The next day, Chen Xing got up early. Captain Pan didn't return to the room until 1:00 in the morning, and Chen Xing knew about it, so he didn't bother him.

I went out for a walk on the beach and looked at the 7 ships that were seized on the dock and in the ship repair yard, all of which were guarded, and Chen Xing didn't get close, and returned to the hotel at about 7:00 o'clock.

I went to the restaurant first, and there were already some sailors from the Shuntian company fleet having breakfast. But the atmosphere is very different, some listless, some smiling. Chen Xing was not familiar with the listless sailors of Russia and Fujian Province, but the smiling ones basically greeted Chen Xing with a smile, and they were all crew members of the Aristotle.

Chen Xing's heart was clear, and he smiled at the smiling crew members one by one.

After breakfast and back in the room, Captain Pan had already gotten up and washed up in the bathroom. Seeing Chen Xing enter the door, he wiped the shaving foam on his face with a towel and said to Chen Xing, "You got up so early, did you have breakfast?"

Chen Xing came to the coffee table, poured himself a glass of water, and replied, "I got up a little early, and I saw that you slept soundly, so I didn't wake you up." I just went for a walk on the edge of the dock and saw that the boats were still being guarded, so I guess they were from the International Court of Justice. ”

Captain Pan walked out of the bathroom and said, "It should be that everyone is removed from the ship, for fear that we will steal the ship?" The Aristotle is guarded in the shipyard, and it is too careful. ”

Chen Xing laughed and said, "How was your chat with everyone last night? I see that you came back quite late." ”

"Well, it's almost, let's talk to a few more people today, and the personnel from Taiwan and Fujian Province will be determined, and then I will communicate with Vasily again. Captain Pan said with a little excitement. His salary has doubled, and he is happy and talks a lot.

"It's not easy to be a sailor now, they don't have much education, it's hard to find other jobs, there are many dangerous accidents at sea, if you hadn't taken over the Aristotle, I don't know when the next job of these people will be determined, and they all have a large family to support. Captain Pan, who was born from the bottom, was very emotional.

"Well, let's hurry up and deal with the matter clearly, so that everyone can go to sea as soon as possible and make money as soon as possible, and you and Vasily will continue to follow up today. After a slight pause, Chen Xing continued: "I have already had breakfast, I will go out to do some errands in a while, and I will come back at noon, you can go to the restaurant to eat." ”

Watching Captain Pan walk out of the room, Chen Xing thought again: If you open a company in Singapore, as the starting point for future development, you will need office space, and Vasily will also be stationed here for management, and the office space and accommodation space must be considered, whether to rent or buy?

His $50 million looks like a lot, but he can't always get in and out. I heard that the tax rate on large income in France is not low, and when all the properties involved in the ambergris transaction are transferred and the transaction is completed, according to Mingyue, there will be about 40% income tax to be paid. If you add in the value of real estate and other items, you have to pay more than $26 million in taxes, and wouldn't you have to lose more than half of your cash all of a sudden?

And he will not always command on the Aristotle in the future, and it will not be so easy to find fish. Although you can't lose money, but the harvest is definitely not as good as before, the profit will not be too high, you can protect everyone's wages and bonuses, a slight surplus is good, that is just a part of your own plan, don't expect fishing to bring too high income.

If you want to develop in the future, you have to continue to raise money.

Take out a ruby from the exquisite Sumeru ring, hold it between the thumb and middle finger, and meet the light outside the window, the dazzling and bright color treasure light flows, which is touching. Chen Xing thought of the $840,000 he got from Yi Yaxuan, although it was only a tentative deal, but it was the fastest way to get cash at present, but he didn't know if Peng Lao could eat too much jewelry.

At present, the most likely ones in my hands are a box of precious jade vessels from the Song Dynasty, a box of ancient Persian gold coins, a box of various colored gems from the Tamil organization in Sri Lanka, and 12 mysterious gems from the old turtle in Mingyue.

The value of these treasures is immeasurable, except for the 12 mysterious gems from the old turtle that I don't want to sell for the time being, the rest can be realized. According to the purchase price of Yi Yaxuan, Chen Xing's conservative valuation should be more than 50 million US dollars, and this gray operation does not need to pay taxes. However, antiques and gemstones, which are rare and expensive, will definitely suppress prices and affect the market if they are all taken out at once and present in one place.

"Hey, while you have time in the morning, let's go talk to Mr. Peng first and see the situation. Chen Xing pondered in his heart while taking out the ordinary trousers, white shirt, and leather shoes he bought in Chinatown the day before yesterday and changed them on, but he didn't wear a tie, except for special circumstances and occasions, he was still not used to restraining himself in dress, but today he was going to Yi Yaxuan again, he felt that it should be formal, and it was a little casual last time. Looking out the window again, there were some signs of cloudy weather, and he took out his suit and put it on his body.

He took more than a dozen antique jade pendants, bracelets, necklaces, 20 ancient Persian gold coins (he only found out afterwards that the box of gold coins was not from the same period, and should be of different value), and 50 gems (30 rubies, 10 sapphires, 10 gems of other colors), and put them in three large sharkskin bags and put them in backpacks.

