The successful listing of United West African Cement Group can be said to be a rare wealth feast for Kanem and even the entire West Africa region.
Before the listing of West African United Cement, Cao Mo's personal shareholdings were reduced to the minimum possible, and Shen Ji, Yang Deshan, Xie Sipeng and others directly withdrew so that more investors and investment institutions could participate in this. Come to this feast of wealth.
At the celebration banquet held at the Lana Del Rey International Resort Hotel, in addition to the management and employee representatives of the West African United Cement Group, the invited guests were either direct investors or senior managers of investment institutions. Most of them were in Germany. Gurama is a famous figure even in Kanem.
As sharers of this wealth feast, all of them were beaming with joy and talking and laughing loudly today.
Even though he knew that Yan Zhicheng had been Cao Mo's man for a long time, and even though there were thirty or forty casinos in Dracula Mo, Liang Yuan, who usually liked to play a hand when he had nothing to do, really didn't dare to go to those casinos that were purely controlled by local gangs. Go and play - Go there and play, it's a bit too hard.
The Lana Del Rey Beach Casino is currently the main event venue for Chinese businessmen in Dracula Moor.
If you want to know what's going on lately, there's no better place than to play a few games at Lana Del Rey Beach Casino.
Liang Yuan dragged Guo Jian to the Lana Del Rey Beach Casino today, wanting to see up close the Tianyue group who were so complacent - the Lana Del Rey Resort Hotel would be taken over by United West African Cement for the next three days. Since they are not accepting other guests, Liang Yuan and Guo Jian have no way to get closer to people like Cao Mo.
However, the hotel and the casino are right next to each other. After eating and drinking, it is only natural for Xie Sipeng and Yang Deshan to come to the casino to play a few games.
Xie Sipeng, Yang Deshan and the others were indeed too complacent.
Before the listing of West African United Cement, Xie Sipeng held 036% of the shares, which seemed very small, and was transferred to relevant investment institutions for only 60% of the listing price.
Even so, he still received more than 20 million US dollars in cash.
Of course, for Xie Sipeng, the 1.5% stake he currently holds in Yibogu Mining is the most valuable.
Even regardless of its absolute controlling stake in the Wusang River Copper and Gold Mine, with the increase in international gold prices this year, Yibogu Mining's profit this year will be US$1.5 billion if not US$2 billion.
Yibogu Mining has been expanding at a high speed in the early stage, and the price of gold has skyrocketed, leading to unprecedentedly fierce competition for gold exploration and mining rights in African countries. Yibogu Mining has taken advantage of the situation and suspended its pace of expansion. Most of the profits this year will be distributed. dividend.
Yibogu Mining is about to distribute a half-year dividend, and Xie Sipeng will have to get seven to eight million US dollars.
Of course, what is more valuable is the shares of Ibogu Mining.
The market value of Xinhai Gold has continued to surge and has exceeded RMB 150 billion. However, except for the copper smelting business of Yibogu Mining, which is not as good as Xinhai Gold, the scale of gold mining and refining business exceeds that of Xinhai Gold; the actual net profit obtained Thanks to the low tax rate, it is much higher than Xinhai Gold.
In addition to the Wusang River copper and gold mine, the gold reserves held by Yibogu Mining also exceed that of Xinhai Gold - and if Yibogu Mining's 65% shareholding in the Wusang River copper and gold mine is calculated (after West Africa United Cement's capital injection) On top of that, the value of Ibogu Mining is even more immeasurable.
Cao Mo is about to officially transfer part of the rights and interests of the Wusang River Copper and Gold Mine to closely related interest groups through the West African United Cement Capital Injection. However, the appetites of the Stanning family and other forces are still relatively large, and they hope to further increase their interest in the mine.
The shareholding ratio of the Wusang River copper-gold mine and even the Yibogu mining industry.
Of course, it is true that the Stanning family and other forces have a huge appetite, but everyone is on the same boat now and will not come naked to plunder.
On the one hand, Yibogu Mining, which had no shortage of funds, once again opened the window for capital injection. On the other hand, Cao Mo encouraged Xie Sipeng and others to sell part of their shares.
At present, whether Ibogu Mining is liberalizing small-scale capital injections or directly transferring equity, it is basically calculated based on a market value of US$8 billion.
In other words, if Xie Sipeng wants to cash out, he can cash out US$120 million by transferring his 1.5% stake in Yibogu Mining.
Of course, Xie Sipeng knew very well the long-term plans of Cao Mo, Qian Wenhan, and Zhou Shenhe for Yibogu Mining.
They want to wait until the crisis at the Wusang River copper and gold mine is resolved, and then try to merge Yibogu Mining into Jinhai Gold by issuing new shares.
