Volume 20: Looking at the World with Cold Eyes, Chapter 74, Here Comes
When the situation happened, Lu Weimin was having a big talk with Radar and He Keng in a resort in the suburbs of Beijing.
He Keng has been in Russia and Ukraine in recent years. Although he has invested a lot in Huada Steel, he has basically not participated in Huada Steel's operation, but has generously handed over the full right to radar. The operating conditions of Huada Steel in recent years have also brought He Keng a generous return.
On the issue of selling Huada Steel, He Keng gave the most firm support to Lu Weimin's attitude, which is also an important reason that prompted radar to finally agree to sell Huada Steel with good operating efficiency.
"The transfer agreement was signed in April, and the handover was completed in three months. It was completely handed over and cleared before July 31. The funds of Fuxing Group have been divided into three phases and transferred to Tuoda's account. The last transaction was received yesterday. The transaction was completely cut off." Radar sighed without hesitation, "I feel a little uncomfortable when I watch a hen laying a golden egg turn into someone else's house."
The negotiations on the sale of Huada Steel to Fuxing Group lasted for nearly two months. With both parties' intentions, the two months were considered very fast. Fuxing Group also showed enough sincerity and proposed three options: one is to acquire cash, the other is to carry out part of cash and part of the stock exchange, and the third is to exchange part of the funds plus two newly launched real estate projects.
Cash transactions are of course the most popular, but there are some differences in the amount. Part of the cash and share exchanges are not considered by radar. Since it is to be sold, radar does not intend to have any relationship with Fuxing Group, but the third method is somewhat interested. After several rounds of negotiations, Tuoda Group chose the third method and accepted part of the cash and two real estate projects. Both real estate projects are in Shanghai and were acquired by Century Fenghua Real Estate, a subsidiary of Huamin Group. Radar made a profit.
"There are too many hens laying golden eggs. Maybe they lay golden eggs now. The next time they will be diarrhea." He Keng glared at Radar angrily, "I can trust the judgment of serving the people. Over the years, I have seen countless talents and heroes, but I have not met any of them. The domestic economy has been maintaining such super-high development for so many years. Theoretically, it seems a bit unscientific to maintain such a high level of economic growth. Even if the country's national conditions are special, it should conform to economic laws. I think the view of serving the people is more reliable, and the high development of the country's economy may have really reached its peak. The heavy chemical industry that supports the high development of the country's economy is still a heavy chemical industry that focuses on the urbanization process. Once the progress of urbanization slows down, it will inevitably suppress the heavy chemical industry, and the steel industry is the first to be affected. Therefore, taking action now may not be a loss. Sometimes it seems to be a loss, but in fact it is a big advantage."
Radar doesn't care about the old friend's ridicule, and the business has been finalized. The past has passed, and he will not regret it. Moreover, He Keng's words are not unreasonable. Although there seems to be no economic uncertainty now, although the economy has fluctuated due to the financial crisis last year, after the introduction of the country's trillion-dollar policies, the country's economy seems to have stabilized and rebounded, and there is still a rising scene everywhere. However, some of its fragility is still revealed. How sustainable is this effect achieved by relying on government fiscal funds to stimulate the achievement, it has to be questioned.
"Forget it, this factory has been sold. Now Tuoda's investment in Djibouti is progressing in an orderly manner. The domestic economic situation is a bit difficult to see through, so I still think it can be collected. Let's take a look for it for a while, and after the project in Djibouti is completed and put into production, of course, I am also investigating recently. It is a pity to put such a large amount of funds in the bank." Radar seemed very calm, "We suggest that I consider the logistics industry. I am still investigating. The current e-commerce seems to have great development prospects, and the combination of e-commerce and logistics industry is expected to produce an effect of 1+1 or more than 2. I think if I can, I can make a chapter on it."
Lu Weimin still admires radar's keen sense of smell in this regard. He only raised the issue of logistics industry with radar, and also talked about the current development trend of e-commerce. Radar can combine the development of the two and observe the huge commercial value that the combination of these two may burst out. It is impossible to say that radar can succeed.
