John couldn’t help feeling dejected—it was like punching cotton and wanting to spit blood.
Unexpectedly, he, the "Pirate King," who always sched to take others’ money, was also brutally fleeced himself.
If only he had known, he would rather not have broken the contract...
However, he was sowhat perplexed. Chronologically, the opponent had purchased the tanker even before he had made his future market prediction, thereby creating a timing difference!
Having spent a lifeti climbing the ranks in the energy shipping industry, John was extrely confident in his judgnt.
Add to that his current status, he definitely had access to the best global industry intelligence.
Under such advantageous circumstances, it was unthinkable that soone had anticipated his prediction over a month in advance...
And what was key was that this person wasn’t even an industry insider...that was a bit terrifying!
No! Not terrifying, it was utterly inconceivable!
But he was not a sore loser. Having pondered long and hard without an answer, the ship king soon decisively said,
"Go tell Gao Sheng’s people, we agree to their price!"
"Ah?" His deputy looked astonished.
"Boss, at such a high price, aren’t we going to bargain? Didn’t Mr. Tang say the other party is short on funds? If we could delay, maybe they would compromise."
John shook his head helplessly, "Don’t you understand? The ones who can’t afford to wait are us!
With the current leasing market fluctuating daily, I predict that it won’t be long before tanker prices begin to skyrocket.
By the ti everyone else realizes the market is rebounding, the price to buy then will likely be far beyond what it is now..."
He stood at the dock, gazing at the calm sea in the distance.
The international situation was recent unstable, the nuclear agreent had broken down, and executives from Hua Wei were just detained; the conflict between the world’s two largest groups is likely to intensify even more.
There’s sothing to what they said, the greater the storm, the higher the price of fish...
"Handle this matter imdiately, be quick to have them sign the purchase contract, I don’t want any slip-ups during this process.
Also, negotiate with them to see if it’s possible to buy the remaining two tankers as well, even if it’s a bit more expensive, the most important thing is speed. Within a month, I want these ships to join our fleet!"
"Uh...okay, boss!"
"Right, you just ntioned, among the six ships they are selling to us, one went through so modifications? That... ’autonomous driving’?"
John suddenly asked, as if recalling sothing.
"Yes, I ntioned it to you before, that seller Baiyeji is an IT company, apparently involved in related R&D.
However, it’s probably just a gimmick. I’ve never heard of any high-tech company developing worthwhile systems, let alone one made in China.
We might even have to go through the hassle of dismantling that useless equipnt later." His deputy said dismissively.
"Emm..." John’s eyes flickered thoughtfully.
Though there were eight ships, they only agreed to sell six, and one of them ca with undisclosed cargo...
What were they keeping the other two for?
He always felt that this peculiar move by the other party sohow held a deeper aning...
"Doot—"
Engrossed in thought, John heard a loud ship’s horn, and saw from a distance a large cargo ship slowly approaching the dock.
On this cargo ship, several Ai Dou New Energy cars were quietly parked in the ship’s hold, waiting to dock...
...
anwhile, in Yangcheng City.
"Dammit, how dare they... It’s outrageous! We must protest to the end!"
The usually calm Mr. Yu was now visibly furious.
Sitting across from him, Mr. Ren remained unusually silent, sighing after a long ti.
"Calm down, we had been prepared for this, hadn’t we? We just didn’t expect them to act so soon...
It must be our series of preparatory actions that caught their attention..."
"So what do we do now?"
"Don’t panic, the top won’t ignore this matter.
Since they chose to act in Canada instead of our holand, it indicates they don’t want to completely break with Country Hua, leaving room for negotiation.
The person should still be safe for now, soon they will likely secretly negotiate terms with us...
It’s all about trying to stop our expansion in the 5G communication area, or even make us... another Stoneal..."
"Hmm! I never thought it would actually happen as that person predicted..."
Mr. Yu felt a mix of relief and trepidation.
Thank heavens for the expert’s guidance that allowed them to prepare in advance, or else they would have been even more passive now.
"Mr. Ren, what should we do next?"
"et force with force, hold the front with earth. Let each departnt perform its roles within the company, and prepare all kinds of contingency plans as previously planned!
Now that they’ve brazenly made their move, if we refuse to compromise, they are likely to intensify their various blockades against us.
And once they begin, they’ll aim for our weakest link!
Our most vulnerable point at this ti would probably be our consur electronics business..."
Mr. Ren looked at Mr. Yu.
He imdiately said, "Don’t worry, our ergency task force has already completed the preliminary ’photoconversion design’ of the Qilin chip. The prototype results are very promising.