Although this process will be complicated and difficult, if this idea can be realized, the reasonable valuation of Yibogu Mining will not be lower than that of Jinhai Gold at this time.
Speaking of this, Yang Deshan still envied Xie Sipeng.
He has not participated in the actual operation of Yibogu Mining, and previous rounds of capital injections have not provided much funds. Currently, his shareholding in Yibogu Mining is much lower than Xie Sipeng.
However, Yang Deshan's holdings in West African United Cement are relatively large. He withdrawn this time and received US$80 million in cash, which is even higher than Shen Ji.
No matter what was true or false in the past, since Cao Mo had already obtained control of Fulkov Petrochemical and Huang Hebin had not been driven out, more than two years later, he was naturally labeled as a Tianyue type.
.
At this time, he was hanging out with Yang Deshan, Xie Sipeng, and Zhang Chaoyang. They were all Chinese executives from the Tianyue Department in West Africa, so it was normal.
As a "defect", Huang Hebin cannot be compared with Yang Deshan and Xie Sipeng in terms of status in Tianyue Group. He does not hold shares in West African United Cement and Ibogu Mining, but in the latest round of Fulkov Petrochemical financing,
During the asset reorganization and equity adjustment, Cao Mo also fulfilled his promise to him.
As a core management member, Huang Hebin holds 1.56% of shares in Fulkov Petrochemical.
However, in any case, Huang Hebin did not enjoy direct benefits from this wealth feast. He and other guests who did not directly hold shares in West African United Cement walked into the casino gate and grabbed Xie Sipeng and Yang Deshan.
The chips require them to be responsible for treating guests.
"Now I know why Cao Mo is hiding in the hotel but can't come over to play. It turns out he has seen through your thoughts of trying to rip me off - Shen Ji also said that he wants to accompany his wife but can't come over to play, so he should have understood what you are thinking.
Why are Lao Yang and I so stupid?" Xie Sipeng yelled.
"Yes, you should call Cao Mo. He should treat you with the first round of chips!" Yang Deshan said, "He should be the one to get the red envelope today, and we can't usurp the host!"
"It's okay if you don't want to bleed. Then call Cao Mo." Huang Hebin, Xu Bin and others grabbed Yang Deshan and Xie Sipeng said.
"Let Xiao Jun make the call." Yang Deshan tried his best to push Xiao Jun out.
With so many people pushing him out, Xiao Jun had no choice but to take out his mobile phone and said: "I'm going to put the speaker phone on to make this call - if I don't get ripped off and get scolded instead, it will be you who will do it."
"If you can't rip me off, then you come and treat me." Huang Yijiang said with a smile.
"You have the nerve to trick me, a guy with thin arms and thin legs." Xiao Jun shouted.
"Don't bully my Xiao Jun!" Zhao Qianyun, who came to watch the fun, said while protecting Xiao Jun.
Xiao Jun had a small stake in West African United Cement, but he cashed out more than five million US dollars this time; and he had small stakes in Cornero Energy, Fulkov Petrochemical, and Ibogu Mining—
-The friendship between him and Cao Mo as classmates is obviously very enviable.
After the call was connected, Cao Mo heard on the other end of the phone that so many people were trying to rip him off, and he laughed and said: "I even avoided going to the casino, but you guys can't forget me - it seems I have to go there myself."
In the past, we had to win back all the bargaining chips for the treat."
Cao Mo asked Xiao Jun to give his mobile phone to Yan Zhicheng, and asked Yan Zhicheng to get $500,000 in chips first. In addition to Huang Hebin and Xu Bin, he also gave out $500 in chips to all the players in the casino today for profit.
Red envelope.
Liang Yuan and Guo Jian wanted to see Yang Deshan, Xie Sipeng and others up close, but they couldn't remember how they felt when they saw them looking so smug and holding the $500 chips from the market.
Already.
Of course, West Africa United Cement's plan to invest in the Usan River copper-gold mine was also officially announced to the public with the public listing of West Africa United Cement.
Compared with the complacency of Yang Deshan and others, which made them feel unhappy, the West African United Cement's investment in the Wusang River copper-gold mine made them even more worried.
Recently, the call for building a coastal railway in the Gulf of Guinea has become stronger and stronger in Kanem.
Driven by many political figures in Kanem, the Economic Community of West African Economic Community held a joint ministerial meeting last month and decided to restart a new round of survey and design work for the coastal railway.
Obviously, as long as West Africa United Cement's investment in the Usan River copper-gold mine is completed, the construction of the Mamba-Cotonou railway may be implemented at any time.
