Era: I have a two-world door

Chapter 499, Isn’t this what should be done?

In the afternoon, I followed Liu Hong to conduct an on-site inspection of the factory.

Including nearby roads and the seaside.

Liu Hong looked at the seaside and said softly, "The land here is very cheap, but transportation is not very convenient. I heard that they are going to reclaim land to build a port, but I don't know when it will be built."

Wang Qingsong looked at the seashore and the deserted island opposite.

There was indeed a pier here in later generations.

However, it will take ten years for it to be officially put into use, and construction will probably take several years to start.

After its completion, this terminal became the world's largest terminal in terms of throughput, and was not surpassed by Shanghai until 2007.

But it is also the third in the world.

In ten years, the land prices here will skyrocket.

Then he collected his thoughts and said with a smile: "Since the Hong Kong government has this intention, it will definitely be available in the future. In fact, the transportation is not bad."

It's only a few kilometers away from Victoria Harbour, so this isn't considered inconvenient transportation.

It is really inconvenient to transport hundreds or even thousands of kilometers to the mainland!

30 square meters, which is very large.

But although it is small, it is actually not that big, only about five or six hundred meters long and wide.

After seeing enough, everyone drove back.

In the afternoon, we went to the teahouse in the city.

At this time, the teahouse had closed down and all the staff inside had gone to find new jobs.

……

In the next few days, Wang Qingsong followed these people every day to handle company affairs.

The bidding meeting has also been opened.

I have visited almost every department of the Hong Kong government.

This also gave Wang Qingsong a lot of insights.

Although I don’t particularly understand it, I have experienced it.

Of course, this will only take a few days, and he will slowly get involved in things he has not experienced before.

As for Zhou Ying, he didn't go there because she hadn't come back yet.

Du Wanting has been well fed these days.

That afternoon, the two took time out to have afternoon tea in the office.

Wang Qingsong said to Du Wanting, "I have something to do tomorrow, so I may not be able to come here until the evening these days. Tell me about the situation here then."

We should go to Guangshi tomorrow, and the project will start soon. The steel bars and cement should have arrived by now.

It's time to receive the goods.

In addition to these, it is time to pick up those CNC machine tools and machining centers.

Du Wanting nodded gently: "Okay, I know, I will report the progress to you when the time comes!"

After the matter was settled, Wang Qingsong called Chen, the fishmonger.

The person who answered the phone was the henchman over there.

After a while, the fishmonger Chen answered the phone: "Ah Xuan?"

"It's me, Boss Chen! How are you thinking about what I proposed earlier?"

"Haha, Xuan, we have already thought about it. When can we find a time to discuss the details?"

Naturally, it depends on how much you invest and how much shares you hold.

Wang Qingsong looked at the time and said with a smile, "Okay, see when you are free and come to our company to talk."

Then I told the other party my phone number and address.

Things are settled.

After hanging up the phone, he put it down and said to Du Wanting: "Boss Chen has agreed to come over to discuss the joint venture. I don't understand much, so you can talk to them when the time comes."

The other party used to be a lawyer, so there wouldn't be any major problems with the contract.

He also talked about the situation these days.

Du Wanting nodded gently: "Okay! When they come, we will discuss the details. Should we discuss it according to the previous plan?"

The shipping company's matters have been discussed these days, and she has also drafted a number of contracts.

I already have some plans in mind.

Wang Qingsong nodded gently: "Well, let's follow the previous discussion and see what their bottom line is!"

After the matter was settled, the two of them waited there.

An hour later, there was a knock on the door.

A girl wearing glasses walked in: "Mr. Du, there is a man named Chen looking for Mr. Wang."

The other party was Du Wanting's newly recruited secretary.

Upon hearing this, Du Wanting turned her head and looked at Wang Qingsong.

Wang Qingsong stood up when he saw this: "That should be Boss Chen! Let's go out and answer him."

Then several people stood up and walked towards the door.

"Boss Chen!"

"Axuan!"

The two of them smiled and greeted each other from a distance.

The fishmonger Chen brought four or five people with him.

After the two shook hands, Wang Qingsong introduced: "Boss Chen, this is our company's general manager, Du Wanting, she will be in charge of this matter. Wanting, this is Boss Chen."

"Thunder Monkey! Boss Du!"

The fishmonger Chen smiled and shook hands.

Du Wanting shook hands with the other party: "Hello, Boss Chen! Let's go to the meeting room first! Ah Jing, serve tea!"

