Chapter 181

It’s always ugly to be so noisy at a banquet. Kong Jinan wanted to appease his companions and lighten the atmosphere, but when he raised his head, he met Lin Wei’s eyes.

He was delighted for a moment, and then saw Lin Wei smiling at the people around him and saying, "Excuse me."

Upon seeing this, Kong Jinan wanted to go up to him, but found that Lin Wei went in another direction, and finally stopped in front of a British woman. Completely ignoring him.

The smile on Kong Jinan's face immediately froze.

"Regrets in life are normal." Suddenly a voice appeared behind them.

Several people turned around and found Su Tianrui standing behind them, looking at them with a playful expression.

Su Tianrui continued: "When you are content, you will be happy, and you will be rich. You said it so beautifully at the beginning, why do you show such an ugly look now that you have lost money?"

The faces of the three people were very ugly.

Su Tianrui smiled sarcastically: "You are indeed not qualified to do business with Lin Wei."

Now thinking about the faces of these people at that time, they said in a high-sounding way, "You can be content with what you have, but you have no ability to make money with Miss Lin." , with such a complacent look, it’s really ridiculous.

Ajie said that people only reveal their true selves under extreme circumstances. It doesn't matter how beautiful they are or how open-minded they are. It all depends on how they behave and choose when facing important moments in life.

"No, Mr. Su, we were also deceived. It was all a misunderstanding. It was Fu Sheng..."

"Whoever deceived you, go to him. Don't bother others here. If Fu Sheng owes you money, go to Fu Sheng." Sheng Yao, what's the point of looking for someone else? Do you still expect Lin Wei to stand up for you? What good things are you thinking about? "

After stabbing someone with a knife, do you still want the victim to seek justice from the murderer?

I want to eat shit.

The three of them looked at Su Tianrui with some embarrassment. The incident of breaking the contract was still fresh in their minds. The so-called chess piece was just one step away, and they missed out on wealth just because of a wrong choice.

They used to be in the department store business, but now it's getting harder and harder to do the department store business, the competition is fierce and it's very energy-consuming, so they sold off their assets. The more than 200 million yuan was all their belongings. They wanted to invest in a good project and enjoy it. The treatment of making money while lying down.

At that time, there were many companies competing for them. After all, everyone was short of money at that time, but several of them had little investment experience, and they were hesitant to deal with industries they did not understand.

Later, they were introduced to Lin Wei by a friend. The future promised by Lin Wei was very tempting. She said that Causeway Bay would become a hotter area than Central in the future, with high-end office buildings, five-star hotels, and luxurious villas. They only made high-quality products. Earning money from businessmen and wealthy people was said to be so arrogant that it felt like a dream.

As a result, Fu Sheng found them again later and said that everything Lin Wei had now was because of her partners. She gained weight while others lost weight. Otherwise, how could she have achieved her current achievements? The more beautiful Lin Wei described it, the more false it was, like a mirage, all in vain.

At that time, they broke into a cold sweat and felt that everything Lin Wei said at that time was like a lie.

But they forgot at the time that people like Su Tianrui were Lin Wei's earliest partners, second-generation idiots, and now they have become the relationship that everyone respects, Mr. Su, who has tried his best to establish relationships.

Originally they also had this opportunity.

Now the fruity brandy is only spicy in the mouth.

Who would have thought that the original mirage would now come true, and that "down-to-earth" Fusheng used their money to survive the crisis.

Fusheng blocked their way with the company system and contracts. Even if they went to court, the best result would be no result in two or three years. Even if they thought of the best and got their money back in the end, they It is also full of resentment. The more than 200 million has long been not as valuable as it was before, which is equivalent to them lending money to Fu Sheng for free.

Looking now, the future that Lin Wei once described is likely to be true. If so, they may have missed more than just an opportunity to double their assets.

"Lin... your career is becoming more and more successful. It's unimaginable. I still remember the scene when I met you on the ferry. It feels like yesterday." Ye Jing'en wanted to come to Lin Wei several times today, but found that there was always someone beside her. .

