After acquiring a bunch of new official identities of Lan Fang, Gu Kun would be more confident that he would come back to China next time to show off his power and deceive others.
However, necessary preparations still need to be done.
For more than a week after that, Gu Kun took a preliminary look at the preparatory documents and plans that might be used in the negotiations - all based on the little knowledge he had when running a shipping company in his previous life, and the historical cases he knew, and he did it in a rough and detailed way.
After all, in his previous life, he did not systematically study maritime university or ocean engineering. He only relied on the academic qualifications of a high school student and slowly learned through experience during decades of work.
Professional planning work is left to highly educated and professional assistants around you.
Gu Kun himself can only be said to be well-informed and has seen a lot, so he only knows a little bit about shipping management/port planning.
However, it is enough to use it to deceive the relevant Chinese departments that were not very professional in international trade and ocean shipping in 1994. There are not many top students who are serious about professional maritime/ocean engineering.
Planning can be done anytime and anywhere, so Gu Kun doesn't waste time making money.
He got a kpad laptop, tried his best to copy a bunch of relevant information in Kuching, borrowed and bought many related books and periodicals as reference, and then moved it to his largest and fastest fishing boat.
Then during the flight from Kuching to Guangdong, the project was completed.
Along the way, he also personally explored fish every day and directed his men's fishing operations, easily netting millions in one trip.
On June 1st, "Benma 001" finally docked in Guangdong.
"Benma No. 001" is the name of the Gu Kun's largest and fastest fishing boat mentioned just now. It was just given by him recently.
Because traditional small and medium-sized fishing boats are not qualified to take names such as "XX number"/"XX pill".
Most of the fishing boats that Chinese people see look like "Zheyu Xxxx" or "Fujian Yu yyyy", which are just like car license plates, just a series of numbers and letters.
Lanfang's fishing boats are also divided according to fishing areas, or simply called "Lanyu zzzz". Originally, Gu Kun's three boats could only be called Lanyu with numbers and letters.
However, after he himself became the "Owner of Benma Island" and "Director of the Management Committee of Benma Island Tourism Development Zone", according to the relevant laws and regulations of Lanzhou, he could name the new fishing area - what is Benma Island to
Lanfang is actually the same as provincial administrative regions such as Zhejiang/Fujian to China.
Why don’t you use a “pretty account”? If you don’t use it, it’s useless!
When they landed, Gu Kun called Xu Feng as usual and asked Xu Feng to send someone to collect the goods.
Xu Feng didn't even realize that Gu Kun's identity had changed. He actually didn't show any extra respect. On the grounds that his business was busy, he asked one of his subordinates, Ma Zai, to handle the daily purchase and settlement work, and settled it for Gu Kun.
More than 1 million seafood items.
After receiving the money, Gu Kun asked other sailors to take the ship back. He only brought two bodyguards, Gao Jianxiong and Xu Hu, stayed at the White Swan Hotel, and booked a flight to Beijing the next day.
When checking in, the female receptionist at the White Swan Hotel was really surprised when she saw that Gu Kun had taken out a diplomatic passport, and subconsciously said a few words in foreign languages - Although Gu Kun did not accept the title of counselor, the people's view of China
Exchange organizations can also issue diplomatic passports, so there is no conflict.
Fortunately, Gu Kun spoke to her in Chinese, and looking at Gu Kun's face, he looked clearly Chinese, so the female receptionist finally reacted.
In the end, Gu Kun booked a standard room for the two mazi, and he stayed in the business suite himself.
After returning to the guest room, Gu Kun took a bath to relieve the fatigue from the flight, and then asked a serious Masa pilot to knead it.
While he was relaxing, he also silently calculated his current assets and cash flow in his mind.
As mentioned before, even if he no longer personally cheats and directs fishing expeditions, and just relies on his subordinates to operate his fleet, the combined monthly foreign trade and fishery profits can reach nearly one million.
And if he leads the team in person, he can earn nearly a million more in one trip.
It is now early June, and with the recent vote to come to China, his total assets are already over 2 million more than when he just killed Chen Mingcheng.
In addition, although he had spent the equivalent of 3.5 million yuan on the development rights before, just a few days ago, he directly found a branch of a foreign bank in Lanfang and mortgaged the development rights for a loan of 3 million yuan.
.
As a result, Gu Kun's current controllable assets have reached 15 million yuan - more than 5.5 million of which are the value of his fixed assets of ships, 3.5 million is the island development rights, and about 1 million cars
House, small yacht, etc.
So the real asset is worth 10 million.
The cash flow on hand is 5 million, and at the same time, it also owes 5 million in loans (2 million was borrowed from the previous mortgage boat loan, and 3 million was borrowed from the mortgage island development rights loan).
In other words, his net assets after deducting liabilities are exactly 10 million, which is exactly the same as the value of his physical assets. And the cash flow is exactly offset by the loan.
It doesn't matter that he can use these 5 million in cash at his disposal during his stay in China, either to show off his appearance, or to show off his appearance and make friends with important people.
…
The next day, because the flight was at noon, there was no rush, so Gu Kun got up very late.
