It was the third day after Chu Tianyao arrived in Shenzhen City.
Xu Qing finally showed up.
However, compared to the previous meeting, Xu Qing's face showed a bit of fatigue this time, but the excitement hidden in her eyes could not escape Chu Tianyao's eyes.
It seems that the news that Xiong Guoxiang is critically ill should be true, otherwise with the other party's control over the Sihai Group, Xu Qing would not be able to use such a large force so easily.
Xu Qing came here this time, firstly to see if Chu Tianyao was honest, and secondly to explain the time for the next business deal.
In the restaurant on the second floor of the hotel.
"Seven days later, the goods will arrive on the high seas. At that time, our cargo ship will hand over the goods and transfer them to the bonded warehouse under the name of Sihai Group. Then there will be dedicated personnel to pull the goods out and deliver them to the warehouses we have agreed on before."
In a secluded corner, Xu Qing, who was wearing a long skirt, was cutting steak elegantly with a knife and fork, and said to Chu Tianyao.
"Then what should I do?"
Chu Tianyao looked at the person in front of him.
Xu Qing chewed her food slowly and then continued, "When the time comes, you go to sea with me. As long as you hand over the things, you don't have to worry about the rest."
"By the way, the items will be sent to various warehouses. Once I find a buyer, your freight company will be responsible for arranging the shipment."
Hearing Xu Qing's words, Chu Tianyao just nodded silently.
Chu Tianyao knew the reason why Xu Qing must take her out to sea without guessing.
This woman is still a little uneasy about herself.
At least she would feel at ease until Chu Tianyao personally participated in this deal.
"What are the main items in this shipment that make you bother so much!"
Chu Tianyao raised his wine glass and asked casually, seemingly casually.
Hearing this, Xu Qing's expression condensed.
"Of course, if you don't want to say it, forget it, just pretend I didn't ask."
Hearing this, Xu Qing's face softened, her red lips parted slightly and she said, "There's nothing hard to say. As a partner, of course you have the right to know."
Xu Qing smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass, touched it with Chu Tianyao in the air, and then took a sip.
"Actually, they are not rare things, just everyday items such as vegetable oil and tobacco. But without the tariff, we can make a lot of money."
Xu Qing also said it casually, but when it fell into Chu Tianyao's ears, it was full of doubts.
If it were just ordinary goods, it would not be worth letting Xu Qing take such a big risk or even betray Xiong Guoxiang.
If Chu Tianyao guessed correctly, there was probably a lot of oil in the cargo this time.
After all, in the 1990s, smuggling was the most profitable thing. As long as he did this business, Xu Qing would be able to live and breathe well for the rest of his life.
"I feel sorry for you to stay in the hotel during this period. If I have time, I will come to accompany you."
In the restaurant, before the meal was finished, Xu Qing said goodbye to Chu Tianyao with a smile.
Regarding Xu Qing's departure, Chu Tianyao had nothing to say.
Xiong Guoxiang was seriously ill and was hospitalized. There must have been a big problem within the Sihai Group. Although Xu Qing seemed calm, Chu Tianyao knew that this woman must be busy with a lot of things recently.
As soon as Xu Qing left, Chu Tianyao's phone rang.
The caller was Zhou Yi, and Chu Tianyao gave him the matter of leasing the factory under the name of Sihai Group.
"Mr. Chu, I have arranged for someone to take over the factory, and the production equipment is almost ready. Once the management team arrives, we can start recruiting workers on site to prepare for production."
Zhou Yi said on the phone.
Speaking of this, he couldn't hide the excitement in his tone.
After all, ten factories were expanded at once. Just purchasing equipment from Shancheng Machinery Factory cost a lot of money. In addition, a large number of workers had to be recruited.
However, although the matter is troublesome, Zhou Yi knows how much the strength of Xingyao Liquor will be improved once this is accomplished.
No joke, even if only half of the ten factories are open, their production capacity can be increased by at least 70%, and they can even be on par with leading companies such as Lanjian and Shancheng.
"By the way, Mr. Chu, I have also read the lease contract. The rent matter..."
Suddenly thinking of something, Zhou Yi said hesitantly on the phone.
It's not because the rent is ridiculously high.
On the contrary, the rent of only 600,000 yuan a year almost shocked Zhou Yi.
This isn't renting at all, it's clearly a free gift.
Most of these vacant factories owned by Sihai Group were actually left over from the original acquisition of bankrupt state-owned factories in various places.
Outsiders may not quite understand why Sihai Group spent a lot of money to acquire these factories, but now Chu Tianyao has the answer.
"The rent thing is true. As for why, don't ask too much. The factory will start production as soon as we get it. Remember... it must be fast!"
On the phone, Chu Tianyao urged Zhou Yi.
Others don't know it clearly, but he understands that if the current situation is true, the collapse of the Sihai Group is certainly imminent.
Once the inside story of Sihai Group is exposed, its group assets will definitely be confiscated, which naturally includes the ten factories that Chu Tianyao just acquired.
Of course, Chu Tianyao had already anticipated this, so he repeatedly asked for this lease contract.
With this lease contract in hand, even if Sihai Group's assets are enforced by the court, according to the principle that the lessee has first right to use, he can choose not to return the rent and continue to enjoy the right to use during the lease period.
Chu Tianyao signed this lease contract for two years.
Xu Qing did not understand Chu Tianyao's behavior at first, because she knew that this was just a one-time deal, and as soon as the deal was completed, she would immediately choose to disappear from the world.
However, Chu Tianyao asked again and again. She was confused, but she didn't care. At least she didn't want to ruin the cooperative relationship with Chu Tianyao because of this trivial matter.
After all, with her position next to Xiong Guoxiang, it is not difficult for Xiong Guoxiang to sign this lease contract.
"Mr. Chu, according to what you said, our current funds can support at most three to five factories to start up at the same time. No more than we can support."
On the other end of the phone, Zhou Yi heard Chu Tianyao's eagerness, scratched his head and replied.
Although Xingyao Winery is currently making good profits and has a bulging pocket, it also has a lot of debt. Even if all the bullets are used up, it can only support three to five factories to start production at the same time.
After all, having a factory is not enough. Production costs such as machinery, labor and raw materials are the largest expenditure. Preliminary estimates indicate that the first phase of the start-up plan will require an investment of at least 20 million.
"Priority will be given to starting up factories in Shancheng, Hanwu and Changsha. There is no need to give up money. The earlier we start production, the better."
Chu Tianyao told Zhou Yi.
After all, Chu Tianyao was not completely sure what the superiors would do at that time.
Once the ten factories are really confiscated, the losses he will face will be huge.
Even Chu Tianyao has already made plans. If this happens, he will have to ask for a favor from Zhang Tongwei even if he doesn't give up.
