Shi Zhijian put down his coffee and looked up at the people in the hall. In the VIP hall, there were Xu Shiwen, Xu Sanshao, Zeng Wenju, Wei Charlie, Hu Juncai and Liang Youcai. Everyone had different expressions at this time.
"I know it will be difficult to borrow so many ships at once. After all, your company has other shipping business to handle." Shi Zhijian said calmly: "But I am very sincere in cooperating with your company. It will last for up to three months. Both parties
A win-win situation, I will give you enough rental fees, and if nothing else happens, you can earn at least tens of millions!"
Whoosh! Everyone gasped.
Ten million?!
Such a huge profit was enough to surprise everyone present, with a look of astonishment on their faces.
Xu Shiwen's eyes flickered uncertainly, as if he was a little tempted.
"Shi Zhijian, are you kidding? Do you want to rent them all? Do you know how much it will cost to rent all the ships of Xu Shipping?" Before Xu Shiwen could speak, Zeng Wenju, who was following him, couldn't help but said.
Zeng Wenju and Shi Zhijian were "old enemies". They had had problems with Shi Zhijian before. At this time, they sarcastically said, "Even if you are a Hong Kong tycoon now with a net worth of hundreds of millions, you can't just talk nonsense. What if we stop other businesses and just serve you
The service, in turn, the rental fee and so on are in vain, who is responsible?"
Xu Shiwen did not scold Zeng Wenju for his rudeness, but even deliberately asked him to play a bad role in order to find out Shi Zhijian's real background.
Shi Zhijian looked at Charlie Wei with a strange smile on his face.
Charlie Wei seemed to have been touched by some kind of function, and immediately retorted to Zeng Wenju: "This is very simple, just sign the contract and it's OK! There is no legal basis for empty words. I see that Mr. Shi has also brought a lawyer here, so he must have considered this aspect!"
Zeng Wenju didn’t want to be stolen by Charlie Wei: “What’s wrong with signing a contract but not signing it? You can break the contract even if you sign it! Now he wants to rent not one or two cargo ships, but all the ships of our shipping company! Do you know the consequences of this?
How serious is it? If something happens, who will be responsible?"
"If something happens, I will be responsible!" The person who spoke was clearly Xu Shiwen.
Zeng Wenju looked at his boss in surprise.
Charlie Wei showed a proud smile on his face.
Xu Sanshao also looked at his elder brother.
Xu Shiwen looked at Shi Zhijian with burning eyes and said: "You are my third brother's friend. This deal is obviously advantageous to me. If I don't have the courage to take it, I will be so sorry for my father! But Ajian, I need to remind you
, the cost of renting all our more than 100 boats is not a small amount, you must be mentally prepared, and I will not break the rules and not charge a deposit because of the special relationship between you and our family; on the contrary, the deposit must be doubled! I hope
You can understand what I mean!"
"I wonder how much the deposit is?" Shi Zhijian asked with a smile.
"One hundred and thirty ships, with a minimum of 100,000 yuan per ship! Doubled, it's 2.6 million Hong Kong dollars!" Xu Shiwen smiled: "This price is actually very favorable, even if you don't choose our Xu family,
But if you choose the Dong family, the Bao family, or even the Zhao family, the price will only be higher, not less!"
Xu Shiwen is right. Among the four major shipping kings in Hong Kong, Shi Zhijian has the best relationship with the Xu family. If Shi Zhijian cannot even accept the price offered by the Xu family, let alone other shipping companies.
In addition, the reason why Xu Shiwen wants to double the deposit is to give an explanation to the company's board of directors. After all, renting out all the ships and stopping all business is like a big gamble. If the gamble wins, everyone is happy. If they lose the gamble, the Xu family's century-old foundation will be very difficult.
It might be ruined!
"To be honest, it would have been easy for me to get two to three million, but I'm sorry, I need money urgently now, so I can't promise you such a deposit! To be precise, I want to spend every penny on
On the blade!" Shi Zhijian exhaled heavily, looked at Xu Shiwen and explained.
Shi Zhijian calculated that in addition to paying off foreign debts with the 50 million cash he had withdrawn from the stock market, he now has a total of 30 million on hand. Part of the 30 million was used as the start-up capital for the construction of the Wharf Port, and the other part
Every penny was used to acquire the Korean Steel Company. If two to three million were to be used as a deposit for Xu Shipping, it would be a bit stretched, which he did not want to see.
Hearing this, Xu Shiwen spread his hands and said, "Ajian, I have always admired you, but business is business. If you can't pay that much deposit, it will be difficult for me to do it."
The third young master Xu next to him was about to speak when Xu Shiwen glanced at him and said: "Third brother, your money is also the Xu family's money! You can help your friends, but enough is enough!"
