I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

Before the Lunar New Year, Wu Guangyao took the Boeing 707 flight of Hong Kong Island Airlines to Tokyo.

The Boeing 707 can carry 195 people, which belongs to the large aircraft of this era;

Moreover, the Boeing 707 is still a jet aircraft, and the comfort in the air is much more comfortable than that of a propeller aircraft;

In terms of speed, the Boeing 707 has shortened the journey from Hong Kong Island to Dongying by one and a half hours, and now it only takes four and a half hours to arrive.

Currently, Hong Kong Island Airlines has 2 Boeing 707s, 3 Viscount airliners, and 3 Douglas C-3 airliners;

Just last year, Hong Kong Island Airlines ordered two more Boeing 707s.

The Douglas c-3 aircraft was one of the most popular propeller aircraft in the 1940s and 1950s;

However, the passenger capacity can only be more than 20 people, so it is an antique passenger plane and will face elimination.

The Viscount airliner can carry up to 70 passengers, which is considered a relatively large propeller aircraft;

Moreover, although the Viscount airliner is a propeller aircraft, its first flight was in 1946;

The Viscount airliner of Global Shipping has only been in use for six or seven years, so it is a new airliner.

After the delivery of two Boeing 707s next year, the three Douglas aircraft will be laid off gloriously!

At that time, Hong Kong Island Airlines has a total of 4 Boeing 707s and 3 Viscount airliners, and it can be regarded as a very strong regional airline.

The reason why Hong Kong Island Airlines dared to buy such a large-scale aircraft is due to the busy routes between Hong Kong Island and Dongying; people from Dongying like to travel to Hong Kong Island, and businessmen from Hong Kong Island often go to Dongying to do business, so this route makes Cathay Pacific They are all envious.

As a local company on Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong Island has the care of the Hong Kong government on the route, which naturally has a greater advantage than European and American airlines.

It can be said that when Wu Guangyao took control of Hong Kong Island Airlines, he cut off one hand of Swire Pacific!

Sitting in the seat, Wu Guangyao's eyes were looking around, and the stewardesses were already familiar with it;

The boss is not looking at himself, but checking the work.

After observing for a while, Wu Guangyao fell asleep without finding anything unsatisfactory...

 …

Global Shipping intends to carry out this shipbuilding in a low-key manner.

In other words, Wu Guangyao planned to hide some of his strength!

Global Shipping is already well-known now, and there is no need to further increase its popularity;

It is to let the media or industry professionals in the world not know their true strength.

Think about it, during the closure of the Suez Canal from 1967 to 1975, global shipping owned ships with a load capacity of 15 million to 20 million tons, quietly making a fortune, how cool it is!

Before 1967, Wu Guangyao estimated that the global shipping would have a load capacity of 15 million tons, and the global shipping might have very little loan;

Then in the next eight years, Wu Guangyao can start to reap profits.

At that time, it was after Wu Guangyao had been engaged in shipping for 18 years that he began to see money back;

It is conceivable that if you are not a traveler, you will not be able to not take a penny from the company for 18 years, and you will continue to pay money from other industries;

You must know that at the beginning, most of the profits of zippers were invested in global shipping!

The first stop of Wu Guangyao and his party is still Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, because the price is favorable and the quality is guaranteed;

Japan has many large shipyards. Just last year, the total load capacity of ships launched in Japan accounted for 22% of the world, second only to the United States, and surpassed the old powers Britain, France and Germany.

This time the shipbuilding still chooses 100,000-ton oil tankers, and 50,000-ton cargo ships; therefore, Global Shipping plans to build 15 100,000-ton oil tankers and 10 50,000-ton cargo ships.

Ichiro Aikawa never thought that Global Shipping would come to order oil tankers so soon, but after receiving the appointment from Global Shipping, Aikawa Ichiro was very happy, this is a big customer!

"Mr. Aikawa, I am a regular customer of Dongying Shipyard, you can get a discount!" Wu Guangyao said first.

Aikawa Ichiro has a deep understanding of Wu Guangyao's bargaining, but this time he said with a wry smile: "Mr. Wu, you should also know that the labor wages in Dongying have increased by as much as 30% in the past two years, and the price of steel has also increased. Therefore, for a 100,000-ton oil tanker, our minimum price can only be 12 million Hong Kong dollars, and we can no longer bargain; Global Shipping is our old customer and our future long-term customer. We will never The lion opened his mouth wide."

Naturally, Wu Guangyao knew the situation of the shipbuilding industry, so he was quite appreciative of the price, and he nodded in agreement; it was obviously disgusting to make a counter-offer.

"Mr. Aikawa is straightforward. The price is 12 million US dollars per vessel. We need to order 12 oil tankers of 100,000-ton level. However, Mitsubishi must keep our shipbuilding information secret. We want to keep a low profile this time."

