Chapter 173 [The sky changes] (seeking a monthly pass!)

Madeng came to Wu Guangyao to invest in shares, but it is a pity that Wu Guangyao is a landlord and has no money left, so he can only give up.

Fortunately, Little Madden is better than his father. Although the cooperation between the two was unsuccessful, they could also talk about shipping issues.

The two people have very similar views, that is, doing shipping on Hong Kong Island is just like a tiger.

If the first generation of the "Ship King" was produced in Europe and America, then the second generation of the "Ship King" was produced on Hong Kong Island and Dongying.

In October, a new second-hand cargo ship purchased by Global Shipping arrived on Hong Kong Island and was registered.

At this point, the global shipping capacity has reached 200,000 tons, and it has reached the pinnacle of Chinese shipowners.

The Yaoshi Industrial Smelter located in Shauqiwan has also officially put into production, greatly reducing the cost of zipper production.

Wu Guangyao has to admire this move of his own. If he does not have his own smelter, the price of Dongying's aluminum alloy has already started to rise, and he does not know how much he will lose.

In late October, the mainland crossed the Yalu River, which brightened the future of Hong Kong Island.

Many people think that since the mainland has been involved in the war with the'United Nations', they have no intention of controlling the small Hong Kong island.

But the people of Hong Kong Island have not cheered for long. The United States first announced a material embargo on China (including Hong Kong and Macau) on December 3, and then on January 3, 1951, the United States passed the embargo on the mainland by the United Nations.

Under pressure from the United States, the British and Hong Kong authorities had to announce the severance of trade with the mainland.

The trade status of Hong Kong Island’s re-export port plummeted and the economy almost collapsed.

It should be understood that Hong Kong Island is a typical re-export trade port. Compared with the total value of import and export trade, the value of industrial output is very small.

Take 1950 as an example. Hong Kong Island’s total import and export trade reached 9 billion Hong Kong dollars, while the industry just started to sprout, not even 1 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Import and export trade has led to banking, insurance, and real estate. These industries have jointly maintained the prosperity of Hong Kong Island.

The economic circle on Hong Kong Island is in panic, and the status of the entrepot is lost. Everyone is asking, where is the economic way out for Hong Kong Island?

Many friends who knew Wu Guangyao came to Wu Guangyao one after another, asking where is the economic way out for Hong Kong Island?

Wu Guangyao understands their feelings very well, and can only comfort them. After all, he is the "God of Wealth Wu" in their minds.

On January 9, Wu Guangyao came to Oriental News, intending to give the Hong Kong Island economic community some confidence.

I am no longer a minor person, and no one among the Chinese can do anything about net worth alone.

Therefore, Wu Guangyao feels that he needs to stand up!

"Boss, here you are! Recently, people on Hong Kong Island are worried, and even the newspapers are not selling well. The sales of the "Oriental Daily" have fallen by about 20%, and the current sales per issue are only 13,000. If this continues, it will have to decline. What should I do?" Yang Kang saw Wu Guangyao coming, and couldn't help but said worriedly.

"How to be good? Everyone is asking me how to be good now. Can we not eat pigs with fur without Zhang Butcher?" Wu Guangyao asked back.

Wu Guangyao ignored Yang Kang's stunned expression, turned around and walked to his office, calling Shen Baoxing.

"Boss, do you have a trick?" Shen Baoxing said lightly with an expression of a savior coming.

Wu Guangyao didn’t care about Shen Baoxing’s virtues. He threw a manuscript directly and said with a smile: “I really thought I was the God of Wealth! I can change such a big thing! This is a press release written by me. Look for the wrong words and typos, and then directly publish it in my name!"

Shen Baoxing ignored Wu Guangyao and directly read Wu Guangyao's manuscript in the office.

The next day, "Oriental Daily" started a new issue.

A regular customer who bought the "Oriental Daily" saw the name ‘Where is the road to Hong Kong Island’s economy? ’It’s not surprising.

The current newspaper is not reporting these, but what is the role?

On Hong Kong Island, how many people rely on trade with the mainland to survive, and how many industries have been driven by trade with the mainland, which are now gone. Could anyone else lift the ban on the'United Nations'?

Seeing the three words "Wu Guangyao" under the title, the newspaper readers finally got interested, because the first time I saw this "God of Wealth" writing news, is there any wisdom?

"Easy to be poor will change, change will lead to success, general will lead to long. So God blesses it, good fortune is no disadvantage!"

"The trade status of the entrepot port is gone, so shall we not eat anymore?"

"The only way out at present is to develop industry and put industrialization in the same position as the entrepot trade."

"Hong Kong Island has a narrow land, poor resources and limited local market. This determines that the industrialization of Hong Kong Island is a'processing trade manufacturing industry'. This kind of manufacturing industry is a typical raw material and sales market. Out of the processing industry."

"Light industries such as textiles, garments, plastics, watches, etc., are most suitable for the Hong Kong Island economy."

"Hong Kong Island’s industrial advantages include: First, in the late 1940s, Hong Kong Island had initially established an industrial base centered on textiles and garments; The huge wealth from the Mainland; third, Hong Kong Island has extensive connections with the international market, well-informed, and purchase and sales can be basically ensured; fourth, Hong Kong Island has a large amount of labor resources. Fifth, the Hong Kong government has formulated industries in the first half of the year. Policies, policy preference, positive non-intervention in specific operations, merchants have great autonomy in capital in and out, operation and management."

"With so many advantages, if Hong Kong Island cannot develop, it can only show that we are too stupid!"

"But, are we stupid?"

The newspaper reader read out the highlights while reading, his face gradually showing joy and excitement.

"Have an opinion! It is worthy of being the God of Wealth of our Chinese, with such a clear thinking! Yes, the trade status has declined, then develop industry!" The newspaper reader couldn't help but agree.

At the same time, Wu Guangyao’s news published in the "Oriental Daily" was read by many people. After everyone had read it, they discussed it.

Tea shops, restaurants, and restaurants are all discussing, and Wu Guangyao’s remarks.

No one from all strata of society is not talking about it. This topic is related to oneself.

Hong Kong

Governor Ge Lianghong organizes important members of the Hong Kong government and is also discussing the current situation on Hong Kong Island.

In the conference room, there are all foreign faces. Obviously, in some places, these foreigners still haven't let the Chinese into politics.

"We have to listen to the orders of the United Nations and London, so we cannot let those contraband products enter the mainland. However, if Hong Kong Island wants to develop industry, we must import raw materials. Then cheap raw materials from the mainland are still our choice, so In this regard, just open one eye and close one eye!" Governor Ge Lianghong said helplessly.

Although Ge Lianghong is a colonial official, he is very concerned about the economy of Hong Kong Island. The economy of Hong Kong Island has only been restored for a few years, but he did not expect to suffer a devastating blow.

Ge Lianghong is also very helpless. On the one hand, it is the order of London, and on the other hand, it is the people's livelihood and economy of Hong Kong Island. He can only choose the former.

"But how do you determine whether the ship is to transport contraband or to import raw materials from the mainland?" an official asked.

"All ships must be inspected for inspection. Anyone who does not accept inspection will be shot until the ship is parked!" Ge Lianghong said in a deep voice.

After a meeting, obviously the disaster and fortunes of Chinese businessmen will follow!

Break through the past is a huge rich, such as Huo Yingdong, He Hongshen and others;

Failed to break through is a pile of bones, buried in the bottom of the sea.

I’ve got a bit of a scribble in the past few days, and I have deleted a lot of chapters after I’ve written it. I can only guarantee the basic update. The author will adjust the status as soon as possible, please forgive me!
