Everyone walked to the dressing room and prepared to change their clothes. However, before the dinner started, they sat down in the cigar room to enjoy themselves. Xie Sipeng couldn't help but ask Ding Zhaoqiang about Huamao's joining forces with the Evans Foundation to promote the construction of iron ore mines in Boca-Bocca Railway-
View of the industrial complex of Catero Steel Plant.
"My opinion?" Ding Zhaoqiang sat on the soft sofa, took the shoes from Dai Yingsheng's hand, and said thoughtfully, "My opinion is that this plan is a bit nonsense, but Dongsheng's shareholding in New Steel United
Too low, Han Shaorong is staring at Yu Jinjie now, and he must not care what I think at all."
In recent years, there have been many super-large industrial engineering projects launched in China. Even so, Ding Zhaoqiang, Qian Wenhan, Zhou Shenhe and others couldn't help but sigh when they heard about tens of billions of projects in China.
What's more, in the Gulf of Guinea region of Africa, where economic development, industrial supporting facilities are extremely backward, and the market is much narrower than at home?
The industrial complex of Bosso Iron Mine-Boka Railway-Katluo Iron and Steel Plant was planned in the early 1960s after Kanem overthrew colonial rule. Construction started in the early 1970s, but the first phase of the project was stumbling.
After its completion, subsequent construction on a larger scale was suspended for thirty years.
Cao Mo initially teamed up with the New Steel Federation to take over the Catero Steel Plant. He just wanted to purchase high-quality concentrated iron ore from Mangba in Akwa through the low-cost combined transportation of the Gulf of Guinea offshore and the Ogun River. It even cost a lot of money.
Only with the help of Blake and others in Oyo State, did they untie the Boso Iron Mine from the Catero Steel Plant.
Cao Mo's plan to take over Catero Steel Plant was blocked by Huamao, but New Steel Union was always the operator of this plan.
Dongsheng Holdings has always held a small amount of shares in New Steel Union. Even though it has not yet reached the qualifications to nominate directors to the board of directors, Ding Zhaoqiang is more or less concerned about the current situation of Catero Steel Plant.
"Of course, the entire plan is not completely impossible to implement, but it requires extremely high execution capabilities of the team, and it must also get full cooperation from the local government," Ding Zhaoqiang added, "Huamao teamed up with Xingang to connect Catero Steel
Han Shaorong is somewhat self-aware and can still insist on taking the leadership of the New Steel Alliance team, which can at least prevent the operation of the steel plant from causing any trouble. But now for some inexplicable reasons, he has joined forces with the Evans Foundation to do this
The industrial complex is a bit nonsense. I read the information that Cao Mo sent back. The Evans Foundation has such deep roots in the Gulf of Guinea and other parts of Africa. At the beginning of the cooperation, everyone could sit down and discuss things happily. If something happened
After some setbacks, will they still have the patience not to take over the initiative of the whole matter? Of course, as I said just now, Dongsheng has very little say in this matter. Everything depends on what Yu Jinjie thinks. Dongsheng
These shares will be unblocked in half a year. If it doesn't work, we can just withdraw them when the time comes..."
Ding Zhaoqiang is in the industry, and of course he understands the importance of teamwork.
And he is also a relatively strong character, and a strong character has an uncontrollable desire to control. His many conflicts with Cao Mo and Tianyue in the early days, as well as Dongsheng's debt crisis, are more or less related to his character.
.
Although he was forced to reconcile with Cao Mo later due to the situation, Ding Zhaoqiang himself also reflected a lot, and he knew very well that the Evans Foundation was so deeply rooted in the Gulf of Guinea that it would be difficult to restrain himself from fighting for the dominance of this industrial complex.
How difficult it is.
This will inevitably lead to chaos and loss of control in the operations team.
In many large-scale joint industries, engineering projects eventually failed, which had little to do with the market environment. Instead, it was mostly due to this factor.
