Chapter 300 Self-casting
(PS.Thanks to professional blister mold and two book friends in Longxing 111 World for their monthly ticket support.)
"Little Doug?" Zhao Dongsheng frowned slightly, turned his head and looked at Angus, wanting to know the background of this person.
"Doug is the general manager of Doug Shipping Company. Doug Shipping Company was established in the 1930s and is an old shipping company. Doug is the grandson of Doug. He took over his father Daoug's class in the early 1980s." As a native of Sydney, Angus was naturally very familiar with the situation in Sydney, so he explained to Zhao Dongsheng in a low voice.
"Find this little Doug." Zhao Dongsheng gave an order in a deep voice, saying that he wanted to open a breakthrough from this little Doug.
"Little Doug has friends in both the black and white fields, so it's not easy to touch him." Angus hesitated for a moment and said to Zhao Dongsheng.
"Even if I have a dragon's pond, I will also make a breakthrough." Zhao Dongsheng sneered when he heard this. If he just let go of this matter, how can Tianyu Group gain a foothold in Australia in the future? How can he explain to Lu Liang and the two dead assistants?
"I know where his family is, so I'll send someone here." Angus whispered when he saw that Zhao Dongsheng had made up his mind.
"Little Doug is no longer in Sydney. He goes to Europe as soon as the bombing comes out." As soon as Angus finished his words, David interjected. He heard that Zhao Dongsheng was determined to cause trouble for Little Doug. He knew that he had encountered big trouble this time, so he took the initiative to provide important news. Anyway, Zhao Dongsheng would know about this matter sooner or later.
"Run!" Zhao Dongsheng frowned when he heard this. Doug's run further proved David's words. Otherwise, what would he run away? Then he asked David, "Do you know where he went to Europe?"
"It seems to be Paris." Angus said after thinking about it. At first he thought Doug was just trying to scare people with bombs, but he didn't expect that he would have killed two lives. So he paid attention to Doug's movements. His subordinates saw Doug boarded a flight to France the day after Lu Liang's accident.
"Paris?" Zhao Dongsheng was slightly stunned, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
If other European countries are concerned, Zhao Dongsheng really has no good way to find Doug, but France is half of his home court. Doug can be said to be a self-invested man this time. Don’t forget that Tianyu Group’s headquarters is in Paris, and Zhao Dongsheng has many friends in Paris, such as Tong Tian, who is now the executive director of the Hongyun Chamber of Commerce, and James, a former leader of the Eagle Gang who has become a member of the Paris City Council.
Under the leadership of Tong Tian, the Hongyun Chamber of Commerce has achieved rapid development in recent years. It is no longer limited to the basic service industry, but has penetrated into the industry and finance industry, and has made great achievements. The Hongyun Chamber of Commerce has become a rising emerging force in the Paris business community.
As for James, he had long disbanded the Eagle Gang and entered the business world. He is now a rising star in the French business world. His wealth ranks among the top 50 French rich people. He is preparing for the election of MPs and officially joining the political circle.
The success of Tong Tian and James is naturally inseparable from Zhao Dongsheng. When Zhao Dongsheng left Paris, he left them a development plan. The two of them got to where they are today step by step according to Zhao Dongsheng's development plan.
"I have told you everything I know, you will let me go." Zhao Dongsheng had already obtained the information he wanted, so he walked out the door. David heard his footsteps and asked in a hurry.
"We have been staying at home honestly these days. If we can 'inviting' you to come here once, we can 'invite' you for the second time." Zhao Dongsheng said without looking back when he heard this, "You'd better not tell anyone about this, otherwise it will not be good for you."
"I definitely won't say it, I definitely won't say it." David understood the accent of Zhao Dongsheng's word "please" and nodded quickly, and felt relieved. Although he was a gangster and usually looked fierce, this did not mean that he was not afraid of death.
"James, help me find an Australian, I arrived in Paris yesterday morning." After leaving the grocery store, Zhao Dongsheng returned to the office. After entering the bedroom, he took out his cell phone and called James. It was noon in Paris at this time.
"Zhao, since you have spoken, even if you turn Paris over, I will find that guy for you." James said with a smile when he heard the words, "Who is going to die or live?"
"Living." Zhao Dongsheng also laughed and told James about Lu Liang's attack, asking him to figure out why Doug did this.
"It turns out that he is related to Lu's affairs. Don't worry, I will definitely pry open this guy's mouth." James and Lu Liang are also friends. After learning the reason for the incident, they made a promise to Zhao Dongsheng with confidence.
