Chapter 901 The Pirate King

Yang Cheng was thinking about the issue of funds, but he didn't reply for a while, which made Bjorn very upset, and he didn't know whether it was because his price was too high or what, anyway, he was feeling uncomfortable at the moment .

Recosta also had a tense face. Yang Cheng's next words will determine whether he can board Mr. John Frederickson's big ship. It is a matter of the future, so he can't help being nervous.

At this time, a whistle on the field pulled Yang Cheng back, who had already lost his mind. It turned out that the second half of the game was about to start.

Looking back and seeing these two powerful figures in their respective territories, they couldn’t help smiling like elementary school students listening carefully, and said with a smile, “Don’t get me wrong, since I have made a decision to invest, I will definitely not break my word. Thinking about other things."

Bjorn squeezed out a smiling face, and heard Yang Cheng continue, "I can meet the funds needed by Norwegian Air. It just so happens that a team from my company is coming to London. Let them go to Norway to investigate, you know Yes, routine."

Recosta turned his head away and exhaled fiercely, his hanging heart finally fell.

Bjorn's face was a little flushed. God knows how much pressure he has been under recently. Norwegian Air is only short of money. As long as the funds are replenished, he can let go of his hands and feet.

Excitedly stretched out his hand, firmly held Yang Cheng's hand, shook it a few times, "Happy cooperation~"

Yang Cheng smiled and nodded, "Happy cooperation~"

Later on, everyone fully enjoyed the joy brought by football. The final score was fixed at 6:1. At the beginning of the second half, Coutinho knocked on the goal with a wonderful long shot. Southampton, who were three goals behind He just wanted to score a goal to save face, but unfortunately he lost sight of the other, and was completely nailed to the pillar of shame by Liverpool's counterattacks one after another.

Southampton, who lost to Anfield, didn't stay too long after the game. They went directly to the locker room to change clothes, got on the bus and left in a hurry. On the other hand, the players of the Red Army naturally don't have to worry so much at home. They can talk to the fans Carnival.

After a big victory, the fans didn't want to leave for a long time, and played a human wave game with the heroes on the field.

Yang Cheng had a panoramic view of this scene. The harmony between the fans and the club made him, the owner, extremely satisfied. Compared with the other two clubs he bought, Liverpool is undoubtedly the most pleasing.

Bjorn was envious behind him, "It would be great if I could own such a team~"

Recosta said proudly, "There is only one Liverpool in the world.

Anfield spirit can only be seen in Anfield. "

The game is over, and the Anfield stadium is still bustling with excitement. Young people in high spirits are waving their scarves and dancing, people they know and don’t know join in the carnival team one after another, and passing drivers will happily honk their horns as an accompaniment, not caring about themselves at all. stuck in traffic.

Every time there is a game, the traffic near Anfield has to undergo a huge test. This is why the team has always wanted to relocate the stadium. It is too congested.

Fortunately, the car that Recosta and Bjorn were in drove out of the VIP passage, avoided traffic through a narrow alley, and then left proudly, otherwise they would not even think about going home before 12 o'clock tonight.

And Yang Cheng didn't have to think so much. Flying in the sky is always faster than running on the ground. The helicopter landed in the middle of the court, and Yang Cheng took the helicopter back to Beihai Manor with his bodyguards and Susu.

After returning to the manor, Yang Cheng simply ate some fruit, then went directly to the study, ordered a pot of hot chocolate, and sat behind the desk to look through John Frederickson's materials. Sen prepared in advance.

The so-called knowing yourself and knowing your enemy will never end in a hundred battles. Putting aside the cooperation between Recosta and John Frederickson for the time being, it is their business, but there is no connection between Yang Cheng and the "Pirate King".

A large part of the crude oil produced by Abu and the others from the North Sea oilfield is transported by the "Pirate King" oil tanker to refineries in various places for refining, and then delivered to customers for use. To be honest, the two parties have cooperated for a long time, but They had never met before, let alone spoke.

Frederickson was once dubbed the title of "Mysterious Billionaire". The outside world knows little about him, and even some businessmen who are not of sufficient level have never heard of him.

It may be related to the fact that the "Pirate King" was born in the working class. He is low-key and introverted but still humorous. This is the common evaluation of all people who have dealt with him. He built his own shipping empire from scratch. This story has been praised by countless people.

