance will decline like an avalanche at any time. This kind of enterprise cannot control its own destiny. Although it is very profitable, Liu
Dong’s interest is really not that great!
Even for Swire Sugar and Swire Beer, which are not too big under Swire Hong Kong, Liu Dong is more interested than Swire Beverages!
Feng Jianhui didn't quite understand Liu Dong's inner thoughts. After listening to what Liu Dong said just now, he thought that his little boss had finally begun to give in, but he soon realized that he had made the wrong idea!
"Isn't Wu Zhe back yet?"
"The auction won't end until four in the afternoon, it should be soon!" Feng Jianhui looked at his watch and said.
"Tell him not to forget about the acquisition of Shangyuan Group and Yangming Group. The contract will be signed soon. Don't let others pick the peach at the last moment!"
"I understand!" Feng Jianhui said slightly helplessly.
It seems that this young boss is still as ambitious as before. He has never thought of stopping his expansion!
After explaining to Feng Jianhui, Liu Dong walked out of the company. Unexpectedly, just as he got into the car, his cell phone rang.
Looking at the unfamiliar number on the phone, Liu Dong hesitated for a while and then picked it up.
"Hello?"
"You brat, where are you now?"
The old-fashioned words made Liu Dong instantly surprised and said: "Master? Do you still know how to use the phone?"
In his impression, there was nothing related to electricity in Master Xianyuan's Wuxin Zen Temple, although it could not be called a dilapidated temple.
"What a joke, what can't I do?" Monk Wu Xin said with disdain.
"Okay. No matter where you are now, go do something for me!"
"Okay, Master, you said, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it for you!" Liu Dong said immediately.
"Don't worry, this matter won't be difficult for you! ... I need a Tianshan Snow Lotus that is over a hundred years old, go and pick it up for me!"
"Centennial Tianshan Snow Lotus? Master, what do you want it for? It's not easy to find!" Liu Dong said in surprise.
It might not have been too difficult to find such precious medicinal materials hundreds of years ago, but now, with the profit-seeking medicinal collectors collecting and digging indiscriminately, the wild Tianshan snow lotus, like the Changbai Mountain ginseng, is almost extinct!
It is difficult to find wild snow lotus that is twenty or thirty years old. Let alone one that is one hundred years old?
"It's hard to find someone, but you have to look for it. Who lets you show off your talent? If you have to bring the person back, the old man can help you, but you have to wipe your own butt!" Monk Wu Xin said unceremoniously.
From the words of the cheap master, Liu Dong quickly understood what the other party was talking about!
"Master? Can you heal that old man's injury?" Liu Dong said with surprise and joy.
"Of course it can be cured, but if you can't find snow lotus that is more than a hundred years old and use it as medicine, that kid won't live for five years! Don't even think about it if you have a lot of kung fu!"
"That boy?" Liu Dong smiled bitterly.
But according to the age of his master, the other party can indeed be regarded as a junior!
"I understand, master, leave it to me to find Xuelian, but I need time!" Liu Dong said.
"There is enough time, just find it within three months!"
After finishing speaking, Monk Wu Xin hung up the phone irresponsibly.
Listening to the blind tone on the phone, Liu Dong couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Three months! To put it lightly, the Tianshan Mountains are one of the seven major mountain systems in the world. Located in the hinterland of the Eurasian continent, the largest landmass on earth, the Tianshan Mountains span China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan from east to west, with a total length of 2,500
kilometers, with an average width of 250,350 kilometers from north to south, and a maximum width of more than 800 kilometers.
The Tianshan Mountains are the largest independent latitudinal mountain system in the world; they are also the mountain system farthest from the ocean and the largest mountain system in arid areas of the world.
The length of the part located in China alone exceeds 1,700 kilometers and covers an area of more than 570,000 square kilometers, accounting for about 1/3 of the entire Xinjiang region.
Faced with such a huge mountain range that spans most of China, even if Liu Dong had the relic Yuanguang to rely on, he had no confidence that he could find a snow lotus that was over a hundred years old within three months!
"Looks like we have to leave quickly!" Liu Dongxin said.
Originally, he was thinking of returning to Quancheng to supervise the reconstruction and expansion of the steel plant when the negotiations with the Swire Group were settled. Now it seems that not only is he unable to return to Quancheng, he also has no chance to participate in the negotiations with the Swire Group!
But before leaving, there were still some things that needed to be explained clearly, so Liu Dong quickly got out of the car and walked back to the company!
"Director Liu?"
Looking at Liu Dong who had left and returned, Feng Jianhui was a little confused!
