Chapter 45: A Conversation Between Sisters
President Li Mengcheng wiped the corners of his mouth elegantly, put down the napkin and said slowly, "Samsung Heavy Industries Shipyard is the largest shipyard in the world, and last year's order volume exceeded 8.5 million revised gross tons.
"Stop." Gao Yang stretched out his hand and interrupted Li Mengcheng's introduction, "President Li, I'm sorry, I don't want to listen to your company's profile, I just want to know what your company is going to use to impress me and let me buy your company's oil tankers?" ”
Li Mengcheng's face was a little embarrassed, and Li Fuzhen on the side said with a smile, "President Gao, of course Samsung Heavy Industries has impressed you with sincerity." ”
Gao Yang leaned back in his chair, took out a cigarette, and said slowly, "Oh? Sincerity? ”
"Well, it's sincerity." Li Mengcheng continued, "Chairman Gao, although you have ordered eight giant oil tankers from two shipyards in China, it will take at least two years for them to be launched. You only have two 74,000-ton tankers at your disposal, so I don't think they're enough to transport more than 4.5 million barrels of crude oil per month, right? Speaking of this, Li Mengcheng looked at Gao Yang with a smile.
Gao Yang smoked silently and did not speak. Li Mengcheng took a sip of the water cup, and then said: "Samsung Heavy Industries now has three completed VICC giant oil tankers, and I think Chairman Gao needs them very much." ”
"If there is no order for this kind of giant oil tanker, will you start building it?" The corners of Gao Yang's mouth curled and he chuckled and said, "Could it be that the buyer broke the contract and asked me to take over?" ”
Li Mengcheng was a little embarrassed and lifted his glasses, he was really said by Gao Yang. The buyers of these three ships suddenly declared bankruptcy some time ago! The last 40% of the final payment could not be recovered, and Samsung Heavy Industries could only put the finished ship and wait for a new buyer to take over.
It's just that there aren't many buyers of this kind of giant oil tanker in the whole world, so who knows when Lu Dao will be able to sell it? Just when Samsung Heavy Industries was scratching its head, Gao Yang appeared. President Lee, who received the news that Goyang wanted to buy an oil tanker, rushed back to Seoul from Ulsan overnight. You must know that the top seven of the top ten shipyards in the world are all in South Korea! It's really fast, there is no slowness.
"Chairman Gao, Samsung Heavy Industries will sell it to you at a reasonable price, and will not worry too much about the price. We Samsung Group don't care about this bit of money, just to revitalize assets. Li Fuzhen took a sip of the water cup, looked at Gao Yang, and said with a serious face: "And you, you will get the friendship of Samsung Group!" ”
Gao Yang snuffed out the cigarette and said leisurely: "Samsung's friendship." ”
After a morning of visits by representatives of several South Korean shipyards, and after rejecting the new ship contracts, Gao Yang bought four second-hand oil tankers, two Panamaxes, one Aframax, and one Suezmax, from the remaining three shipyards.
So far, not counting the eight VLCCs under construction, Gaoyang has a total of nine tankers with a total deadweight ton of more than 1.51 million tons!
At a bi-monthly round trip between Africa and Asia, more than 5.5 million barrels of crude oil could be landed each month, which is at most until the eight new VICCs are put into operation.
It is possible to buy more ships, but more will be more noticeable, and even now there is a lot of attention on the mining areas in Africa, and even Samsung Group can send someone to see the actual production of the oil field.
Gao Yang named the nine oil tankers after the ancient Chinese dragon nine sons, and all ownership was brought together under the shipping subsidiary of SC Trading. Gaoyang doesn't plan to expand in the short term, and Africa also needs to find some time to deal with some problems.
The registration of SC Trading in Korea was completed very quickly, and Kim Yong-nam became the president of the Korean branch. The first thing he did was to buy a 498-square-meter top-of-the-line duplex apartment in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu as Goyang's residence in Seoul, with a total value of more than 3.7 billion won!
Kim Yong-nam's original plan was to buy a luxury villa, but the time was too tight to buy a renovated luxury villa in the wealthy area of the center of Seoul in one night. In retreat, I bought this luxury hardcover apartment as a model room in Cheongdam-dong.
After lunch, Gao Yang stayed in the apartment, which is located on the top floor of this building, with a total of 12 rooms, 3 toilets and 2 bathrooms on the upper and lower floors. There is also a sun room and an indoor garden.
Although it is a model house, the decoration is top-notch, with a simple and elegant French casual style design with light blue as the main color, and the garden in the center of the upper floor of the apartment is a heated pool with natural light, surrounded by a variety of beautiful flowers. The crystal clear glass ceiling and the pure water shadow combine to give the space a modern atmosphere.
From the balcony, you can see the Han River rushing down in the distance, and the street downstairs is full of traffic and pedestrians surging like ants. Gao Yang is still satisfied with this place, there is a lot of space. When he came to the living room, Gao Yang took out a cigarette and signaled, "Do you smoke?" Jin Yongnan stepped forward to take it and took the initiative to take out the lighter to help the boss light a cigarette.
Gao Yang sat down in front of the piano, and an SC trade worker brought an ashtray and placed it on top of the piano. Gao Yang waved his hand to let everyone leave. Looking at Kim Yong-nam, he smiled and said, "I opened a branch in South Korea just to do one thing. Jin Yongnan leaned over slightly and waited for the boss's order.
