Chapter 111: Shipping giant Maersk
"I, like you, am also a loser, and we have a common goal, my name is Hu Weifan, and I am your friend."
Hu Weifan, just two months ago, was still fighting with Fang Yuan for the inheritance, but in the end he was out. Hu Weifan couldn't swallow this breath at all, he had already made a full plan, he was nine out of ten stable in obtaining the inheritance of the Dusit chaebol, but he was short of the last stability, he didn't expect that people were not as good as the sky, and in the end, the inheritance of the Duster chaebol was in Fang Yuan's hands.
Hu Weifan was very unwilling, very unwilling.
Hu Weifan is a person with great ambitions, in order to be able to obtain the right to inherit, Hu Weifan deliberately approached Mrs. Du, and also thought that he had won the favor of Mrs. Du, but for Mrs. Du's most painful dog, Hu Weifan was not allowed to get close to her. As the so-called success is also Jinbao, defeat is also Jinbao, Hu Weifan finally lost the election, just because he and Jinbao had no feelings, and the little-known ordinary person Fang Yuan picked a "peach".
Therefore, Hu Weifan was very angry.
The Dusit chaebol was supposed to be his, almost at his fingertips, but he didn't expect fate to play tricks on him, and he watched the duck fly away.
Hu Weifan doesn't want to be ordinary, he wants to build his own business empire and become a big entrepreneur who attracts worldwide attention, but he didn't expect that before he took the first step, he was already lame.
Therefore, Hu Weifan wants to take back what originally belonged to him.
"He's shining now, what are you and me? Two failed fools are here to drown their sorrows with wine? Zhou Chuming shook his head helplessly.
Hu Weifan waved his hand slightly, "No, no, no, one day, I will become the heir of the Dusit chaebol." I believe that I can do it, so I won't fail, and you, do you want to get the green eyes of beauties, and the recognition of the entire fashion industry, Zhou Chuming, don't tell me that you have no ambition, a man without ambition is destined to achieve nothing in this life! โ
Zhou Chuming was very unconvinced, coupled with alcohol, and this man's extremely demagogic words, Zhou Chuming nodded, "Yes, if you lose it, you will take it back." โ
"This is the phone number of Julian Jr. of the Enamel Quansheng Group, his father is the founder and head of Quansheng, and he is also your classmate at ESMOD International Fashion Design Institute, Julian is very lascivious, likes beautiful women and young models, if you can become good friends with him, and then persuade him to participate in the Dusit chaebol's catwalk debut with you, and you should have no problem participating in Bali Fashion Week at that time."
Zhou Chuming was confused.
Hu Weifan smiled mysteriously, stood up slowly, and said in a seductive tone: "Think about it, Joanna is your idol, you should know in your heart what she wants to do the most, at this time, if you want Joanna to be impressed by you, you better follow my requirements." โ
"Good!" Zhou Chuming agreed.
Hu Weifan stood up, patted Zhou Chuming's shoulder with a smile, and encouraged: "Remember, you and I have the same purpose." After speaking, he raised his head and said to the bartender: "I'll finish his wine!" โ
Zhou Chuming was a little grateful, but Hu Weifan had already disappeared from the dance floor, and Zhou Chuming had an extra photo and a phone number in his hand, how to approach Julian, Zhou Chuming already had an idea.
Hu Weifan walked out of the bar, the smile on his face was gone, and he dialed the phone, Hu Weifan said: "What the hell is Wen Xuezhi doing now, why don't you do it yet?" You are his most powerful assistant, and now you can properly remind him to deal with Fang Yuan as soon as possible, and don't limit your eyes to that small Shamrock group. โ
Hanging up the phone, Hu Weifan couldn't help but murmured: "You all show me, one day, I will take everything back!" โ
Dan mark, Goben Hagen.
"The sun is too clear in May, and the cattle are ploughing on Shiro Island; The cherry blossoms spit out pear anthocyanins, and the spring water sprays out the sea level. The mermaid by the bay is suspicious of dreams, and the sculptures in the museum are like life; The Nordic scenery is now viewed, and the most beautiful folk sentiment is Danjing. This is a poem written by a very famous scholar in China after traveling to the Nordic countries in praise of Gobenhagen.
Fang Yuan and Helen arrived in this fairytale city, and the purpose of their trip was none other than the most famous Muller family in Kobenhagen, and the Muller family, which controls the world's largest shipping company, Maersk Group.
"You know what? In the 12th century, the Patriarch of Absa of Loskile built a fortress here and gave rise to the merchant port, which is now Gobenhagen". It is the gateway not only to Denmark but also to Northern Europe. It was an important port city, and the Mรผller family was one of the first pirates to come to Gobenhagen. Today, Maersk's shipping company is the world's largest container carrier, with offices in 35 developed countries around the world. Helen calmly introduced Fang Yuan.
"Pirates?"
Fang Yuan was stunned.
Helen smiled directly at Fang Yuan, "In our place, pirate is not a derogatory term, but I want to remind you that it is best not to mention the word pirate in front of Old Muller, I dare not guarantee that Old Muller will not beat you out!" โ
Fang Yuan swallowed his saliva.
