Hexagonal God

Chapter 541 National Essence
Su Mo wanted to build his own shipping company, but this industry required a long period of planning, and after being reminded by his leader, he found that ordering tankers also took a long time.

Su Mo wants to build a drinking water plant in the Middle East and then exchange water for oil. This is not a one-time process.

His canal has not been dug yet, but his construction team has already arrived in southern Yunnan and has communicated with Myanmar. They can cross the border to Thailand to start construction at any time.

After all, Su Mo also has the title of honorary citizen of two cities in Myanmar, which makes communication easier.

He will soon travel to Thailand to participate in the project bidding.

As long as they win the bid, Su Mo will start construction immediately, which shows the speed.

However, building a grand canal that runs across the east and west involves so much work that it is a miracle to be able to enable basic navigation within a year.

It is normal for such things to drag on for three to five years, and Su Mo did not expect the canal to be opened immediately.

In the early stages, you still have to go through the Strait of Malacca, and at worst you just have to pay a fee.

So he decided to acquire a shipping company. After all, ordering ships was too slow, so it would be more convenient to acquire one.

Acquire an existing one. Once the industry chain has people and staff, you can go out to sea directly. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to build a drinking water plant but have no ships to transport the oil back.

Su Mo checked and found that there are several major shipping companies now.

They are China Ocean Shipping Group Company.

COSCO SHIPPING Lines Co., Ltd.

China Evergreen Marine.

China Merchants Energy Shipping Co., Ltd.

Orient Overseas Container Line, Hong Kong, China.

These five companies are currently the five largest in the country. Among them, China Ocean Shipping Group Corporation is a state-owned enterprise, and also a central enterprise, with a dual identity.

It is difficult for this company to fall into Su Mo's hands, including the second-ranked China COSCO Shipping Container Lines Company, because it is a subsidiary of the first company.

The fourth-ranked China Merchants Energy Shipping Co., Ltd. is also a state-owned enterprise. Such enterprises can only accept capital injections unless they are poorly managed and undergo bankruptcy restructuring. Otherwise, they basically cannot get the capital.

Even if the business is not well managed, not everyone can get it. There must be someone to pave the way and build bridges, and someone to help speak up.

If the leaders of Shanghai could help speak up, it would definitely be possible, but the leaders didn't say anything.

Su Mo knew that the purchase of the IFC Building last time was already thanks to the help of his superiors, and his current contribution to the country was not enough to make the superiors help again.

So Su Mo now has only two targets, one is Evergreen Marine and the other is Orient Overseas Container Line.

This company in Hong Kong was founded by Tung Chao-Yen and is now controlled by the Tung Kim-wah family.

The company is mainly engaged in international container transportation and logistics business, with routes all over the world, providing one-stop services such as warehousing, distribution, and customs declaration.

Su Mo had an impression of Evergreen Shipping.

This company is from Taiwan and was founded by Chang Yung-fa. Later, during the Paris Olympics, the hotels under this company did not fly the Chinese national flag and were boycotted by netizens.

Later, an Evergreen container ship wanted to enter the country, but was rejected by all major customs. It had to drift on the sea for two months and was unable to enter the country.

So Su Mo didn't have a very good impression of this company, but it didn't affect his desire to acquire it.

After all, those things haven't happened yet. No matter which company is willing to sell, Su Mo can take over.

After locking in these two companies, Su Mo sent Yang An to Hong Kong Island and Taiwan to contact the two companies and discuss the acquisition.

This won’t take too long. A round trip to Hong Kong Island will take about three days.

Su Mo stayed in Hengdian these days. Not only did the company have some unfinished business, but Tang Mei and Ye Xiaoxiao had not left yet. He had completed the contract today and had to stay with them.

There is another big thing on the company's side, which is Moyin's listing, which is going to happen within this week. After all, the procedures are familiar, and his birthday was such a sensation, which is also good for the improvement of the stock market.

According to information from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the valuation this time will probably reach 180 billion.

Su Mo was satisfied with this number. This was only the A round, and it was already remarkable to be able to reach this number.

Su Mo only needs to go and ring the bell on the day when the hammer falls and that's it. He doesn't need to go there in the next few days, otherwise there will be a fire in the backyard.

Today, Su Mo gritted his teeth and invited all the girls who had not left to come over, ready to take everyone to have a good time at the film and television city.

Hua Qianqian went back, Shen Qiangwei went back, and Bai Mengqiao went back.

Scarlett, Elizabeth and Lily from abroad also returned.

Zaza went back, the little elk went back, and AB also went back.

Luo Qun went to attend an announcement, Lin Shiyun went to film a movie, and An Feifei went to audition for a film crew.

Chen Chen didn't want to go back, but Su Shuang, who was bribed by Su Mo, took him away by force.

But Tang Mei didn't go back, Ye Xiaoxiao didn't go back, and Shen Yourong didn't go back either.

Su Mo decided to take the three of them to experience our country's quintessence of culture.

Play majiang.

Girls dislike each other. Emotion is one aspect, and lack of communication is another.

Playing mahjong together will definitely help to enhance relationships, and Su Mo can also give them some pocket money in disguise to improve their favorability, killing two birds with one stone.

Shen Yourong originally thought she had no chance and planned to follow up on the progress of a milk commercial, but Tang Mei wouldn't let her go.

