"What do you need me to do?" Boss Jia asked straightforwardly.
"Actually, I just want to borrow some money from you!" Leng Feng smiled bitterly. "We've prepared everything else. The only problem is money … There's still a lot of debate about big ships in the country. We plan to act first and report later. So, we have to prepare the money ourselves."
"So, you thought of me and want to get some money from me, right?" Boss Jia looked at Leng Feng with a smile. Leng Feng felt ashamed, but he still nodded.
"Don't worry. We'll borrow the money. We'll find a way to pay you back!" Leng Feng said.
"Get out of here. If I take money from you, I'm worse than a dog. I'll pay for it!" Boss Jia agreed. Leng Feng's face was full of smiles.
"Thank you so much. As long as we have the money, we'll be able to own the first big ship since the beginning of time. I'll be able to die in peace!" Leng Feng said excitedly.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple!" Boss Jia shook his head. "As far as I know, we've bought three big ships before. However, we signed a very strict agreement. After we bought them, we could only modify them into things like amusement parks. We can't use them for any non-commercial purposes!"
"It should be the same this time. If we want to buy them, we'll have to sign the same agreement!" Boss Jia said.
In history, Huaxia had actually bought four large ships, but three of them had either been converted into parks or dismantled as garbage because of the restrictions of the purchase agreement.
"That's the key. This time, in order to sell the big ships at a high price, Er Mao doesn't have any restrictions. As long as we spend the money, we can buy the ships and do whatever we want!" Leng Feng smiled.
"Oh, the United States and the Southern United States agreed to this?" Boss Jia asked in surprise. The countries that sold the ships had no interest in restricting what the buyers could do.
It was just that the United States and some other western countries had jumped out to stop them. Due to the other party's strength, the countries that sold the ships had no choice but to agree.
This time, when Er Mao sold the ships, these countries would also jump out to stop him and restrict him.
"Originally, there was a limit, but Er Mao is really poor now!" Leng Feng snorted and said, "The United States and the other countries have been clamoring to help Er Mao every day to force it to obey them."
"In the past, Er Mao was indeed obedient for a few years and put all kinds of restrictions on us. However, a few years later, it couldn't get a single cent of aid. It could only rely on selling some of the country's heritage from the Soviet era to barely survive. But if there are too many restrictions, the item will naturally not be able to be sold at a high price! "
"Only then did they realize that they had been treated like fools."
"So this time, Er Mao has also thought it through. If those countries want to restrict him, it's fine. They have to give him the billions of USD that they promised a few years ago. Otherwise, there won't be any restrictions."
"It's okay for those countries to shout for help, but if you really want them to give you money, they definitely won't. So, Er Mao didn't put any restrictions on the outside world this time. As long as you give us money, we can do anything. However, they don't provide transportation, so we have to find a way to get it back to our country ourselves!"
"I understand, but the most troublesome thing is probably the transportation problem!" Boss Jia frowned and said, "It's easy to buy it, but once we buy it back, how to transport it will be a big problem. I'm afraid there will be a lot of people who will stop us. I don't want the story from a few years ago to repeat itself!"
"No problem, we've already planned it out. This time, the ship will go through the Mediterranean Sea, through the San Gou Strait, through the Suez Canal, then around Africa, through Mongkok, and finally through the Indian Ocean. The whole process will avoid the sphere of influence of some countries. It's very safe!" Leng Feng said.
"Mr. Jia, you don't have to worry. Although there will still be a certain amount of risk after passing through the Suez Canal, we've already made a lot of preparations. We have at least an 80% chance of passing through smoothly!"
"I know … In fact, after passing through the Suez Canal, there won't be any problems. The biggest problem is the Suez Canal, and that San Gou," Boss Jia muttered.
"Then, one last question!" Boss Jia said calmly, "Who's in charge of the acquisition now? Is it a guy named Xu Ping? "
"Mr. Jia, you know him?" Leng Feng looked at Jia Yapeng in surprise. He muttered in his heart, "Has Jia Yapeng been paying attention to the ship for a long time?"
Of course, the answer was no. Boss Jia had his own selfish motives. Because of a certain mythical beast, Boss Jia didn't really want to get involved with the ship. Moreover, if he got involved, he might end up on the West's blacklist. Then, Boss Jia would be very distressed.
However, this time, Leng Feng had taken the initiative to come to him. Boss Jia finally found his conscience and felt that he couldn't reject him.
As for how he knew about Xu Ping, it was because there were all kinds of news and stories about the ship in the future. There were all kinds of versions on the Internet. As long as one was concerned about national affairs, one would know about the ship like the back of one's hand.
In his previous life, the story of the ship returning to China was very impassioned. In particular, there was a port businessman named Xu Ping who was praised by the whole country. Many articles claimed that it was Xu Ping who overcame all difficulties, sold his villa, and used up all his wealth to buy the ship back.
At first, Boss Jia also believed this story. However, as the truth was gradually uncovered, everything became extremely laughable.
Indeed, in the early days of the ship auction, Xu Ping was in charge of the bidding, planning, negotiating, and finally deciding on the ship. He deserved credit for that.
However, Xu Ping's problem was much bigger than his credit. In the story on the Internet, Xu Ping sold his house and company. He was basically bankrupt.
In fact, Xu Ping did sell his house and company. However, it wasn't to buy the ship. It was because his investment failed and he lost everything.
When the contract was signed and Er Mao wanted Xu Ping to pay, Xu Ping didn't have a single cent. In the end, he begged a domestic securities company. The husband of the securities company was patriotic and took the risk to provide 60 million USD to buy 80% of Xu Ping's company's shares.
In the end, the ridiculous thing was that Xu Ping didn't pay for the 60 million USD. Instead, he continued to speculate. He wanted to use this opportunity to turn the situation around and get back his lost assets.
In the end, he failed miserably. He lost 60 million USD and the contract was delayed again and again. He stayed on the ship platform for more than a year.
In the end, another investment company couldn't stand it anymore. This company decisively kicked Xu Ping out and invested another 60 million USD to buy back the ship.
In the end, the bosses of these two companies were investigated for illegal investments and retired early.
The most hateful thing was that many years later, Xu Ping accepted a media interview and took all the credit for himself. He also said that the country owed him 120 million USD and he wanted the country to pay back the money. It was simply shameless.
In addition, on the way home on the big ship, there were also difficulties and obstacles. The most abominable one was that they encountered a dog. Because it controlled the passage of the Bosch Strait, it stopped the big ship and extorted a ransom of 100 million US dollars before the dog let go of the ship.
[PS: You can check the truth of this history. It is simply shameless to the extreme. When a person is shameless, there is really no bottom line.]
