For Dongsheng Group, the large-scale acquisition of plantations in Kanem ensures the supply of oil palm fruits and further improves the supply chain of the grain and oil industry.
After a group enterprise reaches a certain scale, like Dongsheng, which has a capital flow of 10 to 20 billion per year and has excellent and cheap financing channels, it will inevitably pursue investment projects that are more stable, reliable and large enough; the investment income of the project may be high or low.
is not the key.
After all, high returns bring high risks, and Dongsheng cannot put all its eggs on the precipice of high returns.
For Lu Yan, he may be the second generation, but it is not his turn to decide on the assets of the family business, and the funds he can personally use are relatively limited.
He may be able to mobilize hundreds of millions of yuan of funds in his own name. He uses this fund to participate in the acquisition of plantations. The income of four to five million yuan a year is enough for him to spend on picking up girls all over the world?
Cao Mo was also very sure that Lu Yan's statement that he wanted to participate in plantation investment might be true, but he would only participate in a meaningful way. He raised the topic because he wanted to see if there were any more exciting investment opportunities in Dracula Moor.
Wang Jianzhong was not familiar with Draculamore. Yang Deshan took over Lu Yan's question and said:
“Although Kanem’s economic development lags behind, ordinary people are living a miserable life, and the level of public construction is extremely poor, but it is actually not poor. Last year, Kanem exported crude oil, natural gas, gold and other minerals, and its foreign exchange income was
More than 80 billion US dollars, palm oil exports account for only a small part of it, less than 4 billion US dollars. We at Dongsheng started in the grain and oil industry, and we only saw the investment in Kanem’s palm oil project, but when it comes to other more important
There are many good investment opportunities in Draculamore and even Kanem, it all depends on what Mr. Lu is interested in..."
"Tell me everything." Lu Yan said without restraint.
Facing the condescending Lu Yan, Yang Deshan looked meek and introduced the current investment situation of Dracula Mo: "The development of Kanem industry is lagging behind, and most of its foreign exchange earnings can only be used to meet various domestic needs.
To import various industrial products. In the past, the import trade of Kanem was monopolized by European, American, Japanese, Korean and Indian companies. Now, hundreds of Chinese businessmen enter Kanem every year, and they are engaged in various trades - Thailand
The products of Hua Group should also be sold to Kanem. And Kanem’s foreign exchange income is mainly used to import various industrial products, which makes its crude oil, natural gas, gold and other mineral deposits want to expand the production scale. At present, 95% of them require
Relying on external investment - if you have large funds, you can participate in this type of investment. And the higher foreign exchange income also stimulates the municipal construction of several major cities in Kanem. The scale of infrastructure in Draculamo is not as large as that of the second and third tier domestic cities.
The city is low, which also promotes the dense concentration of its population in these cities. Basic supplies such as water supply, power supply, sewage and domestic waste treatment are particularly weak, and external investment is urgently needed. Kanem's strong oil trade has also cultivated domestic
A group of people with high spending power mainly gather in Dracula Mo, which has promoted the development of high-end catering, hotels, casinos and other industries here..."
Yang Deshan was able to preside over the work of the West African branch. Apart from his poor English proficiency, his economic vision was not bad. He introduced to Lu Yan the domestic economic shortcomings and investment opportunities of Kanem in an orderly manner, and talked about the cement crisis in Kanem.
The Chinese business district of Chengdu:
"There are many Chinese businessmen in Draculamore. If Mr. Lu can stay a few more days, we can sit down and have a chat..."
Seeing that Yang Deshan was interested in recommending Lu Yan to invest in Jinyuan Casino, Cao Mo just straightened his feet and gently shook the sandals on his feet.
Shen Ji obviously couldn't find fault with Yang Deshan's performance in running the branch. As long as the plantation acquisition can be promoted in an orderly manner, Yang Deshan's position will be stable.