Today's charity dinner was hosted by Ye Jing'en. Lin Wei was invited to attend and sponsored the drinks and venue for the banquet.

Earlier, Lin Wei's Hezi Foundation was handed over to Ye Jing'en. The relationship between the two has become closer and closer in the past two years. Ye Jing'en will come to Lin Wei when she has no money. From the initial embarrassment, to It's her current habit that Lin Wei won't refuse anything she wants.

Lin Wei smiled and said: "You have changed a lot, and your career has improved so much."

Ye Jing'en is now a "popular person" next to the Hong Kong Governor.

No one expected that the British woman who was hated by the government and police department would become the right-hand man of the Hong Kong Governor.

This is a direction that Lin Wei did not expect. The Hong Kong Governor promoted Ye Jing'en in an unusual way and agreed to her proposal of a 9-year compulsory education system.

Many reform policies will be discussed with her.

But if you think about it for a moment, you can understand the reason, because no one knows everything about Hong Kong City better than Ye Jingen.

All we can see is the area in front of us. How miserable are the poor? What specific problems will they encounter? What needs to change most right now? You don't know.

But Ye Jing'en is different. She knows the living conditions of all the people at the bottom of Hong Kong City.

Before the Hong Kong Governor wants to make changes, he must understand the situation and find the person who knows best. At the same time, Ye Jingen, who has been dealing with the government, also knows what corruption problems there are in the system.

Just now, with the help of Ye Jing'en, the traffic police chief Ge Zhipo was wanted. Yes, he was wanted because this guy fled back to the UK.

The person in charge of the traffic police was investigated and punished. This is like a sign that things are going to change in Hong Kong.

But it's very annoying that this person always escapes at every turn.

Lin Wei listened to her talk about the whole process and hissed: "There is something wrong with your system. If you doubt it, he will quibble. After a few rounds of fighting in the early stage, he did not arrest anyone. Then when the evidence is conclusive, he will naturally stop hearing the news." He's not stupid, he must have run away."

Ye Jing'en nodded, "Song said the same, so they gave us a lot of suggestions."

"Song Ye?" Lin Wei was stunned.

"Yes, he really made a lot of useful suggestions, and said that an independent anti-corruption organization should be established separate from other government agencies."

Lin Wei looked at her blankly: "...the Independent Commission Against Corruption?"

"Yes, he told you about it, right? This is really a great idea. The Hong Kong Governor also agrees with it and plans to let him build this organization. This is an exceptional promotion. He Landi is a very good porter. Governor, he can listen to good opinions. An outstanding talent like Song Ye is the best person to recommend to him."

Lin Wei looked at her for a while, speechless. She was a little confused while drinking the wine in her glass. .

"Lin, what's wrong?"

Lin Wei calmed down and looked at Ye Jing'en, then at the empty cup in her hand, and then said, "I have something to ask you for help. I don't know if it's inconvenient for you."

"What's the matter? Everything is convenient for you. "

...

Different from Chinese tradition, boats are feminine in Western dictionaries. When a new boat is launched, a highly respected woman is usually invited to preside over the launching ceremony.

Ye Jingen is a very good choice.

For more than a year, thousands of shipwrights and technical engineers, including students from the Polytechnic University with Xinbai scholarships, and even teachers, participated in the construction of the ship.

Whether it was for suggestions or technical support, Lin Wei bought a special section and wrote a thank you to thank these people for their help and prepared to publish it in the newspaper.

On the day the new ship was launched, many media reporters were present.

A 7,600-ton bulk carrier can only be regarded as a medium-sized cargo ship, but the ship in front of you has an outstanding appearance. The blue hull has a very novel and unique shape.

This was designed by Lin Wei. The hull is a ship type that has been optimized through later simulation tests. The lines are very smooth and the surface roughness of the hull is very low. You can feel the extraordinary texture at a glance.

Reporters kept pressing the shutter, trying to find the best angle.

Zeng Zhifeng looked at the beautiful and majestic ship in front of him, and he was mostly surprised. Not to mention that the ship was more practical. People who rent a ship can recognize it at a glance. Apart from the tonnage, it is also the appearance. As long as it can be launched smoothly, he believes that this ship must be very good. Liked by tenants.

