Chapter 290 United Front(1/2)
Is fighting crime and exposing evil deeds worthy of a special mention?
Some people support this, while others are non-committal. For example, Nick and Liz, the prospective couple, have different opinions.
Liz felt that the trick she played with her boss was beautiful, she could relieve her hatred and bury the heartless people, making opponents like Clive, Jenna, and Daman like rats crossing the street, and everyone wanted to beat them up. Reiner got through this.
After the disaster, the strength will be stronger, the internal unity will be more unified, and the future prospects will be more promising.
But Nick was filled with sadness.
After several key subordinates of Chen Lidong gathered in Dongzhu, Nick said melancholy: "Alas... our opponent is too powerful."
Liz asked in confusion: "Clive, Daman has been captured, and Jenna is also under residential surveillance. How can they escape from such a shocking case?"
Nick said: "Daman should be held criminally responsible, but Clive may not be. Jenna is more likely to escape this incident."
Liz said in surprise: "No way? How could this be possible? The phone recordings and videos have conclusive evidence."
Nick said: "People will say that the recording and video are fake, but Kipling is not a law enforcement officer, and he has a history of financial fraud.
I guess they will just push Daman out as a scapegoat to give the two governments an explanation, and the others will probably fine them."
Liz was not a child either, so she thought for a while and asked: "That won't have any impact on us, right?"
Nick said: "There must be. We not only have to guard against Clive and Jenna's power, but also care about that fund.
Did you know? Almost all the mining giants in Australia have joined PE Fund. The exposure of this incident has caused this fund to be disbanded, and it is not only the interests of Clive and a few others that have been lost."
Chen Lidong laughed: "Okay Nick, stop scaring Liz.
Everyone needs to be clear that they are the ones who take the initiative to cause trouble for us, and we are forced to fight back.
Our development in the East Pilbara has not affected their interests, but we are still squeezed out by them.
These opponents, or enemies, are not chosen by us, but come against Reiner.
So there is no point in being afraid, and hiding is not an option. All we can do is rise up and attack.
We in China have a saying, "I will not offend others unless they offend me; if they offend me, I will offend them."
When the enemy comes to attack us, we cannot hide and hide.
To deal with powerful opponents, our ancestors have long studied countermeasures, and the method is a 'united front'.
The explanation of these four words is: people from different groups can form a common camp for the same purpose.
These Australian mining companies and mining tycoons are not monolithic. They also have various conflicts and disputes within them. For example, Jenna, when I first arrived in Pease, I heard that she was involved in lawsuits.
For example, Choate, the former boss of Juyan Mining, almost lost his entire fortune due to the squeeze from those giants.
People like Clive must have done more things to suppress their peers, and these people are the ones we unite with.
We need to unite the majority of people, isolate our opponents, and let more people understand that they can make more money by following us, but by joining in with Clive, they will suffer losses and blows. Over time, more
People naturally become our partners.
Lennar's capital increase and share expansion this time is a favorable opportunity.
It is recommended that you find a reliable appraisal company and take stock of the company's asset size and profitability.
The 5% of Kipling's shares will be sold, and I will compensate him from other sources.
The shares belonging to Donghua Metal were reduced to 30%, and 7% of the shares were sold to external parties.
Oh, by the way, there should be a batch of leased machinery and equipment at Juyan Mining that has not been recorded in the accounts, and they must be registered during the evaluation."
Nick wrote them down one by one.
In the midst of a turmoil, it is right to be worried, and there is no need to be cowardly. The rebirth system is close to him, giving Chen Lidong an inexplicable confidence. What makes him even more confident is that this time the gold price fluctuated, he made a large sum of money.
With the profits from futures plus the 80 tons of gold sold, the funds at his disposal have reached 2.4 billion U.S. dollars, and there are still more than 100 million U.S. dollars in the Dongzhu gold futures market.
With 2.4 billion U.S. dollars, the purchasing power in 2000 was still very high.
The world's richest man at this time was Billy Gates, with a net worth of $5 billion.
Can Billy Gate come up with $2.4 billion in cash? The answer is no.
His assets, stocks, etc. may add up to more than 5 billion U.S. dollars, but if he were to come up with even 500 million U.S. dollars in cash, he would probably have to go to a bank to borrow money.
But Chen Lidong was able to control this $2 billion in cash.
In December last year, Lena acted as a broker to make profits on the Wudu Gold Exchange on behalf of more than a dozen clients.
These companies are trading companies registered by Virgil and others in recent years. They are mainly responsible for selling steel products from Far East Steel, recycled parts from Far East car scrapping plants, and electronic products resold through Amerson.
Therefore, some cash was already stranded in the accounts of these overseas companies, and Andre and Sun Xuesong each transferred a sum of funds, giving Reiner more bullets.
This money was placed in the gold futures market, and when it was rolled out, it became 1.5 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of more than three times.
