Chapter 262 Returning from Overseas
The most precious jewel in the crown of Norwegian shipping magnate John Frederiksen is Zhuoer Shipyard.
Since he has the title of shipping king and has entered the list of top 100 richest people in the world, he is certainly not an ordinary person. Zhuoer Shipyard not only has many shipping trades, but also owns many oil exploration platforms and is also involved in the field of resources.
Since they can afford to play with something like oil, you can imagine how wild their ways are.
At present, this shipping tycoon is still at the peak of his career, so his reputation is naturally good.
Because they did not anticipate from the beginning that the other party was going to break the contract, DSIC was completely unprepared and did not even take effective precautions in the contract.
Let Zhuoer Shipyard designate the jurisdiction when a conflict arises between the two parties.
That is to say, if there is a conflict between the two parties, they need to go to Norway for arbitration.
When it comes to Norway, many people's first impression may be salmon.
But in fact, Norway has another very famous thing, that is the 'Nobel Peace Prize'.
Think about those scary "Peace Prize" winners, and you will naturally know what Norway is like.
"I checked and found that Daewoo Shipbuilding in South Korea was also deceived and took over his order worth 1 billion US dollars."
Obviously, this is what the shipping magnate wants to do in one go. Since he is overdrawing his reputation to exchange for money, he will maximize the benefits.
As for why Lin Shiqin directly judged the purpose of the Norwegian shipping magnate, it was because she noticed that the other party had transferred his property in advance and arranged for his subordinates to set up some related subsidiaries.
After combining these data and information, it is actually very easy to understand his steps and purpose.
The first is that both sides have large orders spanning several years, but he only paid a 10% deposit and required a one-time delivery.
When both sides were almost done, they said the order was cancelled before delivery.
In this way, the two factories that had advanced a large amount of funds and even manufactured with debt would immediately be heavily in debt. When the time came, he would go bankrupt and reorganize to avoid paying the penalty, and then use his subsidiaries to acquire the factories at the lowest price. No matter how he operated, he could make huge profits.
They can even rely on the advantage of the designated jurisdiction in the contract to continue fighting in Norway and consume the energy of the two heavily indebted factories.
If you can drag it out until you go bankrupt, that would be even better! You can also sue them, saying that they failed to deliver on time and caused you to suffer huge losses, and then demand compensation for breach of contract!
Yes, this is the Western "spirit of contract", and it has always been played out this way.
One of the famous things he did in the past was that he tricked Ermao into dismantling an aircraft carrier and selling it as scrap steel. He completely fooled him, but Ermao actually didn't seem to be very smart. He only cared about food and not about punishment.
It can be said that they are even too lazy to change this routine and just copy the template, but they still succeed frequently.
After all, it's still too naive...
While thinking about his problems, Wang Yi followed a few people into the elevator at the underground parking lot and went directly to Qian Yayan's parents' home.
A two-story duplex, two to three hundred square meters.
This would definitely be considered a luxury house in any third or fourth tier city, let alone in Shanghai where every inch of land is valuable.
There are very few residential communities with such large apartments in Shanghai, because small apartments are usually easier to sell, and it is difficult for ordinary people to come up with so much money at once.
It can be seen that the residents of this community are all wealthy.
The door was not closed but opened directly. As soon as Gu Nan appeared, he was immediately greeted with a warm welcome.
"Xiao Gu is here. I heard from Qian that you've been very busy lately, so I specially cooked an old hen and abalone soup for you. It's a local chicken from the countryside, which is very rare. You don't need to change your shoes, just come in."
Then Wang Yi also saw Qian Yayan's mother. She was in good shape and lived a life of luxury. She looked to be in her early forties, and apart from a few crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, she didn't look old at all.
"Mom, there's no need to be so polite. Xiaoyan also brought Xiaowang here today. This is their first visit."
Gu Nan was quite righteous. At this time, Qian Yayan also came in with gifts.
But as soon as she entered the door and was about to put down the gift, she was scolded by her mother.
"Stop! Who let you in? Well, I raised you up so young and you never told your family anything. I'm so pissed."
This made Qian Yayan roll her eyes and said unhappily
"Mom, it doesn't matter if you're ignorant, just don't embarrass yourself, Wang Yi has worked so hard..."
But before Qian Yayan could finish her words, she was interrupted by another voice.
"Oh, A-Yan is becoming more and more attractive. I haven't seen him for a few years. This is your brother Liu Ming. He just came back from abroad."
