Chapter 208 【Ambitious! 】(Ask a monthly pass!)

In mid-October, Wu Guangyao returned to Hong Kong Island and came to HSBC.

"What, 80 million dollars? Mr. Wu, are you kidding me?" Sundashi raised his voice in vain, his tone full of weirdness.

"Sandas, this is a new ship, and the risk has always been small!" Wu Guangyao said.

The new ship does not depreciate as much as the old ship, so Global Shipping can mortgage it to HSBC in exchange for a loan.

"Small risk does not mean that there is no risk! Global Shipping has made a lot of profits this time due to the development of Dongying (impact of the Korean War), but it does not mean that we have always had such good luck."

Wu Guangyao is very depressed, because he knows the future and is confident; but others don’t know, so everyone is full of worry!

It seems that if you want HSBC to support yourself, you can only continue to use PG zipper to guarantee it!

PG zipper is a guarantee, but PG zipper does not need to pay any money, just in case!

"Sundus, my PG zipper has completed the acquisition of Dongying YKK zipper, which means that the global zipper market has completely opened up to me. I estimate that zipper can bring me 12 to 15 million US dollars each year. Profit. The old rules, PG zipper guarantees, the new ship is also mortgaged with your bank, this time I want to borrow 80% of the ship’s payment."

Sundas heard that PG Zipper had acquired YKK Zipper, and immediately dispelled the worries in his heart.

There are two large zipper manufacturers in the world, PG Zipper and YKK Zipper. Unexpectedly, PG Zipper completed the acquisition of YKK Zipper;

It is conceivable that in the future, PG zipper will be able to monopolize the zipper industry as long as the price has an absolute advantage over Europe and the United States.

"Okay, but for such a large loan, I need to report to the board of directors, but I will fully support you!" Sundas hesitated for a moment, changed his resolve, and acted vigorously.

80 million US dollars of orders, even if you only need to pay 20%, Global Shipping can't get it now;

Fortunately, this money does not require a one-time expenditure!

Plus interest, Global Shipping will owe more than US$90 million in debt, and it is expected that it will take six years to pay off without adding more freighters.

Of course, Global Shipping will not stop purchasing second-hand ships, so this time may be advanced!

At the very least, Wu Guangyao has fulfilled his original vow that the total deadweight of global shipping will reach 1 million tons within five years!

The development of this model has also destined that the profits earned by global shipping in at least ten or twenty years cannot be used as a picture, and only new ships can be purchased.

Only in this way will we truly be crowned the throne of the "World Ship King"!

Two days later, Sundars notified Wu Guangyao that the HSBC executives had agreed to the loan.

Wu Guangyao does not know what happened, but it is conceivable that Sundas will have to go through difficult lobbying to succeed!

Wu Guangyao finally relaxes. Only with a new ship will we have business in Europe and the United States, otherwise others will not give you a chance at all!

Speaking of Arabia, many people’s first impression is oil!

In this era, although many industrialists came to Arabia and wanted to develop oil, they all returned in failure;

Because Saudi Aramco controls the development of the entire region.

The Aramco in this era is controlled by four American oil companies, namely Chevron, Texaco, Exxon and Mobil.

Moreover, the crude oil production and prices that have a decisive influence on Saudi Arabia’s fiscal revenue are still in their hands.

It wasn't until the 1960s that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia made up its mind to take back control of Aramco!

Currently, the contract between Aramco and the King of Saudi Arabia is that Aramco will monopolize oil extraction, and give the king a considerable amount of royalties for every ton of oil mined.

After the oil was extracted, Aramco used its own ships to ship it all over the world.

But the contract does not say that Aramco also monopolizes oil transportation.

Wu Guangyao understood that the old king did not realize that the contract had an opportunity to take advantage of!

And this can also bring more huge wealth to myself, because I want to provide Saudi Arabia with oil tankers.

Therefore, Wu Guangyao decided to build a new ship. Two years later, he had enough strength to persuade the Saudi King to establish their own oil transportation company.

This oil transportation company is all flagged with the Saudi Arabian flag.

The company has a monopoly on oil transportation from Saudi Arabia’s oilfields. The company’s shareholders are the King of Saudi Arabia and Global Shipping.

Once this agreement is fully implemented, Saudi Arabia and Wu Guangyao will get everything they want!

It doesn’t matter if your own ship is not enough, you can also rent other people’s tankers!

Of course, the worst-case scenario is that Aramco and American shipowners will resist, and even European countries will condemn this agreement;

Maybe Saudi Arabia will be pressured to cancel this agreement, but what can Wu Guangyao lose?

May be just a little activity fund, some energy!

"If we lose our horses, we will know misfortune and good fortune". The oil tanker is still its own. Although it has failed, its reputation has been greatly shaken, and it will become the focus of attention of the entire world.

