Just after the vacation, Ivan finally received news. Ivan gave two options for the cooperation mode. One, like Natasha, Yang Dongxu only provides suggestions, and other people will handle the specific operations, and he will receive a large commission.
The second method of cooperation is that after a period of time, Ivan will provide Yang Dongxu with a sum of funds. Yang Dongxu can make the investment entirely by himself, and if he makes money, he will get a generous share.
The first cooperation model is the simplest. After giving a general investment direction, Yang Dongxu has nothing to do with him. No matter how much money he makes, or if someone pursues anything later, it has nothing to do with him.
The second cooperation model has higher returns, but the risks are also obvious. The country’s money is not so easy to get. If you get too close to people with political overtones, even if the *** doesn’t come after him in the future, he will be beaten. Political labels can make many things difficult.
After careful consideration, Yang Dongxu chose the first cooperation model. Although the reward was smaller, there was no risk after all. Earn less, earn less. Anyway, there are many ways to make money in his mind.
However, in terms of payment method, Yang Dongxu did not ask for cash. Instead, he chose to let the other party exchange it for other things, such as some precision instruments that are prohibited from being exported to China, or some technologies, etc., especially computer technology or talents, which Yang Dongxu is eager to obtain.
"Wu Aibing was already dark enough when he came back, but I didn't expect you to be even darker." Yang Dongxu looked at Du Suo in front of him and said with a smile.
Ever since the overseas personnel of Sharp Blade Security Company went to the Middle East, Yang Dongxu hadn't seen Du Suo for almost half a year. He was usually followed by Du Fei or Jie Chengwu in turn.
Compared with Du Suo half a year ago, the Du Suo in front of him is darker and stronger. Compared with the evil aura that he carried from the Soviet Union from time to time, the current Du Suo's aura is more restrained.
If you saw him walking on the street, you would just think that the man in front of you is a middle-aged uncle who is struggling for life. They would not have thought that this old man who looked like he had gone through many years of life was actually a mercenary who had already achieved great fame in the Middle East and had participated in real wars.
Eastern Fox, this is the nickname given to him by other mercenaries in the Middle East and those who mentored Du Suo. This middle-aged uncle who looks as simple as a rural man has a cunning and ruthlessness that belies his appearance.
"The sun over there is indeed very tough, but life is equally wonderful." Du Suo can be said to be a born warrior. In the past, he had to put away his sharp edges due to life reasons.
Ever since he took charge of the overseas department of Sharp Blade Security Company, he was like a dragon returning to the sea, and he was frighteningly energetic every day. Even Jie Chengwu, a guy who never admits defeat, has said more than once in recent years that Du Suo is a monster when fighting.
If they were facing each other head-on, the two of them would be open to each other, while he would be at a disadvantage. But if they were allowed to hunt each other in the wild without any restrictions, he would definitely be the one who died. He was not sure whether he could hurt Du Suo before he died. This shows how abnormal Du Suo is now.
"Just rest for a while when you come back. After all, there's nothing important to do now, so don't be nervous all the time." Yang Dongxu motioned to Du Suo to face him, reached for the teapot and started making tea.
"It's not comfortable to stay in Beijing." Du Suo grinned, showing white teeth that were completely opposite to his skin color.
In the Middle East, he is like a tiger entering the forest, free and unlimited to hunt. But when he returned to Yanjing and faced the peaceful life without any fireworks, Du Suo felt uncomfortable as if he was locked in a cage.
"You make up your own mind." Yang Dongxu glanced at Du Suo and nodded, without saying anything else.
He could see that Du Suo really liked life in the Middle East. Everyone had their own choice. Since Du Suo liked it, there was no need for him to force him to stay.
"Have you read the information that was sent back before?" Du Suo asked after taking a sip of tea.
"Look, I want all the shares given, but the money may not be available in one go." Yang Dongxu nodded.
Before Du Suo comes back, let someone bring back a piece of information. The content of the information surprised Yang Dongxu. He did not expect that he could not get on the train to buy oil fields to fight the fire, so he got on the train to sell shares of Kuwait National Oil Company. This was undoubtedly a huge piece of pie falling from the sky.
But think about the current situation in Kuwait, which is still full of fire, and the fact that oil companies in the entire Middle East basically need to look at the face of the United States as a powerful power. At a time when the country is continuing to spend large sums of money to resume construction, it is understandable for the Kuwaiti royal family to sell part of its equity.
After all, although the current Middle Eastern royal family is not poor, it is far from being as wealthy as later generations. The current oil price is not very high because China has not yet developed.
It is no exaggeration to say that the accumulation of wealth of the Middle East's wealthy people and the curve of China's economic development will basically remain the same in the next ten years or so.
The faster China develops and the more international oil prices rise, the richer these tycoons in the Middle East will become. If China's economic development encountered obstacles that year, international oil prices would definitely fluctuate.
"As long as it doesn't take too long, you can pay in installments. I still have some say in Prince Maha. Regardless of whether we agree to acquire these shares, the manpower we have now is far from enough."
