I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

In mid-October, Wu Guangyao returned to Hong Kong Island and came to HSBC.

"What, 80 million US dollars? Mr. Wu, are you kidding me?" Sanders raised his voice in vain, his tone full of disbelief.

"Sandus, this is a new ship, the risk is always very small!" Wu Guangyao said.

New ships do not depreciate as much as old ships, so Global Shipping can be mortgaged to HSBC in exchange for loans.

"The risk is small, but it doesn't mean there is no risk! Global shipping has made a lot of profits this time because of the development of Dongying (influenced by the Korean War), but it doesn't mean that it has always had such good luck."

Wu Guangyao was very depressed, because he knew the future and was full of confidence; but others didn't know, so everyone was full of worry!

It seems that if you want HSBC to support yourself, you can only continue to use PG zipper guarantee!

Although PG Zipper is a guarantee, PG Zipper does not need to pay any money, just in case!

"Sangdas, my PG zipper has completed the acquisition of Dongying YKK zipper, which means that the global zipper market has been completely opened to me. I estimate that zipper can bring me 12 million to 15 million US dollars a year in the future. Profit. As usual, PG zippers are used as a guarantee, and the new ship is also mortgaged in your bank. This time, I will loan 80% of the ship’s payment.”

When Sanders heard that PG Zipper had acquired YKK Zipper, it immediately dispelled its worries.

There are only two large zipper manufacturers in the world, PG Zipper and YKK Zipper. Unexpectedly, PG Zipper has completed the acquisition of YKK Zipper;

It is conceivable that in the future, as long as the price of PG zipper has an absolute advantage over Europe and the United States, it will be able to monopolize the zipper industry.

"Okay, but for such a large loan, I need to report to the board of directors, but I will fully support you!" Sandas hesitated for a moment, became determined, and immediately acted vigorously.

For an order of 80 million US dollars, even if only 20% of the payment is required, global shipping cannot afford it now;

Fortunately, this money does not require a one-time expenditure!

Including interest, Global Shipping will owe more than 90 million US dollars in debt. It is estimated that it will take six years to pay off if no more freighters are added.

Of course, Global Shipping will not stop purchasing second-hand ships, so this time may be brought forward!

At least,

Wu Guangyao has fulfilled his original oath, and within five years, the total load capacity of global shipping will reach 1 million tons!

The development of this model also predestined that for at least a decade or two, the profits earned by global shipping cannot be used for other purposes and can only be used to buy new ships.

Only in this way will he truly be crowned the throne of 'World Ship King'!

Two days later, Sandas notified Wu Guangyao that the senior management of HSBC had agreed to the loan.

Although Wu Guangyao didn't know what happened, he could imagine that Sandas had to go through difficult lobbying before he could succeed!

Wu Guangyao finally felt relieved, only with a new ship can he have business in Europe and America, otherwise no one will give you a chance at all!

Speaking of Arabia, many people's first impression is oil!

In this era, although many industrialists came to Arabia and wanted to develop oil, they all came back disappointed;

Because Saudi Aramco controls the development of the entire region.

In this era, Aramco is controlled by four American oil companies, namely Chevron, Texaco, Exxon and Mobil.

Moreover, crude oil production and prices, which have a decisive impact on the fiscal revenue of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, are still in their hands.

It was not until the 1960s that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia made up its mind to take back control of Aramco!

At present, the contract between Aramco and the King of Saudi Arabia is that Aramco will monopolize oil exploitation, and will pay the king a considerable amount of royalties for every ton of oil extracted.

After the oil is extracted, Aramco ships it around the world on its own ships.

But the contract does not say that Aramco also has a monopoly on oil transportation.

Wu Guangyao understood that the old king didn't realize that there was an opportunity to take advantage of the contract!

And this can also bring me more huge wealth, because I want to provide oil tankers for Saudi Arabia.

That's why Wu Guangyao decided to build a new ship. Two years later, when he had enough strength, he went to persuade the King of Saudi Arabia to establish their own oil transportation company.

This oil transportation company, all fly the flag of Saudi Arabia.

The company has a monopoly on oil transportation from oil fields in Saudi Arabia, and its shareholders are the King of Saudi Arabia and Global Shipping.

Once this agreement is fully implemented, Saudi Arabia and Wu Guangyao will get whatever they want!

It doesn't matter if you don't have enough ships, you can also rent other people's tankers!

Of course, the worst case scenario is that Aramco and the American shipowners will rebel, and even European countries will condemn this agreement;

Maybe Saudi Arabia will cancel this agreement under pressure, but what can Wu Guangyao lose?

Maybe it's just a little activity funds, some energy!

"It's a blessing in disguise, but you don't know what's going on." The oil tanker is still his own. Although he failed, his reputation has been greatly shaken, and he will become the focus of attention of the whole world.