The $800,000 was well spent.

Usually the cheapest new ship of this tonnage is more than 1 million US dollars, and some old ships can be sold for 700,000 US dollars.

Most of the shipowners in Xiangjiang buy used ships. If they are lucky, they will encounter a large number of used ships for sale at a low price. He bought 10 used ships for only US$1 million earlier, which was a big bargain. In the end, he made people jealous, and they said that he was a rag picker, specializing in second-hand goods, and all his hands were old boats.

What businessman doesn't want to lose face? Being laughed at like this makes him so angry that he can't even eat.

It used to be a problem of funds, but now that the company has gone public and has money, it is natural to buy a few new ships to test the waters. Originally, I wanted to go to Japan to see it, but Lin Wei was incited by a fever that day.

Now it seems that this transaction is not a loss.

The dock has now been filled with water, and the water tightness test has been completed.

"Mr. Zeng, let's get on the boat." Lin Wei invited.

Lin Wei, Ye Jing'en, Zeng Zhifeng, and the friends they invited, a group of more than 20 people, walked onto the boat under the eyes of everyone.

Accompanied by the sun and sea breeze, standing on the boarding ladder, Lin Wei glanced at the harbor in the distance, and then subconsciously looked at the people on the shore. In the dark crowd, there was no familiar figure to her.

She was thinking, what would it be like if Fang Mobai were here right now?

A person who makes a lot of noise like that will definitely run around excitedly when he sees the boat he built.

She seemed to see that silly figure appearing everywhere here, on the deck, in the cabin, or standing on the shore cheering for her?

She thought many times, how great it would be if...if he could come with her at that time.

This is something that makes people feel sad just thinking about it.

Hurry up, can time go faster? She really misses them.

Everyone clinked champagne glasses in celebration.

"Ms. Lin is very successful in everything she does. I have to admire this."

"Excellent people are like this. They are always good at whatever they do."

"Yes, shipbuilding is no better than other things. Isn't Miss Lin the reincarnation of a god? "

Haha, it sounds like it's true. It's something that only a genius can do. I can't help but envy you."

These people became more and more exaggerated. Lin Wei could only interrupt: "I really do. "

I can't afford it. It's all the result of everyone's hard work. The best I can do is to form a bureau and get everyone together. Whether it succeeds or not depends on fate. We have just started and there is still a long way to go." It is complete, has sufficient funds, and with experts like Takahashi, it is just assembly. It is something that an ordinary small shipyard in Japan can do, and the difficulty is not as high as imagined.

The real test comes later.

How to make profits and overcome some technical difficulties will be the focus in the future.

If a shipyard wants to go forward in the long run, it must engage in independent research and development, just like the automobile and mobile phone companies of later generations. Parts can be bought and assembled, but only with its own patent can the profit margin be large.

It’s not that she didn’t build a boat in her previous life, it’s that she wasn’t competitive.

That failure was so tragic. She often thought, if she had had more funds at that time, if the steps had not been so big and the steps had been taken slowly, would it have been less of a failure?

Reviews are based on hindsight, and any reason can be thrown into it. It is difficult to say which is the real main reason.

Lin Wei was extra cautious this time and tried to be safe.

Ye Jingen began to preside over the launching ceremony, and everyone stopped to watch the ceremony.

At this time, someone suddenly ran up behind Lin Wei and started whispering to her.

Snap -

suddenly there was a sound of the bottle breaking.

The boatman who delivered the message was startled and turned pale.

"Don't be afraid." Lin Wei comforted him.

It was Ye Jingen who was doing the bottle-breaking ceremony, which was the process of the water launching ceremony.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were now on Ye Jingen, Lin Wei asked with a solemn expression: "You said someone touched the cable device?"

"Yes, we found it during our investigation. Do you want to go..."

Lin Wei breathed lightly She took a breath and calmed down before she suppressed her panic and said, "It's useless if I go, let Takahashi and Ayin handle it, and ask them how long it will take."

