Group headquarters building, office.
Si Mingyu stared at the Huangpu River outside the window in a daze again. Of course, he only looked like one, but in fact he was thinking about the group's affairs.
"If you're tired, just lie down for a while." Lin Shirui came over and pressed his shoulders.
"It's okay. Come here and let me see if you've gained weight in the past few days." Si Mingyu reached out and embraced her: "Not bad, you've gained weight in the right places."
"Just bully me." Lin Shirui was used to being bullied, so she just let him do what he wanted.
"How can you say I'm bullying? I'm just concerned about you. I'm afraid you'll get hungry and thin." Si Mingyu would never admit it.
"Sometimes I feel that this is pretty good, I don't have to think about anything." Lin Shirui kicked off her shoes and snuggled into Si Mingyu's arms.
"It's happier to live a simple life." You can only be happy if you don't know some things.
.
On the same day, four LNG ships left South Korea's Hyundai Mipo Dockyard.
Originally, Si Mingyu only needed two ships, but because the shipbuilding schedule at that time was not scheduled for two years later, he had no choice but to buy the contract for these four ships from a Japanese company at a price of 500 million yuan per ship. The original cost of these four ships was 5.6 billion Chinese yuan.
Yes, the Japanese company required that all four ships be purchased together, not sold individually.
A shipping company was quietly established in Hong Kong. In addition to the original four LNG ships, it also acquired two second-hand container ships.
The current route of this shipping company is as follows:
Two LNG ships would be fully loaded in Kangaroo Country, as previously agreed upon. Si Mingyu's purchase of the LNG ships was motivated by this deal. The other two would be fully loaded in the Fifty States Federation and then sail to Europe. Two container ships would be used to deliver products from trading and electronics companies to the small African nations.
The cost of purchasing the natural gas to fill the four ships would be paid for by a domestic company, which would also ensure a stable supply. Si Mingyu would then provide the company with an equivalent amount of oil produced from oil and gas fields in a small African country.
In return for this, the natural gas transported back by the Kangaroo Country's LNG ships must be given the lowest market price.
For Si Mingyu, it doesn’t matter how much profit the two ships transporting natural gas to the country make, as long as he can make a profit before the ships are scrapped. The biggest profit still comes from the two ships that go to Europe.
In just one month, the two ships brought him a net income of 200 million US dollars.
Yes, the profit is that high because there is almost no cost for him.
Did you spend money on natural gas?
No. The money was paid by a domestic company.
Didn't you give oil to this company?
Yes, but oil is produced from oil and gas fields.
Don't you buy oil from oil and gas fields for free?
Didn’t I ship the goods from China to offset the payment?
Don’t these products cost money?
hehe.
Of course, the goods cost money, but everyone knows the price of the items being used to cover the bills. Furthermore, these goods are very popular in the local area, so local officials don't feel they're being shortchanged.
It is no exaggeration to say that if this trend continues, Si Mingyu will be able to pay off all the money he owes to the bank by the end of the year just with the income from these two LNG ships.
Another good news is the commissioning of the electronics factory.
Since it was an acquisition and integration, the factory's production was not affected at all. Various small household appliances suitable for use in Russia were labeled with the trademark of Dongya Mingyu Electronics Company, and then loaded onto trains and transported all the way from the Manzhouli port.
With Wang Jianguo's experience in foreign trade, it was easy for him to complete the export procedures for energy-related products. After all, these products produced by the electronics factory were not worth mentioning in the overall trade.
I originally wanted to sell electronic components directly, but after some research, I found that even if the products were shipped to Russia, they wouldn't be able to assemble the finished products, so I gave up. Russia's light industry is really hard to describe.
Now that we have the product, the only thing left is sales.
Zhang Tianming had been trading with Russia in the north for over a decade, so naturally, he had stable channels, so there was no problem with that. Of course, the most important thing was that Dongya Mingyu Electronics' products were high-quality and affordable, which was their core competitiveness.
Compared to famous domestic brands, the difference between the two is just a brand. But for the residents of Damaojia, as long as the quality is good and the price is favorable, they don't mind using the same brand as their African brothers in the third world.
Even good wine needs a bush. The market in Mao couldn't be as casual as it was in Africa; advertising and promotion were essential. To this end, the media company sent a working group to Mao, whose primary responsibility was to communicate with Mao's television stations and social media platforms to promote their products.
The initial requirements were not high. As long as a certain market share in the Far East was occupied, it would be fine. After all, the production capacity of the company's own electronics factory was limited, and this was not the main business.
Many people don't understand why Si Mingyu would bother to acquire an electronics factory and produce it himself. After all, the market in Russia is not like the exclusive market in several small African countries. Once there is a problem in market planning or product production, the money may be lost.
Even if they really wanted to expand into new markets, wouldn't it be better to still have the Li family do the OEM? If business was good, they would place additional orders; if business was bad, they would simply stop production and cut their losses.
Wouldn't this be much less risky?
Because Si Mingyu is pursuing social benefits by doing this.
Relying on the company's secret support and the care of his family elders, he has reached the pinnacle of his life. Now it is not an exaggeration to call him a "super rich" because he is really too rich.
When the amount of money reaches a certain level, it is just a number. If you ask him to donate, he will definitely not do so. It is better not to mention the inside story.
However, he believes that investing in labor-intensive businesses to solve some employment problems is a good option. His electronics factory strictly adheres to labor regulations, paying employees what they deserve and providing them with the necessary benefits. He does not exploit his employees for the purpose of making money, as this is not his goal.
This is also the reason why he agreed without hesitation when Fu Wanyun proposed to acquire several companies to form a production system. Now the five factories under the electronics company have more than 30,000 employees, and the treatment of these people is the best in the local industry.
The same goes for the agricultural company. Si Mingyu does not expect to make money from it, but instead works hard to build his own agricultural product brand.
In this way, the image of a young, wealthy, and socially responsible entrepreneur was established, and of course, he was also portrayed as a vindictive person.
This is the identity he needs.
