Chapter 184 [Promise not to take the European route! 】(Ask a monthly pass!)

After    and Kayla had some rain, they finally lay on the bed feebly, and then wrapped a bedding to resist the cold of London.

"My dear, how many tons of cargo ship do you plan to buy this time?" Kayla asked.

The red tide on Kayla's face has not receded, and she is nestled in Wu Guangyao's strong chest. It is very satisfying to want to come!

"220,000 tons deadweight, 13 oil tankers!" Speaking of his career, Wu Guangyao became excited, playing with Kayla's fruit without being honest.

"Ah! Shouldn't you have a carrying capacity of only 200,000 tons at present? Will such a crazy expansion be too risky!" Kayla ignored Wu Guangyao's big hands, her face was full of worry!

Seeing that his woman is worried about him, Wu Guangyao needs to popularize Kayla. Why is he so confident!

"There is no risk, only opportunity! I think the center of the world's shipping will shift from Europe and the United States to less developed countries and regions!"

"Although the United States, Britain and other countries still have the largest fleet in the world, shipowners are already overwhelmed due to the skyrocketing salaries of their crews. Your European and American seafarers will be powerful. If the shipowners adopt a low salary system or hire a third world The crew of the seafarers will inevitably be interfered and sued by the Seamen’s Union. In this case, the shipowner has to reduce the size of the fleet."

"If European and American countries are the first-generation shipping stars, then the most promising countries and regions to become second-generation shipping stars are naturally Greece, Dongying, and Hong Kong Island. Hong Kong Island is currently the weakest, if not Me, then Hong Kong Island can only be the third-generation shipping star."

"Compared with these three places, Hong Kong Island has the lowest salary, and it is only one-third of Greece and East Asia, only one-thirtieth of Europe, and one-fortieth of the United States."

"Although the economy on Hong Kong Island is growing, wages are rising at a slower rate than the above-mentioned countries. Because the trade unions on Hong Kong Island are weak and do not have any prestige. Besides, the Mainland will provide a steady stream of cheap labor. The salary is even worse."

“In addition to cheap labor, Hong Kong Island’s tax rate is the lowest in the world, and it has even become a “tax haven” for shipowners.”

“In this way, what reason do I have to worry about! My goal is to be in the second-generation shipping star echelon where Tokyo and Greece are located, so it is natural to expand rapidly.”

Wu Guangyao talked eloquently, even in front of Sundashi, he did not analyze it carefully.

The reason?

Naturally because I am afraid that Kayla is worried about herself, and also wants to establish a tall image in front of her own woman!

Sure enough, Kayla listened to Wu Guangyao's analysis, while keeping close to Wu Guangyao, her eyes full of little stars.

"Do you know? I like your self-confident look. From the first time I saw you, I saw confidence and humor from you, so I got stuck deeper and deeper!"

"I am not only confident and humorous, but also have many specialties. Have you noticed?" Wu Guangyao had a bad smile on his face, but Kayla didn't notice it.

"What speciality? Rich or handsome?" Kayla asked.

"Wealthy and handsome are not special skills. I am talking about long time, long size, and long strength."

"It's going to die! Pervert."

The next day, Wu Guangyao ordered all troops and horses to go to the largest private shipping company in England—Mana Shipping.

As Wu Guangyao said yesterday, the salaries of seafarers in Europe and the United States are too high, and the business is not as much in the Far East. Shipowners have to reduce their fleets.

Of course, the reduced freighters are naturally dominated by old-fashioned freighters, all of which are older than 18 years old.

There is still a problem in Europe and America, that is, the crew is very good!

If the freighter is too broken, they will complain to the seamen that the working environment on the ship is not good!

Next, the shipowner will naturally be in trouble, either to subsidize the crew or spend money to modify the crew’s living quarters on the ship.

is so squeamish!

If that crew member dared to lodge a complaint with the union on Hong Kong Island, no one would know if he was thrown into the sea.

