Chapter 261 [The curtain opens] (seeking a monthly pass!)
On Hong Kong Island in July, thunder showers continued and the heat was unbearable.
Fortunately, Wu Guangyao’s office has been installed with air conditioning, and finally no longer sweats.
Universal Building has only six floors, but there are already more than 300 employees working in the Universal Building;
Although it will not be crowded, according to the trend, it will not be crowded in three or four years!
Three years later, the commercial complex of the Yangtze River Center was almost completed, and it happened to be moved into the self-built building to work. It saves money and is stylish!
And this global building on Queen’s Road in Central District can also be rebuilt to build a truly global building, which will become the most beautiful building on Hong Kong Island.
Currently, Global Shipping is Asia’s well-deserved shipping giant. It currently ranks first in Asia with a deadweight of 2.3 million tons, which does not include the six 50,000-ton tankers under construction;
Even the fleets of the various consortiums in Dongying are not as good as the global shipping, and even they only have half the carrying capacity of the global shipping.
For second-hand ships, Global Shipping has a total of 1.5 million tons, a total of 80 ships; in terms of new ships, Global Shipping has a total of 800,000 tons, a total of 26 ships.
80 second-hand ships are all leased to Dongying’s customers, and all of them are short-term contracts-charge-by-trip mode;
26 new oil tankers execute short-term contracts in Europe and the United States, and the new ships have not been chartered for a long time.
In terms of finance, the balance on the global shipping account is 3 million US dollars, and the loan owed to HSBC is 91 million US dollars.
Global Shipping’s first batch of new oil tankers—loans for 15 30,000-ton oil tankers were fully repaid in June 1955;
The subsequent 11 delivered 350,000-ton deadweight oil tankers have a contract price of US$52 million and interest of US$8 million for a total of US$60 million; US$20 million has been paid off, with a loan of US$40 million remaining.
The contract price of six 50,000-ton tankers under construction is US$40 million (toyin's price is 80% of European and American manufacturing), interest is US$6 million, and the loan is calculated to be US$46 million.
In addition to the US$5 million owed by the investment port, it is calculated that Global Shipping’s loan is still US$91 million.
The total value of the global shipping fleet should be 220 million US dollars (including oil tankers under construction);
The value of the port is already incalculable. The four container terminals that have invested 10 million U.S. dollars will not be sold by Wu Guangyao even if someone gives them 100 million U.S. dollars now.
The rapid development in the past three years is due to the optimism of HSBC, and HSBC itself is a shareholder that owns 22% of Global Shipping; therefore, it is very open in terms of loans!
Of course, the benefits of Wu Guangyao’s zipper industry are the most important to HSBC!
‘咚咚..咚咚’
There was a knock on the door of Wu Guangyao's office, which disturbed Wu Guangyao's thinking brain.
"Come in!"
He Yuanzhang pushed the door in, with a sense of urgency on his face.
"Boss, there is news from Europe that the Egyptian government announced that the Suez Canal Company will be reclaimed and all the company's assets will be transferred to the Egyptian government; and the army has occupied both ends of the canal. Ships from non-friendly countries are not allowed to use the canal."
Wu Guangyao heard it, pretending to be surprised and said: "Is the news confirmed?"
"Well, it's confirmed. There is also certain news from the US."
"Then what do you think of the subsequent development of the situation?"
He Yuanzhang knows that this is the boss who is testing himself. As a vice president of a world-class shipping company, if he does not have the ability to view the overall situation and analyze current affairs, he is simply unqualified.
"The Suez Canal has always been monopolized by Britain and France. Egypt's move has undoubtedly angered Britain and France. I am afraid that the Middle East will not be peaceful, and there will even be wars to resolve this dispute. Moreover, Egypt has very few so-called friendly countries, so the vast majority of merchant ships in the world , We can only detour to the Cape of Good Hope at the southern tip of Africa. With the increase of roads, the rising freight rate is a trend. This may be a good opportunity for our shipping industry!" He Yuanzhang said.
