I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

Chapter 104 Ship King Arrives at Port

Now that the matter of the freighter has been settled, Wu Guangyao is naturally in the mood to take Lin Yueru for a good trip.

Company employees Kevin and Mary drove around San Francisco as their guides.

"Yueru, this is the Golden Gate Bridge. It was successfully built in 1937 and is the main symbol of San Francisco. The Golden Gate Strait is below. With this bridge, it is convenient for cross-strait communication and improves economic development."

As soon as the car drove into the Golden Gate Bridge, Wu Guangyao introduced Lin Yueru.

Because Wu Guangyao has been to San Francisco in both the later life and this life, he is obviously no stranger to this place.

Wu Guangyao talked endlessly about the culture, history, and environment here, which stunned the three people in the car.

Are you local?

How do you understand it so clearly?

Mary is a beautiful white girl, and couldn't help asking: "Boss, why are you so familiar with San Francisco? I feel like I'm not as proficient in its history as you are."

"Listen to what my friend said!" Wu Guangyao cited the words of a friend of mine, obviously this trick can be used in any age.

Lin Yueru gave Wu Guangyao a supercilious look. In her eyes, her husband understood a lot.

If someone asks him why he knows so much, it’s always the same rhetoric, a friend told me!

After playing with Lin Yueru for two days, Wu Guangyao began to receive the employees who came back from sales one after another.

These people are different from Hong Kong Island employees, they are all highly educated.

Wu Guangyao drew some cakes a little bit, and these people were fascinated by it!

"Do you think we are a small company? PG Zipper is already on the way to become a world-class company. You are also a part of it, and you should make more contributions to it!"

"You are all the veterans of the company. If you do well, the company will focus on training you."

"When the company becomes world-class, you will get promoted and raise your salary, and you will drive your car to work!"

"The entire American continent is your battlefield,

As long as you can sell successfully, I can afford to give you any commission! "

Wu Guangyao directly borrowed many terminology for painting cakes from later generations.

These people, after all these battles, walked out of the office one by one in a puffy mood, and devoted themselves to work with enthusiasm.

It is precisely because they are highly educated that Wu Guangyao's painting works so well, because they can see the future!

If I were to face my ordinary workers and just draw cakes but not give reality, I am afraid that these people will scold me to death in my heart.

Isn't there an idiom in Huaxia, playing the piano to a cow, which refers to this situation.

In the remaining few days, Wu Guangyao focused on guiding Zhou Yiren to make the company's framework more perfect!

In Wu Guangyao's plan, the American branch is not just a sales company, but a comprehensive company.

Every department needs to be built and needs to be equipped with strong human resources.

The main business is selling American zippers, and the sideline business can be Wu Guangyao's eyeliner and assisting his other companies.

For example, for the two boats purchased this time, the company can send people to watch them for them.

After staying in San Francisco for a total of 10 days, Wu Guangyao and Lin Yueru started to fly back to Hong Kong Island to end their trip to the United States.

To be honest, every time he came out, Wu Guangyao always had a kind of concern.

In my heart, I have already regarded Hong Kong Island as my base camp and my foundation.

Hong Kong Island Kai Tak Airport

Spring is cold and rainy!

The charter king took his wife and two daughters, and slowly got off the plane, feeling everything here!

Very familiar, but very strange!

The weather is very familiar, the weather here is like Shanghai, the spring in the south is shrouded in damp mist, and the cold hits.

This damp cold is more uncomfortable than the dry cold in the north!

The environment is very strange, is this Hong Kong? Is this the place where people who escaped the war can live?

Although it is also a place with well-developed commercial and financial industries, Shanghai is more prosperous than Hong Kong Island, and even the streets are cleaner than Hong Kong Island!

Chartered Ship King feels like being exiled!

In Shanghai, although he is not a banker, he is also the deputy general manager of the Shanghai Bank of Shanghai, and he is a person of dignity.

Now that I come to Hong Kong Island, I feel ashamed!

The 'Morakha' (Indian soldiers) commanded the crowd who got off the plane to line up to receive immigration passports.

These passports are all issued by an institution in England. To put it bluntly, they are colonial ID cards!

Modern people think it may be an insult, but in this era, hehe, please see below.

When receiving the immigration passport, the charter king waved his hands excitedly.

It was so easy and the process was so smooth!

Many of the people who got off the plane were prominent high-ranking officials, wealthy businessmen, and entertainers.

They held the passports in their hands excitedly, and the expressions of joy on their faces were beyond words.

It went so well! too easy!

In this way, everyone is a legitimate Hong Kong Islander!

However, they were happy too early, although it is easy to become a Hong Kong Islander.

But then, integrating into this circle is far more difficult than imagined!

You have to pay a high price to integrate into this circle!

The first is the problem of housing. At this time, housing on Hong Kong Island is seriously tight.

If you can find a place to live, even if you are a family squeezed together, you are lucky!

Many people can only sleep on the streets, in the stairs, and in the corridors, and some build some simple temporary houses, despite the blowing of the typhoon and the torrential rain, and they are also facing the threat of fire.

Although the Hong Kong government has formulated policies to control the rent in the face of increasingly expensive rents, the rental of houses has also moved from the front to the bottom.

Secretly, the landlord collects the tenant's "top-hand fee", and the highest price gets it. The government can't control this kind of thing that you like.

A 1,200-square-foot (110-square-foot) three-room house costs tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars in "top-hand fees."

Think about the price of renting a house, how high it has been fired!

Back then, Wu Guangyao only bought a tenement building for more than 40,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Do you think you can settle down after renting a house?

If we say that when Wu Guangyao came to Hong Kong Island for 47 years, the social environment was still very simple!

Well, now the social environment on Hong Kong Island has begun to become complicated, with routs, gangsters, and spies stepping onto the stage of history one after another.

Thousands of broken soldiers gathered on the mountain, doing nothing every day, waiting for relief from the government.

They formed gangs such as 14K and Xin Ngee Ann.

And many businessmen are sitting on the mountain, coupled with gangs, and finally their families are ruined.

Of course, there are also many opportunities. As a link with the mainland, Hong Kong Island has produced many rich people in later generations.

Even in the world, the tycoons on Hong Kong Island are well-known!

In the 1980s, the "New York Times" named the world's seven largest shipping kings, and Hong Kong Island occupied two of them, the Chartered Ship King and the Dong Ship King.

The two 3,000-ton freighters I purchased from the United States this time have made Wu Guangyao the No. 3 in the Chinese shipping industry on Hong Kong Island.

It was only in 1955 that the charter king raised money from everywhere and bought a 28-year-old old-fashioned coal-fired cargo ship with a thousand tons;

Zhao Chuanwang only came to Hong Kong Island last winter, and there was only one "Victoria Star" cargo ship.

Only Dong Chuanwang and Xu Chuanwang surpassed Wu Guangyao by a lot!

Dong Chuanwang already owned three 10,000-ton cargo ships and several 1,000-ton cargo ships, but he had a catastrophe. In 1950, two 10,000-ton cargo ships were detained by the United States, and the company almost faced financial bankruptcy.

The old ship king Xu has been developing on Hong Kong Island for three years and owns many freighters. Sailing from Zhanjiang to Hong Kong, as well as South China, Central China, and North China, it competed with the two shipping companies of English Taishi and Jardine, which had monopolized China's shipping industry for a long time.

Wu Guangyao is very optimistic about the shipping industry, which is second only to the zipper industry in his mind.