"Brother Da, it's not bad to observe more. I agree with your point of view. Time is too late. With the current development trend, perhaps countless companies have been established during the period when you are observing. The market is so big. Entering the day earlier, maybe your market share will be greater, and the chances of survival will be greater. You should consider it yourself." Lu Weimin didn't say nonsense, "Business model can be innovative, but the time must be chosen well, don't look back and forth."
Before Radar could answer, He Keng took over the conversation: "For the people, Radar knows it. You don't have to worry about him. I'm very worried about our projects in Africa. When will the railway project from Addis Ababa to Djibouti be launched? The investment amount of our two major projects in Djibouti is quite large, but if there are not enough projects to support it, our two major projects will really starve to death."
The two major projects of Tuoda Group in Djibouti Port, thermal power unit with an annual output of 800,000 tons of cement, both of which require sufficient industry and service industries to support. Now, both projects of Tuoda in Djibouti have started construction, but although Djibouti frequently visits with the country, the real large-scale project has not yet been moved.
"Don't worry, Brother Keng, the country can get land and docks from Djibouti so quickly to build a naval and air military base. If it weren't for this railway project, would you think it would be so refreshing?" Lu Weimin smiled and said, "The Addis Ababa to Djibouti railway project is too important for both countries, especially Djibouti. Once this railway is completed, most of Ethiopia's export goods will follow this line. This is indescribable for enhancing the strategic position and commercial influence of Djibouti Port in the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea coast. Ethiopia can also obtain a smooth export channel, so the country will support the construction of this railway no matter what. If it is soon, I guess there will be a result soon."
"I hope so, we are moving very quickly in Djibouti, and I have also seen that the infrastructure construction in Djibouti is very backward, especially roads/streets/public buildings. I think if Djibouti Port is connected to Addis Ababa, then Djibouti's urban construction may usher in a wave of construction. Domestic construction and railway construction are all grinding their hands. Djibouti may become a very good bridgehead for our country's enterprises to enter the African continent." He Keng was still unsatisfied, "Africa is like a piece of white paper, which can be written by people. Unlike other places, there are too many factors involved."
The phone rang, Lu Weimin looked at the number, it was Dou Qing. Lu Weimin was a little surprised. Today is the weekend, why is this guy so active?
When he answered the phone, Dou Qing seemed to feel a little panting on the phone, "Lu Bu, something happened."
Lu Weimin, who rushed back to the ministry, couldn't help but suppress his excitement. Seeing Dou Qing's face flushed, Lu Weimin guessed that things would not be small.
But it's only October, and the turbulence in Lu Weimin's impression should be at the end of the year. I can't remember the specific incident clearly. I only remember that it broke out from Tunisia at the end of the year. Could it be that because of his little butterfly, he really incited two months in advance?
“What’s the situation?”
"The situation is not very accurate yet, and it is a bit confusing. The embassy on our side is still collecting the situation. Due to the jet lag problem, and there are not many people in our embassy over there, the capacity for collecting situations may be limited. Probably, a college student could not find a job and went to the street to set up stalls and was confiscated by the city police. As a result, he was burned to death before and caused riots in citizens. Now the riots have triggered suppression by the military and police. As a result, the riots have become increasingly large, and the riots have expanded to the entire country of Nice for three consecutive days...."
It's here, finally here. Although time has changed, the reasons are almost the same. Lu Weimin finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know whether he was looking forward to the arrival of this moment or because a stone finally landed on the ground, afraid that the power of his butterfly wings would be too great, and he would fan away some of the things that happened in his previous life.
In the early stage, Lu Weimin frequently issued a warning, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of the United Nations, and some relevant departments, at the same time, proposed to be vigilant in some internal publications that the risks of turmoil in West Asia and North Africa may cause harm to the national interests of the country, and suggested that the country should have necessary preparations in this regard, especially in diplomatic and military preparations.
