Chapter 127 Who is behind the scenes!

As a well-known shipbuilding technology powerhouse in Asia, Singapore has unique geographical advantages.Ships from various countries to and from the Straits of Malacca will more or less choose Singapore as a transit point for their ocean-going voyages.

Xu Haibao, who had contacted him for a visit before Xiangjiang, took Tang Xingyou and his party to have breakfast at the hotel, and then took a bus to the first shipyard.This shipyard is well-known in Singapore, and its shipbuilding technology is naturally relatively strong.

To Xu Haibao's surprise, when he brought people to the shipyard, the shipyard only sent a business manager to receive them.It involves a salvage ship worth over [-] million yuan, I believe any shipyard will pay attention to it.

From the mouth of this Chinese-speaking business manager, Xu Haibao could somewhat sense that something seemed wrong.Anyway, in his previous life, Xu Haibao knew more or less that many shipyards welcome the business of customizing salvage ships.

Taking the opportunity of chatting, Xu Haibao also smiled and said: "It seems that the business of your factory is very busy!"

"Mr. Xu laughed! The shipyard has a lot of orders, and the business is really too busy. Originally, Li always wanted to entertain Mr. Xu and his party in person, but he suddenly had a schedule and couldn't leave. Please forgive me, Mr. Xu." !"

"It's okay! Since you Mr. Li are so busy with business and your factory's business orders are also so busy, then I won't bother you any more. I hope to have a chance to cooperate next time, so farewell!"

The sudden farewell made the business manager very surprised and said: "Mr. Xu, don't you want to visit the shipyard? Besides, don't you want to customize a salvage ship? Why don't you just leave without taking a look?"

"Although I just learned to do business, I know more or less that doing business requires showing sincerity. I came to your factory to customize salvage boats because you have experience in this field. Unfortunately, I don't see any The sincerity of wanting to cooperate."

"Where did Mr. Xu say this?"

Just when the business manager looked flustered, Xu Haibao said with a half-smile: "Although it's my first time to come to Singapore, I have heard of some of the high-level executives of Kegui Factory. You Mr. Li really So busy!"

Leaving such a sentence behind, Xu Haibao got up and left quickly.On the other hand, the business manager who heard this didn't know how to answer Xu Haibao's words.After all, that Mr. Li is indeed in the company, but he just doesn't want to receive Xu Haibao.

As for why he didn't receive door-to-door customers, the business manager was also at a loss.I thought it was Mr. Li who appreciated him and gave him a chance to make money and take orders.Now it seems that there must be hidden secrets in it.

On the other hand, Tang Xingyou, who followed and left, was puzzled and said, "Swordfish, what's going on?"

"Nothing! It seems that people are not interested in our order. In fact, we have met Mr. Li before, and I don't know why he went back on his word and sent a business manager to receive us.

Since they don't have the sincerity to cooperate, why should we put our hot faces on our cold butts?After all, we just want to order a salvage boat, and it's not that we don't have money.I really don't believe that this door-to-door business, there are still people pushing it out! "

"You mean, someone is playing tricks?"

Zhao Ji, who accompanied the inspection of the shipyard, said such a sentence with a dignified expression.But Xu Haibao shook his head with a smile and said: "It's too early to draw this conclusion. Don't worry, I can afford to wait! I can afford to play too!"

When leaving the shipyard, Xu Haibao found that the shipyard did not do anything to retain him, which further confirmed Xu Haibao's guess.At this time, in the management office of the shipyard, Mr. Li, who was in charge of the shipyard's business, also had a troubled expression on his face.

The business manager who received Xu Haibao before said in a puzzled way: "Mr. Li, I think they have a strong desire to order a ship, why not keep them? If we can win this order, our factory can also have more A lot of money!"

"If I can, I would also like to take their order. But the problem is, I can't make a big mistake! A director called me earlier and told me not to accept his order. Do you think I can not listen to the director's words? ?”

"But it's their first time in Singapore, so there shouldn't be any conflicts with the directors, right?"

"You ask me, who am I to ask! Forget it, the most important thing is to keep our jobs. Once an order is gone, it will be gone."

Leaving aside such an involuntary remark, Mr. Li, who is in charge of the shipyard's undertaking business, can only abandon this order that is likely to be negotiated.As for why he refused to pick it up, in fact, he is also confused!
After returning to the hotel, Xu Haibao did not expect such a change in the itinerary.Hearing Tang Xingyou's suggestion to return to China, Xu Haibao shook his head and said, "Don't worry about returning to China, I really want to know who is behind the scenes!"

"Could it be the people from Xiangjiang?"

Regarding Tang Xingyou's doubts, Xu Haibao said noncommittally: "It's too early to draw conclusions! However, your suspicions are not completely unreasonable. This shipyard does have a British-funded background, and it is very likely that it will not accept our order.

