Chapter 2698 The Earl’s new business opportunity
Seeing that Lu Fei didn't seem to have any interest in Caroline, Waiters became a little worried.
Because this was completely contrary to what he thought.
If Lu Fei likes Caroline, and if he marries her, Waiters will also be Lu Fei's father-in-law, so the favor won't be that important.
If not, why would Lu Fei help him? Lu Fei said it was a piece of cake, but it was 800 million pounds!
Since he is not coveting Caroline's beauty, Lu Fei must have other motives.
Before, Waiters was really scared by the Thomas family, but now that he couldn't guess Lu Fei's purpose, he was even more nervous.
Lu Fei tried to persuade him to relax, but it was of no use, so Lu Fei stopped talking and went straight to the topic.
"Mr. Waiters, I came to you today mainly because I want to talk to you about cooperation."
cooperate?
Hearing what Lu Fei said, Waiters's heart skipped a beat.
Although it was his first time meeting Lu Fei, he still knew a little about Lu Fei's strength.
There are so many big guys outside who are better than him, but they don't get the chance to cooperate with Lu Fei. How can this super big pie fall on his head?
As the saying goes, if there is no profit, you can't afford to be early. If he doesn't care about Caroline, then why?
Are you going to dig a hole for yourself and plot against yourself?
"What cooperation do you mean?" Waiters asked anxiously.
"Mr. Waiters, I heard that your business is planning to transform?
You started tonight's party just to find partners, right? Lu Fei asked.
Murray's work efficiency is unparalleled, and he investigated Waiters' situation clearly in a few hours.
Lu Fei's previous words to help him get out of trouble actually only helped him get rid of the entanglements and threats of the Thomas family, saved him from the Thomas family's usury interest, and restored his company's normal channels.
But his business is still not out of trouble.
The reasons for this are complex.
Waiters' business was delayed by the Thomas family for a year and a half. During this period, Waiters lost at least 300 million pounds, which was the lowest loss after receiving help from Lu Fei.
Lu Fei helped him get rid of the entanglement of the Thomas family, but he would not be stupid and spend his own money to help him recover his losses.
The direct loss of 300 million pounds is only one aspect. The greater loss is that due to the delay of this year and a half, Waiters' steel company has lost the opportunity to develop and make money.
Just a few months before Lu Fei helped him, the international steel market experienced a serious shock. The steel market, which was originally popular, had fallen to the bottom. Many
The steel tycoon has declared bankruptcy, not to mention Witters Steel Company, which has no capital backing.
To be honest, this Earl's luck is pretty damn good.
Fortunately, Waiters is relatively calm-minded and very courageous.
Seeing that the market showed no signs of recovery for the time being, he decisively declared bankruptcy, which could be regarded as stopping the bleeding.
But after more than two years of hard work, not only did he not make any money, but he also lost all his money. Waiters was very unwilling.
After the company went bankrupt, he pooled the few funds he had and prepared to change careers again.
This time, he learned the lessons from before and did not jump in. Instead, he conducted market research seriously. Until recently, he finally had a new goal, crude oil import trade and refining sales.
In Europe, the oil industry is almost monopolized by Dutch Shell. The so-called shop bullies customers. After the monopoly, Shell's operating methods with overlord clauses and relatively rubbish services made European people very dissatisfied.
In the past year or two, many small individual oil companies have emerged in various European countries. Due to their good service quality, they have been widely praised and the profits are quite good.
But these companies can only make small fuss, because their strength is not at the same level as Shell.
It's a small fight, but Shell is too lazy to pay attention to them. If it becomes a problem, it will be suppressed by Shell. This is the power of monopoly.
Because of this, it is difficult for individual oil companies to have room for development.
But Waiters thought this was his chance.
The UK is very different from other European countries, and he also has some connections here. He believes that if he finds some powerful bosses to cooperate, he can drive Shell out of the UK. If this is done, it will mean Money is rolling in!
Even if it fails, he is confident that he will be on an equal footing with Shell locally and share the cake together. Even so, he will make much more money than he did before opening a steel company.
These days, he is working hard to run this project, and many big names have expressed their reasons for participating.
Tonight, Waiters held this party to finalize cooperation.
Before the negotiations started, Lu Fei rushed over and disrupted his plan.
If just disrupting the plan was nothing, Waiters was surprised, how did Lu Fei know about this?
Lu Fei said he was ready to cooperate with him, was it also for this project?
However, this plan was very tempting to him, but compared with Lu Fei's business, it pales into insignificance.
Before the British monopoly was formed, the annual profit was only a few hundred million pounds. How could Lu Fei value this "little money"? Seeing that Lu Fei didn't seem to have any interest in Caroline, Waiters became a little worried.
Because this was completely contrary to what he thought.