Chen Xing thought to himself: "I have a lot of things to do today, I have to use a backpack to cover up, in case I need to take something from the ring, it is not too abrupt." ”

Worried about the rain, he borrowed an umbrella from the hotel front desk and put it in his backpack, and Chen Xing walked towards Yi Yaxuan.

Today is Saturday, Singapore government agencies are open from 9:00-12:00 and closed in the afternoon. William Ke came to the office early, finished processing some office documents, and picked up the phone to arrange for the afternoon.

Although the hope is pinned on Alex, some preparations for the unexpected still need to be made. After talking to my father and mother about this last night, I called my aunt again.

All the family members attach great importance to this matter, once William Ke obtains the ability of Tianyan, his status in the family and the resource support he has received will make a qualitative leap, and the position of the Ke family in Singapore will be more stable. Families and circles at their level can better understand what it means to be an outstanding superpower, which cannot be exchanged for any amount of wealth.

William Ke received the family's reply: "Go all out, at any cost." "The Ke family has this economic strength, what they are short of is not money, but ability, the ability to deter.

has been in the society for so many years, and has obtained his current position, and there is a layer of secret identity, coupled with the influence of the family environment, William Ke is still able to handle these people with ease. If all goes well in the afternoon, Alex will be thanked by the Ke family.

It was only 8:30 when he came to Yi Ya Xuan, and it was not open yet, so Chen Xing had to wait at the door.

Peng Ruomei walked from the street and saw Chen Xing in a suit and leather shoes, her heart moved: "What a handsome guy, although he doesn't wear a tie, but his leisurely and free temperament gives people a chic feeling, is it so handsome in formal clothes?" The mature and beautiful girl thought of it with ripples in her heart. The girl's feelings were stirred.

Seeing Peng Ruomei, who was wearing a well-fitting dark green cheongsam, high-heeled stockings, a hand-held exquisite satchel, white and smooth skin with light makeup, Chen Xing's pupils were also shining, and he secretly thought: "The girl of the Peng family is indeed charming and beautiful, and her sexy figure is amazing, especially the classical intellectual temperament, which adds a unique charm to her." It looks so good to wear like this, and when I buy Mingyue a dress like this, she must be as beautiful and moving as Miss Peng. ”

Seeing that Chen Xing was a little distracted looking at herself, Peng Ruomei's cheeks flushed, and she thought, "How can anyone stare at people like this, isn't it ......?" But I didn't know that the young man's mind had flown to his beloved.

patted Chen Xing, Peng Ruomei said softly: "Ah Xing is here, why are you dressed so formally? ”

Chen Xing was also a little embarrassed, hehe laughed, and said, "Ah, it's okay, passing by here, stop by to see Peng Lao, in the store, right?"

Peng Ruomei glanced at Chen Xing and said coquettishly: "Just look at my grandfather?"

Chen Xing coughed, where had he experienced this formation, and hurriedly said: "Look at everything, watch it all, Sister Peng also watch." ”

Peng Ruomei smiled and said, "Okay, I won't tease you, but you are not allowed to call me Sister Peng in the future, it's too vulgar, you want to call me Sister Mei, OK?"

Seeing Chen Xing nodding, he continued: "My grandfather usually lives in the Orchard Road villa, you are in a hurry today, he lived here last night, he should get up, you wait in the reception room, I will call him." ”

The Peng family has settled in Singapore for nearly 200 years, although the people are not prosperous, but the family is well-to-do, and the business is very large, only two gold shops in Singapore account for half of the local jewelry industry, and the gold shops in London are under the care of Peng Ruomei's father, and also occupy a place in the local Chinatown. Although Yi Yaxuan's face is not obvious, in the local jewelry industry, because of the presence of Peng Lao, it is the existence of the leader, and the dignitaries in the upper circle who love antique collections have business dealings with Peng Lao, and they all ask Peng Lao to give him a palm.

Mr. Peng, who was in good spirits, walked into the reception room with a teapot by himself, and his eyes lit up when he saw Chen Xing, who was dressed in a straight suit, and said jokingly: "Ah Xing, you are dressed so handsome today, come on a blind date?"

As she spoke, her eyes drifted to her granddaughter, causing Peng Ruomei to shout: "Grandpa......."

Where did Chen Xing dare to answer this conversation, he quickly stood up and said straight to the point: "Ah, what, Mr. Peng, I want to open a company in Singapore, but I am not familiar with the local area, so I want to come over and learn from you." ”

Hearing Chen Xing get down to business, Peng Lao became serious, sat up straight and asked, "Let's hear it." ”

Talking about the emergency that happened on the fishing boat, and then talking about his own plans, Chen Xing looked at Peng Lao.

The wise old man was so experienced that he immediately asked, "Are you running out of funds, or do you need some other help?"

Chen Xing smiled: "I recently met a friend in Singapore, and other trivial matters should be helpful. But the funds are really tight, I wonder if Peng Lao is satisfied with the gems and other items I sold last time, and whether he has any intention of buying similar items again?"
