219, Acquisition of shipyard
Lawson knew that Xia Yang had just returned from Laisuo Factory.
So after the four of them sat down and sipped the fragrant Gesha coffee, they chatted for a few words before he got down to business.
"You came back from Laisuo Factory, so I believe Ed has told you. What is your opinion?"
Lawson was as direct as ever.
Xia Yang was more direct, "I believe that since Lawson has come here, you will definitely be ready to convince me of your reasons, or the benefits."
The two men were talking about business. Tessa and Blanche, mother and daughter, sat aside and chatted. Seeing how they pointed at Xia Yang from time to time, you knew that their conversation focused on Xia Yang.
Hearing Xia Yang speak so openly, Lawson smiled helplessly and pointed at Xia Yang, laughing at him for being too cunning, but he was not surprised.
After all, no one would make a big bet on a $160 million deal without any benefit.
After thinking about it, Lawson didn't say anything philanthropic about how many workers could be saved from losing their jobs by acquiring those shipyards, but directly talked about the actual benefits.
"If you acquire those two shipyards, there will be at least two advantages. The shipyards used to be military factories that manufactured warships, and they have a close relationship with the navy, so you can get orders for warships, at least with a greater chance than other private shipyards. In this way, your
Orders come from a wider range of sources.”
"Another advantage is that the shipyard used to produce warships. In order to keep it secret, a large area of land was enclosed as a military restricted area. So congratulations, the land area you own has increased a lot, from less than 100,000 square kilometers.
, of the current 120,000 square kilometers, 20,000 square kilometers are very high-quality coastal land. It also has two deep-water ports and at least 30 kilometers of beaches. In addition, there is at least 30 kilometers of coast that is 10 kilometers deep.
Two miles of wide ocean.”
"By the way, the beaches over there are very beautiful. The sand is white and the water is blue. I suggest you take Lan Qi to go diving."
Lawson winked at Xia Yang.
Blanche stared with a red face, while Tessa shook her head in amusement and helplessness!
Of course they all knew it was just a joke.
Watch the interesting interaction between the three Lawson family.
Xia Yang made his decision and said with a smile, "Mr. Lawson, I have to say that you are an excellent salesman. You successfully convinced me that I decided to acquire two shipyards."
Lawson was very pleasantly surprised and successfully sold the two shipyards.
"I am honored. Believe me, you will never regret buying two shipyards."
"Where can I pay?"
Xia Yang pretended to take out his wallet from his pocket to pay the bill. Such a funny act immediately made Tessa and Blanche burst into laughter.
What wallet can fit 160 million U.S. dollars?
The transaction was successfully concluded.
Xia Yang spent 160 million US dollars to acquire two shipyards. The benefit he got was that he could safely take out the colorful swordfish-class luxury yachts and legally register them. As for the two shipyards, well, that was incidental.
, just treat it as selling a big toy to Ed. Anyway, he earns all the money from selling the shipyard.
Lawson got more benefits. He successfully kept all the money Xia Yang earned in Sper, successfully sold two shipyards, avoiding a large number of workers from losing their jobs, and most importantly, it was fast enough, not only did he not need to pay out
A large amount of relief money can also make a lot of money.
Because there is no tax exemption for the acquisition of two shipyards this time, after Xia Yang acquires the shipyard, every ship built will have to be taxed per ship, as well as individual taxes for a large number of workers. At the same time, the various industrial chains driven by shipyard production, etc.
Well, the capital of Spur has made a lot of money.
Xia Yang and Lawson reached a deal.
What happens next is simple.
Xia Yang directly handed over the acquisition of the two shipyards to Blanche.
With trust, many things will be much easier to handle.
Lawson can be trusted, but of course it doesn't matter if he doesn't, because no matter how much he wants to deceive others, he can't deceive his own daughter.
So Blanche led an acquisition team to take action.
It only took two days for the two shipyards next to each other to be successfully acquired by Li Ao, becoming another important business of Li Ao, ship manufacturing.
The installment payment, which was a bit troublesome at first, was solved after Blanche acted coquettishly. It cost 160 million US dollars and was paid in half a year.
Of course, the main reason was the order for 1,000 Paoxiao heavy-duty trucks, which played an important role in making the Spur capital not worried about Li Ao's repayment ability.
But what Xia Yang didn't know was that the Laisuo factory was on the verge of bankruptcy, but after being acquired by him, it made hundreds of millions of dollars in just one month. This made the capital of Sperm even more determined to sell some of the capital's publicly owned factories to private individuals.
Company.
The two shipyards were successfully acquired and immediately merged into one and renamed Laisuo Shipbuilding.
On the same day, Ed couldn't wait to lead a team to the shipyard, pretending to produce colorful swordfish yachts.
