Warship of Great Power

Qin Haiyang's heart was poured with a bucket of cold water.

Although it is not the Seadrill company, it is still a Norwegian company, and it still needs to go to the sea for exploration. Needless to say, it must be the original buyer. Under the manipulation of his father, the other party had to bow his head!

Humph, what's going on?

Besides, if he agreed to their conditions, Xia Yu would have to be the general manager of the company, and Qin Haiyang had already guessed Xia Yu's true intentions. How could he let Xia Yu sit in that position?

"Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin?"

"A good horse never turns back." Qin Haiyang said: "They didn't want it before, and now they come to buy it again. Humph, we won't sell it!"

"Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin, they are not a company."

"It's not okay if it's Norwegian!"

"Mr. Qin, we are doing business, we can't be childish."

Child? I'm about to be eighteen years old! Qin Haiyang was even more angry. You actually said I was a child? However, just when he was about to get angry, he reacted and quickly calmed down.

That's right, we can't lose our temper, and we can't refuse to sell just because the opponent is Norwegian, but...

"Eight drilling platforms, 2 billion US dollars, we only accept full payment, if they want to buy, then come and buy!"

The original order price was 1.6 billion US dollars, and many things happened later. Not only did the Norwegians not pay the balance, but they even sued to get back the down payment they had already paid.

Therefore, Tianchuan Heavy Industry really lost a lot of money! Now, since they want to buy it back, of course they can, but they have to raise the price, not only to make them spit out what they have eaten, but also to make them pay another sum of money!

Don't pay? Then don't want it, just watch others make money every day!

Xia Yu was stunned: "Boss Qin, this..."

"This is our condition. You send an email to them and tell them that our oil drilling platforms are in great demand. If they want to buy them, they will pay at least 2 billion, and they have to decide within a week. If they buy them next week, it will be 2.5 billion US dollars!"

The smile on Xia Yu's face completely froze. Although Boss Qin is still a child, this profiteer's face has been passed down by Boss Qin!

"Go!"

Xia Yu could only smile awkwardly, then walked out, and after closing the door, his face was full of gloom.

Back in the office, Xia Yu turned on the computer, and a dialog box popped up.

How did things go?

Boss Qin was very angry when he heard that a Norwegian company was buying them, and decided not to sell them to you. Later, after my repeated persuasion, he decided to sell them to you, but the price had to be raised to 2 billion US dollars.

This is a joke! We don't have that much money at all!

Sorry, I can only do this much.

Humph, if you can't do this well, don't even think about coming to the European paradise!

Chairman's office

Qin Haiyang looked at the computer screen in front of him. The display on it was exactly the same as Xia Yu's computer, as if it was the same screen.

Humph, it's you! Qin Haiyang's eyes were cold. Are we going to arrest someone now? Of course not! There is no point in arresting now. We have to wait until the Norwegians spend 2 billion US dollars to buy these drilling platforms!

No, 2 billion is not enough. We have to find another way to blackmail them!

Qin Haiyang's mind was working quickly, thinking of one way after another. He must make achievements to show his father.

At this time, Qin Tao was also listening to Xu Zhengyang's introduction.

"Haiyang has discovered that Xia Yu is a traitor and installed screen-peeking software on Xia Yu's computer, but the method is still a little naive. We helped to deal with it again." Xu Zhengyang said: "Also, he raised the price to 2 billion. This is definitely your true teaching."

"My true teaching? What true teaching do I have?" Qin Tao rolled his eyes at Xu Zhengyang: "In your heart, am I that kind of person?"

"What kind of person?" Xu Zhengyang was not afraid and asked Qin Tao back.

"Forget it, the price has been raised to 2 billion, the Norwegians will not easily agree, we must add more firewood to make the fire burn more vigorously."

"Okay."

Norway.

"What a joke, 2 billion, do they really think we have to buy those drilling platforms?" Oryang said: "We would rather go to other shipyards to place orders than let them slaughter us."

