Chapter 556 Fat is not easy to grab

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

At that time, most of the people who asked Li Weidong to buy equipment were small bosses who had just bought some small and medium coal mines and hadn't made much money yet, so they wanted second-hand equipment to be cheap.

However, any large coal mine of some scale has relatively abundant funds in hand, and it is not worthwhile 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.

From the coal bosses, Li Weidong has heard of the names of Taifeng Mine and Taisheng Mine. According to the descriptions of the coal bosses, these two big mines are simply two cash cows. Hungry.

Coal bosses are a group of rich people who have no desires and desires, and what can make coal bosses greedy must be good things!

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

Now, Taifeng Mine and Taisheng Mine have appeared on the list of coal mines that can be sold, which surprised and delighted Li Weidong.

Li Weidong carefully compared the data of Taifeng Mine and Taisheng Mine. Although it is not the best among many large mines, it is still among the best.

And if all the data are combined, Taifeng Mine and Taisheng Mine are definitely the top players, and they are the two most worthy of winning.

Seeing that Li Weidong was in Taifeng Mine and Taisheng Mine, Zhao Jinshan who was next to him explained, Weidong, you are really astute. These two mines should be regarded as the two best 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 slightly taken aback. Given Zhao Jinshan's background, it should be an easy task to buy a few coal mines. If Zhao Jinshan can say it is difficult, it may be really difficult.

What's the problem? 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 to focus 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 mentioned mainly comes from two aspects. The first one is capital. These two mines are a seller, and they are packaged for sale. If you want to buy them, you have to buy them together.

I inquired from the side. If I want to bid for the two big mines Taifeng and Taisheng, I will have to pay 150 million yuan just for the bid bond.

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

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

180 to 200 million! Li Weidong frowned, he couldn't afford so much money now.

However, if the two big mines, Taifeng Mine and Taisheng Mine, are combined, they can really be worth two billion.

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

So spending two billion to buy these two mines is definitely a good deal.

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

And if you can spend two billion yuan, how can one be a small business? Most of them are powerful large enterprises and large groups in the coal industry, some of which 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,

Remove the word 'like'. Li Weidong said with a smile.

Remove the 'like', is it a leather bag company? Zhao Jinshan opened his mouth in embarrassment, wanting to refute, but 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 of which are big businesses and belong to local leading companies or even pillar companies.

Therefore, in addition to being able to provide large sums of money, those large coal enterprises can also mobilize a lot of resources. In matters such as bidding, there must be an advantage.

Li Weidong finally understood why the coal bosses could only envy 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, and it was almost impossible for them to spend two billion to buy such a large coal mine.

Even if a rich man can get the two billion, or a few coal bosses get together to make up the two billion, but in the face of strong 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? Even Zhao Jinshan felt unsure about dealing with the large coal companies interested in these two mines, 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 would not be eyeing these two mines, which makes me think that we You should eat these two mines!

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

Tigers eat meat, so what they snatch from the tiger's mouth must be a piece of meat! Those Taifeng mines and Taisheng mines, we also eat meat! Li Weidong said.

Then we have to solve the problem of funds first. Zhao Jinshan went on to say: Let me tell you the truth, even if I'm hollowed out now, at most 500 million can be collected. The remaining 150 million , you have to figure out a way.

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

Zhao Jinshan thought for a while, and then said: If Russia can pay me back part of the money, I can still have more funds. It is really impossible to repay the debt with things, and I can sell things for some money.

Okay, I see. 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 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 you can buy with money, you need connections and some operations. And this kind of large coal mine is even more so.

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

It is best to target what the seller likes and can provide what the seller needs. In that case, even if it is not the highest bid, it is the easiest to win the bid.

This is true of bidding for big businesses, and the attached conditions are part of the consideration for winning the bid, and even the key to deciding whether 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 that for many large-scale infrastructure projects, the availability of loans is an important consideration. A certain bidder may offer a higher price for the project, but if they can provide loans with low interest, the possibility of winning the bid will be even greater. Some.

