Chapter 187 Accidental Rejection
In the headquarters building of Guo's Shipping Group, the employees of Guo's Shipping Group came in and out, all of them showed happy expressions. They also just learned the news that just today, Guo's Shipping Group will
Officially signed with South Korea's Samsung Heavy Industries and Japan's Feldspar Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., the two well-known shipbuilding companies will build an unknown number of supertankers needed by Kuok Shipping Group in the next few years.
At a time when the development prospects of the world economy are not so clear, Kuok's Shipping Group has publicly announced that it will purchase large quantities of supertankers in the future, but it has set a big star in the Hong Kong shipping industry and even the East Asian shipping industry! In many cases,
In people's eyes, this news not only shows that Guo's Shipping Group continues to be optimistic about the future shipping market, but also shows that Guo's Shipping Group's current shipping capacity has been used to its limit. In fact, this is indeed the case.
Due to the large amount of mainland shipping business, whether it is container transportation or crude oil transportation, the shipping capacity of Kuok Shipping Group is currently almost fully utilized. The result of this is that the company has gained huge profits, and the salaries of their employees
Naturally, the rising tide lifts all boats.
Although Hong Kong was not directly affected by the Southeast Asian financial crisis. Whether it was the stock market or the foreign exchange market, Hong Kong tenaciously resisted the attacks of international financial speculators. However, due to the shrinkage of the markets in Southeast Asian countries, Hong Kong's economy has
It has still suffered a considerable negative impact. Although large-scale company closures and unemployment will not occur, it is inevitable to reduce wages and shrink benefits. In this way, Guo's Shipping Group
The happiness of the company's employees has naturally increased dramatically! And now, the company is officially signing contracts with two well-known shipbuilding companies to purchase supertankers, which undoubtedly further proves the company's strength. This makes them, among their friends and relatives,
Naturally, the face in front of me also adds a lot of brightness.
As the clock hand pointed to 9:30 in the morning, Lee Joong-ki, the representative of Samsung Heavy Industries, and Benji Sato, the president of Feldsake Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., appeared in the headquarters building of Kuok Shipping Group.
"Minister Li, congratulations, congratulations to Samsung Heavy Industries for taking the lead this time!" Jin Mingzhe said to Li Jongki in a somewhat sour and angry tone, "I don't know how many ships your company can build this time? It won't be better than Feldspar.
Are there too many shipbuilding companies?" Kim Ming-cheol has been keeping a close eye on Daewoo Shipbuilding Company, fearing that Daewoo Shipbuilding Company, which is facing bankruptcy and liquidation because of its parent company Daewoo Group, will reach a technology transfer agreement with Kuok Shipping Group Co., Ltd. for a quick gain. With the shipbuilding industry
Unlike Japan, which has begun to decline, South Korea's shipbuilding industry is in the ascendant. It is the world's largest shipbuilding country. For Koreans who value face as much as the sky, this crown is the supreme glory they have been looking forward to for many years!
However, the rapid development of China's shipbuilding industry over the years has also made Koreans a little more vigilant. As a crown jewel of the world's shipbuilding industry, if the construction technology of super tankers can be easily obtained by the Chinese, it will not be easy for the Chinese.
The strong manufacturing capabilities, low labor costs, and low investment in environmental protection will in a very short time reduce the profits of supertanker construction to the point where shipbuilding companies in other countries are simply unprofitable.
!As a result, for the Korean shipbuilding industry and Hyundai Heavy Industries, it is obviously not the result they want to see!
They couldn't control Japanese companies, at least they didn't want this technology to be "leaked" from Korean companies. But Jin Mingzhe didn't expect that Daewoo Shipbuilding Company did not sign a contract with Kuok Shipping Group Company, but he thought Samsung was fine.
Heavy Industries signed a contract with Kuok Shipping Group. Now he can only hope that Samsung Heavy Industries has not agreed to transfer technology to Kuok Shipping Group.
"Unfortunately, Feldspar Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. will build at least seven supertankers this time, while our Samsung Heavy Industries only has five." Anyway, it will be officially announced to the media soon, and Lee Joong-ki did not hide it.
"Seven ships? Five ships?" Jin Mingzhe's eyes widened in surprise. The number of ships built by just two companies was already as high as twelve, accounting for more than half of the total seventeen ships! In other words, Guo's Shipping Group Company
There are only five orders for supertankers left in hand! Five orders for supertankers, and there are more than five shipbuilding companies that have been in Hong Kong for many days but have not received any orders. A trace of jealousy and hatred flashed in Jin Mingzhe's eyes.
Even if Hyundai Heavy Industries wins all the remaining orders this time, it will only be on par with Samsung Heavy Industries! This is a failure in itself for Hyundai Group, the well-deserved leading enterprise in the Korean shipbuilding industry!
"Hey, that's not right. Minister Li, didn't Guo Shipping Group Company say that only companies that agree to transfer technology can build more than ten supertankers?" Jin Mingzhe quickly noticed the problem and asked, "
Could it be said that Kuok Shipping Group Company has given up its requirement to transfer construction technology?”
