Chapter 136: Bait

When the four of them reported to the boss behind them, they were just using financial means, business competition and other methods to target a nouveau riche with no background, and some revelations and smears during this period were just a sideshow, so there was no objection to this kind of report that concealed most of the facts.

In fact, the four of them didn't think there would be a problem, after all, the target of the plan was Si Mingyu, who was just a twenty-year-old orphan.

As for communicating with the boss behind it in order to prevent Gu Shuanghui and Wang Jianguo from ending up, most of the methods used by the four of them are legal, as long as the two of them are restrained and do not use official means, it is difficult to interfere with the actions of the four people.

The first thing to do is to choose a suitable foreign company to send this cooperation invitation. This aspect is not a problem, the four of them have a lot of vest companies in their hands, but they have to pick one that can stand up to inspection.

World Financial Center, Mingyu Group.

"Please, both." Lin Shirui walked into Si Mingyu's office with two foreigners in suits and leather shoes.

"Mr. Division, Mr. Reif, and Mr. Kendall have arrived."

"Mr. Reif, Mr. Kendall." Si Mingyu and Xiao Shixian greeted and shook hands with the two in English.

After taking their seats, the two sides began to talk.

At the last charity auction, Si Mingyu was in the limelight, and many people from all walks of life came up to make friends, but he was troublesome, so he left Xiao Shixian's contact information to them, and the two foreigners contacted Xiao Shixian a few days ago and said that they wanted to talk about international trade.

They represent a European company that needs to import natural gas. This is normal, after all, Europe has chosen natural gas as a fuel instead of coal and nuclear power in recent years due to environmental trends.

Natural gas mainly relies on pipeline transportation and LNG ships, and there is no need to mention pipeline gas transmission unless you are looking for suppliers in countries that have gas pipelines.

The two said that their company has its own gas supplier, and the location of the oil and gas field happens to be close to the port, so LNG ships have become the first choice.

The existing ships either have long-term contracts or have a stable customer base, and the ships that can be launched in the short term are found to have no transportation contracts for two of the four ships under the name of Dongya Mingyu Trading Co., Ltd., so they came to the door.

Xiao Shixian's various qualifications of this company naturally had to be reviewed, and he found a friend in Europe through his relationship to verify that this was a serious trading company.

But these two ships are very important, and even Xiao Shixian, as the manager of the trading company, cannot make decisions on his own, so he can only let the boss decide.

The other party has needs, Si Mingyu has a ship in his hand, and cooperation is naturally a win-win situation.

You must know that natural gas is not only a fuel, but also used in chemical and industrial production, and the other party said that it needs to increase the purchase volume because of the increase in gas demand due to the expansion of the production line of its partner.

This is fine from any point of view, the only thing to talk about is where to load the ship and where to unload.

"Mr. Si, our natural gas is set sail from the east coast of the Fifty States Commonwealth and arrives in France, Europe." Leif said as he pulled out a document and looked at it.

"How long is the round trip?" Si Mingyu asked again.

"If you count loading and unloading, you can do it in a month." This is Xiao Shixian's answer, he has already done his research.

Since the other party came to the door, the boat was empty and empty, so it was better to settle it like this.

So Si Mingyu said: "I don't think this business is a problem." But it depends on how the contract is drafted. ”

When Kendall heard this, he immediately took out a document and said, "There is no problem with the contract, I brought a template for you to take a look at first." ”

It seems that the other party's demand for LNG ships is very urgent, so the price can be discussed.

The contract naturally needs to be reviewed by professionals, and Xiao Shixian immediately asked the lawyer who was waiting outside to come in. Trading companies are doing business with foreign countries, and a lawyer who specializes in cross-border business cooperation is a must-have.

After a while, the lawyer finished reading it, and he looked up and said: "Mr. Si, Mr. Xiao, there is no problem with the standard template used in the contract, and I will translate the price to the two of you." ”

Saying that, he simply wrote out the price of the charter and related expenses, in fact, with Si Mingyu and Xiao Shixian's English level, they can also understand it, but they didn't stop the lawyers from making this money.

"In principle, it's no problem, Uncle Xiao, you can talk to them again." Si Mingyu's words, Xiao Shixian immediately understood, business can be done, but the price has to continue to rise.

"Okay." Xiao Shixian nodded, and then said, "Please come with me, and we will study the details of the contract again." ”

"Thank you very much, Mr. Si." The two of them saw the situation and knew that the boss in front of them had already agreed, so it would be easy to do.

In fact, the negotiation was very fast, although the negotiation skills of the two were good, but they just needed the boat, and they didn't dare to bet that they could find the boat in addition to this, or that they could find the other party's asking price lower than this, so they agreed after some struggle.

However, the two made a request, in order to ensure the smooth performance of the contract, they must go to the European company location for the signing ceremony, in accordance with EU law.

Xiao Shixian also agreed to this request after consulting a lawyer, after all, where the law must also protect legal contracts. But the two said that not only Xiao Shixian, the manager of the trading company, but also Si Mingyu, as the boss, had to sign.

Si Mingyu was very puzzled by this request, after all, as the person in charge of Xiao Shixian Trading Company, he was fully qualified to be fully responsible for the signing ceremony, and he didn't need to go there himself. But the two insisted, and were even willing to pay for it.

In their words, the buyers who buy gas from them are very strong, the production line is already under construction, and if the gas cannot be supplied on time due to transportation reasons, there will be huge losses, so it is necessary to put an end to all breach of contract.

Yes, Huaxia does not support high liquidated damages, but if it is signed in other countries, it is indeed possible to pay high liquidated damages if it complies with local laws.

Therefore, Si Mingyu and Xiao Shixian both thought that the other party wanted to do so so so that they went over to sign the contract. But since they want to perform the contract truthfully, no matter how much the liquidated damages are, it has no impact on them, and this is binding on both parties, and the other party must compensate if they fail to perform.

Then it doesn't matter if you go to Europe like this, after all, it's to make money.

So the two sides initialed a letter of intent, and the other party really called 200,000 euros as promised.