This loss-making asset will make one of the most expensive advertisements in the world for Global Shipping!

At that time, global shipping will take advantage of the trend to enter the European and American markets. Isn’t it going to be like a smash!

The so-called very people do very things. European and American shipping companies have always looked down on Chinese shipowners. They feel that Chinese ships are not only second-hand, but also small ships, so they will never lease Chinese shipowners' cargo ships.

If Wu Guangyao wants to enter the international market, he can only do extraordinary things and build his reputation!

Otherwise, just wait for eight years and six years, but Wu Guangyao is not the one who is willing to wait at all!

Dongying Wugang, blue sea and blue sky, clear sky!

For this signing ceremony, Fisher not only invited the Dongying media, but also invited news media from many countries and regions, such as the American media and the Hong Kong island media. It is bound to have a wave of publicity around the world.

Wu Guangyao and Fisher have the same idea, and they also think that the global shipping industry needs a wave of publicity!

The influence that can't always give people is that Global Shipping only knows to buy old ships, it is a shipping company that picks up broken pieces!

This is an obsolete warship, Fisher has been modified to become a cruise ship.

The signing ceremony was on the deck of this cruise ship!

The protagonists of this contract are Global Shipping, Mark Shipyard and HSBC, which belong to a tripartite contract.

Signed in, delivered speeches from three parties, signed the contract, witnessed by the mass media, an agreement was reached for an order of 80 million US dollars!

Then naturally accepted an interview with the media, but it was strange that all the reporters came to Wu Guangyao, leaving Fisher with embarrassment on his face.

Sundus is fortunate, the protagonist this time is not HSBC!

Wu Guangyao watched a group of media and rushed to ask questions to himself, so that he was all listening messy, and he quickly signaled everyone to stop.

"Everyone asks this, and I can’t answer at all. Let’s do it, three questions from a media, I’ll call it! Let’s give you three minutes of preparation time!"

Everyone heard it, think about it, and quickly agree!

Three minutes later, Wu Guangyao first pointed to the American media.

"Mr. Wu, Global Shipping always buys second-hand old freighters that have been eliminated from Europe and the United States. Why did you choose to buy new ships this time? And it is still 15 30,000-ton giant ships? Are you not afraid of the ruthlessness of the sea?"

The words of this American reporter are obviously discriminatory, but Wu Guangyao must not be angry!

Often incompetent people will get angry!

"This American reporter, you have asked three questions in total, so there is no chance to ask any more!" Wu Guangyao is preconceived.

"This is one problem, how come there are three problems?" The American reporter blurted out.

Wu Guangyao pointed to everyone and said: "Everyone, you are commenting, how many problems are these?"

The reporters laughed, and then said: "It's just three questions, American reporters, think about it!"

The American reporter finally reacted, and suddenly felt ashamed!

Wu Guangyao easily completed the anti-kill without losing his gentlemanly demeanor!

"I will answer you: First question, any company has a process from small to large, from weak to strong. Undoubtedly, our global shipping company is beginning to become stronger, so we will buy new ships to increase our competitiveness; The second question, 15 huge ships of 30,000 tons, it looks like a lot. This is just a small goal for us. It's not worth mentioning. Global shipping will have more cargo/tankers in the future; the third The problem, the sea is ruthless, but as long as you follow its temper, you will be sailing smoothly and unimpeded!"

"I have answered all three questions. I would like to say one more thing to you. The shipbuilding industry in the United States has had a hard time in recent years, and the cost has increased so much that shipbuilders have begun to develop outward. I am doing business for you in the United States. It can be said that I am your God!"

After listening to Wu Guangyao's words, Fisher, behind the reporter, applauded first, apparently agreeing with Wu Guangyao's words!

I agree as the master, the American journalist can only lower his head in shame!

Wu Guangyao then pointed to a British reporter, these difficult bones, it is better to take advantage of the momentum!

"Mr. Wu, are you Chinese or British?" This is the third question of the British journalist. It is politically biased.

Wu Guangyao said without hesitation: "I am a Chinese from Hong Kong Island!"

Now London politicians definitely want to win over themselves, but Wu Guangyao has his own bottom line!

Even if they are biased towards London in the past few decades, they will never antagonize the mainland and harm the interests of Chinese people!

The future ship king Bao Yugang is a British citizen. Bao Yugang explained that all this is for the convenience of doing business.

Wu Guangyao can be understood that he is not strong enough, so he needs to do this!

But Wu Guangyao is different, he is a Hong Kong Islander himself, even if the British and American politicians give more benefits, he will not be naturalized!

Of course, Wu Guangyao is very interested in finding a few British and American women and developing a few British and American Wu families!

In short, Wu family can have multiple branches, but the family must be a Chinese!
