Fang Daddy is in hand, I have the world

Chapter 437 Earning more and earning less depends on your ability, how about it! [Continue to the fourth update, the first update]

After listening to Sam's words, Gao Jin frowned and said, "Sam, taking over the weapons company will not benefit me at all. On the contrary, many weapon companies will regard me as a new danger."

"With the research and development strength of Protoss Group, it will take less than two years to complete the technological upgrade."

Sam rubbed his temples and glanced at Gao Jin. Although Gao Jin was young, he was not easy to fool around.

"Gao, it is absolutely impossible for a Chinese company to acquire a European arms company"

"Owning a weapons company means becoming a member of our European arms dealer circle, and you can cooperate more closely with European countries. Correspondingly, you will get a lot of hidden benefits."

After Sam finished speaking, he glanced at Gao Jin meaningfully. The meaning was very clear. You need to understand what it means for you to own a weapon company in Europe.

Gao Jin thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Sam, this is of no real benefit to me."

"If my guess is correct, the branch of your Italian arms company has a lot of employees, and the salary you pay every month is not a small sum."

"It is difficult to make ends meet with conventional arms sales alone"

"Sales of submarines are declining. I'm afraid I won't be able to get an order for a year. This department might as well not exist"

"Together, I lose a sum of money every month"

"The harvest is not directly proportional to the effort. Instead of this, I might as well spend a little more money to support a few members of Congress in various countries."

After Gao Jin finished speaking, he spread his hands and expressed his meaning clearly. It's just this hidden benefit that doesn't appeal to me.

After hearing this, Sacco understood in his heart that it would be impossible not to come up with something substantive. "Gao, after you take over, I guarantee you can get an order for three submarines."

"The price of each ship is 8000 million euros, how?"

"Sam, the cost of a conventional submarine is around 8000 million to 9000 million, and the selling price is basically more than [-] million."

"Do you think I can make money at the price of 8000 million?"

Gao Jin unceremoniously pointed out the problem, and Sam took a sip of the juice with a smile.

"High, you are profitable"

"It's just that the profit is not much. The cost of these three submarines only needs to be about 7000 million. Your net profit for each one should not be less than 500 million euros."

"Also, if you make a deal with us, we'll do PR for the event"

"Let the Italian side give arms companies a three-year tax exemption policy"

"You know how much the three-year tax holiday is. This is our greatest sincerity. Think about it."

Sam has played his hole cards, and now it depends on whether Gao Jin accepts it. If Gao Jin does not accept it, he can only find another good buyer.

"Let me think about it, and I'll give you an answer in a few days." Gao Jin said this with a thoughtful expression, Sam secretly heaved a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't explicitly refuse.

"Okay, I'll wait for your call"

After Sam finished speaking, he picked up the juice, and Gao Jin also picked up his own juice glass to touch Sam's glass, and the two took a sip each.

After talking about the business, the next thing is to chat with each other. They also had a meal together at noon. After the meal, the two sides shook hands and separated.

When Gao Jin returned to the manor, he called Hydehill and asked Hydehill to investigate the affairs of the French arms group's Italian branch, and at the same time told him everything Sam had talked to him.

"Don't worry, boss, there will be a detailed report within a few days," Hyde Hill said with certainty.

When investigating a company, Hydehill has its own channels, through which it is easy to obtain detailed information on a certain company. Of course, these are all from small companies, and there is definitely no information on large companies.

There is a special person in charge of this type of investigation, and Ann finally collects money. If you investigate it in one day, it will be so much money, and if you investigate it in ten days, it will still be so much money.

To reduce costs, you must increase your productivity.

"OK, investigate carefully, including the number of employees, equipment status, and external arrears, etc." Gao Jin urged.

"Boss, you don't really plan to buy a weapons company, do you? The sales of conventional weapons in the international weapons market are very mediocre now," Hydehill reminded.

"I know, let's investigate clearly first." Gao Jin gave an ambiguous answer.

The two chatted for a while, then hung up the phone, and the next thing was to wait for news.

Five days passed slowly, and Hyde Hill sent the report to Gao Jin's mailbox, and Gao Jin came to browse it with a tablet computer under the shade of the manor tree in the afternoon.

Trident Submarine Industries, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the French Surface Weapons Group, has a history of more than 40 years.

It used to be brilliant for a while, especially the sales of conventional submarines, which were very hot.

As the world becomes more and more peaceful, the sales of submarines have begun to decline. Many countries maintain their submarines and barely use them, but do not buy new submarines.

Anyway, there is no need to run far, it is enough for offshore defense.

In order to save himself, he soon obtained a license for the production and sales of conventional weapons in Italy and a license for the production and sales of conventional weapons in the European Union.

With this additional business, we weighed some more years.

In the past four years, Trident Submarine Industries has been losing money, with an annual loss of more than 400 million euros.