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

However, those large coal enterprises were able to offer better prices in terms of the additional conditions of the 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, the role of Zhao Jinshan is reflected. With him, Dongshan Mining, a leather bag company, has the opportunity to compete for the two big mines of Taifeng and Taisheng, and to wrestle with those large coal companies.

However, Taifeng Mine and Taisheng Mine are big fat meat. There are not a few large enterprises and groups who are eyeing this. They can spend two billion at a time, and none of them are weak chickens. Zhao Jinshan's connections, 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 part of the opportunity. Li Weidong continued to ask: Which company do the two big mines Taifeng and Taisheng belong to now?

National Power Company. Zhao Jinshan replied.

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

Otherwise, who is qualified to own the two big mines Taifeng and Taisheng! Zhao Jinshan continued: But it is precisely because Taifeng and Taisheng mines are theirs that they will be put up for public sale.

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

But the National Electric Power Company is different. They are too big, and every action they make will attract the attention of many people. If they sell mines in private, they will definitely attract people's tongues and cause trouble instead.

Li Weidong smiled: I find it a little troublesome now. If it is a slightly smaller company, it will be fine. When bidding, you can choose what you like. Maybe the conditions meet their appetite, and these two mines will be won. .

At that time, it will not be easy for such a behemoth to do what it likes. The resources that people can mobilize in their hands are unimaginable to ordinary people. What we can provide may not be rare for others!

In this regard, we can only take one step at a time, and slowly figure out a way. Zhao Jinshan said with a frown.

In short, try your best to fight for it. It would be great if you can win the Taifeng and Taisheng mines. If you can't win it, you can make money by buying other mines. 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 Guodianli 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 overcame the troops and established the Ministry of Water Resources and Electric Power. The minister at that time was the well-known 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 country established the National Electric Power Company. All allocated to the national power company management.

During 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 enterprises, and realized the transformation 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.

The Electricity System Reform Plan approved by the state at that time started the electric power reform with the purpose of separating the factory from the grid, bidding for the grid, breaking monopoly, and attracting competition. The State Power Corporation was therefore split and reorganized into 11 companies.

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

The State Power Corporation was dismantled into 11 companies, and one of them was a top central enterprise, which shows how huge the State Power Corporation was back then!

For such a top behemoth, the resources in his hands are extremely terrifying. He almost needs everything. If he wants to do what he likes, it is indeed not easy to win the two mines of Taifeng and Taisheng.

After the debt crisis in 1998, Russia signed a butt of debt and directly announced the postponement of debt repayment, which caused the ruble and international hedge funds to lose out.

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, it's just that most creditors are unwilling to accept Russia's proposal.

If you want rubles, Russia is willing to pay at any time, and print as much as you want. However, after the ruble has depreciated sharply, 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. Russia's weapons are still very fragrant to the CIS countries.

However, Russia's largest creditor at that time was Germany. As a NATO country, how could Germany want Russian weapons? Even if it wants it, Russia can't give it.

As for Russia's heavy industry products, they cannot even enter the eyes of Germany. The level of heavy industry in Germany is higher than that of Russia, and the Germans don't look down on Russia's junk.

The Germans like Russian oil and natural gas very much, but the Germans have nothing to do, so it is impossible to hoard a large amount of oil and natural gas, right? Oil is easy to talk about, but natural gas is not easy to store, and there is no place to put it if you buy too much.

What's more, Russia will sell these energy sources regardless of whether they have debts or not. At that time, Russia relied on selling energy sources for food, and they wished they could sell more!

So these debts can only be dragged on. When the price of oil rises in a few years, the price difference will naturally smooth out Russia's debts.

Although the Germans look down on Russia's heavy industry products, the Chinese still do. Russia has a heavy industry foundation left over from the former Soviet Union. China has developed for decades, but it still has not caught up in many fields.

If some relatively advanced heavy industrial products can be obtained and shipped back to China, they will still be considered fragrant and should be sold, and Zhao Jinshan will be able to return part of the funds by then.

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