Five hundred and fiftieth chapters fat is not easy to grab

When Li Weidong was working on second-hand machinery in his previous life, he also worked on coal mining equipment.

At that time, most of the small bosses who asked Li Weidong to buy equipment had just bought some small and medium-sized coal mines and had not yet made much money, so they were greedy for cheap second-hand equipment.

However, in some large coal mines, the funds are relatively abundant, and there is no need to buy second-hand equipment.

In the process of interacting with these coal bosses, Li Weidong also gained a certain understanding of some large coal mines with good benefits.

In the mouths of coal bosses, Li Weidong has heard the names of Taifeng Mine and Taisheng Mine. According to the descriptions of coal bosses, these two large mines are simply two cash cows. All coal bosses are concerned about these two large mines. Hungry.

Coal bosses are a group of rich people who have no desires and no desires. What can make coal bosses covet must be a good thing!

It's just that the strength of the coal boss is not enough to win these two large mines, so these two mines can only be used for bragging coins.

Nowadays, Taifeng Mine and Taisheng Mine appear on the list of coal mines that can be sold, which makes Li Weidong both surprised and delighted.

Li Weidong carefully compared the data of Taifeng Mine and Taisheng Mine. Although they are not among the best among many large mines, they are also among the best.

If the data is comprehensive, Taifeng Mine and Taisheng Mine are definitely the top leaders, and they are the two most worthy of winning.

Zhao Jinshan, who was next to him, saw that Li Weidong was in Taifeng Mine and Taisheng Mine, so he explained: Weidong, you are really insightful, these two mines should be regarded as the best two mines on the list!

Then let's buy these two mines! Li Weidong said immediately.

Zhao Jinshan sighed lightly: Although it is a good mine, it is more difficult to buy it.

Li Weidong was stunned for a moment. With Zhao Jinshan's background, it should be easy to buy a few coal mines. If Zhao Jinshan can say it is difficult, it may be really difficult.

What's the difficulty? Is the seller not going to sell it? Li Weidong asked immediately.

That's not true. The main business of the owners of these two mines is not coal. Recently, they plan to carry out reform and reorganization and focus their business on the core business, so they plan to divest some other businesses, so they decided to sell these two mines. mine.

Zhao Jinshan went on to say: The difficulty I'm talking about is mainly in two aspects. The first is funding. These two mines are one seller, and they are sold in packages. If you want to buy them, you need to buy them together.

I inquired about it from the side. If I want to bid for the two big mines of Taifeng and Taisheng, I have to pay 150 million for the bid bond.

So I estimate that if I want to buy these two big mines, 1.5 billion is just a low price. It is considered as a bid from other competitors, and the final transaction price may reach 1.8 to 2 billion!

I am afraid that it is difficult for us to collect such a large amount of funds now. You know, a large amount of the money I have earned in the past two years has been tied up in Russia. It is really powerless to buy these two large mines.

Eighteen to twenty billion! Li Weidong frowned, he couldn't come up with so much money now.

However, if the two large mines, Taifeng Mine and Taisheng Mine, add up, they can really be worth 2 billion.

If coal prices start to rise after a few years, either of these two coal mines will make more than this amount in a year.

So spending 2 billion to buy these two mines is definitely cost-effective.

Zhao Jinshan went on to say; Besides funding, competitors are another difficulty, and not only we want to buy this kind of big mine, but other companies also want to buy it.

And if you can spend 2 billion, how can one be a small business? Basically, they are all powerful large enterprises and large groups in the coal industry, and some have local support and can mobilize more resources.

I learned from the side which companies are interested in Taifeng Mine and Taisheng Mine, and I was really shocked when I heard about those companies. Compared with them, our Dongshan Mining Company is like a leather bag company!

You can be confident and drop the word 'like'.

Li Weidong said with a smile.

If the 'image' is removed, it's a leather bag company? Zhao Jinshan opened his mouth awkwardly, wanting to refute it, but he felt that what Li Weidong said made sense.

Coal has always been the most important energy source in China, so there are quite a few domestic coal companies. Many coal companies are big and big, and they belong to local leading companies or even pillar companies.

Therefore, those large coal enterprises can mobilize a lot of resources in addition to the large amount of funds. When it comes to bidding, there is definitely an advantage.

