Chapter 354: It's a Big Guy

Of course, the intention is easy to sign, as a Harvard club where business elites gather, there is even a template, Augustus got up again and beckoned a handsome guy who was drinking with his sister to come over, Zheng Jianguo knew that this was a barrister, so under his witness, Zheng Jianguo signed a letter of intent with Anthony.

Augustus raised the glass in front of him: "Congratulations—"

"Thank you, Augustus~"

Anthony also picked up the wine glass in front of him, poured it into his mouth and put it down, and looked at Zheng Jianguo with a pair of still misty eyes: "Zheng, what are you doing?"

"Well, I'm an emergency room resident—"

Looking at the half cup of brandy in his hand, Zheng Jianguo put it to his mouth and said lightly, Anthony suddenly had a sudden look on his face: "Oh, you are the good student from the Republic-"

"Yes, good student. ”

Seeing that this goods were getting more and more hanging, Zheng Jianguo didn't want to talk to him more, but when he didn't want to deal with him, Anthony seemed to have some curiosity about him: "I don't know which emergency room you are a resident doctor in, and the salary you receive can copy the Titanic?"

"Hehe, this is personal privacy, the kind that is inconvenient to disclose-"

Hearing that someone inquired about his treatment, Zheng Jianguo became more and more impressed by him, but fortunately, Anthony was also well-informed, and after chatting a few words, he said: "Although the shipbuilding industry is now lacking orders due to the shrinking of the global shipping market, considering that the displacement of the Titanic 2 you want to build is more than 40,000 tons, if I remember correctly, it is 46,000 tons."

Crumb, who remade "." last year, came in and asked for the price, so that's why I know the approximate budget, the ship is going to be exactly replicated according to the standard 1:1, it will cost about $400 million, of course, and this does not include the decoration inside-"

Since the beginning of the Age of Discovery, there have been many shipwrecks every year, but the sinking of the Titanic is more special, it hit an iceberg on its maiden voyage, which directly led to the death of more than 1,500 people.

As the shipwreck with the largest number of casualties in peacetime, the sinking of the Titanic has become the subject of attention of film and television directors and producers.

And 1979's "." is the latest TV documentary, in which the delicate techniques already have the feeling in Zheng Jianguo's memory, but the most important love is missing.

This is not only the reason why Zheng Jianguo wants to rebuild, but also the reason why Anthony can know the approximate budget, so even if he has an approximate psychological price for the budget of Titanic 2 in his heart? Was he still shocked by the number? $400 million is not counting the interior renovation, that is to say, it is just the price of an empty ship: "It should cost a lot of money to renovate, right?"

"Compared with the cost, it is not much, about 350 million. ”

Looking at Zheng Jianguo's cheeks, there is nothing unusual? Did Anthony turn his eyes to look at Augustus next to him? He didn't expect this number to make the other party not even frown? After holding the hand of the wine glass, he turned the wine glass and sat up straight and said, "Since we are our own people, then I am not afraid to say that this price is very kind?" Although because the shipping industry as a whole has fallen into decline, the operating rate of major shipyards is insufficient? But what you're going to build is the Titanic, or a 1:1 rebuild, and this offer is still relatively cheap—"

"Is the shipping industry in decline now? I remember seeing reports of the world's largest oil tanker being built the other day—"

Zheng Jianguo blinked after a certain thought flashed in his mind, and when Anthony heard it, he raised the wine glass in his hand, saluted him and took a sip: "The Porthos built by Sumitomo Sumitomo Heavy Machinery Seihama Shipyard in Yokosuka was originally owned by the Greek Mercury Shipping Company, and the original design tonnage was a 440,000-ton oil tanker.

The current owner is OOCL Container Line on Hong Kong Island? The name has also been changed to the Oriental Giant, and the tonnage of the modified will reach 565,000 tons? And if it could really be launched on time? This will be the largest oil tanker in the world – but I am not optimistic about the future of this ship. ”

"Because you see a decrease in tanker orders from the shipyard?"

