I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

At the end of July, in Panmunjom, China, the United States, and North Korea finally signed an armistice agreement.

The people of Hong Kong Island are naturally very happy, after all, the economy of Hong Kong Island is greatly affected by this aspect

The war is gone, and the economy of Hong Kong Island should also develop.

Southeast Asian funds began to gather in Hong Kong Island, and the hottest industry was of course real estate.

However, Changjiang Industrial under Wu Guangyao still did not choose to develop its own land, but took over the cooperation of a British foreign company, so that Changjiang Industrial almost just continued the Shengshi Huating project.

After all, there is still a year and a half before 1955, so we have to wait for anything to say, and the development of high-rise buildings is more than twice as profitable as it is now!

At the end of August, Wu Guangyao met an unexpected person at the Peninsula Hotel, that is Onassis.

Onassis is indeed as arrogant and conceited as recorded in historical records, because he is very restrained because he asks Wu Guangyao

But Wu Guangyao is best at capturing people's facial expressions, even if they pass by in a flash, he can't escape his eyes.

"Mr. Onassis came from afar just to persuade me to withdraw from this plan?"

"Mr. Wu, you have to understand that although your strength is not weak, it is not enough in the eyes of European and American shipowners, so this plan is not suitable for you."

"Mr. Onassis must think that the old king can't get through, and intends to get through the relationship with the crown prince, but the crown prince doesn't approve of you, right?"

"Yes, the crown prince seems to have been bought by you, so I only recognize you! Mr. Wu, please make an offer. I came from afar with sincerity!"

Wu Guangyao sneered in his heart, with sincerity? Doesn't this guy know he's not short of money?

Pretending to think for a while, Wu Guangyao said: "Well, I have to participate in this plan, but I don't want many shares, 10 is enough for Onassis to pay, and my activity expenses are 500,000 US dollars as compensation. If Onassis is reluctant, so I plan to give it a go and see what the European and American shipowners will do to me?"

Upon hearing this, Onassis immediately said, "Okay, Mr. Wu is refreshing, it's a deal!"

Of course Onassis agreed readily, because at this time he already knew that this plan would not work with the old king, but it was definitely possible with the crown prince.

The old king may have only one or two years to live, and I can afford to wait this little time.

After Onassis left, Wu Guangyao smiled smugly. He may not even need to send a ship to Saudi Arabia for this plan. He Yuanzhang just needs to be sent to sign a contract on behalf of Global Shipping.

Because this contract to monopolize Saudi Arabia’s oil transportation was exposed less than half a month ago, under the pressure of Aramco’s resistance, European and American shipowners’ resistance, and world public opinion, the young king unilaterally tore up the contract.

Needless to say, the most stressful is definitely the new king and the current crown prince, followed by Onassis. As for global shipping, it may just be famous, there is a fart pressure

At the end of September, Hong Kong Island Airlines ushered in a major personnel change. Wu Guangyao appointed a new president, a new financial manager and other positions, and rectified the personnel of Hong Kong Island Airlines. Few of the front management chose to leave, and most of them either stayed in their original positions. , or downgraded to deputy.

The attitude of Jardine Matheson this time is relatively friendly, and the two sides did not conflict on this.

After arranging the pilots and flight attendants, and going to London for training on the new airliner, the next step is to set up offices in various places.

At present, Hong Kong Island Airlines only has five routes: Seoul, Tokyo, Osaka, Taipei, and Manila, but Wu Guangyao believes that as long as it operates properly and grabs customers from European and American airlines, Hong Kong Island Airlines will become a local airline on the same scale as Cathay Pacific. airline.

The most important of these should be the two airlines of Japan, so Wu Guangyao recruited most of the Japanese girls to work as stewardesses for the two airlines, allowing customers to enjoy kneeling service, God-like service.

Hong Kong Island Airlines emphasizes Asian characteristics, and the characteristics of each route have local characteristics at both ends. In this way, passengers will feel familiar.

From flight attendants to meals, customers can welcome the characteristics of their own country and region

November 1953,

The old king who established the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia died of illness, and Wu Guangyao knew that a storm was coming.

The new king successfully succeeded to the throne, Wu Guangyao personally rushed to Saudi Arabia, gave his own gift, and made casual contact with each other.

Two months later, Onassis, World Shipping and the King of Saudi Arabia signed the Jeddah Agreement that shocked the world's business community.

The agreement stipulates: the establishment of "Saudi Arabia Oil Tanker Shipping Co., Ltd.", the company has a fleet of 700,000 tons of oil tankers, all of which hang the flag of Saudi Arabia. The company has the monopoly of oil transportation in the oil fields of Saudi Arabia, and the shareholder of the company is the King of Saudi Arabia. 50 shares, Onassis 40 shares, Global Shipping 10 shares.

The signing of the agreement declared the success of Onassis. Of course, Wu Guangyao's goal has also been achieved.

Once this agreement is fully implemented, Saudi Arabia, Onassis, and Global Shipping will get whatever they want.

However, as soon as this agreement was released, it was met with strong resistance from the powerful Aramco oil company. At the same time, American and European shipowners also joined the opposition camp, and world public opinion was "condemning" this agreement.

At the same time, the United States contacted another Greek ship tycoon, Onassis' opponent and brother-in-law who married the daughter of the old Greek ship tycoon, and asked him to slander that Onassis tricked the young king into obtaining this agreement.

World Shipping also became famous all at once, and Global Shipping, which is not well-known in Europe and America, also caught everyone's eyes at once.

Many people are asking, what size shipping company is Global Shipping, and it deserves to join this team?

After getting to know them a little bit, they naturally added Global Shipping and Wu Guangyao to the crusade team.

The young king, unable to face accusations from the United States and other developed countries, took the lead in unilaterally tearing up the contract.

Onassis was also helpless, the European and American media did not even give him a chance to defend himself, so he had to swallow the bitter pill, and he lost hundreds of millions of dollars at once!

Wu Guangyao felt much better, the sky was falling, and a tall man was holding it up!

The key is to understand in my heart that compared to Global Shipping's popularity, what does the media scold me in the newspaper?

Besides, whoever is scolding me is just some shipowners, and those oil companies will pay attention to me instead.

"A good fortune is lost, but a good fortune is not known." Although Onassis and Wu Guangyao failed, their reputations were greatly shaken and they became the focus of attention of the whole world.

The hundreds of millions of dollars lost are intangible assets, and they made the most expensive advertisement in the world for Onassis and Wu Guangyao!

Global Shipping has received seven 30,000-ton tankers, and has successively received several orders in Europe and the United States, but the profits are very high.

With the same distance, the profit in Europe is about 18 times that of Japan. This profit is enough to make Wu Guangyao feel that this adventure is worthwhile.

Moreover, news came from He Yuanzhang, who is far away in Europe, that many oil companies have begun to inquire about Global Shipping, intending to cooperate.

Compared with Onassis, the price of global shipping is cheaper. Of course, the only thing that worries these oil companies is, what is the quality of the seafarers of global shipping?

But this is simple, He Yuanzhang said directly, just give Global Shipping a chance!

Global shipping only needs one chance to prove itself!

The Global Maritime Academy has been established for so many years, and it has long had a world-class teaching system, and the seamen it trains are definitely not inferior to those in Europe and the United States.

Of course, the European and American routes are also equipped with a very small number of European and American seamen, and these seamen have also received short-term training from the Global Academy.