As for Yang Deshan, he may have thought that it would be difficult to keep his personal involvement in gold mines and casino investments a secret all the time, so he might as well bring Lu Yan in. Even if the news leaks out, he can still call Shen Ji. Turn one eye and close one eye.
In fact, whether it is Dongsheng or other large domestic groups, it is normal for senior executives to have some private investments in addition to their own work, as long as there is no serious conflict of interest or transfer of interests with their own work.
Only the middle and lower levels have strict requirements, and they would like to sell their lives to the company.
Of course, Cao Mo also felt a little strange.
If you simply lease an area from Lana Del Rey to open a casino, the investment will be limited.
Yan Zhicheng has been working hard in Dracula for so many years. Even if it is difficult to earn money from Kanem, he should still have a net worth of 30 to 50 million yuan. He and Xie Sipeng can definitely eat up this piece of fat.
Will Yang Deshan win over Lu Yan, Yan Zhicheng, and Xie Sipeng at this time?
Looking at Yang Deshan's appearance, Cao Mo intuitively felt that he was not accompanying Yan Zhicheng. Xie Sipeng was trying to trick Lu Yan. He probably didn't have the guts.
Is there anything else he doesn't know?
"Okay, I'm on vacation anyway. As long as it's interesting, I can stay in Dracula for a few more days." Lu Yan shrugged and said indifferently.
Chen Rong was not in charge of the Overseas Investment Division. She happened to meet Shen Ji in London, so she took a detour to Draculamore. After lunch at the Tubman family's manor, she took her daughter Han Shuyun to take a flight. London returned to China - Cao Mo was avoiding her mother and daughter anyway.
Zhou Jun, who seemed to have failed to get back together with Song Yuqing, accompanied Chen Rong and his daughter to leave first with a somewhat sad expression, or even a mixture of anger and helplessness.
Under the hospitality of little Tubman, Shen Ji and the others had a meal, and in the afternoon they mainly visited the crushing plant and the Tubman family plantation.
Shen Ji has a fairly easy-going personality and is at the age where he likes to have fun. Chen Rong returned to China early and he is willing to relax more. In the evening, he returned to the Lana Del Rey Hotel for dinner and did not want to go to the Golden Dollar Casino, which has such a bad environment. Other nightclubs in Gullamore were not safe enough. After a few words, everyone decided to play Texas Hold'em poker at the Lana Del Rey Hotel.
Lu Yan also wanted to take the opportunity to make contact with Xie Sipeng, Yan Zhicheng and other Chinese businessmen in Dracula Mo mentioned by Yang Deshan.
Xie Sipeng, whom I haven't seen for a few days, has lost weight again. It seems that he has been staring at the cement unloading on the bulk ship these days, and he looks very haggard.
In addition to Zhang Min, Yan Zhicheng, and a tall mixed-race croupier brought over by Yan Zhicheng, Xie Sipeng also had a friend over, Ma Bin, who lost $20,000 at the Lana Del Rey Hotel last time and was still evil.
Texas Hold'em poker can be played by up to twenty-two people. The more people there are, the more exciting the game will be.
Wang Jianzhong and the two overseas department staff who accompanied him this time had never played Texas hold'em poker, so Yang Deshan pulled Cao Mo off, plus Shen Ji, Lu Yan, Xie Sipeng, Abacha, Tubman Jr., Ma Bin, Yan Zhicheng formed a nine-man game.
It's also a ten dollar a bet entertainment game.
It was unclear how many days Shen Ji and Lu Yan would stay at Draculamore. Xie Sipeng directly mentioned Yan Zhicheng's intention to move the casino into the Lana Del Rey Hotel at the poker table.
They have been communicating with Tubman Jr. about this for a while, but Tubman Jr. has not been able to convince all other investors.
Now Xie Sipeng thinks of two plans to raise funds. One is to acquire the shares of the Lana Del Rey Hotel held by investors who refuse to enter the casino. The other is to let Tubman Jr. convince other investors to buy Lana Del Rey Hotel. A banquet building attached to the hotel was sold separately and acquired by them for the operation of the casino.
