I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

Chapter 123 Capital is the driving force driving technology forward

With Keira, first visited Chuck, the manager of HSBC London branch.

Sanders had already made arrangements, and Wu Guangyao only needed to pay a visit.

At that time, I have taken a fancy to the freighter, and the follow-up payment will be handed over to Chuck.

Next, Wu Guangyao came to the shipping company brokered by HSBC and met Douglas, the owner of the shipping company.

"Mr. Wu, it's really time for you to come. If you come earlier, I'm really afraid that the depreciation of the pound just now will affect the interests of our company!" Douglas said.

"Could it be that your contract also has this loophole?" Wu Guangyao asked in surprise.

"Well! Many companies have this problem. English merchants have suffered a lot from this currency devaluation!" Douglas said in a low voice.

"It's just a temporary pain. In the long run, the depreciation of the currency also brings many opportunities, and the export trade is more competitive!" Wu Guangyao explained.

When Douglas heard this, he could only nod helplessly.

Next, Wu Guangyao and his entourage went to the pier to see two second-hand oil tankers with a capacity of 10,000 tons, and asked the accompanying ship repairers to carefully inspect everything on board.

Sure enough, there are people in the DPRK and China who are good at handling things. With the relationship of HSBC, the shipping company here did not cheat itself.

Besides, I am not a novice in shipping, and it is difficult for ordinary people to fool me.

Wu Guangyao never forgot to study no matter what he was doing.

As a boss, Wu Guangyao is often more proficient in this field than his employees!

The total load of the two freighters is as high as 30,000 tons, and the price is 1.2 million US dollars.

This time, Wu Guangyao asked the shipping company to send him 500 iron barrels of oil, and Big Glass agreed.

What Wu Guangyao thought was that these oil barrels would be sold in the mainland in the future, and supporting Zhao Xi to become a red-capped businessman would also help his future career.

Why not yourself?

Of course Wu Guangyao had to protect himself, otherwise, where would the funds come from in the future to benefit more Chinese people.

Oil barrels and western medicine are North Korean wars,

Relatively scarce materials, many tanks and planes at that time became a pile of scrap iron due to lack of oil.

Many lovely people who were injured died because there was no medicine!

Now that I know the history, hoard a large amount of western medicine, and then give it to the Huo family, He family, Zhao Xi and others, and trade it to the mainland, such a simple thing, of course I have to do it myself.

I don't want to be famous, I just want to have a clear conscience!

So Wu Guangyao planned to invest in advance to collect these materials abroad before the blockade, store them up, and then go to the mainland to exchange for gold.

Free is not enough, if you really free, others will doubt your motives!

As long as you don't sell counterfeit medicines and don't earn a huge price difference, I believe you can gain a friendship!

After the negotiation here, the next day, the three parties signed the contract in the conference room.

Kayla's role finally came in handy, and pointed out two clauses that were not good for round-the-world shipping.

.....

That night, Wu Guangyao invited Kaila to have dinner together.

In the restaurant, there are violin performers playing this Scottish-inspired music, and a kind of leisure fills the entire restaurant.

Bright lights, bright red wine, simple food, and waiters in kilts!

Keira was a little embarrassed, her boss had a wife, but why did she ask her out?

Could it be...

"You seem to have thought a lot?" Wu Guangyao said playfully. As a person of later generations, and also the boss of Keira, he naturally has enough strength to master the rhythm.

Kayla no longer looks like a lawyer, instead she said evasively like a little girl.

"That's good, we still have a hard bone to gnaw, you have to keep your spirits up!"

After hearing Wu Guangyao's words, Kaila said seriously: "I have always maintained sufficient energy, boss, you can rest assured!"

In fact, Wu Guangyao didn't think too much about Keira, he was just bored in London alone, and happened to meet a beautiful woman to pass the time together.

"I want to hear, boss, your entrepreneurial story?" Keira asked curiously.

Since someone is willing to listen, Wu Guangyao is of course willing to speak.

Who doesn't have a little vanity, let alone in front of a beautiful woman!

Wu Guangyao talked about from Lao Fengxiang to Uniqlo, then PG zipper, and finally global shipping, infinitely magnifying his personal ability.

Make the most of your humiliation, and talk about being courageous and resourceful!

Keira really believed it, and said with a look of admiration: "Boss, you are simply a business genius!"

"Actually, it's nothing. I made a little achievement in a quiet place. I haven't changed the society. I have nothing to be proud of! I just like challenges. I'm not reconciled to ordinary people!"

"Then which industry are you most satisfied with?"

"The next industry!"

Kaila gave Wu Guangyao a blank look, obviously dissatisfied with Wu Guangyao's pretentious answer!

"Are you planning to enter another industry?" Keira asked curiously. Why is this young man so energetic?

"My dream is to change the world and make the world a better place! Therefore, I will enter the science and technology business to facilitate mankind and change the way of life of mankind! You should know that in 1947, Bell Labs invented the 'transistor', which It is a very great invention! When I heard the news, I concluded that the world will be changed by semiconductors! Therefore, I plan to carry forward the transistor and apply it to all aspects of human beings, such as radios, televisions.... ..."

At this time, Wu Guangyao, regardless of other people's eyes, narrated his ideals and aspirations.

"However, there are no talents on Hong Kong Island, and there is also a shortage of experimental equipment. How can you guarantee success?" Kaila analyzed calmly.

Wu Guangyao was very dissatisfied with Kaila's interruption of his words. It was rare to find someone to confide in his ideals and aspirations, and it was a great shame for her to suspect her.

