I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

At the media conference, Wu Guangyao was full of vigor and humor, and was well received by the media people present.

But it is conceivable that when European and American journalists return to their home countries and publish news, Wu Guangyao will definitely become an arrogant Chinese boy!

This is the double standard that European and American media have always liked!

Moreover, Europeans and Americans who have always prided themselves on being high above absolutely do not want a Chinese 'ship king' to rise!

The Japanese media will definitely sing their praises, because the ships of the global shipping are basically chartered to their countries, and the prices are much cheaper, which obviously contributes to their economic development.

Dongying media always like to refer to Wu Guangyao as "a good friend of Dongying people".

Not to mention the media on Hong Kong Island, that is Wu Guangyao's base camp, and there will never be any bad voices.

After the media meeting, Mark Shipyard also arranged a banquet on the cruise ship.

"I didn't expect Mr. Wu to take the lead in the media meeting I organized with great pains!" Fisher walked up to Wu Guangyao and made a harmless joke.

"Promote global shipping, it is at the global mark shipyard, I believe that more ship owners will find mark to build new ships!"

"Borrow your good words! Let's go, let's meet some friends!"

Fisher obviously has more energy in Dongying than Wu Guangyao. He introduced to Wu Guangyao all the senior officials of the Dongying government. There are three cabinet ministers, including the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry that Wu Guangyao met last time.

Wu Guangyao's strength has gone a step further, and the three cabinet ministers representing the official Dongying are naturally very enthusiastic. After all, shipping is indispensable for economic development in this era.

Without ships, overseas resources and domestic products cannot be circulated, hindering economic development.

Of course, Wu Guangyao's business is also inseparable from Dongying for the time being, the two parties are mutually beneficial!

 …

The plane slowly stopped at Kai Tak Airport, and Wu Guangyao stepped out of the cabin and set foot on the land of Hong Kong Island.

He couldn't help complaining to He Yuanzhang next to him: "If time permits, I will never take a plane, I would rather be a ship."

He Yuanzhang looked very embarrassed,

Because the plane encountered the airflow just now and swayed greatly, I couldn't help but spit it out!

"Airplanes are indeed not as reliable as ships!" He Yuanzhang said embarrassingly.

Wu Guangyao was noncommittal. The reason why he complained just now was because the plane was violently shaken by the airflow on the way, and Wu Guangyao's heartbeat reached his throat.

Because the current propeller (reciprocating) aircraft can only fly at low altitude, it is seriously affected by the airflow;

And propeller plane speed is very slow, and propeller plane is to make plane fly forward by the power that propeller produces when rotating.

But when the rotation speed of the propeller and the flight speed of the aircraft reach a certain level, it is no longer possible to increase the speed of the propeller to make the aircraft faster.

Therefore, jet aircraft is the general trend, but it will take the mid-to-late 1950s for the technology to mature. In the 1960s, it was already the only choice for medium and long distances.

Of course, Wu Guangyao would never fly if it was a 'comet' jet plane made in England, it is a plane leading to hell.

The truly reliable aircraft of this era is Boeing's aircraft!

Wu Guangyao raised his left hand, and the diamond-encrusted gold watch made by Lao Fengxiang showed his rich side, and the diamonds and gold shone dazzlingly.

It was 2:30 in the afternoon, obviously going to work at the company.

"Let's go back to Universal Building together!"

Back at Universal Building, Wu Guangyao first called London to ask the staff there to start looking for shipping companies interested in selling second-hand boats.

Global Shipping's building new ships does not mean giving up buying second-hand ships. After all, the past few years are the best time for the Far East shipping industry!

However, HSBC Bank will not lend to Global Shipping in recent years, so it can only rely on Global Shipping's own profits to purchase!

Wu Guangyao estimated that from 1952 to 1953, in addition to the repayment of the profits in these two years, it is estimated that he could buy more than a dozen 10,000-ton second-hand cargo/oil tankers.

The Korean War ended in 1953, but the shipping industry will not be in a recession. It can only be said that the freight rate will drop a little.

Therefore, in the two years from 1954 to 1955, the profit of global shipping in the past two years, in addition to the repayment, could also add six to seven 10,000-ton second-hand ships (because more than a dozen freighters were added, the freight rate was reduced, but the number of ships increased. ).

If the Korean War was an opportunity for the shipping industry in the Far East, then the Second Middle East War that occurred in October 1956 was an opportunity for shipping on European and American routes.

At that time, the freight to Europe and the United States will increase several times, and Wu Guangyao's fleet will be doubled in one year.

Wu Guangyao always likes to sort out the memories in his mind, so as not to be forgotten.

As for the record, Wu Guangyao would not consider it at all, because his goal is too big, and it is inevitable that commercial spies will follow him.

If I record future events, won't I be dissected by those laboratories!

 …

After staying on Hong Kong Island for a week, Wu Guangyao had to say goodbye to his family and go to London.

The bumps along the way have no comfort at all, and the occasional violent bumps make people nervous!

After getting off the plane, the staff here drove Wu Guangyao to Kaila's new residence, a single-family European-style building.

The two have not seen each other for four months, because Keira has been pregnant for more than 9 months, and it is no longer convenient to come to Hong Kong Island to meet Wu Guangyao.

Knocking on the door, what opened was a fifty-year-old London aunt. Wu Guangyao's keen eyes quickly discovered that this aunt was not easy!

Because she is somewhat similar to Kayla!

Wu Guangyao began to get nervous, Wu Guangyao was a little at a loss because of the suppression of his mother-in-law's blood!

Seeing that it was an Asian knocking on the door, the aunt quickly changed from calm to indifferent, and said, "Your name is Wu Guangyao?"

Hearing these words, Wu Guangyao was sure that this aunt must be Kaila's mother, or at least a relative.

Wu Guangyao, who was at fault, naturally didn't dare to make a mistake, so he quickly responded and said hello!

Fortunately, Kaila also came to the door, and threw herself into Wu Guangyao's arms regardless of her mother!

The arrival of Keira relieved Wu Guangyao's tension and embarrassment in time!

Just when the two were hugging each other, Kayla's mother's voice came: "Slow down, you are about to give birth, don't exercise too much and be nervous?"

The two separated and went upstairs. Keira kept introducing to Wu Guangyao how she handled the production and prepared for those jobs.

During dinner, Wu Guangyao finally met Kaila's family!

Keira's parents, Keira's older brother.

Because of his wrongdoing, Wu Guangyao did not put on his usual strong style, but appeared to be very honest!

And Kaila's family, obviously restraining their anger, is obviously due to Kaila!

Keira's mother, from the moment she opened the door, didn't have a good attitude and was always in a state of indifference.

Kaila's father was a gray-haired old man, but his eyes were shrewd, and his attitude towards Wu Guangyao seemed to be negotiable.

Keira's elder brother is a strong white man, and he is obviously the person who is most dissatisfied with Wu Guangyao. If it weren't for Keira, Wu Guangyao felt that there was going to be a showdown!

Good guy, feel your own territory, a group of enemies are coming!

In fact, Wu Guangyao proposed this meeting, but let Keira do the work in advance to avoid conflicts!

The family has always wondered why such an excellent and beautiful girl, Keira, would fall in love with an Asian, even an Asian with a wife.

But after seeing Wu Guangyao, they had to admit that Wu Guangyao had enough charm to attract a girl, even though he was an Asian.
