Chapter 479 Influence(1/2)
From Liang Yuan's frequent activities during this period, it can be seen that the cooperation between Han Shaorong, Yu Jinjie and the Evans Foundation is destined to be a mess.
Cao Mo could also think of many ways to make them more sharp and violent when conflicts broke out.
However, adhering to the fundamental concept that one's own strength is fundamental, Cao Mo did not want to waste too much time on things that benefited himself at the expense of others.
So Cao Mo just spread some rumors casually:
For example, the Bosso-Catro Steel Industrial Complex project has unimaginable prospects;
For example, Tianyue hurriedly launched a steel project in Cotonou, Benin, because it felt the threat posed by the project itself;
For example, Tianyue's steel project has many hidden dangers...
In addition, Cao Mo was not willing to waste too much time. What was more important was to do their own things well.
Fortunately, Tianyue Industrial's additional issuance and merger plan was officially implemented after it was approved by the securities regulatory authorities on the eve of the Spring Festival.
After the implementation of the new additional issuance and merger plan, the domestic processing plants, refineries, import and export trade and market trade of the palm oil business of Cornero Food and Dongsheng Group were all integrated into the listed company Tianyue Industrial. At the same time, Cao Mo also used Tianyue
In the name of investment, RMB 1.2 billion was invested in the listed company Tianyue Industrial.
Prior to this, a compensation agreement for industry vacation of chemical pipelines and pump equipment factories was signed with the Xinhai Municipal Government. The compensation will be received after the year, and the listed company will have a total of 2.7 billion yuan in cash in its account.
The funds will be used to increase capital for Conero Energy, launch the Cotonou steel plant project and build a smaller chemical pipeline and pump equipment factory in Cotonou.
With the rebound in stock prices and the injection of new assets and funds, Tianyue Industrial's market value has finally reached 8 billion.
Of course, Tianyue Industrial’s net assets are also around RMB 8 billion.
It can also be seen from this that the capital market currently does not have many optimistic expectations for the future development of Tianyue Industrial.
After the implementation of this additional issuance and merger, Tianyue Investment's direct or indirect shareholding in the listed company Tianyue Industrial increased to 45%.
Dongsheng Holdings also increased its shareholding in listed companies to 12%.
Sun Hung Investments and Dongjiang Securities' industrial investment funds had no new assets injected into them, and their indirect shareholdings were diluted to 8%.
The shares held by Shen Ji, Song Yuqing, Guo Donghu, Chen Feng and others in Cornero Foods were all swapped into listed companies this time.
Shen Ji personally holds 3% of the shares of the listed company, Chen Shu's shareholding has been diluted to 2%, and Song Yuqing, Guo Donghu, Chen Feng, Yang Deshan and others also hold about 1% of the shares of the listed company respectively.
If the Jidaman family wants to hold shares in a mainland listed company, the procedure will be very complicated. In order to simplify the procedure, all their holdings in Cornero Foods will be transferred to the newly established West African Agriculture Group this time.
The net assets of the newly established West African Agricultural Group have also accumulated to US$400 million, with Tianyue Investment holding 35%, the Jidam family 15%, and Dongsheng Holdings holding 30%.
In addition, 20% of the shares are scattered among partners such as the Felician family, the Sika family, the Blake family, and the Rupert family.
Before Cao Mo returned to Africa this time, after many discussions with Ding Zhaoqiang, Qian Wenhan and Dongjiang Securities (Ge Jun), he decided to give up his three or four-year plan to incorporate Tianyue Industrial into a listed company through asset acquisitions and restructuring.
In this way, Tianyue Industry does not need to deliberately maintain a profitable state in the next five years. The merger and development of Tianyue Industry and the carmaker will naturally be more conducive to the full integration and utilization of resources.
This time, Cao Mo transferred a total of nearly 4 billion yuan back to the country. In addition to 300 million yuan allocated to Muxiang Capital and 1.2 billion yuan injected into the listed company Tianyue Industrial, he also allocated another 2.5 billion yuan in one lump sum.
Among Tianyue Industrial after the merger, Sun Hung Investment, Dongsheng Holdings and the industrial investment fund under Dongjiang Securities jointly injected 1.5 billion in capital.
This also means that Tianyue Industrial has obtained an excess capital increase of 4 billion in one fell swoop, which will ensure that the current rapid expansion of technology and production will be maintained in the next two years and will not be interrupted due to a shortage of funds.
