Chapter 1870 The new prey of the cage of the gold swallowing beast

While Sea Dragon Palace was busy preparing for Gu Xiaobai's next tour, a mysterious rumor appeared in the ports of the three Baltic countries.

It is said that a large multinational company wants to acquire several small shipping companies in the three Baltic countries to form a large shipping company.

This rumor is not particularly surprising. In the past year, shipping has changed from cold to hot, and the transition has caught people off guard.

The appearance of the black swan has changed the situation of the whole world.

From the original shipbuilding enterprises to close down one after another and even gather together to keep warm, now the transaction of bulk goods has risen, and the freight has also risen from the ground.

Coupled with the flooding of the United States and the desperate printing of money, no one knows how to spend the money. Therefore, a lot of hot money has poured into the shipping industry, betting on the future of the shipping industry.

Everyone is happy to hear about these people being taken advantage of.

The shipping industry is an asset-heavy industry. Don't look at the good life now, but how good it is now, how poor and miserable it was before.

Many shipowners almost committed suicide by jumping off the building. Fortunately, they finally survived, and it was time for the shipping industry to recover.

But after the previous difficult times, many shipowners still have lingering fears, for fear that the previous hard times will come back again.

After all, who knows how long this boom will last?

Maybe it fell from heaven to hell overnight?

There are also many shipowners who plan to withdraw from this industry and go to other industries.

For example, the U.S. stock market, which has been flooded by floods, has risen crazily, and virtual currencies that seem to be able to make steady profits by investing money.

Some shipowners are vividly telling their colleagues the bizarre stories they encountered.

One day they received a magical order, the order requirements are very simple, that is, they will be shipped from one place to another within a certain period of time.

The time was a little tight, but the price offered was very generous, but they still accepted it.

The only problem is that the other party has signed a shipping agreement with them that does not even allow "force majeure", guaranteeing that the shipment must be delivered to the designated port on time.

Otherwise, compensation must be sky-high.

Seeing that it was more than three times the asking price, they still agreed.

After completing the order without any risk, what they received was not only the transportation payment, but also an extremely high acquisition price. The other party acquired their shipping company at a price that was three times higher than the market price.

According to these people who drive luxury cars, wear gorgeous clothes, and spend a lot of money, this kind of thing seems to have started a few months ago. They go to various entertainment venues frequented by ship owners and tell their stories tirelessly.

When the first person told this story, others were more skeptical.

But when they heard about the tenth person, many people believed it.

They began to look forward to such a good thing that happened to them.

Then they discovered that, sure enough, some mysterious strangers had appeared.

They show up at the ports of Riga, Klaipeda, Tallinn, scour for goods and arrange their delivery to other ports very close by.

Some are shipped to Helsinki, Finland, some are shipped to St. Petersburg, and some are shipped to Kaliningrad.

Buy everything, want everything, and ask very high prices.

The difference is that they have signed a very strict timeliness agreement for each contract.

It's all the same as it happened in the story.

These transportation distances are too short, and there is really no difficulty. Some people signed the agreement considering that the possibility of force majeure is too low.

Then, someone got the payment that day.

This is a freighter anchored in Tallinn, Estonia, and their destination is the port of Helsinki, Finland.

The distance between these two ports is really too close.

The straight-line distance is only 75 kilometers!

A ship that has been loaded with cargo can arrive in just two hours!
And the payment they get can offset the liquidated damages of the original owner and make a lot of money.

Two hours later, the captain of the ship received triple the payment, and...

The owner of the ship flamboyantly rejected the acquisition offer from the other party.

"I'm not stupid! Now I have a boat in my hand that is a cash cow. Although the price they charge is high, it is only the profit of my boat for a year. I don't plan to do anything else. Only a fool will sell his boat. sold!"

This operation of the shipowner caused a series of "6666" comments in his circle.

Of course, there are also doubts:

"Who the hell is doing this kind of thing?"

"It's kind of a test, I guess, to see if a ship can actually run efficiently."

"Isn't this throwing money casually?"

"I heard that some invisible rich man who made money on virtual currency is really rich!"

"How did I hear that Musk was just throwing money out of boredom?"

"I also heard that a certain super-rich wife after divorce is distributing her wealth..."

All in all, it has it all.

But the only thing everyone can confirm is that this thing is true!Everyone can really make money!
Therefore, in just two or three days, countless shipowners have already signed the agreement and obtained this kind of contract.

There are already more than a dozen shipowners who have received huge profits and acquisition offers.

Just doing random calculations, the payment for goods during this period has already reached hundreds of millions of dollars.

Everyone is wondering where the super rich are distributing benefits.

Most of them felt that there was something wrong with this, that there was something wrong with it.

But people are greedy.

Faced with the huge benefits that may come, many of them ignore the risks.

Especially after tons of people have done it.

The lawyers of these shipowners, after carefully reviewing the agreement, found that the only problem was the clause excluding "force majeure".

However, the distance is only a few tens of kilometers, and the maximum distance is no more than 200 kilometers, which is a one-day voyage.

What force majeure can there be?

Is it possible that someone can freeze the sea?

Obviously this is a test, and if you pass the test you get the money and the acquisition.

Of course there are rules to testing, right?
And there is news from the market that the company has screened enough ships and may be about to end this screening.

For a while, almost all the three ports in the Baltic Sea had no serious cargo ships, and they were all waiting to collect this wool.

Everyone was afraid that they would be late and the quota would run out, so they rushed to sign the agreement.

At the same time, at the gates of the factories in the three Baltic countries, there were also mysterious people from different places who began to purchase goods in large quantities; some people ordered flights at the airport; even people in the tertiary industry signed service agreements.

What they have in common is that they need to be urgent, and the agreement excludes force majeure.

For a while, at least billions of dollars of hot money poured into the three Baltic countries.

It makes all industries in the three countries feel like they have been beaten with chicken blood.

Everyone scrambles, lest they be too late.