The other party only sold the shares to Yang Dongxu, a little-known person, and naturally had other interests. Dusuo will be stationed in the Middle East in the future, and becoming the general security adviser to Prince Maha is one of the conditions.
Also, this war makes the entire Kuwaiti royal family tremble with fear even thinking about it. But if they want to increase military spending to enrich the country and strengthen the country, the boss of the United States will definitely not agree, so mercenaries have become the best choice for the royal family.
Of course, national security cannot be left to mercenaries. But having a reliable mercenary on hand will undoubtedly make them sleep more peacefully.
Therefore, Du Suo, who has been very conspicuous in the Middle East for more than half a year, became one of the targets of the other party's investigation. After one or two months of contact and testing, Du Suo became the guest of Prince Maha, so this time he had a close relationship. First come first opportunity.
"It does take a long time, about more than a year. However, the down payment is no less than 500 million US dollars, and subsequent payments of no less than 50 million US dollars will be made every quarter."
Although Yang Dongxu now has money in his hands, there is still a big gap between the 11.3% of the shares and the US$1.3 billion. A direct down payment of US$500 million is already his limit, otherwise there is a high risk of the capital chain breaking.
However, even if the belt is tightened, this share must still be won. Compared with the market value of Kuwait National Petroleum Company in later generations, the current price of 1% of the shares is only more than 100 million US dollars, which is simply a bargain price. If this opportunity is not seized, Yang Dongxu will wake up with heartache in his dreams.
"If the down payment is US$500 million, there should be no problem." Du Suo thought about it and felt that this problem should not be big.
After all, although Kuwait was severely destroyed by the war, fortunately the country is not big, and some oil wells have begun to resume production one after another, so the payment of US$500 million is enough to meet Prince Maha's urgent needs.
"Is it peaceful there recently?" Yang Dongxu asked.
Now that a consensus can be reached, a contract needs to be formally signed. With such a big order, either he or Zhou Ya would definitely go, and now he undoubtedly couldn't leave.
So Zhou Ya needs to go there, and at the same time, he has no intention of placing these shares in the name of a domestic company. All preparations have been put into the list of foreign assets, so Zhou Ya needs to come forward in person. All Yang Dongxu's overseas assets are currently in her name. She can save a lot of things by going there in person. But if Zhou Ya wants to go there, personal safety will naturally be the first priority.
"You can rest assured that when Miss Zhou arrives in the Middle East, I will personally protect her. In fact, you don't need to go to Kuwait to sign the contract. Although some royal families have gone back, some are still taking refuge in other countries. So even if you go to the United States to sign the contract, I I think Prince Maha won’t mind.”
"Okay, you have arranged this matter. There has been a bit of chaos in the north recently. Please help pay attention to Wu Aibing's side."
"I know this. Before I came back, I had sent another team there." Du Suo nodded, then hesitated and said, "Have you had any cooperation with Ivan recently?"
"What's wrong?" Yang Dongxu looked at Du Suo in confusion, wondering why he suddenly asked this question.
"I've also heard rumors, but I don't know if it's true. The Soviet Union is also a major oil-producing country, so it has some involvement with some big oil companies in the Middle East. Recently, Ivan often travels to some big oil companies. There seems to be something being planned among the top brass."
"Is it possible that Ivan is eyeing Russian oil?" Yang Dongxu raised his eyebrows.
Then I thought of some rumors about Russian rich people in later generations. It was said that when the Soviet Union collapsed, although the entire country's economy suffered a devastating blow, many people still became rich overnight and became world-famous rich people.
It is unknown how many of these rich people's assets were obtained by misappropriating state-owned assets. And what Ivan is doing now is undoubtedly surprisingly similar to these rumors.
"I will be careful about this matter. You should also be careful over there. After all, we are not in the country. If something happens, I won't be able to help even if I want to." Yang Dongxu suggested.
...
...
Du Suo stayed in Yanjing for three days, then returned to the village, and took a few young people away to the Middle East.
After Zhou Ya arranged the VCD patent matter, she decided to sign the contract with Prince Maha in the United States, and then she would fly directly to Finland from there.
Yang Dongxu has never had a clue about the computer foundry business. The main reason is that there are no first-class computer companies in the country. The most famous IT company in the country is Inspur, but IT is not the same as computers.
As for Founder and Lenovo, which are related to computing, their current internal resource allocation sometimes fails to make enough money, so naturally they have no intention of looking for OEMs.
As for international computer companies, I'm sorry. At present, the first impression foreigners have about China is: does that place have electricity? Have a car? Or is there ice cream?
So when I heard that a Chinese company wanted to do OEM work, I rejected it without even investigating it.
So Zhou Ya only flew to Finland after signing the contract. After currently unable to find a computer OEM, Yang Dongxu asked Yang Dongxu to see if he could get involved in mobile phone manufacturing.
At present, Motorola has taken off, and Nokia also has the capital to take off. Although Yang Dongxu has shares in both companies, after thinking about it, Yang Dongxu focused on Nokia.
