#225 - Chapter 225: Acquire global ports and terminals! Build another nuclear power plant? Rejected!
Bright and early.
After a good night's sleep, Chen Hao woke up from his dream.
Thankfully!
He wasn't dragged into a late-night discussion by Old Yuan last night.
The old man and the young man had agreed that once the person Old Yuan was looking for arrived in Shanghai, he would specifically take a few days out, so there was no rush.
It's worth mentioning that Xie Wu got his wish.
Old Yuan originally wanted to pull Chen Hao in again, but Xie Wu dissuaded him from the side with various reasons, and Old Yuan didn't insist.
In short, Chen Hao accepted this favor and reluctantly agreed to participate in the song festival.
"Morning."
Xia Qingmo came downstairs.
"Morning."
Chen Hao immediately went up to greet her.
He took her hand.
With a thought, he chuckled and said, "Qingmo, how about I sing for you?"
Pfft!
Xia Qingmo almost laughed out loud, but suddenly felt shy, her cheeks flushed red.
It's morning, okay?
She has to go to class, okay?
Singing?
She wasn't stupid and immediately guessed his thoughts: obviously because of that time, after singing they kissed… he was thinking about bad things!
"I… I have to go to class…"
Her cheeks were burning.
"Okay."
Chen Hao was a little disappointed.
Suddenly, the girl stood on tiptoe.
Smooch!
Like a chick pecking rice, she kissed him on the cheek.
Then, her cheeks flushed red with shame, and she ran out as if fleeing.
Chen Hao revealed a knowing smile, just as he was savoring his wife's kiss, his phone rang.
It was Bao Enni!
"Mr. Chen, last time was just a small favor, how can it be equated?"
"If you don't accept it, my brother will be uneasy!"
These past two days, after discovering that Chen Hao hadn't taken the initiative to contact them, she and Bao Jun finally couldn't help but take the initiative to call.
In Chen Hao's view, the brother and sister helped solve Xia Qingmo's awful relatives a few days ago, so it was like an eye for an eye.
But the two siblings felt…
How could it be compared to his great kindness?
It's a world of difference!
"Like this!"
Seeing that Bao Enni wouldn't give up, Chen Hao said helplessly: "I'll go find you, let's talk when we meet."
He could see it now.
Both siblings were stubborn people.
They wouldn't give up until they achieved their goal.
Then…
Change the method!
…
Hua Ting Hotel.
Shanghai's earliest five-star hotel.
"I understand your thoughts, and I also ask you to understand me."
Chen Hao said with a solemn expression and a deep voice: "I have a proposal, let's each take a step back."
"Mr. Chen, please speak!"
"Does Global Shipping currently have any involvement in port and wharf investment?"
"Yes!"
Bao Jun nodded: "Many ports and wharves in Hong Kong are either completely under our name or have our shares."
"What about overseas?" Chen Hao asked further.
Overseas?
Bao Jun was stunned and shook his head: "This… not yet."
"Like this!"
Chen Hao nodded and said: "Then I will accept 30% of the shares, and at the same time establish a new company to expand global port and wharf business—find ways to fully acquire wharves with good geographical locations."
"I will invest 50 billion, the Bao family doesn't need to invest, and will hold 30% of the shares."
"The new company will be fully responsible by you."
Currently.
The Bao family's main business is shipping.
Although they are also involved in ports and wharves, it is only limited to Hong Kong.
Global layout?
Too much capital is needed!
In fact, in the future, with the development of shipping, the value of ports and wharves will become greater and greater.
Even.
A large number of technological elements will also be integrated.
Such as intelligent unmanned terminals.
This field has a lot of room for development!
"This…"
Bao Jun frowned: "That's not right! You took my shares, but you built a new company, all of which you invested in, and I took away 30% of the shares, doesn't that equal exchanging shares? My original intention…"
His original intention was to give away 30% of the shares for free, to be grateful for Chen Hao's great kindness.
Now it has become an exchange.
How could Chen Hao get any advantage?
"Who said that?"
Chen Hao smiled: "I don't know anything about the shipping industry, giving the new company to you to be responsible for has already helped me a lot."
"But…"
"If you still don't agree, then let's just call it quits."
"I…"
Bao Jun really had no choice: "I agree!"
He would never have thought that today's exchange of shares with Chen Hao would allow the Bao family to go from simple maritime transportation to becoming a true shipping overlord.
In the future.
The Bao family will not only have the world's largest shipping group in terms of transport capacity.
It also controls a large number of high-quality ports around the world.
And then manipulate the shipping industry chain!
…
Soon, Ren Xue came over.
Bao Enni is currently the CEO of Global Shipping.
The two connected on various details, such as the establishment of a new company, as well as capital injection and share exchange.
On the other side.
Learning that Chen Hao hadn't eaten breakfast yet, Bao Jun dragged him straight to the restaurant.
How could he let his benefactor go hungry?
"There's a problem… I think I should remind you."
Bao Jun took a sip of coffee.
"You say."
Chen Hao devoured his food.
He had a big appetite at this age and was never picky about food.
"There are risks in acquiring ports and wharves."
Bao Jun frowned slightly and said in a low voice: "Like some small countries and poor countries, the difficulty is relatively low, but it's difficult for those developed countries, the key is… have you ever thought that they might not recognize the debt?"
"Those Western developed countries are essentially bandits!"
"They started by colonizing and plundering, such as signing contracts and then going back on their word… it's very common!"
Buying existing wharves is better.
The most frustrating thing is to spend money to buy a harbor and build it from scratch, and when you have built the infrastructure, the other party…
Tears up the agreement.
Refuses to admit it.
Forcibly takes back the built port!
"Mr. Chen, I'm not trying to scare you, they can do this kind of thing."
Bao Jun sighed.
"I know."
Chen Hao's eyes flashed with a cold light: "We spend money to buy and build, that is our asset, and we are descendants of China—tearing up the agreement and not recognizing it is equivalent to indirectly swallowing Chinese assets."
"These Western rogues don't care about these things!"
Bao Jun smiled bitterly.
"If that day really comes, we'll fight back."
"Ah?!"
"Swallowing Chinese assets is tantamount to declaring war, then let it be as they wish—let's start a war!"
"…"
Bao Jun stared at him blankly.
Was he joking?
Would the country go to war with other countries for a businessman?
What a joke!
Just then.
A phone call came in.
"Chief Engineer Chen, this is Jiang Ye."
On the phone, his tone was very respectful.
Jiang Ye.
Head of the Ling Ao Nuclear Power Station.
Originally, he was the chief engineer, but when facing Chen Hao, he was willing to be an elementary school student.
No one else.
When he led everyone to build a 2.5-generation nuclear power plant, Chen Hao suddenly parachuted into the scene and gave the 4th-generation nuclear power technology—Thorium-based molten salt reactor!
What concept?
That was the standard proposed by the United States at the beginning of the year.
Note, it's the standard!
Similar to a concept, even the United States doesn't have this technology!
"Chief Engineer Jiang?"
Chen Hao smiled and said, "Long time no see, what's the matter?"
"It's like this!"
Jiang Ye said respectfully: "After we verified your 4th-generation nuclear power technology, we reported it to the country, and Yanjing gave it great affirmation and prepared to invest in two more nuclear power plants—in this regard, I would like to solicit your opinion."
"Let's build the ones under construction, don't invest in any more nuclear power plants."
"This…"
Jiang Ye was dumbfounded, looking uncomprehending: "Why?"
There is obviously 4th-generation nuclear power technology.
The country is also willing to invest money.
Why not build it?
