I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

In late July, Wu Guangyao sent He Yuanzhang to Europe to purchase four second-hand freighters, bringing the load capacity of global shipping to 200,000 tons and the number of freighters to 16.

Before leaving, He Yuanzhang came to Wu Guangyao's office.

"Boss, there is news from Dongpu that the shipping fee there has risen to $8 a ton. Do we want to follow suit?"

Wu Guangyao shook his head, obviously he didn't want to raise the price now, it would be indecent to eat like this.

Now that I have made up my mind to develop the shipping business based on Japan, it is natural to establish a good reputation.

Of course, not raising the price now does not mean that it will not rise in the future!

Let yourself behave and raise prices passively.

For example, the freight outside has increased from US$7 per ton to US$8 per ton, and then to US$10 per ton again.

At this time, I can increase the price to $9 a ton, and I will still give you a 10% discount!

Customers will think that the owner of the ship did not raise the price when it was $8 a ton, which shows that he is not the kind of person who only has interests.

And the freight has reached 10 US dollars per ton. It is understandable for others to increase the price, at least a 10% discount!

"Do you know why the shipping fee over there in Japan has risen?" Wu Guangyao planned to test his right-hand man to see if he had vision.

If you want to be an economic tycoon, you cannot stay away from politics, you must understand the current situation, and grasp the substantive things in the dazzling performance.

For example, the outbreak of the Korean War this time is closely related to all the companies under his banner.

"With the outbreak of the Korean War, the United States will definitely participate with all its strength, so it will need a lot of resources. These resources cannot be purchased locally, so they will only be purchased in Japan. In this way, Japan will definitely develop rapidly and demand resources. The resources of Japan's own province It is poor, so it needs to purchase a lot from outside, and the shipping cost will naturally skyrocket!" He Yuanzhang analyzed with reason.

Wu Guangyao nodded, the analysis made sense!

"Then how many years do you think this war will last?" Wu Guangyao asked again.

He Yuanzhang was taken aback, how many years?

Although the Northern Dynasty has driven South Korea to the corner of Busan,

It occupies 90% of the land, but in the eyes of sensible people, it is known that the United States has not yet done its best and is mobilizing troops.

In the eyes of these people, it would be good if North Korea survived six months!

He Yuanzhang thought that Wu Guangyao believed that once the United States organized the sea, land and air, the war would end soon, so he decided not to increase the price, so as not to make customers feel that the company is too eager for quick success.

Listening to the boss now, how many years will this war last?

He Yuanzhang's mind was running at high speed, trying to find some inspiration from the boss's words.

After coming over for a while, He Yuanzhang said: "The boss means that the polar bear will participate in the Korean War?"

Wu Guangyao thought to himself that until now, no one believed that the mainland would participate in the war, and they had sent millions of troops to participate in the war with all their strength.

Even the United States still doesn't believe in this possibility after two months!

It's no wonder that everyone has no vision, even the mainland only decided to get involved in this war in early October.

Unexpectedly, this fight took place on and off for three years!

Wu Guangyao shook his head and didn't say much, obviously he couldn't reveal too much!

"I'm telling you this, just to tell you that we must work hard in shipping! We must study all kinds of foreign information and find useful information from it. This time you go to Europe as well."

"Well, I'll be paying attention!"

"Go and prepare for the trip to Europe. When you get there, remember to contact my law firm and ask them to send someone to accompany you all the way!"

"Well, then I'm leaving!"

HSBC

Sandas finally relied on its strong contacts to successfully lobby high-level executives to acquire the shares of Hong Kong Island Airlines held by Anglia Overseas Airlines.

Hong Kong Island Airlines is not worth much. The fixed assets are only 6 old-fashioned propeller planes and the flight license.

But if Anglia Overseas Airlines does not withdraw, no one can take over, because it is the official company of England.

But now that Anglia Overseas Airlines intends to withdraw, HSBC can naturally acquire 35% of its shares.

The senior management of HSBC generally believes that this is a value investment. If Jardine Matheson’s business improves, it may not be the second Cathay Pacific;

If the management is not good, then it will only be acquired by Cathay Pacific Airways, and HSBC will also take advantage of the opportunity to enter Cathay Pacific Airways.

1.5 million Hong Kong dollars, 35% of the shares of Hong Kong Island Airlines, the deal was quickly negotiated!

When Wu Guangyao heard the news, he squeezed his fist hard, and the Great Wall finally took the first step!

Then there is a long wait, three or five years...

 …

Wu Guangyao made an appointment with Zhao Xi to have dinner at the Yunsheng Restaurant, and planned to sell the shares of Yaoxi Trading to Zhao Xi.

"What, you want to transfer the shares to me? Guangyao, why is that? You must know that the major shareholder of Yaoxi Trading is you!" Zhao Xi heard Wu Guangyao's proposal, and his first reaction was not joy, but fear.

