Chapter 73: Giving You a Drink of Soup Will Kill You
So far, Gu Kun's several businesses have been negotiated, but the money has not yet arrived.
Strictly speaking, he will not be able to make his net worth officially break through the 30 million yuan mark until October.
The relevant departments of the Huaxia side will buy the money from him for the marine topographic survey data, and it will not be officially received until then.
The account period of the relevant departments is quite long, and people also have to verify the authenticity and reliability of the data, which takes time.
As for the method of verification, a few words will be mentioned, mainly for random selection of points for review.
For example, in a sea area of 50 by 50 nautical miles per unit area, 100 coordinate points are randomly selected and the water depth is measured using methods that are more accurate than sonar sounding, such as the plumb method. The general industry requirement is to spot check 100 points, with an accuracy rate of more than 98%, even if the data is completely valid, you can give money in full. If the accuracy rate is only 95%, the remuneration may be discounted. If it is worse, it will be discounted again until it is given in vain.
These are all professional knowledge related to marine engineering, and it is estimated that most people do not understand and are not interested, so I will not repeat them.
In a word, taking money is a process, and the process is not short.
Compared with the survey fee, the payment for the shipment of sunken cargo will be later, until November. After the money arrived, Gu Kun's net worth exceeded 100 million yuan.
However, the fact that the money has not arrived does not mean that he can't blow up the first, and selectively raise his profile first.
His principles for dealing with things in the future are very clear: white income, as high-profile as you can, you can show off before you get the money, and you must blow this figure several times more if others can believe it.
In this way, in exchange for another income, it is possible to keep a low profile as much as possible, and even completely cover the other income with white income.
And now, it is almost mid-September, counting the days, Gu Kun will soon return to Huaxia to report to the freshmen of Jiaotong University and deal with the details of the transaction with the design institute and relevant departments.
Therefore, before leaving, he decided to talk to Sa Wuyang about the new progress of the port preparations, and by the way, spread the news of making money.
He called Sa Wuyang, only to learn that he was in Kuching.
Gu Kun has to go to Kuching to take a plane anyway, and at the same time send his sister Gu Pan back to Kuching to start school, which is not troublesome.
......
The next night, a mansion on Damai Beach in the north of Kuching City.
Gu Kun had a meeting with the other party in Sa Wuyang's outer house.
As mentioned earlier, most of the beaches in Kuching do not have a good quality of water due to the mud and nutrients washed by the Sarawak River.
However, there are a few exceptions, Damai Beach at the western foot of the mountain in the north of the city, which is a rare beach with clear and clear water.
This is because the main stream of the Sarawak River is the northeast entrance from Kuching, and the mouth of the river is separated to the east by the highest mountain in the vicinity, the Tamai Beach, which is facing west.
It is a famous high-end private resort, more than ten kilometers away from the city. It's just that the scale is too small, so it is not open for business, and it is a place where wealthy people in Kuching buy villas.
Sa Wuyang also has a villa here, just on the halfway slope of the western foot of Shandu Wangshan. That style is like imitating the rich people of Xiangjiang who built villas in the middle of the repulse bay in Taiping Mountain, which is very obvious.
Because it was the first time to meet in this villa, Sawuyang inevitably had to take the guests to visit and show a few words:
"I heard that you have made a fortune again, why don't you consider buying a villa here? It's not that I said you, a multimillionaire must have the body of a multimillionaire. Your sister also lives in Kuching, so she lives in that shabby house......"
Gu Kun responded with a smile: "I'll think about it later, but I'm not busy now." Reading is still close to school. I'll buy it when she graduates. Anyway, the house in Kuching will not go up. ”
Sa Wuyang narrowed his eyes: "You actually bet on the decline of houses in Kuching? Malaysia's economic situation has been so good in recent years, and you still see a decline?"
When the financial turmoil in Southeast Asia comes, we will know.
However, Gu Kun didn't bother to answer, it was hard to say.
He took the opportunity to divert the topic: "Uncle Sa, this time I came to talk to you about something." To tell you the truth, the first phase of my cooperation with the relevant departments of the Chinese side in marine survey was very successful. Not only did it make a lot of money, but it also allowed COSCO to further relax its cooperation in the Lanfang Port project.
Huaxia has now officially agreed to invest in the construction of the port in the form of shares, as long as we agree, they will be able to pay immediately, this is yesterday I contacted them by phone, the other party just informed me, is COSCO East China Company Boss Ye personally made the decision. ”
What Gu Kun said was true.
This is the additional benefit of his rapprochement and friendship with the northern country in defense cooperation.
Prior to this, COSCO had been more ambiguous, preferring to provide some financing help rather than investing in person.
Sa Wuyang was secretly frightened when he heard it.
Xiao Gu, this guy, it's amazing, it's only been a few months, and the right to speak in cooperation with Huaxia has become heavier again.
He couldn't help but be tempted: "Let's not talk about that first, just talk about how much money you made from that ocean survey." ”
Gu Kun bragged without blushing: "Twenty million! In addition, I have rented another boat and am going to buy one soon, to expand the scale of cooperation in this business, and there are about 10 million or 20 million, which can also be obtained soon in the next quarter!"
In fact, he hasn't received a penny, and he only has more than 10 million yuan, and he has to wait for more than a month. However, he is confident that he will blow the bull out in advance.
Even if Sa Wuyang didn't believe it, he wanted to check, and when he found out, Gu Kun's cattle had all been realized.
Blowing a cow that you are about to be able to do is not called bragging.
"It turned out to be such a large amount of cooperation...... It's all done this far. Sa Wuyang unconsciously thought that Gu Kun's credibility was a little higher.
And he is not jealous, because he is well aware of his abilities and pounds.
If Gu Kun relied on foreign trade monopoly to earn tens of millions, it would be different, and it might affect the alliance between Sa Wuyang and him. But scientific survey Sa Wuyang didn't understand it in the first place, so there was nothing to be angry about.
"What are the latest conditions for COSCO?"
Gu Kun: "They are willing to vigorously support the bulk carrier transit business here after the completion of Lanfang Port in the future, and give priority to moving all the bulk carriers they operate on the Malacca route to us for transit."
The price is that they will pay three-quarters of the capital for the construction of the port and demand the formation of a joint venture company, in which they will own 51 percent. ”
Sa Wuyang was stunned for a moment: "I said financing support before, but this directly becomes a desire to control? ”
Gu Kun persuaded: "You can't think like that, they didn't promise to give priority to the bulk carriers on the Malacca route of the East China Company." Only by letting them occupy a large share and share the majority of the profits of port operations can they be willing to give priority to the steady stream of cargo ships. This is the case in international practice.
We are only a small country of more than 80,000 people, and even if we build a port on our land, why should we compete with a country with a foreign trade market of 1.3 billion people for the dominance of shipping and port affairs? Uncle Sa, if you look a little farther, if they leak some soup for us to drink, we will be able to drink it to death. ”
