Of course, the intention is easy to sign. As a gathering of business elites, there is even a template in the Harvard Club. Augustus got up and greeted a handsome man who was drinking with his sister. Zheng Jianguo knew that he was a barrister, so under his witness, Zheng Jianguo signed a letter of intent with Anthony.
Augustus raised his glass in front of him: "Congratulations -"
"Thank you, Augustus ~"
Anthony also picked up the glass in front of him, gulped it into his mouth, put it down, and looked at Zheng Jianguo with his still blurred eyes: "Zheng, what do you do?"
"Well, I'm a resident in the emergency room -"
After looking at half a glass of brandy in his hand, Zheng Jianguo gently sipped it and said, "Oh, you are the good student from the Republic --"
"Yes, good student."
Seeing the goods become more and more careless, Zheng Jianguo didn't want to talk to him more, but he couldn't stand it. When he didn't want to talk to him, Anthony seemed to have some curiosity about him: "I don't know which emergency room you work as a resident doctor, and your salary can copy the Titanic?"
"Hehe, this is personal privacy, which is inconvenient to disclose -"
When someone asked about his treatment, Zheng Jianguo was more and more not impressed with him. Fortunately, Anthony was also well-informed. After a few words, he said: "although the shipbuilding industry is short of orders due to the shrinkage of the global shipping market, considering that the displacement of Titanic 2 you want to build is more than 40000 tons, if I remember correctly, it is 46000 tons.
Kram, who remade s.o.s.titanic last year, came to ask about the price, so that's why I know the approximate budget. It takes about $400 million for the ship to be completely copied according to the standard of 1:1. Of course, this does not include the decoration inside -- "
Since mankind started the era of great navigation, there have been many shipwrecks every year, but the sinking of the Titanic is special. It hit an iceberg on its maiden voyage, directly killing more than 1500 people.
As the shipwreck with the largest number of casualties in peacetime, the sinking of the Titanic has become the focus of film and television directors and producers. From the day of its sinking, it will be moved to the screen every few years or more.
S.o.s.titanic in 1979 is the latest TV documentary, in which the delicate technique has the feeling in Zheng Jianguo's memory, but the most important love is missing.
This is not only the reason why Zheng Jianguo wants to rebuild, but also the reason why Anthony can know the approximate budget. Therefore, even if he has an approximate psychological price for the budget of Titanic 2, he was surprised by this figure. 400 million US dollars is not the internal decoration, that is to say, it is just the price of the empty ship: "the decoration should cost a lot of money?"
"It's not much compared with the cost, about 30 or 50 million."
Looking at Zheng Jianguo's normal cheek, Anthony glanced at Augustus next to him. He didn't expect that this number would make the other party not even frown. He turned his hand holding the glass and sat up straight and said, "since we are our own people, I'm not afraid to say that this price is very kind, although the shipping industry as a whole is in decline, The operating rate of major shipyards is insufficient, but you want to build the titanic or rebuild it 1:1. The price is still relatively cheap - "
"Is the shipping industry in decline now? I remember seeing a report on the construction of the world's largest oil tanker a few days ago -- "
Zheng Jianguo blinked after a thought flashed in his mind. Anthony heard it, raised his glass, saluted him and drank: "the Porthos built by Yokosuka Sumitomo heavy machinery chase Bang shipyard in Japan was originally owned by mercury shipping company in Greece, and the original design tonnage was 440000 tons of oil tanker.
Now the owner is the Oriental Overseas Container Shipping Company on Hong Kong Island, and its name has been changed to Oriental giant. The tonnage after modification will reach 565000 tons. If it can be launched on schedule, it will be the largest oil tanker in the world - however, I am not optimistic about the future of this ship. "
"Because you see a decrease in tanker orders from the shipyard?"
The picture in Zheng Jianguo's mind is much clearer. Depending on the information explosion environment in his previous life, he has vaguely remembered that the Oriental giant mentioned by Anthony should belong to the family on Hong Kong Island, but he can't confirm at the moment: "now the oil price is so high, should it be profitable to transport it?"
