Chapter 461 It’s Too Late to Meet

Evergreen creatures.

"Good tea, is this Wuyi Dahongpao?"

"I heard that Hu Shi liked it, so I asked someone to buy some. Just like it."

"Haha! Director Gao is really serious."

"That's right. City Hu is very supportive of our company. I've always wanted to thank you in person, but I'm just worried about causing trouble to you, so I haven't come to visit you."

"Dr. Gao is too polite. In fact, I should be the one to come and thank you. The last time the dilemma at Bincheng Shipyard was solved, it was also thanks to Director Gao's helping hand.

Not to mention the disaster in the north, what your company has done is a great thing that benefits the country and the people. As a local official in Sioux City, it is an honor for me! "

"Haha! Hu Shi has received the award. I am just an ordinary entrepreneur, and all I conduct is normal business behavior."

"Dr. Gao is humble and can supply the country at a low price of 2 yuan a piece. It shows that Director Gao is a sentimental entrepreneur.

Even if it is really a purely commercial behavior, it shows Director Gao's business vision. "

Hu Yonghua looked at Gao Yuan opposite, filled with emotion.

At a young age, with only one evergreen biological company, the business landscape has expanded rapidly in less than half a year.

Now he not only controls Baiyeji and Idou New Energy, two domestic super-novas, but also has a sudden rise in the field of biomedical technology, and his net worth has increased more than tenfold.

Conservative estimates indicate that the total assets of Wanwu Holdings under Gao Yuan have exceeded 30 billion!

Even in the Yangtze River Delta region where well-known companies are dotted with hidden dragons and crouching tigers, it is still a little commercial giant.

What is surprising is not the size of the other party's assets, but the speed and manner of its rise.

Throughout the history of Gao Yuan's fortune, the reason why the other party was able to succeed was not only the strategic vision and brilliant business skills that surpassed ordinary people, but also the endless promotion of high and new technologies!

The former is not bad. Business geniuses who are more evil than Gao Yuan have never appeared in history.

The latter is quite shocking.

It’s okay to have Professor Zheng in biotechnology. Judging from Bai Yeji’s various star AI products, it seems that the other group has at least one top AI R&D team within it.

The most important thing in the 21st century is talent. Everyone knows this, but most of the companies that can recruit top talents are top companies.

Not to mention that it is an AI field that has just emerged, but the threshold is extremely high.

Could it be that in addition to his extraordinary strategic vision, the other party also has a keen eye for discovering talents?

Then this is an exaggeration!

If the other party can continue this business miracle, maybe it will be the next business giant in the Yangtze River Delta region...

"Actually, I have wanted to come here for a long time. However, my identity is sensitive and my every move is being watched. I am afraid of causing trouble to Director Gao, so I can only take this opportunity to visit your company to express my gratitude to Director Gao! "

Hong Tianfang obviously couldn't stand the evergreen creatures. In order to avoid irritating the other party, he originally wanted to keep a low profile on the relationship between the two parties, at least not to get too close openly.

In addition, because of Hu Yifei's relationship, he has always wanted to avoid suspicion.

Having been an official for many years, he also knew how many businessmen approached them all for the power in his hands, and even for the political influence of the entire Hu family behind him.

We talk about friendship, but in our hearts it’s all about business.

Originally, I was worried that Hu Yifei lacked vigilance and was still counting money for others after being sold. However, after waiting for such a long time, the other party didn't even treat me to a meal, and had no intention of repaying any favor...

In fact, apart from some deserved policy support, the other party has not received any benefits from the Hu family at all, and has repeatedly given away political achievements.

This move greatly increased Hu Yonghua's favor, and he gradually let go of his worries.

After obtaining the old man's consent a few days ago, he finally decided to take the initiative to contact this rising business legend.

On the one hand, he does not have much foundation, so he really needs a firm business ally in the local area to expand his influence.

On the other hand...they gave me too much...

"Hu City, you are serious. Evergreen Biotechnology is an enterprise in Suzhou City. Our enterprise development cannot be separated from your support. It is just a matter of helping each other, not thanking you!" Gao Yuan said politely with a smile.

The first private meeting between the two parties was very cordial.

Although Hu Yifei was not mentioned at all during the conversation, it is undeniable that Hu Yifei played a role as a bridge of trust...

"Haha! Support is a must!