"Of course we can go to other shipyards to place orders, but on the one hand, the cycle is too long, on the other hand, due to the contract dispute between us and Tianchuan Heavy Industry, those shipyards will definitely put forward higher requirements, such as 50% or even higher shares. Once a dispute arises, we need to go to the London Court for arbitration." Soltello said.

Everyone knows that their Seadrill company played a trick on the Orientals and almost ruined Tianchuan Heavy Industry. Now if they place an order again, these contract traps will definitely not exist.

If their reputation is ruined, they will not be able to gain a foothold in the international market. Ah San is a role model. When Ah San goes to the East to do business, even if it is not the full payment, he must pay 90% in advance, otherwise no manufacturer is willing to deal with Ah San.

These are all troublesome matters. If possible, it is the easiest to buy from the East.

"Humph, we will not be blackmailed by the Orientals. We would rather spend more money and time than let the Orientals take advantage of us!" Oryang said with great backbone.

At this moment, the phone rang.

"Hello, Adkins, what's wrong?"

"Oil and natural gas futures have been rising recently, and global energy prices have increased by 40%. When will you start construction? We must catch up with this wave of market conditions and make a profit as soon as possible!"

In the past few days, many oil companies have successively announced the shutdown of offshore platforms for maintenance, and international oil and natural gas prices have soared!

A margin of 40% is enough for the energy company to make a fortune, but Equinox can only watch. How is this allowed?

Must earn!

Therefore, Adkins became anxious and called to urge: "How are you doing with purchasing drilling platforms from the East? Hurry, we must hurry up!"

"However, they have raised the price. For eight drilling platforms, they charge us US$2 billion. Isn't this a scam?"

"What's the trap? Oil prices have risen by 40% and will continue to rise. Because we don't have enough oil wells, do you know how much money we are losing every day? At least 20 million US dollars! The price increase is 400 million US dollars. Let's take care of it." Help guarantee, you borrow from the bank, you must buy back the drilling platform as soon as possible, if it is late, the oil price will drop, and our work will be in vain!”

Energy prices have risen by 40%. How is this going against the heavens? This situation will only occur during times of war when oil-producing countries are unable to transport oil! Now, with prices rising, of course energy operating companies have to increase production!

"Okay, let's do it as soon as possible."

Oryang put down the phone and felt that the world was in chaos.

"There may be a trap here. What will happen if the oil price drops when we buy the drilling platform back?" Oryang said, "By then, all the money will have been made by the Easterners!"

"Yes, there may be problems. However, even if the price drops in the future, it will not be a big problem. After our drilling platform is installed, we can still make money by producing crude oil." Sortelo said.

"Yeah, I hope I can still make money." Orjan said: "You have just registered the Norwegian Offshore Exploration Company, so as a legal representative, you can go to the East to negotiate, quickly negotiate for the drilling platform, and then quickly Ship it back."

"Okay." Sortelo nodded.

East, Skyliner Heavy Industries.

"Director Qin, the client has agreed to our request and has come all the way here." Xia Yu has lost patience with tempting Qin Haiyang. Since Qin Haiyang doesn't like this, she will be honest. She still has Fang Fang held a high position and became the general manager of Tianship Heavy Industry. From then on...

"Okay." Qin Haiyang nodded: "On my behalf, go to the airport to greet me."

"Yes. Director Qin, when we are about to arrive, I will call you in advance and you can greet us at our gate."

"No need. When they arrive, just take them directly to the conference room. Arrange for them to enter the conference room and I will go there."

"You won't pick them up in person? They are foreigners and our customers."

"I don't need your advice on what I should do. What's wrong with foreigners? Are they nobler than us Orientals?" Qin Haiyang looked at Xia Yu dissatisfied: "You have to remember that you are an Oriental. , flowing with the blood of the descendants of Yan and Huang!"

"Yes." Xia Yu lowered his head. Sure enough, with different cognitions, there is no common language. Why is it so bad in foreign countries? You are just the son of the boss of Mingzhou Group. If you were in another family, how could you not long for a foreign country?