There was also 80 tons of gold sold through the futures market, bringing in a gain of 950 million U.S. dollars.
On the books, this gold comes from mining companies that cooperate with Lennar, but the real source is from recycling electronic waste, and the manufacturer is System Furnace.
After the final settlement, Chen Lidong can completely control the above 2.4 billion U.S. dollars.
Of course, dividing the spoils is still necessary.
Nick and Liz received a red envelope from their boss: 2 million dollars.
Other staff members also receive different portions of red envelopes.
The biggest gift package was given to Chen Jianing.
Chen Jianing did not attend the spoils-sharing meeting, but chatted with her mother at home. After receiving a call from her cheaper brother, Chen Jianing was a little confused: "175 million knives? Why is it so much?"
Chen Lidong smiled and said: "I actually transferred your 50 million U.S. dollars to the Wudu Gold Futures Exchange for a long position. The profit was 2.8 times. After settlement, you can get back 175 million U.S. dollars."
Chen Jianing said oh and hung up the phone.
Chen Lidong looked at the phone in his hand in a daze. Why did he hang up before he finished speaking? How could he get the money?
At this time, Chen Jianing was with her mother, Lu Suqing, and her mother was also listening to the content of Chen Lidong's call.
Chen Jianing said: "You heard it, I am only with him to make money. It's 175 million U.S. dollars, 50 million U.S. dollars has increased 2.5 times. It's only been more than a month. You don't object to this kind of cooperation."
Lu Suqing sighed: "Ning Ning, I came from your age, so don't hide it from me.
I know that he is very good and has extraordinary ability to make money.
But you are a step too late. If he was single, I would encourage you to pursue him, but he is married."
Chen Jianing pouted and said: "Mom... I understand these. Don't worry, I will take care of myself."
Lu Suqing said: "None of the men are good. They are all like your father. It is their nature to like the new and dislike the old. If you want to be emotional, you will be fooled."
Chen Jianing hugged her mother's thin shoulders and said coquettishly: "Mom... don't mention that father of mine. Chen Lidong and I are just business partners. Besides, Sun Jie is my best friend. I have phone calls every day. What's the point of poaching my best friend?
.
Don't worry, I'm still young and I can definitely find a handsome guy to come back and call you mother-in-law.
I’m leaving first, $175 million is a lot of money, I have to figure out how to spend it.”
Sitting on the sofa, Lu Suqing watched her daughter jump up and change her clothes, then put on light makeup and walk out of the house. She felt even more anxious: A woman should look good to please herself.
That guy is ugly, yes, but he is definitely a diamond-level king, and he is even considered the richest man in the country.
If this guy doesn't have a partner, he will have to help his daughter find a son-in-law.
But I already have a family. With my status, can I allow my daughter to be a mistress?
Humph! Damn mistress.
...
Lu Suqing was also a cadre of the Chinese ministries and commissions. In the mid-1980s, he was sent overseas and worked for Sinosteel Import and Export Company, first as a translator, and then engaged in mineral trade.
In November 1987, Lu Suqing's company reached an agreement with Hamelis Mining Company to jointly operate the Channar Iron Mine.
According to the agreement between the two parties, the total investment in the Channar Iron Ore Project is 200 million U.S. dollars, of which Hamelis Mining contributes 60% and Sinosteel contributes 40%. Sinosteel is responsible for underwriting 10 million tons of iron ore every year. These 10 million tons of iron ore
This was the entire output of the Hamelis Iron Mine at that time.
From the mid-1980s to the early 1990s, the world's mining industry was in recession, and it was not easy to sell 10 million tons of iron ore.
At that time, there was no good solution. The metallurgical department could only hold a meeting, allocate task targets, and pressure state-owned enterprises to buy.
Those state-owned steel companies have taken credit on credit from the beginning, and at the end of the year, Sinosteel Import and Export Company will send people to collect the accounts.
This situation has caused the Sinosteel-invested Hamelis Iron Ore Project to be questioned by domestic senior officials. Some people believe that it is foolish to spend money and effort to build mines abroad, and it is inappropriate to use the money to develop mines domestically.
Does it smell good?
Taking this as a guide, throughout the 1990s, Chinese state-owned enterprises invested in only a handful of overseas projects.
Lu Suqing was also affected by this project. Ministry leaders believed that she had not done enough research and was even suspected of betraying national interests.
I hold 40% of the shares, but I was asked to reimburse all the ores. I always feel that I have been cheated.
Lv Suqing resigned in anger and registered a company in Dongzhu, specializing in the business of importing iron ore from Australia to China.
She no longer relied on state-owned enterprises, but regarded township and village enterprises and private enterprises as key customers. Through the development of township and village enterprises, she quickly opened up sales and quickly accumulated her own wealth.
Unfortunately, during this period, Lu Suqing's lover, Chen Jianing's father, had an affair.
