Chapter 293: Not enough money to spend
Chen Shen really didn't expect that Xiaoyu still had such a good job in his hands.
That is Tsingshan Group, this company has been on the cusp of great power confrontation for a long time, and its business scope is all over the world, and because of the particularity of the company's business, the areas in which they operate are often the kind of poor, backward, and dangerous areas.
Because of this, their demand for security services is also staggering.
According to Chen Shen's previous understanding, companies like Tsingshan Group were often forced to use small local companies or cooperate directly with local authorities because they could not use large international security groups for security services in the past.
In this case, they either can't really enjoy the service in place, or they have to pay a considerable price for the benefit cake.
This is undoubtedly a loss, so in fact, the demand for "trustworthy security companies" in the North Side is extremely strong, and there have even been several attempts to set up offshore companies overseas to provide security services, but in the end, these short-lived companies have disappeared for a variety of unexplained reasons.
And now, the emergence of the Dongfeng Corps fills this vacancy.
If we can do a good job in this single business of Tsingshan Group, then the business scope of the Dongfeng Corps will really expand to the world.
As long as it can expand globally, one day, whether in terms of scale or professionalism, the Dongfeng Corps will gradually approach the MPRI, and even eventually surpass them.
True, the MPRI, although ostensibly a military contractor, is in fact a "private soldier" of the Pentagon.
But so what?
As long as you dare to wear no clothes, I will dare to see you and beat you once!
Chen Shen couldn't wait to send good wishes to MPRI, but anyway, it was too early to do this.
After all, I still have a lot of money to deal with and a lot of boats and cars to arrange.
So, when Xiaoyu went out to reorganize her intelligence network in the Dachili area, Chen Shen finally took a break and met Peng Xucheng and Xu You, who had already arrived in Dachili.
In the past few days, Peng Xucheng carried out a bloody purge of the remnants of Wanfeng Group as Chen Shen expected, and used the simplest means and the highest efficiency to capture Wanfeng Group back into his hands.
As for the three companies that Chen Shen "seized" from Zhao Jialiang, he was not soft at all.
It just so happened that Wanfeng Group already had a logistics business, but this time it directly reduced staff and increased efficiency, and was annexed to Wanfeng Logistics and Huamei Trading Company.
Overall, the reception of the two of them went quite smoothly.
Although according to Peng Xucheng's prediction, there is still a long way to go in the future and there are quite a lot of places to be run-in, but in this kind of place where there are no rules, as long as "control" is achieved, everything is easy to say.
Sitting in the villa of the Dongfeng Corps branch, Peng Xucheng counted Chen Shen's current properties and assets one by one, and Chen Shen didn't realize until this time that he had really become a rich man.
Because the current plate is too big and there are too many subsidiaries, I still follow the old idea of Wanfeng Group and directly use the shell of Wanfeng Group as the main body of management responsibility, but in order to clarify the equity, I plan to set up Dongfeng Investment Holding Co., Ltd. in Thailand to achieve 100% control of Wanfeng Group."
"At the same time, Wanfeng Group has taken a downward stake in Huamei Trade Services Company and Wanfeng Logistics, removed other unnecessary subsidiaries, and simplified the shareholding structure as much as possible."
"In the future, the equity distribution between us will be directly distributed with the equity of Dongfeng Investment Holding Co., Ltd., and the subsequent Dongfeng Private Armed Forces Company established in Indonesia will also enter the holding sequence of Dongfeng Investment Holding Co., Ltd."
"The biggest advantage of this is that the whole group can get the legal support of a sovereign state, because Thailand allows the formation of private armed companies."
"Of course, if there is a need in the future, we can also go to Cayman or Virgin to register a company and conduct business offshore."
"However, I suggest that you do not do this, although the tax in Thailand is still relatively heavy, but correspondingly, it can provide us with a certain amount of convenience and shelter."
"Wanfeng Group has been operating like this before, and the safety is still quite guaranteed."
"Then based on the current structure, our entire company business is divided into three major parts, trade, logistics and private armed services."
"These three businesses complement each other and are quite related, so in order to solve the transaction problems between various companies, we also need to develop a set of mature related party settlement rules."
"I suggested that we use the IMB management consulting team to develop a customized plan for us, which costs a lot of money, but with their advice, it can actually be used as a legal endorsement for us."
"In addition."
"Wait."
Chen Shen raised his hand to interrupt Peng Xucheng's words, and now he really heard a little too much.
