Lam Fung secretly returned to Hong Kong. Although the international community was talking a lot about Lam Fung's establishment of the "Second Consortium", nothing major happened. It seemed that consortiums from all over the world expressed goodwill and tacit approval to Lam Fung's new consortium.

You know, when this kind of consortium is usually established, the companies it owns will be attacked by the other party and take the opportunity to make a profit. This is a common practice. After all, if this newly established consortium is attacked, it will try its best to stabilize the stock price and provide benefits to all investors.

A signal that the company is stable. Therefore, if you make a little money for the outside world, you can just swallow it.

But this time, the International Financial Street was calm. Nothing happened. It was as calm as the most boring day in the world.

"Boss, all resources have been integrated. Now it is time to confirm the office location of the 'Second Consortium' head office! Is it Shanghai or Beijing?" Lin Chiling helped Lin Feng organize all the company's resources in Shanghai.

Integrate and summarize it into a single rope. With the joint efforts of all employees under Lin Feng, this most tedious matter has been completed, but now we need a headquarters.

The headquarters of the "Second Consortium". Every day, information and materials from all the companies in the "Second Consortium" will be collected at the company headquarters, and then the headquarters will issue various orders based on the operations of each subsidiary. And this requires a headquarters

Of course, Shanghai is obviously possible. In particular, the "Light of the Century" building in the "Second World", as the tallest building in the world, is very suitable to be the headquarters of the "Second Consortium".

However, the 'Second Consortium' is the first formally established consortium in China, which has great symbolic and representative significance. If it still places its headquarters in Shanghai, will it cause the displeasure of the central government? This is a question

Questions that must be considered.

Lin Feng frowned. This is indeed an issue that must be carefully considered. Beijing is the capital, and Shanghai is the most prosperous city in China. In addition, there is a struggle between the Beijing faction and the Shanghai faction. The location of this headquarters must be carefully considered.

consider.

"Just put it in Beijing!" Lin Feng said after thinking for a moment.

Placing the headquarters of the 'Second Consortium' in Beijing can avoid a lot of suspicion and prevent some people from making baseless claims. Moreover, almost all of the headquarters of its companies are in Shanghai. If the headquarters is in Shanghai, this will

It is indeed a bit unjustifiable, at least it makes it difficult for Mr. Wen and Mr. Xi to step down. After all, this is the first officially established consortium in China.

"Pace Wu. Now go to Beijing and communicate with Ivanka to see if the company has land in Beijing. Since you want to build the headquarters, then build a landmark building. It will also save money on the building.

Don't worry." Lin Feng said quietly.

"Will the company also be moved there?" Wu Pace asked subconsciously.

"No, no one from the company will be moved. In Shanghai, I still have time to react. If something happens in Beijing, I won't have any time to react at all." Lin Feng shook his head. "Building a building has the ability to respond."

A representative building can represent the building of our 'Second Consortium'. As for the inside, there should be nothing but food, drink and fun. It's just an empty shell!"

Empty shell! Spending so much money to repair an empty shell? Wu Pace and others all broke out in cold sweats when they heard this. This is too wasteful! Land in Beijing is so expensive. You have to buy land, build a building, and become an empty shell.

That would cost at least several billion yuan, which is too wasteful.

Prodigal? Lin Feng doesn't think so. This is purely a face-saving project, and it must be acceptable to the higher authorities. What's more, Lin Feng will not really let it become a prodigal building. Lin Feng will make it a propaganda. Second

The consortium's showroom. At the same time, it is both educational and entertaining, making it the largest entertainment building in the world!

Wu Pace nodded, and then left Hong Kong and went to Beijing with an authorization document signed by Lin Feng.

After the completion of the "Second Consortium", Lam Feng officially started the annexation plan. First, it was to annex PCCW. Li Zekai directly invested 54% of PCCW shares, making PCCW a subsidiary of the "Second Consortium"

Afterwards, Lam Fung announced that the "Second Consortium" would spend HK$270 billion, or approximately US$33.8 billion, to completely repay its debts, and at the same time provide another US$10 billion to fund the development of PCCW.

Although this news is no longer news. Before Lam Feng established the "Second Consortium", he had already announced that he would acquire PCCW and help it pay off its debts. However, when Lam Feng spent so much money, it still shocked everyone.

The second consortium is rich, really rich.

This is only the first step after the establishment of the "Second Consortium". The second step is to announce the formal establishment of the 'South China Sea Petroleum Company', and at the same time submit an application and plan for the exploration of South China Sea oil to the Chinese government through formal documents.

This plan was recognized by the Chinese government in the shortest time, and a letter of authorization and a series of related documents were issued in the shortest time.

