Chen Qing, who was wearing a ponytail, a black professional skirt, and a brown bag on her shoulders, stood frozen on the spot the moment she opened the door.
"You're here." Lu Fan nodded. It was he who arranged for Chen Qing to come and look after the house. It was just after get off work time, and Chen Qing rushed over immediately. She could handle both work and personal matters, and she was a very competent person. secretary.
"Mr. Lu, I have sorted out the cooperation details for Binhai Trading Company that you arranged before. You happen to be here. Do you want me to bring them to you now?"
Chen Qing asked with a smile, naturally turning taking care of the house into a work report.
Lu Fan thought for a while and said, "Come in and talk."
The two of them sat face to face on the sofa in the living room. Lu Fan stared at the thick cooperation documents in his hands, his eyes flashing with thought from time to time.
"Binhai Trading, as the largest partner of North Port, imports and exports about 300 million goods every year. Although it is only a middleman, its 10% handling fee alone makes a net profit of 300 million a year.
Ten million, we plan to invest one hundred million this time to acquire Binhai Trading. If it operates normally, we can pay back the capital in three years, which is a very cost-effective deal." Chen Qing explained.
"How could such a profitable company suddenly want to change hands?" Lu Fan looked at the financial bills sent by Binhai Trading. They saw a sharp increase in net profits every year. There was no loss in a year, and there were no costs. He just used them.
The resources in Beigang contacted domestic and foreign companies to import and export goods. This was simply a rootless money tree. How could the Fu family suddenly change hands because they thought the money was too much?
"That's right, according to the person in charge of Binhai Trading, with the expansion of maritime transport in recent years, more and more professional shipping companies have appeared. These companies have closer ties with the ports than they do, and have their own ships and routes.
Things are done more professionally, so more and more merchants are starting to cooperate with such professional companies. Their customer base is getting smaller and smaller, and they want to take advantage of the cold winter in the industry to change hands in advance to avoid financial losses," said Chen Qing.
.
Lu Fan nodded. Compared to professional shipping companies, Binhai Trading was just a middleman that earned the price difference. In the past, channels were blocked and information was opaque. Companies like them were needed to connect two transoceanic trading groups, but now
With the current open system, policies are becoming more relaxed, and information is becoming more and more transparent. Everyone can bypass them and directly find freight ports and freighters to seamlessly connect. There is no need for such middlemen.
"In this case, why should we take over? You said it yourself, Binhai Trading has almost no room for survival." Lu Fan put down the document and asked.
Chen Qing explained with a smile: "Mr. Liu, who is in charge of this project, thinks this way. Although the current market is no longer conducive to the survival of Binhai commerce, as the largest real estate developer in Nandu, the amount of building materials we consume every year is astronomical.
Digital, it owns hundreds of building materials factories. However, as the real estate market has declined in recent years, the number of construction sites has gradually decreased. Many of our building materials factories are facing the risk of shutdown and closure. Tens of thousands of employees will be laid off and unemployed.
We must find a way to prevent this from happening, which will bring huge losses to the company."
"So? You just plan to do import and export trade." Lu Fan said.
Chen Qing glanced at him in surprise, nodded and said: "Yes, according to our marketing department's inspection of the overseas building materials market, with the major reforms in Saudi Arabia and various Southeast Asian countries in recent years, these places are making drastic changes.
Land development is similar to the background of our country thirty years ago, and their largest importer of building materials is China. The building materials imported from China account for more than 50% of their local construction materials every year. Mr. Liu thinks this is an excellent
We have a ready-made building materials factory and qualifications, and by integrating the resources of Bin Trading, we can get started immediately. Since it increases the company's profits, it also saves the company from the risk of bankruptcy of hundreds of building materials factories, killing two birds with one stone."
Lu Fan nodded. China is known as the world's largest commercial factory and the engine of the entire international market. Taking advantage of this advantage, many traditional industries that were on the verge of bankruptcy in recent years have stepped up their transformation and engaged in import and export trade, making a lot of money.
His net worth and market value skyrocketed.
Huarong has strength, capital, and factories, but it lacks mature and complete transnational business resources. In business, time is money. Now that there is a ready-made coastal business that they can start with, why wouldn't they?
"Who is in charge of this project over at Binhai?" Lu Fan asked.
"Zhao Qian, general manager of Binhai Trading Company."
Chen Qing replied, but then she frowned and said, "I don't know what happened to him. He was absent from the third round of negotiations at noon today for no reason without even a phone call. Mr. Wu is so angry now that he almost
