Chapter 237【The sky is falling down, there is a tall man against it! 】

At the end of July, at Panmunjom, China, the United States, and North Korea finally signed an armistice agreement.

The people of Hong Kong Island are naturally very happy, after all, the economy of Hong Kong Island is greatly affected by this aspect;

The war is over, and the economy of Hong Kong Island should also develop.

Southeast Asian capital has begun to gather on Hong Kong Island, and the most popular industry is of course real estate.

However, Cheung Kong Holdings under Wu Guangyao still did not choose to develop its own land. Instead, it took over the cooperation of a British-funded foreign company. In this way, Cheung Kong Holdings almost happened to continue on the Prosperous Garden project.

After all, there is still a year and a half before 1955, and we have to wait for anything. The development of high-rise buildings has more than doubled the profit now!

At the end of August, Wu Guangyao met an unexpected person at the Peninsula Hotel, and that was Onassis.

Onassis is indeed as arrogant and arrogant as recorded in historical records, because it is very restrained to ask Wu Guangyao;

But who is Wu Guangyao, who is best at capturing people's facial expressions, even if it is a flash, it is hard to escape the eye of the law.

"Mr. Onassis came from afar, just to persuade me to withdraw from this plan?"

"Mr. Wu, you have to understand that although your strength is not weak, it is not enough in the eyes of European and American shipowners, so this plan is not suitable for you."

"Presumably Mr. Onassis, thinks that the old king cannot get through and intends to get through the relationship with the crown prince, but the crown prince does not approve of you, right?"

"Yes, the crown prince seems to have been bought by you, so I only approve of you! Mr. Wu, make a price, I came from afar with sincerity!"

Wu Guangyao sneered in his heart, with sincerity? Doesn't this person know that he is not short of money?

After pretending to think for a while, Wu Guangyao said, "Well, I have to participate in this plan, but I don't want many shares, 10% is enough; Onassis has to pay, and my activity fund is 500,000 US dollars as compensation. If Onassis is reluctant, then I plan to give it a try and see what European and American shipowners will do to me?"

Onassis heard it, and immediately said: "Okay, Mr. Wu is happy, that's it!"

Of course Onassis agreed readily, because at this time he already knew that this plan would not work for the old king, but it was definitely possible for the crown prince.

This old king may have a life span of one or two years, and he can afford to wait for this time.

After Onassis left, Wu Guangyao smiled triumphantly. This plan may not even need to be sent to Saudi Arabia by itself. At that time, he only needs to send He Yuanzhang to sign a contract on behalf of Global Shipping.

Because this contract to monopolize oil transportation in Saudi Arabia was only exposed for less than half a month, the young king unilaterally tore up the contract under the resistance of Aramco, the boycott of European and American shipowners, and the pressure of world public opinion.

Needless to say, the new king (the current crown prince) is the most stressed, followed by Onassis. As for Global Shipping, it may just be famous and there is a fart pressure.

At the end of September, Hong Kong Island Airlines ushered in a major change in personnel affairs. Wu Guangyao appointed a new president, a new financial manager and other positions to rectify the personnel affairs of Island Airlines; very few of the previous management chose to leave, and most people either kept the same. Position, or be demoted to deputy.

The attitude of Jardine Matheson this time is relatively friendly, and the two sides did not conflict on this.

After arranging the pilots and flight attendants to go to London for training on new passenger planes, the next step is to set up offices in various places.

At present, Island Airlines has only five routes to Seoul, Tokyo, Osaka, Taipei, and Manila. However, Wu Guangyao believes that as long as it operates properly and grabs customers from European and American airlines, Island Airlines will become a local airline on the same scale as Cathay Pacific. airline.

The most important of these should be the two routes of Dongying, so most of Wu Guangyao’s recruitment are Japanese girls, who come to serve as flight attendants on the two routes, allowing customers to enjoy kneeling service and god-like service.

Hong Kong Island Airlines emphasizes the Asian characteristics. Each route has a dual-end local characteristic, so that the passengers will feel familiar.

From flight attendants to meals, customers can welcome the characteristics of their own country and region.

In November 1953, the old king who founded the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia died of illness. Wu Guangyao knew that the storm was coming.

The new king succeeded to the throne. Wu Guangyao personally rushed to Saudi Arabia, gave his gift, and casually contacted his feelings.

Two months later, Onassis, Global Shipping and the King of Saudi Arabia signed the "Jeddah Agreement" that shocked the world's business circles.

The agreement stipulates: the establishment of "Saudi Arabia Oil Tanker Shipping Co., Ltd.", the company has a 700,000 tons of oil tanker fleet, all flying the Saudi Arabian flag; the company has the oil transportation monopoly of Saudi Arabia oil field exploitation, the company’s shareholder is Saudi Arabia King 50% shares, Onassis 40% shares, and Global Shipping 10% shares.

The signing of the    agreement announced Onassis’ success, and of course Wu Guangyao’s goals have been achieved.

Once this agreement is fully implemented, Saudi Arabia, Onassis, and Global Shipping will get everything they want.

However, as soon as this agreement was released, it was met with strong resistance from the powerful Aramco. At the same time, American and European shipowners also joined the opposition camp, and world public opinion was "condemning" this agreement.

At the same time, the United States contacted another Greek ship king, who was also Onassis’ rival and brother-in-law (who married the daughter of the old Greek ship king), and asked him to denigrate that Onassis had tricked the young king through fraud and obtained This agreement.

Global shipping also became famous, and the global shipping, which is not well-known in Europe and America, was also printed in everyone’s eyes.

Many people are asking, what size shipping company is Global Shipping, and is it worthy to join this team?

After a little understanding, it was natural that Global Shipping and Wu Guangyao also joined the crusade.

The young king, unable to face the accusations from the United States and other developed countries, was the first to unilaterally tear up the contract.

Onassis was also helpless. The European and American media did not even give him a chance to defend, so he had to swallow the bitter pill, and he lost hundreds of millions of dollars at once!

Wu Guangyao feels much better. The sky is falling and there is a tall man against it!

The key is to understand in my heart that compared to Global Shipping’s popularity, the media scolded itself in the newspapers. What's the point!

Let’s talk about who is scolding myself, but it is some shipowners, and those oil companies will pay attention to themselves instead.

"If we lose our horses, we will know good fortune". Although Onassis and Wu Guangyao failed, their reputations were shocked and became the focus of the whole world.

The loss of hundreds of millions of dollars is an intangible asset, which made Onassis and Wu Guangyao the most expensive advertisement in the world!

Global Shipping has already received 7 30,000-ton tankers, and successively received several orders in Europe and the United States, but the profits are very high.

For the same distance, the profit in Europe is about 1.8 times that of Dongying. This profit is enough to make Wu Guangyao feel that this adventure is worthwhile.

Furthermore, there was news from He Yuanzhang, who is far away in Europe, that many oil companies have begun to inquire about Global Shipping and are interested in cooperation.

Compared to Onassis, the price of Global Shipping is cheaper. Of course, the only thing that worries these oil companies is the quality of the crew of Global Shipping?

But this is simple, He Yuanzhang said directly, just give Global Shipping a chance!

Global shipping only needs one chance to prove yourself!

Global Maritime Academy has been established for so many years, and it has long established a world-class teaching system, and the seafarers trained are definitely no worse than those in Europe and the United States.

Of course, the European and American routes are also equipped with a very small number of European and American seafarers who have also received short-term training from the Global Academy.

The plot of acquiring Island Airlines and seeking world popularity is over, and I intend to mention the timeline later.
