I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

Chapter 242 [Kwai Chung Container Terminal]

Wu Guangyao returned to Hong Kong Island alone, and Lin Yueru returned to Hong Kong Island earlier.

This time, when Wu Guangyao boarded his own flight, all the stewardesses looked at him with fanaticism, which made Wu Guangyao a little confused!

Called the chief purser and asked: "I feel that everyone looks at me a little strangely, what's going on?"

The purser is a white man, half kneeling in front of Wu Guangyao, very tempting.

"They discussed your stalwart deeds in Japan in private, and they may have a little admiration for you!"

"That's it! I thought something happened! Well, I got it, you go down!" Wu Guangyao finally understood the situation, and wanted to send the seductive purser away as soon as possible. Seeing that he was really suffering.

"I admire you too!" The purser not only did not leave, but leaned forward a little.

Wu Guangyao looked at this situation, but he didn't understand;

This beautiful woman can be ridden by herself at any time!

It's a pity that if you do something, you have to pay the price, so bear with it!

"Go to work, the passengers should have an opinion!"

The purser blushed, and his bold confession was ignored by the boss, he was so ashamed!

 …

When Wu Guangyao returned to Hong Kong Island, the first stop was the Governor's Mansion, where he met the Governor Ge Lianghong.

"Mr. Wu, your so-called container shipping concept is only in its infancy in the United States and has not yet developed; how can you be sure that it will succeed in Hong Kong Island?" Ge Lianghong asked curiously.

When Wu Guangyao met the Prime Minister in Dongying, Ge Lianghong naturally knew that the growth of this Chinese was too fast;

London has already intended to award him a title;

With such a character, London has long wanted to win him over!

However, Ge Lianghong is obviously skeptical of the concept of container shipping advocated by the Chinese businessman, saying that the future port operation method will be dominated by containers (containers).

Seeing that Ge Lianghong’s attitude was not clear, Wu Guangyao adjusted his lines and said: “The current port model is that goods are loaded in sacks, barrels and wooden boxes, and dozens of dock workers are crowded on the deck or below. In a narrow space, such time-consuming should obviously be eliminated."

"The container not only protects the product, but when the ship is in port, truck chassis and vans can pull them away without repacking."

"The final thing is that because of the standard shape of the container, the cargo ship can carry several times more cargo, which will greatly reduce the freight cost."

Wu Guangyao's efforts finally paid off, or Governor Ge Lianghong noticed the news from Dongying from the very beginning, and finally approved a very large piece of land for Wu Guangyao-the lot from Kwai Chung No. 1 to Kwai Chung No. 3 Container Terminal.

This made Wu Guangyao overjoyed!

Although there are nine container terminals in the Kwai Chung area in later generations, no company can monopolize three container terminals!

There are nine container terminals in Kwai Chung in later generations, and there are even several large companies operating one terminal.

Wu Guangyao attaches great importance to container shipping, thinking that it is more important than planning the Jeddah Agreement.

If it succeeds, it will bring countless fame and money to global shipping!

For this plan, Wu Guangyao asked Global Shipping to raise US$10 million (mainly a loan) to be allocated to the subsidiary Global Terminal Management Company.

In order to achieve the effect of shipping linkage, Global Shipping has added more than a dozen subsidiaries, such as truck management companies, container production companies, warehouse management companies, logistics companies, and so on.

In short, the entire project can only be operated by a group company, so as to achieve one-stop service for containers!

A vigorous shipping revolution began to be born in the hands of Wu Guangyao...

Cargo ship modification, wharf construction, container design, crane hanger system, truck freight system, central control command system, etc. are all going on at the same time.

There are many cooperative companies in the United States, Europe, and Japan. Hong Kong Island also hired experts from all over the world to participate in this project.

 …

In July, the hot summer made people miss the days of future generations in air-conditioned rooms, but this idea was quickly dismissed by Wu Guangyao;

That kind of day is not worthy of me, only the day when I hoe the grain at noon, and the day when the sweat drops into the soil, is my destination.

Wearing a safety helmet, Wu Guangyao came to the Kwai Chung Container Terminal under the leadership of Li Ming, President of Global Terminals.

Kwai Chung Container Terminal is divided into three phases of construction projects, that is, Pier 1, 2 and 3, covering a total area of ​​1,600 mu, which belongs to the sole proprietorship construction and operation of Global Shipping.

Global Shipping was able to win the Kwai Chung Container Terminal so smoothly, because of the intention of the British Hong Kong government/London to win over Wu Guangyao, and also because of the strong support of HSBC;

After all, HSBC Bank accounts for 22% of the shares of Global Shipping, so why not fully support it.

At present, Hong Kong Island First Construction is working hard to build the Kwai Chung Container Terminal No. 1, and the No. 2 and No. 3 terminals have not yet broken ground.

The Global Terminal Company concentrated all its efforts, and in the summer of 1955, the construction of Pier 1 was about to be completed.

"Well, I see you have worked hard in the past six months, tell me how you feel!" Walking around the pier, workers were busy, and there seemed to be nothing to visit, so Wu Guangyao started to visit his own capable men.

When Li Ming heard it, his dark skin showed two rows of yellow teeth, and he seemed to be a drug addict.

Li Ming said with a smile: "It's not so much hard work, but I see it as a one-point achievement. I think it's my honor and glory to be able to participate in such a great project. I rest tired every night. Go down, and get up in the morning full of motivation, I think this is probably the charm of this project!"

"That's right, career is the spiritual pillar of a man! But you've traveled all over the world this year, your wife won't complain, right?"