"I bought the ** company last night." Gao Yang said lightly.
Jin Yongnan was shocked, as a Korean, of course he knew about the acquisition of the famous ** company in Lu Dao, but he didn't expect this mysterious acquirer to be his boss, and he vaguely knew the meaning of the boss of Lu Dao, but his face was silent.
Gao Yang chuckled and said, "I'm pursuing Zheng Xiujing, a female artist of ** company, you go to ** company as my representative to be the president, do you know what I mean?" ”
"Yes boss, I see what you mean. I will take care of you secretly like a nanny, and I will not reveal it, let alone reveal your identity. Jin Yongnan bowed slightly and said.
"Well, it's easy to talk to smart people. In the afternoon I go on a date, and you go to the ** company to do the takeover work. Gao Yang got up and snuffed out his cigarette, and then said, "As a top student at Seoul National University, this little thing is no problem, right?" ”
"Boss, rest assured, I will do my best." Kim Yong-nam said with a deep bow.
At this time, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and the summer in Seoul this year was surprisingly hot, and the weather forecast said that the highest temperature in Seoul today exceeded 38 degrees Celsius!
Zheng Xiujing saw through the window that there was not a single cloud in the sky outside, there was not a single wind, and all the trees were standing there listlessly and lazily. There are almost no pedestrians on the road, and even few vehicles.
Sticking out his tongue slightly, he changed into blue denim shorts, a white short-sleeved T-shirt and white canvas shoes, and sat on the sofa in the living room to blow the air conditioner. Gao Yang had already sent a text message saying that he had set off to pick her up.
When she was bored playing with her mobile phone, her sister Zheng Xiuyan walked out of the room wearing sunglasses and a handbag. The two sisters were stunned when they saw each other's dress.
"Where is my sister going?"
"You're going to get out?"
Zheng Xiujing puffed out her mouth slightly and said, "It's so hot, where is my sister going if she doesn't sleep?" After lunch, my sister, who loved to sleep the most, lay down to rest, and Zheng Xiujing, who was relieved and boldly ready to go out, was waiting for Gao Yang in the living room, but she didn't expect her sister to suddenly go out, and she was caught now.
Zheng Xiuyan frowned slightly and said, "I just received a notice from the company that the new chairman is going to the company for a meeting, and my agent OPPA asked me to go to the company to have a look." It's you, the leg injury is not healed, where are you going? There was a hint of sternness in his tone.
Zheng Xiujing pouted and said, "My injury is fine, I just made an appointment with a friend to eat ice cream." ”
"Friends? Which friend? Zheng Xiuyan continued to ask. But his heart suddenly flashed Gao Yang, who he had seen in the ward that day.
"Sister, what do you mean? I'm an adult, what's wrong with eating with friends? Zheng Xiujing looked at her sister with a cold face.
Sighing slightly, Zheng Xiuyan sat on the sofa, looked at her sister's eyes, and said seriously: "Ermao, tell me, is it him?" ”
"Yes." After hesitating slightly, Zheng Xiujing replied softly.
Raising her hand and rubbing her forehead, Zheng Xiuyan took her sister's hand and tried to calm down and said, "My sister has seen a lot of rich people like him, playboys like them"
"Sister!" Zheng Xiujing violently interrupted her sister's words: "Gao Yang OPPA is not a playboy!" ”
"Listen to me!" Zheng Xiujing tried to control her emotions and said, "I have been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and I know that many sons and brothers will use the strategy of a wolf in sheep's clothing, once they succeed."
Zheng Xiujing shook off her sister's hand violently, got up from the sofa and said with a cold face, "Sister, let me say it again, I and Gao Yang OPPA are just good friends!" And Gaoyang OPPA is definitely not the kind of person you say! After saying that, he picked up his handbag and strode out of the house.
Zheng Xiuyan sat on the sofa and rubbed her forehead vigorously, her sister's personality was too stubborn, and what she said just now was afraid that it was counterproductive. After sitting for a while, he got up and left, "Let's go to the company first, and then talk to Ermao when I have the opportunity." Zheng Xiuyan, who was thinking while walking, came to her car, and when she looked up, she saw Zheng Xiujing getting into a silver-gray BMW car across the road! It's Gaoyang who is driving!
Zheng Xiujing left home in a huff and came to the side of the road. The mobile phone rang suddenly, it was Gao Yang's call! Zheng Xiujing did not hesitate and directly connected the phone, "OPPA, where are you?" ”
"Look at two o'clock." Zheng Xiujing looked up, Gao Yang got out of a BMW car, and greeted her with the phone in one hand and the other.
Putting away the phone, Zheng Xiujing walked over quickly. When Zheng Xiujing came to her, Gao Yang saw that her face was not good, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Where is it uncomfortable? ”
Relieved, Zheng Xiujing said, "OPPA, it's too hot, let's get in the car first." ”
"Yes." Gao Yang didn't say anything more, opened the car door and sat back.
Closing the window and starting the car, Gao Yang said with a smile while driving, "It's hot today, how about taking you to eat cool ice cream?" ”
"En" Zheng Xiujing was about to say something, when the mobile phone rang suddenly, it was Zheng Xiuyan's phone. After hesitating, Zheng Xiujing didn't answer, but turned off directly!
