Resource Tycoon Reborn

In the headquarters building of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Komatsu Heimori was cordially receiving a man named Robert.

Carter's middle-aged white American.

This American named Carter, on behalf of a company registered in the Solomon Islands, came to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to place an order for oil tankers. He asked for six supertankers and twelve Suezmax tankers, but he actually asked the reception staff of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries

I was shocked. The market value of six supertankers and twelve Suezmax tankers is almost more than one billion US dollars! Such a large order is not many for Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. Therefore, Komatsu Heimori personally

Come out to receive this distinguished guest.

Carter was leaning on the sofa, smoking a cigar, watching Komatsu Hiramori's beautiful female secretary walking in quickly, winking at Komatsu Hiramori, and then said impatiently: "

Director Komatsumoto, can you accept this order? If you say no, I will not bother you. I think there are other shipyards in your country that will be happy to complete this order for our company.

"

Komatsu Heimori quickly said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Carter, our Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is the most advanced and largest shipyard in Japan. If you choose us, your company will definitely be satisfied." Although there are already signs of recovery in the shipbuilding industry today.

, but no one dares to say that a new round of shipbuilding boom has arrived.

As far as Komatsu Heimei knows, although shipbuilding companies in Japan, China and South Korea are currently building new ships, most of the new ship orders in hand can only be maintained until this time next year. In one year, for shipbuilding companies

For us, this is not something we can sit back and relax about. You must know that when the shipbuilding industry was at its most prosperous, none of these large shipyards had production orders for more than four or five years!

Therefore, of course, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries cannot let go of this order from Carter.

He just asked his secretary to go to the bank to verify the account situation that Carter said, because Carter actually asked Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to give an accurate reply within three hours to the contract he brought.

To sign or not to sign? Even Komatsu Heimori, who has long been accustomed to communicating with Americans, felt a little uncomfortable with this attitude.

However... since it is certain that the other party has sufficient funds, then none of this is a problem. Rich people are bosses, and rich Americans are even more bosses! Oil tankers are not warships.

There is no issue of export review. As for what the other party is buying it for, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries doesn't have to worry about it. As for the contract brought by Carter, he has also read it briefly, and now it is due.

Give the company's legal experts a detailed analysis of the contract terms to see if there are any pitfalls.

However, Komatsu Heimori has also been an old man in this industry for many years. He feels that there are basically no problems in the contract brought by Carter. The cost of the tanker is also set at a reasonable level. Except for the construction time and breach of contract,

The compensation requirements are a bit high - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries must start construction immediately after completing the several unfinished ships currently on the slipway, and even so, the time is a little tight. Moreover, the other party requires that if Mitsubishi Heavy Industries

If they cannot complete the contract on time with quality and quantity, they will be compensated with a compensation of US$300 million. This compensation is quite severe.

However, under the premise that the other party promises to pay a down payment of US$200 million in advance and guarantees that it will not ask Mitsubishi to delay delivery unless quality problems occur, all of this is not a problem! According to general practice, the ship owner issues a ship order.

A part of the down payment must be paid to the shipbuilding company first, and the balance of the ship's construction is usually settled in four to five installments before the shipbuilding company officially delivers the ship to the owner. For a large order like this, the down payment does not actually need to cover all the ships.

.And for US$200 million, the payment ratio has exceeded past practice.

The guarantee that Mitsubishi will not be required to delay delivery is even more reassuring to Mitsubishi! In fact, delaying delivery is a disguised form of passing on the financial pressure of ship owners to shipbuilding companies. Because shipbuilding companies generally

Shipbuilding operations must be carried out with the support of domestic bank loans. If the ship payment cannot be received in full on time, it means that the loan period from domestic banks must be extended, and then the shipbuilding company will face a substantial increase in interest expenses.

In addition, this will also cause the shipbuilding company's labor costs, material costs and other operating costs to increase. Sometimes, it will even cause the shipbuilding company to suffer losses as a result.

On these two points, Komatsu Heimori has a lot of favorable impressions of this company registered in the Solomon Islands. If this order can be successfully signed, his performance this year will be enough to be commended by Mitsubishi's senior management.

