Rebirth of the Evil Life
Chapter 3520: Dispute over Shipyard Orders
When US Secretary of State Rice, relying on a woman's intuition, launched an investigation into Lin Feng's recent whereabouts, Lin Feng left Italy. M
Although Bernardo's life has been difficult recently and he is wanted across Italy, but with Lin Feng's $100,000 funding and regaining his position as the godfather of the Mafia, his life is far better than before. He didn't go anywhere but in Sicily. But the police did not know where he was hiding in Sicily.
Although the military also went to Sicily, Italian law cannot allow the military to conduct house-to-house searches in Sicily. With money opening the way, Bernardo spent every day living and drinking, enjoying champagne, fine wine and beautiful women, and his life was very uncomfortable.
Therefore, when Lin Feng contacted him and agreed that this matter had nothing to do with Berlusconi and that Berlusconi should not be involved, Bernardo agreed. For him, he is not interested in working with Berlusconi at all. He hates this playboy-like prime minister. Naturally, he would not use this incident to threaten Berlusconi. This time he was fulfilling Lin Feng's promise, rather than doing things for Berlusconi. It's just that while he helped Lin Feng fulfill a promise, he also avenged himself.
"Mr. Lin, don't worry, thieves have their ways. Our mafia is not the kind of street gangsters who will go back on their word. We have our own disciplines. Since I have accepted your funding, I promise to help you complete three things. Then as long as I Within the scope of my ability, I will never shirk, and no matter what the final success or failure, I will not leak the secret to any party!" Bernardo said frankly, "Without these disciplines, our mafia would not have developed so far, allowing the government to think about it! It wants to be eliminated, but it has never been eliminated.”
After receiving Bernardo's affirmative reply, Lin Feng returned to Shanghai. Now that the EU and Libya have reached a friendly cooperation agreement, it is time for us to send workers to Russia and Libya.
After Lin Feng arrived in Shanghai, a total of 200,000 workers from Chinese construction companies embarked on a journey to Libya and Russia by plane and train. Among them, there are 50,000 workers in Russia and 150,000 workers in Libya. within the next five years. Roads will be renovated and various modern civil infrastructure facilities will be renovated in Russia. In Libya, two railways will be built, one horizontal and one vertical, running through Libya to make Libya and African countries more closely connected. A modern hospital will be built and telecommunications cable facilities will be laid across the country. Making Libya the first country in Africa where the entire country can join the Internet.
Of course, neither Russia nor Libya. They will not directly pay US dollars for settlement, but will use their respective abundant resources for settlement. Oil, natural gas, and various ores will be the reward they use to pay for this major construction. Lin Feng then sells these resources and converts them into cash. Come and pay wages to these 200,000 workers.
"Boss, we are at a real disadvantage!" Lin Chiling said with a frown.
"Well, usually this is settlement funds,
As a result, what we receive are all kinds of resources, which we then need to sell, convert into US dollars, and then settle wages with workers. And this is settled every three months. This is not cost-effective! "Natalie also frowned.*/.//*
Melissa, a former French female anchor, raised her pen and looked at Lin Feng. I want to see what Lin Feng says. In his opinion, this is indeed very uneconomical.
Lin Feng laughed.
"It's a bit of a loss. Otherwise, these two countries wouldn't come to me, right!" Lin Feng chuckled, "Of course, I don't have any direct financial losses. Both countries will give me a little commission, and I never have to worry about buying these resources. Home. It is always beneficial to be able to sell President Putin and President Gaddafi a favor.”
"But where did we get so many boats?" Lin Chiling asked with a frown.
These ores, oil, and natural gas all require tankers to be transported, and neither Russia nor Libya can provide tankers. This must be solved by Lin Feng. Of course, Lin Feng can rent oil tankers, such as the oil tanker company owned by former world shipping king Pao Yugang. Although with the death of Bao Yugang, the Bao family no longer enjoys the title of world shipping king, the Bao family still owns the world's top shipping company. Fleet of five. With the friendly relationship between the two parties, it is indeed possible to borrow enough ships.
"Buy!" Lin Feng said word by word.
"Ah!? Buy!?" Everyone exclaimed.
