Chapter Ninety-Nine: Countdown to Commencement
After playing on Lingshan Island for a few days, Mo Fan flew to the United States.
The large-scale acquisition of Ledrik Marine Exploration has ended, and while the acquisition is being carried out, the assets are optimized and reorganized, and unnecessary assets are sold off......
Philip is an expert in this area, the company's original assets of 1,065.6 million US dollars, of which 1 billion for liquidity, just over a month, after a series of rapid operations, the company's total assets reached 1.396 billion US dollars, which is the average asset appraisal given by a number of appraisal agencies.
1.396 billion in total assets, unlisted companies, $10 per share, for a total of 139.6 million shares.
Kyle confirmed the list of share grants, all of whom were core personnel involved in the salvage of deep-sea treasures. A total of 103 people participated in the deep-sea salvage, including six engineers, each of whom received 50,000 shares. Ordinary employees will receive 40,000 shares...... Then there are offshore ground crews, who give away 3 to 45,000 shares each.
If Wang Meng and them are concerned, they will receive a gift of 30,000 shares, which is equivalent to 300,000 US dollars. Chen Xiaotang, who will be responsible for counting and recording salvaged items, is the head of the department, and will receive 45,000 shares. Zhang Dong was in charge of material supply, logistics and monitoring, and was also given shares.
There are a series of proviso clauses attached to the gifted shares, which do not belong to individuals until two years have passed, and are now held by the company's assets committee. If you want to sell your shares, you must wait one year after the company goes public or in the third year after you acquire your shares. The company also promised that core employees can subscribe for internal shares on a priority basis before going public......
A total of 4 million shares were given away, equivalent to $40 million.
In addition to giving away shares, the company also recruited shareholders. For example, the original CEO of Odyssey Marine Exploration was allowed to subscribe for 500,000 shares. Of course, the subscription price per share is 1.5 times higher than the actual price, 500,000 shares, $7.5 million subscription price. Even Kane subscribed for a portion of the shares......
Reframing the company's structure, Mo Fan relinquished the position of chairman of the company and handed it over to Philip. The CEO of the company is Schneider, the original CEO of Odyssey Marine Exploration. Kyle serves as the general manager of the 'Code Name 4.21 Project', which is to prevent leaks from leaking the news, and the origin of the name is to determine the day of the cooperation. Mo Fan served as a temporary consultant for the project...... After a series of asset integration, Mo Fan still has absolute control over the company, accounting for more than 52.0% of the company's shares.
Mo Fan doesn't attach too much importance to rights, and the proportion of shares he occupies has decreased, but the value of shares has increased, which is the point.
May 11th.
Two deep-water engineering vessels sailed into the port, these two are 'offshore oil tankers', which are mainly used for the hoisting of large-scale deep-water structures, umbilical cables and cable laying, saturation diving operation support, and deep-water facilities inspection and maintenance. The total length of the ship is about 140.75 meters, the width is about 29 meters, the depth is 12.80 meters, the maximum draft is 8.5 meters, the service speed is 11 knots, the maximum endurance is 11,000 nautical miles, the maximum load capacity is 12,227.85 tons, the deck area is 1,990 square meters, and the maximum number of crew members is 160 people.
Almost brand new used ships are also expensive, with a single ship costing $175 million.
Back at the dock, the company's engineers began to modify it.
The two vessels operate at a depth of only 3,150 meters, and the plan is to bring them to a depth of 4,000 meters, where their main purpose is to lift heavy objects on the seabed.
The company was already a behemoth, with nearly 260 employees, the vast majority of whom were technical staff, and it took just over a month to complete the transformation by transferring some people from other departments of the company.
July 1.
Tests of deep-sea submersibles and deep-sea robots have been completed.
"Mo, the next step is to simulate the deep-sea cooperative operation, if it is completed, you can set off to salvage the treasure. In the office, Kyle looked at the underwater pyramid that Mo Fan had drawn, and there was a deep shock and light in his eyes.
"The company's remaining funds are enough to support the successful completion of the project?" Mo Fan communicated with Xiaobai while marking the actual data of the pyramid. The base of the pyramid is 675 meters long on the sides, and the base is 2.9 times longer than the pyramid of Khufu. The pyramid is 371 meters high, which is 2.5 times the height of the pyramid of Khufu...... There are other data, which can be described as very detailed: "The pyramid data can only be given to a few chief engineers, and it is strictly forbidden to leak secrets." ”
"Understood. The company also has 35.3 million working capital, and there is no problem in supporting the completion of the project. In addition, it is better not to disclose all the treasures recovered, and some of them are shipped back to the United States, some of them are transported to other countries or put in containers and sink to the bottom of the sea...... Salvaging such treasures is destined to lead to lawsuits, and theoretically we can cope with all lawsuits, but we are afraid of what happens. When the dust settles on the ownership of the treasure, we will release all the data. ”
"Send a part to Tahiti. The Tuamotu archipelago is fighting for independence and does not know if it will succeed. Mo Fan chuckled at the corner of his mouth and tapped the newspaper on the table.