"The change of the name of the Porthos to the Oriental giant is enough to illustrate the problem."
Anthony pretended to be profound and raised his glass again. Zheng Jianguo finally understood what he was saying: "yes, the original world's No. 1 oil tanker was resold before it was launched, so it must be that the original owner's capital turnover can't come over, and if the capital turnover of a fleet owner who can order the world's largest oil tanker is ineffective, it can only be a big trouble --"
"Yes, Zheng, your business mind is still qualified. You can understand this in an instant. Unexpectedly, you have a good business mind outside the medical field. I have some confidence in your order -"
Anthony nodded slowly and said that Zheng Jianguo realized the potential role of the club for the first time. Everyone is an elite in a certain direction. After a few words, he pointed out the current decline of the shipping industry. Only when he remembered that he would like to build a salvage ship, he felt that it was worth it this time: "Anthony, If I want to rebuild a salvage ship, do you have any good suggestions? "
"Salvage boat? What do you want? Underwater treasure? You can buy a cheap one and refit it yourself. If you give me the order of Titanic 2, I can change it for you free -- "
To Zheng Jianguo's surprise, when he pretended not to care and said the salvage ship, Anthony swept away his slightly drunk appearance, stared at him with brown eyes, and asked, "where do you want to go? Do you want to find the Titanic? You -- I'm so surprised. "
"Yes - you surprised me, too."
Zheng Jianguo was really surprised. He really tried to ask, but he didn't expect that the goods really guessed his idea.
You should know this idea, but Zheng Jianguo didn't disclose it when facing Zhu Jinghong. He immediately looked at Augustus, who was also stunned next to him, and continued to say, "yes, Anthony, I want to fish out the Titanic, so that my Titanic 2 can play its maximum value."
"Yes, if you fished out the Titanic, I'm sure you'll make a lot of money just by taking the route you should have taken every week. Your idea is too genius, Augustus. I didn't think he could pass our test -"
Anthony shouted at Zheng Jianguo with excited hands on the table. Then he finally turned to Augustus next to him and said two words. Unexpectedly, Augustus quickly interrupted him and said, "Zheng has passed the test of the club. The directors and managers unanimously agreed to set up a home for him."
"Well, yes, Zheng is so smart that you old guys will not let go."
Anthony yelled and resumed his previous drunkenness again. Then he turned to look at Zheng Jianguo. He looked embarrassed and said, "if I have money, I should immediately take a stake in your No. 2. Augustus, don't you take a stake? I heard you made a lot of money - well, it seems that Zheng made it with you? "
"Zheng, do you have any plans to buy a home in New York?"
Looking at Anthony's business, he began to be suspected of running the train. Augustus said with a cigar in his mouth. Zheng Jianguo said with a smile: "when it comes to home ownership, I want to buy a hotel. Just considering that there are no management talents in my hand, this is the decision I didn't make up my mind."
"Well, it's easy to say that big John has a cousin, who used to be the steward of the Duke of Manchester. Now the old prince has sold his castle in order to pay off the debt. If you need a steward, I think it can be considered, LBS School of business management."
Augustus knew that Zheng Jianguo had registered with the umbrella group headquartered in Boston, which was the reason why he had asked about home ownership. After all, if Zheng Jianguo didn't send all his money home like the Chinese a hundred years ago, he wanted the other party to take root here: "which hotel do you want to buy? "Upper east side or lower east side of Manhattan?"
"Is this guy really so rich?"