"Yu Jinjie also
He's a veteran, he can't even understand such a simple truth." Qian Wenhan said.
"I saw that Yu Jinjie was quite affectionate with Han Shaorong just now. Maybe Han Shaorong thought of some way to isolate the risk and persuade Yu Jinjie..." Cao Mo said.
"Oh?" Ding Zhaoqiang and Qian Wenhan were a little hesitant. They had not seen Yu Jinjie and Han Shaorong with their own eyes just now, but they would never underestimate Cao Mo's observation ability at this time and asked, "What do they have?"
How to isolate the risk?”
"If Yu Jinjie is really tempted by Han Shaorong, there are still ways to isolate risks," Ge Jun said thoughtfully, "Han Shaorong currently has Huamao Investment as the core and has registered a number of companies on the periphery. The legal representatives and investment shareholders of these companies,
They are no longer Han Shaorong or the senior managers currently working at Huamao, but are held by several senior managers who have resigned from Huamao. But anyone with a discerning eye knows that these are companies controlled by Han Shaorong. Han Shaorong is currently involved in the capital operation of the securities market through these companies.
, on the one hand, it can bypass supervision, and on the other hand, if there is a problem in a certain link, Han Shaorong can cut it in time to avoid the risk debt chain from being transmitted to Huamao Investment. If Han Shaorong and Yu Jinjie want to join forces with the Evans Foundation to promote the Bosso Iron Mine
-The construction of the Catero Steel Plant, an industrial complex, does not want Huamao and New Steel to bear the risks involved in this huge investment. It is relatively easy to implement, and in Han Shaorong's style, it is relatively low cost.
Hong Kong took over a shell company, and the two companies put the assets of Xihai Steel into the shell company, and then used the shell company to raise debt to complete the capital increase for the entire project..."
Ge Jun studied Han Shaorong the most and was also familiar with various capital operation routines.
After he said this, everyone felt that Han Shaorong and Yu Jinjie would do this in nine out of ten cases. This was so in line with Han Shaorong's style.
Regardless of whether the Bosso-Catro steel industry complex can be built, Han Shaorong can make some money first through the capital operation of the shell company, and any risks will ultimately be borne by the shell company.
It’s not surprising that Han Shaorong was able to convince Yu Jinjie in this way.
They had previously predicted that Yu Jinjie would refuse, mainly because if unexpected risks occurred in the Bosso-Katluo Steel Industrial Complex, it would affect the main business of New Steel Union.
If Han Shaorong used this method to isolate risks from New Steel Union, and even asked Yu Jinjie to make a profit together in the capital operation of the shell company, why would Yu Jinjie refuse?
Huamao is still the second largest shareholder in New Steel Union and has never interfered with Yu Jinjie’s control of New Steel Union. Yu Jinjie more or less wanted to betray Han Shaorong to save face.
Although the other shareholders of New Steel Union cannot get a share of the pie, as long as there are no big risks, how many people will stand up resolutely as Yu Jinjie and Han Shaorong, the first and second shareholders of New Steel Union?
Dongsheng's opposition at this time became even more insignificant.
"How about I ask Zhang Chaoyang to find out if this is what happened?" Shen Ji asked.
Zhang Chaoyang is the vice president of New Steel United, and the operations team of Catero Steel Plant is currently under his charge. If Yu Jinjie reaches an agreement with Han Shaorong, he must know in advance that Zhang Chaoyang is a key figure that they cannot avoid.
Shen Ji and Zhang Chaoyang have always had a good personal relationship. It was Shen Ji who initially recommended Cao Mo to talk to Zhang Chaoyang about the Catero Steel Plant project, but in the end he was intercepted by Huamao, which was not something Zhang Chaoyang could control.
"Okay, let's find out more about it!" Cao Mo said.
Shen Ji took out his Bluetooth headset and put it on, and while walking to the cigar room with everyone, he dialed Zhang Chaoyang's number.
