When he returned to Hong Kong Island, Wu Guangyao learned something, but he didn't take it too seriously;

That is, Bao Yu had just purchased a thousand-ton cargo ship from London and spent a full £200,000.

From this incident, we can see that the second-hand cargo ships under Wu Guangyao have not only not depreciated, but have appreciated over the years!

To explain it in economics, it is inflation.

When Wu Guangyao bought the first freighter, he only used 400,000 US dollars (he told a message and also reduced 50,000 US dollars per ship). According to the exchange rate at that time, it was only equivalent to 100,000 pounds.

Of course, in October 1949, the British pound depreciated sharply by 30% against the US dollar, which also had a certain relationship.

If the pound depreciates, the Hong Kong dollar will naturally depreciate. After all, the fixed exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the pound is 16:1.

As the Hong Kong dollar depreciates, prices will naturally rise, and workers' wages will also rise very quickly. Of course, no matter how fast the wages in Hong Kong rise, they are not as fast as Japan.

Wu Guangyao has somewhat changed some history. I remember that Bao Yu had just borrowed money from him to purchase "banned" materials, but Wu Guangyao agreed. Later, Bao Yugang told himself that he earned 150,000 Hong Kong dollars that time.

Not only did he return his principal of 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, but he also gave him 10,000 Hong Kong dollars interest, which was put into the drawer by Wu Guangyao.

Over the years, Bao Yugang has earned more than 150,000 Hong Kong dollars with the capital that was originally 150,000 Hong Kong dollars more than history.

I guess there shouldn’t be much loan for buying a cargo ship of 200,000 pounds!

When he heard that Bao Yugang also bought a cargo ship, Wu Guangyao had a whim and invited several Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai ship owners from Hong Kong Island to prepare for an industry exchange conference, and Bao Yugang was also invited.

With Wu Guangyao's load capacity of nearly 2 million tons, it is not wrong to say that others are small shrimps and crabs;

However, Wu Guangyao intends to support the shipowner of Hong Kong Island, so he will naturally not suppress anyone.

So far, Wu Guangyao has not opened any shipping business on Hong Kong Island, except for this container shipping.

In June 1953, Global Shipping was a second-hand ship of 650,000 tons, a new oil tanker of 450,000 tons, with a total load capacity of 1.1 million tons;

After two years of development, Global Shipping already has 1.2 million tons of second-hand ships and 800,000 tons of new oil tankers (including tankers under construction).

There are several reasons why it develops so quickly:

First, because of the "Jeddah Agreement" incident, Global Shipping not only did not boycott, but became famous. Many European and American oil companies were willing to cooperate with Global Shipping. The prices were lower than those of European and American, Greek, and Japan ship owners; all crew members were trained by the Maritime Academy and were professional enough; these are the reasons why European and American oil companies were willing to cooperate with Global Shipping.

Second, after HSBC acquired a stake in Global Shipping, it not only relaxed its conditions on loans, but also used its relationships in Europe to introduce its business.

Third, Wu Guangyao intentionally wanted to own as many ships as possible before the Second Middle East War. No matter how much global shipping owes, it would be enough to pay it all off during the year when Suez was blocked.

Although Wu Guangyao didn’t know how much freight increased during that year?

But Wu Guangyao knew that Bao Yugang's "Kingsoft" happened to expire before the contract expired, and the Japanese Shanxia Steamship Company spent several times the price to renew the contract with the "Kingsoft".

How many times?

Japan has been several times more than it has, and Europe and the United States are at least more than three times more.

As the saying goes, this is the reason for working for three years!

Bao Yu just used that fee to buy several ships, and his luck was better than Wu Guangyao's!

The day before preparing for the party with the owners, the Hong Kong government suddenly called Wu Guangyao and asked him to go to the Governor's Office.

Wu Guangyao seemed to know something, but he was not sure, so he came to the Hong Kong government with excitement.

It was indeed a matter of awarding titles. Wu Guangyao will go to London in September to accept the title of the British girl~Wang Wang.

This title will not bring any substantial benefits to Wu Guangyao, but it can play a good protective role; if it is returned, you will not even want this title to be given to yourself; but now it is different. The future security of Hong Kong Island is so poor, so this title can still scare some people.

I don’t know what happened, why did Wu Guangyao be awarded the title of the queen be leaked? It caused a huge sensation in Hong Kong Island for a while!

You should know that the title of Jazz is much harder to get than that of the Justice of the Peace;

The Hong Kong government has the right to decide, and the title of jazz must be something that the British royal family can only decide.

In terms of quantity, the Justice of the Peace has also increased dozens of times the number of people!

A 25-year-old colonial jazz is quite rare;

But the people of Hong Kong Island take it for granted. With Wu Guangyao's career achievements today, what's wrong with winning the title of baron?

On Hong Kong Island, 20,000 people are working for Wu Guangyao. Together with the number of related families, 100,000 people have to be related to Wu Guangyao. Sometimes the Hong Kong government is afraid of this issue. If Wu Guangyao has political inclinations, it may cause a super riot on Hong Kong Island.

Not only that, Wu Guangyao was a guest of honor for the Prime Minister and Cabinet Minister in Japan; in Europe and the United States, he was a shipping star and a trustworthy ship owner; in the world, he was the pioneer in modern containers, and he was the "Zipper King" who took the lead in producing non-metal zippers......

If London doesn’t win over so many achievements, it would be too blind!

Many friends called to congratulate him, and Wu Guangyao always said carelessly: "It's just a false name!"

