Chapter 168【Look at the loser, beat the loser. 】(Ask a monthly pass!)

In late July, Wu Guangyao dispatched He Yuanzhang to Europe to purchase four second-hand freighters, so that the global shipping capacity reached 200,000 tons and the number of freighters reached 16.

Before leaving, He Yuanzhang came to Wu Guangyao's office.

"Boss, there is news from Dongying that the shipping cost there has risen to 8 dollars a ton. Do we have to increase the price?"

Wu Guangyao shook his head, obviously not wanting to increase the price now, it is indecent to eat like this.

Since I have made up my mind to develop the shipping industry based on Dongying, it is natural to build a good reputation.

Of course, if the price does not increase now, it does not mean that it will not increase in the future!

Let yourself behave and increase prices passively.

For example, the outside freight rose from 7 dollars a ton to 8 dollars a ton, and then to 10 dollars a ton.

At this time, you can increase the price to 9 US dollars a ton, and still give you a 10% discount!

Customers will think that the owner did not raise the price at 8 dollars a ton, indicating that he is not the kind of person who only benefits.

And the freight has reached 10 dollars a ton, how others can understand the price increase, at least 10% off!

"Do you know why the shipping costs of Dongying have increased?" Wu Guangyao intends to test his talents to see if he has any insight.

If you want to be an economic tycoon, you cannot stay away from politics, you must understand the current situation, and grasp the substantive things in the colorful and dazzling performance.

For example, the outbreak of the Korean War this time is closely related to all of its companies.

"When the Korean War breaks out, the United States will inevitably participate in full, so it needs a lot of resources. These resources cannot be purchased locally, so they will only be purchased in Dongying. In this way, Dongying must have a rapid economic development and the demand for resources is strong. Dongying's resources are abundant. Poor, so a lot of purchases are needed from outside, and shipping costs will naturally skyrocket!” He Yuanzhang said with a reasonable and well-founded analysis.

Wu Guangyao nodded, his analysis makes sense!

"Then do you think this war will last for several years?" Wu Guangyao asked again.

He Yuanzhang is taken aback, how many years?

Although the Northern Dynasty has drove South Korea to a corner of Busan and occupied 90% of the land, in the eyes of the sensible people know that it is the United States that has not yet done its best and is mobilizing troops.

In the eyes of these people, it would be nice if North Korea can survive six months!

He Yuanzhang believes that Wu Guangyao believes that once the United States organizes the sea, land and air, it is afraid that the war will end soon, so he decided not to increase the price, so as to avoid making customers feel that the company is too eager for quick success.

Now listening to the boss, how many years will this war last?

He Yuanzhang's brain is running at a high speed, planning to find some inspiration from the boss's words.

Come over for a while, He Yuanzhang said: "What the boss meant is that polar bears will participate in the Korean war?"

Wu Guangyao thought in his heart that until now no one would believe that the mainland would join the war, and that it had sent millions of troops to participate in the war.

It means that two months later, America still doesn’t believe this is possible!

This is not to blame everyone for lacking insight. Even the mainland decided to get involved in this war in early October.

Unexpectedly, this fight would be played on and off for three years!

Wu Guangyao shook his head, didn't say much, obviously he couldn't disclose too much!

"I'm telling you this, just to tell you that we who do shipping must work hard! We have to study various foreign information and find useful news for ourselves. This time you go to Europe as well."

"Well, I will pay attention!"

"Go and prepare for the trip to Europe. When you get there, remember to contact my law firm and let them send someone to accompany you throughout the process!"

"Well, then I'm leaving!"

HSBC Bank

Sundus finally relied on his strong contacts to lobby the senior executives to succeed in acquiring the shares of Hong Kong Island Airlines in the hands of English Overseas Airlines.

Hong Kong Island Airlines is not valuable. The fixed assets are 6 old-fashioned propeller planes and the flight license.

But if English Overseas Airlines does not withdraw, no one can take over, because this is the official company of English.

However, now that English Overseas Airlines intends to withdraw, HSBC will naturally be able to acquire 35% of its shares.

HSBC’s senior executives generally believe that this is a value investment. If Jardine’s business improves, it may not be the second Cathay Pacific;

If the business is not doing well, then it will only be acquired by Cathay Pacific at that time, and HSBC will also take advantage of the trend to break into Cathay Pacific.

1.5 million Hong Kong dollars, 35% of the shares of Island Airlines, this business will soon be negotiated!

When Wu Guangyao heard the news, he squeezed his fist, and the Great Wall finally took its first step!

Then there is a long wait, three or five years.

Wu Guangyao made an appointment with Zhao Xi, had dinner at Yunsheng Hotel, and planned to sell shares of Yaoxi Trading to Zhao Xi.