Everyone sat down in the cigar room and could hear what Shen Ji was talking to Zhang Chaoyang on the other end of the phone. It was obvious that Zhang Chaoyang didn't want to tell everything to Shen Ji at first, but Shen Ji directly pointed out that Han Shaorong might Some plans only made Zhang Chaoyang vomit his bitterness on the other end of the phone.
"Mr. Ge is really amazing. He is really a roundworm in Han Shaorong's belly," Shen Ji pulled on his earphones and said with a smile, "Their current plan is to acquire a shell company in Hong Kong. There are countless penny stocks in Hong Kong stocks. The cost of the next shell company is very limited. I even suspect that Han Shaorong already has several shell resources in Hong Kong. Han Shaorong has obviously convinced Yu Jinjie. Last night, Yu Jinjie brought several senior executives of New Steel Alliance to discuss this matter. It happened, so Zhang Chaoyang already knows about it. However, Zhang Chaoyang and several other senior executives have more or less opinions..."
Zhang Chaoyang and several other senior executives had opinions, and it was not difficult for Cao Mo, Ding Zhaoqiang, and Qian Wenhan to understand.
After the steel plant run by Yu Jinjie was merged by the New Steel Group, Yu Jinjie's shareholding ratio in the New Steel Group was very low. The top management of the New Steel Group mainly came from the previous Xingang Group and were not direct descendants of Yu Jinjie.
In the subsequent series of restructuring processes, the city gradually gave up its control of New Steel Union, and Yu Jinjie's shareholding in New Steel Union gradually increased. However, it was not until New Steel Union completed the share-trading reform in early 2007 that Yu Jinjie's shareholding in New Steel Union New Steel United's shareholding only exceeded 30%, making it the actual controller.
Therefore, Yu Jinjie is more or less incompatible with the existing management of New Steel Union.
The whole thing seems to be of great benefit to Han Shaorong and Yu Jinjie, but the management of New Steel United is not that stupid.
Even if the risk can be isolated with a shell company, Han Shaorong and Yu Jinjie want to control the Bosso-Catro Steel Industrial Complex from beginning to end and operate it well. Not only can they not withdraw the existing team, they also To deploy management and technical forces on a larger scale, it may even require higher-level personnel to take charge.
This will not only distract the existing management and technical strength of New Steel Union, but more importantly, who is willing to go there?
Not to mention that no one is willing to go there, the teams that went there before will definitely strongly demand to return home.
Yu Jinjie, Han Shaorong and the others have isolated their investment risks and can even make a profit first, but what about the middle and low-level managers and technical staff?
By the way, the book-chasing app I’m using recently, [Mimi Reading App] caches books for reading and reads aloud offline!
They are not qualified to take a share of the capital operation.
They have stable positions and incomes in the New Steel Union. They are not rich and powerful, but they still live a good life and have stable families. They are sent to Draculamore and obey the unified arrangements of the group. They fully expect to be rotated back after three or four years. domestic.
If a new plan is implemented for risk isolation, Xihai Steel will be cut off from New Steel Union, and these dispatched employees will actually be cut off from New Steel Union.
The Bosso-Catro Steel Industrial Complex is completed, and they can still earn a moderately high salary by continuing to work overseas, which is justifiable, but if it fails, the personal risks they bear will be great.
Of course, if Yu Jinjie and Han Shaorong really want to push forward relevant plans, the middle and lower management and technical staff will have limited room to resist other than resigning and leaving. Most people will eventually choose to compromise, right?
"I can hear that Zhang Chaoyang is very angry. The team currently responsible for the operation of Catero Steel Plant are all people brought out by Zhang Chaoyang. Yu Jinjie and Han Shaorong really want to implement this plan. It will be difficult for Zhang Chaoyang to explain to these people. He said yesterday He had a big quarrel with Yu Jinjie, but he was unable to resist Yu Jinjie and Han Shaorong's decision." Shen Ji looked at Cao Mo and asked, "Do you want to find a chance to meet Zhang Chaoyang?"