Hong Kong Island is now a British colony, and the conflict with Egypt this time is Britain and France, so ships on Hong Kong Island cannot pass through Suez; similarly, countries such as Dongying and Greece cannot pass.
I am afraid that only Russia and some countries in the Middle East can pass!
Wu Guangyao nodded and said affirmatively: "What you said is very reasonable! But it is still not comprehensive enough. By detouring the Cape of Good Hope, the journey has increased a lot, and the transportation time will increase a lot; but the number of ships worldwide is fixed, so It will definitely cause a backlog of goods and a shortage of energy. Then the freight price will skyrocket several times."
He Yuanzhang almost jumped off the sofa when he heard it!
How many times?
Is this boss getting hypnotism?
At present, the European and American routes are basically around 15 US dollars per ton, even if it is three times, it is 45 US dollars a ton; a 30,000-ton tanker will cost 1.35 million US dollars per trip, and the cost is not much different from before (oil prices in this era) It is also very cheap), the cost is estimated at 150,000 US dollars, and the net profit is 1.2 million US dollars after one trip.
According to the cost of a 30,000-ton oil tanker of US$5.5 million, it only takes five trips and takes 10 months to earn a new oil tanker back.
Horror!
This is the case. In 1956, Bao Yugang had only one second-hand ship; by 1957, Bao Yugang already had six second-hand ships.
One can imagine how big this opportunity is!
Of course, the most impressive thing is Wu Guangyao's 80 second-hand ships. With these broken copper and iron, how many new ships will Wu Guangyao make?
The freight rates in Europe and the United States have risen, and the freight rates in Dongying will also skyrocket!
Furthermore, because Wu Guangyao has been buying second-hand ships in Europe and the United States in recent years, the number of ships in Europe and the United States will decrease accordingly, which will make European and American ships even more scarce.
"Boss, if this is the case, then as long as Suez is blocked for one year, we can expand the fleet to 5 million tons of deadweight before 1960. At that time, you will be the world's ship king!"
"What’s going on in the future, I’ll talk about it later. The top priority is that all the global shipping staff made me nervous and sent someone to figure out the situation in the Middle East, so that the fleet should not be unwarranted!"
"Yes, I will make arrangements right away!"
On July 28th, Egypt announced the third day of taking back the Suez Canal. Most of the ships in the world dared not take the Suez Canal anymore;
And European and American shipowners took the lead in starting to raise prices on the ground, and shipping rates began to rise.
Wu Guangyao urged the European and American fleets not to stop transportation. The detour will add a good impression in Europe and the United States!
Of course, the price increase for the price increase, how much outside is, Global Shipping will give you a 5% discount at most!
Anyway, the single-trip fee is implemented. After a trip, the shipping fee may have increased several times when I return.
This kind of thing happened, how could the shipowners on Hong Kong Island not get together to discuss and discuss!
Lu Yu Tea Room, where merchants gather.
Wu Guangyao, Bao Yugang, Dong Yunhao, Zhao Congyan, Cao Wenjin and other major shipowners on Hong Kong Island gathered together to discuss the shipping situation.
"Brother Bao, what's the charter period of your boat?" Wu Guangyao asked curiously, knowing history is one thing, but it would be better to verify it personally.
"It's more than a month to expire, Guangyao, how much do you think the shipping price will increase this time?" Bao Yugang asked concerned that if the freight rose soaring, he could buy one or two more ships.
Everyone focused their eyes on Wu Guangyao. After all, Wu Guangyao's fleet is the largest, the situation around the world is the best, and the vision is also the best.
“It’s uncertain how much it will rise, but it will definitely skyrocket. European and American shipowners are already starting to raise prices. That is to say, it will take only one month for cargo backlogs and oil shortages. Dongying’s shipping prices will naturally fluctuate with European and American prices. So as long as you don’t sign a long-term contract now, then wait for a lot of money to be collected!"
Everyone listened, and my face was full of joy!
"Brother Dong, did you launch a 15,000-ton bulk carrier in France in November?" For these shipowners who are not yet rivals, Wu Guangyao knows their situation as well.
