Chapter 174 Qin Tao: Anyway, I only pay 10 million

  That night, Qin Tao took Cong Ju to a hotel in a nearby town.

"President Qin, is this gantry crane weird?" Cong Ju asked. Although she was shocked by the huge gantry crane, she still had a clear mind. Since Qin Tao didn't make a decision right away, there must be something wrong. .

  Qin Tao smiled: "It's a big problem, just dismantling and assembling, there is no eight million that can't come down."

   "What?" Cong Ju opened her eyes wide: "Eight million is needed for disassembly and assembly?"

   "Yes." Qin Tao said: "This is still an ideal situation."

  8 million for disassembly and assembly, and more than one million for sea freight, which is close to 10 million. Doesn’t it mean that the other party’s gantry crane was given away for free?

  Cong Ju was shocked.

   "President Qin, will the other party ask us to increase the price?"

   "Price increase? It hasn't been sold for several years. How could they let us go with such a big money backer like us?" Qin Tao said, "Anyway, boil the frogs in warm water and come little by little."

  Cong Ju was thoughtful.

   Never came out with Qin Tao before, but I heard that Qin Tao got a lot of good things from Lao Maozi. I guess he got them by this way, right?

   This is clearly a pit, but Qin Tao kicked the American down, and then stood by the pit and shouted, come on, come on!

"Anyway, we will pay 10 million, and they will definitely agree. After signing the contract, we will pay the deposit first. When they spend more than our deposit, they will have to ask us to come." Qin Tao said: " Let's give them a little bit, and if they are exhausted, at most we will have to pay an extra shipping fee. 11 million, it is cheap enough to buy a 1,000-ton German-made gantry crane. However, it is estimated that there will be a long delay Time, don't count on the ship we are currently building."

   Cong Ju's eyes sparkled.

   There is no risk-free business, but there are various ways to minimize the risk! Qin Tao's way of doing business left a deep impression on Cong Ju. In the future, if she wants to develop from a skilled worker to a comprehensive talent, she has to learn more from Qin Tao!

   The next day, sure enough, Williams came with a man.

"Mr. Qin, this is Mr. Jims, the person in charge of our specialized heavy lifting company in Florida. They are willing to undertake this business. They are responsible for the dismantling, hoisting and final installation of the gantry crane, but the cost is very high. Expensive." Williams introduced to Qin Tao.

Jims reached out his hand, shook hands with Qin Tao, and said, "Our hoisting company is the most professional. We need to use special hydraulic jacking devices to complete the disassembly. However, these devices cost money. Yes, so we need a fee of $3.8 million."

   After speaking, he looked at Qin Tao expectantly.

  Of course Qin Tao didn't feel it anymore.

   Needless to say 3.8 million, if you say 8 million, it has nothing to do with us!

   "Of course." Qin Tao nodded: "Mr. Williams, do you have any objections?"

  Williams' face was a little red: "This price is too expensive, Mr. Qin, I hope you can increase the purchase price."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Williams. In fact, our base price is eight million. You proposed a price of ten million, which is already very high. Last night, I made a phone call with China. After serious discussions in China, I finally decided to increase the price. However, 10 million is already the highest, if you still want to raise the price, then we can only go to Europe to see."

  Williams was very helpless.

"In addition to the purchase price of 3.8 million, we also need 1.2 million US dollars in transportation costs. In this case, the price of the gantry crane becomes 5 million, which is too low." Williams said .

"Yeah, it's really not cost-effective for you. If this is the case, then you can keep it as the most spectacular sight on the horizon." Qin Tao said: "We have already booked the air ticket for tonight. Fly to Europe."

  Williams felt the sweat dripping from his forehead again, he didn't take the trap at all, the buyer was finally willing to buy it, and he could sell it for some money!

   "Okay, then we can sell it to you at this price."

Qin Tao nodded: "Since everything is arranged by you as a whole, of course we have to sign the contract according to the overall package." Qin Tao continued: "We first pay a 20% deposit in advance, and wait until the crane is disassembled. After that, we will pay another 20 percent, 20 percent on shipment, another 20 percent when the cargo ship arrives at our port, and finally install it, and pay the remaining 20 percent, how about that?"

