Chapter 385 Rewards and Punishments
If you really say it, buying an aircraft carrier privately is a new thing after all. After all, there are many people who have been in service for more than 50 years, so every retired aircraft carrier is really famous and well-documented. It is also an extremely exciting thing to be able to catch up with the private sale of aircraft carriers and participate in it.
"I don't know Mr. Edward, do you know the Varyag?" Zhang Yang asked.
"Varyag? The Soviet Navy's Marshal Kuznetsov-level sub-ship? Wasn't that ship already sold to China?" Edward was puzzled.
"That's right, our country has bought the Varyag ship for 10 years, and it has been 4 years since it was scientifically researched and transformed. I feel that the time is over. I will be launched next year, install it one year, and test sailing one year. It is estimated that this aircraft carrier will be put into service in three or two years. By then, she will be China's first aircraft carrier."
"Mr. Zhang Yang, you probably have a problem." Edward shook his head: "After the aircraft carrier is launched, it will be equipped for at least two years and the trial flight will be at least two years. You probably have a little problem."
"Mr. Edward, you need to understand China's speed." Zhang Yang laughed.
"Okay, China's speed is indeed a miracle in the history of world architecture." Edward nodded helplessly.
Zhang Yang looked at Edward with a smile on his face: "Mr. Edward, what kind of aircraft carrier craze do you think will arise in China by then? Then such an aircraft carrier museum will appear in China. Mr. Edward, what do you think of a ticket of $10 per ticket?"
"Conscience price." Edward nodded: "The Midway Island is all $20 per adult ticket."
"Ah, it's a pity that you can't sell it so expensive. After all, the aircraft carrier I bought has never made any contribution to my country. You can't sell your feelings. There is no way to get half the cheaper." Zhang Yang sighed and smiled: "So, all this depends on your company."
"Mr. Zhang Yang, please tell me." Edward signaled Zhang Yang to continue. Edward had already understood the purpose of Zhang Yang's search for their company, but the specific plan still needs to listen to Zhang Yang's opinions, and then their company will make adjustments according to the actual situation.
"When I came to your company, I told the front desk lady that I brought you a $10 million deal." Zhang Yang smiled and said, "This is how I cooperate with your company. Today is March 30, not April Fool's Day, so please don't regard what I said as a joke."
Zhang Yang took out a bank card from his wallet and put it on the table, and smiled and said, "There is 10 million US dollars in it, which is the operating capital of your company. Our cooperation starts today and lasts for two months. If your company can complete our cooperation within 60 days, that is, before 23:59 pm on May 28, let me sign a contract with the US military and make a retired aircraft carrier my private property, then except for the fees I paid to the US Navy to purchase the aircraft carrier, the rest is your company's commission."
"Ten million." Edward raised his eyebrows and looked at the bank card on the table with a scorching look.
"Mr. Edward, in order to make this money, I have also learned about the selling price of retired aircraft carriers. After purchase, I will no longer be re-invested, remove confidential equipment, and sell it at the price of scrap iron. An aircraft carrier is roughly between $5 million and $6 million in tonnage. But this price is fluctuating after all. I am not an insider in your circle. I am just a businessman engaged in the blue ocean, so I don't plan to participate in it. I will not ask your company how much it costs to buy this aircraft carrier. Even if the US government pays for it and sells it to your company, it has nothing to do with me. I just want to see the aircraft carrier come to my hands before May 28."
Zhang Yang said, then took out a bank card from his wallet and put it next to the 10 million just now.
"Mr. Edward, this bank card contains $6 million, which is also some of the first prizes I added in this cooperation. I will deduct $100,000 from this bank card every day. After 60 days, there will be only a few hundred dollars of interest left in this bank card." Zhang Yang smiled: "I mean, if your company can complete the task early, you can get an unknown amount of reward in the unplanned plan."
"The specific amount depends on our own abilities." Edward nodded.
"That's right, if you have the ability, you can take away all the six million yuan. If you don't have the ability, you can only stare at the money in a daze." Zhang Yang nodded.
"It's really exciting. I want to do something big." Edward smiled: "However, since Mr. Zhang Yang has a reward mechanism, then I guess the corresponding punishment mechanism must have been planned."
"Oh? Haha, Mr. Edward is indeed the highest person in charge of your company's office in the US Capital. You guessed it right. Indeed, I also had some ideas about the punishment mechanism." Zhang Yang nodded.
"Please speak." Edward made a gesture, indicating that he would listen carefully.
"Haha." Zhang Yang smiled: "Mr. Edward, the punishment mechanism is like this. The final delivery time we agreed on is May 28, and in the penalty clause, I will extend your company to 15th on this time. After 15th, that is, June 12th, if your company still fails to complete our cooperation as required on that day, then I can only express sorry that your company will not be able to pay for this cooperation. Of course, I will still pay as usual for the cost of purchasing an aircraft carrier, but the price I mentioned refers to the price within the market price. The extra part needs to be paid for."
Edward raised his eyebrows and was roughly calculating in his heart.
"After all, the cost of buying an aircraft carrier is a small end. Asking a tow company tow to China is the big end that consumes time and money. And I also need to find someone to renovate and renovate the aircraft carrier, and apply for a license and location for the museum. After all, time does not wait for anyone." Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Mr. Edward, what do you think of this proposal?"
"…To be fair, this is a very risky gamble." Edward sighed: "After all, buying a retired aircraft carrier is not buying a pack of m&m. There are many details that need to be sat down and negotiated slowly, such as high-tech on the aircraft carrier that is still in the confidentiality stage."
"Where is no risky when doing business? When we did Blue Ocean, we were not gambling? Mr. Edward said that this was meaningless." Zhang Yang shook his head: "With the ability, Mr. Edward used the sixteen million dollars to find his own connections. If he had no ability, I would take the money to find another company."