Dong Yunhao not only launched a new ship this year, but also ordered seven ships from Dongying, two oil tankers, three freighters, and two passenger ships. Unfortunately, none of these ships can catch up with this opportunity.
"Well, it's not worth mentioning in front of you. I now have a total load of 150,000 tons, not even a fraction of yours." Dong Yunhao said enviously.
"Brother Dong still has a deadweight of 150,000 tons, and I only have a deadweight of 2,000 tons, a ship. Even sitting with you, I feel ashamed." Bao Yugang has both envy and regret on his face.
Knowing this happened early, I should borrow in advance to buy a freighter. Wouldn’t it be more profitable!
"You are the latest in the industry, a good banker will not do it, so you have to go to the sea!" Dong Yunhao teased.
"When I first came to Hong Kong Island, looking at the busy ships in Victoria Harbour, I was imagining how good it would be to be a captain! For several years, although I was doing trade, I always thought: Shipping is the cheapest. A mode of transportation is bound to be promising! So, Brother Dong, don't laugh at me, shipping is my dream!" Bao Yugang said solemnly.
Zhao Congyan and Bao Yugang have been very close recently, and help line up: "Yes, Old Dong! Even Guangyao has said that shipping on Hong Kong Island is like icing on the cake and twice the result with half the effort; then Yu has just entered this line, and it is definitely the right choice. ."
Zhao Congyan is a man with a steady style, and he is absolutely single-minded in shipping; he does not touch the real estate industry because he feels that Hong Kong Island is always at risk of Z governance, so the assets that can be moved are particularly important; in the late sixties, he and Bao Yugang and Dong Yunhao are the three biggest ship kings on Hong Kong Island, showing their strong strength.
After the 1960s, Zhao Congyan was keen on buying antiques. A friend jokingly said: “Is it a moveable asset to buy so many antiques?”
Zhao Congyan smiled and said, "I personally like it!"
But it was these antiques that became the ‘savior’ of the Huaguang Shipping of the Zhao family in the 1980s.
Zhao Congyan’s son can continue to hang around with women and continue to be the bridegroom every night!
Of course, this is all funeral, not for the time being!
Dongying
Global shipping customers such as Nozawa Nozawa and Sato are dumbfounded!
Global Shipping once again won the bet, the freight has started to rise, but I don’t know how much it will increase!
Even some of the shipowners in Dongying started not taking up the task, and were ready to sit on the ground and start the price!
Nozawa Shang and others hurriedly discussed countermeasures, and the result of the discussion was that they first invited Wu Guangyao to have a meal and took a breath.
Of course, these people are not counting on Universal Shipping to give everyone a very cheap freight or a long-term contract;
Instead, first hope that Global Shipping will continue to charter ships to everyone, instead of renting these second-hand ships to European and American companies in order to earn more freight.
Of course, this is probably difficult too!
Faced with the high freight rates in Europe and the United States, even the fleet of Dongying's own country will go to Europe and the United States in search of huge profits!
Wu Guangyao received an invitation, made an appointment, and took his own flight to Tokyo.
This banquet is not easy. Wu Guangyao specially brought Gao Ke, the person in charge of Global Shipping Dongying, so as not to be tricked by these people.
Sure enough, when he came to the agreed place, Wu Guangyao knew that there was a good show today!
This is a courtyard-style hotel in the suburbs of Tokyo. The decoration is magnificent and exquisite!
Walking into the courtyard, there is a small bridge with flowing water and hot spring mist.
A beautiful waiter in a kimono bent over and opened a folding wooden door, and the scenery on her chest was unobstructed.
This feast, it's not serious!
This must be Nozawa Shang’s idea, after all, he knew that Wu Guangyao had accepted his introduction-Keika and Haruko.
Over the years, Global Shipping has indeed taken care of Showa Energy. Of course, Showa Energy has also taken care of Global Shipping. Doing business is to take care of each other for a long time.
At this time, Wu Guangyao already wants to go back, but these people are gone!
Because, when the female **** reaches a certain level, even the saint has to be recruited!