How short is this minimum time? It’s scary to say it. Generally speaking, the qualification certification for this kind of mining authorization can be as fast as three months, as slow as half a year, or even one year or two years. But this time, it only took 30 minutes.

.Yes, it was 30 minutes. All relevant procedures were completed without any flaws. This was faster than Li Zekai borrowed money from the Bank of China back then.

Back then, Li Zekai sought a loan of US$5 billion from the Bank of China in order to acquire Hong Kong Telecommunications. It only took 2 hours (usually such a huge loan would take at least 3 months). This time, Lin Feng dealt with a more troublesome oil exploration company, but only used

for 30 minutes, which is enough to prove the status of Lin Feng and Li Ka-shing in the hearts of the Chinese government, as well as the Chinese government's attitude towards South China Sea oil. Of course, all this was done in secret and was not made public.

Of course, to be able to obtain the mining rights so quickly, Lin Feng also paid a price that he had to pay - half the profits. The state did not provide any assistance or any funds, but he only shared half of the profits. This sounds very unreasonable. The state

You are taking a huge advantage, but you must know that without the authorization of the state, no private person is allowed to exploit the oil exploration rights. Otherwise, the state can directly arrest you and bring you to justice.

As for the mining in the Philippines and Vietnam, that is the behavior of two countries. China can tolerate the behavior between countries, but it is absolutely intolerable between private individuals and the state. Of course, the Chinese government will also use it behind the scenes.

The government has come to support Lin Feng and Li Ka-shing in their exploration of oil in the South China Sea, and has promised not to interfere with it domestically or engage in any private expropriation by local governments. As for external affairs, the government currently has nothing to do.

After all, authorizing Lin Feng and Li Ka-shing to exploit oil in the South China Sea would allow them to compete with the Philippine and Vietnamese governments for oil resources. If the country still intervenes, it would be better to directly exploit oil in the name of the country.

"Nephew Lin, what should we do now?" Li Ka-shing learned that the company had obtained the mining authorization, and went directly to Li Zekai's house to find Lin Feng with a happy face. Normally, Li Ka-shing would never come to Li Zekai's place. Why not?

Come? He has such a big villa and mansion in Taipingshan. Let alone Li Zekai, it is enough to accommodate 10 Li Zekai. As a result, Li Zekai decided to live out. Li Ka-shing was naturally displeased with such rebellious things.

I have never been here before. But this time I heard that I had obtained the oil exploration rights. I was so excited that I ignored these taboos and came directly.

"Mr. Li, what do you think? You are an expert in this area and I am an outsider, so I listen to you." Lin Feng said modestly.

Li Ka-shing owns Husky Petroleum. He is not an authority on oil exploration, but he definitely knows more than himself. Lin Feng never pretends to be an expert. If you don’t understand, you just don’t understand. Let those who understand handle it.

This is Lin Feng's philosophy.

Li Ka-shing thought for a moment.

"I have already prepared all the relevant technologies and employees for extracting oil from the South China Sea. The problem is the attitudes of the Philippines and Vietnam!" Li Ka-shing said hesitantly, "Of course, I don't care about the attitudes of these two countries. What matters is

American attitude.”

America! Without the support of the United States, would the Philippines and Vietnam dare to pull teeth from the tiger's mouth? If they go to the South China Sea to raise a flag for oil, will it affect the nerves of the U.S. government and cause trouble? Oil, this is black gold. There is no reason for the U.S. government to give up on this

A big piece of profit pie.

Lin Feng also looked tense. Although Lin Feng has never been afraid of trouble, this time it is obviously related to the most important resource of the planet. Lin Feng cannot help but be cautious. If he continues to act recklessly in this matter, it is very likely

It will really get you into trouble.

"Mr. Li, you said, everything is up to you." Lin Feng said.

Li Ka-shing was much more mature than himself in handling this kind of crisis, so Lin Feng asked Li Ka-shing to handle it. He could just help from the side.

"Nephew Lin, do you think this will work? Let's first send people to explore there, explore the oil wells, and test the outside world's reaction, and then decide whether to exploit it. If the outside world's reaction is too violent, we will give in a little bit.

Now, as long as they are close to China's inland sea, the Philippines and Vietnam will not dare to be too presumptuous." Li Ka-shing said in a consultative tone.

Although Lin Feng said that he had the final say in everything, with Li Ka-shing's cautious attitude, he would not really have the final say in everything and leave Lin Feng aside. That would cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore,

Even if you make your own decision, you should discuss it with Lin Feng first.

This is the work style and attitude of mature businessmen. Be careful and you will never make a big mistake!

"Well, well, you always have the final say on everything." Lin Feng didn't have any ideas, so he just listened to Li Ka-shing. If something really happened, he would just follow his own temper.

Immediately, Li Ka-shing sent out an exploration team! But no one expected that a big storm was coming.