After the crew left, she came to Ye Jingen's house Next to him, he discussed with Ye Jingen and asked her to add a step to the launching ceremony.

Ye Jingen was a little surprised.

Zeng Zhifeng hurriedly came over and asked nervously: "What's wrong?"

Lin Wei turned around and said with a smile: "It's nothing, Ms. Ye's speech was just put here with me."

Zeng Zhifeng breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's okay. . "

He finally bought a new boat and invited many friends over. If something goes wrong, people will definitely say that he bought cheap goods to show off, which is really not worth the loss.

Lin Wei came over with a wine glass and said: "If Mr. Zeng wants to buy a boat in the future, it would be better to take out a loan. The pressure will be much less."

When it comes to this topic, Zeng Zhifeng has something to say: "Of course a loan is good, but it also requires Look at the interest rate. At least 8 or 9 points of interest is not worthwhile no matter how you think about it. "

He was talking about HSBC. There are not many banks that understand shipping, and generally they don't offer this business. The loans are usually from HSBC, and the procedures are strange. It's a lot, and the interest is not generally high.

Lin Wei was able to get such a low interest rate in the first place because of Yuan Guodong's introduction and HSBC's intention to make good friends with her for the first business deal. But later on, she completely sided with Hang Seng, so she would no longer be able to receive this treatment.

But when she pledged her Hang Seng shares, she didn’t know what HSBC’s attitude would be.

Although the stock price is rising, Hang Seng is also rising, and she is not too anxious.

In fact, we can maximize profits by directly selling Hang Seng at a high level next year, but then the nature will change. Selling is a sign of lack of shareholder confidence, and there is no telling what reaction it will cause.

"Hang Seng now also has related loan business. Mr. Zeng can learn about it if you have time."

This is a new business of Hang Seng. In addition to real estate and retail, it has also opened up a new shipping business to provide loan support to ship owners.

The suggestion was made by Lin Weida. Although the purpose was to facilitate her selling ships, it was also for Hang Seng to expand its business and seize HSBC's market share.

As for the subsequent oil crisis, let alone Lin Wei, even without Lin Wei, the bank would not be greatly affected. On the contrary, HSBC at that time was the beneficiary of the stock market crash and the oil crisis.

When Zeng Zhifeng heard what Lin Wei said, he immediately guessed that it was Lin Wei's handiwork: "Ms. Lin has really taken care of the up and down chain. What else is there to say after that? Isn't it better to just sit down and count the money?"

Although where to buy a boat? Either way is fine, but if you buy a boat from Lin Wei, Hengfeng will definitely have more support and a more favorable policy.

Having the support of a bank is something I really envy.

Thinking about Yuan Guodong again, Eric Tsang sighed.

This is called money begetting money. Rich people will become richer and richer. I don’t know the role of connections. I don’t know what they have done. How can the bank help people so heartily?

Lin Wei also wanted to sigh.

Every now and then his eyes would glance towards the hatch.

If you mess up today, it will not only be embarrassing.

At this time, everyone in the cabin was sweating profusely. Everyone had a notebook in their hands and was busy performing their duties, checking and recording.

Takahashi would look at his watch after a while,

"Okay, hurry up and inform Mr. Lin," Sun Muyin's voice came from the intercom, "Only the cables in the central control room have been tampered with, no need to look at the others."

Takahashi was stunned and picked up the intercom system: "Are you sure?"

Sun Muyin glanced at the person sitting on the ground. It was a little girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. She shrank and was wearing thin clothes. Under her jeans, Her legs were slender and thin, and her eyes were slightly averted, not looking at Sun Muyin.

She took a deep breath and said, "I'm sure, I'll explain it to you later and let people go quickly."

After turning off the intercom, Sun Muyin looked at the little girl again.

"Didn't I say? You can't come to the cabin."

The little girl hugged her shoulders, flinched and looked to the side: "No...no, it's different..." The girl's speech was very slow, and her eyes were a little dull, like It seems that his brain is not very bright.

Sun Muyin sighed: "No, that's what we drew ourselves. It's just an idea. It hasn't been verified yet. You can't change it at will. Maybe something will happen."
