Chapter 126 This is not in line with the status of a rich country
A few days later, there was a warehouse in a research institute affiliated to the National Museum somewhere in Hujiang City.
The cultural relics protection department that originally asked COSCO to help with the matchmaking sent a group of experts, who were all busy inspecting the things that had just been fished out, and they all looked happy.
What is displayed here at the moment is the collection that was fished out by later generations on the famous "Nanyang No. 1" in the field of cultural relics protection. If it was a few years ago, when Gu Kun was not so developed, he would probably be overjoyed to get this ship.
Crazy. But now this small gain is just icing on the cake for him at most.
Gu Kun's people are very professional, and they did a good job in storing and protecting them after they were fished out. Even the enamel glaze on the outside of Tang Sancai was protected as much as possible. Even if there is damage, most of it has been damaged at the bottom of the sea over the years, and there are very few.
There was secondary damage.
Naturally, COSCO has to send someone to take over the job. This is the moment to show off and claim credit. How could we miss it?
"We are already friends, so I won't say thank you. Any more words will be hypocritical and will be included in the subsequent cooperation. In Nanyang, there is nothing that can't be done inconveniently for your boss.
"He Lan, who had just taken a special flight back to Shanghai from Aoxian County, expressed her sincere respect to Gu Kun.
Gu Kun was also relatively modest and didn't show off anything.
After all, he made so much money in Xiangjiang, and he also relied on the cooperation of the financial management department. Even if he took the money from Soros and Xiao Santou, not from the national team, the favor is still there.
Repaying you hundreds of millions of cultural relics and returning them to Zhao intact is a settlement.
"Mr. He, you're welcome. This is also good for me. I've also lost hundreds of kilograms of Sogdian and Sasanian gold coins, which are worth tens of millions of dollars." Gu Kun smiled like a spring breeze.
It is not surprising that a large Arab merchant ship of high rank can carry hundreds of kilograms of gold coins.
If calculated based on the price of gold, these would be worth tens of millions of RMB or millions of dollars. But because they were from more than 1,200 years ago, the value of gold coins as cultural relics can be at least twenty times higher than the price of gold.
However, in total, it was still less than 100 million U.S. dollars. Compared with all the valuable cargo on the ship, it accounted for less than 20%.
Gu Kun just took 28 and couldn't get it, so he was very conscientious.
In fact, even if he left behind a few boxes or even dozens of boxes of Tang Sancai-level things, as long as he did not openly sell them to foreign auctions for sale and cash out, but kept them for himself to collect and play with, no one would care about him, and it would be impossible to find out.
of.
The things had been stored on his ship for these days, and the private collection had to be transferred back to Lan Fang. And what he handed over to China included hundreds of boxes, and the loss of dozens of boxes was only a small proportion.
…
After a handover between the two parties, high-level characters such as He Lan and Gu Kun left the remaining chores to the experts and left first.
He Lan solemnly set up a banquet at the Xijiao Hotel and invited many high-profile people to accompany him to greet Gu Kun.
Of course, in name, he came forward to thank Gu Kun on behalf of the COSCO Group, but in fact, all the units involved would send people to return the favor.
After drinking for a few rounds, He Lan asked proactively: "Xiao Gu, I know you very well. I personally sent this batch of things because I am afraid there is some new cooperation that I want to discuss."
If it was just a gift, Du Guowei would be enough. Gu Kun obviously wanted to strike while the iron was hot.
Gu Kun took a sip of champagne: "Of course there are many opportunities for cooperation. This time, Lan Fang showed great international responsibility during the Southeast Asian financial crisis and helped various countries buy the bottom of so many sluggish and unsustainable assets. What will happen next?
The long-term operation of these industries is indispensable without the advanced experience and superior management support of our counterparts in China.
For example, I bought a shipping company with a market value of US$2 billion in Xiangjiang, privatized it, and renamed it Lanfang Maritime. I will still need your support from COSCO in the future. We may have to poach some of the technical and management backbones from you. Of course.
It’s best if you recommend it yourself.”
He Lan smiled easily: "It's easy to say, but do we still lack people at COSCO?"
State-owned enterprises have always been the most willing to spend money on human resource reserves. To put it bluntly, it can easily lead to overstaffing. But in times of emergency, the advantage of a thick team comes to the fore.
