The Rebirth of the Financial Hegemon - Vol 3 Chapter 16

Zhao Jiangchuan’s face was full of reluctance.

In the eyes, it’s all about your ruthless eyes.

Like that, it was as if someone had dug a piece of meat out of him.

But in fact, this fellow’s heart is almost happy.

In Ludao in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, foreign trade at sea was quite developed, and the ship repairing and building industry also rose and developed with it.

At this time, it can even be chased before the **** Sanbao goes to Nanyang.

It was at that time that Zheng Chenggong built ships on Ludao and crossed east to Taiwan to fight against the Dutch colonists.

In the Qing Dynasty, especially after the establishment of the five-port trade, the shipbuilding industry prospered with the active fishery and the needs of economic development.

During the late Qing Dynasty, shipyards in Xiamen were mainly concentrated in Shapowei, Heshangao, Liaozaihou, Jiabanliao and newly reclaimed land.

One of the most famous shipyards is the Xiamen Dock Company, which was founded by the British in 1858 on the newly reclaimed land.

In Ludao Dock Company, there is the first thousand-ton granite dry dock in China, which is one of the birthplaces of modern industry in China.

British writer Martin once called it “the first seedling of China’s machine industry”.

In 1983, Ludao Shipyard took the lead in moving from the military product market to the international ship market, and produced a variety of civilian ships exported to Hong Kong and Peru.

It can be said that due to its special geographical location, Ludao Shipyard has witnessed many firsts in China’s shipbuilding industry.

But no matter how glorious the history, it cannot stand the erosion of time.

Ludao Shipyard mainly produces civil bulk carriers.

However, in the past year, the prices of global bulk resources have generally declined.

Crude oil, which had a maximum of $24 a barrel, fell to $13.

Bulk materials such as copper and iron ore also fell by almost half.

When prices fall, no one can make money.

Therefore, the demand in the transportation market has been greatly reduced, resulting in a simultaneous plummet in freight charges in the global shipping market.

This fall, there is a problem.

Two years ago, Ludao Shipyard undertook thirteen 5,000-ton bulk carriers from the Canadian Peruvian Copper Company.

Value, $180 million.

But when it was completed and delivered six months ago, the Canadian shipowner chose to abandon the ship.

Because the construction of ships generally requires a 20% deposit in advance according to industry regulations.

However, due to the slump in commodity prices in the international market and the rapid reduction in freight costs, the prices of finished ships have also fallen synchronously.

As low as the market price, only 50% of the original price can be customized for another boat.

That is to say, if the shipowner buys the pre-customized ship at the original price, it will directly incur a loss of 30%.

Therefore, the Canadian Peruvian Copper Company chose to abandon the ship.

This abandoned ship was a nightmare for Ludao Shipyard.

Like most companies, Ludao Shipyard built these thirteen bulk carriers, and most of the funds were borrowed from banks.

As soon as the shipowner abandons the ship, it means that all the freight has fallen into the hands of the shipyard itself.

Coupled with the continued downturn in the shipping market, Ludao Shipyard did not sell these ships even after half a year.

If you can’t sell the boat, you can’t change the bank’s money.

Under the insolvency, Ludao Shipyard has only one way to go.

Waiting for bankruptcy.

For this matter, Xiao Jialiang has been having a headache for a long time.

Because shipyards are no better than other industries.

A company of the size of Ludao Shipyard can support more than 1,000 people.

Once the shutdown goes bankrupt, more than 1,000 people will immediately become homeless.

Security has been bad enough in recent years.

In addition, more than 1,000 people are unemployed, and more than 1,000 families are helpless.

God knows what a mess it will be.

To this end, Xiao Jialiang thought of countless ways to save Ludao Shipyard.

It’s just that in the huge debt and the bottomless abyss of the ship market, there is simply no powerful company to take over.

Forced to do so, Xiao Jialiang even found the Southeast Group standing on Zhang Jiajun’s side.

But in the end it was still fruitless.

The Huang family was unable to draw out hundreds of millions of cash due to the heavy losses in the red bean market.

Without capital injection, Ludao Shipyard cannot come back to life.

There is no other way out than bankruptcy.

Therefore, Xiao Jialiang put his attention on Zhao Jiangchuan.

It would be a shame to God to leave such a rich man alone.

“200 million. 200 million head office.”

Of course.

This is simply a good thing that falls from the sky, how can it not be done.

What will the future market look like?

That’s naturally good and couldn’t be better.

In a few years, Huaxia will enter a state of rapid development and even become the strongest engine of the global economy.

At that time, China’s shipbuilding industry will gradually enter the peak state.

At its peak, China’s shipbuilding industry even occupied half of the world.

Lots of orders are available.

With the status of Heron Island Shipyard, it can be turned up again with almost no investment.

Just sprinkle a little money and it will become an old hen that lays golden eggs.

If it works again and goes public.

That is, it is not impossible to have dozens of hundreds of times the profit.

Zhao Jiangchuan was overjoyed.

Now Xiao Jialiang is begging him.

But if he waited for three or two years, he would not be able to ask for such a good thing even if he went to ask Xiao Jialiang.

Not to mention the future value of Heron Island Shipyard.

It can only be said that the thirteen bulk carriers currently rotten in the hands of Ludao Shipyard are a huge wealth.

Not to say much.

As long as it is placed for three years, the thirteen bulk carriers will probably have to double the price.

What’s more, Ludao Shipyard has no problems in other aspects except for funding.

Once you get your hands on the injection of funds, it is another leading shipyard that is alive and kicking.

Zhao Jiangchuan calmly pinched his thigh.

He bared his teeth and grinned impatiently.

“I’m afraid of you. It’s only 200 million, and nothing more.”

Xiao Jialiang was overjoyed.

As long as the Ludao Shipyard can be revitalized, the thousands of people in the factory will not lose their jobs.

“Jiangchuan, I really didn’t see the wrong person. I thank you for the employees of Ludao Shipyard, otherwise…”

“Stop.”

Zhao Jiangchuan did not dare to let Xiao Jialiang go on.

After a few years, Xiao Jialiang found out that he had been tricked, so he had to fight with him.

Now, it is business to take control of the shipyard first and run away.

Since Heron Island Shipyard has been in a state of shutdown waiting for bankruptcy, many things have been simplified a lot.

In the end, Zhao Jiangchuan and Xiao Jialiang reached an agreement.

Dianshichengjin acquired 70% of Ludao Shipyard at a price of 200 million yuan.

The remaining 30% of the shares are still owned by Ludao SASAC.

After the two negotiated, Zhao Jiangchuan sighed and went out the door.

With that aggrieved look on his face, Xiao Jialiang had no choice but to speak out continuously to comfort him.

no way.

In case Zhao Jiangchuan regrets looking back ~www.mtlnovel.com~ where can he go to find investors.

under the administration building.

Zhao Jiangchuan glared at Xiao Jialiang angrily before turning around and getting into the car.

Only Xiao Jialiang was left standing embarrassed.

Hey, this time is really embarrassing for this kid.

If there is a chance in the future, I hope to make up for it.

“boom”

The car started slowly.

Xiao Jialiang waved at the car that was slowly leaving before turning to go upstairs.

So Xiao Jialiang didn’t realize that Zhao Jiangchuan in the car was full of treacherous smiles like a capitalist.

This time, it made a lot of money.

Old Xiao, I hope you don’t try to find me desperately in the future.
