Build warships!
Although the person who spoke didn't speak loudly, these three words were like thunder, suddenly exploding in Wang Pengju's ears.
What did he say?
At least for a moment, Wang Pengju didn't react.
He looked at the young man in front of him in surprise and said.
"What?"
Boy, what is he talking about?
Building warships, how could the military’s business be so simple?
This guy, could it be that he found out about the business that he had always wanted to do and came here just to have fun?
Although he thought so in his heart, he still said it.
"Isn't this business going to be easy?"
"Uncle Wang, this is what I have been doing in recent years with foreigners, including foreign governments and the military."
Feeling that the other party didn't seem to believe it, Liang Dong explained deliberately.
"They also need to buy warships now."
"Foreign military..."
Wang Pengju's heart warmed up. He thought of the globe that he had turned with his fingers before. Building warships and selling them to foreigners... This would work too!
The most important thing is that this will give the shipyard experience in building warships, and with experience it can participate in military bids.
But...is it that simple?
The heart that had just warmed up suddenly cooled down again. Wang Pengju shook his head and said:
"Haha, Liang Dong, you and Jing Chu are classmates, so you should also know how Taichang Shipyard has developed step by step to where it is today. Although they have built ships for so many years, they have always been civilian ships, and they have never built warships! How should I put it? Although... building warships has higher profits, it is still unclear whether Taichang can actually build warships. To be honest, uncle really doesn't dare to think about it."
After that, he laughed dryly a few times in a mocking manner:
"Hehe, besides, your uncle Wang's abilities are limited, and I can't afford to join the navy! After all, their threshold is very high!"
Old fox!
Liang Dong secretly defined Wang Pengju in his heart. If someone else said this, Liang Dong would probably believe it, but who is this person in front of him?
He was able to donate 200,000 yuan to the Navy Survivors' Fund. Why did he donate the money? Wasn't it just to knock on the Navy's door?
But what?
The navy’s door is not easy to knock on!
It's not something that can be opened by donating a few hundred thousand. Just like he said, the threshold is very high!
However, it was precisely because of this that Liang Dong saw the opportunity. He believed that this opportunity was not only his, but also the old fox's.
Now this old fox says he is not interested, is this a joke?
Apart from anything else, if he wasn't interested in the navy's business, this stingy boss Wang would never donate so much money at once. But Wang Pengju's words were watertight, so Liang Dong had to get straight to the point and directly state the purpose of his visit:
"Uncle Wang, to be honest, I have a way to get an order for two 7,000-ton cruisers..."
7,000 tons!
cruiser!
Wang Pengju's heart suddenly felt warm.
"What if Uncle Wang is interested? Then let's continue the conversation. If Uncle Wang is not interested, then I will turn around and talk to someone else..."
"Interested! Yes, yes..."
Wang Pengju said anxiously.
"How could I be interested? Not only am I interested, but I am very interested. My dear nephew, please don't be surprised..."
After that, he leaned forward.
"Well, my dear nephew, please tell your uncle about this in detail."
"Actually, this is a simple matter, uncle. Nowadays, countries all over the world are updating their warships, so many shipyards have orders scheduled for who knows when. However, there are also some countries whose shipbuilding industries are not well developed, so they need to order warships from foreign countries, but many shipyards simply don't have the spare capacity to produce external orders."
Liang Dong's answer made Wang Pengju nod in agreement.
"Indeed, indeed, I really don't have the energy to take any orders..."
As he nodded in agreement, he looked at the young man in front of him and tested him.
"So you found a way to take this order."
"There is indeed such a way, but..."
Liang Dong looked at Wang Pengju and said.
"If you want to do this business, you have to invest some money."
"Invest money?"
"Yes, it is the tradition of all countries to purchase weapons from abroad. If Uncle Wang wants to do this business, he has to give a 30% kickback to the purchaser."
"That's no problem, it's just a kickback! They have this rule, we just follow it."
Although he had never done the warship export business, Wang Pengju had heard of this kind of thing, kickbacks! This kind of thing is simply normal.
Staring at Wang Pengju, Liang Dong said directly.
"I will also ask for a 10% commission. I will pay half first. Whether it succeeds or not, it has nothing to do with me. If it succeeds, I will pay the other half."
As soon as Liang Dong said this, Wang Pengju secretly took a deep breath. If the introduction fee of two 7,000-ton cruisers is calculated at half of the cost, it would be tens of thousands! If the deal is not concluded, then these tens of thousands of dollars will be wasted. It is even possible that this guy will introduce more than one shipyard, and eat three meals with one duck... This is not impossible.
But what if you miss this opportunity?
It goes without saying that the lack of experience in building warships would have a profound impact on Wang Pengju's development plans.
Even if there is a loss, it is only tens of thousands of dollars!
Many times, when faced with a choice, people only have one or two seconds to make a decision. After making the decision, Wang Pengju reached out his hand to Liang Dong:
"Then we have a happy cooperation!"
Liang Dong shook the hand that the middle-aged man extended to him. Unlike his father's calloused hands, Uncle Wang's hands were full of flesh and felt soft when held.
“It’s been a pleasure working with you.”
"It's getting late now, how about we have a quick lunch here?"
Wang Pengju said politely.
"No, I have other things to do right now. Don't worry, Uncle Wang. I don't have the habit of eating three kinds of food from one duck. Wait for my call. I will introduce them to you. Whether it will be successful or not depends on you, Uncle Wang."
Watching Liang Dong disappear around the corner, Wang Pengju walked back to the office and breathed a sigh of relief.
But...can this deal be done?
While thinking this in his mind, Wang Pengju suddenly smiled again and said.
"What success or failure? If it really doesn't work, then money will pave the way. Everyone loves white silver. Since they dare to take 30% of the kickback, then I will give... 40%! I don't believe that they can't say anything good when talking about silver!"
Moreover, it seems that Liang Dong also has some connections. It seems that we should do more for him and give him a little more commission so that he can contribute more.
Wang Pengju, who was originally distressed because he could not do business with the military, immediately smiled.
"This is really a silver lining. Now, once this deal is concluded, we can do business with the military..."
Everyone has their own dream. For Wang Pengju, his current dream is to do business with the military and become a supplier to the military.
In the past, his shipyard could not participate in the navy’s bidding because it had no experience. But as long as it built warships for foreign countries, wouldn’t that mean it had experience in building warships?
In the future... thinking about the large number of orders that will fall into his hands in the future, Wang Pengju couldn't help but feel a little excited...