At worst, Gu Kunkai's conditions would be better, and he would poach people at a price that exceeds the cost of talent training, directly helping COSCO find a way out for a group of reserve talents.
Then COSCO will use these budgets to recruit new people and train them slowly. Central-level enterprises are not afraid of losing the trained talents to the society, since they have money anyway. Even the assessment KPIs of central-level enterprises and their performance are very important.
The indicator is called "social responsibility" and assesses how many social jobs have been created.
Gu Kun is also helping COSCO solve more social employment problems in disguise.
The financial crisis in Southeast Asia has just ended, and it is hard to find jobs for people in the country.
The two sides talked happily, but He Lan was a little confused and took the initiative to remind: "Xiao Gu, strictly speaking, you helped us more in this matter. But as far as I know, since you privatized a family
In the past, the Heung Kong Shipping Company, didn’t the acquired company have its own management team?
Or, if you want to expand the scale of your business to such a large scale, the original people are far from enough for you? Xiangjiang is also our territory of China now, and I don’t want to harm the social employment rate of Xiangjiang.”
Gu Kun couldn't help but smile: "Mr. He is really compassionate. Don't worry, we are a socially responsible company. We want to fire a few people from Xiangjiang, mainly because their labor costs are too high and their salaries are too expensive.
But this is not the mainstream, and we try to retain them as much as possible. The people I actually laid off 100% were mainly those with Breton nationality in the original company, especially the white people. Now none of them are retained, and they are all unemployed."
While talking and laughing, the snow-skinned dolphin was reduced to ashes. Gu Kun used the most gentlemanly expression, like a primary school student dissecting a frog, and did it all without any inner trouble. He even wanted to laugh a little.
He Lan was slightly startled: "Aren't you afraid of others talking about your nationality... Oh no, is it nationality discrimination?"
Gu Kun shrugged: "So what? We are Lanfang, do we still need to consider political correctness according to Western values? Even if we make a big fuss, we will only be boycotted by them, not to mention that it won't make a big fuss in the first place. We don't
Didn't have any business dealings with the Bretons.
I think it is wrong to insult and slander, and you should pay the price. But if you are just discriminating and discriminating in your heart, if you don’t openly say it to provoke and humiliate, then what does it mean? There are many Eastern European countries that discriminate against refugees from war-torn countries in the Near East, and I haven’t seen those holy mothers jumping out.
Just pointing fingers.
I remember an economist said that if there is discrimination, you must pay a price. If a white landlord in Oceania does not rent to black people, then he will have to pay. There will be fewer potential customers to rent his house, and the relationship between supply and demand will shift towards demand.
Due to the strong deviation of the party, the house may not be rented at a price as high as that of a non-discriminatory landlord.'
Those Western colonial powers are now pretending to be virgins, but they have accumulated too much debt in history. In addition, the Western developed world has long been saturated with demand and needs the third world to provide emerging markets, so they have begun to show favor to the former colonial people.
As for the poor countries in Eastern Europe, they have never had the opportunity to bully the Asian people in history, nor have they had the opportunity to have the influence of former colonies. They look down on those they want to look down on behind closed doors, and they don't bother anyone. Britta
If the Nigerians want to beep, they should first go to Pingdu Zhenlu, a big country to beep."
I don’t openly insult anyone, but I secretly look down on certain people in my heart. That’s my freedom. The one in Oceania is purely for economic interests, and political correctness has taken another evil path.
Those red-necked white right-wingers at the bottom of the Deep South have not benefited from globalization and international harmony, so why should they be required to not look down on foreigners like Wall Street robbers?
He Lan was stunned for a while, and had to shake her head: "You are so sharp in looking at the problem, and you don't save any face. It's not that I shouldn't question, provoking you to talk so much. Let's talk about the next cooperation intention.
."
Gu Kun didn't want to talk anymore and quickly got back to the topic: "This time, another aspect is that I hope that Huahai Oil will help me optimize the report data and make it better - currently our expected oil reserves per capita in Lanzhou,
It’s just barely higher than Kuwait, which is too miserable. We have to find a way to cleverly name it and get it higher.”