"Mr. Wu, Manager Gao, welcome!" Everyone warmly welcomed.
Wu Guangyao took a look and found that these are long-term customers of Global Shipping. It seems that everyone wants Wu Guangyao to express their views this time.
At this time, it is already mid-August. The freight rates in Europe and America have risen to US$25 a ton, and the freight rates of Dongying have also risen to US$13 a ton.
After everyone sat down, a woman who looked like a manager walked out of the room immediately, seemingly to make arrangements.
Sure enough, in less than two minutes, a group of women in kimono filed in and lined up, waiting for arrangement.
"Mr. Wu, today you are a distinguished guest. It just so happens that two university students from Tokyo came to this hotel. They admire you very much. Please advise them later!" Nozawa said.
Wu Guangyao was dumbfounded, this TMD is really a coincidence!
Sure enough, this group of women had the most outstanding appearance. The youngest two girls came to the left and right sides of Wu Guangyao and knelt down to sit down.
In Dongying, hotels with Dongying characteristics generally use long tables to hold large gatherings, so there are more than 20 men and women at one table, which is not crowded, but Wu Guangyao feels extremely crowded!
"Are you really students? Why do I feel that you are too proactive, a little bit different!" Wu Guangyao couldn't help but expose the girls on the left and right.
The two girls were stunned, and quickly said: "We are really college students. We have been trained these days. Don't be angry, Mr. Wu!"
Wu Guangyao stopped paying attention to the two of them, did not stop drinking, and let people not eat!
"Mr. Wu, shipping rates have skyrocketed recently. I hope that Global Shipping can continue to cooperate with us. We are even willing to sign high-priced long-term contracts!" The fox showed his tail, and Nozawa Nao finally couldn't help it.
"Long-term contracts are unrealistic. You are all businessmen. If you think about it in another way, you will not make such a decision; Global Shipping can only guarantee and give you a certain discount." Wu Guangyao said calmly.
When everyone heard it, they knew that there was really no hope for this matter. Even if their royal princess was **** and dedicated to this one, there would be no such good thing.
Wu Guangyao has long had a psychological regressive plan to get Suez to lift the blockade, and Global Shipping will continue to receive the support of these people!
So, no matter what these people say today, Wu Guangyao will not exceed this bottom line!

Chapter 261 The curtain opens seeking a monthly pass!On Hong Kong Island in July, thunder showers continued and the heat was unbearable.Fortunately, Wu Guangyao's office has been installed with air conditioning, and finally no longer sweats.Universal Building has only six floors, but there are already more than 300 employees working in the Universal Building;Although it will not be crowded, according to the trend, it will not be crowded in three or four years!Three years later, the commercial complex of the Yangtze River Center was almost completed, and it happened to be moved into the self-built building to work. It saves money and is stylish!And this global building on Queen's Road in Central District can also be rebuilt to build a truly global building, which will become the most beautiful building on Hong Kong Island.Currently, Global Shipping is Asia's well-deserved shipping giant. It currently ranks first in Asia with a deadweight of 2.3 million tons, which does not include the six 50,000-ton tankers under construction;Even the fleets of the various consortiums in Dongying are not as good as the global shipping, and even they only have half the carrying capacity of the global shipping.For second-hand ships, Global Shipping has a total of 1.5 million tons, a total of 80 ships; in terms of new ships, Global Shipping has a total of 800,000 tons, a total of 26 ships.80 second-hand ships are all leased to Dongying's customers, and all of them are short-term contracts-charge-by-trip mode;26 new oil tankers execute short-term contracts in Europe and the United States, and the new ships have not been chartered for a long time.In terms of finance, the balance on the global shipping account is 3 million US dollars, and the loan owed to HSBC is 91 million US dollars.Global Shipping's first batch of new oil tankersloans for 15 30,000-ton oil tankers were fully repaid in June 1955;The subsequent 11 delivered 350,000-ton deadweight oil tankers have a contract price of US$52 million and interest of US$8 million for a total of US$60 million; US$20 million has been paid off, with a loan of US$40 million remaining.The