However, Qin Yu naturally had his reasons for wanting to negotiate with the Guangdong Provincial Government.
"Dad, Second Uncle, previously, the company bought 20 ships, and their cash flow was almost dry. Now, they gritted their teeth and took out 5 million Hong Kong dollars. What if something unexpected happens?”
" That's why we have to ensure that we have sufficient cash flow. Who knows if the mainland will send their troops south after fighting Vietnam…"
Qin Yu proposed a hypothesis, which shocked Qin Shaohui and his brother.
Thinking of the current situation of the Qin Group, it seemed a little blind to buy ships to develop the shipping industry.
"Big Brother, Xiao Yu is right. We really shouldn't have paid the ransom. The Global Corporation sold the ship to us at a discount. Bao Yugang must have foreseen the decline of the shipping industry in advance.”
Qin Shaojie said nervously. After Qin Yu's guidance, he had already noticed something.
On the other hand, Qin Shaohui frowned deeply. The Qin Group's purchase of a large number of ships was of course risky. To put it bluntly, the Qin brothers were gambling.
He was betting that the shipping industry would not decline. After the Qin family obtained a large number of ships, they would be able to monopolize maritime transportation. In the future, Qin Shaohui would also be able to replace Bao Yugang as the new world's shipping king.
However, reality poured cold water on him. The Guangdong provincial government detained the fleet for ransom and wanted to suppress smuggling crimes in the future.
This caused the shipping industry to lose its former glory. If anything happened at this time, the Qin Group would really be in danger!
Qin Shaohui gripped the armrest of the wooden chair tightly. He took a deep breath and said,"
" Jack, it seems like we made a wrong bet this time. Pao Yugang was a wily man who wanted to leave the shipping industry, but we went head-first into it…"
"Dad, the most important thing now is to bring the fleet back. We can't let them stay at the Guangdong port forever. Get Second Uncle to contact the Guangdong government. I'll personally cross the river to negotiate with them.”
Since things had come to this, Qin Yu could only make a trip to Guangdong Province personally.
Hearing this, Qin Shaojie could not help but raise his eyebrows. He glanced at Qin Yu.
"Xiao Yu, I can help you contact the Guangdong Provincial Government, but I want to ask how much money you are going to bring across the river.”
"Bring money? What money? I don't need a single cent to pull the fleet back!”
Qin Yu shook his head when he mentioned the ransom, indicating that he had never thought of crossing the river with the ransom.
After hearing this, Qin Shaohui and his brother couldn't sit still anymore. Did this kid have a fever?
"Little Yu, what are you talking about? They didn't even need a single cent. At this time, the mainland government wouldn't be reasonable with them. If they didn't use a ransom, how were they going to pull the fleet back?”
Qin Shaohui was so angry that he laughed. This kid really didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.
"Xiao Yu, the other shipping companies have already paid the ransom. At most, we can bargain with the Guangdong government.”
Qin Shaojie was also a little suspicious. Could it be that Qin Yu wanted to change the attitude of the mainland government?
Qin Yu thought to himself, Do I need money for this? The Guangdong Provincial Government had made it clear that the other shipping companies had taken advantage of them, but he did not want to be the one to complain.
"Dad, Second Uncle, I'll negotiate with the Guangdong government. If we can't negotiate, it won't be too late to pay the ransom. After all, this is 5 million Hong Kong dollars!”
Now, cash flow was too important to the Qin's Group. Five million Hong Kong dollars was definitely not a small amount in 1979.
Qin Yu had never thought of obediently paying the ransom!
He just wanted to get something for nothing and even wanted the Guangdong government to pay him a sum of money!
Qin Yu's words were undoubtedly very courageous. Qin Shaohui and his brother looked at each other, and a touch of surprise flashed in their eyes.
Due to historical and ideological reasons, Xiangjiang people had always been very afraid of the mainland government. Nobody wanted to deal with the north.
The Guangdong Provincial Government demanded a ransom, and the other shipping companies obediently paid up.
Now that Qin Yu was going to negotiate alone, he had already surpassed a group of young masters from Xiangjiang City.
" Brother, Xiao Yu is the heir of the Qin Group. Isn't it too risky to cross the river alone…"
Qin Shaojie was a little hesitant. As his family was from the National Party, he did not have a good impression of the mainland.
Qin Shaohui didn't say anything after hearing that. Instead, he looked at his son and asked.
Qin Yu naturally understood the worries of his family. At this time, he had to let them rest assured.
Qin Yu sat on the chair with his legs crossed and said in a calm tone,"
"Dad, Second Uncle, the mainland is different from before. If they can invite Mai Lihao to visit Beijing, I'm sure that within a year, the mainland will definitely open up!”
"I'm crossing the river now. Firstly, I'm negotiating with the Guangdong Provincial Government about the ship's detention. Secondly, I'm setting up a good front in Guangdong Province. In the future, when the mainland opens up, the Qin Corporation will also get a share of the profits!”
In order to make his family believe in him, Qin Yu directly threw out the reform and opening up.
At the beginning of the year, the mainland officials had already discussed this topic, but no one was sure if the news was true or not.
Qin Yu deliberately put Governor MacLeod's visit to Beijing in front of them to dispel their concerns.
As expected, Qin Shaohui and his brother's expressions brightened after hearing this.
According to Qin Yu, Mai Lihao's visit to Beijing was a sign that the mainland was really going to open up its market.
At that time, whoever could get there first would be able to eat the dividends of reform and opening up!
Qin Shaohui thought for a long time and finally decided,""Xiao Yu, we've prepared the ransom in Xiangjiang, and we'll let you cross the river to Guangzhou.”
"Big Brother, Little Yu is brave and courageous. I think the negotiation is feasible. If he fails in Guangzhou, it won't be too late for us to pay the ransom.”
Qin Shaojie also agreed to let Qin Yu go to the north because the cash flow of 5 million Hong Kong dollars was indeed very important to the Qin's Group.
Qin Shaohui looked at his son carefully. Qin Yu was sitting calmly on the chair, his entire temperament calm and steady.
He did not seem to be disturbed by the family's current predicament at all, as if he already had a foolproof plan in his heart.
"Dad, Second Uncle, there's no time to lose. After contacting the Guangdong Provincial Government, I'll cross the river tonight to talk to them.”
Because of the time constraint, Qin Yu was prepared to cross the river as soon as possible after getting permission. He had been worried that the oil crisis would cause the Qin Group to go bankrupt.