Then the group came to the already arranged meeting room.

After they came in, Boss Chen introduced them: "This is our hometown association. We heard that Boss Wang wanted to do shipping, so we wanted to come and take a look!"

Hearing this, Wang Qingsong looked at the others and said with a smile, "Oh, okay, please sit down first. Sorry, I have a cold recently, so I am wearing a mask."

When they heard this, they all smiled and didn't care.

They all sat down.

"Boss Chen, what are you going to think?"

After Wang Qingsong sat down, he asked the fishmonger Chen.

As long as he and the other party have agreed on the general direction, someone will naturally take care of the details.

The fishmonger Chen lit up a cigarette and said with a smile, "My hometown association and I are willing to invest a total of three million, divided into three batches, and all will arrive within three months. What about Mr. Wang?"

Wang Qingsong has discussed this with Du Wanting for a long time.

Naturally, I have some thoughts in my mind.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Our company is willing to invest in five cargo ships with a total tonnage of no less than 5 tons. We can evaluate the specific price when the ships arrive..."

I told him about my situation.

In fact, there is really no need for an evaluation. A cargo ship that has been in operation for 25 years costs more than 70 US dollars.

Even if they are all second-hand cargo ships, the total price is close to four or five million US dollars.

If converted into Hong Kong dollars, it would be about 30 to 40 million Hong Kong dollars.

After hearing this, several people looked at each other and nodded slightly.

The next thing to talk about is shares.

Each has its own advantages.

The hometown association has a lot of customer resources.

The fishmonger Chen is also responsible for managing the company, recruiting seafarers and so on. Generally speaking, they are in charge of the operations.

Third-party audits are conducted twice a year.

The two parties talked for a long time before they reached a preliminary agreement.

The ship that sold fish to Chen before was 2000 tons, and the market price was around HK$101 million.

Adding their three million in cash, the total came to four million.

The ship that Wang Qingsong is sending out is a cargo ship worth no less than HK$3600 million and with a total tonnage of no less than 4 tons.

Chen, the fishmonger, holds a 15% stake.

If there are more ships joining in later, the two sides will talk about it then, and Chen, the fish seller, has the right to increase capital in the same proportion.

The general direction is going smoothly.

The next step is to draft the specific details of the contract.

This was not a small contract. After the matter was settled, Wang Qingsong shook hands with the fishmonger Chen and said with a smile, "Mr. Chen, it's a pleasure to work with you!"

"It's a pleasure to work with you! Come on, I'll treat you to tea!"

The fishmonger Chen said with a smile.

Shipping requires a large investment, but the money comes in really quickly.

The shipping business is so booming now that a long-distance voyage, if all goes well, can pay back the investment within a year.

Of course, if you are unlucky, it is unknown when you will get your money back.

Wang Qingsong smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, forget about the tea. I have something else to do today. Next time, I will definitely invite you guys for tea."

Seeing him say that, the fishmonger Chen did not force him.

After thinking for a while, he nodded: "Okay! That's settled then."

The deal was settled, the two exchanged pleasantries, and then the fishmonger Chen left with his men.

After everyone left, Du Wanting asked, "Isn't it too risky for you to do this? The initiative is not in your hands."

Wang Qingsong smiled when he heard this: "Don't worry, I'm not stupid! I know what you're talking about. Are you worried that they will turn against us when shipping is in a downturn?"

"Yup!"

"It's okay! I have my own plan for this."

This problem may be a big hidden danger for others.

But for him, the problem is really not that big.

If things really develop into a situation in the future and the other party stabs you in the back, it will be very troublesome at a critical moment.

These are all based on a lack of money.

At that time, the company was his and his reputation had already spread.

Even if these people withdraw their investment, the ship is his, and the worst that can happen is he can just find someone else to manage the company again.

But at that time, it would cause some damage to the company.

There will also be many negative impacts on the outside world.

As long as the customer is well protected it doesn’t matter much, and this will also be reflected in the contract.

He also knows that there will be several times in the future when shipping prices will explode, especially in five years.

In 1967, the Suez Canal was blocked.

Freight rates have skyrocketed in the past eight years.

It was also at this time that the charter ship king completed his transformation into a shipping tycoon.

It was also during this period that charter boat kings were buying boats everywhere.

Because during this period, sea transportation is really profitable.

Because the Suez Canal is blocked, the time cost of the route increases, and the number of cargo ships occupied will increase.