Ichiro Aikawa was taken aback. He didn't expect that the high-profile global shipping would want to keep a low profile. You know, before the global shipping was built by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, when the contract was signed, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries had to invite reporters from Dongying and government departments to come and report on it. ; When the new ship is launched, female celebrities from Japan will come to cut the ribbon.

This one, why did you change your mind?

After shaking the thoughts in his mind, Ichiro Aikawa quickly realized that the customer is God, not to mention such a simple request.

"Of course, we will come as requested by Mr. Wu. Mr. Wu, are you free tonight? I would like to invite you to a banquet."

"Well, I'm free! I prefer to make friends!"

Generally, after this kind of cooperation is reached, as a landlord, a banquet will usually be held.

 …

The banquet in the evening gave Wu Guangyao a small surprise. It was not that Aikawa Ichiro introduced some beauties to Wu Guangyao, but introduced several potential clients to Wu Guangyao.

This can't help but make Wu Guangyao look at Aikawa Ichiro with admiration, he is very good!

After Wu Guangyao handed over the business card, Aikawa Ichiro said: "Mr. Wu, these are our customers of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, but they prefer to rent ships on Hong Kong Island, so I will introduce them to you!"

Ichiro Aikawa's words are a little helpless, some shipping companies in Japan will choose to lease ships on Hong Kong Island;

Because Dongying's policy is like this, if the shipyard sells the ship to foreigners, it will get some subsidies;

On the other hand, Dongying people pay higher tax rates when buying ships in Dongying;

Coupled with artificial reasons, some shipping companies in Japan simply rent a large number of ships on Hong Kong Island.

The biggest customers of Bao Yugang in later generations are the two companies of Dongying Yamaguchi Steamboat and Dongying Steamship, and these two companies are shipping companies themselves; Bao Yugang leased his own ship to these two companies for a long time at a low price.

Therefore, it seems that Bao Yugang had a load capacity of 2,100 tons at his peak in 1980 (HSBC shares accounted for more than 40%); in fact, Bao Yugang did not earn much, and his net worth was only more than 2 billion US dollars at that time.

Wu Guangyao is different. He started 6 years earlier than Bao Yugang, and the starting capital is dozens of times that of Bao Yugang; plus eight years before the closure of Suez, the global shipping fleet can reach 15 million tons; In 1967, it had a load capacity of just over 3.5 million tons.

Therefore, it is not difficult for Wu Guangyao to create a profit of 10 billion U.S. dollars by global shipping.

"Is Mr. Wu considering long-term rental?" asked a client introduced by Ichiro Aikawa.

"Of course, there is no problem if the price is right!"

"Really? A Hong Kong Island shipowner I work with is called Bao Yugang. I don't know if you have heard of it!"

"Well, I've heard of it! Did Mr. Kishimoto want to say that he gave you a very low rent?" Wu Guangyao guessed, but he didn't expect to meet Bao Yugang so soon.

Although Bao Yugang's long-term lease and low-price stable policy can obtain a large amount of bank loans for him to quickly achieve the purpose of expanding the fleet, it is difficult to bring him a large amount of profit.

Fortunately, in this life, he would never be able to become a large ship owner of 3.5 million tons in 1967, and look like he was 2 million tons to death;

At this time, the owner of an old ship with only 300,000 tons is the owner, so the threat to Wu Guangyao is not particularly great!

"Well, can Mr. Wu give that kind of price?"

Wu Guangyao shook his head and explained seriously: "Mr. Kishimoto, maybe not! Because our fleet as a whole is much newer than his fleet, and our sailors are more professional...... Of course, we will also We will try our best to provide everyone with a preferential price. If you have needs, you can call the number on the business card, and we will definitely show the utmost sincerity.”

Wu Guangyao would not adopt a price that was too low in order to compete with Bao Yugang for customers; wouldn't he fall into vicious competition with Bao Yugang and benefit the Dongying people in vain.

Wu Guangyao couldn't believe it anymore. Without the strong support of HSBC, and the fact that Global Shipping took the lead in seizing the source of customers, Bao Yugang could still grow to that level.

Wu Guangyao is even more impressed with him if he can achieve half of it.

Seeing Wu Guangyao's reluctance to participate in the bidding round, several people couldn't help but feel disappointed. It's a pity that a small boat owner on Hong Kong Island can't pose a threat to him.

If the freight rate in Japan is reduced, then the shipping situation in Japan will change, and the strength of global shipping can be imagined.

Global Shipping has invested 2 million tons of load in Dongying, which can be said to have provided strong support for Dongying's industrial construction.

"Alright then! We believe in Mr. Wu's sincerity, and we will definitely consider global shipping later."

"Okay, our reputation for global shipping is well-known throughout Japan and even the whole world. I hope we can cooperate!"
