Chapter 320: Endless Expansion (Thanks to Little Knife 123 for the tip)

"Mr. Jim is right! There are indeed many companies that are stronger than us, but we brothers must also fight! As for the certainty of winning the bid, we have not yet done so, and this question is unknown to anyone. However, I don't know what Mr. Jim wants to know about us, so let's be honest. Blom felt that Jim had something to say, and although he complained a little, at this point, he had to say whatever he had in his heart.

Jim didn't talk nonsense, turned around and pointed to the crane and said: "Give up a part of the shares of the Blomforth shipyard and let the Eric Group control it, and the actual operation in front of the stage is still carried out by the two of you, and I can guarantee that no one else will interfere." However, when the shipyard needs to step up at a critical moment, Eric cannot be forced to come to the forefront. It's just such a small condition. You can rest assured that the purchase price of the shares will be far beyond your imagination. ”

Blom and Foss's hearts jumped when they heard Jim say this, everyone wanted to have something to do with the Eric group, but they couldn't find a way, they didn't expect such an opportunity to come so suddenly, and it came at the right time.

"Can Mr. Ferdinand look up to a small character like ours?" Blom wondered if Jim was just talking.

"You are not a small character, and to put it bluntly, Mr. Ferdinand needs your cooperation too." Jim nodded and said, "Cooperation is a win-win, as long as you can make money, the size of the character doesn't matter, but the collaborator must be a smart person." ”

"At what price does the Eric Group intend to acquire our shares? Is it a retail investor or a large one? Blom and Foss were concerned about how far the Eric Group wanted to dilute their shares, and Jim said that the Eric Group would actually take control.

Jim shook his hand and said, "The Eric Group will never buy the shares of the two of you, but will inject capital into your account to make you stronger." Rest assured, in addition to our attention to the company's business and finances, we will not send people to get in the way of production decisions, let alone interfere in your normal operations, which is a condition that many companies can't ask for. ”

Jim's words were already very clear, and Blom was the first to react, which was actually to use the background of the Eric Group to block market competitors, so that Blom Forss Shipyard finally got the chance to win the bid. Although the Eric Group does not operate in front of the stage and does not interfere in production operations, considerable profits are shared.

"You two can discuss it first, this matter is not in a hurry." Jim said.

"Okay Mr. Jim, we can talk about the terms of cooperation." Blom said.

"It's not urgent, Mr. Ferdinand said he couldn't embarrass the two gentlemen." Jim said.

Fox was about to speak, when Jim turned back and beckoned to Secret......

"The two gentlemen can take a leisurely view of the scenery by the Elbe, the company has arranged accommodation for the two of them in the city, and after today's dinner, the company will have a major entertainment event to welcome the two gentlemen." Jim's secretary seems to be a beautiful Bulgarian woman.

Blom looked at Foss, their eyes had always been interconnected, as if they could see each other's hearts.

"Don't bother Mr. Jim, time is money, and since the Eric Group is interested in accepting the Blomforth shipyard, how can we both refuse to be kind." "If Mr. Jim wasn't joking," Blom said, "we can agree to such terms of cooperation now." ”

"Since Mr. Blom is so happy, this matter is much easier, but I would like to hear your terms." Jim seems to want to be fair between the two families.

Blom and Foss thought for a moment and exchanged views individually for nearly two minutes.

"In addition to your company's equity injection, we need 3 sets of gantry cranes for shipbuilding, which cannot be worse than the current one." Blom pointed to the new crane behind him and said: "Also, no matter what method your company uses, we still need to add two new slipways, of course, these can be used from your company's capital injection, but since your company has such good equipment, even if it is a welcome gift to Blomforth shipyard, do you think it is okay?" Blom said, cocking up his index finger.

Foss didn't speak, but Blom's conditions were what he wanted to propose. In fact, what are the conditions for this, it is nothing more than the basic operation of the company after the joint venture. The Eric Group's capital injection is definitely more than that, and it does not interfere in the actual work of the shipyard, which is good enough.

Jim didn't speak, just smiled meaningfully.

"That's our condition, and if you agree, we can think about the details." Blom looked at Foss, apparently asking for his opinion.

Foss nodded in agreement.

"That's all? Don't you have any other conditions? Jim asked, looking at the two of them.

"No, that's all, but it's just a rough intention, we can sit down and talk about the specifics slowly." Blom thought to himself, to be able to lean on such a big tree, not to mention the business risk, even if the sky collapses, there is no problem.

Jim stared into the eyes of the two again and asked, "Are you sure you don't have any other conditions?" ”

Blom was about to answer, but Foss spoke first: "That's it, Dear Mr. Jim, if your company does not agree, then even if we are whimsical, Blom Forss Shipyard will never embarrass its collaborators. ”

"We don't know your company's background, but one thing is clear, you pluck a hair thicker than our waist. However, the two of us came to buy this device in good faith. Blom said again, pointing to the crane behind him.

It seems that Blom has developed inseparable feelings for this crane, like a pair of lovers who fell in love at first sight.

"Although the ambition of the two is not small, they are very much to my appetite." An abrupt voice came from behind them.

Jim immediately stood up and leaned sideways, "Dear Governor, you must have heard our conversation clearly. ”

"Yes! Unfortunately, Mr. Blom's voice was clear and penetrating, and of course I heard it all. Ferdinand suddenly appeared in the open-air workshop.

Blom and Foss were amazed, they never expected that the famous head of the Eric Group would be listening to their conversation behind their backs all along.

Ferdinand walked around the crane arm to Fox and said with a smile: "Sir wants to get two brand new 100,000-ton slipways for free?" ”

Then he looked at Blom again and asked, "You still want to get three shipbuilding gantry cranes for free?" ”

Blom and Foss were a little embarrassed, but the words were out of the way, and they couldn't take it back.

"Well, gentlemen, no problem! None of this is a problem! Ferdinand suddenly changed his tone: "I can do all this for you, but as long as you can stand up at the critical moment, don't let the Eric group charge in the front desk." ”

"Can Mr. Ferdinand tell us what the key moment is? Can you tell us a little bit about it first? Blom looked at Ferdinand suspiciously, having heard Jim say that he wanted Blom Forss to stand up at a critical moment, and although he was full of questions, he never asked.

"I'll talk about this later, but you two can rest assured that there is no risk. Our cooperation is very important, and it is imperative that the first order is completed right away to show your strength. The anti-aircraft fire structure required by the Navy should be given to your shipyard as a gift, and you should give me a satisfactory answer. As for how to proceed, Mr. Lehard of the Rheinland Group already has his own plan, and I will introduce it to you when the time comes. ”
