92. Negotiation (I)

The next day, at 9:20 a.m., Sanzang and Lou Xiaochen sat in the lobby of the Peninsula Hotel and waited boredly.

"Brother-in-law, didn't you say that the Peninsula Hotel has a lot of stars? We came twice and didn't see one. Lou Xiaochen looked around, but he didn't see any stars, and he was a little disappointed.

"At this time, everyone is sleeping at home, and they will not come out until the afternoon." Sanzang looked at the "Gangcheng Business Daily" in his hand and said casually.

"Yes, but I don't feel right." Lou Xiaochen had nothing to do, so he muttered casually.

"What's wrong?" Sanzang looked up at Lou Xiaochen, thinking that he had found something.

"You said that we are here to buy a freighter now, we are big customers, customers are God, you go and see what kind of treatment those who go to buy houses and cars,

Is it necessary for us to come here so early? It was as if they were rushing to beg them. Lou Xiaochen couldn't help but complain.

"Huh?" Sanzang reacted immediately, and slammed his right hand into the palm of his left hand with a fist, "Yes, it should be that they have a request for us." ”

"This ...... Brother-in-law, I'm just complaining casually, don't take it seriously, you still follow your own established strategy. Lou Xiaochen saw that his brother-in-law reacted so much, for fear that it would ruin his big thing.

"No, no, no, your reminder makes a lot of sense." Sanzang raised his right index finger and said in surprise.

"Why?" Lou Xiaochen looked at his brother-in-law suspiciously.

"Now the developed countries in the West are in a serious economic recession, and the price of oil is at a high level of 30 US dollars per barrel, and the shipping business is very difficult, so these ship kings will think of 'abandoning ships and going ashore' and engaging in real estate.

And they are still competing with each other, and now cash is king, and we have a strong mark in our hands, which is a huge attraction for them.

In this way, our money may be able to buy one or two more ships or a larger tonnage, haha, uncle, your credit is not small. Sanzang touched his chin, quickly figured things out, and laughed.

"Hehe, where is it, should we buy more ships or buy more tonnage? Big ships should be more profitable. Lou Xiaochen felt that he had made a great contribution by mistake, and he was also very happy.

"Hmm...... The tentative goal is one large and one small, and now a 10,000-ton freighter can meet our transportation tasks in Tianjin, and another big ship will go to the international market to find work. Sanzang thought for a while and said.

"Makes sense." Lou Xiaochen nodded, glanced at the hotel gate casually, and said in a low voice: "Brother-in-law, do you see that the people who come in now are they?" ”

"Oh yes, let's go over." Sanzang turned around, and saw Boss Lei in the crowd at a glance, immediately got up, straightened his clothes, raised his left hand and looked at his watch, at 9:25, he suddenly had confidence in his heart, it turned out that the Bao family also attached great importance to this business.

"Brother Huang, I haven't seen you for a long time." Boss Lei didn't wait for Sanzang to come to him, he smiled and stretched out his right hand.

"Brother Lei, long time no see." Sanzang hurriedly quickened his pace, stepped forward, held Boss Lei's right hand with both hands and shook it twice before letting go.

"Mr. Su, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Huang who wants to buy a boat from you." Boss Lei formed a palm with his right hand, pointed at Sanzang, and smiled at a forty-year-old foreigner standing on his right.

"Fortunately." Mr. Su stretched out his right hand, nodded and smiled.

"Brother Huang, this is the eldest son-in-law of the Bao family, in charge of the Bao family's shipping business." Boss Lei then pointed at Mr. Su and said with a smile to Sanzang.

"I have admired the daimyo for a long time." Sanzang held Mr. Su's right hand and shook it twice, and said with a smile.

"Okay, you all know each other, you can talk about the rest by yourself, I should go." Boss Lei clapped his hands and said with a smile.

"The Point Guard Is Here"

"This ...... Then I'll take you to the door, Brother Lei. Sanzang looked at Boss Lei's eyes, and immediately understood what he meant, the middleman must have the consciousness of the middleman,

Later, if both parties ask him to help intercede, he will sit on wax, it is better to withdraw now, and both parties will receive his favor.

"It's fine." Boss Lei nodded, he also had a few words to explain to Sanzang, for fear that he would suffer a secret loss.

"Brother Lei, what kind of person is this Mr. Su?" Sanzang and Boss Lei stood at the door of the Peninsula Hotel, waiting for the car, and whispered in his ear.

"I also want to tell you that he graduated from the law department of the University of Vienna, and then went to the University of Chicago for further studies and obtained a doctorate in law. Boss Lei also whispered.

"Understand, have you ever revealed something about me to him?" Sanzang nodded, and then asked.

"I told him that you came from the north, a very energetic person, and at the same time an important partner of mine, and very capable, in fact, I don't say that he can find out himself." Boss Lei nodded with a smile.

"Yes, thank you, Brother Lei, I'll invite you to dinner when you have time."

"No problem, you can call me at any time, the car is coming, I have to go first."

"Okay, goodbye, Brother Lei."

"Goodbye."

Sanzang sent Boss Lei away, and returned to the hotel lobby with vigorous and calm steps.

"Mr. Huang, please come with me, I have already found someone to book a private room here." When Mr. Su saw that Sanzang was back, he immediately greeted him and said with a smile.

"Okay." Sanzang nodded with a smile, then snapped his fingers and motioned for Lou Xiaochen to follow.

"Mr. Huang, I don't know what kind of boat you want to buy?" Entering the private room, Mr. Su waited for Sanzang to sit down, and asked straight to the point.

"An ocean freighter." Sanzang replied without thinking.

"How big does it take?"

"At least 10,000 tons or more, do you have a suitable ship?"

"Yes, but let me explain in advance, I believe that Mr. Huang has also roughly investigated us, and we are now selling old ships that are more than 5 years old." Mr. Su nodded with a smile.

"I know, if it weren't for business needs, I would have gone directly to the shipyard in Dongwei or Nanbang to place an order, so please give me a discount on the price."

"Well said, well said." Mr. Su's heart moved slightly, the guest in front of him was a big benefactor, and he actually had foreign currency to place a shipbuilding order in Dongwei.

"What is the price of your 5-year 10,000-ton freighter now?" Sanzang remembered Boss Lei's advice, and he didn't want to play any tricks, so he asked straight to the point.

"Thirty million Hong Kong dollars." Mr. Su silently raised three fingers.

"No, it's too expensive." Sanzang shook his head when he heard this, he still counted on using this money to buy two freighters, one large and one small, and now a small freighter would cost more than half.

"That's it, Mr. Huang, we still have a ten-year freighter, I can be the master, and sell it to you for 10 million Hong Kong dollars." As soon as Mr. Su saw Sanzang's expression, he knew that his offer was too ruthless, and he hurriedly took a big step back.

"No, no, no, I only need it for 5 years." Sanzang hurriedly waved his hand and refused, sneering in his heart, this is playing with himself as a fool, the service life of an ocean-going freighter is 2 or 30 years, and the freighter that has been used for 10 years still wants to sell it to himself for 10 million Hong Kong dollars, dream about it.

"Okay, then Mr. Huang, please make a price." Mr. Su formed a palm with his right hand and made an inviting gesture to Sanzang.