contract price of six 50,000-ton tankers under construction is US$40 million toyin's price is 80% of European and American manufacturing, interest is US$6 million, and the loan is calculated to be US$46 million.In addition to the US$5 million owed by the investment port, it is calculated that Global Shipping's loan is still US$91 million.The total value of the global shipping fleet should be 220 million US dollars including oil tankers under construction;The value of the port is already incalculable. The four container terminals that have invested 10 million U.S. dollars will not be sold by Wu Guangyao even if someone gives them 100 million U.S. dollars now.The rapid development in the past three years is due to the optimism of HSBC, and HSBC itself is a shareholder that owns 22% of Global Shipping; therefore, it is very open in terms of loans!Of course, the benefits of Wu Guangyao's zipper industry are the most important to HSBC!..'There was a knock on the door of Wu Guangyao's office, which disturbed Wu Guangyao's thinking brain."Come in!"He Yuanzhang pushed the door in, with a sense of urgency on his face."Boss, there is news from Europe that the Egyptian government announced that the Suez Canal Company will be reclaimed and all the company's assets will be transferred to the Egyptian government; and the army has occupied both ends of the canal. Ships from non-friendly countries are not allowed to use the canal."Wu Guangyao heard it, pretending to be surprised and said: "Is the news confirmed?""Well, it's confirmed. There is also certain news from the US.""Then what do you think of the subsequent development of the situation?"He Yuanzhang knows that this is the boss who is testing himself. As a vice president of a world-class shipping company, if he does not have the ability to view the overall situation and analyze current affairs, he is simply unqualified."The Suez Canal has always been monopolized by Britain and France. Egypt's move has undoubtedly angered Britain and France. I am afraid that the Middle East will not be peaceful, and there will even be wars to resolve this dispute. Moreover, Egypt has very few so-called friendly countries, so the vast majority of merchant ships in the world , We can only detour to the Cape of Good Hope at the southern tip of Africa. With the increase of roads, the rising freight rate is a trend. This may be a good opportunity for our shipping industry!" He Yuanzhang said.Hong Kong Island is now a British colony, and the conflict with Egypt this time is Britain and France, so ships on Hong Kong Island cannot pass through Suez; similarly, countries such as Dongying and Greece cannot pass.I am afraid that only Russia and some countries in the Middle East can pass!Wu Guangyao nodded and said affirmatively: "What you said is very reasonable! But it is still not comprehensive enough. By detouring the Cape of Good Hope, the journey has increased a lot, and the transportation time will increase a lot; but the number of ships worldwide is fixed, so It will definitely cause a backlog of goods and a shortage of energy. Then the freight price will skyrocket several times."He Yuanzhang almost jumped off the sofa when he heard it!How many times?Is this boss getting hypnotism?At present, the European and American routes are basically around 15 US dollars per ton, even if it is three times, it is 45 US dollars a ton; a 30,000-ton tanker will cost 1.35 million US dollars per trip, and the cost is not much different from before oil prices in this era It is also very cheap, the cost is estimated at 150,000 US dollars, and the net profit is 1.2 million US dollars after one trip.According to the cost of a 30,000-ton oil tanker of US$5.5 million, it only takes five trips and takes 10 months to earn a new oil tanker back.Horror!This is the case. In 1956, Bao Yugang had only one second-hand ship; by 1957, Bao Yugang already had six second-hand ships.One can imagine how big this opportunity is!Of course, the most impressive thing is Wu Guangyao's 80 second-hand ships. With these broken copper and iron, how many new ships will Wu Guangyao make?The freight rates in Europe and the United States have risen, and the freight rates in Dongying will also skyrocket!Furthermore, because Wu Guangyao has been buying second-hand ships in Europe and the United States in recent years, the number of ships in Europe and the United States will decrease accordingly, which will make European and American ships even more scarce."Boss, if this is the case, then as long as Suez is blocked for one year, we can expand the fleet to 5 million tons of deadweight before 1960. At that time, you will be the world's ship king!""What's going on in the future, I'll talk about