At the airport, Xia Yu welcomed Sortelo and his three people who came from Norway.

"Mr. Sortello, I have only heard of you before, but I finally saw you today. You are so handsome."

Sortelo is the second-in-command of seadrill company. As long as he can get in touch with him, Xia Yu will have a better future!

However, Sortelo obviously didn't care about her being so courteous. He looked at Xia Yu: "Are you here alone?"

"Yes. And the driver, outside."

"Where's Qin Haiyang?"

"He is waiting for you at the company."

"Humph, this is your Eastern way of hospitality?"

"Mr. Sortello, on the surface they talk about ancient civilizations in the East. In fact, they don't have the slightest courtesy and can't compare with the West. Don't be angry." Xia Yu seemed to have long forgotten which country she was from.

"Hmph, let's go!"

Sortelo has reason to be angry. After all, they are big customers. They came here this time to spend two billion US dollars to purchase eight offshore drilling platforms from Skyliner Heavy Industry. As the father of Party A, they are not allowed to provide supplies wherever they go. ?

What now? The other party only came to greet me with a secretary, which was so rude!

However, he had no other choice. He could not turn around and leave. After all, they urgently needed those offshore drilling platforms, soaring energy prices and huge profits were beckoning to them.

We must complete this transaction as soon as possible and bring the drilling platform back!

Sortelo got into the car and looked at the scenery outside the window, the expression on his face constantly changing.

The car drove directly into Tianchuan Heavy Industry. No one picked them up at the gate. When they arrived at the conference room, no one was waiting for them!

"Where is your person in charge? Does he still have to make us wait?"

"Everyone, wait a minute, I'll call you right away." Xia Yu quickly comforted these people, and then planned to leave in a hurry.

"Wait, take this." Soltero handed an ordinary-looking signature pen to Xia Yu.

"good."

Xia Yu put the pen in her handbag, deliberately opened a hole and walked into Qin Haiyang's office.

"Mr. Qin, the guests have arrived."

"Let them wait first." Qin Haiyang played the simplest minesweeper game in front of the computer screen.

"But... they are our big customers."

"What big customers?" Qin Haiyang said: "They had evil intentions at the beginning and made us sign a contract with traps, forcing Tianchuan Heavy Industry to the brink of bankruptcy, and even took the deposit. Now that the world energy price has risen, they are back again. Why do you want me to welcome them with drums and gongs?"

"But, they are Party A after all, and they still have to spend 2 billion to purchase our drilling platform. You..."

"I just want to force them away. When they come next week, I have to continue to raise the price."

In the conference room, Soltello was wearing headphones, and there was a clear conversation inside. Anger flashed on his face, and then he wanted to stand up and leave, but thinking of the mission, he sat down.

According to the current situation, oil prices have been rising, and they must quickly bring the drilling platform back. If they come again next time, the other party will raise the price again. What should they do then?

The other party just wants to provoke me to leave, I must not listen to him!

"Energy prices are so high now, we can't let them make money too early. Let them leave this time, and when they come back next time, we will tell them that the Arctic route cannot be taken in winter, let them take the ordinary route." Qin Haiyang continued to talk about his ideas.

It is already winter now, of course the Arctic route cannot be taken, we can only take a detour, and it will take a long time to go around.

"Mr. Qin, can the Arctic route be taken in winter?"

"Of course." Qin Haiyang said: "It has been fully connected for a long time, and it can be used in summer and winter. Our Mingzhou Group has nuclear-powered icebreakers. Of course, the old Russians also have them, and there are not a few. Take the recently commissioned Fifty Years Victory, which can maintain a speed of 18 knots to break ice continuously. It opens the way in front and can lead the fleet forward in the back."

Arctic route! Soltelo was extremely excited to hear this.

The Arctic route is the most economical route, especially for Norway. They are close to the North Pole, and taking the conventional route takes a big detour. Taking the Arctic route is simply a direct route!