Tianyue Investment's shareholding in Tianyue Industrial was reduced to 60%; management did not inject new capital. Under Cao Mo's lobbying, Qian Wenhan, Ding Zhaoqiang and Dongjiang Securities agreed to reduce the management's shareholding to only 10%.
Sun Hung Investment, Dongsheng Holdings, and Dongjiang Securities made additional large-scale capital injections this time, raising their total shareholding to 30%.
However, even though Cao Mo transferred up to 4 billion yuan of funds back to the country, the capital reserves in overseas accounts still remained at a high level of one billion U.S. dollars due to the continuous accumulation of profits.
The international gold price has fluctuated around the high level of US$1,100 per ounce during this period. This has allowed Ibogu Mining, whose gold mining scale has continued to increase, to maintain a monthly net profit of US$50 million.
After the West African United Cement Group has formed a de facto monopoly on the building materials market in the Gulf of Guinea coastal area, the cost cement price has rebounded to US$120 per ton ahead of the industrial economic situation.
Deculamo Power Supply Group, Cornero Energy and United West African Cement Group finally reached a transmission grid lease agreement.
Taculamo Power Supply Group agreed with Conero Energy to upgrade the transmission grid between Taculamo and Nevin, and Conero Energy will provide power supply guarantee for the West African Cement Group's production base in Nevin. Degulamo Energy
Lamo Power Supply Group charges US$5 million per year as transmission grid leasing fees.
Although in addition to paying an additional lease fee of US$5 million per year and a line reconstruction cost of more than US$40 million, during the lease period, the West African United Cement Group's energy consumption costs can be reduced by half.
Of course, what is more important is stable power supply, which is the prerequisite for maintaining stable production.
Only in this way can the production cost of the Nevin base of the West African United Cement Group be infinitely close to that of the base on the east coast of Lake Conero.
Only the West African Cement Group, with an annual production capacity of finished cement exceeding 13 million tons after the merger, can ensure that it can capture excess profits of more than US$60 million from the market every month.
This result made the Stanning family, which had previously strongly resisted the merger and handed over the West African Cement Group, smile.
After all, the Stanning family still retains a 20% stake in the West African United Cement Group, which is enough for Stanning to maintain its outstanding status as a super wealthy family in the Gulf of Guinea region and completely get rid of the shadow of decline and decline.
Of course, the Felician family, the Sika family, the Blake family, the Rupert family, as well as Sturgeon, Yang Deshan, Wendy Scarfe and others, as Tianyue's collaborators and managers, are in the West African United Cement Group
After the merger was established, it held 22.5% of the shares and was also a big winner.
Due to restrictions on Kanem securities regulations, if the West African United Cement Group wants to be listed on Draculamo and increase its market share in Kanem, there are restrictions on the shareholding ratio of overseas capital.
However, while Cao Mo is reducing the shareholding of Tianyue Investment, he will of course increase the shareholding ratio of his close collaborators as much as possible.
Based on the current profitability of West African United Cement Group, if it is successfully listed on Draculamo, its market value will easily exceed US$10 billion.
The Stanning family is likely to become the richest family in Kanem and even West Africa, while the Felician family, the Sika family, the Blake family, the Rupert family and the Sturgeon family can all have a net worth of three to five.
A huge increase of US$1 billion.
Yang Deshan, Wendy Scutt, etc. as management hold slightly less shares, but the wealth they will cash out in the future will definitely not be lower than that of individuals.
This is a leap that was previously unimaginable.
It will of course be very difficult for a company of this size to be publicly traded on the Draculamore Securities Market, which is extremely immature and has limited scale.
However, the investors who hold the last 27.5% of the shares of West African United Cement and the Stanning family will try their best to deal with this matter, so Cao Mo does not need to worry about it for the time being.
Not to mention the Stanning family, the investors headed by Bertich have a broader and deeper influence in Kanem.
Initially, they forced the Stanning family to accept the merger.
The Evans Foundation wanted to interfere with this and destroy the possibility of Draculamo Power Supply Group leasing the transmission grid. In the end, investors such as Bertich came forward to mediate, making the efforts of the Evans Foundation come to nothing.
At this time, Cao Mo was not afraid of the Evans Foundation's deep roots and powerful power in Kanem.
After all, if the Evans Foundation really ruthlessly shatters the dream of investors such as Bertich to carve up a huge fortune of nearly three billion US dollars, they will definitely use all means to retaliate against the Evans Foundation.
