Chapter 387 CIA

Zhang Yang waited for a long time in the VIP room, but when Edward entered the room, he felt like he had just gone out to smoke a cigar. Pen~Fun~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhang Yang is still sitting there sipping red wine, looking leisurely.

Sure enough, he is a rich man, but he can hold his breath.

Edward entered the room, Zhang Yang glanced at it, put down the wine glass in his hand, and asked with a smile, "How is it?" Mr. Edward, has your company already decided? ”

"Yes, Mr. Zhang Yang." Edward nodded and said with a smile: "Our company has decided to take over this commission from you and contact the Navy for the purchase of aircraft carriers. ”

"Yes." Zhang Yang nodded, stretched out his hand and shook it with Edward: "I really didn't see the wrong person, your company is really the kind of company with strength." ”

"In fact, even if our company deals with it, this matter is extremely risky, but our company's board of directors decided that we still have to gamble, after all, the benefits after winning the bet are not small." Edward smiled.

"Sure enough, every successful businessman is a gambler." Zhang Yang nodded: "Since your company has agreed, then I will also leave, in a few days, I will bring my lawyer to the door again, our contract will be officially signed and effective at that time, and at this time, I also hope that your company can race against time and seize the time." After all, our cooperation has been around since then. ”

"Of course, we knew that by the time I hung up, our company's expert group was already working on a plan and organizing a negotiator."

"Oh, that's so efficient." Zhang Yang exclaimed: "I hope we have a happy cooperation." ”

"It's a pleasure to work with."

……

Edward wanted to invite Zhang Yang to lunch, but Zhang Yang politely declined. Zhang Yang is going to find a lawyer now, how can he have the spare time to eat with him?

Lawyers in the United States are charged by the hour, how much is an hour, while Zhang Yang is looking for a very high-end kind, $1,000 an hour, and the charging time starts from the moment Zhang Yang hires him, until Zhang Yang takes him to sign the contract with the Navy and the aircraft carrier arrives.

In the United States, a good lawyer is even comparable to a good team of bodyguards.

Zhang Yang sat in the lawyer's office, drinking big-name red wine, and casually told the lawyer about the rough contract he had just made with All-Star Metal, and asked him to draft a contract for himself.

After listening to Zhang Yang's description, ......the lawyer shook his head with a little regret, and said to Zhang Yang: "With all due respect, sir, there are very big loopholes in your contract. ”

"Where?" Zhang Yang asked with a smile.

"Everywhere." His gold medal lawyer shook his head, and said to Zhang Yang across the desk very stylishly: "Sir, the simplest thing is that you don't set a deadline, as long as they don't make money, then according to the contract, your aircraft carrier can be said to be far away; And the market price range you said is too general, and the aircraft carrier is too special, different models, different tonnage, different technology levels, the final selling price will be very different, the reference market price you put forward can not be used as a standard to measure, you first need to determine a target, and then ask professionals to make an accurate assessment of your target, and the price is accurate to two decimal places, and then implement it into the contract. ”

"Oh, so I've made so many mistakes here." Zhang Yang smiled and said this, but there was not the slightest worry in his expression.

"And, sir, you're going to tow this aircraft carrier back to China, but your contract with All-Star Metals ended after the aircraft carrier deal ended, and there are still plenty of loopholes to exploit between the arrival of the carrier and its towing out of port. If the Navy is really careful, you may not be able to board your own aircraft carrier, let alone leave the port and return home. The lawyer said seriously.

"Oh, that's a real nuisance." Zhang Yang nodded, with a solemn look on his face.

"But don't worry, aren't these things done by our lawyers? Give me a week and I promise to give you a contract once and for all. ”

"Well, I'm sorry for you." Zhang Yang nodded, and then said with a smile: "But the one with accurate pricing is still exempt, let's follow the reference market price." ”

"Why?" The lawyer was a little stunned.

"Because this reference market price was originally left by me for them to exploit the loophole." Zhang Yang smiled: "No profit can not be early, only by having a head can they have more motivation to move forward." If I really block every one, then I can't buy eighty percent of this aircraft carrier. ”

"......" the lawyer nodded: "Taught." ”

……

All-Star Metals Company did a three-day investigation, mainly to deeply investigate how much the US Navy does not want to see their mothballed aircraft carriers, 48 aircraft carriers, the annual maintenance cost is an astronomical amount, and the target they selected for Zhang Yang is the lead ship of the Forrestal-class aircraft carrier, CV-59 "Forrestal", 80,000 tons, 38 years of service, still in the prime of life aircraft carrier. As for why this one was chosen for Zhang Yang, it was because the Navy announced in 1996 that this aircraft carrier could be donated to museums or used for other commemorative purposes, but no one wanted it. Now that I give Zhang Yang, it's a bit of a Tujili idea.

You see, you originally planned to use this aircraft carrier as a souvenir or turn it into a museum, but no one wants to take it over, and now that someone has taken over, why don't you hurry up and sell it? Well, although this is a concern that has been delayed for 13 years, it is not too late, is it?

And their other targets are three other aircraft carriers of the Forrestal class, "Saratoga", "Assault", "Independence".

There are only 4 Forrestal-class aircraft carriers in total, none of which have been in service for more than 40 years, and now, they are only in their 50s.

After the goal was determined, All-Star Metals made up its mind, and in the name of the company, it conveyed to the Navy that it wanted to buy the four aircraft carriers, and hoped to make an appointment for the first meeting.

Hearing the news, several admirals sitting in the Pentagon's Navy Department were stunned for a moment, and then wondered if someone had played a late April Fool's joke on them. No, is there still someone who comes to the door to buy such a thing as an aircraft carrier?

"All-Star Metals Company? How did they remember to dismantle the aircraft carrier? Will any shipbreaking company be stupid enough to take the initiative to dismantle an aircraft carrier in these years? Admiral James wondered.

The two chiefs of staff next to him shrugged their shoulders.

As a person who participates in discussions, designs and implements all kinds of intrigues all day long, James is naturally a very cautious person, he believes that All-Star Metal Company does not dare to play with the Navy, but he wants to understand the ins and outs of this matter, so he picked up the Pentagon phone from the table, and dialed it according to a number on the table.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Got it. On the other end of the phone, a man in a black suit, a blue tie, and an ordinary office worker hung up the phone in his hand and went out to give an order. And on his desk, a round bald eagle badge had a string of words on the edge.