"She dares, she dares to complain when a man is working hard outside, that's fine!"

Wu Guangyao was stunned. He was better at dealing with women than he was when it came to feelings!

.....

In early September, Dongying, Tokyo.

Walking into Lenovo Radio Factory (formerly Qiaoxing Radio Factory), Wu Guangyao felt that the changes were really great!

Every employee has a sense of urgency, because Lenovo Radio Factory is producing a product of the times, and everyone is striving for every minute and every second.

Walking into the workshop that has been doubled in size, more than 800 workers are busy. Seeing Wu Guangyao and Matsumoto Ichiro walk in, no one pays attention and concentrate on their work.

"President, there are a total of 800 workers, and 600 workers are working overtime to produce the new transistor radio tr-66, and the remaining 200 people are still producing tube radios." Ichiro Matsumoto introduced to Wu Guangyao.

"Give me a tr-66 radio!"

"Hi!"

This is a radio weighing only 500 grams, with a height of 15 cm, a width of 10 cm, and a thickness of only 3 cm. It is very convenient to carry and can be put into many pockets of clothes.

tr-66 contains 4 germanium transistors inside, and germanium is a semiconductor material; metals such as gold, silver, copper and iron have good electrical conductivity and are called conductors. Wood, glass, ceramics, mica, etc. do not conduct electricity easily and are called insulators. A substance whose conductivity is between that of a conductor and an insulator is called a semiconductor.

Transistors are made of semiconductor materials, the most common of which are germanium and silicon.

Because the internal 4 germanium transistors occupy a small volume, and because the transistors consume less power, the interior is no longer like a tube radio. There are many tubes and batteries, so it can be small and light, and easy to carry.

"Has the cost calculation been figured out?" Wu Guangyao said with a little expectation. The production cost in Japan must be lower than that in the United States, so Wu Guangyao hopes to have a good cost so that he can make more money.

"It's between $20 and $24, because it's being mass-produced now, so the specifics haven't been calculated yet!"

Wu Guangyao was stunned, because he knew that after a while, a manufacturer in the United States would sell them for $50 each.

In this case, even if I sell it for 40 dollars, I have an absolute advantage; then I can earn about 15 dollars for such a machine, and the profit is as high as 35%!

You know, there is a phenomenon in the electrical appliance industry in Japan, that is, the profit of electrical appliances is generally 6% to 10%, in order to compete with American products.

If I said that I could make a 35% profit in this case, wouldn't it make these people envious and jealous?

Of course, this thing is easy to imitate. The six major electrical appliance companies in Japan can manufacture it in at most three months, and it is inevitable that they will have to cut prices by then.

It seems that I have to spend three months to start my Lenovo brand radio well.

"Our pricing is set at $39.98 each!"

"Is it a bit high!"

Matsumoto Ichiro's heart almost jumped violently at this time, this boss is too dark-hearted!

Wu Guangyao looked at Ichiro Matsumoto, his expression could be seen all over the place, so he could only guess what he was thinking!

"Let me ask you, is knowledge worth money?"

“Great value for money!”

"Then the first transistor radio changed the bulky image of the radio and allowed people to listen to the Walkman, isn't that knowledge?"

"Hi, thank you President for your education!"

"Well, you have to remember that our Lenovo tr-66 is aimed at high-end customers in Europe, America and Japan. The product sells high-tech, quality, and life! So, I am teaching you how to promote it. Organized A unique advertising campaign. That is, let all young employees carry TR-66 on the way to work every day, deliberately amplify the volume on the tram, as if intoxicated, and hire students to walk in the pedestrian area where vehicles are not allowed in the downtown area of ​​Tokyo , wearing tr-66 to show off in the city. Let people wear tr-66 on roller skates and skate around the street; give tr-66 to famous singers and foreign music groups who come to Japan to perform for free... "

"Hey, the president is the best businessman in the world. I want to implement these methods in the United States, Europe, and Japan, and strive to quickly open up the market."

On September 10th, the Lenovo tr-66 radio was launched in Dongying, which caused a huge industry sensation. The six major electrical appliance manufacturers began to buy back samples to prepare for R\u0026D and manufacturing.

On September 20th, Lenovo tr-66 radios were sold in major cities in the United States, and Lenovo Group shouted the slogan "Walkman"!

On September 25th, Lenovo tr-66 radios began to be sold in European countries such as Britain, France, Germany, Netherlands, and Italy. …

The sales price of Lenovo tr-66 radio is divided into two types: US$45 for Europe and US, US$35 for Dongying, and comes with a condom, but it costs US$3 to purchase;

The living standards in Europe, America and Japan are different, and the prices fluctuate a bit.

Based on the historical annual sales volume of 15,000 units in the United States, Wu Guangyao calculated that the global sales volume should be 30,000 units a year, so the monthly production of tr-66 at Qiaoxing Plant is planned to be around 3,000 units.

Thanks to Wu Guangyao's preparation, otherwise the tr-66 might be out of stock.

The success of Lenovo tr-66 announced in Japan that Lenovo Electric will most likely become the seventh giant in Japan, as reported by the people of Japan.

After reading this news, Wu Guangyao didn't feel anything abnormal. After all, except for the majority shareholder of Lenovo who is not from Dongying, the rest are basically from Dongying.

Wu Guangyao also intends to use Dongying as a springboard to establish a worldwide electrical company!

As for Dongying people who like self-promotion, then let yourself be self-proclaimed!

Wu Guangyao's grievances can still be tolerated, and when he shares the profits that should belong to them later, he should laugh to himself!