Carter looked at his watch, frowned and said: "I have to remind Minister Komatsumoto that your time is running out. I'm very surprised, then! How come your company's experts took so long to look at a simple and clear contract?

"!

Komatsu Heimori hurriedly comforted him with a smile. In fact, he could think of why the company's legal experts were unable to make up their minds. It was because of the contract that Carter presented. At a glance, there was some hidden contract trap.

No, these legal experts need to take a closer look. The beauty of pie in the sky does not exist in the shipbuilding industry!

Carter waved his hands with a bored look on his face and said: "Minister Komatsu, let me remind you for the last time that your time is running out. If you haven't come up with a complete contract when the clock hands point to three hours, then unless

You forcefully hold me here, and then point a gun at my head and force me to sign this contract. Otherwise, I will leave without hesitation. However, I really hope you do this, because in this way,

You'll get into big trouble for this!"

"Mr. Carter, please rest assured, we will definitely pay attention to the time." Komatsu Hiramori wiped the sweat from his face and said with a smile.

He believed that Carter was definitely not talking nonsense. According to the terms of the contract, as soon as both parties formally signed, US$200 million would be transferred as a down payment on the same day. And a man who could spend more than one billion US dollars to buy so many oil tankers at one time

The Lord is definitely not an easy person to deal with.

While Xiaosong Pingwei was chatting with Carter, he winked at his secretary, who walked out knowingly.

Komatsu Heimori looked at his watch and saw that there were less than forty minutes left! He believed that an agreement would be reached and an agreement would be signed before the three hours ran out. This was a large contract worth more than one billion U.S. dollars.

! Even if Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is Japan's top shipbuilding company, such a contract is not something that can be easily obtained.

Komatsu Heimori was nervous and pleased at the same time. As soon as the contract was officially signed, he would be the hero of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries! By then, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries would be even more proud in front of other Japanese shipbuilding companies!

In fact, how did he know that at this time, all shipbuilding companies in Japan that could manufacture supertankers and Suezmax tankers welcomed a generous non-Japanese major customer almost at the same time?

He opened his mouth with a large order of more than one billion US dollars, and also required that he either signed the contract he brought within three hours, or he found another shipbuilding company. And the contract they brought, the core

The terms can be said to be basically the same.

The managers of these shipbuilding companies were nervous and overjoyed at the same time. On the one hand, they were worried that this was a scam, but on the other hand, they could not find out the problem.

If they want to let go like this, they are naturally unwilling to do so. A deal worth more than one billion US dollars is not a small amount for any shipyard. What's more, they still need a large number of ship orders to stabilize the "military morale." But if they want to

After signing it like this, they were uneasy, fearing that there might be some trap hidden in it that they didn't know about.

But no matter how they checked, they asked legal experts to dig through word by word, word by word, but they couldn't figure out what the problem was in this contract. Unless the raw materials for shipbuilding skyrocketed, or the labor costs skyrocketed, otherwise,

As long as they complete the contract on time, although the time is a bit tight, it is completely within the scope of what they can afford, and there will be no problem. And the other party has clearly marked it on the contract. Once the contract is signed, the shipbuilder can get 200 million

The down payment is US$1.00, and the other party will not ask for delayed delivery. For shipbuilding companies, the conditions are already too favorable.

But no matter what they think, they cannot imagine the possibility that shipbuilding raw materials or labor costs will skyrocket in the past two years.

The managers of these companies racked their brains and tried their best, but could not find the problem. So when the final deadline came, not a single shipbuilding company rejected this order!

Carter walked out of the headquarters building of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, accompanied by Komatsu Heimori's earnest invitation. He declined Komatsu Heimori's repeated invitations, drove away, and headed to the center of Tokyo, where he disappeared on the busiest street in Tokyo. And not long after, Carter

After that, he and thirteen other people appeared at Fang Mingyuan's villa in Tokyo Bay and handed all the contracts into Lin Lian's hands!

"Thank you for your hard work!" Lin Lian signaled to her secretary to collect all the contracts that had been reviewed and said, "Starting from tomorrow, I will give you half a month off. You can go back to your own country. All the expenses on the road will be paid.

All will be reimbursed by the company. After half a month, the company will rearrange your work!"