The car took them from the airport to an estate in Gobenhagen, where they met the legend of the Maersk Group, the elder Mรผller.
"Hello, young man from the Far East." Old Muller was a gray-haired old man, but he was in good spirits, and when he saw Helen beside Fang Yuan, he said with a smile: "Miss Helen, I haven't seen you for a long time, the last time we met should have been at the birthday party of the Queen of Buckingham Palace in England, I didn't expect you to be more and more charming." โ
"Thanks for the compliment!" Helen had a rare look of shyness.
"This is the young master of the Dusit chaebol, Fang Yuan. He came to visit you today. Helen said calmly, but her gestures were incomparably dignified and elegant.
The corners of Old Muller's mouth hooked up a meaningful smile, at this time, the servant directly brought three cups of coffee in front of the three of them, Old Muller picked up the coffee cup, took a sip gently, and then closed his eyes slightly, looking endlessly aftertasted. "O Dusit plutocracy! It seems to have been in a lot of trouble with the Wen family recently! Mr. Fang came, could it be that he was overwhelmed by the Wen family's suppression, and deliberately ran to Dan Mark to ask me for help? โ
This old guy is really powerful, before Fang Yuan could speak, Old Mueller had already clearly refused to help Fang Yuan.
"No, no, no." Fang Yuan said with a smile, for today and Old Muller, he also came prepared, Fang Yuan said slowly: "A little Wen family, the Dusit chaebol will not take it to heart, it's just a clown, but, if my Dusit chaebol loses, then the Wen family will definitely take the opportunity to control most of the shipping in the Pacific and Atlantic, will it have an impact on Maersk at that time?" โ
Fang Yuan's words shocked Old Muller, and he put away his contempt, his eyes stared at Fang Yuan for a long time, and then he said slowly: "The five major shipping companies have agreements. โ
"Yes, but Lord Mรผller should also know that agreements are sometimes just a fragile piece of paper." Fang Yuan said confidently.
Mueller laughed, "Then according to what you said, I should help you?" โ
Fang Yuan shook his head, and still said with confidence: "Actually, it's not about helping, it's just win-win cooperation, Maersk accounts for 70% of the shipping business, but the cost of shipping is very high, and the routes are very concentrated, and most of them are the destinations of developed countries!" However, these markets have reached a state of saturation, and to put it mildly, the prospects for development are not very large. โ
Mueller nodded, this can be analyzed by anyone who understands the industry. Fang Yuan was able to have such insight, which also showed that he had done his homework.
"I'm sorry, my time is very limited, and I want you to pick and choose the key points!" Mueller said.
Fang Yuan knew that Muller was interested in what he said, and he continued: "This market in developing countries is the largest, and no one thinks it is very profitable, but I think that if we can tilt the routes to these countries more, it will be a business expansion for Maersk." โ
"Well, that's kind of interesting." Mueller nodded, but he immediately shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Actually, I still can't see it, what does this have to do with the purpose of your trip?" โ
Businessmen value profit over righteousness, this truth Fang Yuan understands, so when Old Mueller said something about the agreement, Fang Yuan knew that the fish had taken the bait, and in the face of his own proposal, even the most cunning fish couldn't help but bite the hook, "Actually, my purpose is the same as Your Excellency, that is, we all need to expand our business." Being trapped by the Wen family this time also reminded me that in an old Chinese saying, that is, 'eggs can't be put in the same basket', so I want to grasp the initiative of overseas sales and shipping, and Maersk can also grasp new business opportunities! โ
"But how can it not arouse the resentment of developing countries? Those people are very perceptive, will they think that we are carrying out economic aggression? Mueller said thoughtfully.
Fang Yuan smiled very confidently, "Actually, this worry is very unnecessary, this is the purpose of my visit today, what we want to talk about is cooperation, naturally, if this game is played alone, it is very boring, but it is different for two people to play, we can complement each other's advantages." โ
"I understand the advantages of Maersk, but what about the advantages of your Dusit chaebol?" Mueller said jokingly.
"Market!"
Fang Yuan only said two words, but Mueller already understood.
The market is the most important, the Dusit chaebol has thirteen branches, and the branches radiate more than 150 countries, which is the strength of the luxury market, whether it is the raw material market, the processing market or even the sales market, this is the bargaining chip of Fang Yuan's negotiations.
Old Muller was silent, Fang Yuan's words really moved him, now Maersk is just like Fang Yuan said, in a very embarrassing situation, the developed market is almost saturated, if you want to develop again, you must knock on new doors and expand new business, although the old Muller has begun to prepare for Maersk, but the results are very little.
"Your suggestion is indeed very attractive to me, and your demagogy is very strong, and the purpose is obvious, but I want to tell you that I can't provide you with any help in the affairs of the Dusit chaebol and the Wen family." Old Muller glanced at Fang Yuan, his eyes were full of vigilant light, and said slowly.
Fang Yuan was not surprised, he said with a smile: "I know, this is a matter between me and the Wen family, I can handle it by myself, I don't need Your Excellency's help, and in addition, I have another proposal, I believe Your Excellency will also be interested." โ
