Codename Doctor, Moved to Hong Kong

Chapter 92 Second-rate Dealer
After getting off the cruise ship, Zhang Chaoyang looked around. This city was both familiar and unfamiliar to him. The original owner had been here before and stayed here for a long time, but for him, it was the first time.

Zhang Chaoyang walked through the bustling crowd and came to a public telephone booth not far away.

I dialed the phone number provided by McIntosh, feeling nervous but also full of anticipation.

A woman's formal voice came from the other end of the phone, "This is Walker Shipping Company. Who are you looking for?"

Zhang Chaoyang said loudly: "I'm looking for Mr. Beckas Walker. I'm from Hong Kong. Mr. MacIntosh introduced me to buy a boat."

After introducing himself, there was silence on the other end of the phone. After a while, a man's voice rang out, "Hello, are you Mr. Zhang?"

"Yes, it's me." Zhang Chaoyang replied.

"Have you arrived in London?" the man continued.

"Yes, I'm at the Port of London now." Zhang Chaoyang replied, and couldn't help but look around at the surrounding scenery.

"Our company is near the Port of London. You can just take a taxi here." The man on the other end of the phone said and gave an address.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Chaoyang frowned slightly.

He felt as if he was looked down upon by the other party, as he was actually asked to take a taxi there by himself.

However, he did not care too much about it. After all, he came to London to buy a ship, not to save face.

He gestured to Xu Jie to find a car, and the group went to Walker Shipping Company according to the address.

Along the way, Zhang Chaoyang looked at the buildings and scenery passing by outside the window. London and New York gave people completely different feelings. Although New York was not an emerging city, it was full of vigor and vitality, while London felt old and a bit lifeless.

Soon, Zhang Chaoyang and his party arrived at Walker Shipping Company. This office building is located not far from the Port of London and looks solemn and grand.

Although the appearance gave a good impression, Zhang Chaoyang still had some doubts in his heart, worrying that the person introduced by Mai Jingtao was just a middleman.

Zhang Chaoyang led everyone into the office building. After introducing himself, he was quickly and respectfully invited into the reception room.

After a while, a middle-aged short white man walked in.

He had a smile on his face that seemed friendly but revealed arrogance. He glanced around the reception room and finally stopped on Zhang Chaoyang.

"Mr. Zhang, welcome!" He extended his hand and said in slightly stiff Chinese, "I am Beckas Walker."

Zhang Chaoyang stood up, smiled faintly and shook hands with Walker, "Hello, Mr. Walker.

I believe Mr. McIntosh has already mentioned my purpose to you.

The main reason I came here this time was to buy the Victory and Liberty ships."

After Beckas Walker invited Zhang Chaoyang to sit down, he got straight to the point: "Our company does have some stocks of Victory and Liberty.

However, I would like to know what specific requirements Mr. Zhang has for the vessel? For example, the condition of the vessel, its age, carrying capacity, etc. "

Zhang Chaoyang told Walker his requirements for the ship in detail.

Walker nodded and turned to the female secretary beside him and said, "Kelly, go get the relevant information about the Victory and Liberty ships."

Kelly is a woman in her thirties, well-dressed and capable.

She nodded slightly, quickly stood up and left the reception room.

While waiting, Walker chatted with Zhang Chaoyang for a few words, trying to find out the relationship between Zhang Chaoyang and Mai Jingtao. Zhang Chaoyang responded with a smile, but did not say the relationship between him and Mai Jingtao, only saying that they were friends and knew that Zhang Chaoyang wanted to buy a big ship, so he introduced him to him.

After a while, Kelly came back with a thick folder.

She placed the information on the table and introduced the details of each ship to Zhang Chaoyang one by one.

Through this meeting, Zhang Chaoyang gained a deeper understanding of Walker Shipping Company and saw the company's professionalism and strength in ship sales.

At the same time, it also confirmed his previous guess that this was a ship brokerage company.

Unlike Hilton Shipping Company, Hilton Shipping Company buys old ships at low prices, repairs and maintains them, and then sells them to customers.

Walker Shipping Company, on the other hand, served shipping companies like Hilton Shipping Company, helping them find customers, but it did not own any ships of its own.

"Mr. Walker, I want all five Victory ships, and I also want these Liberty ships. How much do they cost?" After listening to the introduction, Zhang Chaoyang asked directly.

"The Victory is three hundred and fifty thousand pounds, and the Liberty is one hundred and fifty thousand pounds." Walker quickly quoted a price.

"Mr. Walker, your offer is too high. I just bought fifty of the same ships in New York.

I came to London because I promised McIntosh that if this is the price, then I'm sorry.

Our deal cannot be concluded." Zhang Chaoyang leaned back on the sofa and shook his head slowly.

"Mr. Zhang, the condition of each ship is different, its purpose is different, and its price is also different. The ships of our company are in the best condition.

Our ships have been sailing normally before, and have a perfect record in terms of quality, performance and maintenance.”

“Mr. Walker, I understand what you are talking about. I bought the boat in New York, and the shipping company provided free repairs and maintenance.

Moreover, before I accepted it, I hired a third-party testing company to conduct rigorous testing.

So, what you said cannot be the reason for the price to be so much higher." Zhang Chaoyang shook his head.

According to Walker's quotation, converted into US dollars, a Victory ship would cost 980,000 US dollars, which was nearly 200,000 US dollars more expensive than the one he bought before.

Only Zhang Chaoyang would be stupid to buy his boat.

"How much does Mr. Zhang think is appropriate?"

"The Victory is 280,000, and the Liberty is 130,000." Zhang Chaoyang directly quoted a price.

"Mr. Zhang, this is impossible. I can't offer you this price. The best I can give you is a discount of 5,000 pounds," Walker explained.

Zhang Chaoyang didn't say anything, just shook his head.

"Mr. Zhang, let me talk to the ship owner and see what the lowest price is." Walker quoted a few more prices, but Zhang Chaoyang shook his head to indicate that he did not accept them. Finally, Walker said helplessly.

"Sure, I'm staying on the Crystal Palace cruise ship at the London Port Cruise Terminal. If the price meets my requirements, Mr. Walker can come see me." After Zhang Chaoyang finished speaking, he got up and left.

Zhang Chaoyang no longer has any hope for this business.

After leaving Walker Shipping Company, Zhang Chaoyang did not call a taxi, but took Xu Jie and others to the streets of London.

After walking for a while, Zhang Chaoyang saw a public telephone booth, walked over, and made a phone call.
