I am farming in the real world.

Chapter 241: Wonders can ruin a country! Mr. Chen!
When Ji Xian heard the high standard of treatment proposed by Chen Jue, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Not to mention the 2% commission from selling ships, the 24-hour all-round security team alone is invaluable in Africa.

After all, no matter how much money you make, you still need to survive to spend it in some chaotic places in Africa.

In addition, when Ji Xian was waiting in the guard room at the gate of the Rubik's Cube Factory just now, he saw with his own eyes those tall and strong iron puppet security guards.

He was a young man with guns who had been hanging out in Africa for many years, but he believed that he could not beat any of the security guards from the Magic Cube Group.

If we can have such security forces, not to mention that safety can be 100% guaranteed in a very special place, it will be very impressive even if we just take it out to support the scene.

When the time comes, we can go to Africa to discuss business with the bigwigs of the local chamber of commerce. With the support of the Magic Cube Group behind us, we can also make the other party consider our own strength.

So after communicating with Chen Jue for nearly an hour and finalizing some details of the cooperation, Ji Xian immediately agreed to the underwriting contract for the second-hand ships with a total tonnage of 1 million tons.

Of course, the size of a second-hand ship of 100 million tons is huge in the eyes of ordinary people.

After all, an active aircraft carrier is only about 8 tons, which is equivalent to the weight of 12 aircraft carriers.

However, in the face of the huge domestic ship market, this tonnage is just a drop in the bucket.

Take the information that Chen Jue learned from Manager Zhang of Hongyu Ship Brokerage Company when he did several second-hand ship refurbishment businesses in order to transport MC soybeans.

The domestic shipbuilding business has achieved rapid development in recent years, ranking first in the world with an annual launching capacity of 4000 million tons.

Stimulated by such large-scale new shipbuilding, the scrapping or decommissioning of second-hand ships in the shipping industry is also in full swing.

Every year, more than 800 old ships are scrapped, with a total tonnage of more than 3000 million tons.

Because according to the rigid domestic regulations on old ships, ships of categories one to five must undergo regular inspections after 18 to 29 years of service, and must be compulsorily scrapped after 25 to 34 years of service.

虽说报废时会提供每吨1500—3200元/总吨予以补贴。就拿2000吨级的海船而言，服役满30年后拉去强制报废最多到手5、600万的现金。

However, if a ship is refurbished and sold as a second-hand ship in Africa or other regions with backward shipbuilding industries, it can be sold for at least 800 million or even tens of millions.

After all, some backward areas in Asia, Africa and Latin America do not have such strict mandatory scrapping standards as in China.

In waters with no industrial base, such as Bangladesh and some parts of Africa, there are still old ships built in the early 18th century operating.

In the eyes of sailors in underdeveloped areas, as long as the hull is not rotten and the engine can still run, it is possible for a ship to run for hundreds of years after being repaired!

You can imagine how huge the supply and demand here is.

Of course, the biggest difficulty in selling old boats to poor places is getting the money back.

Don't think that the black uncles in Africa are begging for food while sitting on a mountain of gold. In fact, in terms of business credibility, the black uncles are not as good as the Indians.

A large number of domestic giant companies went to Africa to open mines and invested in various infrastructure projects. After decades of hard work, they finally saw some improvement in more developed regions such as Rwanda and South Africa.

In countries like the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Angola, where Ji Xian stayed, there were tribal conflicts every few days and warlords came to power and staged coups.

Anyone who goes to these places to invest without any financial background is basically throwing money into a black hole.

Forget about spending money to listen to the sound, even people will be sucked in.

However, the more chaotic the place, the more opportunities there are.

In addition, Chen Jue has the MC system and the super bodyguard service provided by the Iron Golems, so he thought about expanding his business to Africa. "There are a lot of underground minerals in Africa."

"Especially copper mines. Several world-class copper mines are in Africa. For example, the largest high-grade Kamoa-Kakula copper mine seems to be in the southern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We will have to develop new energy vehicle industry in the future, and copper is indispensable." Chen Jue watched the ambitious old Ji and his son leave, and he had a clear idea and direction in his mind about the next area for Iron Golem mining.

……

After finalizing the second-hand ship export underwriting agreement with Lao Ji and his son.

Chen Jue began to instruct the purchasing department of the Magic Cube Group to cast a wide net to contact second-hand ship suppliers in coastal areas.

Whether it is a fishing boat, a transport ship or a bulk carrier, all old ships that are close to being scrapped will be taken in.

According to the current domestic market conditions, an old ship with a displacement of 100 million tons is only worth 10 billion yuan at most.

Originally, Chen Jue himself would never look down upon this kind of "small order" business.

If he wasn't heading for the mine in Africa, he wouldn't even want to get involved in this kind of middleman business.

After all, they had received a lot of big orders at the Robot Conference. Several major workshops in the Rubik's Cube Factory were already working in three shifts to rush the production of the Rubik's Cube arms and subsequent Flying Rubik's Cube orders.

At this time, a lot of old ship refurbishment business came in.

Even if the MC system gave Chen Juezhao another 100 iron golems to reinforce his manpower, it might not be enough.

"Forget it, no matter how small a mosquito leg is, it's still meat."

"We'll make at least several hundred million in profit from this deal. Let's just consider it as training the group's internal personnel." Chen Jue thought to himself.

After giving instructions to the purchasing department, he asked the infrastructure department to come up with an expansion plan for the Rubik's Cube Factory.

Because the factory will receive a large number of old ships for refurbishment, as well as large orders for hundreds of Flying Cubes, the original 200×200-meter dock workshop is already a bit crowded.

In addition, with the continued growth of the future Rubik's Cube Group's businesses in the fields of machinery, construction, aviation, and automobile manufacturing, Chen Jue simply decided to put an end to it once and for all.

The original cube Rubik's Cube Factory, which had a side length of 200 meters, was expanded to a size that was four times larger than the original one.

Anyway, MC prefabricated materials + cubic shapes are used for superposition, and the expansion can be completed within 2 months.

As long as it can be completed before the Spring Festival, a world-class landmark building will be erected at the mouth of the Feiyun River in Rui County.

After all, the tallest building on earth currently, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, is only 828 meters high.

Chen Jue's super Rubik's Cube Factory has a floor height of 800 meters and an internal volume of 5.12 million cubic meters. In terms of space alone, it is much larger than some medium-sized industrial parks.

In this way, whether it is solving the subsequent dock berthing space or working at full capacity to produce flagship products such as the Rubik's Cube Arm and Flying Rubik's Cube, we will have the confidence.

It was just that Chen Jue had just sent the sketch of the expansion plan he had hand-drawn on A4 paper to the group’s big group, when a black question mark emoticon package similar to "???" popped up on the screen.

Even Feng Zhiqiang, the director of Binhai Industrial Park, who often appears in the group and has been stationed in the park to serve the Magic Cube Group, immediately asked: "800 meters high? Covering an area of ​​64 square meters?"

"Mr. Chen, are you sure this plan is not a joke?"