Because Tang Mei knew that Ye Xiaoxiao had not left and there was no reinforcement, Tang Mei was still unsure.

Although Shen Yourong's IQ was questionable, she was strong enough to withstand Ye Xiaoxiao's beauty attack, so she was kept by her. Today, Su Mo asked them to play mahjong in the Yangxin Palace, and Tang Mei and Shen Yourong came with great momentum.

Ye Xiaoxiao is also a lone hero. She came alone and was not afraid of the combination of Tang Mei and Shen Yourong at all.

At the beginning, everyone was very excited and no one was willing to give in to the other, but as the game of mahjong started, the situation changed.

Su Mo made full preparations for today's card game.

He prepared five million chips for each of the three girls.

The minimum bet is 10,000 yuan, and there are various bonuses. If you lose all, you have to exchange it for cash.

The initial five million for each person was provided by Su Mo, and if you lose again, you have to pay for it yourself.

It was impossible for Tang Mei and Shen Yourong not to be nervous in such a big card game.

Even if Su Mo is rich, they don't want to lose all their chips to Ye Xiaoxiao. That would be too easy for her.

So when I got nervous, I forgot about the confrontation and started concentrating on playing cards.

Ye Xiaoxiao is in a similar situation. Even though she is a rich lady, Su Mo's card game is too big. The winnings and losses of a hand are at least hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, or even millions.

Su Mo fired a shot at Tang Mei right away. All three lost money. Su Mo lost a little more, more than 200,000 yuan, while Ye Xiaoxiao and Shen Yourong both lost 180,000 yuan.

Tang Mei won hundreds of thousands of dollars in one go, and the excitement and thrill were beyond words.

Su Mo shuffled the cards and said, "After you win, return the five million chips to me. The rest is yours. But if you lose, remember to pay. If you don't have money, write me an IOU."

Shen Yourong snorted, "Then who knows if you'll cheat? If you deliberately set Tang Mei up, what if Xiaoxiao and I lose everything? Xiaoxiao still has money to give, but I don't."

"If there's no money, I'll deduct it from your salary. Aren't you an employee of Su Tang Pictures? You'll work for Su Tang Pictures for the rest of your life."

"You! Su Paopi! Xiaoxiao, you better be careful, we are feeding each other cards."

Ye Xiaoxiao smiled happily: "Okay, let's form an alliance and prevent them from succeeding."

Su Mo looked at her with a smile, and Tang Mei couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand.

She now reflected that keeping Shen Yourong might have been a mistake.

She knew exactly what Su Mo was planning, which was simply to improve the relationship between them.

Tang Mei didn't really want Su Mo to get what he wanted, so she brought Shen Yourong with her to fight against Ye Xiaoxiao.

But this idiot betrayed the country and defected to the enemy right after the first round.

Su Mo was very proud of this.

She glared at Su Mo, and in a moment of distraction, she accidentally fired a shot at Ye Xiaoxiao.

"Ah! It's a tie! All the same color. Thank you, Sister Tang Mei!"

Ye Xiaoxiao was very happy. She smiled at Tang Mei with curved eyebrows. Her smile was so beautiful that even Tang Mei, a woman, couldn't help but feel her heart beating faster.

In particular, she could clearly feel Ye Xiaoxiao's kindness. At this moment, Ye Xiaoxiao might have forgotten the conflict. Her smile was extremely sincere and contagious.

"This girl is really silly, but she's also really cute."

Tang Mei couldn't help but feel a little more favorable towards Ye Xiaoxiao. If it weren't for Su Mo's relationship, she would really like to be friends with Ye Xiaoxiao.

But now, alas! Let's take it one step at a time.

Tang Mei didn't know why, but she was no longer so averse to the fact that Su Mo was a little fickle.

Su Mo could feel the atmosphere gradually becoming more relaxed, so he worked even harder.

You must not forget that Su Mo has a special ability, he is a con man.

Moreover, he was an expert con man. With this skill, Su Mo won the Ming and Qing Palace Garden of Lao Pan on the gambling boat.

Now facing three rookies at the poker table, Su Mo is like a fish in water.

Whoever he wants to make will make him make him, and whoever he wants to win will win.

He just had to fire the cannon.

After eight rounds of mahjong, Tang Mei and Ye Xiaoxiao each won more than 8 million, and Shen Yourong also won more than 6 million.

Su Mo lost alone, without a single hand, and lost more than 20 million.

After the girls returned the five million chips to Su Mo, Su Mo directly cashed out all the money they won.

Even for Ye Xiaoxiao, it was the first time she won so much money, and she was as happy as a child.

Not to mention Tang Mei and Shen Yourong, they actually also felt that Su Mo might be giving them money in disguise, but they had no evidence at all.

After checking Su Mo's cards several times, they found that he really didn't make a mistake on purpose, so they were all suspicious but not sure.

Shen Yourong simply thought that Su Mo was unlucky, and that it was because of her and Ye Xiaoxiao's good cooperation. She held Ye Xiaoxiao's hand and said, "We succeeded! We didn't lose to the Su Papi couple!"

Ye Xiaoxiao also took Shen Yourong's hand: "Then let's treat them to dinner today."

"Okay! I'll pay, and no one can snatch it from me!"

Shen Yourong became inflated with more than 6 million yuan deposited into his bank card and started clamoring to pay the bill.

Su Mo really liked their interaction and the atmosphere, and felt that something good might happen tonight.
