I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

After making love with Keira again, the two finally lay powerlessly on the bed, and then wrapped up their bedding to resist the cold of London.

"Honey, how many tons of freighter do you plan to buy this time?" Keira asked.

The red tide on Kaila's face has not subsided, and she is very satisfied when she leans on Wu Guangyao's strong chest!

"220,000 tons of deadweight, 13 tankers!" Speaking of his career, Wu Guangyao became excited, playing with Kaila's achievements dishonestly.

"Ah! Shouldn't you only have a load capacity of 200,000 tons at the moment? Wouldn't such a crazy expansion be too risky!" Kaila ignored Wu Guangyao's big hand, her face full of worry!

Seeing that his woman was worried about him, Wu Guangyao had to explain to Kaila why he was so confident!

"There is no risk, only opportunity! I think the center of world shipping will shift from Europe and the United States to underdeveloped countries and regions!"

"Although the United States, Britain and other countries still have the largest fleets in the world, shipowners have been overwhelmed by the soaring wages of seafarers. Seafarers' unions in European and American countries are powerful. If shipowners adopt low wages or hire third world Seafarers’ unions will surely intervene and sue. In this case, the shipowner has to reduce the size of the fleet.”

"If European and American countries are the first-generation shipping stars, then the countries and regions that are most likely to become the second-generation shipping stars are naturally Greece, Japan, and Hong Kong Island. Hong Kong Island is currently the weakest. If there is no Me, then Hong Kong Island can only be a third-generation shipping star."

"Compared to these three places, Hong Kong Island's salary is the lowest, and it is only one-third of that of Greece and Japan, only one-thirtieth of that of Europe, and one-fortieth of that of the United States."

"Although Hong Kong Island's economy is growing, the rate of salary increase is a few beats slower than that of the above-mentioned countries. Because the trade unions on Hong Kong Island are weak and have no prestige. Besides, the mainland will provide a steady stream of cheap labor, so Wages can’t go up even more.”

"In addition to cheap labor, the tax rate on Hong Kong Island is the lowest in the world, and it has even become a 'tax haven' for ship owners."

"In this way, I have no reason to worry! My goal is to join the second-generation shipping star echelon of Japan and Greece, so it is natural to expand rapidly."

Wu Guangyao talked eloquently, even in front of Sanders, he did not analyze it so carefully.

Why?

Naturally, it was because she was afraid that Kayla would worry about herself,

I also want to establish a tall image in front of my own women!

Sure enough, while listening to Wu Guangyao's analysis, Keira clung to Wu Guangyao tightly, her eyes full of little stars.

"Do you know? I like your confident look. From the first time I saw you, I saw confidence and humor from you, so I got deeper and deeper!"

"Not only am I confident and humorous, but I also have many specialties. Have you noticed?" Wu Guangyao had a wicked smile on his face, but Kaila didn't notice it.

"What specialty? Rich or handsome?" Keira questioned.

"Wealth and handsomeness are not specialties. What I'm talking about is long time, long size, and long strength......"

"I'm going to die! A pervert......"

..........

On the second day, Wu Guangyao assembled his troops and headed for Mana Shipping, one of the largest private shipping companies in England.

As Wu Guangyao said yesterday, the wages of seafarers in Europe and the United States are too high, and the business is not as large as that in the Far East, so the shipowners have to reduce their fleets.

Of course, the reduced freighters are mainly old-fashioned freighters, all of which are over 18 years old.

There is another problem in Europe and America, that is, the crew is very good!

If the freighter is too broken, they will complain to the seafarers' union because the working environment on board is not good!

Next, the shipowner will naturally have trouble, either to subsidize the crew, or to spend money to modify the living quarters of the crew on the ship.

Just so squeamish!

On Hong Kong Island, if the crew dared to complain to the trade union like this, no one would know about being thrown into the sea.

When a group of people came to Mana Shipping Company, Wu Guangyao was warmly welcomed by President Willis!