The son of a welder in an Oslo shipyard, Frederiksen said entering shipping was a major milestone in his life. decided, “I was passionate about going around the world, and shipping was a very important industry in Norway at the time.”

At the age of 27, Frederickson started his own adventure - transporting Iraqi oil during the armed conflict between Iraq and Iraq and the outbreak of the Iran-Iraq War.

Although many people are avoiding this huge risk, Frederickson sees a huge opportunity.

He carefully weighed the possible outcomes of the Iran-Iraq conflict, and worked out a nearly perfect transportation plan with a keen mind, thus quickly accumulating his wealth.

His initial strategy was unremarkable compared with many cash-strapped but ambitious shipowners, and Fredericksen built his business on contracts to transport cargo with customers on unconventional routes.

Initially, his strategy was to always acquire cargo and buy ships cheaper than his competitors, and it was much easier to acquire control of a ship, whether by purchase or time charter, when there was a contract for the carriage of the cargo in hand.

As a young man at the time, he traveled the world at a brisk pace, in the Middle East, Singapore, Indonesia, he secured many contracts for very cost-effective cargo, after which he managed to secure contracts in Cairo, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and many others Cargo contract.

In the shipping business, cargo is king and when you show others you work hard at shipping cargo, they will give you more cargo.

Yang Cheng found from the data that John Frederickson is a businessman who values ​​the market very much, which coincides with his philosophy. The data shows that Frederickson is always looking for opportunities to ensure that he He can buy when the price is low. He will always pay attention to new ship orders, economic prospects, and look for development trends. When the market appears, he must firmly grasp it.

Here comes the important point. In the information, there is such a passage written in black and bold fonts:

In an industry notoriously bombastic, Fredrickson is careful with his words, preferring to streamline communications, whether in conversation or reviewing business, and it was an expression of his own in the face of complex shipping deals. Style is a challenge, and before researching a proposal, he has an important criterion: "I'm not interested in a deal if it can't be explained on half a page."

Seeing this, Yang Cheng couldn't help rubbing his temples, and unconsciously reached out to pick up the cup and took a sip of chocolate. The warm and sweet taste made Yang Cheng's head very clear. He knew how to deal with this "Pirate King".

The following information analyzed the "Pirate King" in detail. Apart from his cautious and capable style, he was also a gangster who dared to place bets and was very generous.

This generosity sets him apart from his competitors, as Fredrickson is more than happy to put his wealth into deals that benefit his investors and reap handsome returns with them.

"When there is extra money, we will give it back to the people who supported us." This is what Frederickson said himself. Paying dividends totaling close to $12 billion to shareholders over ten years has given him the backing of some of the world's largest and brightest shipping investors, including Fidelity, Soros and Virgin Global, all of which he owns. A close partner of the Empire.

Attached to the information is an investor's evaluation of Frederickson, saying that Frederickson's attraction lies in the fact that investors can truly become shareholders of the company.

Contrary to the disproportionate returns and shares obtained by investing in other companies, Frederickson paid himself and other shareholders the same amount of dividends per share, "Because we get the same amount of dividends per share, you will feel that you On an equal footing with him," said the investor, "he's gone way ahead of everyone else in the industry because he's a true entrepreneur and he's doing more than just running a company and you can feel that He has a passion for the industry and you can see his eyes twinkle when he discusses the shipping industry."

Yang Cheng couldn't help but sigh, why didn't he meet such a good entrepreneur? Generally speaking, there is an irreconcilable conflict between the owner of the company and the investor. This contradiction lies in the fact that the owner believes that everything in the company is created by himself, so why should others share it with him?

Since investors have made venture capital, they must ask for returns. After all, there is no free lunch in this world.

And Frederickson did a great job at this point. Not only did he make himself a huge fortune, but he also made investors satisfied. It was enough to see how powerful this person is, so he dared to bet. At the same time willing to share with others, it seems that this person has no shortcomings.

This made Yang Cheng feel a little headache while admiring him. This person is easy to deal with if he has flaws. How can he deal with him if he has no flaws?

Well, even if you don't make it right, the two parties are in the position of equal cooperation, and there must be some weaknesses exposed, otherwise, who can rest assured to cooperate with you? Integrity? That thing is worth less than **** in the capital world.