After washing up, I was going downstairs to have the breakfast buffet, but I was shocked as soon as I walked out.
It turned out that Gao Jianxiong and Xu Hu were both standing guard at his door like they did when they were in the army.
Although both of them were no longer wearing military uniforms, but ordinary bodyguard black suits that Gu Kun bought for them, their posture still attracted the attention of many residents.
"When did you stand here? You didn't even call me." Gu Kun felt very awkward.
Gao Jianxiong actually saluted him: "Not long ago, I started standing at 7 o'clock in the morning. I didn't dare to disturb your rest. You are now a foreign envoy. When you arrive on Chinese territory, we should protect our international friends."
Gu Kun felt a chill in his heart...
I am not an official envoy at all, nor am I an official dignitary! Can you please stop being so formal just because I have a diplomatic passport?
However, it is estimated that given the ideological education and simple views that Gao Jianxiong and others received, it would be useless to talk about it for a while.
Gu Kun could only ask them to follow him and go downstairs to eat at the buffet.
Then the two of them walked in a uniform step, deliberately lowering their voices, and quietly followed behind.
While eating at the buffet, Xu Hu's eyes became wet as he ate. Gao Jianxiong, who had a better psychological quality, scolded him in a low voice and asked him to control his emotions.
Xu Hu sniffed and apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, I am just a soldier who has changed his career. I never thought that one day I would be able to live in the White Swan and eat the buffet here. I didn't sleep all night last night. I'm a rough guy.
People can’t speak.”
Gu Kun patted the two of them on the shoulders and encouraged them easily: "Follow me and work hard. There will be many opportunities to broaden your horizons in the future."
After eating at the buffet and checking out of the room, the three of them took a taxi to Baiyun Airport. It was also the first time for Gao and Xu to fly on a commercial airliner. During this period, they had to be cautious and curious, and secretly felt that they had found a good boss.
Three hours later, the flight arrived in Beijing. At the airport, Gu Kun and his party met an old friend to pick them up. It was Ma Feng who worked at the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Affairs.
Before Gu Kun came, he had called Ma Feng and told him what he wanted to negotiate when he came to China this time.
In the business environment of the 1990s, COSCO Group and the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation were inextricably linked.
In addition to its professional maritime business, many of COSCO's other major policies must follow the plans of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Affairs, so Gu Kun couldn't go wrong by asking friends from the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Affairs for referrals.
However, he still didn't expect Ma Feng to come to pick him up at the airport, and he was a little too enthusiastic.
"Chief Ma, why are you so embarrassed? You should have come to visit me after I settled down. This time, I just came to explore the road." Gu Kun and Ma Feng talked and laughed freely, holding hands and talking happily.
Ma Feng was very polite: "You should, you should. Although this matter is not my responsibility, the more you can help bridge the gap and promote external cooperation, the better. Brother Gu, you came to me to give me your results.
You guys should stay at the Friendship Hotel these days. I've made a reservation for you. Now, should you go and clean up your hotel first, or should you go to the ministry first?"
Gu Kun waved his hand: "It's too grand, it's too grand."
Ma Feng: "Countries don't matter big or small. I heard that this time you switched from a shotgun to a cannon."
Gu Kun: "It's better to wait until tomorrow. I'll pack everything up before visiting. I'll deal with some personal matters today. Since you sent a car, take us to Dongzhimen first."
"You are going to the embassy area to do something." Ma Feng understood immediately and told the driver to drive.
An hour later, the car meandered from the Beijing Airport to the northeastern corner of the embassy area outside Dongzhimen, and stopped at the entrance of Lanfang Pavilion - Lanfang Pavilion is in a corner of the same building as Malaya Pavilion, with only a few offices.
Even the envoys live next door to the office.
Further north are the Korea Pavilion, Asan Pavilion and Oceania Pavilion.
When Gu Kun arrived, the Lanfang stationed abroad officer had obviously received the care of Sa Wuyang, so he had prepared what Gu Kun wanted - he divided the Lanfang Pavilion's two license plate quotas with the word "Shi" in it.
One piece was given to Gu Kun so that he could run around and do errands during his stay in China.
The management of a small foreign country like Lanfang is too chaotic.
Then, Gu Kun went to a nearby car shop, looked for a ready-made car and bought one, and then went to the vehicle management office to put the spare license plate on it.
Big Bens are not very rare in China. In places like Beijing, where Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, you can find at least hundreds of them, and the general price of Big Bens is not more than one million.
Since he was here to seek cooperation, Gu Kun naturally wanted to look more confident, so he spent 2 million to buy a stretched Lincoln with the top executive version. Thanks to the capital, such luxury cars are available.
With physical samples, Gu Kun could just pay and pick up the car with one hand.
Coupled with this car's license plate, the car's lethality is definitely enough.
After everything was settled, Gu Kun thought of a question: "Lao Gao, can your driver's license allow you to drive a big car? You can't drive this car with a sedan license."
Gao Jianxiong: "Don't worry, Mr. Gu, I took photos of various large vehicles when I was in the army."
Xu Hu, who was not very knowledgeable, couldn't help but ask: "Why can't you drive this car with a car driver's license? Isn't this also a car?"