The person who spoke was an old man, but he was probably not Qian Yayan's father. He was dressed neatly and pointed with a smile on his face at a young man in a casual suit sitting on the sofa in the living room.
The young man was also amazed when he saw Qian Yayan, and he stood up and greeted her with a smile.
"Xiao Yan, I haven't seen you for almost ten years. I didn't expect you to be so beautiful."
"Uncle Liu, Brother Liu Ming..., hey~"
Qian Yayan also felt a little helpless at this time. After turning around and seeing Wang Yi eating the melon with relish, she was speechless.
Maybe she understood what was going on.
Uncle Liu was an old classmate of her father. Her family had mentioned Uncle Liu's family situation several times, but she didn't really care much about it.
Liu Bo's family is also a genuine native of Shanghai, but it certainly cannot be compared with my brother-in-law Gu Nan's family. It is better than my own family, but not much better.
And his son Liu Ming seems to be studying abroad at Pennsylvania State University.
State University is a public university. Although it is also a top university, it is generally inferior to the Ivy League University of Pennsylvania. However, being able to get in is considered quite capable.
But Qian Yayan knew her parents' personalities. If that was the case, they wouldn't have called someone to 'slap her in the face' when she said she would go home today. Something must have happened again.
"Don't mind it, Xiao Wang, come in and sit down, and Xiao Yan too."
Gu Nan generously pulled Wang Yi up, and then Qian Yaqian also pushed her sister.
Obviously they still stand on the side of "Xiao Wang" brought back by Qian Yayan herself.
Considering Gu Nan's status in the Qian family, Qian's mother would certainly not be able to say anything.
He didn't specifically ask for Yin Yang Wang Yi, and even found him a pair of shoes, but he was scolding Qian Yayan.
"Look at you, you stupid girl, you don't study hard . Liu Ming made tens of millions of dollars when he was studying, but you only know how to spend money and always say that your living expenses are not enough."
This made Wang Yi feel a little embarrassed. He remembered that when they were dating, Qian Yayan paid for the hotel rooms. She also paid for breakfast and other things on weekdays. She also bought clothes for him. It seemed normal that it was not enough.
But being able to earn tens of millions of dollars while studying? This is quite capable, beating 99.9% of your peers. Many of the current bigwigs didn't make that much money when they were studying.
It is obvious that the energy in his family cannot help him who is studying in Da Piaoliang. He just looks a little impetuous and a little bit unlike others.
After hearing what Qian's mother said, Liu Ming was obviously still a little proud, but he still pretended to be reserved and modest and said
"It's nothing, actually. It's just a coincidence, a little accurate vision, and a little good luck that I can earn this little."
The words uttered with a few words of English made it even more rare.
In fact, even Gu Nan was quite surprised. His family was well-off and his own income was also high, but after tax it was only a little over 10 million yuan a year, which was really a big difference.
To have earned tens of millions of dollars at such a young age is indeed quite capable. He couldn't help but be surprised.
"To be able to earn tens of millions of dollars while studying is a very outstanding achievement, and it's not something that can be achieved by luck. Okay, can you tell me more about it?"
Gu Nan sat on the sofa and asked curiously, while at the same time feeling a little sorry for Wang Yi in his heart.
He knew his father-in-law and mother-in-law's personalities very well. If Liu Ming was just generally good, he could definitely help to block the situation. But if he was better than himself, then what he said would have limited effect.
“Hey, Brother Gu, you’re too polite. There’s nothing to hide. It’s just some Bitcoin investment. As long as you have a good vision and enter the market early, there are still many opportunities. Now that I have some spare money, I plan to use some of it to make some real estate investments…”
Liu Ming's leisurely conversation made Wang Yi, who was standing next to him, suddenly realize something. No wonder, it turned out to be Bitcoin.
Indeed, in the wild era of Bitcoin, it should be one of the best ways for people like him with limited starting capital to make money quickly.
Wang Yi also considered it when he just returned, but gave up after understanding the situation at the time. Bitcoin was at its highest level in recent years last year. After various statements came out at the end of last year, the Bitcoin market suffered a considerable blow.
Due to the influence of policies of various countries, the market will actually fall for a while from now to next year, unless capital intervenes to push it up.
This guy has a good short-term vision and analysis, and knows how to take advantage of the opportunity to invest part of his money in the real economy.
And being able to get out of this unscathed, without being involved in money laundering or anything else, is already very rare, it's the kind of thing where you seize the opportunity...
