It's already August, but it's still rainy here in the foggy city.
At the dock, a supertanker slowly left. A proud Douglas waved happily and refused to put it down.
Ever since I got online with Zhou Jimin, I have been buying large amounts of crude oil from him every once in a while.
Although the price is not very high, the profit is very high.
Because every time Zhou Jimin comes here, he comes in a tanker, and every time he comes, he must load several tankers.
A supertanker is two to three million barrels of crude oil, which is a huge order.
What's more, Zhou Jimin always makes several orders every time he comes, so how can Douglas be dissatisfied?
No, this guy got promoted some time ago.
Leaving the Wudu Port Terminal, Zhou Jimin came to the uninhabited sea, put away the super tanker, and then returned to Wudu.
PHS Company, Wudu Branch.
Looking up at the seven or eight-story building in front of him, Zhou Jimin said in his heart that Liang Wenfeng is quite powerful.
"Boss, you are here, do you need me to inform Ayton?"
Seeing Zhou Jimin at the front desk, he was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile.
Something happened before. Liang Wenfeng, also known as Ayton in the front desk's mouth, directly fired the previous white front desk.
And let all employees remember the picture of Zhou Jimin, Peter in the waistcoat, so that what happened before will never happen again.
Therefore, now that Zhou Jimin appeared at the door of the company, the front desk quickly reacted.
"No, I can just go up there myself."
Zhou Jimin shook his head, pressed the elevator button, and went upstairs.
PHS Company has developed rapidly and currently has offices in Fog City, Paris, Berlin and other cities.
The so-called technical personnel are not enough, so they directly recruit local people.
Europe is full of talents. As long as there are enough manpower, the development speed of PHS cannot stop.
However, the problem that limits the development of PHS is the equipment.
Whether it is PHS terminal equipment or signal transmitters and other related equipment, they are all produced in the mainland.
There are no factories even on the island.
After all, in terms of low labor costs, it must be in the mainland. Labor costs on small islands are still quite high.
Arriving on the seventh floor, Zhou Jimin met Liang Wenfeng.
The latter reported the current performance of PHS Company very seriously.
Compared with two months ago, PHS sales data have increased by about 30%.
This 30% increase is mainly due to the fact that Berlin, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Munich and other cities have completed most of the construction of signal transmission towers.
Therefore, after the PHS terminal communicator was put on the market, it quickly caused a frenzy among local citizens.
Although the unit price of PHS is very expensive, you have to buy a number, and the monthly rent is not cheap, it is really popular.
Especially for those who need to move around the city frequently and need to communicate, the emergence of PHS perfectly solves their problems.
The products of high-tech companies have very high profit margins, especially the current PHS products. There are currently no similar competitors on the market and the profits are even higher.
Many local departments are jealous. If the policy of recruiting a certain proportion of local employees had not been opened, the restrictions on PHS would have been further widened.
Of course, the current trend of globalization has begun to emerge, and peace and stability are the current world themes.
Therefore, although PHS is facing severe challenges, it does not prevent Zhou Jimin from reaping global profits.
After listening to Liang Wenfeng's report, Zhou Jimin could no longer suppress his thoughts.
Judging from the shareholding ratios of different branches in Fog City, Paris and Berlin, Peter's shareholding ratio has been rising.
There is no way around this.
Even so, Liang Wenfeng and others often receive invitations from local capital, and the invitation letter from Peter, a vest, cannot fit in two sacks.
Zhou Jimin didn't pay attention to these invitations at all. If they dared to use small tricks, he naturally wouldn't mind fighting back.
However, he knew that this situation would not last long.
It is impossible to distribute profits to other capital, so it is imperative to introduce new capital.
Zhou Jimin thought for a while and said to Liang Wenfeng:
"Tomorrow night, you invite the company executives who have sent us invitation letters to attend the banquet. Remember, do not invite companies with capital less than 100 million pounds."
When the latter heard this, he was stunned and immediately nodded in agreement.
He knew that the boss must have known that he could no longer bear it, so he personally went out to deal with those jackals, tigers and leopards.
What the West likes most is banquets, especially here in Great Britain.
Leaving the building, Zhou Jimin carefully considered his next action.
In a large castle manor on the outskirts of the foggy city, a housekeeper received a phone call and hurriedly took his PHS to the garden outside.
In the garden, a middle-aged white man named Forgan Smith, who looks like an elderly man, is swinging a golf club.
Snap!
The golf ball flew out, forming a beautiful parabola in mid-air, falling on the grass in front and sliding slowly.
"Master, your phone number is Ayton from Fog City PHS Company."
After hearing this, Forgan Smith took the PHS phone and started chatting with Liang Wenfeng on the other end of the phone with a smile.
When he heard that Peter would attend the party tomorrow night, Smith was overjoyed and hurriedly agreed.
