When Liu Zhongzhou received a call from Si Mingyu saying that he wanted to talk to his old man, he immediately told his father Liu Haijiao the news. In fact, Si Mingyu has Liu Haijiao's contact information, and after the last time he made money by speculating in coins, the old men of the six second-generation families joined forces to invite Si Mingyu several times.

But passing on the word through Liu Zhongzhou is to give him a face, and he has nothing to lose.

is still the magic capital Huang Gongzi restaurant, this time Liu Haijiao directly wrapped the upper and lower floors.

"Hello Uncle Liu." Liu Haijiao arrived a little earlier, and when Si Mingyu came in and saw him, he immediately took the initiative to greet him, after all, he was a junior.

"Mingyu is here, sit! Sit! Liu Haijiao greeted warmly.

Because he wanted to talk about business, Si Mingyu took Lin Shirui and Xiao Shixian here, and Liu Haijiao brought two deputies in addition to Liu Zhongzhou.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Si Mingyu provoked the topic: "Uncle Liu, you are in the shipping business, I want to ask you if you have any channels to get second-hand LNG ships?" ”

"This ship is not cheap, as far as I know, it is made as much as it takes, and there should be no second-hand ones." Liu Haijiao was a little unsure, turned his head and said to the deputy beside him: "Old Ma, you ask." ”

"Okay." Deputy Lao Ma immediately called and asked.

Don't look at the number of shipping companies in the world, but once there are people in the industry who sell second-hand ships, you can know with a little inquiry.

"I asked, there are no second-hand LNG ship pending orders at present." Lao Ma came back after the phone call and said.

"Does your Uncle Liu have a channel for the new ship?" Si Mingyu asked again.

"Let me explain Yu, this thing is not cheap, what are you buying this for?" Liu Haijiao didn't understand Si Mingyu's approach.

LNG is a natural gas liquefaction tanker and can only transport this one thing. Natural gas is not like other commodities, the buyer and seller can only transport it after the buyer and seller have negotiated it in advance, and the ship has been hired a long time ago.

It's not that you drive a ship and someone can load it for you, or someone buys it when you drive to the place, and many ports without special facilities can't even unload the cargo.

"Uncle Liu, don't hide it. This is a business introduced to me by a friend, although it does not make much money, but it is better than stable. ”

What Si Mingyu said was indeed the truth, what introduced him to this business was a large enterprise that carried out international aid in those small countries, and they had a supply of goods in their hands, but the buyer asked for too little money, so they subcontracted the business.

Liu Haijiao fully believes in Si Mingyu's words, if there is no good contact with upstream and downstream channels, no one will buy this kind of special ship, this is not like an ordinary container ship, which can be loaded with anyone's goods, and few people will buy it when the time comes.

This kind of thing has to be contacted by Liu Haijiao by phone in person, in fact, there are only a few shipyards in a few countries that can build this kind of LNG ship in the world, and it is not difficult to contact.

As a result, I made a round of phone calls to contact many people, but the fastest order will be scheduled for next year.

Si Mingyu didn't understand the shipbuilding industry at all, so he found Liu Haijiao. However, since he couldn't book a ship, he asked Liu Haijiao to give him a knowledge of this LNG ship and the shipping industry.

These things are not easy to catch for Liu Haijiao, who has lived on the boat for half his life.

"It turns out that our Modu Hudong Shipbuilding (Group) Co., Ltd. can build LNG ships." Si Mingyu knew that the shipbuilding of the magic capital was also very developed, but after listening to Liu Haijiao's explanation today, he knew that even LNG ships could be built.

Then you might as well give it a try.

So Si Mingyu called Gu Shuanghui and Wang Jianguo, and asked them to contact the people of the shipbuilding group. After a while, Wang Jianguo sent a contact number.

"Hello. Is it Uncle Chen? I am Si Mingyu, your contact information given to me by Uncle Wang Jianguo. Si Mingyu immediately called, because Wang Jianguo had just finished contacting the other party.

"Ah, Si Mingyu, Jianguo and I mentioned it, what do you have to do?" This is the boss of Hudong Shipbuilding (Group) Co., Ltd.

"Uncle Chen, that's what happened... So Si Mingyu briefly talked about buying a boat.

His solution is also very simple, throw money. The first is to contact the customer who placed the order, and if he can pick up the ship first, the one will give a transfer fee of 200 million Chinese dollars.

If this trick doesn't work, then ask Mr. Chen to find a way to help put his order in front of the line and work overtime to catch up with the construction period, he is still 200 million overtime per ship.

Generally, the cost of LNG ships is about 1.4 billion Chinese dollars, and the construction period is about 27 months, even if it can be a month in advance, Si Mingyu is willing to pay.

This is just a matter of effort, Mr. Chen immediately ordered the people below to contact, whether he succeeds or not, he is a personal favor.

Liu Haijiao watched Si Mingyu call, he couldn't hear what was said on the other side of the phone, but he could hear what Si Mingyu said clearly. He felt that this kid had a big background in his family, and he could directly contact the boss of Modu Hudong Shipbuilding (Group) Co., Ltd.

I haven't said that I am qualified to deal with this kind of big guy in the shipping industry for half my life.

At this point, the meal is over, and before leaving, Liu Haijiao apologized for not being able to help.

A few days later, a man claiming to be Mr. Chen's secretary called Mr. Si.

The other party said that Hudong Shipbuilding (Group) Co., Ltd. had no choice on its side, but they contacted the LNG shipyard in Smecta country, and a customer there proposed that if Si Mingyu was willing to pay a little fee, they could transfer the ship in their hands.

The order is a total of four LNG ships, and as long as each one gives him an additional 500 million Chinese yuan, he can transfer the order to Si Mingyu, and only accept four together.

The original cost of the four ships was only 56 Chinese dollars, but the extra 2 billion yuan had to be given, and the other party had a good calculation. Or that the other party is deliberately making things difficult, and he has calculated that Si Mingyu can't pay this money.

Isn't it two billion, Si Mingyu gritted his teeth: "Give!" ”

A total of 7.6 billion Chinese dollars, Si Mingyu doesn't have so much money now, so take out a mortgage. Si Mingyu has excellent performance stocks in his hands, and he can lend out the money if he mortgages it casually.

He immediately arranged for Xiao Shixian to connect with General Secretary Chen, went to Smecta to sign the agreement, and arranged for Bian Guohai to handle the loan matters. Of course, Mr. Chen couldn't help him, and he couldn't accept gifts as the boss of the shipyard, so he donated two Hope Primary Schools in the name of Mr. Chen.

It's not that Si Mingyu is stupid and has a lot of money, but that the channel for buying and selling natural gas is exclusive, so he can start work early and make money early, and he can slowly make up for this additional cost.

A few days later, Xiao Shixian came with the news that the contract had been signed and the ship would be handed over on February 24 of the following year.