He can't say that he doesn't know anything about international trade and company equity, but his understanding is limited, and if he really asks him to listen to the whole set of things Peng Xucheng said, his head is afraid that it will explode.
So, he said bluntly:
"I can leave these specific matters to you, and I only ask for one point, which is absolute control over the company."
"As long as you make sure of that, you can make decisions about the camera."
"Understood."
Peng Xucheng nodded solemnly, and then said:
"So that's why we're setting up Dongfeng Investment Holding Company, which is to guarantee your absolute control over the Dongfeng Corps."
"And with the control of the Dongfeng Corps, I believe that no matter how big the company grows in the future, no one will be stupid enough to snatch your things."
"As for me, Xu You, and other business partners in the future, we only share profits and no longer participate in the operation of military and military affairs."
"According to the previous asset ratio of Wanfeng Group and Huamei Commercial Bank, the two of us each hold 5% of the shares in Dongfeng Investment Holdings, and a total of 10% of the shares, and participate in the decision-making according to the major shareholders, but only have the right to make suggestions."
Good guys, this is a straight shot.
There was no need for a glass of wine to release the military power, Peng Xucheng made a few operations, and directly picked himself and Xu You cleanly.
For them, this is a "concession", but from another point of view, how can it not be a kind of wisdom?
After all, no one really wants to live a life of fighting and killing, and if they can grow under the shelter of a big tree, who wants to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire?
Chen Shen is very satisfied with Peng Xucheng's consciousness, and under his professional operation, the framework of the entire PMC Group has indeed been built in earnest.
Similarly, Xu You had no opinion on this plan, and after chatting about the company, Peng Xucheng began to talk about more specific company assets.
"At present, I have preliminarily cleaned up all the company's books - of course, we still need to establish a set of serious financial processes in the future."
"Wanfeng Group originally had a plan to regularize its finances, but it collapsed directly before it could be completed."
"So, on that basis, we have to continue to finish what we haven't done."
"It's a long way to go - from the current point of view, the assets of the entire Dongfeng Investment Holding Company are about 480 million US dollars, of which 400 million US dollars are the loot proceeds this time, including cash, bank deposits and cash equivalents, all of which I put in the cash in hand account. This means that it is a subject that can be used directly in a short period of time. β
"The remaining is close to 100 million US dollars, including fixed assets such as three hotels, casinos, ships, vehicles, etc., as well as the inventory value and accounts receivable value of Huamei Company in the early stage, the value of accounts receivable and the value of equipment of Dongfeng Corps."
"Stop!"
Chen Shen reluctantly interrupted again, he really had nothing to say about Peng Xucheng's professionalism, but this kid couldn't hold it as soon as he talked about it, and he didn't think about whether he could understand it or not, which was really unbearable.
It was Xu You on the side, Peng Xucheng nodded as he spoke, as if there was no difficulty at all
It seems that doing business in Pubei, although the soil is dirty, although the barbarism is barbaric, some basic professional skills, they are not bad at all.
Good guy, it looks like I'm going to have to find a chance to make up for my financial knowledge.
After all, I still have to be big in the future, and as my own boss, I can't really just fight.
Thinking of this, Chen Shen pondered for a moment, and then asked:
"I don't listen to complicated financial data, and now I want to ask, how much cash can I use to start my next business?"
"$300 million."
Peng Xucheng replied immediately.
"So much?"
Chen Shen was stunned.
"Yes, it's abnormal, it's a bit too much money for a company with only $500 million in assets."
"Normally, 500 million assets, cash flow can have 50 million, that's too healthy, now. It can only be said that after this battle, we have gained too much weight and have not had time to digest it. β
"So, we definitely have to digest these funds as soon as possible - I think the main thing is to invest in international trade, but now we definitely can't rush it."
"At the same time, the category of trade can't sell body armor anymore, right? Pu Bei can't digest this thing at all. β
"Pubei can't digest it, so sell it to Africa and the Middle East, and there are people there who want body armor."
Chen Shen spoke decisively, in his impression, the Middle East and Africa are about to be chaotic again, what Ethiopia, Congo, Angola, Uganda, Syria, Iran, Libya
Where is there no demand for body armor?
Not to mention 300 million US dollars of body armor, even if it is 3 billion, people can swallow it.
But he is just a simple idea, in fact, even if he wants to sell body armor, he does not sell it so rudely.
And Peng Xucheng's consideration was very similar to him, after hearing Chen Shen's words, he immediately spoke:
"We can sell it, but we can't just sell it, we still have to open up as many categories of goods as possible."