After walking to the sofa next to him and waving for Feng Jianhui to sit down, Liu Dong said: "I am leaving Hong Kong tomorrow, so I will leave the negotiation with the Swire Group to you!"
"I see!"
Feng Jianhui did not ask Liu Dong why he left, he always remembered that he was just an executor!
It is precisely because of Feng Jianhui's duty that Liu Dong values him more and more.
"Regarding the three major divisions of the Hong Kong Swire Group, as well as many other subsidiaries, we can return the shares of the beverage department, Swire Sugar and Swire Beer to them, but they must be exchanged for shares of other industries under Swire Hong Kong. As for
You can negotiate with them about compensation, but it must not be less than US$2 billion!"
"I understand, but after the industrial division is completed, how should we manage the company?"
"It will definitely not work to call us Swire Hong Kong anymore!" After finishing speaking, Liu Dong was silent for a moment and said randomly, "In this way, after the industry division is completed, Swire Hong Kong's real estate department includes Swire Centre, Pacific Place and Festival Walk, as well as its
All properties were handed over to Huayang Group, and 15 hotels in Hong Kong and the UK were handed over to K. Wah Hotels Group."
"...Cathay Pacific Airways Limited, together with Dragonair, Huamin Airlines, and 17 Swire subsidiaries located in Hong Kong, Mainland China, Taiwan, Canada and Vietnam, are engaged in ground handling services, cargo handling, engineering maintenance, and aviation catering.
Cathay Pacific Group!”
"...the trading department under Hong Kong Swire has also become independent and established a separate global trading group!"
Originally, Liu Dong did not want to occupy the trading department of Swire Hong Kong, but he owned the Dalun Group, which was engaged in the shipping industry. Trade was obviously inseparable from ships. Due to interdependence, Liu Dong retained this department.
Moreover, the automobile sales system created by Swire Hong Kong covering the entire Greater China region is exactly what Liu Dong needs in the future!
As for the more than 200 stores owned by Swire Resources in Greater China, including the three major retail chain stores of Marathon, gigasports and catalog, they are more like incidental! They may simply give them away one day in the future, because Liu Dong is not interested in the retail industry.
Not too big.
Compared with the trading department of Swire Hong Kong, the ocean department is what makes Liu Dong hesitate the most!
Swire Marine, which has been engaged in the marine service industry for nearly two centuries, has still become a large-scale maritime group with Hong Kong as the center and radiating around the world.
Just like Swire Offshore, a subsidiary of Swire Pacific, it has one of the largest and most modern offshore energy support fleets in the world, providing support for all exploration and production activities. The company's fleet has more than 70 ships, including anchorage
Supply tugs, platform supply vessels, hydrographic and seismic research vessels, and vessels for maintenance, diving and remote control support.
This is a low-profile company, but the company has branches all over Australia, Azerbaijan, Brunei, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, India, Malaysia, New Zealand, Nigeria, Qatar, Scotland and the United Arab Emirates. In addition to North America,
The company's ships are operating in all major oil exploration areas.
This is a large maritime group with total assets of over one billion pounds!
However, under Swire Hong Kong, in addition to Swire Offshore Development Company, there is also United Shipping Group, which is mainly based in Hong Kong. Although Hong Kong United Shipping Group also has shares in Hutchison Whampoa, Swire holds a controlling stake in it.
The business of Hong Kong United Shipping Group includes the most modern ship repair facilities in Asia, as well as the largest and most modern tug fleet. The subsidiary Hong Kong United Shipyards Marine Department is also the only member of the International Salvage Association in Hong Kong!
One of the most important reasons for leaving Swire Hong Kong's marine department is this salvage business. With it, Liu Dong will have the most convenient means to salvage sunken ships on the seabed and at the same time cover up the many sunken ships in his mustard space!
Moreover, Hong Kong United Dockyard also has a shipbuilding capacity of 100,000 tons of cargo ships. For Liu Dong, who is planning to vigorously enter the ocean transportation industry, the rich water will naturally not flow into the field of outsiders!
The remaining engineering department of Hong Kong United Shipping Company was most troubled by Liu Dong because it was a company that was not closely related to shipping.
This department provides comprehensive ground electromechanical engineering services and steel works, with a wide range of work ranging from the assembly and erection of steel structures and heavy industrial equipment to the installation and certification of high-voltage and low-voltage electrical systems.
The most suitable place for it is not Hong Kong, because there is almost no heavy industry here, but there is more business in the mainland, especially the Quancheng No. 2 Steel Plant, which Liu Dong is preparing to vigorously renovate in the mainland, which completely corresponds to the engineering department of United Shipping!