There are more than 600 employees, and the equipment is seriously outdated. Basically, it belongs to the equipment produced in the 80s. For more than 20 years, these equipments have more or less problems.

It is estimated that all the equipment will be replaced once, and an investment of [-] million to [-] billion euros will be required.

There are many scattered items at the end of the report. After reading the report, Gao Jin frowned. It is very troublesome to acquire this company. It would be easier to establish a new company.

There is also a positive side. The European Union Arms Industry License and the Italian Arms Industry License were replaced only last year and are valid for ten years.

Now, even if it is a local European company, if you want to obtain this kind of license, you need to go through layers of approvals. If you don’t have more than two years, don’t expect to get a formal license.

Even if your own government approves, those arms group companies within the EU will not allow you to join easily, and one more company will have one more competitor.

It will definitely try to create trouble and reduce the existence of competitors.

So, this license is very valuable.

Another advantage is that the headquarters and factory of Trident Submarine Industries are located in RNY, which has its own independent port.

There are only more than 1000 people in the whole enterprise, but the area is not small at all.

"Protoss, why did you stop me from rejecting Sam's proposal?" Gao Jin asked this sentence in his mind.

"Commander, the competition in space in the future is about strength and force"

"With a weapons company in your hands, you can carry out weapons research and development in an open and aboveboard manner. Space weapons will become the mainstream of the development of the weapons industry."

"If the commander doesn't want to go into space, the acquisition can be foregone."

Protoss fell silent after finishing speaking, too lazy to communicate with a white neck like Gao Jin, if you want to stand at the top of the pyramid, force is the only existence you can rely on.

Everything else is secondary, it's really stupid to not understand this, Protoss secretly despised Gao Jin.

Gao Jin curled his lips, already feeling the disdain of the protoss, and it's not the protoss' fault.

It is because my mind has not grown to this level.

After thinking for a while, Gao Jin took out the phone and called out Sam's phone and started calling, chatted for a while and hung up.

Time passed slowly, Joanna and Zhou Zongyan ate together for dinner, Gao went in and out, they didn't care, chatting and laughing very freely.

Sometimes the two have an illusion that having a good sister by their side is also a good choice. Once they get angry with Gao Jin, there is still someone to help them clean up Gao Jin.

A barbecue restaurant next to the beach, Gao Jin and Sam were drinking beer and eating barbecue, discussing the matter of the Trident Submarine Industry Company.

"Sam, the price of [-] million euros will not be accepted"

"My people have done some research, and it takes five to one billion euros just to upgrade the equipment, plus the salaries of more than 1000 employees, which is a big burden"

Gao Jin said this unceremoniously. If the French ground weapons group killed the price, Gao Jin decided to give up the project.

"Gao, don't forget, we still have an order for three submarines for you"

"You are profitable"

Sam immediately replied that it is a little bit to fight for, and now is not the time to make a bargain.

"5000 million euros, the price is not low"

"You can get rid of your burdens, and I can also go into battle lightly," Gao Jin said, shaking his beer glass.

"Gao, I admire your shamelessness, the land of the Trident submarine craft is more than this price"

"I can personally decide to give you a discount, 5000 million. This price is a very reasonable price."

Sam lowered the price by 5000 million. Come on little by little. There is always a price acceptable to both parties.

The two were not in a hurry while drinking beer and eating barbecue. You said something, and I said something, and slowly bargained. After half an hour, the two looked at each other and smiled.

"High, 6000 million euros, this is the final bottom line. If you don't agree to this price, I can only apologize." Sam took out his hole card. This price is the lowest bottom line determined by the board of directors, which is lower than this price Not for sale.

"I have a plan, listen to it"

"I believe that you know my details, and you must also know my record in the financial market. Sell it to me for 5000 million euros, and I will take you to play once."

"How do I operate, you can send people to follow, you don't care if you follow me, as long as the action ends and my account is making money, it means that I have completed the contract"

"How much you earn depends on your ability, how about it!"

Gao Jin smiled and said a plan, Sam hesitated, Gao Jin was eating barbecue and drinking beer so as not to disturb Sam's thinking.

After a while Sam said "what time exactly"

"I can only say within one year, starting from the date we signed the contract, if I don't act within one year, it will be calculated at the price of 6000 million, and I will make up for the difference."

"If you don't follow me within a year, I'm sorry, you gave up this right yourself, and it has nothing to do with me."

"Although you have received less for the time being, you can get more in the future"

"It's up to you whether you bet or not"

When Gao Jin said this with a smile, Sam began to struggle.

"I can't give you an answer for the time being. I will return to France after my vacation the day after tomorrow. We need to convene a board of directors to decide this matter." Sam watched Gao Jin say these words.

"It doesn't matter, just give me an answer within a week"

After Gao Jin finished speaking, he raised his beer glass, Sam nodded and raised his glass to touch Gao Jin's glass, and the two drained the beer in their glasses respectively.