"No, Feldspar Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. has agreed to transfer the supertanker construction technology to Kuok Shipping Group Company!" Lee Joong-ki's answer made Kim Ming-cheol's heart, which had just breathed a sigh of relief, start to worry again!
"Feldspar Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. has already agreed? Didn't it just get an order for seven ships?" Jin Mingzhe said anxiously.
Lee Joong Ki shrugged and made a helpless gesture. Although Kim Mingzhe didn't believe that he really didn't know the inside story, he also understood that the relationship between Hyundai Group and Samsung Group was not that good. Samsung Heavy Industries and Hyundai Heavy Industries
The company is a competitor, so telling himself this is enough to give Lee Joong Ki face.
At this time, on the other side, Komatsu Heimori and others who rushed here in a hurry looked at Benji Sato as if they were looking at traitors and enemies. They already knew that Feldspar Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. had agreed.
There is news that the technology for building supertankers will be transferred to Kuok Shipping Group Co., Ltd. Especially Komatsu Heimori, the anger in his eyes can no longer be concealed! The timing of Feldspar Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.'s stuck is really great! Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Co., Ltd.
Totally caught off guard!
After accepting the domestic order, he was about to take action when Benji Sato took the lead! This was the result of negotiations between Kuok Shipping Group Company and Feldspar Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., and they had nothing to do with the Japanese government.
Naturally, Fang Mingyuan and Guo Tianyu will not accept favors from the Japanese government, let alone ease the tense relationship between the two parties. It is tantamount to letting an opportunity pass in vain!
More importantly, after this news spreads back to the country, how will the top brass of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and the top government view themselves as the executor? They will not care about reasons such as the order coming too late, they just want the results.
!
"I said, Mr. Fang, you can make up your mind on this kind of thing! Anyway, our request is to take down the Mawei Shipyard complete with ships and people!" Guo Tianyu stood in front of the window, holding his mobile phone.
, said loudly, "And as soon as possible! Today we are going to formally sign the technology transfer contract, and you have to speed up the progress!"
Guo Tianyu spoke to Fang Bin on the other side of the phone for a few more words before hanging up the phone. His secretary immediately came up and said in a low voice: "Mr. Guo, Director of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Marine and Shipbuilding Division Komatsu Heimori said.
It’s urgent to see you! I’ve been waiting outside for five minutes!”
"Kosatsu Heimei?" Guo Tianyu showed a look that was indeed the case. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let him come in!"
"Mr. Guo, please pay attention to the time. It is very close to the start time of the signing ceremony!" the secretary reminded in a low voice before going out and ushering in Xiao Songpingmori.
Guo Tianyu sat behind his desk. It wasn't until Komatsu Heimori came closer that he put down the pen in his hand, stood up, stretched out his hand to shake his hand and said, "Hello, Minister Komatsumoto. With all due respect, now I
Time is very tight, and I will soon attend the signing ceremony below. Therefore, I ask for your forgiveness, Minister Komatsumoto, and if you have anything important to say, just tell me!"
Komatsu Heimei also understands that at this time, it is pure nonsense to expect two people to sit down and negotiate slowly, test each other's psychological bottom line, and find the plan that best suits their own interests. Guo Tianyu is not in the mood and
time. So he didn’t say much nonsense, but said bluntly: "Mr. Guo, I urgently asked to see Mr. Guo this time because I received an order from the headquarters of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, authorizing me and your company to build a supertanker.
We are negotiating with you on the transfer of related technologies. This is the negotiation draft sent by our company headquarters. Mr. Guo, you can take a look at it first." With that, Komatsu Heimei handed the folder in his hand to Guo Tianyu.
Guo Tianyu reached out and took it. After reading only a few lines, his eyes widened involuntarily and he looked at Komatsu Pingsheng in disbelief. Did the little devil take the wrong medicine? If according to this negotiation
To sign the agreement, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is simply on the verge of losing money. As long as the raw material market rises slightly, they may fall into losses. Moreover, the transfer price of related technology is also ridiculously low!
"No need to be surprised, Mr. Guo, this is indeed the negotiation draft proposed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. If your company has any other requirements, we can sit down and continue talking." Komatsu Heimei looked at Guo Tianyu's surprised look and thought in his heart
I can't help but feel a little more hopeful. As long as the Kuok Shipping Group Company and Feldspar Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. have not formally signed a contract, anything can happen! There are many precedents for the parties to change their minds before signing a contract.
At the same time, Komatsu Heimori was secretly furious. When this matter was over, he would definitely push the company to acquire Feldsake Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. when he returned to China! Although it was said that the acquisition of Feldspar Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. had not been completed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries for many years.
However, due to various reasons, the acquisition plan has not been going so smoothly, and it can even be said that there has been no progress. Fortunately, this time Feldspar Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. quietly and secretly cooperated with Kuok Shipping Group
The company's agreement has aroused public anger among companies in the Japanese shipbuilding industry. As long as some benefits are given to other shipbuilding companies and everyone gets a share of the pie, other shipbuilding companies will not deliberately stop it.