"Capital is the driving force driving technology forward. As long as you have capital, you will have a lot of talents who are willing to shed their blood for you! I can build laboratories and factories in Europe and the United States, and I can also carry out production in Hong Kong Island, and even train myself. Just like the PG zipper, when I proposed to improve the machinery, how many people were optimistic about it, but I succeeded in the end! So, young people, don’t talk about failure lightly!”

Wu Guangyao looked like he hated iron but steel, and almost limped Kaila!

"No, boss, you seem to be much younger than me. Why do you speak old-fashionedly? Strictly speaking, it's not working hours now, so you should call me sister!" Kaila finally caught Wu Guangyao's weakness and ran on.

"Call you a big sister, deduct half a month's salary, let you choose?" Wu Guangyao said playfully.

"No, boss, I was wrong!"

The interaction between the two in the restaurant frequently received strange looks from Londoners.

Why does a beautiful white woman have such a close relationship with a yellow man, which makes everyone puzzled!

 …

The next day, Wu Guangyao and his team took off from London and arrived at Burke Machinery in Germany.

Henry warmly entertained Wu Guangyao, apparently thinking that Wu Guangyao had come to order a large number of machines again.

The main business of Burke Machinery is the production of looms, but the sales of looms are not good.

Instead, it made a lot of money on the automatic zipper machine.

However, the new automatic zipper machine of PG Zipper is a patented product, and an exclusive production contract has been signed at the same time. Burke Machinery has no right to produce it and sell it to the outside world.

"Wu, I'm so glad to see you again!" Henry said.

Wu Guangyao naturally knew what Henry was thinking. Before deciding to invest in the shares, the employees in London came to investigate Burke Machinery, and the details of the investigation were almost complete.

Obviously, Burke Machinery does not belong to a promising machinery company, and the looms it produces are hanged by the American Machinery Company.

At the same time, because many countries have been invaded by Germany, they have a feeling of dislike for Burke machinery.

Only businessmen from small Asian countries will consider the products of Burke Machinery.

"I am also very happy to meet you, my partner!" Wu Guangyao said pointedly.

The two parties came to the reception room, and the atmosphere was very friendly!

Wu Guangyao naturally wanted to take advantage of the good atmosphere to express his thoughts!

"Mr. Henry, with the rapid growth of the world's zipper market year by year, small zippers also have unlimited potential. I roughly calculated that in the next 10 years, I will probably need tens of thousands of various machines. For such a large-scale procurement, I might as well build a machinery factory myself, no matter how much I invest, I am not afraid that the cost will not be recovered!"

What Wu Guangyao said was not bragging. According to the statistics of later generations, YKK at its peak had 30,000 units of various machines.

Moreover, these machines are all produced by Yoshida Industries invested by Yoshida Tadao himself.

But in this life, because of the appearance of Wu Guangyao, Tadao Yoshida's YKK zipper major shareholder changed hands.

Many zipper machines specialize in the production of certain types of zippers, so there are many varieties of automatic zipper machines.

Of course, there are not so many tricks at present, but this is the trend in the future, and Wu Guangyao must also develop in this way.

The statement of tens of thousands of machines shocked both parties in the room beyond words.

Henry was a little anxious, and quickly said: "We are very happy to cooperate with your PG zipper from Burke Machinery. The follow-up price can be negotiated. Please continue to consider our company, Mr. Wu! For this reason, we are willing to establish a research and development project team for you. The company specializes in research and development of products!"

Wu Guangyao still shook his head and looked at Henry with a smile.

Henry's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this time he came here to ask the teacher for a crime, and the price was too expensive last time, so he came here to scold him?

"The price can be lowered, we can continue to talk!"

Wu Guangyao knew that it was time to get down to business. It could be seen that the life of Burke Machinery was not easy!

"The tens of thousands of machines in ten years I said is not an imaginary number, but really has such a large amount. For example, automatic zipper machines should be divided into many varieties, and the products produced have different uses. There are also automatic zipper machines. Punching machines, flat grinders, automatic conveyors, automatic tape cutting machines and more.

Our company invests USD 800,000 a year in various research and development, and it can be said that it is not without technical level in machinery. "

After hearing this, Henry still didn't know what medicine Wu Guangyao was selling, but he still admired the person in front of him, the small zipper industry, which he had turned into a world-class enterprise.

"Mr. Wu, please tell me what you want, I will seriously consider it!"

"I want to become a shareholder of your company. I have found someone to investigate your company. The main business of looms is not very good. It is better to turn the main business into a side business in the future, specializing in the production of various machinery for our PG zipper."

So, Henry thought in his heart that he should have understood a long time ago. Didn't this guy just want to buy shares in his company after he said so much?

"How many shares do you want?"

Hearing that Henry didn't refuse, Wu Guangyao felt at ease. He was afraid of that smelly and hard stone, so he didn't know how to change it!

"I will value your machinery factory at US$1 million, and I will invest US$300,000, accounting for 30% of the shares..."

"make a deal!"

Wu Guangyao was taken aback, wait until I finish speaking, why are you in such a hurry!

Seeing that Wu Guangyao was stunned, Henry smiled and said happily, "Mr. Wu, why are you surprised? Your valuation of our company is fair, and besides, you have such a large order, why should I consider it?"

Wu Guangyao was relieved, it was obvious that Burke Machinery was more sad than he imagined!

This business was ruined by myself!

But it doesn't matter, with my 300,000 US dollars, I have a way to let them invest in the new factory.