The reason for Zhao Xi's fear was that Wu Guangyao felt that the future of the trading company was uncertain. After all, Zhao Xi believed in Wu Guangyao's vision.

"Don't worry, the future of Yaoxi Trading is very good, and there is no problem. The reason for my withdrawal is simple. The trading company involves too many political factors, so I want to withdraw! For example, the Hong Kong government now prohibits some items from entering the mainland , will you stand up and take risks?" Wu Guangyao was right, he knew Zhao Xi, and he was also a master who avoided taking risks.

"Yes, as long as there is a profit, I will find a way to transport it!" Zhao Xi replied honestly.

The main target of Yaoxi's trade is the inland, so it is impossible to cut off the trade in the inland.

"That's it. I'm different. I have many industries and rely heavily on the Hong Kong government, so I can't let this time bomb stay with me. So, I want to transfer it to you!"

Zhao Xi thought about it, and it was true.

"But, I don't have so much money to buy your shares, what should I do?" Zhao Xi asked in embarrassment.

Wu Guangyao holds 80% of the shares in Yaoxi Trading, and Zhao Xi is just a minority shareholder.

Because Wu Guangyao's investment was wholly-owned at the beginning, while Zhao Xi's investment was only personal.

After more than two years of development, Yaoxi Trade is worth at least 200,000 Hong Kong dollars, so Zhao Xi can't afford 160,000 Hong Kong dollars at all.

"It's okay, even if I lent it to you, just pay me back after making money!"

Zhao Xi was very moved when he heard this, he never thought that he would have such an opportunity!

I thought that I was just an employee of Jardine Matheson at the beginning, but just because I met this nobleman on the liner, I had a great chance to become one of the richest people on Hong Kong Island.

Wu Guangyao thought about it, and decided to give Zhao Xi another chance.

"Brother Zhao, Hong Kong Island's export sales are increasing rapidly, and it is estimated that it will reach 500 million next year. If the export sales of Hong Kong Island products reach 500 million next year, it will account for 20% of Hong Kong Island's total exports. This rapidly increasing figure It shows that Hong Kong Island has changed from the status of an entrepot port to a trading and manufacturing center. If you dabble in hardware manufacturing, your career will go to a higher level!"

When Zhao Xi heard Wu Guangyao's statement, he naturally believed it, because the "Oriental Daily" under Wu Guangyao is a commercial newspaper and likes to use various data to illustrate problems.

Zhao Xi is from Guangdong Province, and there is a saying in Guangdong Province: "It is worse to be a loser than a loser."

It means that choosing to lag behind others is worse than being a prodigal!

Zhao Xi quickly said, "Okay, I'm going to prepare a loan recently to open a hardware factory."

After returning home, Zhao Xi couldn't wait to say to his wife Han Jing: "How much money can our family raise?"

Han Jing was taken aback, what did Xianggong ask this in a hurry?

"I have saved some money in the past two years, about 20,000 Hong Kong dollars."

Zhao Xi paced around the room thinking, isn't this amount of principal enough?

It costs 100,000 Hong Kong dollars to open a factory. Even if you take a loan, you must have at least a principal of 30,000 to 50,000 Hong Kong dollars!

"Can you sell some gold and silver jewelry? I need funds to open a hardware processing factory?" Zhao Xi said embarrassingly.

I thought that my career started in the past two years and I could give my wife a good life, but I didn't expect it to start so soon now, and I paid attention to my wife's gold and silver jewelry.

"Are you sure?" Han Jing said. Of course, she supported her husband's career, but she was afraid that her husband would be too aggressive.

"It's very big! By the way, Guangyao has already sold the shares of Yaoxi Trading to me, but he can give it back when he earns the money. This hardware factory is also his attention, so he should be sure!"

"Ah, that's great! If it's Guangyao's idea, then we really have to seize the opportunity, then sell some gold and silver, and I'll go to my mother's house to borrow some, and the 50,000 principal should be able to come together!" Han Jing listened to Zhao Xi's words, said without hesitation.

Zhao Xi is a bit tasteful, how can this wife trust Wu Guangyao so much, even she doesn't have this kind of treatment!

"What are you hesitating about? It's decided like this. You have to listen to the God of Wealth. Tomorrow I will borrow money from my natal family!" Han Jing said urgently seeing that her husband was just in a daze and didn't speak.

Yup! Wu Guangyao is known as the God of Wealth in Hong Kong Island, what's the point of worshiping his wife!

Damn myself, this is even more delicious!

Zhao Xi came to his senses and said, "Well, let's gather up 50,000 principal and then go to the bank for a loan. If everything goes well, the debt can be paid off in just one or two years. By then, you will be a rich wife on Hong Kong Island." !"

"Well, you understand! After paying off the debt, I want to buy more gold jewelry!"

Both of them fell into the beautiful longing for the future!