it later. The top priority is that all the global shipping staff made me nervous and sent someone to figure out the situation in the Middle East, so that the fleet should not be unwarranted!""Yes, I will make arrangements right away!"On July 28th, Egypt announced the third day of taking back the Suez Canal. Most of the ships in the world dared not take the Suez Canal anymore;And European and American shipowners took the lead in starting to raise prices on the ground, and shipping rates began to rise.Wu Guangyao urged the European and American fleets not to stop transportation. The detour will add a good impression in Europe and the United States!Of course, the price increase for the price increase, how much outside is, Global Shipping will give you a 5% discount at most!Anyway, the single-trip fee is implemented. After a trip, the shipping fee may have increased several times when I return.This kind of thing happened, how could the shipowners on Hong Kong Island not get together to discuss and discuss!Lu Yu Tea Room, where merchants gather.Wu Guangyao, Bao Yugang, Dong Yunhao, Zhao Congyan, Cao Wenjin and other major shipowners on Hong Kong Island gathered together to discuss the shipping situation."Brother Bao, what's the charter period of your boat?" Wu Guangyao asked curiously, knowing history is one thing, but it would be better to verify it personally."It's more than a month to expire, Guangyao, how much do you think the shipping price will increase this time?" Bao Yugang asked concerned that if the freight rose soaring, he could buy one or two more ships.Everyone focused their eyes on Wu Guangyao. After all, Wu Guangyao's fleet is the largest, the situation around the world is the best, and the vision is also the best.It's uncertain how much it will rise, but it will definitely skyrocket. European and American shipowners are already starting to raise prices. That is to say, it will take only one month for cargo backlogs and oil shortages. Dongying's shipping prices will naturally fluctuate with European and American prices. So as long as you don't sign a long-term contract now, then wait for a lot of money to be collected!"Everyone listened, and my face was full of joy!"Brother Dong, did you launch a 15,000-ton bulk carrier in France in November?" For these shipowners who are not yet rivals, Wu Guangyao knows their situation as well.Dong Yunhao not only launched a new ship this year, but also ordered seven ships from Dongying, two oil tankers, three freighters, and two passenger ships. Unfortunately, none of these ships can catch up with this opportunity."Well, it's not worth mentioning in front of you. I now have a total load of 150,000 tons, not even a fraction of yours." Dong Yunhao said enviously."Brother Dong still has a deadweight of 150,000 tons, and I only have a deadweight of 2,000 tons, a ship. Even sitting with you, I feel ashamed." Bao Yugang has both envy and regret on his face.Knowing this happened early, I should borrow in advance to buy a freighter. Wouldn't it be more profitable!"You are the latest in the industry, a good banker will not do it, so you have to go to the sea!" Dong Yunhao teased."When I first came to Hong Kong Island, looking at the busy ships in Victoria Harbour, I was imagining how good it would be to be a captain! For several years, although I was doing trade, I always thought: Shipping is the cheapest. A mode of transportation is bound to be promising! So, Brother Dong, don't laugh at me, shipping is my dream!" Bao Yugang said solemnly.Zhao Congyan and Bao Yugang have been very close recently, and help line up: "Yes, Old Dong! Even Guangyao has said that shipping on Hong Kong Island is like icing on the cake and twice the result with half the effort; then Yu has just entered this line, and it is definitely the right choice. ."Zhao Congyan is a man with a steady style, and he is absolutely single-minded in shipping; he does not touch the real estate industry because he feels that Hong Kong Island is always at risk of Z governance, so the assets that can be moved are particularly important; in the late sixties, he and Bao Yugang and Dong Yunhao are the three biggest ship kings on Hong Kong Island, showing their strong strength.After the 1960s, Zhao Congyan was keen on buying antiques. A friend jokingly said: Is it a moveable asset to buy so many antiques?Zhao Congyan smiled and said, "I personally like it!"But it was these antiques that became the savior' of the Huaguang Shipping of the Zhao family in the 1980s.Zhao Congyan's son can continue to hang around with women and continue to be the bridegroom every night!Of course, this is all funeral, not for the time being!DongyingGlobal shipping customers such as