Director Gao, your company is now a star enterprise in our Suzhou City. Ensuring your company's production and supply of billions of seedlings is now the top priority of our government departments...

correct! I heard that your company is in urgent need of funds recently? "

"Well! The company's recent business expansion does require a lot of funds."

Hu Yonghua smiled and nodded, "I came today and brought a special loan of 500 million yuan to Director Gao, which can be regarded as a little support from our government departments to advanced enterprises."

Gao Yuan immediately laughed.

Look, this is called high emotional intelligence, knowing that you can’t come empty-handed for the first time.

Although 500 million is not much for the current Wanwu Holdings, it is an attitude of reciprocating kindness and expressing intention to make good friends...

“Thank you to Hu City for your strong support to our company!”

"Haha! According to what Director Gao just said, we support the development of enterprises, and enterprises support the development of the country. It is just to help each other, not to mention gratitude!" Hu Yonghua said with a smile and waved his hand.

"Haha! If I want to say thank you, then I really have to thank your group Bai Yeji Company for the products developed.

You don’t know yet, but I am a loyal user of “Star Go”. Thanks to it, I have been able to play against professional Go players recently.

Even our old man who lives far away in Beijing received the news and called me specifically to ask me whether the AI ​​voice assistant "Bajie" was really developed by our own company in Sioux City?

Technology changes the world. Although your R&D team, Director Gao, is not famous, the products it develops are really amazing! "

Hu Yonghua said with emotion from the bottom of his heart.

The conversation immediately changed.

"By the way, Director Gao, in addition to these two products, your company also uses the 'Tianshu ERP' developed by Bai Yeji, right?"

Gao Yuan didn't know why the other party suddenly changed the topic after going around in a big circle.

But he still nodded truthfully.

"Yes, all affiliated companies of our group, including Evergreen Biotech, Baiyeji, and Idou New Energy, as well as some important suppliers and distributors, have popularized 'Tianshu ERP'."

"Well! This is another good product..." Hu Yonghua pointed out.

“Some time ago, I went to inspect a unit under the city. They had just installed this ‘Tianshu ERP’. After listening to the report, I really have to admire your group’s technical strength.

According to their estimates, this system can increase their work efficiency by almost 30% and reduce office costs by 10%.

Such a product... to be honest, I don’t know how to evaluate it anymore..."

Tianshu ERP, in the eyes of ordinary people, is an efficient office software.

But in the eyes of some senior executives, it is a bottom-level database, an independent source of business intelligence, and a hope to break foreign monopolies...

Although there are some moths who are blinded by interests and regard it as a scourge.

But the country does not lack insightful people who can discover the real surprises of this ERP software...

Many people in the market have noticed that in addition to cost reduction and efficiency improvement, the most promising aspect of this system... is its extremely excellent compatibility!

The Hu family, who has been paying attention to Bai Yeji, is undoubtedly one of them.

The old man even revealed something. It seems that an expert evaluation team has been formed in Beijing to start a systematic evaluation of Tianshu ERP technology and test the compatibility with the domestic self-developed Xinchuang (Information Technology Application Innovation) system.

This is a highly unusual signal...

Hu Yonghua looked at Gao Yuan and said seriously.

"Actually, I came today with an order from the city, hoping to get Bai Yeji's support to help us build a government cloud with an investment of 20 million.

At that time, two regional township office systems will serve as the first batch of pilots for the government cloud to test the effectiveness of Tianshu ERP. "

"Oh?" Gao Yuan's eyes lit up.

It turns out that the other party came today and received more than one greeting gift!

If the 500 million loan just now was just a dessert, then this second meeting gift is undoubtedly a feast.

Because the national government cloud involves many administrative secrets, it generally does not purchase public cloud services. Instead, it will invite bids from enterprises to build its own private cloud to ensure data security.

However, the regional township office system builds a private cloud and is fully connected to Tianshu ERP. This is completely different from one or two enterprises and institutions purchasing their cloud ERP services.

This means that Tianshu ERP will officially enter the government's field of vision and compete with giants such as Juchang and Alibaba for the ticket to the largest domestic private cloud cake!

With the first pilot and the performance of Tianshu ERP, she believes there will be a second and third one...

Although the first batch of 20 million investments is nothing more than mosquito legs, behind it is a trillion-level super market!

only……

She was a little confused.

Although Tianshu ERP has received very good market response, its market share has been rising steadily, and it has even attracted great attention from people in the industry.