A group of people came to Mana Shipping Company, and Wu Guangyao was warmly welcomed by President Willis!

"Wu, I know you, Hong Kong Island’s new ‘ship king’! Your global shipping has a good reputation in Dongying, I think this is something that many ship owners can’t do!" Willis exaggerated.

Willis was not wrong. Recently, Wu Guangyao's number of newspapers on Dongying began to increase, and various praises swarmed, obviously winning Dongying’s respect!

Don’t even look at Global Shipping, which are all old oil tankers, but they are well maintained and there are no major failures.

The most important thing is that Global Shipping will take all responsibilities and provide quality services after chartering to you.

"Thanks to Willis for his evaluation, I am just fulfilling my responsibility to make customers worry-free!" Wu Guangyao said modestly.

"Haha, it's easy to say, but it's very difficult to put it into practice! I won't say much, I will take you to see the boat directly!" Willis said cheerfully.

This time, Mo Na Shipping handled a total of 13 internal combustion engine twin-axle cargo/tankers, including 20,000 tons and 15,000 tons, with a total deadweight of 220,000 tons.

But these ships are all 20 years old, otherwise the largest shipping company would not be willing to eliminate old ships on such a scale.

The facilities on the ship are simple and simple. For European and American crew members, in the long-term voyage, they are definitely unwilling to endure such a harsh working environment.

But the crew on Hong Kong Island not only have no complaints about low wages (because many refugees do not have jobs), but they are also particularly hard-working.

Wu Guangyao walked into the meals, cabins, and lounges of these tankers, and saw that the decoration and appliances were all European style. I am afraid that the crew on Hong Kong Island would feel very comfortable!

This is not a guess, but a certain thing!

13 freighters, Wu Guangyao and the crew appraiser finally finished their work after more than three hours.

A group of people came to the shipping office of the port, where Willis has been waiting for a long time!

"How about, the ship's information is true?" Willis said with a smile.

"There are some gaps, for example, "finding faults is a good assistant in bargaining, and Wu Guangyao will naturally not let go of these opportunities."

"Mr. Wu, these are some minor problems. Besides, they are originally 20-year-old ships. You can repair and maintain them after you go back!"

"But does the cost need to be shared by the shipping for us, because these ships are caused by your negligence in maintenance. I think the total price is 9 million US dollars, how is the transaction?" Wu Guangyao suddenly turned to the topic, making Willis a little bit Caught off guard.

The original price was 9.6 million U.S. dollars, but Wu Guangyao directly counter-offered 600,000 U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to a 12,000-ton second-hand freighter.

"Impossible! Our offer is not high, Mr. Wu, you are also too cruel! If you are not a partner of HSBC, I will choose to terminate the negotiation immediately!" Williams pretended to be angry and said deliberately.

Wu Guangyao was not shocked, and said, "Mr. Willis, don’t get excited. I am not bargaining unreasonably. From the bottom of the freighter, it is obvious that these ships have not performed their tasks for several months. It is obviously a burden, not as good as"

Telled the problem again in detail, meaning that you are in the port anyway, and you rarely assign tasks to these 13 freighters, so you might as well sell it to yourself.

"US$9.3 million, Mr. Wu, I am negotiating with you sincerely, you can't go any further!" Willis also knew that Wu Guangyao was a little bit caress, so he gave Wu Guangyao a vaccination.

Cut, Wu Guangyao will take care of it, and continue: "For 9.1 million US dollars, I can assure Willis one thing, Willis definitely feels that spending 200,000 US dollars is very worthwhile after listening to it!"

Wu Guangyao owes a beating. This is Willis’s idea. How can HSBC support such a gangster?

"Speak first!" Willis gritted his teeth and said.

"Willis sells these ships to others. I believe that others will use these ships to take the European route. If they are sold to me, I can sign a contract. These ships will never take the European route to avoid shipping with Willis’s. compete!"

Wu Guangyao’s condition is worth 200,000 US dollars?