Prices are skyrocketing.

and so!
In the next five years, he needs to accumulate enough cargo ships.

Anyway, there is someone to take care of the cargo ship, and he doesn't have to operate it himself.

Maybe a new shipping king will emerge.

Du Wanting looked at his expression and shook her head: "Then you should think it over carefully. I can only remind you that you can't do anything with money."

Wang Qingsong naturally knew that she meant well.

Nodded: "Okay, I get it, you form a team and buy me a boat!"

At first he was planning to get everything from the funeral arrangements.

But after thinking about it, I decided to temporarily change some proportions.

The ships of later generations must be brought here.

But he still wants to buy a ship of this era.

One of the important reasons is that it is much easier to make money here than in later generations.

Another reason is share.

There are only so many ships. If he buys too many, others will have less!

By then, there will be fewer people competing with him for business.

Eight years of prosperity were enough for him to grow his shipping company to a certain scale.

Even if the fishmonger Chen really wanted to leave, he couldn't bear to do so.

He also knew something that others didn't know, which was the time when the Suez Canal would be unblocked.

If the fishmonger Chen is really a traitor, he has a way to give the other party a big gift before the Suez Canal is unblocked.

You know, once the Suez Canal is unblocked, it will have a huge impact on shipping.

So many ships have been added at once, and once the Suez Canal is unblocked, there will be no large orders in the short term.

The more ships you have, the more you lose.

shipbuilding!

Think of this.

Wang Qingsong's heart moved.

The current 10,000-ton giant ships in the mainland will have accidents on May 1st next year.

He had to remember this.

But at this moment he thought about whether this was the problem.

But shipbuilding.

Giant ships of 10,000 tons are still being built in the mainland, but smaller ships of several thousand tons can also be built in the mainland.

If this order is given to the mainland, I wonder if it can help develop the mainland's shipbuilding industry.

Even though he knew that these short ten years would have little impact on the mainland.

It’s not impossible!

I just don't know whether the sale is allowed in the mainland now.

this is a problem.

I was thinking about the feasibility of this matter in my mind!
"what are you thinking?"

Seeing that he was in a daze, Du Wanting asked curiously.

Wang Qingsong came back to his senses and smiled: "Nothing, just talking about the boat..."

Speak out your thoughts.

After listening to this, Du Wanting was puzzled: "Why do you always think of the mainland for good things?"

Hearing this, Wang Qingsong was puzzled: "Isn't this as it should be? Money needs to be made, but there is no end to it. Since they are all orders, why not give them to the mainland instead of giving them to foreigners?

These ships can be exported to earn foreign exchange. Now cars can be exported, so ships should be able to be exported as well!"

Hearing this, Du Wanting nodded slightly.

Although she has been in Hong Kong for many years, she is a mainlander after all.

She is naturally happy that the mainland is becoming stronger.

It’s mainly because of what Wang Qingsong said: there is no end to making money.

How come making money is such a simple thing in his opinion!
However, she felt that there was something wrong with what Wang Qingsong said, but she couldn't tell what it was.

After thinking about it, I decided not to think about this issue anymore.

He collected his thoughts and said, "Okay, then I will set up a team, connect with Boss Chen, and go out to buy a boat!"

Then he thought of something and said, "Oh, by the way, you said you wanted to get some orders from the mainland later. The cost of a new ship is very high!"

Wang Qingsong smiled when he heard this: "Don't worry, the cost of shipbuilding in the mainland will only be lower than that outside! Of course, technology and materials are part of it."

There is always a reason why the price is low.

Although the blockade is part of the reason, technology and materials are indeed a shortcoming.

But the steel plate didn't seem to be a big problem for him.

Mr. Yang has a shipyard, so there shouldn’t be any major problems with steel. The next thing is technology.

Technology doesn’t seem to be the solution!
Then shake off the thoughts and take it slow!

I always feel that I have been a little too aggressive recently, and I do whatever I think of. If I continue like this, the speed at which I make money will not be able to keep up with the speed at which I spend!
He collected his thoughts and said to Du Wanting, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. I have something else to do. I probably won't be back tonight. I'll leave by train tomorrow."

"Okay, then you go get busy first!"

There is no more resentment as before.

Wang Qingsong smiled and kissed the other person before leaving the office.

After coming out, he drove away for a while, stopped in a sparsely populated place, and quietly returned to Zhou Ying.