  Qin Tao divided the 10 million into five shares, each with 2 million, and paid slowly.

Hearing Qin Tao's words, Williams shook his head again and again: "No, no, you need to buy the gantry crane completely, that is, the purchase fee of 5 million U.S. dollars must be paid immediately, and then another 3.8 million U.S. dollars will be paid Dismantling costs, so that it can be disassembled, and finally pay 1.2 million US dollars in transportation costs, we can pass the risk to the insurance company. As long as the insurance is in place.”

  Qin Tao smiled: "Well, then we will be Gudebai."

   After speaking, Qin Tao turned his head and left.

  Cong Ju followed behind Qin Tao and left quickly. Leave Williams and Jims staring at each other.

what to do?

  People are not subdued at all, everything is done according to the other party's requirements?

  Can it be done?

   The landscape on the horizon is still standing there, and many places are starting to rust.

   If it takes another three to five years, no one will want the five million!

  When Qin Tao took Cong Ju to appreciate the exotic customs on the streets of the town, Williams and Jims were fighting with heaven and man.

Jims said to Williams: "We estimated that one million dollars is enough for demolition work, and it is one million for installation. After all, we are using new technology. The first two million dollars need Call our company first, so that we can construct, anyway, as long as it is dismantled, we can get another two million, and we can still do such a business."

  The two have been good friends for many years, that's why Williams asked Jims to make a fortune. He didn't know that this business would cost Jims a lot of money.

   "God bless, our business must be done." Williams finally made up his mind.

  This specialized heavy hoisting company in Florida was actually established just yesterday to dismantle the gantry crane here, so as to save Qin Tao from asking the Germans.

  Although Jims has previous experience in related industries, it is definitely the first time for him to use a gantry crane of this level. In his eyes, there will be no major problems with his original hydraulic lifting method.

   When Qin Tao had a western meal with Cong Ju, when he came back, he happened to run into Williams and Jims who had already made up their minds.

   "Boss Qin, we have decided to do this business, so we will follow your request." Williams said.

"You must be careful." Qin Tao said: "If you lose a part during disassembly and transportation, it will not be able to be installed, and you will not be able to get the two million dollars for the final installation. You'd better hire Someone with experience to oversee."

  Qin Tao will not leave someone to supervise here, it will cost money! As it is now, it is best to completely hand it over to them. If you want to get the final payment, you have to make sure that the parts are safe.

"Also, if you want to hire an insurance company, that's your business. In short, we will pay the money, and then go back and wait. By the way, in terms of time, let's make sure, how long do you think is feasible? "

   "Half a year," Jims said.

   "Then, if there is a delay, we have the right to give up the gantry crane and pay you additional compensation." Qin Tao said: "This is also an international practice."

"good."

  The contract was signed. Looking at the contract in both Chinese and English, Cong Ju was extremely shocked. Qin Gong, that's amazing! This contract is completely beneficial to oneself, as long as the other party signs it, Qin Gong will lead him by the nose in the future.

   These Yankees, will they cry and beg to come to Mingzhou Shipyard for comfort in the future?

   "I'll ask over there to make the payment immediately." Qin Tao is also a person who does what he says, and since the contract has been signed, of course he has to make the payment immediately.

   As he spoke, Qin Tao picked up the hotel phone.

  Williams and Jims looked at Qin Tao's conspicuous big brother on the table in surprise.

  Qin Tao smiled: "This call is cheaper."

(Whether Big Brother can roam to the United States, the hero of East China does not know. It seems that the treasure island can roam to the United States and Europe. However, the protagonist is pretending to use Big Brother, and it is not a real call. It is a local landline Easy to use.)

After the phone call, Qin Tao recruited James again: "Now, let's study the specific cutting. This is very important. Each cut part is between 150 tons and 400 tons, and , can not affect the subsequent installation, the cutting position is very important, now, I have a plan."