Xu Sanshao shut up. He originally wanted to help Shi Zhijian, but now that his elder brother Xu Shiwen said this, he could only take a step back. After all, the relationship between the two had just eased, and he was unwilling to destroy the tacit understanding that was finally established.
At this moment, everyone looked at Shi Zhijian again, with expressions full of various meanings.
Shi Zhijian finally understood the meaning of "a penny can beat a hero".
In his huge plan, the small deposit almost made him fail.
The question is, is he going to find two to three million from Biandu now? Should he call Lei Luo? Give it to a lame man? Or ask his old friend Saipan for a mortgage?!
Even if Saipan agrees to the loan, it will probably have to wait until tomorrow. The problem is that time is urgent now. He is in a hurry to sign an agreement with Xu Shiwen, rush to send Xu's cargo ship to South Korea, and rush to acquire the steel company in South Korea.
Mountains of steel shipped back!
These are all crucial aspects of his plan and must not go wrong!
Shi Zhijian still had a smile on his face, but he was quickly thinking about where to get the money. At this time, someone said weakly: "Ahem, I'm sorry, can I say a few words?"
Everyone looked up and saw that the person speaking was the famous "street lawyer" Hu Juncai!
Everyone knows about Hu Juncai's previous "street fighting" experience, and they don't have a good impression of this guy who once betrayed Shi Zhijian and fought against the street all the way to the end.
Hong Kong people are very traditional, and those who betray their masters are generally not accepted by the public, so the look in Hu Juncai's eyes is full of contempt and disdain.
Under the contemptuous and disdainful eyes of everyone, Hu Juncai subconsciously shrank his neck and smiled sarcastically at the others. Then he scratched the back of his head and looked at Shi Zhijian and said, "Mr. Shi, can I say a few words?"
The reason why Shi Zhijian re-appointed Hu Juncai was not only because of his excellent professional lawyer knowledge, but also because of the strong recommendation of his elder sister Shi Yufeng. Who can make mistakes? He is still a good boy who should correct his mistakes.
Shi Zhijian didn't know whether Hu Juncai was a good kid. He only knew that he used to be very easy to use. Now taking him out was just a warm-up before the game.
"If you have anything to say, just say it..." Shi Zhijian picked up the coffee and took a sip, feeling slightly cold.
Hu Juncai lowered his head and did not dare to look at Shi Zhijian's sharp eyes as he looked at him, and murmured hurriedly: "Sister Yufeng and I have been doing vegetable wholesale business recently - especially during the Spring Festival, the business is the hottest, and I can make some money..."
Shi Zhijian didn't expect that this guy would say such nonsense at this time and on this occasion. Do you want to take credit?
Others also looked at Hu Juncai with funny faces, thinking that this guy was mentally ill, and he was still talking about irrelevant things!
"I know you are capable. Let's talk carefully about it some time. The vegetable business is also very promising!" Shi Zhijian was a little impatient and said casually.
Not long ago, Liang Youcai and Hu Juncai had "turned a feud into friendship." He didn't want to see him make a fool of himself, so he gently touched his arm and whispered: "The boss said that I have time to talk to you, please shut up!"
Hu Juncai didn't seem to hear it, and said boldly: "That me...I didn't mean that..."
He hadn't done anything with Shi Zhijian for so long that he wasn't used to it, and he was still trying to explain.
Zeng Wenju, who considered himself the "uncle of the country", saw that Hu Juncai had the guts to babble on such an occasion. He immediately said in annoyance: "Why are you just a vegetable seller running out to talk? Can you still help me?"
Your boss offered three million? How funny!"
"Ahem, actually that's what I wanted to say! Three million, I'll pay for it!"
"Uh, what?" Not only Zeng Wenju was shocked, but Shi Zhijian also looked at Hu Juncai in shock.
Hu Juncai scratched his head in embarrassment: "Sister Yufeng and I have a monopoly on the supply of vegetables to the entire Hong Kong barracks, and we made three million during the Spring Festival alone!"
"Ahem!" Zeng Wenju almost choked to death!
Xu Shiwen, Xu Sanshao, and Wei Charlie stared wide-eyed.
Liang Youcai also looked at Hu Juncai in shock.
Shi Zhijian was even more dumbfounded, thinking to himself: Is it really that profitable to sell vegetables?
Hu Juncai felt even more embarrassed when everyone saw him, and said weakly again: "Actually, I didn't know you could make so much money selling vegetables! I used to look down on those vegetable vendors, thinking it was too hard for them to earn even a penny, but now I know
, The vegetable business is the most profitable! Everyone needs to eat, and vegetables are indispensable for eating. I will make money every time I eat! But Sister Yufeng has more shares than me, so I only make a small amount!"
