While Gu Ziming was visiting this jewelry exhibition hall, the conference room seemed to explode, and everyone was so noisy that their faces turned red.
"No, the cost of this cruise ship is worth US$3 billion.
If we sell it to the Chinese for 2 billion, plus the 500 million for debt impairment, our company will lose at least 1.5 billion US dollars! "
"But now except for that fool Gu Ziming who is willing to buy it, we can't find anyone else at all.
This cruise ship has been out for a year, and we are paying for the maintenance costs for this year. "
"Yeah, if we take this to the bank for mortgage, those damn people are only willing to pay US$1.3 billion. This price reduction is too harsh."
"Okay, let's vote by a show of hands!
Raise your hands to agree to sell the Imperial Palace on the Sea to Gu Ziming for US$2 billion! "
After speaking, Matsubara Inoue was the first to raise his right hand.
Brush brush brush——
Then four or five people raised their right hands.
There were one or two others who slowly raised their hands when they saw everyone raising their hands.
"Okay, unanimous vote."
Matsubara Inoue stood up, put his hands on the table, leaned forward slightly, and whispered:
"Everyone, now we, Sanjin, have been expanding too quickly.
Now that the jewelry industry is entering a cold winter period, and the price of gold has begun to fall from its peak, it is time for us to prepare for strategic contraction!
If we get this two billion US dollars in cash, we will not be afraid of any challenge! "
"Yes, the president is wise!" +7
…
Gu Ziming looked at the various jewelry on the counter, but his thoughts drifted to other places.
After the deal was completed, it only cost US$2 billion.
Including storing supplies and renovating shelters, the total cost is only over 2 billion at most.
How to spend the remaining $6 billion?
Gu Ziming's first thought was to exchange for gold.
If the value of food or daily necessities will soar in the end of the world, there is another thing, gold will also.
In the middle and late stages of the original plot, the world has adapted to the high-temperature apocalyptic environment.
The remaining human beings completely changed their biological habits and began to live day and night.
The civilization process has also begun to move towards cyberpunk industrialization.
Gold is the key metal raw material throughout the entire cyberpunk industrialization.
At that time, gold coins became the world's universal currency again!
But Gu Ziming thought that in just 20 days,
Converting a total of 6 billion US dollars into gold is as difficult as the sky for ordinary people!
Usually the entry and exit of gold jewelry is fine.
But as long as the entire large-scale gold entry and exit is completed, it will definitely be paid attention to by state agencies.
You know, 6 billion US dollars can be exchanged for about 110 tons of gold.
Of course, if you have a villain space, you only need to buy it and store it in the space so that no one can discover it.
"Gu Sang, did you enjoy your visit?"
A shout interrupted Gu Ziming's thinking. The person coming was none other than Matsubara Inoue, who had already been discussed.
"President Matsubara, I see the strength of your company."
Gu Ziming replied lightly, and then asked:
"Have the results been discussed? I hope I won't leave empty-handed."
"Okay, it's okay, we agree to sell our sea palace for twenty dollars."
Matsubara Inoue's pockmarked face was about to burst from laughter, and he seemed very satisfied with the transaction.
"Okay, no problem, after the contract is signed here, I will ask someone to drive it away.
After leaving the territorial waters of the island country, I will pay you the money in one lump sum. Do you think this delivery method is okay? "
"Of course, you can. Gu Sang's financial resources are really strong. Even our three golds can't come up with so much cash at once!"
After saying that, Matsubara Inoue bowed again to express his admiration for Gu Ziming.
"President Songyuan, you're welcome. Does your company have any channels to purchase gold?
I want to buy a batch of gold and build two golden lions to put on my cruise ship? "
Gu Ziming directly decided to purchase gold from the local jeweler in front of him.
"Oh, Gu Sang, you've asked the right person about this. We, Sanjin, are among the top three jewelers in the island country."
When Matsubara Inoue heard that Gu Ziming wanted to buy gold, he immediately got serious about doing business.
"How much gold does Gu Sang need?"
"President Songyuan, I want as much gold as you can provide!" Gu Ziming replied directly.
