I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

In mid-October, Cheung Kong issued an announcement:

[Cheung Kong Enterprises spent HK$57.2 million to purchase 1.1 million square feet of Changshi Real Estate, a total of 9 residential lands; and decided to develop three of the lands at the same time and build them into residential communities... If the shareholders have Any comments, welcome to ask! 】

The relationship between Cheung Kong Real Estate and Cheung Kong Industrial was soon revealed!

The citizens suddenly realized that it was 'Shark Dan Yao' who turned his left hand to his right!

The Kowloon Stock Exchange responded the fastest, and carried out the investigation of Cheung Kong Industrial Co., Ltd. at the fastest speed, and announced it to the majority of shareholders.

[Announcement from the Kowloon Stock Exchange: After investigation, the market price of the nine pieces of land of Cheung Kong Real Estate will not be lower than 52 Hong Kong dollars per square foot, and the total area of ​​the nine pieces of land is 1.113 million square feet. 】

The implication is that this transaction is reasonable, reasonable, and legal!

Of course, the Kowloon Stock Exchange is not the only one investigating this matter, but also the media, industry figures, competitors, and Hong Kong government departments have all conducted investigations.

There is no reason left for everyone, the reputation of "Shark Dan Yao" in business has been affirmed again!

And in terms of price, 'Shark Gallbladder' even took care of Cheung Kong!

It just makes everyone wonder why 'Shark Gallbladder' didn't buy the land from Cheung Kong Industrial in the first place?

Some media went to Macau to interview the two shareholders, the results are self-evident, the truth is revealed!

People on Hong Kong Island have to admire Wu Guangyao's prediction of the situation!

.........

Wu Guangyao came to the telegraph room of Global Shipping and asked He Yuanzhang, who had an anxious face, "How is the situation?"

"There is a message from the ship that support is needed. It may be that the power system is aging!" He Yuanzhang shocked Wu Guangyao when he saw it, and the anxious look on his face became even worse!

"I told you a long time ago that some ships need to be phased out, and you just can't bear it! This is the first time that major failures have occurred this year. It's better to stop at sea. At most, you can lose some money to customers; if it's because of old ships The oil spill was caught by the maritime departments of the countries passing by, and we have to pay for it!" Wu Guangyao couldn't help criticizing He Yuanzhang.

The oil spill mentioned by Wu Guangyao is not a small problem. Different countries have different punishment standards.

But both of them are losing money in large sums.

The Southeast Asian countries are okay, if you take a bribe and public relations, you will pay for a 15-year-old ship;

If the oil leaked near the waters of Japan and was caught by the government of Japan, the amount of compensation would be enough to buy a new ship;

If the oil leaked in the United States and polluted their waters, they would have to pay a lot. I am afraid that they would have to pay for three new ships.

This is what Wu Guangyao is most worried about, so Global Shipping dare not invest in those old-fashioned oil tankers in Europe and America.

"The boss is right in criticizing, I will deal with these ships immediately!" He Yuanzhang said with his head buried, thinking that he would be overwhelmed by Wu Guangyao's anger.

At this time, there were no less than ten staff members in the telegraph room, and they all dared not speak out!

He Yuanzhang can be said to be the No. 1 person with real power in Global Shipping. He basically handles all the company's affairs, and he is also a shareholder; even with such an identity, he would never dare to offend Wu Guangyao.

Wu Guangyao thought for a while, and felt that he was a bit too strict, and said calmly: "We should eliminate as much as possible, anyway, our business volume is not at full capacity; and eliminating old ships can also improve our competitiveness. Tell You have a message, starting from the beginning of next year, we will build new ships of 1.5 million to 1.8 million tons every year, think about it for yourself, is it appropriate for us to have so many old ships?"

He Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard Wu Guangyao's words. What is the concept of building 1.5 million to 1.8 million tons of ships every year?

Calculated according to the minimum standard, within ten years, the global shipping fleet will drop to 20 million tons; this is more than the total of the current Soviet Union, right?

The Soviet Union is the second most powerful country in the world. How shocking it would be that the cargo capacity of its fleet would be no match for global shipping!

However, due to the trust in Wu Guangyao, and the fact that Global Shipping not only has no debts at this time, but also has cash to invest in container terminals around the world;

So, after thinking about it, He Yuanzhang felt that this plan was not very risky!

Besides, it's not like building so many ships a year, so what are you afraid of?

"Well, some time ago, our executives discussed together that there are about 700,000 tons of second-hand old ships that need to be eliminated within a year or two; then take advantage of this lesson and immediately dismantle all these ships and sell them for scrap iron." He Yuanzhang said.

In fact, this is the third time that an old ship has been involved in an accident this year, but the previous two times made these executives feel that it was okay and the amount of compensation was acceptable, so they have been reluctant to eliminate the old ship.

After all, in this era, oil prices are very cheap;

Before 1973, international oil prices were controlled by countries headed by the United States;

At that time, contracts based on fixed prices were signed for several years, and there was almost no short-term change in oil prices. Crude oil was about US$15 per ton.

In other words, in the first half of 1957, the freight from Arabia to Europe and the United States was three times the cost of oil; the freight from Japan to Arabia was twice the cost of oil.

The shipping cost is more expensive than the goods, it is so arrogant!

Until October 1973, when the fourth Middle East war broke out, the Arab oil-producing countries announced an oil embargo and cut production in order to attack rival Israel and countries that supported Israel, triggering the first oil crisis. During this period, oil prices soared, from 2 USD/barrel (more than 7 barrels per ton) rose to 11.5 USD/barrel, opec began to have absolute pricing power.

In other words, the price of oil has risen nearly six times!

Because of the oil crisis, countries began to pay attention to oil reserves;

So at the end of the 1970s, everyone's demand for oil was not so high, and then the depression of shipping began.

In the 1980s, the cost of oil prices increased, and the cost of seafarers increased, but freight rates decreased!

It is conceivable that the ship king who does not go ashore has only a dead end!

Japan

After Gao Ke learned about the matter, she rushed to the tenant's office immediately.

"Mr. Nakaju, I'm sorry, an oil tanker rented to you had an accident at sea." Gao Ke said apologetically.

Nakaito frowned, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said, "What do you plan to do with Global Shipping?"

"According to the contract, only 50% of the shipping fee will be charged for this trip. We will ship around the world and guarantee delivery within 20 days after the contract period, otherwise the shipping fee will not be charged."

Nakaito stretched his brows. The attitude of Global Shipping is very acceptable; of course, the main reason is that the compensation plan is still full of praise. Although it is 20 days late, it can save a lot of money!

"But your ships are too old. What if two ships encounter a situation? It will really have a big impact on us!" Nakaito is still a little worried about future cooperation.

"Mr. Zhongju, please rest assured that this time our boss has decided to eliminate 46 old ships with a total deadweight of 700,000 tons. The possibility of future problems will become very small!" Gao Ke said confidently.

Nakaito naturally knows the strength of global shipping, and that is a fleet with a deadweight of 5 million tons! (Global Shipping began to deliberately keep a low profile, concealing the total load capacity of the fleet; the actual new ships plus old ships have a total load capacity of 6.6 million tons, of course including the 1.55 million tons ships that will be launched one after another.)

Nakaito just didn't expect to eliminate the load capacity of 700,000 tons at one time!

"That's good. As our oil company, we don't really want to get any compensation. We just hope that the oil can arrive at the port on time." Nakai Fujiguchi said incredulously.

"That's right! Don't worry, Mr. Nakai, the chances of this kind of thing happening next time are very small!"