Instantly understand the purpose of the other party's words? The picture in Zheng Jianguo's mind is much clearer? Relying on the information explosion environment in his previous life, he had vaguely remembered that the Oriental Giant that Anthony said should belong to the family on Hong Kong Island, but he couldn't confirm it at this time: "The price of oil is so high now?" You should be able to make money on a trip, right?"

"The fact that the Porthos has been renamed the Oriental Giant speaks volumes. ”

Anthony pretended to raise the wine glass in his hand again, Zheng Jianguo finally understood what he was saying: "Yes, the original oil tanker that was the world's number one was resold before it was launched, so it must be that the original owner's capital turnover is not enough, and if the owner of a fleet who orders the world's largest oil tanker has no capital turnover, then he can only be in big trouble——"

"Yes, Zheng, your business acumen is still qualified, you can figure this out in an instant, I didn't expect you to have a good business acumen outside of the medical field, I have some confidence in your order——"

Anthony nodded slowly and said, Zheng Jianguo also experienced the potential role of this club for the first time, everyone is an elite in a certain direction, and pointed out the current decline in the shipping industry in a few words, but when he remembered that he still wanted to build a salvage ship, he felt that this time he came was worth the money: "Anthony, if I want to transform a salvage ship, do you have any good suggestions?"

"Salvage ship, what do you want to fish? Underwater treasure? This can be bought cheaply and modified by yourself, if you give me the order for Titanic 2, I can help you change it for free-"

Contrary to Zheng Jianguo's expectations, when he pretended not to care and said the salvage ship, Anthony swept away his previous slightly drunk appearance, stared at him with brown eyes, and asked like a cannon: "Where do you want to fish? Do you want to find the Titanic? You- really surprised me." ”

"Yes—you've surprised me, too. ”

With a slightly stunned look on his cheeks, Zheng Jianguo was really surprised, he really asked tentatively, but he didn't expect this thing to really guess his thoughts.

You have to know this idea, but Zheng Jianguo didn't reveal it when he faced Zhu Jinghong at that time, and immediately glanced at Augustus, who was also stunned next to him, and continued to speak: "Yes, Anthony, I want to fish out the Titanic, so that my Titanic 2 can play the greatest value." ”

"Yes, if you fish out the Titanic, then just by re-going the route you should have taken every week on the 2nd, I believe you will make a lot of money, your idea is too genius, Augustus, originally I was not optimistic that he could pass our test-"

Anthony yelled at Zheng Jianguo with excited hands on the table, and then finally turned to Augustus next to him to say a few words, but Augustus quickly interrupted him and said: "Zheng has passed the test of the club, and the directors and managers have agreed to give him a home." ”

"Well, yes, Zheng is so smart, you old guys will definitely not let it go. ”

Anthony yelled and resumed his previous drunken appearance again, then turned his head to look at Zheng Jianguo, and said with a look of embarrassment on his face: "If I had money, I would have immediately invested in your No. 2, Augustus, don't you have a share?" I heard that you made a lot of money - well, it seems that Zheng also earned it with you?"

"Zheng, do you have any plans to start a family business in New York?"

Seeing that Anthony was about to start a train after speaking, Augustus pinched the cigar in his mouth and said, Zheng Jianguo smiled and said: "Speaking of buying a family business, I would like to buy a hotel to come down, but considering that there are no management talents in my hands, this is my decision that I have not made up my mind." ”

"Oh, that's a good idea, Big John has a cousin, who used to be the Duke of Manchester's butler, and now the old duke has sold the family's castle in order to pay off his debts, Zheng If you need a butler, I think you can consider it, LBS School of Business Management." ”

Augustus knew that Zheng Jianguo had registered the Umbrella Group with Boston as its headquarters, and this was the reason why he asked before to buy a family business, after all, if Zheng Jianguo was not like the Chinese a hundred years ago, all the money he earned was sent home, then he wanted the other party to settle down here: "Which hotel do you want to buy?

"Is this guy really that rich?"

Anthony was stunned, but Zheng Jianguo didn't hide it from Augustus, so he waved the biggest butterfly wings: "How do you feel about the Hyatt Regency? I heard that this hotel has obtained a tax-free permit from New York City?"