"At the same time, to carry out ocean trade, we must at least open up the transportation route from Tachili to the port, which is really not easy to do."
"When we go to Thailand, we will be stripped of a layer of skin before the goods arrive in Hong Kong, and we won't be able to get through at all if we go to Bagan."
"Either we will set up a foreign trade company directly in the north and ship goods from the north, or we can only try to make high-value goods categories."
"How about buying a plane?"
Chen Shen said coldly.
"Huh? Big planes? Then you need to have an airline route. That's too far. β
Hearing this, Chen Shen couldn't help frowning.
Indeed, big money to do international trade just sounds beautiful.
Why can't Pubei and the Golden Triangle develop, is it really because of the so-called warlord melee and unstable order?
The economic base can determine the superstructure.
Essentially, isn't it because the transportation in this place is too backward that the commodity trade cannot be carried out smoothly?
And the drug trade is also a product of this economic foundation-ββ because this thing is the most typical high-value goods in Peng Xucheng's mouth.
"Then wait a little longer."
Chen Shen opened his mouth and said.
Now he really understands the pain of having money that can't be spent, 300 million US dollars smashed in his hands, and there is no place to use it at all, who do you reason with?
And at this moment, Xu You spoke.
He said:
"Money has to be spent, and it can't be kept in the bank."
"It's not a good thing for us to have such a large sum of money in our hands, and the lesson of Zhao Jialiang is right in front of us."
"My advice is, don't think about what money makes money, and solve the problem of security first."
"The Dongfeng Corps must expand its recruitment and upgrade its equipment."
"We will spend at least $200 million on this money, recruit people first, buy guns first, and buy guns first."
"How can it not be spent? An AH-2 is now priced at about $4 million in the Middle East, not to mention anything else, it will cost 40 million to build an artillery company, and I haven't even mentioned ammunition and artillery. β
"What are 10 guns? Zhao Jialiang has more than 30 guns, and there is no scum left, even in the Seventh Brigade, there are more than a dozen cannons of all sizes. β
"In addition, I also talked to the white dog in the past two days, and he almost died on the street, and he was deeply touched, saying that the Dongfeng Corps lacked self-propelled artillery."
"There are only a few self-propelled guns that we can buy now, the G6 from South Africa, the SH3 from the north - but this thing has to be bought from Rwanda, and there is the K-9 from South Korea."
"These three guns are not cheap, and the SH3 costs almost $21 million a piece."
"You wait a minute."
Chen Shen interrupted Xu You's words, and then asked:
"Why are you so familiar with these?"
Boss, that's what I do. In the past, Huamei Commercial House sold heavy machine guns at most, but that doesn't mean I don't want to sell guns."
"Okay. But where is SH3 so expensive? Isn't the export price of SH3 only 7.5 million? β
"7.5 million that's the price to Rwanda! If we want to buy it back, it means that people have to do a good job in China, and then we still have a good relationship to ship it in, and 21 million is no longer expensive. β
"I've inquired, boss, do you know how much Zhao Jialiang's 69 is?"
"How much?"
Chen Shen asked subconsciously.
"27 million, dollars! How much does 69 cost? When this thing was exported in the 80s, the unit price was only 500,000 US dollars! Even the current public export price is only $2 million. β
"However, if you want to ship this thing to Pubei, the price will be differentβthese things will never be sold to us in the north, right?"
"Understood."
Chen Shen breathed a long sigh of relief.
Originally, I thought I had a lot of money, but now I look at it. Pinch, it's not enough to spend!
No, we have to open up the source of goods as soon as possible and bring down the price of arms in Pubei.
Otherwise, the money spent is really a little too distressing.ββ
But then again, you can't really buy these things without buying them.
I want to go to Indonesia and engage in an international large company, but Pubei is still a basic market after all.
In addition, Kachin and Wenbang are also problems that they must solve, they don't have tanks in their hands, and they are barely able to fight vertically and horizontally, why do you want to fight Kachin?
Crazy begging, right?
Buy, buy the!
So, Chen Shen slapped the table violently and finally made a decision.
"Buy!"
"Pile up people, pile up heavy equipment!"
"If you want to do it, you will do it."
"Don't worry about the money, I've already got a big contract, and when this order is completed, our scope of activities can be expanded to the whole world logically."
"At that time, the equipment will be cheap!"
"Get me five SH3s first, and then two 69s - VT4s will do."
"Leave the recruitment to the old pig."
"Lower the standard, we will start on two lines, and the scale and quality will be carried out!"
