Chapter 478 - Purchase and Processing Mother Ship II
Lu Yao stayed in Hamburg for three days, mainly to deal with the purchase of a processing mother ship.
A major transaction involving nearly 950 million yuan, Shen Xixue, the general manager of the company, naturally has to show up.
Just as her team finished their inspection of two ranches in Australia, she took the whole team to Hamburg.
Yang Huaicun also came with the team, and Lu Yao handed over the contract to Yang Huaicun to deal with.
When Shen Xixue saw Lu Yao's first face, she asked, "Lu Dong, are you too risky?
Lu Yao smiled bitterly: "Mr. Shen, do you think I am willing to spend so much money to buy it? I am also helpless, this opportunity is too rare." You must know that such a powerful processing mother ship as this one will generally not be sold to our country by other countries. ”
"I also thanked Christie for interceding this time, and it happened that the Kahn Heavy Industries Shipping Company had such a ship, and it happened to buy it first while the other countries did not react. ”
"Alas!" Shen Xixue sighed faintly, although Huaxia has developed rapidly in recent years, many heavy industries are still far from the world's top level, and there is no shipyard in China that can produce such a large-tonnage processing mother ship.
Lu Yao continued: "I originally planned to buy a 10,000-ton or so good one, but who knew that there was a 30,000-ton ready-made processing mother ship, if I missed this opportunity, I'm afraid I would regret it for a long time." ”
For Lu Yao, making money is no longer his goal, if he really just likes to make money, as long as he goes to the sea every day, he can get a lot of shipwreck treasures, or other rare treasures.
Or simply Lu Yao refining some pills suitable for ordinary people to take and selling them to the world's richest people, the money is not constantly entering his pocket, but what's the point of this?
Lu Yao is not greedy for worldly enjoyment, worldly money means little to him, he just wants to do his best to make the lives of the people around him better before he leaves the earth and goes to the cultivation realm.
The reason why he spent a huge amount of money to buy this processing mother ship was to better develop and expand his fishing company and leave an industry for the Lu family.
This processing mother ship is used well, and there is no problem at all for twenty or thirty years.
Shen Xixue asked, "Dong Lu, have you ever considered how to drive this ship back? And when this ship is running, it will need at least four or five hundred staff, and there will be enough manpower?"
Lu Yao said: "The staff on the processing mother ship has not yet started recruiting, this is not in a hurry, and it is not too late to recruit when we return to Donghai City." As for the ship to be sailed back, I have asked Mr. Taylor of the Kahn Consortium to send the ship to China as soon as the deal is completed. ”
If Taylor didn't help, Lu Yao would probably have to do it himself, get the processing mother ship to Fanghu Immortal Island, and then transfer it back, but in this way, it would cause others to doubt him.
It is better to ask Mr. Taylor to help, although this will waste a lot of time, it is estimated that it will take more than a week to meet Huaxia from Hamburg, but Lu Yao does not care about this time.
In addition, Lu Yao had to ask technicians from the Kahn Heavy Industries Shipping Company to help train the employees of Lu Yao Fishing Company on how to use the processing mother ship.
It is estimated that it will take about a month, and by the time the training is over, the combined fleet will be ready for distant-water fishing operations.
In the few days after signing the sales contract, Lu Yao instructed the fishing company to start recruiting hard-working crew members, and also instructed Lu Minghai that if there were fishermen who were willing to carry out deep-sea fishing, the fishing company would also recruit all of them.
At this time, Lu Minghai had returned to the Dolphin Bay Wharf again, and because there was no Taiji to follow this time, the income of the fishing boat did not even reach two-thirds of the previous one, which made Lu Minghai very ashamed.
Lu Yao didn't pay too much attention to this, he had already decided that after the joint fleet was established, he would train another team of sea hounds to assist in fishing.
As for the choice, he had already thought about it, so he used the group of dolphins in the inland sea of Fanghu Immortal Island to train, those dolphins had become much smarter after this period of training, and many of the instructions given by Lu Yao could be understood.
In addition, Taiji was also in the inland sea of Fanghu Immortal Island at this moment, and Lu Yao instructed Taiji to train the group of dolphins well, so that they would know how to assist the fleet in finding fishing boats.
......
......
Three days later, the transaction was officially completed, and Lu Yao paid 120 million euros to Kahn Heavy Industries, and purchased the 30,000-ton large offshore processing mother ship as he wished.
At the same time, it almost emptied more than half of Lu Yao's cash, leaving him with more than 500 million cash left in the bank.
This money seems like a lot, but in fact it is not very well spent, because the next step is to buy pastures and fishing grounds, build schools, and renovate islands, which are all bottomless pit of money.
After the transaction was completed, Lu Yao watched the staff arranged by Taylor slowly sail the processing mother ship away from Hamburg and headed straight for Huaxia Donghai City.
At this time, Lu Yao also waved goodbye to Christie and Taylor, and prepared to leave for Xinguo to inspect the last seaside pasture.
The reason why the pasture of Xinguo was put to the last stop was that Shen Xixue had her own considerations.
In terms of the area of a single pasture, the new country has the largest pasture area and the lowest price. Therefore, Shen Xixue's first sight was the pasture of Xinguo.
However, in the face of the five ranches provided by Yuntong, Shen Xixue could not decide based on her personal preferences alone, she had to make a decision after a field trip.
Among them, it is necessary to compare and choose the one with the best cost performance. In this way, because of the separate piece of the new country ranch, it is either the first to be examined, or the last is the most appropriate.
The other four ranches, two are located in the United States and two are located in Australia, which can just fly once, and the two ranches will be inspected by the way.
The price of pastures in the United States is the highest, and there are all kinds of conditions that are difficult for strongmen, Shen Xixue directly passed the two pastures at the end of the inspection.
The price of pastures in Australia is much cheaper than that in the United States, but the marine fishing grounds where it is located are not large enough to meet Lu Yao's requirements.
Moreover, Australia is not too friendly to China, and if Dawn Marine Fishery Company chooses to buy ranches in Australia, it will inevitably receive similar unfair treatment as in United States.
Regarding this point, Shen Xixue already had a deep understanding in the process of investigation, which made Shen Xixue feel quite unhappy.
At this time, Lu Yao called her and said that she had purchased a large processing mother ship, and Shen Xixue went to Hamburg to meet Lu Yao under the pretext of this reason.