Kyle shook his head and smiled, "It's unlikely, but it should be able to fight for greater autonomy." I heard you know Lillian?"
"How?"
"Lillian is now a tourism ambassador for Tahiti and I wanted to ask her to shoot a Love Island commercial. ”
Mo Fan glanced at Kyle with slanted eyes, and Kyle sneered: "Lilian was interviewed before, she said that she is most grateful to a Chinese, and the most ideal partner is also ......"
"When did you like gossip. I had a relationship with her, and before she became famous, it was very short, it was in the past tense. I have a girlfriend now, and the relationship is very good......" Mo Fanzheng said, and his mobile phone came to WeChat.
"My graduation tomorrow. Can you come back, it's been almost two months, miss you. Zhao Jiyang sent a crying emoji on WeChat: "In addition, my father wants to see you." ”
Mo Fan replied: "The flights are all arranged, and I can come back." ”
Kyle shrugged, "Codename 4.21 project has entered the countdown, are you going to leave now?"
"I'm relieved to have you staring at me. Mo Fan pointed to the computer: "The password is 1X1X232XXX, and there is also a decoding card." The 3D graphics of the submarine pyramid on the computer can be shown to the engineer......," Mo Fan said, getting up and packing his things.
"Hi, when are you coming back. ”
"In a few days. That's it, the plane was waiting for me. ”
Mo Fan now lives in the company, went back to the dormitory to change his clothes, and asked the driver to send him to the airport.
It's still the same as before, because there is a stopover on the way, and it's a nearly 13-hour flight. Departure in the evening, arrived at BJ or still night......
It's late at night.
Mo Fan stayed in the hotel for one night, and the next morning, he came to the school with a big rose.
Today is the school's graduation ceremony, and many parents of students have arrived.
Mo Fan mixed the crowd into the school, and when he found Zhao Jiyang, the graduation ceremony had ended, and he was in class activities, and he would take class photos to commemorate it.
Mo Fan was holding a bouquet of big roses very eye-catching, Zhao Jiyang saw him at a glance, and trotted over: "Why did you come." ”
"Lost. Mo Fan cried.
Zhao Jiyang glared at him angrily, and pulled him to the side, in front of a middle-aged couple. The kind of man with glasses, and the woman who is tall and beautiful still has a beautiful ......
"This is my parents. Dad, Mom, this is Mo Fan. ”
Jiyang's father had a gloomy face, and Jiyang's mother smiled......
They already knew that their daughter was in love, or was it a transnational relationship...... It's not transnational, but the love partner works abroad, so much so that her daughter also found a job in Tahiti, which is the rhythm of double accommodation and double flight.
"Good uncle, good aunt. Mo Fan shrunk his neck and said.
"Hmm. Geeyang's father said coldly.
The old man looked at his son-in-law, Mo Fan could understand it, and he was flattering with a smile on his face.
Mo Fan hugged the flower in one hand, took out a cigarette in the other and handed it to the future father-in-law: "Uncle, smoke." ”
Zhao Jiyang stuck out his tongue next to him and said to Mo Fan: "I took a graduation photo." ”
"Hey. ”
Geeyang's father took the cigarette: "Smoking is not allowed in school. The graduation ceremony is over, and we stay like we look at you...... Have a meal in the evening. "Geeyang's father is very unhappy, this kid is going to kidnap his daughter who he raised with great difficulty without making a sound.
Mo Fan nodded hurriedly.
Geeyang's father heard some things about Mo Fan from the old man in the family, and he has worked hard in Canada to make a lot of career, and it is very good to say that he is a person. But I'm afraid that such people don't know their feelings, and their daughter is in love for the first time. As a father, he doesn't want his daughter to be hurt even a little bit......
"Then we'll go, see you in the evening. "Jiyang's father should be at the management level in the state unit, he is very majestic, and his eyes are staring, as if he wants to see through Mo Fan.
After Jiyang's parents left, Zhao Jiyang ran over again: "It's okay." ”
"I didn't ...... What can happen. ”
Zhao Jiyang stuck out his tongue again: "My dad is most like grandpa, he doesn't smile, and he looks scary." Actually, he's a good ......."
Mo Fan smiled and nodded: "The old man is very majestic, what do you do?"
"Can't say. Zhao Jiyang made a vicious appearance: "My father looks young, not old at all." ”
"Then I'll call my father-in-law......"
Zhao Jiyang was like a little wild cat, and continued to look vicious: "Call uncle." ”