Buying a boat? This is not wrong! How is it possible to buy a ship? It’s just to transport some ore. Buying a ship is a bit exaggerated. The contract period is only five years. In order to transport ore for five years, Lin Feng bought a ship. No matter how you think about it, I think this is a bit exaggerated. To use a popular Internet term, it’s a little bit awkward!
Lin Feng did not explain much about the dumbfounded expressions of the girls. He is the boss and does not need to explain too much like Lin Chiling and others. They just need to carry out their orders.
As for why you want to buy a ship, it is actually based on two considerations. First, China's current domestic shipbuilding industry has serious overcapacity. In the past two years, due to the increase in ore prices, the shipping industry has also increased. At present, the ships in the global energy ore transportation industry are mainly in the hands of Japan's Mitsui Consortium.
China first paid a high price to buy energy ores controlled by Japan's Mitsui and other consortiums, and then was designated to hire the Mitsui Consortium's ship logistics and transportation. Naturally, the price was high again. If you don’t pay a high price, they won’t give it away. After learning from the painful experience, the country called for vigorous development of the shipbuilding industry. As a result, the shipbuilding industry has been vigorously developed in various places, and several provinces have launched large-scale shipyards for 10,000-ton cargo ships. As a result, there was suddenly overcapacity.
There are so many shipyards, but there are not enough orders. If these hundreds of billions are thrown in, if they cannot produce, it will be in vain. Therefore, Lin Feng decided to help these shipyards and place a few orders to do the work for them. Although it cannot completely solve the overcapacity crisis, it can at least make up for the shortfall, right?
Of course, just because of this, Lin Feng wouldn't really go out of his way to buy a boat. It's really not cost-effective. The focus is still on Lin Feng’s second reason. Mineral energy, Lin Feng will be able to obtain more and more mineral energy, and these will definitely require 10,000-ton cargo ships to transport. Rather than always relying on others to transport your goods, it is better to set up a freight shipping company yourself. This is not only more convenient, but also more concealed when transporting some special products.
As for which shipyard to choose, Lin Feng actually didn't have to go find it. Regarding the current overcapacity in China's shipbuilding industry, Lin Feng directly issued a slogan to the outside world, announcing that he wanted to buy ships to transport ore, oil and natural gas. General managers of China's top ten shipyards swarmed in. There is now excess capacity. Now Lin Fenghao has said that he will purchase at least 10 10,000-ton cargo ships. Who wouldn’t grab such a big order?
Not only the general managers of these shipyards came, but also the provincial leaders from the places behind them who wanted to grab orders. Yes, it is the provincial leader. The buyer this time is Lin Feng. Ordinary city leaders are not enough to see it. It must be a provincial leader. And it must be at least at the level of deputy governor in charge of the economy. Any lower than that, and it’s not good enough. That was contempt for Lin Feng.
As a result, when so many people arrived, Shanghai became a little panicked. Originally, there was a shipyard in Shanghai, one of the best in the country. It's called Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. This time, the Shanghai Shipyard also sent someone at the general manager level to seek orders without notifying the city government. In their view, Lin Feng is now considered a Shanghainese, and he is the pride of Shanghai. For such a large order, Shanghai should at least take the lion's share, not to mention the Shanghai shipyard alone.
But now the provincial leaders of these provinces are coming. Shanghai Shipyard can't stand it anymore. In case this order is taken away by other provinces. That's it. We already had overcapacity, but we finally got a big order. It's so close to the water tower. If someone robs me of this, how can I feel so good? At the moment, without saying much, he immediately went to see Secretary Wang.
Secretary Wang became anxious when he heard this. The selling price of this 10,000-ton cargo ship is generally around US$30.5 million. According to domestic prices, that is more than 200 million yuan. This time and again, that is a GDP of more than 500 million. If Lin Feng orders ten ships, it will be a GDP of more than 5 billion. Although more than 5 billion GDP is nothing to Shanghai as a whole, after all, Shanghai's GDP last year was 912.5 billion yuan.
The GDP of more than 5 billion only accounts for 0.54% of the total GDP. This doesn't sound like a lot, but when you think about it, just one shipyard can increase GDP by 0.54%, which is pretty good. Especially when the shipyard is still in a stage of severe overcapacity and losses, let alone that. Moreover, this will also drive the development of related industrial chains. After calculation, its production capacity will be far more than 5 billion.
