Chapter 613: It's a Cool Autumn (Third Update)
Three meters away from them is the yacht's cabin. The cabin is five meters long, with fixed tables and chairs on both sides, and transparent glass windows on the side, where people can sit and chat while watching the sea view.
There is a walkway leading to the cockpit in front of you, with toilets and lounges on either side of the walkway, as well as a simple kitchenette.
"Today's weather is really good! There are more and more yachts in Xiangjiang, and one day I have to ask for an interview to see if I can build my own, which is a good business." ”
"Yachts are something that a few people can afford. ”
"Not necessarily, I see that there are more and more people who have money now, even if they can't afford it, it's good to rent it, eh... Speaking of Xiangjiang's economy, the Bank of China has made great contributions! Governor Wang is expected to be promoted in the future!"
"Hehe, what's the rise, speaking of which, yesterday's weather was also very good, rare!"
"Looks like tomorrow's weather should be the same!"
"On such a good day, coming out to take a boat to breathe, compared to being in the house, it is much stronger!"
"Haha!"
"Haha!"
"Before, I thought it was President Wang Xing who made an appointment, but after a long time, it turned out that Uncle Zhao wanted to see me!"
"Ahem......"
"When did Uncle Zhao get so close to President Wang?" Dong Dashao asked with a smile, looking at Li Fuzhao who was talking less with a relaxed and calm look.
Li Fuzhao also laughed, sneering silently.
He looked at Dong Jianhua with two dark circles under his eyes and smiled haha, his eyes were bloodshot and his eyes were like electricity, and he was very impatient - your big eye bags would have betrayed you a long time ago!
He didn't like Dong Jianhua's appearance, not out of any personal grudges, the Dong family was withdrawn to Xiangjiang with the Kuomintang to develop, and it was not the same as the Li family, a local native, and personal relations were generally not good.
The main reason is that Li Fuzhao thinks that this kid's ability is too ugly, the conditions are so good, his father left a huge business, and he studied in the United States for many years to learn advanced management experience, but a few days after the old man passed away, he lost his ancestral business like this,... This, how can such a poor performance make Li Fuzhao look down on it......
What's even more annoying is that you're still sitting like an old dog after all the fire is burning? How old are you?
"Ah Hua, taste this!" Li Fuzhao smiled and gestured to the steel pot on the table, since it can still be pretended to be like this, let's try Li Yiming's new invention.
"What is this?"
"Try it!" Li Fuzhao took one first and ate it himself first, to show that it was non-toxic and harmless.
The speed of the boat was not low, both of them were a little shaky, Wang Ji stretched out his hand to hold the pot, he knew what it was, he was not ready to eat, it was really his teeth that could not stand it.
Dong Jianhua smiled, took a bite lightly, and the corners of his mouth instantly tightened, what kind of thing is this?
Looking at Li Fuzhao's concerned expression, Dong Jianhua instantly changed his mouth to a happy twist shape: "Hey, this is delicious, I haven't eaten it...... Is it Maxim's?"
"It's not Maxim's, this is a new type of mooncake that I want to make this year, with ice cream filling, refreshing and fire-reducing. ”
Li Fuzhao said with a smile, finish eating unhurriedly, following Li Yiming can increase intelligence, but the energy is very wasted, and he has to stuff something into his mouth from time to time.
"Ice cream...... Dong Jianhua chewed slowly in his mouth, his face darkened, he glanced at the filling, and unconsciously looked outside the cabin door from the corner of his eye, and nodded vaguely, "It tastes good,....."
Li Fuzhao basked slightly, saw Dong Jianhua's obvious unwillingness to eat, and continued to mend the knife: "Ah Hua, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, this year is different from previous years, the weather is less rainy and dry, and the people are angry......
Hearing Li Fuzhao talk about the Mid-Autumn Festival, Dong Jianhua was already in a bad mood, and then when he heard the back, the smile on his face couldn't be squeezed out.
OOCL is in crisis right now, and he can't even pay his normal salary this month, and it is estimated that he will not be able to give out some New Year's gifts like he did in his early years.
"I know that the situation at OOCL is not good, I will have someone give you some in a few days, is 200 copies enough?" Li Fuzhao said lightly.
Dong Jianhua actually resisted Li Fuzhao's gift in his heart, this business is yellow, and he doesn't even have the intention of celebrating the festival, how can he be in any mood to eat this ice-stuffed moon cake, but he is afraid that this thing will come to his mouth, and everyone will have to cry.
If you say that it is given to employees, then what does it mean: the company is cold, you know?" Thank you Uncle Zhao, it's just that the appetite of the family has not been good recently, and this too cold thing can be tasted lightly, and it doesn't need so much. Dong Jianhua let out a long sigh.
"Ah Hua, do you know what you are asking you for?" Li Fuzhao sighed, he originally wanted to ask the Dong family again if they wanted to purchase such a moon cake, but this was too damaging for him to say, after all, they are all celebrities in Xiangjiang, and this is still a world friend in front of him.
"Don't hide it from Uncle Zhao, now OOCL is going to suspend trading...... Dong Jianhua glanced at Wang Ji, "President Wang said that someone came to me to discuss the acquisition, it is Uncle Zhao, you also want shares?......
Dong Jianhua stared at Li Fuzhao tightly, he was eight years younger than Li Fuzhao, and it was okay to call him brother.
