Chapter 211 Binhai Trading Company
"Mr. Lu?"
Chen Qing, wearing a ponytail, wearing a black professional dress and a brown bag on her shoulder, stood there as soon as she opened the door.
"You are here." Lu Fan nodded. He arranged for Chen Qing to see the house without any trouble. Now it was just after get off work, so Chen Qing rushed over immediately. He was both work and personal explanations. He was a very competent secretary.
"Mr. Lu, I have sorted out the cooperation details about Binhai Trading Company that you arranged before. You happen to be here. Do you need me to give it to you now?"
Chen Qing asked with a smile, and naturally turned the house care into a work report.
Lu Fan thought for a while, "Let's come in and talk."
The two of them sat face to face on the sofa in the living room. Lu Fan stared at the thick cooperation documents in his hand, and his eyes flashed from time to time.
"As the largest partner of Bei Port, Binhai Trading's annual import and export volume is about 300 million yuan. Although it is just a middleman, the annual net profit of 30 million yuan is 30 million yuan for the handling fee of 10% alone. This time, we plan to invest 100 million yuan to acquire Binhai Trading. If it operates normally, it will be a very cost-effective transaction, which is a very cost-effective transaction." Chen Qing explained.
"How could such a profitable company suddenly think of re-transfer?" Lu Fan looked at the financial bills sent by Binhai Trading. The net profits surged every year. He had no losses for a year and had no cost. He just used their resources in Beigang to contact domestic and foreign companies to import and export goods. This was simply a rootless money tree. How could the Fu family think that it was too much money and suddenly re-transferred?
"It's like this. According to the person in charge of Binhai Trading, with the expansion of sea freight in recent years, more and more professional shipping companies have emerged. These companies have closer contact with ports than them, have their own shipping and routes, and are more professional in doing things. Therefore, more and more freighters have begun to find such professional companies to cooperate with, and their customers are getting less and less. They want to take advantage of the cold winter of the industry to change hands in advance to avoid the negative financial words." Chen Qing said.
Lu Fan nodded. Compared with professional sea freighters companies, Binhai Trading, a middleman who earns the difference, used to be blocked channels and opaque news. Companies like them were needed to connect two trans-ocean trading groups. However, with the current open system, policies became more and more relaxed and information became more and more transparent. Everyone could bypass them and find the seamless connection between freight ports and freighters. There was no need for such middleman to exist.
"Since that's the case, why do we still have to take over? You said that Binhai Trading is almost out of space for survival." Lu Fan asked with a downward document.
Chen Qing smiled and explained: "Liu, who is in charge of this project, always considers this. Although the current market is no longer conducive to the survival of Binhai Commercial, as the largest real estate developer in Nandu, the amount of building materials consumed every year is astronomical. It has hundreds of building materials factories. However, with the decline in the real estate market in recent years, the number of construction sites started is gradually reduced. Many of our building materials factories are facing the risk of shutdown and bankruptcy. Tens of thousands of employees will be laid off and unemployed. We must find ways to stop all this, which will bring huge losses to the company this time."
"So? You are planning to do import and export trade." Lu Fan said.
Chen Qing looked at him in surprise and nodded, "Yes, according to our Marketing Department's investigation of the overseas building materials market, with the main reforms of Saudi Arabia and Southeast Asian countries over the years, these places are carrying out land development in a drastic manner, similar to the background of our country 30 years ago. Their largest building materials importer is my country. The building materials imported from my country each year account for more than 50% of their local area. Mr. Liu thinks this is an excellent business opportunity. We have ready-made building materials factories and qualifications, and then integrate the resources of Bin Commercial, so we can buy it as soon as possible. Since the company's profits have increased, it has also saved the risk of bankruptcy of hundreds of building materials factories under the company, killing two birds with one stone."
Lu Fan nodded. China is known as the world's largest commercial factory and is the engine of the entire international market. Taking advantage of this advantage, many traditional industries on the verge of bankruptcy have accelerated their transformation to import and export trade in recent years, making a lot of money, and their value and market value soared in one fell swoop.
Huarong has strength, funds, and factories, but it is not as mature and complete multinational trade resources. In business, time is money. Now there is ready-made coastal trade to buy, so why don’t they do it?
"Who is the person in charge of this project in Binhai?" Lu Fan asked.
"Zhao Qian, general manager of Binhai Trading Company."
