Chapter 126 All Risks Are Mine!
"Damn!"
Fuxing disassembly technical consultant Xu Zhou gnashed his teeth and looked at the half-bald, so-called expert who was talking on the screen, his heart was full of annoyance.
It's Xingyao Media again! This Xingyao Media seems to be fighting with its own Fuxing Group, right?
Just got slapped in the face, isn't it painful enough? Still jumping out?
"What's the matter that makes you so angry?"
Han Yang walked into his office, hung his coat on the hanger, and asked with a smile.
During this period, Xu Zhou's work performance has been very good, and he is considered Han Yang's right-hand man.
Turning off the screen, Xu Zhou was a little depressed: "Boss Han, that Xingyao Media has been smearing us and badmouthing us."
"It doesn't matter, we can't control what they say."
Han Yang didn't care.
Xu Zhou said quickly: "It has a great impact on us. Mr. Han, I contacted six insurance companies today to insure Fuxing No. 1, but they were all rejected. I also contacted more than 100 cargo owners, and offered a freight rate of 70% off the market price, but they all refused to let us carry it.
Only one Lushi Industrial Group agreed to let us transport it, but the total volume was too small, only a few thousand tons.
If Xingyao Media hadn't been smearing us, how could our situation be so bad?"
Han Yang still didn't care: "It's normal for a new company, a new team, and a scrapped and refurbished spacecraft not to trust us. Xingyao Media's smearing is just an excuse for others to reject us. It can only be regarded as fueling the flames, not a decisive factor."
"Then what should we do? It's been a week since we got the airworthiness certificate, and we haven't contacted any cargo... Other companies have to line up for cargo, but we don't have any."
Usually, before a new spacecraft gets its airworthiness certificate, the demand for cargo transportation is already full with the current hot Pluto cargo market.
When it comes to Fuxing No. 1 spacecraft, the situation is just the opposite.
With a ding-dong sound, a new message came to Xu Zhou's laptop. After opening it, Xu Zhou's face fell again.
"The latest news from Xingyao Media, it is reported that all major cargo owners collectively look down on the Fuxing No. 1 spacecraft, and Fuxing Group's ocean shipping business may encounter a situation where it dies before it is even started.
One cargo owner said frankly that without an insurance company to insure Fuxing No. 1, he was worried that if there was an accident with the cargo, Fuxing Group would be unable to compensate for his losses. Because there have been rumors that Fuxing Group's capital chain will be broken recently..."
He turned off the computer in annoyance, and then heard Han Yang smiling and saying: "It doesn't matter. If we can't find other cargo, we can just transport our own cargo."
Xu Zhou was stunned: "Does the Underworld Department agree?"
"No. But I changed the delivery method from delivery on Earth to delivery on Pluto."
The previous model was that Fuxing Group produced robots and textiles, and delivered them directly to the Underworld Department on Earth, and the Underworld Department found its own transportation capacity to transport them to Pluto.
Delivery on Pluto means that Han Yang would find a way to transport the goods to Pluto and then deliver them there.
The prices of the two delivery methods are naturally different. One is the FOB price, and the other is the CIF price.
The CIF price is of course higher than the FOB price. The extra part is equivalent to the freight of the Fuxing No. 1 spacecraft.
But in this way, all risks will be borne by Fuxing Group. Once the spacecraft has an accident, the Mingkai Department will not care. They only know that if you don’t deliver the goods, I can’t settle with you.
Xu Zhou’s heart immediately became heavy, like a big stone pressing on his heart.
"Don’t worry, I have confidence in our team and our spacecraft."
"This is really a gamble..."
Xu Zhou smiled bitterly.
It is indeed a gamble. A gamble involving at least more than 20 billion yuan in funds and countless lives and deaths.
The dismantling company, maintenance base, scrapped spacecraft and subsequent maintenance, as well as labor costs, totaled about 13 billion.
If Fuxing No. 1 successfully completes the transportation mission, then everything will be easy to say, and it can also prove that this investment of up to 13 billion is worth it.
If it fails, it will obviously prove that this 13 billion investment is worthless. Its value will definitely shrink by half, if not immediately.
The Fuxing-1 spacecraft has a full load of about 140,000 tons. The current cargo plan is about 2 million sets of uniforms, with a total weight of about 30,000 tons and a total price of 1.6 billion yuan.
15,000 robots, including packaging and spare parts, with a total weight of about 4,000 tons, and a total price of about 1.6 billion yuan.
Lu Yangsheng agreed to let the Fuxing-1 spacecraft carry some mechanical equipment for Han Yang's sake, with a total weight of about 3,000 tons and a value of about 200 million yuan.
The rest are some agricultural products, groceries and the like - all purchased by Fuxing Group itself, with a total price of about 300 million yuan.
The total price of the goods is 3.7 billion.
Once the spacecraft has an accident, the total price of the goods will also be lost.
Inside and outside, the loss is as high as 10 billion.
With a sudden loss of 10 billion, Fuxing will not be able to hold up immediately. Under the chain reaction, Fuxing Mall, Fuxing Intelligence, Fuxing Textile, Fuxing Casting, Fuxing Cable, Fuxing Medical, Fuxing Food, etc. will also be unable to hold on.
Once the entire group collapses, the loan of Dajiang Bank will become a bad debt.
At this moment, the fate of the entire Fuxing Group is maintained on this Fuxing No. 1 spacecraft.
Fuxing No. 1 spacecraft has now docked at the space port of the space elevator in Dajiang City. The goods produced and purchased by Fuxing Group are also transported to the ground through a special channel.
Loading is about to begin.
Boxes of textiles, robots, flour, soybeans, rice, millet, daily necessities, etc. were transported to space more than 30,000 kilometers above the surface through the space elevator, and then transferred to the cargo hold of the Fuxing No. 1 spacecraft through the corridor under the operation of many machines, and piled up neatly there.
It took almost half a month to load the cargo.
At this moment, the mass of Fuxing No. 1, which originally weighed only about 70,000 tons, has soared to more than 200,000 tons.
Water, food, fusion fuel, etc. began to be filled.
When these things are filled, the spacecraft can really set sail.
At this moment, in the office of the president of Fuxing Group, Xu Zhou ran over again: "President Han, Engineer Zhao, Engineer Li, Engineer Wang, a total of more than 30 people, collectively submitted their resignations!"
Han Yang narrowed his eyes slightly.
Xu Zhou was anxious: "More than 30 of them are all the backbone of the company! They each have a team of more than a dozen people, which adds up to hundreds of people! And they are all from the core departments! They even ignored the contract and would rather pay a fine and resign on the same day! Hundreds of people resigned collectively, this, this..."
The group stipulates that employees need to apply for resignation one month in advance, so that the company can recruit new employees and prepare for the handover.
But now, they don't even leave the company a day!
The collective resignation of hundreds of people in the core department may even lead to the suspension of the company's business. Especially at this moment, when the Fuxing 1 spacecraft is about to set sail!
