Chapter 269 This deal can be
In fact, most people would not dare to take over some of the maritime business casually. Are you afraid of pirates? Are you afraid of accidents on the ship?
The Norwegian shipping magnate could have gained such a great reputation today and with all the titles, he couldn’t be a good man!
If it really happens, it will be more difficult to deal with than those houses with twenty-year leases.
But can Umbrella really...
"Who is it! How dare they do that! Who gave them the courage to challenge me in my field?!"
John Fredrickson smashed his beloved teacup in his study after receiving the call.
He thought it was just a formality. All the necessary greetings had been given, and he, as the Norwegian shipping tycoon, had the face to do so.
But I didn’t expect that he would be intercepted!
Directly getting their remote control company out of the game is obviously something they have been waiting for for a long time.
This resulted in his high-quality assets worth more than one billion US dollars being sold at a low price!
Because of my own efforts, no other competitors came to compete, which directly led to no sales at all, only 30% of the products were sold!
Moreover, these are high-quality assets in themselves. He is unwilling to sell them at the same price or even at a premium. Many of them are things that are difficult to exchange for with pure money!
He was really pissed off.
But when he heard it was Umbrella, he immediately calmed down.
The original series of real business war plans were suddenly extinguished in his heart.
Even pirates wouldn't dare take this kind of job!
Even if we can hire him, the cost will be too high!
I can still vividly remember Umbrella’s live broadcast.
He just stole a battery, but he was killed!
That kind of individual soldier's quality and equipment, and that kind of zero-loss clearance.
Even movies don’t dare to be shot like this!
It's too exaggerated.
Although the previous battle records were not broadcast live, just hearing some text descriptions was enough.
Sweeping across the twelve cities of Pakistan in seven days, the financial backer behind the congressman died mysteriously, and Huanuo's CEO and many participants ' turned over a new leaf '!
This is a person who is very reasonable if not provoked, but very unreasonable if provoked.
Although he is known as the Norwegian Shipping King, he really can't compete!
This is true no matter which path, whether it is the normal channel or the 'real channel'!
Do you have money? Yes!
But they are richer!
The cash flow is greater than the total assets.
How can this be compared?
This huge loss almost made him want to burst into tears.
They are all high-quality assets of ours, including various new ships and offshore drilling platforms, as well as some crucial port equity.
It can be said that even if what he has been planning for the past few years is successful, it may not be able to make up for the loss this time!
Money is not omnipotent. The loss of your high-quality assets is related to your own "right to speak"!
"Damn it! Isn't Umbrella not involved in this matter..."
The Norwegian shipping magnate was also having a headache at this time.
Of course he was also surprised by how much Umbrella invested in the shipbuilding industry.
However, through inquiring through channels, it was found that most of the platforms manufactured by Umbrella are engineering platforms.
It is more like a supply platform, industrial platform, maintenance and rescue platform, and also part of a floating dock.
Although there is no apparent commercial value in it, the fact that this kind of thing cannot escape logistics has little impact on him.
There are several exploration platforms, but they don’t seem to be competing with us.
It's really hurtful to see such a sudden move to intercept him.
"You can contact Umbrella and discuss with them to see if they are interested in the exchange?"
In the end, John Fredrickson could only sigh and bear all the losses himself.
Now we have to find a way to exchange the port shares back!
Umbrella itself should mainly want ships and platforms. It has a lot of these and can be replaced...
…
“He took the bait.”
There was a strong wind outside the villa, but inside the villa, it was warm and flowers were blooming.
Wang Yi lazily enjoyed the massage from this group of South Korean succubi, eating the fruits fed to his mouth, feeling extremely corrupt.
The days of the South Korean chaebols were truly filled with a sense of decadence.
On the other side, in the kitchen, Qian Yayan was directing several people who were busy.
If you don’t have good cooking skills, you can make do with the ingredients!
Although it was storming outside, some merchants still delivered the freshest ingredients and some semi-processed products despite the storm.
There are big butter crabs costing two to three thousand yuan per pound, and freshly cut tuna.
Butter crab is a rare mutant individual among blue crabs. An accident occurred during the final molting of an adult crab, which resulted in the crab's claws being filled with crab roe and tasting delicious.
Simply steam it and you can start.
With some elf fruit wine to liven up the atmosphere, it was really comfortable.
Now that I have heard the good news from Lin Shiqin, I naturally feel more relieved.
"We should give him a taste of his own medicine. We will tell him that we agree to the replacement, but he must also agree to our request and complete the relevant modifications to his ships. We have already contacted all the production capacity we can, so let him use his own channels."
"Understood. Anyway, we will pay the deposit."
Lin Shiqin naturally understood what Wang Yi meant. At worst, she would just not take the deposit. She would see who she could sell the boats to after the renovation...
…
"Reform?"
After hearing the information from his subordinates and looking at some related contract samples, John Fredrickson couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
The legal department has confirmed that there is no problem with the contract, and they are also sincere in paying the deposit first.
It is true that due to Umbrella's orders to shipyards, there are not many factories with production capacity now. Most of the remaining ones are old shipyards in Europe. It is normal that Umbrella cannot reach them, and the prices are also relatively expensive.
Perhaps this is their original purpose.
Because John Fredricksen was originally planning to cheat others, and judging by his own experience, he was quite cautious and vigilant about this cooperation.
I also discussed this with my team several times.
Combined with the orders that Umbrella is currently completing at the shipyard, it was finally confirmed that this is indeed what Umbrella wants!
"The deposit they paid reached 60%, which almost solved all the worries of the shipyard. There was no financial pressure at all, so they worked overtime and worked hard. However, we are only willing to pay 10%. Can we increase it a little bit?"
John Fredrickson asked one of his staff members, who specialized in analyzing and researching Umbrella.
After hearing this, the staff slowly shook his head and said
"I'm afraid it's difficult. After all, they only asked us to modify the ship, not to build it. The ship itself is our property. Paying 10% already shows their sincerity. And from what we know so far, Umbrella's previous auction was mainly for the ships in the supporting package. Wouldn't they give them to us all this time so that we can modify them together?
"They bear greater costs and risks themselves. After all, they have no interest in the port's equity. From what we have learned, they do not participate in some of the port's meetings. They just take dividends..."
John Fredrickson heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, they also want to make money. If they tear up the agreement, both sides will suffer losses, and they may even suffer greater losses. No one can resist money."
For now, Umbrella's reputation is still quite good, and it has strong financial resources. It has directly ordered so many new platforms before, so it is not surprising that it would pay attention to the transformation of the old platforms...