Although Cao Mo's fundamental purpose in promoting the construction of the Mamba-Cotonou railway is to ensure that their rights and interests in the Usan River copper and gold mine will not be plundered, no one can deny that the construction of the Mamba-Cotonou railway will
The impact on Xihai Steel was also direct and huge.
Tianyue's factory in Cotonou is being built too quickly.
The first steel plant in Cotonou has a designed annual production capacity of one million tons. In April, products were already put into markets along the Gulf of Guinea; and now it is only mid-June and the second steel plant is designed with an annual production capacity of three million tons.
The first foundation pile of the factory has also been laid; the announced construction period is also one year.
The Catero Steel Plant's second phase project with a designed production capacity of 3 million tons has been officially constructed for one year, but the construction period is three years. Now it seems that it will even be delayed a little longer.
In other words, Tianyue will achieve a steel production capacity of four million tons in Benin one year ahead of them.
Since the Cotonou Steel Plant currently purchases iron ore from Sega and other places mainly by sea, and the infrastructure construction in Sega and other places is even more backward than Akwa, it is difficult to transport iron ore to the Cotonou Steel Plant for smelting.
The cost is not low.
However, after the Mamba-Cotonou railway is built, no matter how opposed the Sevi family is, it will not be possible to prevent local forces from sending high-quality Mamba iron ore into the smelting furnaces of the Cotonou steel plant.
After that, the operating costs of all aspects of the Cotonou Steel Plant will be lower than those of the Catero Steel Plant.
More importantly, although there is a large population along the Gulf of Guinea, economic development lags far behind that of the country. The gap in steel demand may not be able to accommodate two very large steel companies - after all, countries such as Kanem still have some local steel companies.
Small and medium-sized steel plants.
Besides, Cao Mo is determined to suppress them. Who dares to say that Cao Mo, who has a huge amount of funds in his hands, will not continue to expand the scale of the Cotonou steel production base and monopolize the market of the Gulf of Guinea with one steel company?
There are few retail investors in the Hong Kong stock market, and more professional investment institutions are active in it. They have relatively professional research and analysis on the development prospects of Xihai Steel. At present, they are generally optimistic about the subsequent development prospects of Xihai Steel.
Two or three years ago, little was known about Tianyue in China, but this situation has changed in the past two years.
In the past two years, the Wusang River copper-gold mine has received increasing attention internationally.
Xinhai Gold also issued a portion of new shares to Sun Hung Investments at the beginning of the year, acquired Sun Hung Investments' shares in the Wusang River copper and gold mine, and also promoted it domestically. This is the same as the Lake Norquay Manor attack.
, jointly triggered domestic media’s interest in Tianyue reports.
Wealth stories are always the most exciting, but regular media reports on Tianyue's rapid development in the Gulf of Guinea will naturally not believe those rumors and dig deeper into Tianyue's development model in West Africa.
Tianyue's extremely successful localized management in Canem and Benin, as well as Cornero Engineering Construction Group's deep involvement in the construction of various projects, are advantages that most Chinese-funded enterprises cannot match.
Therefore, investment institutions can also see that after the Mamba-Cotonou railway is completed, the steel production base built by Tianyue in Cotonou will have higher production efficiency than the Bosso-Catro steel industrial complex of the same size.
Take a big piece out.
The quality of the iron ore produced by the Mangba Iron Mine is much higher than that of the Bosso Iron Mine, which means that the Catero Steel Plant of Xihai Steel cannot compete with the Cotonou Steel Plant in terms of overall cost.
Based on the analysis of these professional institutions, after the official launch of the construction of the Cotonou Second Steel Plant and the clamor for the construction of the Mamba-Cotonou Railway, the stock price of Xihai Steel has been falling for three consecutive months. Compared with the historical high, it has
Discounted by 60%.
This is definitely not good news for Liang Yuan, who has staked all his wealth on Xihai Steel.
He even wondered whether Han Shaorong had secretly reduced his holdings of Xihai Steel's shares.
Otherwise, Xihai Steel, which was secretly and highly controlled by Huamao, should not have fallen so badly.
Because Huamao's shareholding costs are very low, and the stock price of Xihai Steel has been driven up extremely high by Huamao's control, even if the stock price is discounted by 60% compared to the high point, Huamao ships little by little, in addition to being able to invest in Xihai Steel
In addition to recovering the investment in the Bosso-Catro Steel Industrial Complex, there are also quite good profits.
If Huamao reduces all the chips it secretly absorbed early on and no longer secretly controls the market, Xihai Steel's stock price may experience a more violent decline.
In the Hong Kong stock market, it is not uncommon for a stock to fall by 80 or 90 percent in one day.
Thinking of this, Liang Yuan felt more and more depressed. At this time, he didn't even hear what Guo Jian said to him...