"What, are you going to transfer the shares to me? Guangyao, why is that? You must know that the major shareholder of Yaoxi Trading is you!" Zhao Xi heard Wu Guangyao's proposal. The first reaction was not joy, but also fear.

The reason for Zhao Xi's fear was that Wu Guangyao felt that the future of the trading company was unclear. After all, Zhao Xi believed in Wu Guangyao's vision.

"Don't worry, the future of Yaoxi Trading is very good, and there is no problem. My reason for withdrawing is simple. The trading company involves too many political factors, so I want to get out! For example, the Hong Kong government now prohibits some items from entering the mainland. , Would you take risks?" Wu Guangyao was right. He knew Zhao Xi and was also a master who didn't take risks.

"Yes, as long as there is a profit, I will find a way to transport it!" Zhao Xi answered honestly.

The main target of Yaoxi's trade is the mainland, so it is impossible to cut off trade in the mainland.

"That's it, I am different. I have many industries and rely heavily on the Hong Kong government, so I can't let this time bomb stay with me. So, I want to transfer it to you!"

Zhao Xi thought for a while, indeed.

"But, I don't have so much money to buy your shares, what should I do?" Zhao Xi said embarrassedly.

Yao Xi Trading's shares, Wu Guangyao occupies 80%, Zhao Xi is just a minority shareholder.

Because Wu Guangyao was wholly-owned, and Zhao Xi was an individual.

After nearly two years of development, Yaoxi Trade is worth at least 200,000 Hong Kong dollars, so Zhao Xi can't come up with 160,000 Hong Kong dollars.

"It’s okay, even if I lend it to you, I can pay it back after I make a profit!"

Zhao Xi was very touched, but he didn't expect that he still had this opportunity!

I think I was just an employee of Jardine Matheson. Just because I met this nobleman on the liner, I had a great opportunity to become one of the richest people on Hong Kong Island.

Wu Guangyao thought for a while, and decided to give Zhao Xi another good fortune.

"Brother Zhao, Hong Kong Island’s export sales will increase sharply, and it is estimated that it will reach 500 million next year. If Hong Kong Island’s export sales reach 500 million next year, it will account for 20% of Hong Kong Island’s total exports. This rapid increase in data. It shows that Hong Kong Island has changed from the status of an entrepot to a trading and manufacturing center. If you dabble in hardware manufacturing, your career will take a step forward!"

When Zhao Xi heard Wu Guangyao’s words, he naturally believed it, because Wu Guangyao’s "Oriental Daily" is a business newspaper and likes to use various data to illustrate problems.

Zhao Xi is a native of Guangdong Province. There is a saying in Guangdong Province: “If you lose your line, you will beat the loser.”

means to choose to lag behind others, which is worse than the prodigal!

Zhao Xi quickly said: "Okay, I will prepare a loan recently to open a hardware manufacturing plant."

After returning home, Zhao Xi couldn’t wait to say to his wife Han Jing: “How much money can we make in our family?”

Han Jing was taken aback, Xianggong rushed to ask what this did?

"I have saved some money in the past two years, about 20,000 Hong Kong dollars."

Zhao Xi walked in the room to think, is this amount of capital not enough?

It costs 100,000 Hong Kong dollars to open a factory. Even if you take a loan, you must have at least three to fifty thousand Hong Kong dollars in principal!

"Can I sell some gold and silver jewelry, I need funds to open a hardware processing factory?" Zhao Xi said embarrassingly.

I thought that I started my career in the past two years and could give my wife a good life, but I didn’t expect to start so soon now, I started to pay attention to my wife’s gold and silver jewelry.

"Are you sure?" Han Jing said, of course her husband's career supports her, but she is afraid that her husband will be too aggressive.

"It's very big! By the way, Guangyao has sold me shares of Yaoxi Trading, but I can make money and then give it back. This hardware factory is also his attention, and it should be a big deal!"

"Ah, great! If it is a glorious idea, then we really have to seize the opportunity, then sell some gold and silver, I will go to my mother's house to borrow some, and the 50,000 principal should be able to collect it!" Han Jing listened to Zhao He said without hesitation.

Zhao Xi is a bit savory, how can this wife trust Wu Guangyao so much, she doesn’t even have this treatment!

"What are you hesitating? It's so decided. I can't help but listen to what the God of Wealth said. Tomorrow I will borrow money from my parents!" Han Jing said in a daze without talking, and said urgently.

Yup! Wu Guangyao is known as the God of Wealth on Hong Kong Island. What is there to admire his wife?

Damn myself, I still have to taste this!

Zhao Xi reacted and said, "Well, let's put together 50,000 principals and then go to the bank for a loan. If everything goes well, the debt will be paid off in just one or two years. At that time, you will be the rich wife of Hong Kong Island. !"

"Well, you understand! When the debt is paid off, I want to buy more gold jewelry!"

Both the couple fell into a beautiful vision for the future!