"Wu, I know you, the new 'ship king' of Hong Kong Island! Your global shipping has a good reputation in Japan, which I think many ship owners can't do!" Willis said exaggeratedly.

In fact, Willis was right. Wu Guangyao's publications in Dongying's newspapers have increased recently, and all kinds of praises have poured in. Obviously, he has won Dongpu's respect!

Don't look at the old oil tankers in global shipping, but they are well maintained and there are no major failures.

The most important thing is that after chartering the ship to you in the spirit of Global Shipping, Global Shipping assumes all responsibilities and provides high-quality services.

"Thank you Willis for your evaluation. I'm just fulfilling my responsibility to make customers feel at ease!" Wu Guangyao said modestly.

"Haha, it's easy to say, but it's very difficult to implement! Not much to say, I'll take you to see the ship directly!" Willis said straightforwardly.

This time, Mana Shipping handled a total of 13 internal combustion engine twin-shaft cargo/oil tankers, ranging from 20,000 tons to 15,000 tons, with a total load capacity of 220,000 tons.

However, these ships are all 20 years old, otherwise, no matter how big a shipping company is, it would be reluctant to eliminate old ships on such a scale.

The facilities on board are simple, and European and American crew members are definitely unwilling to endure such harsh working conditions during long-term voyages.

But the crew on Hong Kong Island not only have no complaints about low wages (because many refugees have no jobs), but they are also particularly able to endure hardship.

When Wu Guangyao walked into the meals, cabins, and lounges of these tankers, he saw that the decoration and appliances were all in European style. I am afraid that the crew on Hong Kong Island would feel very comfortable!

There is no need to guess, but a very certain thing!

On 13 freighters, Wu Guangyao and the crew appraiser finally finished their work after more than three hours.

A group of people came to the shipping office of Mana at the port, where Willis had been waiting for a long time!

"Well, is the ship's information true?" Willis said with a smile.

"There are some gaps, such as..." Finding faults is a good assistant in price negotiation, and Wu Guangyao will naturally not let go of these opportunities.

"Mr. Wu, these are minor problems. Besides, they are twenty-year-old ships. You can go back and repair and maintain them, and they will be fine!"

"But the cost needs to be shared among us by shipping, because these ships are caused by your neglect of maintenance. I think the total price is 9 million US dollars. How is the deal?" Wu Guangyao suddenly turned to the topic, which made Willis a little caught off guard.

The original quotation was US$9.6 million, but Wu Guangyao directly counter-offered US$600,000, equivalent to a 12,000-ton second-hand freighter.

"Impossible! Our quotation is not high, and Mr. Wu, you are too ruthless in counter-offering! If you are not a partner of HSBC, I will choose to terminate the negotiation immediately!" Williams said deliberately, pretending to be angry.

Wu Guangyao was not afraid, and said: "Mr. Willis, don't get excited, I am not bargaining unreasonably. From the bottom of the freighter, it is obvious that these ships have not performed missions for several months. It is obviously a burden, it is better to..."

I said the problem just now in detail again, meaning that you are in the port anyway, and you rarely assign tasks to these 13 freighters, so you might as well sell them to yourself.

"9.3 million dollars, Mr. Wu, I am negotiating with you with sincerity, you can't go any further!" Willis also knew that Wu Guangyao was a little fussy, so he gave Wu Guangyao a vaccination.

Cut, Wu Guangyao will take care there, and continued: "9.1 million US dollars, I can promise Willis one thing, Willis will definitely think that spending 200,000 US dollars is worth it!"

Wu Guangyao deserved a beating. This was Willis' idea. How could HSBC support such a hooligan?

"Let's talk first!" Willis gritted his teeth and said.

"Willis sells these ships to others, and I am sure others will use these ships to go the European route. If sold to me, I can sign a contract that these ships will never go on the European route, so as not to ship with Willis's Manna compete!"

Wu Guangyao's condition is worth 200,000 US dollars?
