A fixed model of finished oil tanker will definitely not be so expensive. Customized ship types + military-grade quality are different. It is normal to increase the price several times. After all, it cannot be mass-produced.
"Okay then. You can arrange for someone to come over immediately. I'll make the advance payment once the contract is signed."
Xia Yu confirmed the order over the phone, but he had just returned this time and would not make another trip to Europe.
With such a large order, Le Shun naturally wouldn't mind sending employees on a business trip, especially a team Xia Yu was familiar with. They sorted out the information and took a flight to China that evening.
China does not offer visa-free entry to other countries, but you can enter through transit visa-free procedures, as long as you do not leave the Magic City.
On June 18, Qi Peilin picked up Le Shun's three-person team at Fudong Airport, and then went straight to Xia Investment. Xia Yu was inspecting the work at the time and received them.
The contract was signed in Gu Jia's office, and Xia Yu paid a down payment of 20 million euros on the spot. The project was expected to be completed at the same time as the Polaris, and he could choose to deliver it at the same time.
This is a good thing. The two ships came back together, saving him from receiving two "express deliveries".
Xia Yu asked Lao Xu to take them to the hotel to rest, and handed the contract in his hand to Feng Manxue for safekeeping. Gu Jia, who was present throughout the whole process, was a little dazed.
It seems her boss is buying a ship, or a tanker?
It's an oil tanker, not a cruise ship. But why buy such a ship? Wouldn't it be nice to invest 55 million euros?
After the details were confirmed, the order value increased to 55 million, because Xia Yu requested that the ship be equipped with the same level of auxiliary driving equipment as the Polestar, such as cameras and sensors at the bow, stern and both sides. Without these, installing the automatic driving program would be useless.
"Sister Gu, where were we just now?"
Xia Yu looked at Gu Jia and asked, and she came back to her senses at this time.
"I think I've finished. This is basically what Xia's investment did in the first and second quarters. I was a little distracted just now. Sorry, boss."
"Don't apologize. I disrupted your train of thought. But there's something else you need to focus on."
When Gu Jia heard what Xia Yu said, her expression suddenly became serious.
"Here's the thing: I've made a breakthrough in my overseas lab and developed a 2.0 battery cell. Its performance far surpasses similar products on the market. This will revolutionize the entire power battery industry, so I want to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune in the capital market."
With the breakthrough in technology, the stock market will definitely fluctuate. It would be a shame not to seize such a good opportunity.
"The company doesn't have much funds to draw on right now. What you mean is..."
Gu Jia subconsciously moved closer, and her voice became much lower, which was enough to reflect her inner shock.
It hasn't been long since then, and there has been another breakthrough in technology. Last time, Xia Capital seized the opportunity and made a small profit, but a lot of money was also lost, and it is still being recovered.
"I will temporarily give you a sum of money to operate. During this business trip, I met Musk and reached a preliminary cooperation intention. He will come to China in a few days. If all goes well, we will announce the cooperation relationship together. That is the opportunity."
Xia Yu said calmly that when your status is improved, people who seemed unattainable in the past will become approachable, but Gu Jia did not have this calm attitude.
"Then, then the scale of this fund..."
She couldn't hide the horror in her heart, and her voice sounded trembling.
"For now, there are only $600 million."
This is all the money in Xia Yu's foreign currency account. The down payments for buying the car and the boat were all paid with credit cards. He plans to use up an acceleration card after upgrading to Lv18.
Gu Jia took on the task, and at the same time she had a new understanding of Xia Yu's net worth. A person worth more than 20 billion yuan cannot just take out 600 million US dollars in cash casually.
The total value of this money plus previously invested financial assets is over 7 billion RMB.
Gu Jia didn't know that this was not all. Xia Yu still had a cash flow of 2 billion RMB. If he was willing to spend two acceleration cards, it would not be a problem for him to mobilize more than 10 billion yuan in funds.
Even if he is worth hundreds of billions, he may not have such abundant cash flow. His actions make people feel that he is even more unfathomable.
In the next few days, Xia Yu inspected Jierui Power. The 1.2 battery cells were in mass production. The factory laboratory completed the equipment upgrade during his absence, and basically met the conditions for replicating and developing the 2.0 battery cells.
The original assembly line is definitely not suitable for producing 2.0 battery cells. The production of new battery cells will be placed in the new Phase II factory building. He will also arrange for the factory director to contact the new suppliers of raw materials. In short, everything is going according to plan.
Time flew by and it was June 21st. After so much hard work, Xia Yu finally found time to go home.
"Mom, you have to come to school with Dad on the 23rd, don't forget!"
Xia Yu and Lin Shuqin reminded that the graduation ceremony of Shanghai Electric Power University is on the 23rd. As the highlight of the four years of college, how can parents be absent? They must all come.
"We will definitely go, but don't let me give speeches or anything like that. I can't say that."
Lin Shuqin is good at playing the piano, but she is a bit timid when giving speeches, after all, she is not well educated.
Old Xia didn't care, but the school arranged for Xia Yu to give a speech this time, while the parents of outstanding graduates would give speeches elsewhere.
"Don't worry, we can't monopolize the speech alone. Just sit back and relax."
Xia Yu comforted the two of them.
"That's good. It will be up to you then."
It is a great honor for parents to have an outstanding son.
After staying at home for one night, Xia Yu slipped back to Huaxia on the morning of the 22nd because his senior schoolmate had rushed back from Hengdian.