With Anthony's amazing Kung Fu, Zheng Jianguo didn't hide it from Augustus, so he waved the biggest butterfly wings: "how do you feel about Hyatt Hotel? I heard the hotel got a tax exemption permit from New York City? "
"Zheng, your news is very well informed. Hyatt Hotel has been in the limelight recently. Eh, isn't this the place where your gastrointestinal disease conference is held? The boss got the tax exemption permit from New York City, but I heard that he didn't pay much money himself. The money for house purchase and decoration came from bank loans -- "
Although Augustus didn't pay attention to the hunger under his nose, he knew a lot of gossip about the hotel, because the frequency of the hotel's recent report was almost as high as Camille Xiaosi: "if you want the hotel and no one, you can also go to the bank to buy the creditor's rights and let him work for you. After all, the benchmark interest rate has risen again, I'm afraid the bank also wants to recover the loan and then release it. It's equivalent to asking him to take care of the hotel after you buy the property. Of course, he will also make some hard money and -- "
"But that will still be making wedding clothes for the East King -"
Zheng Jianguo wanted to fan the old boy with one wing, instead of spending money to support each other, but he came back to his mind at the next moment: "it's OK to let the old boy expand? Well, if you have a close relationship with this goods, I don't know if this goods can be selected again - it is said that the means of tax avoidance of this goods is the first in the world? "
Zheng Jianguo doesn't have much resentment against Dongwang, nor does he have any resentment against the presidents of the whole United States. If he had it in his previous life, it also disappeared after he had money in his life. Those who open their mouth and shut their mouth and accuse others that their interests are greater than heaven, don't you eat on salary?
The world is prosperous, all for profit; The world is bustling, all for profit.
This was written into the historical records two thousand years ago. Zheng Jianguo barely had enough food and clothing in his last life. If there was any interest idea, that is, the scope of food and clothing, and additional grievances. He was also severely hit when he bought his son's wedding house that year.
Since he came to the United States, Zheng Jianguo has a clear understanding of human interests and national interests. Of course, this is mainly due to the information explosion that he stayed at home in his previous life, so everyone thinks about the interests they represent from their own perspectives, just as Augustus said earlier: "represent your group -"
Zheng Jianguo is a Republican, which is his understanding of himself. Only in front of Augustus, he is the representative of the Chinese community. Referring to the explanation of the reasons behind the Chinese Exclusion Act on the way before he came, he knows that Augustus is trying to confuse himself to stay. For the countless Chinese represented by his back, this is not just Chinese in the United States, but Chinese all over the world.
If you are a real 19-year-old, Zheng Jianguo should have gone floating at this time. After all, at the age of 19, you can become the representative of Chinese all over the world. This honor is enough to make anyone forget.
However, Zheng Jianguo knew that all this was due to the weakness of the Qing Dynasty at that time. Without a strong enough country as the backing, the Chinese were rootless duckweeds.
Without the glory of the rising Tang Empire, Wang xuance can't destroy a country by one. Of course, Zheng Jianguo won't tell Augustus about it. In his opinion, these people are friends who have a good relationship to make money: "even if you have creditor's rights, I'm afraid he'll run away if you buy them."
Remembering Dongwang's understanding of the law, Zheng Jianguo soon gave up the idea of establishing friendship and partnership with the goods. Just as his decision was made, Augustus tilted his head and smiled gently with his cigar: "you don't want it, don't want it."
Just as Anthony laughed, Delia leaned over to Anthony's ear and said something. She saw Anthony look at her in surprise, turned her head to Zheng Jianguo and said, "Delia said that if you want to buy a property, you can consider a property of her father's company, about 65 million dollars."
"65 million? Land and surface buildings? "
Zheng Jianguo was inspired. He originally wanted to buy it in New York, especially in the upper east side of Manhattan. As early as he knew that the house price on Hong Kong Island had more than doubled in the past two years, he remembered that the house bought by Bruce had appreciated again.
So after that, Zheng Jianguo asked people to inquire about the house prices in the upper east side of lower Manhattan in the past 100 years, and was immediately moved by the 5% compound annual growth rate: "should it be a big guy?"
Light blue eyes swept over Zheng Jianguo's face. Delia smiled charmingly and said, "it's a big guy who doesn't include land price. New York State Building --"
