Chapter 96 50% management fee
"Wang, Mr. Wang, isn't the management fee 50% too much?" asked a white-haired old stick carefully.
This guy is a ship owner, with five ocean-going oil tankers, three 100,000 tons and two 200,000 tons. He can be regarded as a heavyweight merchant in the country. Unfortunately, facing Wang Yue now, he is like a lamb tied with four legs. He can only bleat twice while raising his butcher knife to try to get a hint of pity.
At this time, the owners of the ship were almost forced to a dead end. They went out to transport oil. Maybe one day they would even be buried in the fish's belly with the boat. If they didn't go out to transport oil, the Bangzi government also held a butcher knife behind them to check taxes and illegal records. In short, if they didn't go out to transport crude oil back, they would go to prison directly.
Now the governments of Japan and Bangzi are going crazy. Whether they risk their lives or not, or wherever they do, they must transport crude oil back. Before, because both countries had certain crude oil reserves, they would not be so crazy despite insufficient supply. However, the crude oil reserves had been exhausted for so long. After a trans-Pacific route was pinched, the economy would collapse in less than a month.
Although there is still supply from the Lucians, Lucia's export volume of tens of millions of tons from the Far East that year could not meet even a country of Rod, let alone Japan.
But how could these shipowners have the courage to go out?
Yesterday another kangzi-based oil tanker was sunk, and less than five kilometers away from the Golden Gate Bridge, the extremely fast strange fish rushed through the defense line of the US Coast Guard at a speed of nearly 200 knots, put a ton of audio mine held in his mouth on the route less than fifty meters away from the tanker, and then left amid the explosion of the deep-water bomb dropped by the Orion anti-submarine aircraft that had just arrived.
One hundred meters, three hundred meters long tankers are completely unavoidable, not to mention that this is not a tentacle mine but a sound mine, which can explode without hitting directly.
The poor rods didn't know that the Lucians who were constantly exporting oil to them had just sank a large fishing boat a thousand kilometers away from San Francisco. In order to facilitate his allies, the considerate Emperor Puda specially sent a hundred sound mines that imitated the German-made sound system during World War II.
At present, Ersha was lying comfortably in the wreckage ship, like a kindergarten aunt who sent candies, distributing mines to Yinying one by one. This thing is only effective for ships above 500 tons, and even if Yinying is held in her mouth, it will not detonate.
The unlucky rod tanker became the first victim of this thing. Fortunately, it only exploded a big hole. Although it was sunk outside San Francisco, because the US rescue work was relatively timely, the leaked crude oil was finally blocked at the cost of the glorious sacrifice of two divers, and less than two thousand tons poured into the San Francisco Bay.
But even so, it caused great panic among the people in California. People from all over California gathered in San Francisco and blocked the port of San Francisco with fishing boats and private yachts. They refused to allow any oil tankers to leave the port here again. Similarly, the two ports, Los Angeles and San Diego, were blocked by protesters. All the tankers that were originally heading north along the American coastline to move north to San Francisco to transfer to the escort route were stranded in Mexico.
Even the domestic public opinion of the US empire is now supporting the practices of the California people, demanding that the government suspend dangerous crude oil transportation. These crude oils are not used domestically. Why should the US empire bear the risk of crude oil pollution for the sake of Japan and the Bangzi economy?
As for what to do if Japan and Bangzi don’t have crude oil, what’s the matter with this people of the American Empire? They are not short of oil.
In this case, Wang Yue's path became a life-saving straw for these shipowners. In fact, it was also a life-saving straw for Japan and Bangzi. Everyone knew the relationship between the Chinese and the Atlantis. In the Battle of Annan, the Atlantis did not hesitate to dispatch royal servants to rescue him. What it means to open a shipping company now can understand if he has a brain.
But this is 50% management fee...
This is really too much. This is not 50% of the profit, but 50% of the freight. This means that the normal freight price must be doubled to be specially given to Longteng Shipping as a protection fee.
"This price is very reasonable. It has been specially verified and calculated by experts and accountants. How could it be higher? Besides, the freight is not your pricing, so why do you care about so much? Don't think that if you charge too much, you won't make any profitable money. It's just setting the freight higher. How much is your normal profitable freight? Now double it directly, how much should you make and how much should you make, and the company won't get a penny from you." Wang Yue said dissatisfied.
The old stick smiled bitterly.
You don't take a penny from us, you're from our entire country and nation. Oh, no, it should be half of the nation, and that half of the nation is colluding with him.
However, his patriotism is limited to this. As Wang Yue said, they are not paying money. Anyway, the concept of national and ethnicity is just that for these rich people. If they really don’t work, they will transfer their nationality to China, so there will be no psychological burden at all.
The two owners of the rod ship made up their minds and signed a contract with Longteng Shipping very happily, becoming the first member of the company. Longteng Shipping, which originally had no oil tanker, had eight oil tankers at once. Then the tankers rushed from the first island chain to the Persian Gulf, and filled nearly one million tons of crude oil in the port of Khomeini in Persia according to the company's arrangements.
There was no interception along the way, and even protected by Chinese naval warships. When these eight tankers entered Incheon Port, the domestic refineries in Bangzi were almost crying with joy.
As for their frighteningly high shipping charges...
Do the refineries in Bangzi have any choice? Either they stop production or they use Longteng Shipping. In the end, they are not paying for money. The high cost is nothing more than continuing to transfer to the entire Bangzi national economy.
Besides, even with such a high freight, it is actually lower than the crude oil delivered by the trans-Pacific route, and is even cheaper than the Lucia crude oil sold to them by the black-hearted price. This has to be said that Emperor Pu is really bad!
(Thanks to the book friend Mask Angel 555, amateur & knowledgeable rewards, and from tomorrow until next weekend, because there is something at home, it will be temporarily changed to one chapter every day, and two updates will be restored from next week. It is estimated that there will be no less than two updates and six thousand words a day without special circumstances. Old book friend should be very clear about this point, and there were basically no interruptions last year.
I apologize again to my friends who have been following me.
In addition, next week, I don’t have to ask for Sanjiang tickets in this situation. Everyone can give it if you want!)
Chapter completed!