Guo Tianyu looked at the negotiation draft proposed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in his hand, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. No wonder Fang Mingyuan announced this agreement so quickly. The little devils are really willing to spend money! However, if this one is in
The negotiation draft that would have made him jump with joy half a month ago has now lost much interest in him. Yes, according to this draft, Guo's Shipping Group Company can save an astonishing amount of money.
It’s a fee, but is Guo’s Shipping Group short of money today?
As Fang Mingyuan said, whether it is the shipyards to be built or other industries under the names of the Fang family and the Guo family, there is no shortage of funds. Compared with funds, what they need more is those controlled by these large companies.
Those high-end technologies. Although money is certainly a good thing, in many cases, it does not mean that you can buy the technology you want if you have money! Otherwise, why would Fan Mingyuan rack his brains to get the technology from the Russians?
He was digging out one piece of technology after another, and just spent money to buy it! Although he had not participated in the negotiations between Belevsky and Fang Mingyuan, he could imagine it just by looking at Fang Mingyuan's listless appearance these days.
, the negotiations did not go so smoothly.
What's more, the terms of the agreement reached with Feldspar Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. have already satisfied the board of directors of Guo's Shipping Group Company, and Guo Tianyu does not want to create any further complications. It is up to Fang Mingyuan to figure out how to break this blackmail.
It would be more satisfying!
"Minister Komatsumoto, to be honest, I am very surprised by the draft agreement proposed by your company. This is not in line with the traditional style of your company." Guo Tianyu put the folder on the table, his eyes
Looking directly at Komatsu Taira Morimichi.
Komatsu Heimori's cheeks heated up slightly. The traditional style of Japanese companies in the world is to maximize profit margins. To this end, they have done many things that make business partners very dissatisfied. Faced with such favorable conditions
, no wonder Guo Tianyu raised such a question. After all, many times, behind the beautiful conditions, there is often an abyss that can make people fall into eternal disaster!
"Mr. Guo, this not only expresses the sincerity of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in cooperating with your company, but also represents the good wish of our government that the relations between the two countries will continue to be friendly from generation to generation." Komatsu Heimori solemnly replied, "We are
We sincerely want to promote this cooperation between the two parties!”
Guo Tianyu nodded slightly. As expected, as expected by Fang Mingyuan, this draft agreement should be the price paid by the Japanese government in hoping to make up for the rift in relations with Fang Mingyuan a while ago.
Guo Tianyu picked up the folder and read it again, muttering something in his mouth from time to time, as if he was calculating the pros and cons. But just when Komatsu Heimei thought things were promising, Guo Tianyu took the folder
Putting it on the desk, he sighed and said: "Minister Komatsumoto, we at Kuok Shipping Group are deeply grateful for your company's sincerity. For your government's good wish to maintain friendly relations between the two countries from generation to generation.
, we can also understand. However, our Kuok Shipping Group Company has officially reached an agreement with Feldspar Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. There is an old saying in our country since ancient times, a person cannot stand without trust. In the business world, credit is a company's stability.
The foundation for long-term development, so even though the draft agreement proposed by your company is good, I cannot overturn the resolution passed by the board of directors!"
Komatsu Heishang was surprised. He did not expect that Guo Tianyu would push the fat in his mouth outwards! Based on this draft agreement from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Komatsu Heishang was confident that he would work with Feldspar Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.
Compared with the conditions that can be proposed, Guo's Shipping Group can save one-sixth to one-fifth of its expenses! This is not a small transaction of several thousand or tens of thousands of yuan, a 20% price difference
It's nothing, this is a big deal of more than one billion US dollars, which means that Guo's Shipping Group can save two to three hundred million US dollars in expenses, which is a quite amazing benefit! He doesn't believe it, Guo
Tianyu can't see this. Credit, in modern business society, credit is certainly very important, but in the face of a huge profit output of 200 to 300 million US dollars, how many people can maintain their composure?
"Mr. Guo!" Komatsu Pingsheng jumped up from the sofa.
"Minister Komatsumoto, on behalf of Guo's Shipping Group, I would like to thank your company for this proposal, from which we can also see your sincerity in cooperating with us. However, I can only say that it is fate that makes this decision of your company
It’s too late for this plan! At this point, we, Kuok Shipping Group Company, have no reason to go back! Some people may think that we are stupid and let go of the huge profits we have received, but what we value more is our
Guo's Shipping Group's reputation in the world!" Guo Tianyu said categorically, leaving no room for Komatsu Pingmori to persuade him.
Komatsu Heimori bowed deeply with regret on his face and said: "Mr. Guo, although it is very regrettable that your company refused to cooperate with our company, I have to admit that your company's decision
, received my heartfelt approval! I believe that your company’s future is bright!” In any case, in the business world, people always like to deal with companies with credibility.
"Thank you, Minister Komatsumoto, for the compliment!" Guo Tianyu looked at his watch and said with an apologetic expression, "Director Komatsumoto, it's almost time, shall we go together?"
"Okay! Mr. Guo please!" Komatsu Heimei said with a strong smile. Guo Tianyu had no intention of returning the folder, and Komatsu Heimei didn't mention it at all. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome
