Chapter six hundred and twenty-four other countries, old friends
Next, Parker opened the notebook he had prepared, opened a folder on the desktop, clicked on the high-definition digital photos inside one by one, and introduced: "The six oil tankers are all produced by the Brooke Shipyard in Panama.
There are all Suezmax oil tankers, two of which are 60,000-ton class that left the shipyard last year, the 100,000-ton class that just left the shipyard, and the other three 50,000-ton class ships that were put into sea less than five years ago."
Several cruise ships all have the same red background, dark hulls, gray decks, and a red crude oil pipeline extending from the head to the stern of the four-story cockpit. They are indeed Suezmax tankers.
Parker clicked through them one by one and introduced them. There were about 20 photos of the appearance. The smallest one was more than 100 meters long. The 100,000-ton oil tanker was more than 250 meters long. It was really a giant.
.As for the other photos, they are the internal structure of the tanker and six detailed parameters of the tanker.
To be honest, Shi Zhong didn't know how to identify oil tankers at all. After looking at them for a long time, he felt that the appearance of these ships was quite new. In terms of all aspects of data, according to Andrew's opinion, they were pretty good, and he was quite satisfied.
But it doesn't show up on the face.
Parker's quotation is 20 million U.S. dollars for each 50,000-ton oil tanker, 30 million U.S. dollars for each 60,000-ton oil tanker, and 50 million U.S. dollars for each 100,000-ton oil tanker. If Parker's quotation is followed, then Shi Zhong wants to buy it.
170 million US dollars.
Shi Zhong frowned and said unhappily: "Mr. Parker, since you have no sincerity in doing business with me, why did you let me fly here from China?"
"Mr. Shi, under the witness of God, my sincerity is as high as the sky!" Parker said.
"Since you are sincere, I would like to ask, except for the 100,000-ton tanker, are all of your six oil tankers second-hand? Since they are second-hand, the price is still so high, isn't it?
What's the point of being insincere?" Shi Zhong said. He was a little annoyed. Damn, a 50,000-ton model that has been in the sea for four or five years dared to quote 20 million US dollars. Damn, if I add 10 million, it would be enough to buy a brand new one.
Parker's face turned red, but he still said: "Mr. Shi, you may not know our family's business philosophy. Our business philosophy is that our maintenance of mechanical equipment is the best in the world, and the maintenance funds invested every year are countless.
The number of pheasants”
Shi Zhong interrupted: "I admire your family's business philosophy very much, but obviously, now is not the time to discuss this. I just want to ask, are you really sure about the transfer price of your 50,000-ton oil tanker that has been in the sea for four years?
Is it 20 million US dollars?" Shi Zhong looked directly at Parker, who couldn't help but dodge.
Andrew was also slightly unhappy and said: "Parker, we have known each other for five years, and your offer is really embarrassing!"
Parker's face turned red, a little embarrassed, and said: "What does Mr. Yishi mean, how do you plan to bid?"
"$10 million for the 50,000-ton class, 15 million U.S. dollars for the 60,000-ton class, and 45 million U.S. dollars for the 100,000-ton class. This is my quotation!" Shi Zhong thought for a while and said a series of numbers.
"This is impossible? Mr. Shi, you are kidding!" Parker almost stood up, looking at Shi Zhong's expression as if he were looking at a madman. Andrew also opened his mouth, but in the end he did not speak, but in his heart
I felt that Shi Zhong was really good at bargaining, and he cut off 65 million US dollars in one fell swoop. Although they were second-hand goods, there was no need to be so ruthless. You must know that Shi Zhong wanted to buy six brand new oil tankers like this, at least
It requires more than 200 million US dollars.
"However, now that the world's oil transportation industry is sluggish, if your family wants to get liquidity as soon as possible, I am the only one, and I pay it in one go. Besides, the price I offer is not low. After all, who knows you
Do some of our oil tankers have problems of this kind?" Shi Zhong shrugged.
"No, no, it's impossible to buy six such oil tankers for 105 million US dollars. If I agree to your offer, my family will suffer huge losses, and I will be condemned by my family for this!"
Parker quickly shook his head.
"Then Mr. Parker, can we go visit your fleet? You have also seen that I come with great sincerity. It is normal for the quotations of both parties to conflict. We can discuss it slowly, no
Huh?" Shi Zhong laughed.
At this time, Parker also put away his excitement and apologized to Shi Zhong in a gentlemanly manner: "I'm sorry, Mr. Shi, please forgive me for my rudeness just now!"
Soon, the two sides became friendly again, and then Shi Zhong followed Parker to visit the oil tanker in Venice Port. Andrew did not go because he had some matters to deal with in the Venice industry, but Parker invited him to have dinner with him.
.
Arriving at the harbor, this was the first time Shi Zhong saw an oil tanker. He walked on the deck, looked at the red oil pipeline, and listened to Parker's introduction. Shi Zhong nodded from time to time and asked a few questions. Parker was dedicated.
answer.
After almost finishing the visit, Shi Zhong suddenly said: "Mr. Parker, do you know anyone from the Anchel family?"
Parker was stunned, and then said: "The Anchel family is one of the five major families in Rome, but obviously, our family's strength is not enough to get to know them. I know them, but they don't know me!" Parker made a small speech.
It's a joke, but the envy hidden in his eyes cannot escape Shi Zhong's insight.
Shi Zhong smiled and said, "Maybe I can introduce you to him!"
"Oh? Does Mr. Shi have a relationship with a senior member of the Anchel family?" Parker asked, but he didn't really believe it. The major families in Rome are the most xenophobic. It's okay to do business with them, but business is business.
, they will never have anything to do with you, they claim to be real aristocrats. However, considering that the Chinese young man in front of you even knows British aristocrats like Andrew, he may not really know the Anchel family.
"Haha, I think we should go back, don't let Marquis Shengdelu starve!" Shi Zhong laughed and changed the subject, without giving Parker a positive answer. The sentence he just asked was just a spur of the moment question.
, and had no intention of asking Parker to give him any preferential treatment for the sake of the Anchel family.
For dinner, of course, we eat typical European aristocratic food. The entire empty restaurant is just Shizhong Parker and Andrew sitting at the long table. There are many rules, and when eating, you can only hear the sound of chewing food.
.
After finally getting rid of the food, Shi Zhong breathed a sigh of relief. He felt so depressed even after eating the whole meal. It was a pain in the ass for the Western nobles.
Agreeing to continue discussing matters the next day, Shi Zhong left with Andrew.
In the car, Andrew handed Shi Zhong a bank card and said: "Eighty million U.S. dollars, every penny is a lot!"
Shi Zhong took it without courtesy and said with a smile: "Andrew, how many days will you stay in Venice?"
Andrew smiled bitterly and said: "I am born to work hard. In addition to introducing Parker to you, this trip to Venice is to deal with several retail industries here. I have to fly back to London tomorrow. There are a lot of things waiting there.
Let me handle it, you can only rely on yourself here!"
The car stopped in front of the hotel. Andrew didn't get out of the car and said to Shi Zhong: "Shi, don't you need me to take you to see the style of Venice?"
"Obviously, you didn't mean what you said. I heard it when you called just now. There is a dissatisfied beauty waiting for your reward!" Shi Zhong said with a teasing tone.
road.
Andrew was not embarrassed at all: "Haha, then I'll leave first. If you need anything, call me!" After saying that, the black Mercedes-Benz disappeared into the traffic.
Shi Zhong greeted Tong Jia and walked to the door of the hotel. Suddenly, there was a noisy sound from the hotel lobby, and it seemed to be mixed with national curses, uh, Chinese?
Shi Zhong walked in and was a little stunned when he saw the source of the sound. How could they come to Italy?
At this time, a big man shouted loudly: "Why? We have already booked the room, why should we transfer it to others? How do you run your hotel? It's still the International Hotel, bah!" As he said that, he vomited heavily.
There was a mouthful of phlegm on the floor, but it was obvious that no one in the hotel could understand this man's Mandarin, which had a slight Sichuan dialect.
This man was none other than Tuoba, who had a close relationship with Shi Zhong. He had a fierce look on his face and was holding a long sword in his hand. The simple scabbard was his heavy sword weighing one hundred and twenty-eight kilograms.
Next to him, stood three other old acquaintances of Shi Zhong, Yi Chen who looked indifferent, Yang Tian who was communicating with the hotel, and Renault who was slightly angry.
"Why did you transfer the room we reserved to others? Is this the reputation you call an international hotel?" Yang Tian asked the hotel manager in front of him. The manager also had an apologetic smile on his face and lowered his attitude: "I'm really sorry, like this,
Our hotel is willing to help you contact other hotels that are not lower than ours. How about it? It is true that something happened to our hotel temporarily. I hope you can understand!"
Yang Tian thought for a while and said: "It must be from around here!"
The hotel manager nodded quickly and was about to leave, but Shi Zhong said: "There is no need to find another hotel, just stay in my suite!" Shi Zhong's suite has four rooms, which is just right for them.
As a result, Shi Zhong gave up his room. As for himself, he made a phone call and asked Andrew to speak to the hotel manager in person, and gave Andrew's suite to Shi Zhong.
Speaking of which, this matter still depends on Andrew. The room Shi Zhong occupied was the suite that Yang Tian and the others had booked. However, Andrew was the boss behind the hotel, so he naturally took the initiative and arranged the suite for Shi Zhong.
On the elevator, Renault said with surprise on his face: "Brother Shi, why are you here?" Then he suddenly realized, "Are you also here to participate in the superpower competition?"
"What kind of competition for superpowers?" Shi Zhong asked in confusion.
"You don't know?" Renault was stunned. Just as he was about to speak, Yang Tian said, "I haven't even thanked Mr. Shi for his help just now!"
"Captain Yang is so polite. As descendants of China, we should help each other!" Shi Zhong said. Then, Shi Zhong greeted Yi Chen and Tuoba. Yi Chen just smiled and nodded, but Tuoba burst out with his loud voice.
, "Haha, I met an old friend in a foreign country. I think we can find a place to drink with him all night long!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to register as a member of Piaotian Literature to recommend this work. Your support