However, the sailing time is not only related to the distance, but also to the speed. In winter, the Arctic freezes. If you want to take the Arctic route, you have to use an icebreaker.

Ordinary icebreakers drive onto the ice and then crush the ice. They can only travel dozens of nautical miles a day, or even a few nautical miles, which will undoubtedly waste time.

However, the Russian nuclear-powered icebreakers have achieved the ability to move quickly on the ice with their strong power!

"Quick, check the Russian 50 Years of Victory icebreaker!"

There was a wireless signal in the conference room, and the password was on the table. They quickly connected to the Internet and checked it.

The 50 Years of Victory began construction in 1993 and was planned to be launched on the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II, but due to lack of funds, it was delayed for several years before it was put into use.

The ship is 159 meters long, 30 meters wide, has a displacement of 25,000 tons, has two nuclear reactors, and a maximum speed of 21 knots. It can continue to travel on 2.8 meters thick ice at a speed of 18 knots!

As long as you don't drive to the North Pole and only travel along the Arctic route, you will definitely not encounter ice layers above 3 meters, so...

We must buy the drilling platform from here as soon as possible, and then go back via the Arctic route! Soltello made up his mind.

"Let them continue to wait."

Xia Yu was dissatisfied in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face, so she could only withdraw.

Back in the meeting room, Xia Yu looked at Soltello and others: "Sorry, Mr. Qin..."

"It doesn't matter, we can wait." Soltello said: "We've bought it this time!"

Soltello was not angry? Xia Yu looked at the signature pen in her handbag and smiled: "Okay, then everyone wait a moment, I'll make coffee for you."

"Coffee? When you come to the East, you have to taste the best tea in the East."

"Yes, yes." Xia Yu didn't refute, and hurried to make tea, but she was muttering in her heart, what's so good about tea, coffee is enough taste, her favorite thing is to go to Starbucks after get off work and ask for a cup of coffee, only at that time, she will have a sense of satisfaction.

Now...

Xia Yu made tea and chatted with them in the conference room. Every hour, she went to see Qin Haiyang. Just like that, before leaving get off work, Qin Haiyang finally stood up helplessly: "Well, we can't let them come here for nothing. I'll go and see them."

In the conference room, Soltello and others were still drinking tea leisurely. When they saw Qin Haiyang come in, they forced a smile: "Mr. Qin, you are finally here. Young people really have character."

"Everyone, Secretary Xia may not have made it clear when communicating with you. Here, I need to talk about a few detailed terms. If you find it unacceptable, forget it."

Soltello smiled: "Really? Then let's listen to what the terms are. In short, the price can't go up anymore, right? After all, business must be trustworthy."

"First of all, the first clause is that we have to sign a waiver agreement. As long as you buy these drilling platforms, it has nothing to do with us. If you have an accident in the future, don't think about asking us for compensation." Qin Haiyang said: "We don't want to go to court again and be asked to return 2 billion US dollars by you, or even more. By the way, how much did you ask the islanders for this time?"

"No, of course not. Since we bought it from you, of course we have to ensure normal use." Soltello was not calm.

"If you don't agree to the first condition, then don't talk about the rest. After all, the reason you rejected our products was that these products were of poor quality and could not meet your requirements."

"Mr. Soltello, I participated in the supervision of the entire construction process. The quality of their products is very good, better than that of the island countries. There will be no problem with the quality unless it is deliberately damaged." A person brought by Soltello said.

He is a quality supervision representative, just like the shipowner representative of the shipbuilding, who supervised the construction of the eight drilling platforms throughout the process and left until the final lawsuit.

"Okay, then we need to check before we officially sign the contract."

"That's fine. We'll check the goods before you buy them, and once they're sold, they'll have nothing to do with us."

In fact, from the perspective of Tianchuan Heavy Industry, this is understandable. After being cheated once, if you want to continue doing business, you must be prepared to avoid being cheated a second time.
