Chapter 134: Building Our Own Dock

18:27.

Near the end of the workday.

Zheng Qian and Chen Weiqiang had already returned to the company by this time.

Zhong Xiaoyao rushed over and delivered a document to Zheng Qian.

"President Zheng, President Chen, you've finally returned."

"Please take a look at this document; it might be helpful for your acquisition plan."

After flipping through the document, both Zheng Qian and Chen Weiqiang were shocked.

This was the financial status of the Shuangluo Group over the past two years.

Zheng Qian had only left that afternoon, and by the time he returned, this document had already been compiled.

The efficiency was a bit too fast.

"Xiaoyao, when you were working under me before, how come I never saw you this proactive?"

"We just got back, and the materials are already organized?"

Chen Weiqiang was still a bit jealous of Zheng Qian.

Zhong Xiaoyao smiled awkwardly, and Zheng Qian waved his hand, telling her to clock out and go home first.

Immediately after, Zheng Qian and Chen Weiqiang analyzed the financial data in detail, and the information they obtained made Chen Weiqiang ecstatic.

The data showed that for the past year and a half, Shuangluo Shipping had been in a state of loss. The bulk of the income came from docking fees, maintenance fees, and repair fees from two enterprises: Yamei Group and Zhengxin Shipyard.

In addition to this, there were some scattered cargo ships passing through Yebai that paid fees for temporary docking.

More importantly, a 200 million bank loan for Shuangluo Shipping was due at the end of the month. It was obvious that they could not afford to pay this money and could only apply for an extension, but they would have to pay high interest.

Right now, Boss Pang was probably also worrying about how to repay this loan. The only way was to sell one of the two piers, Yenan Dock or Yebei Pier, at a low price.

"Wow, this old Boss Pang is quite good at putting on airs. In this situation, he still won't do business with us."

Chen Weiqiang felt he had caught Boss Pang's weak spot.

As long as he threw this financial analysis in front of Boss Pang, he definitely wouldn't be able to keep up the act.

"President Zheng, let's go over there again tomorrow. With this analysis report, he will definitely sell."

Chen Weiqiang couldn't hide the smile on his face.

He didn't expect everything to come so naturally; truly, when you reach the mountain, there will be a road.

Zhong Xiaoyao did a really good job.

Who would have thought that Zheng Qian would shake his head at this moment.

"Not buying anymore."

"Not buying anymore?"

"Yeah, not buying anymore."

"Isn't Boss Pang acting all high and mighty? Why should I have to cater to him?"

Zheng Qian said angrily; his anger hadn't subsided yet.

"Qian'er, how about this? I'll go talk to him by myself tomorrow. You don't have to show up. How about that?" Chen Weiqiang thought Zheng Qian just didn't want to see Boss Pang.

Chen Weiqiang had this information in his hands; he could definitely negotiate a great price. Not taking advantage of a bargain would make him an idiot.

"It's not about whether I show up or not."

"How much is a pier anyway? Why do I have to look at his face?"

"Besides, we've discussed it before. Whether it's Yenan Dock or Yebei Pier, the location of the piers isn't very good."

"Why don't we just build a Yedong Pier?"

"Building a pier is a once-and-for-all solution, and we can even reclaim land later."

"Isn't he so full of himself? Let's not build it too far away; let's build it right in Boss Pang's face and see what he does then."

There were only two shipping enterprises in Yenan and Yebai. Yamei Group was already in his pocket. Once the Yedong Pier was built, Boss Pang would only be able to collect some passing tolls in the future.

Zheng Qian spoke in a light and airy tone, as if this matter was something he could accomplish just by saying the word.

However, Zheng Qian's idea did indeed jump out of the traditional business war model and was very bold.

If the Yedong Pier were built, then Qianhe Group would truly have a complete, self-produced, self-sold, and self-operated chain, even having built its own pier.

This kind of ecosystem was something one wouldn't dare to imagine without massive capital.

Only Zheng Qian would dare to have such a thought.

Action followed thought. The next day, Chen Weiqiang began to report to the Maritime Management Bureau to request land, contacted acquaintances in various industries, and began planning and preparing.

A few days later, Boss Pang, who learned of this news, panicked a little.

"You're not joking with me, are you?" Boss Pang was anxious and eager to confirm the authenticity of the news. "Can the Maritime Management Bureau be that efficient? Does Zhengxin have some connections in there?"

As far as he knew, it would take at least half a month for the Maritime Management Bureau to approve land, and it wasn't even certain it would be approved.

They were already starting with such a big fanfare?

"It's true, Boss Pang, I saw it with my own eyes."

"Although the Maritime Management Bureau hasn't approved the land for Zhengxin yet, those building materials have already been unloaded nearby. There are also many construction engineers at the site surveying the terrain. It is said that the blueprints are already out."

"Damn it!" Boss Pang cursed in frustration. "Do you know which piece of land Zhengxin chose?"

"It seems to be in Yedong, not far from our Yebei Pier, just a few dozen miles away by car." The secretary thought for a moment and replied.

Yedong?

The geographical location of Yedong was excellent. Once built, the efficiency of incoming and outgoing ships would be higher than his two piers combined.

Back then, Yedong was a key project, but when he applied for it, it wasn't approved because Yedong was planned as a key project.

But later, the developer ran away, and Yedong became a mess. The entire focus of Yezhou was placed on Yebai.

The current Yedong was a burden. It was said that the leadership team of Yezhou was about to change, and they were in urgent need of achievements.

If Zhengxin applied for Yedong, it would be 200% approved; there was no need to even think about it.

Boss Pang originally suspected that this was a smokescreen thrown by Zhengxin. As long as Zhengxin had money, the Yedong Pier could definitely be built.

In this way, his two piers would become worthless decorations.

"Boss Pang, at the end of this month, we have to repay that loan to the Yebei Bank. We have been in a state of loss for the past year and a half, and we have already applied for two extensions. The bank probably won't give us another extension. You have to find a way."

"I know, I know. I know better than you. You don't have to remind me every day. Saying it every day, isn't it annoying?"

Boss Pang was very angry now, and he vented all his anger on the secretary.

"Boss Pang, I have one more thing to report to you."

"Spit it out!"

The secretary told Boss Pang the result of the price war between Zhengxin Shipyard and Yamei Group.

Boss Pang was so scared that he fell right off his chair.

Yamei Group was beaten so badly by a small Zhengxin Shipyard?

Even Elder Hu had come forward personally?

And he even knelt to Zheng Qian?

Boss Pang was so scared that he fell right off his chair.

The previous situation was that Yamei Group had won, right? How could Zhengxin Shipyard have an absolute advantage now?

"According to reliable sources, Zhengxin suddenly raised 300 million in financing, and this money directly crushed Yamei Group."

Boss Pang had just questioned whether Zhengxin had enough money to build a pier while facing a price war.

Now it seemed, there was no need to doubt.

They definitely had it!

No, he couldn't sit and wait for death like this.

"Prepare the car immediately, go to Zhengxin Shipyard!"