Even though the Smith family is a noble in Fog City, Peter doesn't care about him at all, and there's nothing he can do about it.
What's more, the Smith family has been in decline in recent decades.
Desperate to find a new way to survive, the emergence of PHS almost perfectly meets the Smith family's requirements.
However, after waiting for so long, Peter, the boss behind the PHS company, hardly showed up.
As a result, Forgan Smith has never met Zhou Jimin.
After accepting this matter, Fulgen began to prepare.
Seven or eight people received the news at about the same time as Forgan Smith, and they all started to prepare.
Zhou Jimin on the other side has now returned to his residence in Fog City, an ordinary farm-style castle.
In the foggy city of the 1960s, there was not much but most castles.
The Queen especially likes to ennoble knights, not only to the wealthy people in Great Britain, but also to those in the Commonwealth countries.
And the wealthy people in the Commonwealth like to come back to Fog City to buy real estate so that they can have a place to stay next time they come to Fog City.
After World War II, the wealthy people of the Commonwealth contributed a lot to the economic recovery of the foggy city.
Therefore, the housing prices here in Fog City are really not low.
In addition, the British pound is very valuable, more valuable than the US dollar, and housing prices seem to be even higher.
"Dear, you are back."
When Bonnie Halls heard the sound of the car, she rushed out and asked with a bright smile.
As long as Zhou Jimin comes back, she will push away all the announcements from outside and accompany him wholeheartedly.
After being intimate with her for a while, Zhou Jimin mentioned that there would be a dinner party held at a five-star hotel in Wudu tomorrow night, and asked her to prepare it and attend it with him tomorrow night.
"Really? My dear, you are so kind to me."
The news immediately made her ecstatic, and she burst into tears.
After all, she knows very well what it means to have her as a female companion.
She let her kiss him, and after a while, Zhou Jimin pushed her away and went about his own business.
The most important thing for him now is the communication satellite, and everything else must be put aside.
Even the extraction of invisible metal substances plays a very low role in his daily scientific research work.
In fact, if a stealth aircraft can be made, it will be of great help to Zhou Jimin's next actions.
However, the quiet effect inside the aircraft fuselage is very good, but the noise outside is not small.
With current technology, it is simply impossible to achieve a quiet engine effect.
Even electric engines make noise.
Of course, if you want to do business in Bald Eagle territory, if you are not too reckless, you can actually hide in the city and then leave by civil aviation.
However, as he is accustomed to supersonic aircraft, it is difficult for him to adapt to the speed of ordinary civil aviation aircraft.
Besides, last time he took a plane from the foggy city to the Bald Eagle, and he didn't want to experience the huge noise again.
In the blink of an eye, the next day, Bonnie Halls was still lying on the bed, her body seemed to be falling apart, motionless.
Zhou Jimin had already run ten kilometers around the castle and returned to the bathroom to take a shower and then have breakfast.
However, Bonnie still didn't get up, and didn't even make a move to turn over.
"I only had a little... last night for only an hour and a half. Why didn't she get up?"
However, whether she gets up or not will not affect his work.
As long as she doesn't miss tonight's dinner, that's fine.
Time soon came to night, Zhou Jimin put on a tuxedo, and Bonnie next to him also put on a well-tailored dress.
This dress is relatively conservative and is no different from the clothes she usually performs on stage.
Bonnie Halls was naturally very happy about his domineering behavior.
Western society is a complex of contradictions. Some people like to be exposed, while others are loyal to conservatism.
Many conservative British women, such as Princess Kate, are very conservative.
The same is true for the bald eagle on the other side of the Atlantic. Many Puritan women are far more conservative than outsiders imagine.
When Zhou Jimin and Zhou Jimin arrived at the hotel, the place was already brightly lit and filled with guests.
The dance party in the foggy city is monotonous and boring.
After meeting and greeting people like Fulgen Smith, Zhou Jimin took Bonnie and left the hall.
The hall is reserved for Liang Wenfeng and others to receive reception, so that they can relax.
In the small conference room next to him, Zhou Jimin was sitting casually, with twenty or thirty people sitting across from him.
Forgan Smith, Andy Spencer, Thorne Churchill, Owen Butt, etc. are almost all successors of big families in Fog City.
The entire wealthy families in Great Britain, excluding the almost hermit-like Rothschild family, the Smith family, the Spencer family, the Bute family, etc., are all powerful families that control all aspects of energy, chemical industry, finance, etc. in Great Britain.
Of course, the person who came here today is not the head of their family, but the successor or the family representative of the quasi-successor.
The profits of PHS are astonishing, although these families cannot find out the specific costs.
However, we can conduct a rough analysis by collecting data.
Therefore, the profits are so amazing that no one is willing to let go of the fat in their mouths.
They are very patient. After waiting for so long, the time has finally come.