Matsubara Inoue instinctively didn't believe Gu Ziming's reason for using gold to build a golden lion.
But he suddenly thought that Gu Ziming had spent two billion to buy a cruise ship.
It doesn't look like he wants to open a travel company, he just wants to enjoy it.
It wouldn't be weird to buy some gold and make it into a toy and then put it on top of the toy.
We are not afraid of the rich second generation losing their fortune, but they are afraid of the rich second generation starting their own business.
When Gu Ziming got tired of playing and sold the cruise ship and the golden lion, wouldn't the money come back?
Maybe you will lose less than investing in a travel company yourself.
"I can provide 500 million US dollars in gold. Can Gu Sang buy it?"
Matsubara Inoue originally wanted to say 100 million, but seeing how wealthy Gu Ziming looked, he changed his mind to 500 million to try out.
"Five hundred million, do you look down on me? What I want to build is the kind of stone lion that our Xia Kingdom guards. Do you know that kind of lion?"
Gu Ziming said pretending to be unhappy.
"I'm sorry, Gu Sang, I didn't mean to look down on you,"
Matsuhara Inoue bowed again, and then said with a look of reverence:
"I have been to Jiangnan Province in your country before, and the scenery there is as beautiful as a painting.
The people there live in a large courtyard, and there are two lions carved out of stone in front of the courtyard gate, which looks very solemn!"
"Yes, I want to use gold to make the appearance of that stone lion.
How much can you prepare? We will settle it according to today's gold price." Gu Ziming asked directly.
"We can exchange about 3 billion US dollars of gold for Gu Sang.
These are all taken out of our company's floating reserves. Any more will affect the operation of the company."
"Okay, do you think this gold can be moved to the cruise ship for me?
I will settle the fee for you once the gold is on board."
Hearing that part of the reserve can be exchanged for US dollars so quickly, Matsubara Inoue, who was just worried about the decline in gold prices, smiled more and more, and hurriedly replied:
"Yes, of course."
If he signed a contract and paid a deposit like the protagonist, Matsubara Inoue would never deliver the cruise ship and gold to Gu Ziming first.
Not to mention that if the cash was not settled in one lump sum, most of the negotiation resistance would be eliminated.
For a transaction of this scale, generally speaking, the wrangling would directly extend the negotiation time indefinitely.
For the remaining more than 3 billion US dollars, Gu Ziming decided to go to the United States to exchange gold and buy a batch of weapons by the way.
The control of hot weapons in Asia is too strict. If you want to see gunfights every day, you have to go to Free America.
After the negotiation, Gu Ziming declined the invitation of Songyuan Inoue to the banquet and went directly back to the booked hotel.
As soon as he entered the hotel lobby, he saw an angry girl walking straight towards him.
"Mr. Gu, where is the hotel meeting as agreed?"
Zhao Xiaoyu took off her stewardess uniform at this time and put on her own cartoon T-shirt.
The whole person looked less tempting and more youthful and energetic.
Gu Ziming spread his hands and smiled at Zhao Xiaoyu:
"Sorry, Ms. Zhao Xiaoyu, I just went to discuss some business."
"To express my apology, from now on you will be my translator and tour guide.
I will leave the rest of the time to you to arrange, and I will pay for all the expenses during this period.
Do you accept my apology?"
"Mr. Gu, you are too kind, I shouldn't be angry with you."
Zhao Xiaoyu was not really angry.
It's just that she was temporarily confused by Gu Ziming's young and handsome appearance, plus his deliberately gentle and friendly temperament.
This made her subconsciously ignore Gu Ziming's boss identity and just treat him as a friend.
"Haha, relax, you can treat me as a friend."
Gu Ziming chuckled, and then said: "I don't want the atmosphere to be so serious along the way.
"Okay, then I will treat you as a friend."
Zhao Xiaoyu also laughed softly, and then stuck out her tongue, and said to Gu Ziming:
"Even if we are friends, we have to pay wages! "
As expected, she is the happy second female lead in the original novel. Her playful appearance almost fascinated Gu Ziming.
Gu Ziming thought to himself:
Lin Fan, you can't control Zhao Xiaoyu, so let me solve it for you!