It's just that any smart person shouldn't be so stupid to push the door-to-door business out, right?If it was really done by those people in Xiangjiang, I can only say that it is really boring to have such an opponent! "

But in his heart, Xu Haibao really didn't expect that he has been keeping a low profile since he retired from the army, and this is the first time he has come to Xinjiapo.The objects of enmity are very limited, except for the general manager of the auction, he really can't think of anyone else.

Xu Haibao who wanted to understand this quickly said: "Tiger Shark, call Albatross and post the photos you secretly took of those secret meetings with foreign devils on the Internet. Let's do another wave of public opinion offensive and test the reaction there!"

"Yes! But in this way, they should suspect us!"

"It doesn't matter! Since they are unwilling to give up, let's compare their respective methods. I want to see how much power an auction house's general manager and a salvage company's person in charge have!"

As a human being in two lifetimes, Xu Haibao lived a little cautiously.In this life, he didn't provoke others, but others provoked him again and again.This made Xu Haibao very angry, and felt that it was necessary to teach the other party a deep enough lesson.

Under Xu Haibao's instruction, the 'Albatross' who was still staying in Xiangjiang soon released a second wave of inside information about the pirated shipwreck.As the person in charge of Sobifu Xiangjiang Branch, Benson's popularity is naturally not low.

When netizens who followed this matter learned that this matter was also related to the person in charge of the auction house, public opinion quickly pointed at Benson who was hiding behind the scenes.The police responsible for investigating the matter quickly summoned him.

Facing the police subpoena, Benson said angrily, "Just based on a few photos, you suspect that this matter is related to me. Your police's conclusion is too hasty, right? Let me emphasize again, I and I Lauren is just a friend."

For Benson's non-cooperation, the police, without conclusive evidence, could not implement a detention policy for him.But the media reporters who had just walked out of the police station and waited outside did not let go of the general manager who was denounced by netizens.

"Mr. Benson, can you tell me what is the relationship between you and the sea lion salvage team stealing the sunken ship? This time the sea lion salvage ship stole the sunken ship without permission. Was it you who planned it behind the scenes?"

Hearing the reporter's questioning, Benson said angrily: "You are a reporter from that newspaper, how can you say slanderous words at will. If I have something to do with this incident, do you think I will get out of the police station so easily? "

"But how do you explain those photos on the Internet?"

"Is there anything to explain! Lauren and I are friends. He came to Xiangjiang for temporary supplies. Is there any problem if I meet with my friend? What you should care about now is the person who took the sneak shot. He violated my right to privacy! "

After having a verbal fight with the reporter, Benson knew that once this wave of public opinion came out, his reputation in Xiangjiang would be greatly compromised.Even the headquarters of the auction house will make a corresponding decision to transfer him from his current position.

Thinking of such consequences, Benson was indeed very angry and worried.After returning to his residence, he received a call from Xinjiapo, and Benson quickly realized that this was Xu Haibao's revenge.

"Damn it! I just said, Lauren and the others were arrested, they must have framed them!"

Regarding Benson's anger and inference, the lawyer representing the lawsuit said directly: "Benson, according to what we have learned so far, when Lauren and the others were arrested by the police, the other party did not leave the place of residence."

"Behind him, there must be a secret team that we don't know about! Damn it, I will definitely not let him have a good time!"

Seeing Benson uttering the last sentence with a gritted expression on his face, the lawyer representing him in legal affairs knew to some extent that Benson had a ruthless side.As for Lauren, who is still in custody, she is not a good bird.

After sending the lawyer away, Benson made another secret call.After some bargaining, he finally said with a sneer on his face: "Those who offend me will not end well!"

On the other hand, Xu Haibao, who is far away in Singapore at the moment, is also getting in touch with the attorney Zhao Jinyan.According to the earlier commissioned auction agreement, Xu Haibao planned to withdraw the auction commission for the batch of gold and silver coins on the grounds that the auction house defaulted on the contract.

After hearing Xu Haibao's proposal, Zhao Jinyan thought for a while and said, "Haibao, we need evidence! If there is no evidence, we want to withdraw the commission agreement. You need to pay a lot of liquidated damages, you should know this?"

"If there is evidence to prove that Benson sent people to follow and monitor me, can I cancel the auction agreement?"

"If there is evidence, it is indeed possible!"

"Okay, then I know! I will contact you when there is news!"

Xu Haibao, who understood that it was impossible to solve these troubles and wanted to do something serious, soon asked someone to book a return ticket to Xiangjiang.For Xu Haibao's decision, Tang Xingyou and others were also very surprised.

But the trip to the shipyard in the morning really made them feel a little angry.Originally, he wanted to send an order to the shipyard in Singapore, but he was left out in the cold.Since the shipyards in Singapore are not friendly, wouldn’t it be better to place orders with domestic shipyards?