Li Weidong finally understood why those coal bosses were only envious of the Taifeng and Taisheng mines, but couldn't get their hands on them.

The coal bosses in the late 1990s were not as rich as later generations, so it was almost impossible for them to spend 2 billion to buy such a large coal mine.

Even if there are rich people who can get the 2 billion, or a few coal bosses put together a pool of 2 billion, but in the face of powerful competitors, it is impossible to win these two big mines.

No matter how good the connections of the coal bosses are, can they surpass Zhao Jinshan? For those large coal companies that are interested in these two mines, even Zhao Jinshan feels unsure to deal with them, let alone those coal bosses!

Li Weidong took a deep breath and said, It seems that the two big mines, Taifeng and Taisheng, are really good things, otherwise those big coal companies wouldn't be eyeing these two mines, which makes me think, we More should eat these two mines!

You are taking food from a tiger's mouth! Zhao Jinshan said with a smile.

Tigers eat meat, so the things grabbed from the tiger's mouth must be pieces of meat! Those Taifeng Mine and Taisheng Mine, let's also eat meat! Li Weidong said.

Then we have to solve the problem of funds first. Zhao Jinshan continued: I'll give you a solid foundation. Even if you empty me now, you can make up to 500 million funds at most. The remaining 1.5 billion , you have to find a way.

I don't have so much cash, but I can mortgage my assets. I will take out part of the shares of Puppy Electric and mortgage it to the bank. It should be no problem to borrow 1.5 billion yuan. Li Weidong said.

Zhao Jinshan thought for a while, and then said, If Russia can pay me back some of the money, my funds will be more abundant. I really can't repay my debts with things. I can also exchange some money for selling things.

Okay, I understand. After the Spring Festival, I will accompany you to Russia to collect debts. Li Weidong said helplessly.

Zhao Jinshan chuckled: Then it's settled, I'll book a ticket to Moscow in advance!

Li Weidong continued: As for your competitors, it depends on your ability. They have network resources, and you have a lot of network resources, right?

I can only say, do your best. Zhao Jinshan nodded.

Coal mines are not something money can buy, they require connections and some operations. And this is even more so for a large coal mine.

Even if it is an open tender, the conditions of the tender are not only money, but also the exchange of some other interests.

It's better to do what the seller likes, to be able to provide what the seller wants, and if that's the case, it's the easiest bid to win, if not the highest bidder.

This is the case with big business bidding, and the conditions attached are part of the consideration of winning the bid, and even the key to determining whether or not to win the bid.

For example, in the bidding of weapons, if the seller is willing to transfer some production technology, even if the price is slightly higher and the buyer buys a little more, the buyer will be willing to accept it.

Another example is many large-scale infrastructure projects, whether or not to provide loans is an important consideration. A bidder's project quotation may be relatively high, but if it can provide low-interest loans, the possibility of winning the bid will be greater. Some.

This is also the reason why the coal bosses can't get the big mines like Taifeng and Taisheng. The coal bosses only have money, and they can't provide other resources other than money.

However, those large coal companies can give better prices on the additional conditions of bidding.

Like the leading enterprises in that kind of place, the resources they can mobilize are not comparable to the coal bosses.

At this time, Zhao Jinshan's role is reflected. If he is there, Dongshan Mining, a leather bag company, will have the opportunity to compete for the two big mines of Taifeng and Taisheng, and to fight with those large coal companies.

However, Taifeng Mine and Taisheng Mine are big fat meats. There are not a few large enterprises and large groups that are eyeing this. They can spend 2 billion at a time, and none of them are weak chickens. Those connections of Zhao Jinshan, It doesn't seem to have an advantage.

If we can understand the bottom line of the seller's transaction, then we can at least take advantage of it. Li Weidong then asked: Which company do Taifeng and Taisheng belong to now?

State Power Corporation. Zhao Jinshan replied.

It turned out to be such a behemoth! Li Weidong took a deep breath.

Otherwise, who would have the right to own the two large mines of Taifeng and Taisheng! Zhao Jinshan continued: But it is precisely because Taifeng and Taisheng mines are theirs that they will be sold to the public.

If it was a smaller company, or an inconspicuous company, it might have sold the mine in private and would not have appeared on this list at all, and we would not even have the opportunity to pay a bid bond.

However, the National Electric Power Company is different. They are too large. Every action they make will inevitably attract the attention of many people.