"Zheng, you're very well-informed, the Hyatt Regency Hotel has been in the limelight lately, hey, isn't this the place where your gastroenterology conference was held? That boss got a tax exemption permit from New York City, but I heard that he didn't contribute much money himself, and the money to buy a house and renovate it was all from a bank loan——"

Although Augustus didn't pay attention to the hunger happening under his nose, he knew a lot about the gossip about this hotel, because the frequency of recent reports from this hotel was almost as frequent as Camille Small's:" If you want that hotel and no one has it, you can also go to the bank to buy the debt, and then let him work for you, after all, now that the benchmark interest rate has risen again, the bank is afraid that it also wants to recover the loan and then release it, which is equivalent to you buying the hotel property and letting him take care of it for you, of course, he will also make some hard-earned money——"

"But then it's still making a wedding dress for the East King—"

Zheng Jianguo wanted to fan this old boy with one wing, instead of spending money to praise the other party, but the next moment he came back to his senses: "It's okay to let this old boy swell?" Well, if the relationship between himself and this product is so good that it is intimate, I don't know if this product can be selected again - it is said that this product is the best way to avoid taxes in the world?"

Zheng Jianguo doesn't have a lot of resentment against the king of the east, and he doesn't have any resentment against the presidents of the entire United States, if he had it in his previous life, it would disappear after he had money in this life, those who open their mouths and accuse others of the interests of others are greater than the sky, you don't rely on wages to eat, right?

The world is bustling, all for profit, and the world is bustling, all for profit.

This is the words that have been written into the historical records two thousand years ago, Zheng Jianguo barely mixed up food and clothing in his previous life, if there is any idea of interest, that is, the category of food and clothing, and the additional resentment is also a little critical attack when he bought a wedding house for his son.

Since coming to the United States, Zheng Jianguo has a clear understanding of the interests of the world and the interests of the country, of course, this is mainly due to the explosion of information in his previous life, so everyone thinks about the interests they represent from their own perspectives, just as Augustus said before: "On behalf of your group-"

Zheng Jianguo is a member of the Republic, this is his perception of himself, but in front of Augustus, he is the representative of the Chinese community, referring to the elaboration of the reasons behind the Chinese Exclusion Act on the road before coming, he knows that Augustus is tricking himself to stay, for the countless Chinese represented behind him, this is not simply the Chinese in the United States, but the Chinese all over the world.

If it was a real 19-year-old boy, Zheng Jianguo should have drifted by this time, after all, he could become a representative of the global Chinese at the age of 19, and this honor was enough to make anyone forgetful.

However, it was precisely because of Zheng Jianguo's profound analysis of the Chinese Exclusion Act that he knew that all this was caused by the weakness of the Qing Dynasty at that time, and without a strong enough country to back it up, the Chinese were rootless duckweed.

Without the glory of the rising Tang Empire, Wang Xuance would not be able to destroy a country by himself, of course, Zheng Jianguo would not talk to Augustus about this, these people are friends in his opinion, friends who have a good relationship to make money: "If you have a debt, forget it, I'm afraid that he will run away if I buy it——"

Thinking of Dongwang's understanding of the law, Zheng Jianguo quickly dispelled the idea of establishing a friendship partnership with this product, but as his decision was made, Augustus pinched his cigar and tilted his head and smiled gently: "If you don't want it, then don't do it." ”

Just when Anthony also laughed, she didn't expect Delia next to her to lean over and say something in Anthony's ear, so she saw Anthony look at her in surprise, turned her head to look at Zheng Jianguo and said, "Delia said that if you want to buy a property, you can consider a property in her father's company, about 65 million US dollars." ”

"65 million?

Zheng Jianguo suddenly came to his senses, he originally wanted to buy and buy in New York, especially in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, as early as after he knew that the housing prices on Hong Kong Island had increased several times in the past two years, he remembered that the house that Bruce bought had appreciated again.

So after that, Zheng Jianguo asked people to inquire about the housing prices of the Upper East Side of Lower Manhattan in the past 100 years, and immediately faced the compound annual growth rate of 5%: "It should be a big guy, right?"

Light blue eyes swept across Zheng Jianguo's face, and Delia smiled charmingly: "It's a big guy who doesn't include the price of the land, New York State Building-"