Cao Mo wasn't particularly concerned about whether West African United Cement could be listed as a listed company. After all, given the capital market conditions of Kanem, he didn't know how many years or months it would take until he could freely reduce his shareholding.
If it cannot be listed, the future and destiny of Bertici and other investors and their family will always be closely tied to Tianyue, including the Stanning family.
Even if it cannot be listed, these investors can still receive at least a total of more than 100 million US dollars in dividends from the West African United Cement Group every year. What is there to be disappointed about?
More importantly, after the West African United Cement Group has gone through the integration and internal adjustments during the merger period, it will usher in a new expansion period in the next stage.
Even if borrowing is not considered and only half of the profits are used for acquisitions and new factories for expansion, the annual production capacity of the West African United Cement Group will maintain a high growth rate of 20-30% before the next bottleneck period arrives.
Especially with the strong growth of China's economy, the global economy finally saw hope of emerging from the shadow of the crisis in early 2000.
International crude oil trade has also begun to recover in terms of both scale and price, which has made countries in West Africa whose economies rely heavily on crude oil exports also look happy.
This also indicates that West Africa will launch a new round of infrastructure and urban construction at any time after it has certain financial resources, stimulating demand for cement and other building materials products.
In the foreseeable future, many people can see that West African United Cement will continue to expand.
At this time, Cao Mo planned to invest and construct a series of projects in Cotonou, Benin, such as a steel plant, a copper smelter, an oil refinery, and the second phase of the Cotonou power plant. Although these projects did not directly fall in Canem, Bertici
Investors are also very cooperative.
After all, the cement production base of United West Africa Cement in Cotonou will have a production capacity of more than 4 million tons by the middle of this year. How can they not expect the factory and infrastructure construction in Benin to reach a new level?
Even if it is expected that West Africa will start a new round of infrastructure construction, if the new round of infrastructure construction is directly hosted by the Tianyue Department, is there anything better than this?
Tianyue does not master the smelting technology of copper concentrate. The cooperation framework negotiated by Cao Mo, Zhou Shenhe and Qian Wenhan is that Tianyue Investment and Xinhai Gold both invest US$150 million in the copper smelting plant, with Xinhai Gold
Send out a technical management team.
However, this needs to be reviewed and approved by Xinhai Gold's major state-owned shareholders and the general meeting of shareholders. The whole process is relatively complicated - although the corresponding planning and design work is in progress in an orderly manner, it will not be possible until Xinhai Gold's procedures are completed.
, it will be after April at the earliest.
Construction can start directly after the Spring Festival for the refinery project in Cotonou with a US$400 million investment by the Furkov Petrochemical Group and the second phase of the Cotonou power plant project with a total investment of US$500 million.
In order to further dilute the shareholdings of the Oppenheimer family and Huamao, the funds required for the Cotonou refinery project were first injected directly into Fulkov Investment by Tianyue Investment and Sturgeon, and then through Fulkov Investment.
Cov Investment invests in the Verkov Petrochemical Group.
The first level of capital injection reduces the Oppenheimer family's stake in Fulkov Investments to 5%.
The second level of capital injection will increase Fulkov Investment's shareholding in the Petrochemical Group to 90% and dilute Huamao's shareholding in the Petrochemical Group to 10%.
At the same time, Cao Mo also made a direct acquisition offer to Huamao.
As long as Han Shaorong nods, he can invest US$120 million to acquire 10% of the shares of Fulkov Petrochemical Group held by Huamao.
Of course Han Shaorong would not agree to sell Huamao's shares at such a low price, so he would have to endure that the Fulkov Petrochemical Group will maintain its current high-capital expansion state in the next five or six years. Don't expect Fulkov Petrochemical in the next five or six years.
The group may pay dividends.
This is also the power of Cao Mo as the controlling shareholder. He can even transfer part of the profits of the Fulkov Stone Group through affiliated companies in the future.
For the construction of the new power plant, the listed company Tianyue Industrial will also apply for a loan from Atlantic Bank. However, the capital that Atlantic Bank can currently use is limited. In fact, Cao Mo transferred the funds from the overseas accounts of Ibogu Mining and Tianyue Investment through Atlantic Bank.
Across the bridge, it will be loaned to the listed company Tianyue Industrial for use. The newly built power plant in Cotonou will also be wholly owned by Tianyue Industrial, and its operations will only be integrated into the Conero energy system.
