Dragon Nation.
The senior chairman of Yuan Yang Mariti Group received a call from a high-level Hall Master.
He plainly told him, "Don’t reveal a single word of what I’m about to say to anyone, sell all the large vessels under your departnt as soon as possible and liquidate them. I’m giving you one month; it doesn’t matter which country’s shipping company wants to buy, just get rid of them. It’s best to find an appropriate reason and avoid selling them all to one buyer to prevent drawing any attention."
This state-owned enterprise was the largest shipping company in the country.
Out of over 1800 oceangoing vessels recorded nationwide, this state-owned enterprise accounted for more than 600.
Head Yue’s new transportation project would inevitably cause a massive phase-out of the existing global fleet of ships and containers.
As the project had not yet officially started, it was imperative for dostic companies to stop the bleeding and recover their investnts as soon as possible.
Apart from Yuan Yang Group, other companies that possessed a large number of vessels would also receive a notice to minimize losses.
"But Leader, with the global import and export trade recovering and shipping revenues for major companies increasing, we are after all a publicly listed company. If we divest ourselves of ships and containers at this ti, I fear our stock price..."
For those beneath him, their performance was asured by their ability to make money for the big family.
The other side rebuked, "Then delist! I am ordering you, not discussing it with you! What is there to cling to in a lousy company with a market value of only 200 billion RMB? Do as I say imdiately!"
What?
The Yuan Yang Group’s CEO couldn’t have heard that wrong, could he?
Since when did the senior managent beco so dismissive of a 200 billion stock price?
This stock value was comparable to provincial-level enterprises.
Most importantly, according to the senior managent, if they were to liquidize all assets, what would happen to the 60,000 employees maintained by the departnt?
"Leader, is there so major action being planned?" the Yuan Yang CEO inquired curiously.
By the looks of it, it was a cut-and-dried decision!
The other side replied, "That’s none of your concern. Keep your mouth shut!"
With that, the call was abruptly ended.
Why give dostic shipping companies a month’s ti?
Because that ti was for Gu Feng to finalize research and pilot tests. After half a month, once the first Formation was successfully implented, it would be ti for Dragon Nation’s business magnates to start seeking overseas partnership and cooperation.
By then, if you want to liquidize your assets, chances are there won’t be any foolish buyers left.
That’s the advantage of having insider information.
Including a few shipping magnate families from the Hong Kong District, ever since Hong Kong Capital collectively shifted its focus inland, they too were taken care of.
The Huo Family personally contacted several and secretly sold their ships and containers to other world shipping companies.
In the current climate of recovering global trade, while other companies were eagerly anticipating cheap deals to buy ready-made ships and containers, the five major groups swiftly moved in to acquire them.
Of course, one month was definitely not enough to completely unload the 30% share of dostic ships and containers.
But a good portion was sold off, recovering a substantial amount of investnt.
Right after the first test of the Teleportation Array was successful, in the face of the imminent overwhelming resources, insider news already spread, prompting major forces to start maneuvering to slice up the pie.
The largest slice was undoubtedly reserved for the Pangu departnt that was driving the project.
Next was the railway.
However, since Pangu entrusted the entire project to the railway, the honors were distributed around the railway in tiered slices of the pie.
Firstly, the global direct fee collection business was assigned to the railway.
Initial negotiations were set at 5 RMB per kilogram with various countries, and how much they charged their dostic enterprises was their own business.
Driving a global project, of course, ant allowing allies to profit as well.
Even if the final pricing exceeded 10 RMB per unit, given the teleportation’s efficiency in defeating shipping tis, global multinational trade companies would find it hard to refuse.
Based on last year’s 12 billion tons of mariti cargo weight.
With this pricing, Dragon Nation could directly pocket 60 trillion RMB!
And if ally nations raised the unit price to 10 RMB, the remaining 60 trillion RMB would be split among them.
Of course, this revenue calculation accounted for the global market’s goods.
Initially pushing this project would definitely face obstacles, and the share wouldn’t be as much.
But Dragon Nation wasn’t in a rush.
A sure-win business could take its ti.
In the short term, the upper echelons only planned to pilot the project in Central Asia; essentially, they were first bringing their imdiate neighbors along to earn money together.
Once these neighbors saw their GDP appreciating, those European countries would naturally beco restless.
At that point, Dragon Nation wouldn’t need to approach anyone—they would co knocking on their own, even betraying their current leaders.
As for the counterpart across the shore, it probably wouldn’t be up to him anymore, as countless world-class multinational corporations would be pushing the White House to capitulate!
Because no one could deny the economic efficiency brought about by teleportation!
As long as it spurred the global economy, these future profits would be collectively protected with Dragon Nation taking the lead.
The second largest piece of the cake was deciding which city in Dragon Nation would beco the new global operational hub!
This was crucial!
This enormous project would manage the annual flow of global trade funds, reaching a staggering sum of hundreds of trillions of RMB.
It was a premiere position!
Regardless of which city it fell upon, such a large GDP would, from foreign exchange alone, be a significant revenue source!
And the right to choose which city belonged to Pangu!
In Gu Feng’s hands!
While other territories did everything in their power to vie for this city project, all the Hall Masters inford their subordinates, "Don’t kid yourselves; this project will land in the Dongguang territory, and as for which city, that’s not your concern."
In this matter, no one would challenge Gu Feng for this spot.
Because he had already provided the treasury with a cake worth several tens of trillions of RMB, and all the senior executives in the huge corporation had to coddle him!
At the mont, all private enterprise groups and capital circles were concerned about which area in Dongguang this city would fall in.
Because once the city was confird, related to this project, the impact on private enterprises would be significant, and it would be very lucrative.
Firstly, global travel associated with this business would proceed.
Pushing an entire year’s global traffic of 5 billion visits!
Hotels, restaurants, customs declarations, online reception of goods and ho delivery, as well as all the statistics of loading and unloading goods would certainly be outsourced to private companies.
All of this could drive private capital to share in the profits.
Considering this involved centralizing the scale of all global material trades, this piece of cake was too significant for any investnt company to overlook!
Thus, when this major project was being pushed, those with hidden capital were frantically seeking connections to get a slice of the pie.
