Chapter 116: Harbor
Sergei didn't know much about the Far East, and judging from his perception, it was too barren.
Except for the last time I went there to look for Chaga Pora, I didn't know much about it.
What to do?
Sergei thought about it for a long time and didn't have an answer, and he really couldn't think of a way anyway, so it was better to call Woolf out for a drink and relax.
He gave Woolf his doubts, who laughed and laughed at himself, "Are we short of money?"
He shook his head when he heard this, I don't lack anything, but I don't lack money!
Woolf took a sip of wine, which was the three bears with a super delicate taste, and enriched his spirit, and then continued: "If you have money, you can do it! Professional things are done by professional people, and we only need to know the result." ”
"Let's team up and go over there, shall we?" Sergey asked rhetorically.
"You have to go, you know, you are the person in charge here, I am only in charge of trade. But then again, what will happen to my trading company if I go?"
"Don't forget, Gordien Pharmaceutical has always been short of raw materials!"
...... "Can you still drink well, why don't you open which pot to mention, I'm afraid, he continued to take a sip of wine, and then nodded.
Sergey was overjoyed, and said cheerfully: "Let's go together, first decide the location of the port." ”
"We don't have enough, we have to find a port designer to go with us. Woolf said categorically: "I think what if the location is not suitable after the location is chosen? ”
"That's it! You're a clever man!" said he didn't forget to praise his little friend, and raised his glass to touch Woolf.
After drinking, he was afraid that he would forget, so he hurriedly asked the secretary to do the things of finding the design unit and the expedition team, the sooner the better!
The next day, three uninvited guests came to Sergey's office, and the secretary introduced: This is the port survey and design company.
Their leader, Simonov, explained to Sergei that the port is a transport hub located on the coast of the ocean, with land and water transport equipment, for the safe entry and exit of ships and berths.
It is not only a gathering point and hub for water and land transportation, but also a distribution center for foreign trade import and export materials, as well as a place for ships to berth, load and unload goods, get on and off passengers, and replenish supplies.
He continued to popularize science: When we choose a port construction site, we not only need to consider certain natural conditions, superior geographical location, and vast water and land areas, but also must choose the necessary berth water depth, good meteorological and other conditions.
He also emphasized that ports are transportation infrastructure, which has the characteristics of large investment scale and long construction period.
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Sergei meaningfully, and then said slowly: "Therefore, investors must have strong financial strength. ”
When Sergei heard this, he smiled indifferently and motioned for him to continue.
"Ports are an industry with a high degree of specialization, so investors need to have professional capabilities in port technology, operation and management, business channels, customer relations, products and services, etc. ”
Sergei nodded, disappreciating, I don't have the right talent on my side, find the big boss, he will find a way. I just have to do my thing, and the rest that I can't solve can only be handled by himself.
"Why don't you come with us, and we'll go and see where the ports are suitable. After Sergei finished speaking, he seemed to remember something, and said embarrassedly: "Well, it may be a little cold over there, you need to prepare clothes at -40°." ”
Simonov was a little surprised, and defended: "Sir, I have already said that natural conditions are especially important for the construction of ports. ”
"Let's go on a field trip first, by the way, you need to have relevant professionals. Tell Kuprin when it's ready, and I'll leave at any time. Sergey said without question.
He is under a lot of pressure now, after all, he has invested half a billion dollars in rent, and he is afraid that the money will be wasted.
After Kuprin saw off Simonov and his party, another group came, and he introduced Sergey: "This is the leader of the expedition, Mr. Torakiev!"
"Please sit down, the company's side mainly entrusts you with the investigation of various resources in the Far East and West North Asia. As he spoke, he stood up and pointed at the map of the Far East.
Torakiev was a little surprised and a little excited, this is a big project, and hurriedly said: "Sir, if you need to find out everything, this time is estimated to be relatively long, and the preliminary estimate is two to three years!"
"No, it needs to be accelerated, and I need a final report in two years at the latest. Of course, during this period, you can also give me timely feedback on the species and quantities you have identified. "I'm so prepared, don't worry, funding is not a problem. "Besides, because you're in the field all the time, I can't send someone with you. You will need to bring your own equipment and tools. ”
"These are no problems, I will make a detailed quotation on behalf of the company when I go back, and hand it over to you when the time comes, if you agree here, we will sign the contract, and as soon as the contract is signed, we will leave immediately. Torakiev said excitedly, he has not encountered such a commissioned project much, and the preliminary estimate is that the quotation will be hundreds of millions.
Sergei nodded, indicating that he was aware of the matter, and Torakiev hurriedly said goodbye and left.
Not long after Sergei sat down, Kuprin hurriedly delivered another red-headed document.
This is a joint document issued by several government departments in the polar bear area.
The article said: Due to our work mistakes, the port of Vladivostok in the Far East is the main port for the export of goods in the Far East of China, an important fishing port and a military port, and has an important strategic position for our country, so the land leased to your company should not be included here.
We have re-notarized it at the notary office, and the city and port of Vladivostok should be deducted from the plot of land leased to your company. I hope to know, first attach a copy of the latest contract.
At the same time, we are very grateful for the food and meat products provided by your company, and we are willing to pay the currency according to the purchase price.
Sergei hurriedly summoned Kuprin and asked him to check the situation in the port of Vladivostok.
Willing to pay the currency according to the purchase price? Sergei took this document and asked the finance department to quickly calculate it and see how much money it can recover.
Kuprin walked in with the information after a while, the original Vladivostok port was put into use in 1983, the existing berth water depth of 11 meters of 320 meters long container terminal line, there are 16 routes, of which 10 are container routes, the current annual throughput is about 10 million tons. The only fly in the ointment is that the port freezes in winter, and icebreakers are relied upon to assist in navigation.
Sergei asked Kuprin to reply to the man who sent the red-headed document: his original intention was to lease not all the cities and the existing port of Vladivostok, especially since he knew that this port was a military port, and completely dispelled the idea of taking it for himself. But the Northwestern Glia Railway has to make it easy for us, and we are willing to pay for all the transportation costs.