After a long discussion, Zhou Jimin finally spoke:
"At present, PHS wants to enter the fast lane of development, so it needs to introduce more capital to occupy the market..."
"I'm sorry, I want to interrupt. Peter, what do you mean by the fast lane? Do you have any new products? In addition, what market is occupied? Do you want to occupy the blank market on the other side of the Atlantic?
?"
Thorne Churchill interrupted Zhou Jimin in a very rude manner, which made the latter feel very unhappy.
However, he was unhappy and he didn't show it.
Others were surprised when they heard Thorne's words, staring at Zhou Jimin with burning eyes, as if they were eager to know the answer.
If there is a new product, then it is not good news for those of them who want to get on the car.
But if Zhou Jimin really wants to develop the bald eagle market, this is good news.
It has been more than a year since PHS appeared on the market, but it has still not been launched in North America.
The specific reason is unknown.
It's just that the local capital doesn't allow it, the negotiations have broken down, etc., or the local capital in North America is already developing PHS, and it is estimated that it will not be long before it can be copied.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
And this may be one of the reasons why Zhou Jimin invited everyone to the dinner party today.
Thinking of this, Fulgensmith and others' minds changed rapidly, and they were thinking of countermeasures.
"Yes, we already have a new product, but we don't plan to put it into the market. Instead, we go all out to promote PHS..."
Zhou Jimin smiled and then said:
"At the same time, we are indeed going to enter the North American market. That land contains too much wealth, so we will not miss it..."
"The main reason I invite you to the dinner today is to tell you the good news that we are about to introduce new capital. As for who will be the lucky winner, it will be announced in two months."
What?
Hearing this, Fulgensmith and others couldn't help it.
"Why did you have to wait so long?"
"Because besides you, I also need to notify other people. The one with the highest price will get it."
Although Zhou Jimin smiled kindly and looked good for you, Thorne and others wanted to punch him twice. It was so disgusting.
If it is more than money, it will be really troublesome.
The richest capitalists are not from Great Britain, but from North America.
Moreover, the market PHS is about to develop is the North American market, so it is only natural to introduce North American capitalists.
If this is the case, then why notify them?
Fugen and others looked very ugly, but Zhou Jimin disagreed and continued:
"Scientific research is very expensive. We will launch several projects by then. If you really have ideas, you can compete..."
It won’t work without bringing in local capital at all.
Maybe there won't be any problems in a short period of time, but if others keep looking at the fat piece of PHS, there will always be an explosion one day.
As the saying goes, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, but how can you prevent a thief for a thousand days?
The limitations of the PHS company are still very strong. As long as the mobile phone is launched, the demise of PHS can basically be announced.
Therefore, he has to put the fattest piece of meat into his mouth, and then throw out the remaining soup and water.
Even if it is all this tangtangshuishui, he still has to scrape off the oil and water of these capitalists.
The best thing is to exchange PHS shares for shares of some patents or high-tech companies.
Even if you can't do it, you have to settle for the next best thing and pursue some industries that are currently insignificant but have great prospects in the future.
Anyway, Peter’s vest is quite useful.
When the time comes, it will not be difficult to create another vest in North America and then hide the real shareholders through cross-shareholdings.
In the 1960s, it was just over 20 years since World War II.
It is very easy to falsify a lot of information.
What's more, in this era, there is no rapid response communication method to verify some information.
Otherwise, Frank Abagnale, the great liar of the century, would not have directly defrauded the check company of millions of dollars in just two years.
Fulgan Smith and others looked ugly. Thorne smiled softly and whispered:
"Peter, aren't you afraid that we will be unhappy?"
"Haha, I'm afraid. Of course I'm afraid, but I'm even more afraid of the bosses behind me. If they are unhappy, I will die miserably..."
It's just a tiger's skin, how could Zhou Jimin not do it?
As for the big boss behind him, that's not something Fulgen and the others can know.
Anyway, it is enough to make them afraid and not dare to act easily.
"Our PHS company does not go to other companies because my boss does not allow it. If you are unhappy and want to lift the table, we are very welcome. This means that we can also lift the table, haha...
...."
The words are ugly and very direct.
This makes Thorne and others even more uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, they don't know who is behind Zhou Jimin. It may be the Rothschild family or other hermit families.
After World War II, many wealthy families, such as the Rothschild family, completely disappeared and were difficult for outsiders to find.
It is so divided by politics and war that it is normal for wealthy families to hide.
However, hiding does not mean that they have no energy.
On the contrary, the forces lurking under the water are more unpredictable and scary.
The PHS company that has just surfaced has already attracted the salivation of many capitals such as Great Britain, Berlin, and Paris.
Who knows what other tricks these hermit families are hiding?
Looking at the depressed expressions of Fulgen, Thorne and others who remained silent, Zhou Jimin smiled and did not continue to say anything.
At this point, he has basically accomplished his planned goal for tonight's banquet, so it's over.