Qin Tao is a shipbuilder, and of course he is very familiar with gantry cranes. This kind of gantry crane weighs 5,500 tons. It must be cut and disassembled before transportation. If it is cut, it is very particular. If it is cut wrong, it can be assembled. , the lifting capacity will also be reduced.

   This thing will eventually be reborn in the Mingzhou Shipyard, and Qin Tao doesn't want to lose anything.

   Time has entered April. When Qin Tao brought Cong Ju back to Mingzhou Shipyard, it was already getting hot.

   There were cicadas’ calls outside the window, the drizzle was falling, and the meeting room was full of excitement.

   "Boss Qin, with this gantry crane, can our shipyard become a large shipyard like Huating Shipyard?" Zhao Changshui said with a smile.

  Qin Tao can make money as well as spend money. The order for the LNG ship brought the shipyard an income of 60 million US dollars. However, before the construction of the ship started, Qin Tao spent 10 million dollars.

   At this time, no one would accuse Qin Tao of spending money indiscriminately, even Qin Baoshan didn't say anything. Of course he knew what the arrival of this large gantry crane meant.

"The gantry crane will take about one or two years to arrive, so we can't count on shipbuilding now." Qin Tao said: "We will use the docking method of the floating dock and the No. 2 dock to complete the current order. At the same time, we plan to build a large dock with a capacity of 400,000 tons and a slipway with a capacity of 100,000 tons."

"What?"

  Everyone was shocked again.

  Qin Tao How big is the satellite?

"The gantry crane we bought has a span of more than 200 meters. If this gantry crane is only used to transform the current dock, it will be of great use." Qin Tao said: "Its span is more than 200 meters. It means that we can have a dock with a width of 200 meters. Since the width has reached 200 meters, the length should be at least 400 meters, right? Such a dock is a large dock of 400,000 tons ?"

  Because I have a paddle on hand, so I want to build a boat? Because there is a gantry crane at hand, in order to match this gantry crane, it is necessary to build a 400,000-ton dock?

  Qin Tao did this, isn't it a little too much?

Yang Dawei spoke from the side: "Qin Gong, there is only a special ship repair yard in the south that has a 300,000-ton shipyard. Even our Bincheng shipyard is under planning. Is this necessary? ?”

Qin Tao nodded: "Of course it is necessary. Their dock is only 300 meters long, so longer freighters cannot enter it. Once our dock is built, it will be the first in the country, and it cannot be repaired elsewhere. We can repair here. We can build all kinds of large cargo ships, container ships, oil tankers, and natural gas ships, but I’m afraid it won’t be enough in the future.”

"How bold you are, how productive the land is, Mr. Qin, I support you!" Zhang Jinxi, who can shout slogans, said again: "Our Mingzhou Iron and Steel Plant will also make every effort to develop advanced marine steel to meet the needs of the shipyard. need."

  Qin Baoshan nodded: "We respect the group's decision."

Anyway, the money is earned by Qin Tao, how to spend it is Qin Tao's business, and Qin Baoshan can also see that Qin Tao is very capable of tossing around, maybe he can really lead Mingzhou Shipyard to become the largest shipbuilding group in China ?

   "Qin Gong, the design of the LNG ship has been completed, and I want to report to you." Yang Dawei was very polite.

   "Okay, everyone else dismisses the meeting."

   This LNG ship is the main source of profit for Mingzhou Shipyard in the future, so it must be kept highly confidential.

   After all the irrelevant people left, Yang Dawei took out a stack of blueprints.

  Although it was designed by a computer, it still needs to be printed out and sent to the boatman for viewing. After all, Yishui’s automated shipbuilding has not yet started.

"The five spherical tanks in the front occupy most of the space of the hull, and there is a bulbous bow in front to reduce the resistance of sailing. According to our calculations, two MTU diesel engines can be used to reach a speed of twelve knots. The rear is the crew compartment and the power compartment, completely isolated from the front."

  Qin Tao raised various design issues for them. They were responsible for the main design. I have to say that the design team led by Yang Dawei is still very powerful.
