After a week of acquisition, Everbright Securities won 780,000 shares of China Gas stock, and the share price of China Gas also rose to HK$5.5 per share.

After this Zhou Zhang, Jardines Foreign Company's plan to maliciously acquire China Gas failed and came to an abrupt end;

Of course, this may be a rumor. I don’t know who spreads a rumor, and its purpose may be to speculate on stock prices.

After Wu Guangyao acquired 10% of China Gas shares, he did not propose to join the China Gas board of directors;

Instead, it seemed that he had forgotten this incident, which made the two major families of Huidefeng secretly convinced him. It was indeed the shark gall that kept his promise!

......

It was another spring, and at the Global Group Board of Directors, Wu Guangyao once again proposed to purchase the ship;

At this time, the ships that had been launched in Global Shipping reached 12 million tons, and the ships under construction reached 3 million tons, with a total load capacity of 15 million tons.

At this moment, the total load capacity of global shipping has exceeded that of Soviet ocean-going merchant ships, and this is the load capacity of the United States ocean-going merchant ships.

Compared with a private fleet, this is a qualification that the ship king has;

Compared with major powers such as Britain, France, Germany, Russia and Japan, only Global Shipping has this qualification!

The world-renowned Onassis is a ship with a load capacity of only 4 million tons. It is a bit inconsistent with the name of the "World Ship King".

However, because Onassis has always been high-profile, although she is over 60 years old, she is still energetic and keeps news;

Onassis claims to smoke 60 cigarettes a day and sipping black whiskey.

Western media have always liked to interview Onassis, but Wu Guangyao naturally rarely accepts interviews;

Even if he was received by leaders of various countries and could not avoid the subsequent interviews, Wu Guangyao's words were justified and there was no news exaggeration, so the Western media naturally gave up.

It is precisely because of this that Wu Guangyao's name is generally only known to industry insiders.

The two HSBC shareholders looked serious, and it was obvious that it was a bit difficult to accept that they would invest another $300 million to build a 2 million-ton ship.

Sandas said worriedly: "As far as we know, the global shipping ships had a vacancy rate of 10% last year. After the subsequent 3 million tons of ships were launched, it would increase the vacancy rate; if another 2 million tons of ships were added, it would probably...."

HSBC’s worries are reasonable. What makes people misunderstand is that Wu Guangyao has been doing shipping for nearly twenty years, but he has never cashed out a penny and has invested tens of millions of dollars in the money he earned from the zipper.

Don't he want to put his money in peace?

He Yuanzhang was the first to express his support and said, "Mr. Sandas, you may have only read the account book, but did not go into the depth of why we only had 90% of our business; in fact, it is very simple. 60% of Global Shipping's ships chose to sign long-term contracts, so the remaining 40% of short-term ships will naturally be vacant for short-term ships; however, these 40% of short-term ships are more profitable than those with the same long-term ships.

What's more, the vacancy rate of European and American ship owners is much higher than that of us, reaching 20 to 30%.

That is to say, the vacancy rate of ships is something that every shipping company will have.”

Hearing He Yuanzhang's explanation, HSBC Group 2 felt a little better.

Sandas continued: "The 3 million ships behind will be launched, and the total load capacity of global shipping will reach 15 million tons. The business will be hit again, and there may be a vacancy rate of about 20% unless the company can add new large customers..."

HSBC finally wanted to cash out, which made Wu Guangyao feel a headache!

In Wu Guangyao's plan, 2 million tons were built this year (1966). By the time of shipbuilding next year, HSBC may have taken the initiative to build ships, because the third Middle East War also began.

Wu Guangyao's goal for global shipping is 20 million tons, reaching the level of Bao Yugang in his previous life;

Of course, Wu Guangyao has three places that lead Bao Yugang in his previous life:

First, Bao Yugang achieved it in 1978, and he was able to achieve it in 1968.

Second, in Bao Yugang's Global Shipping in his previous life, HSBC accounted for more than 40% of the shares; in this life, HSBC accounted for only more than 20% of the shares of Wu Guangyao's Global Shipping in his previous life.

Third, during the period when shipping is best to make money (1967 to 1975), Wu Guangyao was ready, and Bao Yugang got up through these eight years.

Wu Guangyao thought about it and decided to make the final decision without giving too much explanation!

"Sandas, after these two million tons of ships were built, Global Shipping suspended the construction of new ships. In this way, our Global Shipping would have no loans in the first half of 1967. By then, Global Shipping could bring HSBC nearly 100 million US dollars in profits every year, and the world's industrial development still has a development period of at least 15 years. Why bother rush to cash out for a while?"

Seeing that Wu Guangyao took a step back, Sandas gave a clear answer, and stopped building another 2 million tons of ship, and felt satisfied.

As long as dividends are expected, what is waiting for a year or two?

"Okay, it turns out that Mr. Wu had already planned it, and it was our HSBC that was too concerned! Since that's the case, we agree to this 2 million tons shipbuilding plan."

Everyone was very happy. Although Wu Guangyao promised to build only 17 million tons, once Suez was closed next year, HSBC may be asking for shipbuilding itself, so why worry about not achieving the goal of 20 million tons.

In 1965, Global Shipping's profits rose again, reaching US$380 million. If shipbuilding funds and loans are offset, Global Shipping will only have 120 million in debt.

In 1966, Global Shipping's profits were expected to reach about US$420 million;

So Wu Guangyao said that Global Shipping, which has 17 million tons of ships, will achieve zero debt in the first half of 1967.

.........

He Yuanzhang and Gao Ke came to Wu Guangyao's office.

"sit!"

The two sat on the sofa and saw Chris pouring tea for them himself, both of them were a little restless.

"Thank you!" "Thank you!"

Chris smiled and returned to his position.

"How many ships did Bao Yu just have?" Wu Guangyao asked what he was most concerned about.

Although Wu Guangyao, Bao Yugang, Dong Haoyun, Zhao Congyan and Cao Wenjin often gather to discuss the shipping situation, it is impossible to inquire about the total load capacity of other people's fleets.

Wu Guangyao couldn't save face, and he thought he was a rival.

People like He Yuanzhang and Gao Ke are different, so there must be channels to learn the truth in private.

Gao Ke said: "Bao Yugang is expected to look 1.5 million tons, while Dong Yunhao is expected to look 2 million tons."

Yes, it seems that the Global Shipping led by Wu Guangyao has a very big impact on Bao Yugang;

After all, according to history, Bao Yugang had at least 3.5 million tons at this time!

In this life, whether it is HSBC's support, Japan, Europe and the United States' business, Global Shipping has seized Bao Yugang's opportunity.

Dong Yunhao mainly operates bulk cargo ships and regular routes, so the impact is slightly smaller.
