Chapter 132【Wu's praise for doing business! 】

Since he owned the first freighter in Global Shipping, Wu Guangyao spent a large sum of money to set up the headquarters on Hong Kong Island, and the telegraph users have direct access to the circuit.

All freighters under   , no matter where they are in the world, can report all kinds of problems they encounter to the Hong Kong Island headquarters in a timely manner.

For example, time delays caused by accidents, mishaps for crews, machine failures, and various natural and man-made disasters, the headquarters of Global Shipping on Hong Kong Island, can be informed at the first time, and give instructions and responses.

Every day, the Global Shipping Headquarters will use the telegram to hold a technical meeting for its fleets sailing around the world!

Wu Guangyao thinks that global shipping belongs to the new born in the shipping industry, and lack of experience is a shortcoming of the company.

Each day’s technical meeting is equivalent to a summary meeting.

Analyze all kinds of problems encountered, take remedial measures in time, and record them in order to accumulate experience for future voyages.

If the ship has a major failure and the freighter cannot continue sailing, the company can also know the direction of the ship.

And immediately send someone to the port nearest to the ship, and then take a small barge to repair.

In mid-January, Global Shipping Headquarters received such a telegram.

When a 10,000-ton oil tanker purchased by Far East Shipping was fully loaded with oil and returned to Dongying Port, there was an accident that could not continue to sail.

The maintenance personnel on the ship were helpless about the accident and requested the support of the Hong Kong Island Headquarters!

"Where is the freighter? How many kilometers is it from the nearest port?" Wu Guangyao said anxiously.

I happened to be working in Global Shipping today. Wu Guangyao took this kind of accident very seriously.

This problem must be dealt with quickly, and Showa Energy must not feel that the cargo ships of Global Shipping are all second-hand ships, and the countermeasures are insufficient.

This will disappoint others, and the later cooperation will obviously be greatly reduced!

I even said in Dali that it will leave a bad reputation in Dongying, and Dongying customers will underestimate global shipping. This is fatal!

Global shipping will focus on second-hand freighters in the next few years. Naturally, a lot of effort has been put in the maintenance of freighters.

The headquarters of   Global Shipping has a long-term maintenance team composed of 7 people with rich experience, and there are 4 senior European engineers in it.

It will cost a lot to raise the maintenance team!

Of course, all this is worth it!

A new ship is not something ordinary people can buy. It costs millions of dollars a ship at every turn, even Wu Guangyao can't bear it.

So, Wu Guangyao can only develop from the old ship!

"About 50 kilometers from Tokyo Port!"

Wu Guangyao nodded, and then immediately named two European and one Hong Kong maintenance workers. He also accompanied the maintenance team, preparing to fly to Tokyo.

"Boss, I'll just go!" He Yuanzhang persuaded.

"No, I'm going to study and experience, naturally I want to go with you. Besides, if I don't go, I can't sleep well!" Wu Guangyao refused.

Wu Guangyao thinks this way, the future of global shipping is a global company, and he must pay enough attention to it.

As a boss, you naturally have to be proficient in various skills, so that you can convince the crowd, and others can't fool yourself.

As for He Yuanzhang, he naturally needs to be the same as himself, and he needs to be proficient in everything.

Five people hurriedly boarded the plane, arrived in Tokyo, and then drove to the port.

It only took more than 6 hours, and there was still more than 1 hour before dark.

Get on a small barge and go to the point where the freighter happened.

It was a cold winter, the sea was bitterly cold, and occasionally cold waves hit the faces of Wu Guangyao and his party, sharpening the blade.

"It's not easy to go to sea!" Wu Guangyao couldn't help sighing.

"Well, so most of the local crew members on Hong Kong Island are ‘old and weak soldiers’ who are ignorant and unable to find ideal jobs." He Yuanzhang’s body is not as good as Wu Guangyao, frozen into a ball, and said tremblingly.

Wu Guangyao nodded, He Yuanzhang made no mistake.

Among his six freighters, from the captain to the third mate, and from the senior to the third (engineer), they are basically Europeans, and only the lowest talents are the crew of Hong Kong Island.

Europeans have high salaries and can live with their families on the ship, but they have no sense of belonging and will leave Global Shipping when the contract is full.

Hong Kong Island ships have low salaries and still do some tiring and dirty work. It is rare to reunite with family members in a year, and it will inevitably cause some dissatisfaction in my heart.

But on Hong Kong Island, it’s hard to find a job now. If you want to be a crew member, you basically have to go through an intermediary and pay two to three months’ salary.

It is precisely because the crew members below belong to the ‘old, weak and remnants’, while the technical jobs on the upper strata are Europeans.

That’s why Wu Guangyao intends to establish a Maritime Academy to create a group of qualified crew members and own senior crew members and captains.

Facing the cold wind, before dark, finally rushed to the accident site of the "Jinshi" freighter.

On the freighter, Wu Guangyao asked the kitchen to make some **** soup and food to warm everyone's stomach.

"After dinner, everyone should go to rest first, get enough energy, and then overhaul the freighter tomorrow morning!" Wu Guangyao said to these engineers.

Since none of the engineers on the ship can fix it, it is definitely not a normal problem. Wu Guangyao does not intend to rush to repair it.

