The two things that Machi Company lacks the most - capital and oil, Red Star Overseas has them, and they are very sufficient. Now that Li Lu has fully agreed to it, and only needs the right to use a few deep-water docks, it is really difficult to find a reason to refuse.

The signing fee of US$30 million offered by Kitajima Co., Ltd. is not an attempt to take a stake in Machi, and the Singapore government is unlikely to allow a company with a national background to take a stake in a sovereign wealth fund. But what North Island wants is the right to operate the port, the entire port of Singapore.

If Singapore were other small countries, I am afraid it would agree, but this small country has shown itself to be full of fighting spirit and wisdom from the day it was founded. There is no doubt that they will not leave their most fundamental business into the hands of anyone else.

Li Lu's every step tickled the most itchy part of Ma Chi's heart, such a negotiation is not fair at all, because he knows how to go in the future.

What about the conditions for fully agreeing to Ma Chi Company, he only needs to know that Ma Chi Company will develop into a big guy in charge of hundreds of billions of dollars in assets in the future. Moreover, he was able to secure access to several deep-water terminals in the best ports in the Straits of Malacca.

As he said, he didn't care about these specific matters about the port, but Machi Company would never have imagined that Li Lu's final foothold would still be the port. Because Ma Chi couldn't believe that anyone would be willing to pay such a big price for this.

Li Lu has made enough articles with oil, and the Iran-Iraq war is the best endorsement to a certain extent, and he can continue to do oil articles. Because of this, it is necessary to determine the reserves of the two oil fields as soon as possible and put some of them into production.

Sitting on the balcony and looking at the beach bay not far away, Li Lu felt very comfortable. He was thinking that if Niu Jun was by his side, this situation would be more appropriate. Sentosa is like a virgin, with blue skies and white clouds, and turquoise waters, full of simplicity and integrity.

Seeing that it was time for lunch again, Li Lu felt bored.

Today is the fifth day.

Today is also the last day of a special policing operation organised by the Singapore government.

Of course, Ma Chi Company has not yet given a specific reply, but Li Lu is not in a hurry about it, he knows that Ma Chi Company will definitely agree. Especially with the support of He Guohui, Red Star Overseas's plan will definitely be approved by the board of directors.

The temptation of the phrase "Red Star Overseas Company has no political purpose" is too great, and the board members of Machi Company will quickly confirm this after investigation. In the absence of the greatest fear, nothing can stand in the way of such cooperation.

Li Lu didn't plan to go head-to-head with Kitajima Co., Ltd. over the right to operate the port—wouldn't it be a one-step process to directly obtain the qualification to take a stake in Machi Company?

You must know that all the state-owned enterprises in Singapore, including the port sector, are controlled by Machi Company.

There is no reason why the cooperation is unsuccessful, what Li Lu didn't expect was that he happened to encounter He Zi's kidnapping, which had an excellent entry point, so the whole thing was at least three months ahead of schedule. If there was no kidnapping of He Zi, I am afraid that the preliminary communication work would have taken a month or two.

Just as he was about to get up to eat, Zhang Weiwei walked over to report his work.

"Boss, the Singapore police report came, the Golden Triangle Gang was wiped out, and the government dispatched the army and took thunderous measures. They especially praised Liu Xiaoguang and Zhong Tieshan by name, which helped a lot. The boss of the Golden Triangle Gang was captured by Xiaoguang and Tie Shan. Zhang Weiwei said with a smile.

"I heard gunshots, and from morning to now, gunshots have been ringing out in the city for several hours, and the Singapore police have suffered a lot of losses, right?" ”

"Well, there were a lot of deaths, but the results were great. The Singapore government has made up its mind to completely clean up the dirt on social order in three months. Zhang Weiwei handed the telegram in his hand to Li Lu.

Li Lu glanced at it and returned it to Zhang Weiwei, saying, "In the name of the company, I will make a voice, the central meaning is to fully support the government's actions to crack down on illegal crimes, organize personnel to express condolences to the military and police, and send something over." ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Zhang Weiwei went immediately.

As soon as Li Lu walked into the living room on the second floor, Tang Jiu led He Guohui up. Coming to negotiate so quickly was unexpected by Li Lu.

After hurriedly sitting down, He Guohui took out a contract from his briefcase and said bluntly, "Mr. Li, this is the general agreement, you see, if there is no problem, you can sign it immediately, the chairman of Machi Company has signed it with the official seal, and the government has also stamped and endorsed it." More specific terms of the contract are left to the respective teams to negotiate. ”

Li Lu was very excited, took it and read it carefully, there was no problem with several key points, the only slight regret was that Machi Company only gave 10% of the shares. This was lower than Li Lu's expectations. Red Star Overseas Company injected a total of 200 million US dollars in assets in the form of cash and oil within half a year, obtained 10% of the shares of Machi Company, and shared a seat on the board of directors.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Lu did not put forward any new conditions, and asked Tang Jiu to take the official seal and sign it neatly.

It represents the official entry into force of the cooperation between Red Star Overseas and Machi Company.

Li Lu handed over the contract to He Guohui, shook hands with him, and said sincerely, "Mr. He, on behalf of Red Star Overseas Company, I propose to hire you, and I hope you can serve as the chairman of the advisory committee of Red Star Overseas Head Office." ”

He Guohui was surprised, "Mr. Li, why is this?" ”

Li Lu said sincerely, "Mr. He, we in Huaxia have just opened our doors and have just begun to learn to do business in the international market, and the same is true for Red Star Overseas Company. We want to learn more and more experience, and that's why we set up the Advisory Board. I hope that more experienced masters will join our advisory board to advise on the future of Red Star Overseas. ”

"Mr. Ho, taking up this position will definitely not have any impact on your current situation, I can guarantee that."

Tang Jiu said with a smile, "President He, you are highly respected, even if it is for the sake of smooth cooperation in the future, I hope you can accept our employment." ”

He Guohui understood, I'm afraid what Tang Jiu said was the real intention. The biggest purpose of allowing He Guohui, as the executive director of Machi Company, to enter Red Star Overseas Company as a consultant is to increase the trust of the proprietor behind Machi Company in this partner.

It is equivalent to Li Lu taking the initiative to express his stance - we are sincerely doing business with you.

It is not a bad thing for people to take the initiative to put on a low posture under the eaves.

"Okay, I'll take the shot." He Guohui shook hands with Li Lu and Tang Jiu respectively.

Li Lu said with a smile, "Mr. He, Uncle Nine is still in charge of the matter here, and you can directly discuss and decide with Uncle Nine if there is anything in the future." ”

"Mr. Li, are you leaving?" He Guohui is strange.

"Yes, there are other things that can't stay in Singapore for a long time." Li Lu said apologetically.

He Guohui sighed and said, "I still want to talk to you a few times to discuss the direction of the world economy, it seems that I have to wait for the opportunity." ”

"On the day the new port is completed, I will definitely come to Singapore. ”

The two shook hands.