But even if the pilot is only for two township office government affairs clouds, it may not be a decision that can be made by just one mayor.

If nothing else, Hong Tianfang will definitely try his best to obstruct it.

If this matter can be passed, it means that there must be higher-level forces involved...

Could it be that someone above is going to provide benefits for this Yimiao development?

"Thank you for your trust, I will start arranging this matter immediately."

Putting aside her doubts, Gao Yuan immediately told Hu Yonghua that she would actively promote the matter and supervise it personally.

Originally, this was Bai Yeji's business, so Hu Yonghua should go and talk to Hu Yifei. However, since they bypassed his own son to find him, it was probably to avoid suspicion, so Gao Yuan made the decision and agreed on Bai Yeji's behalf.

"Hu City, you are so supportive of our company, of course we cannot fail to express it."

Gao Yuan pondered for a moment, but suddenly said.

"Huh?" Hu Yonghua, who was relieved to have completed the old man's task, was obviously stunned when he heard Gao Yuan's words.

express?

What does it mean? Could it be...

"Director Gao, public is public and private is private. I do this without any intention of asking for anything in return." Hu Yonghua said sternly.

"Haha! You misunderstood. What I said was that I wanted to place an order with the government on behalf of the group." Gao Yuan smiled.

"Place an order?" Hu Yonghua was startled.

"Yes, I would like to ask for your help to place a shipbuilding order with a shipbuilding company in the province."

"Shipbuilding order?" Hu Yonghua looked at Gao Yuan with some confusion, and then suddenly realized.

I'm afraid you got a taste of the sweetness on those eight large oil tankers not long ago. Do you want to get another vote?

"But I remember that your company just acquired 49% of the shares of Bincheng Shipyard not long ago?

If you want to build new ships, wouldn't it be better to give the order to your own company? "Hu Yonghua said puzzledly.

After all, the wealth doesn’t flow to outsiders, right?

"Haha! Our order this time is a bit large, and we are in a hurry. Bincheng Shipyard alone may not be able to accommodate it for a while."

"Ah?" Hu Yonghua was stunned.

He was previously responsible for the bailout of Bincheng Shipyard and had some understanding of its production capacity.

As far as he knows, Bincheng Shipyard has a total of eight large shipyards and can build eight large cargo ships at the same time.

Moreover, the last cheating order has just ended, and the market is also sluggish. There should still be many vacant shipyards.

Quantity a bit too much?

If there is one more high-tech person like you, so many shipyards can’t handle it?

Could it be that he wants to build some special ship?

"What ship do you want to order?" Hu Yonghua asked.

"I mainly want to buy some car roll-off wheels, container ships, LNG ships and breeding ships. The total number is about 30 ships. If there are sufficient funds in the future, I may add additional orders."

"Wha...what?"

Hu Yonghua took a deep breath.

3...30 ships?

Maybe more will be added later?

Just kidding!

That's 30 big ships! Not 30 sampans!

Even if you don’t know much about the shipping market cost, aside from the strange-sounding breeding ship, the other types are all large cargo ships, and there are even special ships such as LNG. It is conservatively estimated that the total cost of 30 ships is adequate. More than 3 billion…

I'm talking about US dollars!

That is a super large order of more than 20 billion RMB!

It would be fine if they were international ocean giants, but your job is to be technical, right?

If you don't work hard on technology, are you planning to form an ocean-going fleet to go to sea?

What's more, given the current size of the other party, let's not talk about whether there is so much cash flow...

Such heavy assets will definitely affect the development of the company, right? !

"Director Gao, are you kidding me?"

“Of course, I can’t joke about this kind of thing, our company does have a need in this regard.

Of course, there is also strength in this area. Gao Yuan smiled lightly.

Hu Yonghua's estimate is quite accurate. The current cost of a car roller is about 50 million RMB, a container ship is 500 million, and LNG is 1 billion... According to the current market price, the total cost of this order is indeed more than 20 billion RMB.

But the total cost is one thing, and the cash that comes out of it is another.

The shipbuilding cycle of these large ships often takes half a year to a year, which is a sufficient buffer period for Gao Yuan to raise enough final payment.

According to convention, the down payment ratio for shipbuilding orders is generally 20%, which is 4 billion RMB.

Moreover, the ships Gao Yuan ordered this time were all internationally accepted standard freighters, unlike the previous order from Bincheng Shipyard, which had special construction requirements and was not conducive to resale.