After two days of inspection and maintenance, the freighter was finally able to set off, and everyone cheered excitedly!

In the past few days, the sea environment is harsh, and the harsh winds and huge waves hit the freighter mercilessly.

This freighter is like a rootless leaf floating on the waves.

Wu Guangyao was also the first time to suffer this kind of crime. Fortunately, his physical fitness was good and he could bear it.

He Yuanzhang was different. His thin body was tortured and exhausted. Wu Guangyao asked him to rest several times, but he refused.

"It seems that I have to make up my mind to exercise. The people of the shipping company are so vulnerable, it is really a joke!" He Yuanzhang laughed at himself.

"Not only for professional considerations, proper exercise, but also for your own health. I think you should learn to swim, especially winter swimming."

"It's right to listen to the boss, I will stick to this sport!"

Although the voyage was three days late, Showa Energy Co., Ltd. actually trusted Global Shipping even more.

Back to the port, Nozawa Nozawa, the owner of Showa Energy, came to the port in person, picked up Wu Guangyao and his party, arranged a hotel, and invited everyone to have a party in the evening.

Dongying people like to do business in geisha halls. This habit makes many foreign businessmen find it novel, interesting and unique.

Wu Guangyao is not as strict with himself as the charter king of later generations. He feels that it is acceptable to relax appropriately.

Of course, I also have a bottom line!

Chatting, playing games is fine.

Others, Wu Guangyao felt that he did not need to find such a woman at all, and lost his identity!

In the geisha restaurant, there is a Dongying woman beside each man serving tea and wine, and the service is attentive.

Wu Guangyao is no exception, and the women around him are very beautiful and young!

"Mr. Wu, I admire you very much! You are also a person on Hong Kong Island, a wealthy one. I didn’t expect you to handle this accident personally! If it was me, I might not be able to do that. Stay in the harsh environment for two or three days!"

"Mr. Nozawa praised! Since there was an accident on a Global Shipping ship, I am naturally responsible. I want to give customers peace of mind. We Global Shipping promises that we will not shirk anything when we encounter it, and will deal with it as soon as possible. ."

Sho Nozawa clapped his palms and said happily: "We Showa Energy are willing to maintain long-term cooperation with Global Shipping. Wu's business is stable, faithful and trustworthy!"

"Thank you Mr. Nozawa for his recognition, this is what we should do!"

Nazawa then asked: “How many tons of deadweight does your company plan to develop this year?”

Wu Guangyao thought about it for a while, and then said: “The cargo ship purchased this year should have a deadweight of more than 60,000 tons. I don’t know if Showa Energy can sign it all?”

"Haha...haha" Nozawa Shang laughed, and then said, "Mr. Wu don't need to worry, I have learned about Wu's business model. Even if I can't sign all of them, I'm willing to help your company connect and make it happen. Sign a contract with our Dongying Company!"

Wu Guangyao nodded happily, raised his glass and said, "Happy cooperation!"

Why Wu Guangyao would rather make less money, and be willing to establish a long-term cooperation and friendship with Dongying people!

First, Dongying is an island country, and its economic construction is in full swing, but its own resources are scarce and rely heavily on foreign raw materials. Because of this, they will strictly abide by the contract and establish an image of integrity, so that foreign talents are willing to cooperate with them.

Second, at the end of the 1950s, the Dongying shipbuilding industry was already comparable to European and American technologies, but the price was 20% cheaper. Therefore, many customers who needed ships placed orders one after another, so that Dongying Shipyard stopped taking orders later. If Wu Guangyao establishes a relationship in Dongying, Dongying people will naturally give priority to this friendly ship king.

Third, I reduced the risk of global shipping. Even HSBC believes that although this method is less profitable, it is very stable. Therefore, HSBC will vigorously support global shipping.

Next, everyone talked for a while, obviously very happy, and there were bright laughs from time to time.

Suddenly, Nozawa Shang clapped his hands on the right hand side. After a while, several Dongying women dressed in suits came to the room and started dancing.

The man's breath becomes grand, obviously this kind of dance is provocative!

The atmosphere in the room has gradually deviated from the normal gathering. Several people from Showa Energy are obviously good players among them, and they are fighting fiercely with the Dongying woman next to them.

Wu Guangyao looked at his side, and several European engineers were obviously obsessed with this.

There are only Wu Guangyao, He Yuanzhang, and Chinese engineers, the three of them can still maintain their original intentions!

"Mr. Wu, but I'm not satisfied, we need to exchange with one of us, just say it!"

Wu Guangyao smiled, not pretentious, nor timid, and said: "Mr. Nozawa, just play, don’t care about me, I have my joy!"

Nozawa Shang made two ‘haha’ and stopped continuing this topic. In my heart, I felt that Wu Guangyao might be too young and had a fairy wife in his family, so he was not keen on it. When I get older, I naturally like the flower girl outside!

At the end of the banquet, Wu Guangyao and He Yuanzhang, as well as a Chinese engineer, refused to pack the Geisha Hall!

With Wu Guangyao’s looks and wealth, what kind of Dongying woman is not caught by hand, why tarnish her brother!

Back to the hotel, I slept beautifully, but I was a little restless in the boat these days.