This loss-making asset will be the most expensive advertisement in the world for global shipping!

At that time, global shipping will enter the European and American markets, wouldn't it be overwhelming!

The so-called extraordinary people do extraordinary things. European and American shipping companies have always looked down on Chinese shipowners. They think that Chinese ships are not only second-hand, but also small ships, so they will not lease the cargo ships of Chinese shipowners.

If Wu Guangyao wants to enter the international market, he can only do extraordinary things to make his name famous!

Otherwise, just wait for eight or six years, but Wu Guangyao is not someone who is willing to wait!

.....

Dongying Wugang, blue sea and blue sky, clear sky!

For this signing ceremony, Fisher not only invited Dongying Media, but also invited news media from many countries and regions such as American Media and Hong Kong Island Media. It is bound to spread a wave of publicity around the world.

Wu Guangyao and Fisher have the same idea, and also believe that the global shipping industry needs a wave of publicity!

It can’t always affect people. Global Shipping only knows to buy old ships, and it is a shipping company that picks up junk!

It was a knocked-out warship that Fisher converted into a cruise ship.

And the signing ceremony this time is on the deck of this cruise ship!

The protagonists of this signing are Global Shipping, Mark Shipyard and HSBC Bank, which is a tripartite contract.

Signing in, speeches from the three parties, signing the contract, and under the witness of all the media, an order of 80 million US dollars was reached in this way!

Naturally, he was interviewed by the media, but it was strange that all the reporters came to Wu Guangyao's side, leaving Fisher with a look of embarrassment.

Sanders is okay, the main character this time is not HSBC!

Wu Guangyao watched a group of media, scrambling to ask himself questions, so that he was confused, and quickly signaled everyone to stop.

"Everyone asks this question, and I can't answer it at all. How about this, a media has three questions, and I will call the roll! I will give you three minutes to prepare first!"

Everyone heard it, thought about it, and quickly agreed!

Three minutes later, Wu Guangyao first pointed to the American media.

"Mr. Wu, Global Shipping has always purchased second-hand old freighters eliminated in Europe and the United States. Why did they choose to buy new ships this time? And there are 15 giant ships with a capacity of 30,000 tons? Aren't you afraid of the ruthlessness of the sea?"

The words of this American reporter are obviously discriminatory, but Wu Guangyao cannot get angry!

Often incompetent people get angry!

"This American reporter, you asked a total of three questions, so there is no chance to ask any more questions!" Wu Guangyao preconceived.

"This is one question, how can there be three questions?" The American reporter blurted out.

Wu Guangyao pointed at everyone and said, "Everyone, how many questions are you commenting on?"

All the reporters laughed and said, "There are three questions, American reporters, think about it carefully!"

The American reporter finally came to his senses, and suddenly felt ashamed!

Wu Guangyao easily completed the counter-kill without losing his gentlemanly demeanor!

"Let me answer your first question. Any company has a process of growing from small to large, from weak to strong. Undoubtedly, our global shipping company is beginning to become stronger, so we will buy new ships to increase our competitiveness; The second question, 15 huge ships with a capacity of 30,000 tons, seems like a lot. This is just a small goal of ours, not worth mentioning. We will have more cargo/oil tankers in global shipping in the future; the third The problem is that the sea is ruthless, but as long as you follow its temper, you will be smooth sailing and unimpeded!"

"I have answered all three questions. Let me tell you one more thing. The shipbuilding industry in the United States has had a difficult time in recent years. The cost has increased significantly, so that shipbuilders have begun to develop outward. I am doing business for you in the United States. It can be said that I am your God!"

After listening to Wu Guangyao's words, Fisher behind the reporter applauded first, obviously agreeing with Wu Guangyao's words!

As the rightful owner agrees, the American reporter can only bow his head in shame!

Wu Guangyao then pointed to a British reporter. It is better to gnaw these difficult bones first while taking advantage of the momentum!

"Mr. Wu, are you Chinese or British?" This is the third question asked by the British reporter, which is full of political bias.

Wu Guangyao said without hesitation: "I am a Chinese from Hong Kong Island!"

Now London politicians definitely want to win over him, but Wu Guangyao has his own bottom line!

Even if it has favored London for decades, it will never confront the mainland and harm the interests of the Chinese people!

Bao Yugang, the ship tycoon of later generations, is a British citizen. Bao Yugang explained that all this is for the convenience of doing business.

Wu Guangyao can understand that he is not strong enough, so he needs to do this!

But Wu Guangyao is different. As a native of Hong Kong Island, he will not be naturalized even if British and American politicians give him more benefits!

Of course, Wu Guangyao is very interested in finding some British and American women and developing several British and American Wu families!

All in all, the Wu family can have multiple branches, but the main family must be Chinese!
