Chapter 1,258 Party A’s father’s treatment is lower than that of his grandson
Qin Haiyang's heart was poured with cold water.
Although it is no longer the Seadrill company, it is still a Norwegian company, and it still wants to go offshore for exploration. Needless to say, it must still be the original buyer. Under my father's operation, the other party had to bow its head!
Huh, what's going on?
Besides, if they agree to their conditions, Xia Yu will be the general manager of the company. Qin Haiyang has already guessed Xia Yu's true intention, how can he let Xia Yu sit in that position?
"Director Qin, Director Qin?"
"A good horse never turns back to eat grass." Qin Haiyang said: "They didn't want it before, but now they come to buy it again. Humph, we won't sell it!"
"Director Qin, Director Qin, they are not the same company."
"Not if you're Norwegian!"
"Director Qin, we are doing business, we can't act like a child."
Child? I will be eighteen soon! Qin Haiyang was even more angry. You actually called me a child? However, just when he was about to get angry, he realized it and quickly calmed down.
Yes, you can't lose your temper, and you can't refuse to sell because your opponent is Norwegian, but...
"Eight drilling platforms, two billion US dollars, we only accept full payment. If they want to buy it, then come and buy it!"
The original order price was US$1.6 billion, but a lot of things happened later. Not only did the Norwegians fail to pay the balance, but they even filed a lawsuit to get back the down payment they had already paid.
Therefore, Tianshuang Heavy Industry has 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
Let them pay for it again!
Not? Then don’t think about it and watch others make money every day!
Xia Yu was stunned: "Director Qin, this..."
"This is our condition. You send them an email and tell them that our oil drilling platforms are hot commodities. They want to buy them for at least 2 billion, and they have to decide within a week. If they come to buy again next week, then
That’s $2.5 billion!”
The smile on Xia Yu's face completely froze. Although Director Qin is still a child, the face of this profiteer has been passed down by Mr. Qin!
"Go for it!"
Xia Yu could only smile, then walked out, closing the door with a gloomy face.
Back in the office, Xia Yu turned on the computer and a dialog box popped up.
How are things going?
When Director Qin heard that a Norwegian company was coming to buy it, he was very angry immediately and decided not to sell it to you. Later, after my repeated persuasion, he decided to sell it to you, but the price had to be raised to US$2 billion.
This is a joke! We don’t have that kind of money!
Sorry, I can only do this.
Hum, if you can't handle this, then don't even think about coming to the European paradise!
Office of the Chairman.
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.
Huh, it's you! Qin Haiyang's eyes are cold and stern. Are you looking for someone to arrest him now? Of course not! There is no point in arresting him now. He has to wait until the Norwegians spend two billion US dollars to buy these drilling platforms!
No, two billion is not enough. We have to think of another way to blackmail them more!
Qin Haiyang's mind was running rapidly, thinking of ways to do it. He had to achieve results and show his father.
At this time, Qin Tao was also listening to Xu Zhengyang's introduction.
"Hayang has discovered that Xia Yu is a traitor and has installed screen-peeping software on Xia Yu's computer. However, the method is still a bit crude, so we helped with it again." Xu Zhengyang said: "Also, he raised the price to twenty
Yi, this is definitely your true inheritance."
"My true heritage? What is my true heritage?" 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.
"Forget it, if the price is raised to two billion, the Norwegians will not agree easily. We must add more firewood to make the fire burn brighter."
"good."
Norway.
"Are you kidding, two billion, do they really think we have to buy those drilling platforms?" Oryang said: "We would rather place orders with other shipyards than let them take advantage of them."
"Of course we can go to other shipyards to place orders, but on the one hand, the cycle is too long, and on the other hand, due to the contract dispute between us and Tianshi Heavy Industry, those shipyards will definitely raise higher requirements, such as 50% or even
It's a higher share. Once a dispute arises, it needs to be arbitrated in the London court in the United Kingdom." Soltero said.
Who doesn’t know that their company, Seadrill, played a trick on Oriental and almost brought down Tianshi Heavy Industry? If they place another order now, there will definitely be no such contract traps.
If your reputation is ruined, you will not be able to gain a foothold in the world. Ah San is an example. When Ah San goes to the East to do business, even if it is not the full amount, he still needs 90% of the advance payment. Otherwise, no manufacturer is willing to deal with Ah San.
These are all troubles. If possible, it is easiest to buy from the East.
"Humph, we will not be blackmailed by the Orientals. We would rather spend more money and waste more time than let the Orientals take advantage of us!" Oryang said with great backbone.
Just then, the phone rang.
"Hey, Adkins, what's up?"
"Recently, oil and natural gas futures have been bullish, 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 lose every day? At least 20 million US dollars! The price has increased by 400 million US dollars. Let's take care of it."
Help guarantee that if you get a loan from the bank, you must buy back the drilling platform as soon as possible. If it is too late, the oil price will drop and our work will be in vain!"
Energy prices have risen by 40%. How is this so unnatural? This situation would only occur during wars when oil-producing countries are unable to transport oil! Now, with prices rising, energy operating companies must of course increase production.
Got it!
"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
Transport it back."
"Okay." Sortelo nodded.
Dongfang, Tianshuang Heavy Industries.
"Director Qin, the customer 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 and 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 come to our gate to greet you."
"No, after they arrive, just take them directly to the conference room. Arrange for them to enter the conference room and I will go there."
"You don't want to pick them up in person? They are foreigners or 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, and what's wrong with you is
, 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 CEO of Mingzhou Group. If you were in another family, how could you not yearn for foreign countries?
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 met 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 and said, "Are you here alone?"
"Yes. There is also a driver outside."
"Where's Qin Haiyang?"