Even if the customer cancels the order, the shipyard can ensure that it will not lose money by reselling it.

For a standard order like this, the down payment ratio can continue to decrease.

If it is a large-scale centralized purchase order of 30 ships, the down payment ratio can continue to be negotiated. In the end, it is not impossible to place an order with a minimum advance payment of 10%...

In other words, Gao Yuan only needs to spend 2 billion to leverage this sky-high super order!

This is 10x leverage.

For ordinary people, this means a very high risk, but for the foresight Meng Lang, he only hopes that this lever can be as long as possible, long enough to allow him to leverage the future of the earth...

As for the 2 billion down payment...

Gao Yuan just received 13.6 billion from Gaosheng. In addition to the investment in large-scale projects such as the automobile production line and Guizhou cloud computing center that have been allocated, there is probably about 1.5 billion left.

Together with the 500 million that Hu Yonghua just sent, it is just enough start-up capital.

When she originally saw the plan, Gao Yuan thought she would have to wait at least a few more months, but she did not expect that the speed of fund raising was much faster than she expected.

Planning can start in advance...

She didn't know why Meng Lang was so sure of the subsequent market trend, but the investment in Bincheng Shipyard had confirmed Meng Lang's accurate prediction ability.

So faced with this somewhat crazy "advanced version" shipbuilding plan, she chose unconditional trust.

"Uh... Director Gao, although it may be offensive to say this, I was very lucky to be able to resell the previous eight oil tankers. I'm afraid this kind of thing will never happen again..."

Hu Yonghua couldn't help but swallowed and said with some difficulty.

The middlemen make the difference by taking advantage of the information gap, but the information gap cannot always exist.

In his opinion, Gao Yuan was still too young. She was dazzled by the temporary victory and actually wanted to gamble again.

And the bet this time is even bigger, that means almost all your wealth is being bet!

It is rumored that Director Gao likes to be all in. This evaluation is so correct...

"Haha! The reason why we made such a decision is not all for resale...

In short, you don't have to worry, we naturally have our strategic investment plan.

Do you think that as a businessman, I would not do unprofitable things? "

"This..." Hu Yonghua couldn't refute.

Although in terms of the process, Director Gao seems to be taking huge risks.

But in terms of results, the other party always gets the most generous rewards in the end...

The so-called high risk and high reward.

Maybe this is the world of genius, and the wisdom of mortals can only be revealed later?

After confirming that the other party was not joking, Hu Yonghua's heart started beating rapidly.

20 billion... That's a super big order of 20 billion...

Let alone a city, even if it were placed in the entire province, it would probably be able to attract one or two percentage points...

Political achievements! This is truly a great political achievement!

"What you just meant, Director Gao, is that you want me to take the lead in leading several large shipyards in the province to digest this order?" Hu Yonghua said in a dry voice.

China has three major shipbuilding bases, one of which is in the Yangtze River Delta region centered on the Magic City.

There are 30 large ships of various types, and they seem to be in a hurry. The local idle shipyards in Suzhou City may not be able to absorb them for a while, and the orders will definitely overflow outside the city.

Although the market is now showing some signs of warming, major shipowners are still in the final wait-and-see period, and shipyards are still in urgent need of orders.

Once the news spread that he has 30 shipbuilding orders...

I am afraid that several major state-owned shipbuilding companies in the province will flock here.

This is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to increase your influence and reputation...

“Yes, we have funds and technology, but we have only been established for a short period of time and do not have many human resources.

If the government can make overall arrangements and you can coordinate, I believe we can get more suitable procurement conditions.

I hope Hu City can help with this. Gao Yuan smiled.

Look! Look at this emotional intelligence.

It was obviously a big gift to myself, but it turned out to be a favor.

Why don’t you have connections? With such a big order, you don’t go to the connections, the connections rush to find you!

I thought my meeting gift was substantial enough, but it was just a 500 million loan plus a 20 million order.

Unexpectedly, it was just a 20 billion return gift.

This pattern... is more than ten times different!

I reciprocated the favor by giving him a favor, but the other person responded by reciprocating the favor with a watermelon...

I won’t even give you a chance to return the favor!

Looking at Gao Yuan, Hu Yonghua forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, feeling only extremely annoyed.

What are you worried about? What are you being reserved about?

Compared with 20 billion, Hong Tianfang is nothing!

I should have come long ago...

It's too late to meet, it's really too late to meet!