Shi Zhijian rolled his eyes: "How much does my sister earn?"
Hu Juncai swallowed his saliva and said: "I looked at the recent accounts, and there are still five million in the past six months!"
"Five million?" Shi Zhijian stared at Hu Juncai with wide eyes and said, "You mean my sister made five million by selling vegetables in half a year?!"
"Yes, Sister Yufeng is now called the 'Vegetable Queen' of Hong Kong and Kowloon. Don't you know?"
"Ahem!" Shi Zhijian could choke to death at this nickname.
Others also looked at each other, the vegetable queen of Hong Kong and Kowloon? She seems to be very awesome!
Shi Zhijian said no more, "Tell me, sister, I want to borrow her five million."
After saying these words, Shi Zhijian turned to look at Xu Shiwen, his eyes as sharp as a falcon: "Two million and a half million? I'll give you a round number, a three million deposit! Sign the contract and pay! Can't get it?!"
Xu Shiwen stood up from his seat, buttoned his suit, and shook hands with Shi Zhijian: "It's a pleasure to work together."
"The last request, if you want to get money, be tight-lipped! Especially watch your uncle-in-law's mouth!" Shi Zhijian held Xu Shiwen's hand with one hand, put his right hand around his shoulder, gave him a hug, and whispered in his ear.
.
Xu Shiwen frowned and glanced sideways at Zeng Wenju.
Zeng Wenju was twirling his whiskers with a displeased look on his face. When he saw Xu Shiwen looking over, he quickly put on a flattering smile.
Xu Shiwen suddenly made a decision.
…
After a simple meal in the VIP room, Xu Shiwen and Shi Zhijian separated.
Shi Zhijian and Xu Sanshao had other things to discuss. Xu Shiwen once again told Xu Sanshao to go home for dinner when he had time. He also said that his wife had learned to make a lot of delicious soups and would show off her talents when the time came.
For the two brothers to do this, they can just laugh away their grudges.
After leaving the VIP room, Xu Shiwen first asked Charlie Wei to pick up the car, while he stood at the door wearing a windbreaker, took out a cigarette and bit it in his mouth.
Seeing this, Zeng Wenju hurriedly stepped forward to help light the fire, then put out the match and threw it on the ground, saying: "Young Master, I'm not telling you, you are too impulsive this time! I saw that Shi Zhijian and the third young master were looking at each other during the dinner.
Maybe they are singing a double act! And there is Hu Juncai, who is on the street and can make millions selling vegetables? He is a liar! He is full of nonsense!"
After a pause, he then said: "Young Master, I am your uncle-in-law, not an outsider! I am very good to you, but you must listen to me and don't believe those ghosts!"
Xu Shiwen bit his cigarette, blew out a beautiful smoke ring and looked at Zeng Wenju with a smile: "Of course I believe you! How could I not believe you? Uncle wife, you make me sad by saying this!"
"Really? That's good!" Zeng Wenju was ecstatic.
"So I have something very important for you to do now."
"What's the matter, I will definitely help you!" Zeng Wenju vowed.
"The branch in the Philippines has had a labor dispute recently and needs a smart and capable person to help resolve it."
"Uh, labor dispute? Have I been overqualified in the past?"
"How could it be? Uncle Wife, you are the cornerstone of our country. I have no choice but to send you there. You are so capable that you can be worth one to a hundred?" Xu Shiwen sighed, "As you know, I am planning to vigorously develop the Philippines.
Direction, there must be a fortune teller to assist you, and you are the fortune teller in my mind!"
Am I a prime minister?
Zeng Wen raised his eyebrows and smiled, almost dancing, "Young Master, what you said is right! I am a talented person! I have had ambitions since I was a child, and I only hope to help you soar to the sky and become a king! I didn't expect that you would finally become a king now!
You understand me!"
Seeing his wife's uncle Zeng Wenju's blood boiling with enthusiasm, Xu Shiwen nodded and said: "Not only do I understand you, I also want to reuse you! Are you going to the Philippines?"
"go!"
"Very good!" Xu Shiwen said happily, "I'm waiting for your triumphant return!"
"Young Master, wait for me!"
At this time, Charlie Wei came over with his car. Zeng Wenju raised his face with his nostrils pointing to the sky, looking like a villain who had succeeded.
Charlie Wei was puzzled.
After he got into the car, Xu Shiwen whispered to him: "Stop the business in the Philippines! Pull out the funds!"
"Huh?" Charlie Wei was stunned and couldn't help but turn his head to glance at Zeng Wenju, who was still in high spirits.
Zeng Wenju didn't know what the eldest young master and Wei Charlie were talking about. He curled his lips and said proudly: "Watch what I do? Just do whatever the eldest young master tells you to do! You're on the street!"