He first entered the yacht market by building a super luxury yacht in the name of receiving an order from Li Ao Company.
Then in order to speed up the construction, a 100-meter-long warship hull was selected at the shipyard, and then the manufacturing workshop was sealed off, pretending to be refitting and manufacturing luxury yachts inside.
In fact, the 100-meter-long warship hull was quietly sent to another shipyard that night. Since the two captains had just merged and there was still some confusion, no one was aware of it.
The hundred-meter-long warship hull was removed, and Xia Yang could finally release the colorful Swordfish-class luxury yacht.
In order to keep the secret, an Emperor-killing warrior was specially assigned to guard it.
Naturally, the team brought by Ed was not to build yachts, but to upgrade giant equipment such as shipyard forging presses and develop steam turbines.
At the same time, confidentiality is stricter, so no one knows about their work.
This makes the outside world mistakenly think that they are manufacturing yachts.
So if you wait a little longer, you can drive out the colorful swordfish yacht openly.
"Ed, how long will it take before I can openly drive this yacht and take beauties to surf on the sea?"
In the huge workshop where the colorful swordfish yacht is stored, Xia Yang asked Ed impatiently.
There is a beautiful and cool luxury yacht in front of you but you can't drive it out. Why don't you worry?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Mr.
Send more people here to create the illusion of speeding up the work, and you can drive it out in two months at most."
Ed chuckled.
Once again, my wish came true and I got big toys from two big shipyards.
He made no secret of his flattery for Boss Xia.
"If we double the manpower, I will take it to the sea for surfing in a month."
Xia Yang was cruel and only gave Ed one month.
If it weren't for the consequences that he couldn't bear, he would have gone out on a colorful swordfish yacht long ago.
Suddenly shortening the time by twice, Ed was naturally embarrassed.
"One month is too late, so I can only add more manpower. The Laisuo factory can no longer recruit people, so I will allocate more manpower from the shipyard. Externally, I am manufacturing yachts, but in fact I am arranging them to upgrade and renovate the shipyard equipment.
It is a manufacturer of warships, so there is no problem in terms of confidentiality. As long as there is a hull, five hundred people can convert a warship into a luxury yacht in one month, which is reasonable in terms of time."
After thinking about it, Ed agreed to Xia Yang's request.
Xia Yang happily patted Ed on the shoulder, "I'm waiting for your good news. Besides, the shipyard has been sold. I don't ask for much money, but you can't make me lose money."
Xia Yang showed his true nature again, and Ed was not surprised. He smiled and said, "Mr.
We should be able to get some orders for yachts."
Bugatti's customers are naturally wealthy customers, and only they can buy big toys such as luxury yachts, and the stunning appearance of the colorful Swordfish luxury yacht should impress them to place an order.
"It's okay. I've also asked the sales department to contact some shipping companies, hoping to get some orders for large shipping ships. Technically, you should be more relaxed and don't sell yourself just for the sake of orders."
When others rush for orders, they hate that they don't have enough technology, but Xia Yang is afraid that the technology of the giant wheel created by Ed will be too good and the secret will be revealed.
Ed expressed his emotion, "Mr.
, the only flaw is that the engine and other core parts are all outsourced, resulting in a large part of the profit being taken away."
"But now that the shipyard has been acquired by us, we can make up for its shortcomings in this area. On the other hand, the shipyard is inefficient, further reducing profits, which has led to the verge of bankruptcy, because now many shipyards have begun to apply robot welding on a large scale to improve efficiency.
Efficiency and labor costs, so next, I will increase investment in this aspect."
After saying that, Ed looked at Xia Yang and asked for money to develop technology.
But this money cannot be saved.
As long as it can improve efficiency and reduce costs, Xia Yang will not hesitate.
What's more, the hot sales of Baoxiaozhe heavy-duty trucks made him see clearly that industrial manufacturing and technology are king.
Although the Xiaozhe heavy-duty truck is branded as top-notch luxury, only a fool would buy it without the excellent technology developed by Ed.

Therefore, just because of his excellent technology, he earned US$100 million in two auto shows. This shows the importance of technical strength.
"In this way, I will give you a quota of 100 million US dollars. Whether you sell the technology from outside or develop it yourself, I will improve the technology and efficiency of the shipyard as soon as possible."
Originally, Xia Yang thought that he was generous enough to throw out 100 million US dollars to support Ed's research and development, which was arrogant enough.
Unexpectedly, Aide still found it too little, "For robot research and development, US$100 million is a bit small, but it will be enough in the early stage. Later, when the shipyard makes a profit, I will apply to Mr. Xia for additional R&D funds."
Xia Yang was immediately furious.
"Let's go. I'll come to drive the yacht in a month."