After making the phone call, Zhao Dongsheng pressed the temples on both sides of his forehead tiredly. He now not only wants Chaluliang to explode, but also has to deal with the acquisition of Oster Mineral Company held in Melbourne the day after tomorrow and submit the acquisition price to Oster's board of directors.
Melbourne is Australia's second largest city. Since the discovery of gold mines in the mid-19th century triggered a gold rush, the population has increased sharply and the city has become prosperous immediately. Now the headquarters of Australian mining companies are basically located here.
Although Zhao Dongsheng remembers that Oster was acquired by Lodalo Group, the number one in the Australian mineral field, he does not know how much its acquisition amount is. Even if he knows the acquisition amount, it is useless. Since the historical trajectory has changed, he cannot guarantee that the acquisition amount will not change.
Although Oster is in a bad situation now, he can benefit a lot in the long run. There are rich iron ore and copper ore that have not been discovered in the mining area where he obtained mining license. Whoever can get it will affect Australia's mining landscape.
Therefore, the acquisition of Oster Mining attracted tycoons from the world's mining industry, including the Lodalo Group, Glege Group and Fermias Group, which were known as the three mining giants in the 21st century.
Of course, in the Warring States Period of mining in the 1990s, it was a period of separatist rule. No one could have thought that the Lodalo Group, the Glege Group and the Fermias Group would later stand out, occupying 70% of the world's mineral resources, and then monopolizing the global price of minerals.
Therefore, for Tianyu Group, it is crucial to win this battle well, and it will become an important battle for Tianyu Group to enter the world's mineral industry.
Before this, Tianyu Group was very low-key and focused on buying unexplored mines and oil fields around the world. Today, it finally showed its sharp teeth and joined the game of international minerals to show its existence to those international mineral companies.
After the board of directors of Oster Mining passed the decision to sell the company, the Lodalo Group and other mining groups asked the accounting firm to evaluate Oster's assets.
Of course, Tianyu Group did the same. Apart from foreign debt, Oster's assets are mainly the value of the mine, with about 500 million US dollars left. However, as of yesterday, its market value was only 400 million US dollars, and its stock price was still falling. Just two months ago, its market value was still 7 billion US dollars, shrinking by more than 90% of the year.
Zhao Dongsheng has read Lu Liang's acquisition report. In order to ensure the smooth acquisition of Oster, he is planning to spend US$1.5 billion to acquire it at a price twice that of Oster's assets.
Although the price seems a bit high, Zhao Dongsheng still approved Lu Liang's acquisition price. After all, this is the first big order led by Lu Liang. He wants to give Lu Liang confidence, and Oster is indeed worth the price.
As for the funds to acquire Oster, Zhao Dongsheng was ready. He had no extra money on hand, so he mortgaged Will Electric's stock to several investment banks at a low price to raise $1.5 billion.
After experiencing the turmoil a year ago, the stock price is now very good, so Zhao Dongsheng's mortgage is very smooth and he has encountered no trouble. Now the 1.5 billion US dollars is in the account of Warwick Group. As long as Lu Liang successfully acquires it, it will be transferred to the account of Tianyu Group to pay the acquisition fee.
However, since Zhao Dongsheng is here in Australia now, it means that he has taken over the acquisition and will naturally not use US$1.5 billion to acquire Oster, because his acquisition price exceeds his psychological bottom line.
Zhao Dongsheng knew that the biggest opponent of this acquisition was the Lodallo Group. After all, it successfully acquired Oster in another world, so Zhao Dongsheng specially studied Lodallo's financial situation and found that the acquisition funds that Lodallo can now be withdrawn are around 800 million US dollars, and if refinancing, it will not exceed 400 million US dollars at most.
In other words, the final bid of Lodallo Group must be around US$1.2 billion, otherwise it will drag down the Lodallo Group because the international market now has a certain demand for ores. After the Lodallo Group acquired Oster, it was unable to sell more ores, but it only increased its mineral holdings. Although the stock price has increased, it also means that a large amount of its funds have been occupied, which will have a serious impact on the development of Lodallo Group.
Moreover, once the competitors start a price war at this time, the Lodalo Group will face the trouble of breaking the capital chain, which will bring about a series of negative effects.
So, what Zhao Dongsheng has to do now is to judge how much the Lodalo Group can pay, and then quote a final price to defeat the Lodalo Group at the lowest price.
The next morning, Zhao Dongsheng and his group boarded a passenger plane from Sydney to Melbourne, where he would see other mining companies that came to acquire Oster this time.