"He is waiting for you at the company."
"Humph, this is your Eastern way of hospitality?"
"Mr. Sortelo, on the surface they say they are 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.
"Huh, let's go!"
Sortelo has reason to be angry. After all, they are a big customer. 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. It 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 Tianshuan Heavy Industry. There was no one to pick 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.
"Director Qin, the guests have arrived."
"Let them wait first." Qin Haiyang faced the computer screen and played the simplest minesweeper game.
"But... they are our big customers."
"What a big customer." Qin Haiyang said: "They had evil intentions and asked our Tianship Heavy Industry to sign a trap contract, which pushed Tianchuan Heavy Industry to the edge of bankruptcy. They didn't even let go of the deposit. Now the world's energy prices are rising.
They're back again, why do they ask me to greet them with gongs and drums?"
"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, they will have to continue to increase the price."
In the conference room, Sortelo was wearing headphones, and a clear conversation appeared inside. An angry look flashed on his face, and then he wanted to stand up and walk, but he still sat down after thinking about the task ahead.
According to the current situation, oil prices have been rising, and they must quickly bring the drilling platform back. What if the other party increases the price again next time?
The other party just wants to provoke me to leave, and I must not listen to the other party!
"Now that energy prices are so high, we cannot let them make money too early. Let them leave this time. When they come back next time, we will tell them that the Arctic route cannot be used in winter and let them take ordinary routes."
Qin Haiyang continued to express his thoughts.
It's already winter, so of course we can't take the Arctic route. We can only take a detour. This detour will take a long time.
"Director Qin, can the Arctic route be traveled in winter?"
"Of course." Qin Haiyang said: "The whole line has been connected for a long time. We can travel in summer and winter. Our Mingzhou Group has nuclear-powered icebreakers. Of course, Lao Maozi also has them, and there are quite a few. Take the ones that have been in service recently.
For example, the Fifty Years Victory can maintain a speed of 18 knots and continue to break ice. It opens the way in front and can lead the fleet forward from behind."
Arctic route! Sortelo was extremely excited upon hearing this.
The Arctic route is the most economical route, especially for Norway. They are close to the North Pole and take a large circle on the regular route. Taking the Arctic route is simply a direct route!
However, the sailing time is not only related to the distance, but also the speed. In winter, the Arctic freezes, and 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 or even several nautical miles in a day, which will undoubtedly waste time.
However, Lao Maozi's nuclear-powered icebreaker relies on its strong power to achieve rapid operation on the ice!
"Quickly, check out Lao Maozi's fifty-year-old 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 construction of the Fifty Years Victory began in 1993 and was planned to be launched on the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II. However, due to lack of funds, it was delayed for several years before delivery.
This ship is 159 meters long, 30 meters wide, has a displacement of 25,000 tons, has two nuclear reactors, has a maximum speed of 21 knots, and can continuously walk on 2.8-meter-thick ice at a speed of 18 knots!
As long as you don't drive to the North Pole and only walk on the Arctic route, you will definitely not encounter ice above 3 meters, so...
We must buy a drilling platform from here as soon as possible and then take the Arctic route back! Sortelo 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 retreat.
Returning to the conference room, Xia Yu looked at Sortelo and others: "I'm sorry, Director Qin..."
"It doesn't matter, we can wait." Sortelo said, "We've decided to buy it this time!"
Soltero wasn't angry? Xia Yu looked at the pen in her handbag and smiled: "Okay, everyone, wait a moment, I'll make you coffee."
"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 hurriedly went to get tea, but she was muttering in her heart, what's so good about tea? Coffee is delicious. Her favorite thing is to go to Starbucks after get off work and get a cup of coffee. At that time, she will have a sense of satisfaction.
Now……
Xia Yu made tea, chatted with them in the conference room, and visited Qin Haiyang every hour. That was it, until before leaving get off work, Qin Haiyang finally stood up helplessly: "Well, we can't let them either. It’s no use coming here, I’ll go over and see them.”
In the conference room, Sortelo and others were still drinking tea leisurely. When they saw Qin Haiyang walking in, they squeezed out a smile: "Director Qin, you are finally here. This young man really has character."
"Everyone, Secretary Xia may not have made it clear when communicating with you. Here, I need to explain a few more detailed terms. If you find it unacceptable, then forget it."
Sortelo smiled: "Really? Then let's hear what the terms are. In short, the price can't go up anymore, right? After all, doing business requires credibility."
"First of all, Article 1, we have to sign a liability exemption agreement. As long as you buy these drilling platforms, it has nothing to do with us. If you have an accident while using it in the future, don't think about coming to us for compensation again," Qin Haiyang said: "
We don’t want to go to court again and have you ask for two billion dollars back, or even more. By the way, how much do you and the islanders ask for this time?”
"No, of course it's not possible. Since I bought it from you, of course we have to ensure that we can use it normally." Sortelo was not calm.
"If you don't agree to the first condition, then don't talk about the rest. After all, the reason why you rejected our products in the first place was that these products were of poor quality and could not meet your requirements."
"Mr. Sortelo, I participated in the supervision of the entire construction process. The quality of their production is very good, better than that of the island country. There will be no problem with the quality unless it is intentional damage." Sortelo brought a
people said.
He was the quality supervision representative, just like the shipowner's representative in shipbuilding. He supervised the entire construction of eight drilling platforms until the final lawsuit.
"Okay, then we need to check it before we formally sign the contract."
"That's okay. You have to inspect the goods before buying them. Once you buy them, they have nothing to do with us."
In fact, this is understandable from the perspective of Tianshuang Heavy Industries. If you have been deceived once and continue to do business, you must be prepared to avoid being deceived a second time.