But when people are in a hurry, they can't care too much about it, and in terms of status, Li Fuzhao is too much higher than him.
The important thing is that the Li family did not start with shipping, after all, OOCL still has to be managed by him, and in the future, it is clear that OOCL is a listed company, and the shares cannot be bought.
"Shares...... You're probably mistaken. ”
Li Fuzhao sighed softly, now that OOCL owes 10 billion foreign debts, which is equivalent to saying that every 100th share has to build a debt of 100 million, and few companies can afford this kind of shares, anyway, the Li family didn't want it originally, as for now......
Looking at Dong Dashao's eyes full of anticipation and his slightly trembling hands, Li Fuzhao couldn't help but feel a little sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.
He has seen a lot of ups and downs in a family like this, and the Dong family is just one of them, and the hot and cold state of the world between the scenery and the fall can drive people crazy.
"No matter what, if Uncle Zhao can lend a hand, our Dong family will not dare to forget it!"
Dong Jianhua preemptively said again, Xiangjiang is a place like Xiangjiang where you can't look down and don't look up, as soon as he says this, Li Fuzhao must not go too far.
Li Fuzhao knew his careful thoughts, nodded with a smile, and said seriously: "Ah Hua, you Lao Dou has laid a great business, you didn't do a good job, do you know what is wrong?"
Dong Jianhua lowered his head in a gloomy face, opened his mouth and choked as soon as he said the word "I ......".
He made a lot of mistakes in business, the biggest is that he clearly saw that the shipping market was saturated, and even the Bao family began to reduce its business, and he also expanded against the market and spent 2.6 billion Hong Kong dollars to acquire the British Steamship Company, which now seems to be a big stupid move.
"I'm not teaching you a lesson, it's just that your mistake is indeed a bit big. When the Bao family bought Wharf, you bucked the trend, and the business should be stable, you just expanded too fast, and the funds were exhausted if you were too strong now, and now in the short term, you can't see any improvement, now, you should make a decision......."
Li Fuzhao made the gesture of an elder, although his attitude was gentle, but he didn't say much, in fact, he also knew in his heart that Dong Haoyun was also responsible for this matter.
Dong Haoyun died in 82 because of a heart attack rather than a brain problem, when Bao Yugang had already begun to abandon the sea on a large scale, and the Dong family also bought a million-ton oil tanker in 80...... People are always burdened by false fame!
If it were him, he would definitely not make such a mistake, Li Fuzhao sighed, and subconsciously glanced at the back of the young man outside the cabin door, this time in the Li family, the stall is really very big.
"It's a little bit worse than my line...... But Jiancheng didn't do a bad job in the United States......" Dong Jianhua nodded with bated breath, his mouth was bitter, and he put the plate back on the table with some frustration.
Chinese families generally inherit the main business of the family by the eldest son, and the Jiancheng mentioned by Dong Jianhua is his second brother, who is now presiding over the work of the North American company.
"Whether it's you or Jiancheng, the two of them together won't play a big role in the current situation!" Li Fuzhao shook his head, his fingers tapped on the table, very impatient.
Dong Jianhua sighed, his frustration obvious.
"At that moment, OOCL lacks capital and business, and the second is the most important thing, and I'm sure you've tried financing more than once, what is the result?" asked Li Fuzhao.
Dong Jianhua shook his head helplessly, looked at Wang Ji and said very sincerely: "If we can expand our business in the mainland, I think OOCL still has a lot to do, and I am willing to provide transportation business to the mainland at the most favorable price." ”
He naturally knew in his heart that now Dongfang Overseas Foreign Capital is insolvent, the stock price has plummeted, and if there is no one to support it, timely reorganization, bankruptcy and liquidation will be a matter of a few days.
The wall is down and everyone pushes it, and the most feared thing about doing business is that creditors come to the door to ask for money, but now that the Bank of China is interested in borrowing money, as long as the news is released, OOCL can immediately relieve its breath.
The real money of the Bank of China will give the company some blood, if it can get a big order, it will take half a year to come back to life.
But the volume of goods transported in the mainland is not large now, and he also needs to grab such a small cake from other people's mouths......
Dong Jianhua thought about it, but he couldn't figure out what bulk materials in the mainland could be regarded as a long-term business, but since Wang Ji found him, there must be this business, but he didn't get the news.
It's a pity that so many cars were transported on the mainland last year, and I didn't go to get business because of my position.
Thinking of this, Dong Jianhua kept looking at Wang Ji with expectation in his eyes: "President Wang, when doing ocean shipping, you should not be empty for both round-trip shipping, so that the transportation capacity can be best utilized, and we at OOCL can plan well in this regard......
Wang Ji smiled and waved his hand and began to talk nonsense: "Of course, but the shipping cycle is also long, and we don't have a reliable enough transport fleet now,... Well, in fact, I can't promise to say that there is any big business, disciplined ......."
Dong Jianhua sighed lightly, and grasped the words reliable, in business, what is reliable, holding is reliable, if it is the mainland, it must be absolute control, the so-called discipline is nothing more than another way of saying whether it is your own people.
Thinking of this, Dong Jianhua raised his eyes and looked at Li Fuzhao, with a complicated mood, could it be that Li Fuzhao had become his own person in the mainland, and then followed Wang Ji to calculate himself, and specially prepared this crescent moon cake stuffed with ice cubes?...
It's so cool!