Nozawa Nozawa and Sato are dumbfounded!Global Shipping once again won the bet, the freight has started to rise, but I don't know how much it will increase!Even some of the shipowners in Dongying started not taking up the task, and were ready to sit on the ground and start the price!Nozawa Shang and others hurriedly discussed countermeasures, and the result of the discussion was that they first invited Wu Guangyao to have a meal and took a breath.Of course, these people are not counting on Universal Shipping to give everyone a very cheap freight or a long-term contract;Instead, first hope that Global Shipping will continue to charter ships to everyone, instead of renting these second-hand ships to European and American companies in order to earn more freight.Of course, this is probably difficult too!Faced with the high freight rates in Europe and the United States, even the fleet of Dongying's own country will go to Europe and the United States in search of huge profits!Wu Guangyao received an invitation, made an appointment, and took his own flight to Tokyo.This banquet is not easy. Wu Guangyao specially brought Gao Ke, the person in charge of Global Shipping Dongying, so as not to be tricked by these people.Sure enough, when he came to the agreed place, Wu Guangyao knew that there was a good show today!This is a courtyard-style hotel in the suburbs of Tokyo. The decoration is magnificent and exquisite!Walking into the courtyard, there is a small bridge with flowing water and hot spring mist.A beautiful waiter in a kimono bent over and opened a folding wooden door, and the scenery on her chest was unobstructed.This feast, it's not serious!This must be Nozawa Shang's idea, after all, he knew that Wu Guangyao had accepted his introduction-Keika and Haruko.Over the years, Global Shipping has indeed taken care of Showa Energy. Of course, Showa Energy has also taken care of Global Shipping. Doing business is to take care of each other for a long time.At this time, Wu Guangyao already wants to go back, but these people are gone!Because, when the female **** reaches a certain level, even the saint has to be recruited!"Mr. Wu, Manager Gao, welcome!" Everyone warmly welcomed.Wu Guangyao took a look and found that these are long-term customers of Global Shipping. It seems that everyone wants Wu Guangyao to express their views this time.At this time, it is already mid-August. The freight rates in Europe and America have risen to US$25 a ton, and the freight rates of Dongying have also risen to US$13 a ton.After everyone sat down, a woman who looked like a manager walked out of the room immediately, seemingly to make arrangements.Sure enough, in less than two minutes, a group of women in kimono filed in and lined up, waiting for arrangement."Mr. Wu, today you are a distinguished guest. It just so happens that two university students from Tokyo came to this hotel. They admire you very much. Please advise them later!" Nozawa said.Wu Guangyao was dumbfounded, this TMD is really a coincidence!Sure enough, this group of women had the most outstanding appearance. The youngest two girls came to the left and right sides of Wu Guangyao and knelt down to sit down.In Dongying, hotels with Dongying characteristics generally use long tables to hold large gatherings, so there are more than 20 men and women at one table, which is not crowded, but Wu Guangyao feels extremely crowded!"Are you really students? Why do I feel that you are too proactive, a little bit different!" Wu Guangyao couldn't help but expose the girls on the left and right.The two girls were stunned, and quickly said: "We are really college students. We have been trained these days. Don't be angry, Mr. Wu!"Wu Guangyao stopped paying attention to the two of them, did not stop drinking, and let people not eat!"Mr. Wu, shipping rates have skyrocketed recently. I hope that Global Shipping can continue to cooperate with us. We are even willing to sign high-priced long-term contracts!" The fox showed his tail, and Nozawa Nao finally couldn't help it."Long-term contracts are unrealistic. You are all businessmen. If you think about it in another way, you will not make such a decision; Global Shipping can only guarantee and give you a certain discount." Wu Guangyao said calmly.When everyone heard it, they knew that there was really no hope for this matter. Even if their royal princess was **** and dedicated to this one, there would be no such good thing.Wu Guangyao has long had a psychological regressive plan to get Suez to lift the blockade, and Global Shipping will continue to receive the support of these people!So, no matter what these people say today, Wu Guangyao will not exceed this bottom line!End of this chapter
