Chapter 010 Homo Sapiens
Hong Kong River, Victoria Harbour.
Li Qingye in the hotel room did not take it lightly.
After all, this is the information age. According to the identity information he retained when he became a naturalized South African, although his face looked older and his skin was much darker, his bone contours had not changed much.
If you appear frequently on the Internet, or even take flights frequently, you may be identified by using Internet technology.
Even with all the confusing and misleading tactics, he still felt uneasy.
But now he has no choice but to use the identity of Zhang Jack for a short period of time, but he needs to keep a low profile as much as possible.
An agency service company in Hong Kong.
Before this, he had to find separate companies to handle many of his businesses, so as to avoid too much information being concentrated in the hands of one agency.
"Mr. Zhang, the aquaculture company you asked us to acquire in Luzon has now found three suitable targets . Here is the relevant information." Business manager Lin Ji introduced to him with a smile.
Li Qingye crossed his legs, had his hair combed back, and wore frameless glasses. He looked no different from a middle-aged man in his thirties.
In fact, due to the side effects of genetic modification, Li Qingye's body is now very old, and his face does look like a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties.
The personality that dominates the body at this time is the third personality "Guan Zhong", which is derived specifically for running a company and handling business affairs.
He looked through the three documents carefully.
"The second goal is abandoned."
"Kame Breeding Company?" Lin Ji nodded immediately.
Li Qingye quickly decided on a target: "The first target is Yada Marine Farming Company, but I need to go and investigate it on the spot."
"No problem, our company will arrange it as soon as possible."
a week later.
After getting off the Manila International Airport, he came to Dart Harbor, a city on the east coast of Luzon Island, under the leadership of Lin Ji and others.
This place faces the Pacific Ocean, and about 200 kilometers to the east is the Luzon Trench.
The boss of Yada Company is an American who wears colorful shorts and has strange tattoos on his arms. He is an old cowboy in his fifties.
"Hello, Paul." Lin Ji hugged the other party, then exchanged a few words and introduced their situations.
Li Qingye asked some questions.
According to the introduction, the Daya Company owns five fishing boats with a total tonnage of about 24,000 tons. In addition, it has an office building in Dart Harbor with five floors and an area of about 3,000 square meters.
In addition, there is a breeding base on the nearby Caragua Islands, which owns the entire island with an area of 17.3 square kilometers.
There are 15 large marine aquaculture farms on the island, and an additional 82 cage farms in the shallow coast of the island.
As for other infrastructure on the island, there are also many.
Of course, the ownership of this island is not permanent. The ownership period is still about 14 years, and it is limited to aquaculture development.
After hearing Paul's asking price, Li Qingye shook his head and said, "It's too expensive. The annual profits of those shrimp farms and pomfret farms are less than 2 million US dollars, and the fishing boats are even at a loss. They are not worth 30 million US dollars."
"No, no, sir, you know, those five fishing boats are worth 35 million US dollars..."
Li Qingye sneered, "Haha, Paul, are you kidding? 35 million US dollars? That's the price of a brand new car. It's been used for many years, isn't there any depreciation fee? And you don't understand the current situation of deep-sea fishing, do you?"
Paul was very shameless: "Those fishing boats are worth at least 20 million."
"Haha, it's worth 5 million at most. Of course, you can choose to send it to a shipbreaking yard for scrapping."
"Uh..." Paul's face darkened. Sending the shipbreaking yard would be asking for trouble, but if they continued, no one might want them even for 1 million, let alone 5 million.
After all, this is an old ship, and fuel consumption and maintenance are a problem. The current downturn in marine fishing is also a big problem. With the depletion of global marine fishery resources, the probability of this kind of medium-sized fishing boat losing all its money every time it goes out to sea is getting higher and higher, otherwise he would not look for someone to take over.
As for the breeding farm, the profit at the end of the year is not much and it can only barely maintain itself.
As he got older, Paul didn't want to continue in Luzon.
"The price is one dollar, 12 million US dollars. If you agree, sign it. If you don't agree, bye." Li Qingye stated directly.
Paul frowned, but he knew the current market conditions. Industries in such remote areas were indeed not worth much, and the price offered by Li Qingye was already the highest among all the interested parties.
Finally, Paul couldn't bear it anymore and sold the entire Daya Company to Li Qingye for US$12 million.
Li Qingye used several offshore companies to cross-hold shares, took over the company, and renamed it Zhiren Company.
The three professional managers he recruited in Hong Kong were responsible for managing the daily affairs of Zhiren Company. These three managers were not very outstanding, just average, and Li Qingye had no choice.
Caragua Islands.
Caragua Island is the largest island in the archipelago, the only island that can be permanently inhabited, and also the island contracted by Dayak Company.
There is a small pier and a breeding base nearby. There is also a staff dormitory building that can accommodate about 120 people. There is also a comprehensive building that houses a staff restaurant, a billiard room, a medical room and a warehouse for daily necessities.
Then there is Paul’s villa, which is a sea view room with a private beach.
In the sea view villa.
Li Qingye summoned three managers, as well as two managers who remained from the previous company.
"I only have one request. You just need to follow my instructions. You don't have to worry about other things. Do you understand?"
"Boss, Paul hasn't received salary for more than two months..." reminded Tashi, the person in charge of the breeding base.
"Immediately reissue it." Li Qingye glanced at the other party, and then began to arrange the positions of the five people: "Jing Lan, as the general manager, will be responsible for the overall operation of the company."
The skinny man with glasses, Li Jinglan, nodded: "No problem."
"Xincheng, you are responsible for financial management."
Fang Xincheng, a somewhat dull middle-aged man, stood up and said, "Yes, boss."
Li Qingye continued to instruct: "Jianxiong, you are responsible for security and logistics management."
The tall and mighty middle-aged man was Chen Jianxiong, who had previously worked in a security company. "Thank you for your trust, boss."
"Zhaxi, you continue to manage the breeding base and cooperate with the general manager's management."
The middle-aged man with dark skin was Tashi who spoke first. He was a native of Luzon.
Li Qingye looked at the last person, a middle-aged man who was nearly fifty years old. "Connan, you are still in charge of the fishing boat, but you don't need to go out to sea for fishing in the near future. Move the boat to the port near Caragua Island and help transport some things. Then adjust the business."
Kang Nan, who is of Chinese descent, did not show any reaction to the change of boss and agreed immediately.
After the others left, Li Qingye gave Chen Jianxiong instructions separately and asked him to recruit a group of security personnel and purchase a batch of guns as soon as possible.
There is no gun ban in Luzon, but you need to apply for a gun license.
Finally, he arranged for General Manager Li Jinglan to purchase a batch of biological laboratory scientific research equipment in the name of the company. He planned to establish an aquaculture laboratory on Caragua Island.