After hearing this, Cao Mo understood why Yang Deshan wanted to drag Lu Yan into the game.
As one of the few high-end luxury hotels in the West Bank area, the Lana Del Rey Hotel has a very advantageous location and luxurious decoration. It was built and put into operation ten years ago, with an investment of more than 30 million US dollars.
Whether it is to acquire the shares of those who disagree or to invest alone to acquire the banquet building, the funds required are almost 10 million US dollars.
Neither Yan Zhicheng nor Xie Sipeng can raise so much cash now.
The banquet building that Yan Zhicheng, Xie Sipeng and the others are interested in has a main building area of 5,000 square meters. Currently, since there are not many high-end large-scale banquets in the West Bank District, it is considered to be a poorly managed part of the Lana Del Rey Hotel.
This matter had nothing to do with Cao Mo. He just sat at the card table and observed everyone's behavior.
Xie Sipeng and Yan Zhicheng were still eager to find someone to cooperate with, and had no intention of playing a game.
Tubman Jr. doesn't have much money, is not deeply involved, and has no intention of selling the Tubman family's stake in Lana Del Rey Hotels.
The main reason why he wanted to promote this matter was because he saw that renting out the under-performing banquet building at a high price could significantly improve the hotel's income. Some investors felt that it would be complicated to involve the casino and firmly opposed it.
It was the first time Ma Bin heard about this, and he was a little eager to try it. He knew that casinos were ruthless in making money everywhere, and the business license in Yan Zhicheng's hand was not something ordinary people could get, and he also knew that not everyone could do it in Draculamore. Whatever can cover the scene.
Shen Ji's lack of interest may be related to the fact that the Ding family has strict requirements on their nephews and nephews. It seems that they are prohibited from participating in side businesses such as investment, even though the gambling industry is legal in Kanem.
Lu Yan was very interested, but also very vigilant. It could be seen that he was domineering at heart, but he still had basic IQ, and he had realized that Yang Deshan was deliberately guiding him today.
This made him doubt Yang Deshan's role in it.
The strangest thing to say is the girl in jeans standing behind Lu Yan. Whether it is her subtle body movements or expression changes, or occasionally pretending to be naive and interjecting a question or two, she intentionally leads the topic to dig deeper, making Lu Yan Yan believes this is a very good investment.
However, Cao Mo was very sure that the jeans girl had nothing to do with Xie Sipeng and Yan Zhicheng. Maybe it was beneficial to her to facilitate this matter?
Under the deliberate guidance of the jeans girl, Lu Yan quickly figured out his thoughts and said to Xie Sipeng and Yan Zhicheng: "I personally am not very interested in running a casino, but if the La Nordele Hotel can cut off some of its assets and sell them, I will
I can acquire these assets and then rent them to you..."
From an investment perspective, Lu Yan's choice was very wise and he strictly divided the risks.
If you invest in acquiring part of the hotel's facilities and rent them out at a high price, you can earn higher profits, and there is no need to participate in the high-risk operation of the casino.
Although the income from operating a casino seems to be more considerable, let alone Dracula, even in Las Vegas, who is running a casino who does not take both black and white?
And the competitors we faced were not very good either.
Casino operations involve a large amount of cash flow in and out every day, and financial supervision is extremely difficult.
Even though Lu Yan was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, in a chaotic city like Draculamore that he was not familiar with, he would never get involved in the direct operation of a casino easily.
Lu Yan is also very clear that Yan Zhicheng cannot participate in the acquisition of this part of the facility if he operates the casino; and other investors who want to participate in the acquisition of this part of the facility with him can no longer participate in the operation of the casino.
Of course, it seemed that Lu Yan came up with all this on his own. The others were playing cards and talking, and they didn't realize anything was wrong. They just thought that Lu Yan, who looked like a playboy, had a lot of money in his stomach, but Cao Mo saw clearly.
It is clear that Lu Yan could have such an idea because the jeans girl seduced the opportunity several times to bring the topic to the point...