Rob! It must be snatched back.
"Ah, Mr. Lin, are you free tonight? I'll treat you to dinner!" Secretary Wang called Lin Feng immediately. Compared with those at the provincial governor level from other provinces, his biggest advantage is that he has Lin Feng's phone number and can contact Lin Feng at any time. He believed that he could treat Lin Feng to a meal, say good things, and give him some preferential policies, and then the order would be completed. After all, Shanghai is Lin Feng’s home.
Although Lin Feng’s hometown is not in Shanghai, up to now, everyone in Shanghai doesn’t think that Lin Feng is a Shanghainese! And all this time, the governments at all levels in Shanghai have taken great care of Lin Feng. They give people to others when they need them, and give them land when they need it. This relationship has long been extraordinary. Therefore, Secretary Wang believes that this matter should be a piece of cake.
But what Secretary Wang didn't expect was that Lin Feng politely declined Secretary Wang's invitation. At this moment, Secretary Wang was anxious.
"Mr. Lin, we are all old friends. Although Shanghai is not your hometown, I have always regarded you as a hometown person. In Shanghai, everyone regards you as a city hero. You are the pride of all us Shanghainese. . The whole city is proud of you! Mr. Lin, you can't let the people of Shanghai down. This time, the Shanghai Shipyard is very sincere in doing this business. You also know that if they have overcapacity, they can't take it. This order is a very heavy blow to the entire shipyard. It may even affect their future plans, and I may even say that there may be layoffs. After all, the competition is too great. You are the pride of Shanghai, and this time you are also the savior of the shipyard. You can't ignore it!" Secretary Wang said with tears and runny eyes. It seemed that if Lin Feng didn't give this order, the shipyard would go bankrupt.
Lin Feng smiled. Secretary Wang is fooling himself. Even if the Shanghai shipyard has overcapacity, it still has orders. What's more, when I didn't want to buy a boat, didn't it come over too? As for being surrounded by dangers like this?
"Secretary Wang, don't worry. I, Lin Feng, am not an ungrateful person, and I will definitely take care of you when I need to take care of you. However, for now, I also have to meet with representatives from shipyards in other provinces, don't you think so? This person has come all the way, and it would be outrageous and offending if I didn't even see him. You should also know that my business has begun to spread all over the country and is related to all provinces. I can't just leave him alone. They are all offended, don't you think so?" Lin Feng said with a smile.
Secretary Wang knew not to expect to get orders today. I could only sigh, say a few words of personal concern, and hang up the phone. Of course, he won't give up just yet. He must strive for 0.54% of GDP. An internal meeting was held immediately to discuss how to deal with this situation and obtain this 0.54% GDP.
Later, Lin Feng himself did not show up and asked Lin Chiling and Natalie to meet with representatives from shipyards in each province on his behalf. As for the leaders from various provinces, they should be received by Lin Feng in person. It would be a bit disrespectful to use a secretary to receive this person. People in the officialdom are not like people in the shopping mall, where interests come first. People in the officialdom care most about face. If you ask your secretary to meet them, you will definitely be angry.
Of course, even with Mr. Wen and Mr. Xi standing behind Lin Feng, these leaders did not dare to rush with him. However, there is a saying in China that it is better to offend the king of hell than the devil. The leaders of these provinces did not dare to be in a hurry with him openly, but they had no problem secretly causing some obstacles. Moreover, you can’t rush with them.
Therefore, Lin Feng personally came forward and met with the leaders of nine provinces. They talked freely about how the guests and hosts could have fun, but in the end Lin Feng didn't agree to anything. It made these leaders dumbfounded. But they can't be in a hurry with Lin Feng, and they can't leave yet. If it were to leave, it would definitely be out of the question. Therefore, even if they have done useless work, they can only stay here. Waiting for Lin Feng to reveal the final answer.
As a result, while waiting, the Shanghai government took the initiative. What's the point of praising Lin Feng's great achievements and setting up a plaque for Lin Feng? To make Lin Feng moved, to make Lin Feng embarrassed to give this order to outsiders! (To be continued. Mobile phone users please read here.)