Li Weidong smiled: I feel a little troublesome now. If it is a slightly smaller company, it's fine. When bidding, you can do what you like. Maybe the conditions meet people's appetite, and these two mines will be taken down. .

At that time, it will not be easy for such a behemoth to do what he likes. The resources that can be mobilized in the hands of others are unimaginable by ordinary people, and the things we can provide may not be uncommon!

In this regard, we can only take a step by step, and slowly think of a way. Zhao Jinshan said with a frown.

In short, try to fight for it. If you can win the Taifeng and Taisheng mines, it is good. If you can't win, you can buy other mines to make money. Li Weidong pointed to the list on his hand.

...

At that time, the State Power Corporation was a well-deserved behemoth, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was the largest enterprise in the country.

The predecessor of the National Dianli Company can be traced back to the Ministry of Electric Power Industry. Later, the Ministry of Water Resources and the Ministry of Electric Power Industry conquered the army and established the Ministry of Water Conservancy and Electric Power. The minister at that time was the famous General Fu.

The Ministry of Water Resources and Electric Power has undergone splits and mergers, and the Ministry of Electric Power Industry has also been established many times. It was not until 1997 that the state established the National Electric Power Company. All are assigned to the management of the National Electric Power Company.

In the institutional reform of the State Council in 1998, the Ministry of Electric Power Industry was abolished, and the State Power Corporation began to operate independently. my country's electric power industry system finally realized the separation of government and enterprise, and realized the transition from a planned economy to a socialist market economy.

So how big is the national power company? Just look at the split and reorganization of the State Power Corporation in 2002.

At that time, the State-approved Electric Power System Reform Plan started the electric power reform with the purpose of separating the power grid from the power grid, bidding for the Internet access, breaking monopoly, and attracting competition.

The 11 companies are: State Grid, China Southern Power Grid, Huaneng Group, Datang Group, Huadian Group, Guodian Group, Power Investment Group, Power Engineering Group, Hydropower Engineering Group, Water Conservancy and Hydropower Construction Group, and Gezhouba Group.

The State Power Corporation was split into 11 enterprises, and any one that was pulled out was still a top state-owned enterprise, which shows how huge the State Power Corporation was back then!

For such a top-level behemoth, the resources in his hands are extremely terrifying, and there is almost no shortage of everything. If you want to do what you want, it is indeed not easy to win the two mines of Taifeng and Taisheng.

...

After the debt crisis in 1998, Russia signed a debt and directly announced a moratorium on debt repayment, resulting in the loss of both the ruble and the international hedge fund.

These debts have historically not been paid off until the next oil price hike.

It's not that Russia doesn't want to repay its debts, but most creditors refuse to accept the plan proposed by Russia.

If it wants rubles, Russia is willing to pay at any time, and print as much of that thing as it wants. But after the ruble has depreciated substantially, no creditor is willing to accept the ruble.

Repaying debts in kind is another plan proposed by Russia. This plan has been accepted by many CIS countries. Russian weapons are still very fragrant for CIS countries.

However, Russia's biggest creditor at that time was Germany. As a NATO country, how could Germany want Russian weapons? Even if it wanted, Russia would not be able to give it.

As for Russia's heavy industrial products, it is even less accessible to Germany. The level of heavy industry in Germany is higher than that of Russia, and the Germans can't look down on the junk in Russia.

Germans like Russian oil and natural gas very much, but Germans can't hoard a large amount of oil and natural gas when they are idle, right? Oil is easy to say, natural gas is not easy to store, and there is no place to store it if you buy too much.

What's more, these energy sources, whether they have debts or not, will be sold by Russia. At that time, Russia was counting on selling energy for food, and they were eager to sell more!

Therefore, these debts can only be dragged on. After a few years, the price of oil will rise, and the difference will naturally smooth out Russia's debts.

Although the Germans do not look down on Russian heavy industrial products, the Chinese can still look up to them. Russia has the heavy industrial foundation left over from the former Soviet Union. China has developed for decades, but still has not caught up in many fields.

If you can get some more advanced heavy industry products and ship them back to China, it's still a fragrant bun, and you should be able to sell it, and Zhao Jinshan will also be able to return some of the funds.

So after the Spring Festival, Li Weidong followed Zhao Jinshan to Russia to collect debts.