The more Wu Guangyao was underestimated, the more these friends felt that Wu Guangyao was unfathomable. This ambition was probably not limited to a small island, but a business tycoon in the world!

Indeed, it is normal for young people to have such ambitions!

Fusheng Hotel

Wu Guangyao, Dong Haoyun, Zhao Congyan, Cao Wenjin, Bao Yugang and other shipowners from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai gathered together.

Wu Guangyao and several others have contacts, and everyone will occasionally gather together to share their experiences.

As for the so-called competition, it seems that the business of several people does not overlap very much; of course, even if it overlaps, there is no way, so it is not necessary to ask others to give up.

Zhao Congyan and Cao Wenjin have traveled several times to the Korean Peninsula in the past few years. They made a lot of risky money by making a fortune, but both of them were able to stop, bought the profits they earned, and started their business in Japan.

Dong Haoyun has supported the support of the local government of Taiwan and has made a lot of money in recent years and has worked hard to expand the fleet.

Only Bao Yugang is a novice in shipping, and even Bao Yugang is a little confused about why Wu Guangyao is so supportive of himself!

Thinking back to the beginning, even HSBC was unwilling to lend money to him, so this person lent it to him without hesitation;

Until now, I have just bought a cargo ship and brought myself to make friends with these shipping seniors.

If the two are very close, it wouldn’t be because their friendship is common and is not enough to support this kind of support!

Maybe this new jazz has always been happy to give!

"Everyone, I will introduce you to a shipping novice, Mr. Bao Yugang next to my left hand. Although he entered the industry late, I believe that with his experience as a banker, he will definitely make achievements in the shipping industry in the future!" Wu Guangyao introduced to several people.

Bao Yuzhang was flattered. If he could get the support of several shipping seniors, he would definitely be able to avoid many detours.

"Thank you for your support, thank you for your seniors. I have first entered this trip and have bet on my entire wealth and Zhan Zhan Weiwei. If you have anything to understand in the future, I hope you will support you for a few things, and I will never forget it."

Everyone was polite, mainly for Wu Guangyao's sake, and would not reject the new shipowner.

"Guangyao, is your container shipping a big deal? I heard that the profit is quite high?" Dong Haoyun asked enthusiastically.

"If you have any problems, you may have to experience it yourself, because Global Shipping has only been running for more than a month and I dare not make a promise. If you are interested, you can try a boat first, or you can wait and see! If you are interested, just contact Global Container Service Company and we can provide all technical support." Wu Guangyao said.

Global Container Services has more than a dozen subsidiaries, including containers, terminals, freight, loading and unloading, cargo ship transformation services, and provides a full set of container shipping services.

As long as you have money, you can get into this business!

"Then wait, let's see what the situation is!" Dong Haoyun saw that Wu Guangyao did not give a positive answer, and he thought this person was not sure.

He has been kind to Wu Guangyao, so he doesn't need to lie to himself.

"Well, in half a year, you can come and investigate."

In later generations, Bao Yugang, Dong Haoyun and Zhao Congyan were good friends, and the development focus of the three-person shipping was also different.

Dong's Oriental Overseas specializes in containers, Bao Yugang's main force is oil tankers, and Zhao Congyan has always regarded bulk cargo ships as the focus.

Of course, everyone has other businesses, but they only have primary and secondary development directions!

As for Cao Wenjin this year, in 1955, he first cooperated with Dongying Pharmaceutical Company and became an agent; although Cao Wenjin has been developing shipping, it is very scattered. He cooperated with governments such as Malay and Thailand to establish many shipping companies.

In this life, these people's business is destined to shrink a lot, because Wu Guangyao, the super ship king, was born.

In fact, Wu Guangyao wants to divide the interests of ship owners in Japan, Greece, and Europe and the United States, and has always planned to win over ship owners of Hong Kong Island; however, when they develop to a certain level in the future, they will inevitably squeeze their living space.

"Brother Cao, you picked up a textile factory in Malay last year, and this year you cooperated with Dongying Pharmaceutical and Chemical Industry to tell you if you want to abandon the ship and land? Or, are you not optimistic about the shipping industry?" Zhao Congyan asked Cao Wenjin.

Everyone looked at Cao Wenjin together, and Bao Yugang was even more nervous. He had just entered the industry, would he still encounter the shipping winter?

"Brother Zhao was joking. The shipping industry will only become more and more prosperous. How could I not be optimistic! I just believe in a philosophical principle - called egg philosophy, which means diversifying investment and diversifying risks! Look at Guangyao, his industrial layout, and you will know how perfect it is!" Cao Wenjin looked at Wu Guangyao with envy on his face.

Seeing that the topic was brought to him, Wu Guangyao had to spread his hands, unable to explain!

"I am very optimistic about the shipping industry, especially the shipping industry in Hong Kong. Think about it, if the world is becoming more and more peaceful, then only by developing the economy, trade between countries will become more and more frequent. What mode of transportation is it? From the perspective of the development of the United States, the number of cars in the industry is getting higher and higher, and the industry is becoming more and more developed, and the demand for more and more oil will be increased, and the same is true for other countries. So, it is right to develop shipping!" Wu Guangyao generously said the future trend, of course, it is reasonable and well-founded.

Everyone nodded. Everyone knew some of these principles, but Wu Guangyao said it as if it was more convincing!

Then, everyone discussed what happened to shipping. If anyone had any questions, everyone would not hide their own answers.

This atmosphere moved Bao Yugang very much!

This is a shipping novice, and you have found the organization!
