Chapter 266 [400 million dollar plan! 】(Ask a monthly pass!)

Just after New Year's Day in 1957, Wu Guangyao held a general meeting of shareholders in the Global Building. This time, even the HSBC bank’s senior class was invited.

Wu Guangyao, He Yuanzhang, Sundashi, and Guy (HSBC's big class) are four people preparing for a meeting in the conference room.

The two representatives of HSBC Bank are a little excited. They probably think that the new year has begun. Wu Guangyao is going to take out the money he earned last year and give everyone a dividend!

From the end of July last year to the present, Global Shipping has made a net profit of US$180 million in five months, and this market continues.

Even if the loan is paid off, there will still be more than 90 million US dollars in cash flow; of course, Wu Guangyao will not pay off the loan in advance.

Wu Guangyao distributed the four stacks of materials in his hand to the three of them, and kept a copy for himself.

The homepage of these materials clearly reads ‘400 Million Dollar Plan! ’After seeing the other three people, they were frightened.

Half a moment, Guy raised his head incredibly first, and said: "Mr. Wu, do you know the concept of 400 million US dollars?"

Wu Guangyao said funny: "Of course I know that I have made 180 million for everyone in the last five months; then I ask Mr. Guy, is 400 million really a lot?"

Guy was stunned, thinking in his heart, yeah!

The market will come in another four months, will there be 400 million US dollars?

The reason why Guy reacted so strongly is that HSBC's global net profit in the past year was only US$40 million.

This ten-fold gap, and it hasn’t taken a year for global shipping!

Fortunately, this kind of market is rare in decades, otherwise HSBC would want to open its own shipping company!

Of course, we still have to consider the Great Depression of shipping, which is the market for a large number of shipping companies to close down directly.

"Mr. Wu, do you think this market will last for another four months?" Sundars asked.

Wu Guangyao took a sip of tea before he said, "I still don't know the sentence; even if it lasts for another two months, our global shipping will have a cash flow of 200 million US dollars. Is it that HSBC still refuses to take a loan? "

"But, Mr. Wu, as you said before, after this incident, shipping will fall into a low ebb, so why are you expanding so wildly? We can completely stabilize the expansion and reduce unnecessary risks." Sundars said, This $400 million plan is too exaggerated. If it weren't for Global Shipping to be the absolute controlling shareholder, then the two representatives of HSBC would definitely jump up and refute it.

"It's just a short low tide. When we build the ship, we will return to normal levels long ago. Think about whether the industrial level in Europe and the United States has unlimited potential. It will increase crazily, and European and American families will be popularized. In short, I predict that in the 1960s, European and American industries will enter a real vigorous development. Then, with the performance of our global shipping in this event, I am afraid that the shipping industry in Europe and the United States will become global Shipping is the real shipping star" Wu Guangyao explained.

This is the disadvantage of China Merchants Bank’s shareholding. Of course, compared with the disadvantages, the advantages are even more. In the future, HSBC may sell it for its own benefit, fearing that it may be sold by British-owned foreign banks.

"Since you think the Dongying shipbuilding industry has matured, and the price is 80% of that of European and American shipyards, why do you want to build 200 million US dollars of ships in Europe and America this time?" Guy asked again.

Wu Guangyao’s plan is designed in all aspects, and it is normal that there are many problems.

"Since we want to start business in these countries, how can we fail to pay politicians from these countries, then this ship order is a kind of intrigue. The shipbuilding industry is a heavy industry and requires a lot of labor. As long as we build several 10,000-ton ships in one country, I can get a good reputation. This is the so-called name vote. Only in this way can our global shipping work more smoothly in these countries. Moreover, with so many ships, Dongying can't build it at all. What do you think!"

Wu Guangyao remembers that the 15,000-ton ship Dong Yunhao built in France was launched, and a deputy minister-level official came. Dong Yunhao was not very satisfied. He felt that France did not pay much attention to him.

So on the contrary, the shipbuilding industry is really popular with all countries!

Wu Guangyao has built a lot of ships in Dongying. The prime minister has been there twice, and the cabinet minister-level officials have one each time.

These people tried their best to please Wu Guangyao. Of course, there is another reason for this, that is, Wu Guangyao was the first ship owner to build a big ship in Dongying.

Of course, these officials of Dongying hope to use this as an advertisement to promote themselves to ships around the world!

This time the '400 million US dollar plan' has just been established. The initial work is to send a team to the five countries of East Asia, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and the United States. Guests of the country.

If that country is not willing to meet Wu Guangyao, then I am sorry, PASS!

Of course, this is basically impossible!

Even if Wu Guangyao does not build ships, the leaders of these countries will be very interested with the shipping strength shown this time.

Shipping is the overlord of transportation in this era, and its social influence is extremely high!

Otherwise, the London royal family will not rush to award Wu Guangyao, after all, he is only in his twenties.

Half a month later, Wu Guangyao received invitations from the five countries and expressed their willingness to welcome each other.

Wu Guangyao’s trip this time took more than two months, and it was the first time that he saw leaders of so many countries.

The contract of 400 million US dollars has also been signed and completed.

Among them, the United States, England, France, and Germany have signed a total of 200 million U.S. dollars in contracts.

The US$75 million order was signed in the United States for a total of 9 50,000-ton tankers with a total deadweight of 450,000 tons;

The US$73 million order signed in Yingjili, a total of 9 50,000-ton tankers, with a total deadweight of 450,000 tons;

Signed an order of 28 million US dollars in France, a total of 6 30,000-ton freighters, with a total deadweight of 180,000 tons;

The order signed in Germany is 24 million US dollars, with a total of 5 30,000-ton freighters with a total deadweight of 150,000 tons.

The total deadweight of freighters/tankers in the four European and American countries is 1.23 million tons.

In Japan, a US$200 million order was signed, with a total of 25 50,000-ton tankers and 10 30,000-ton cargo ships with a total deadweight of 1.55 million tons.

In other words, 400 million U.S. dollars bought 2.78 million tons of deadweight vessel!

This time Wu Guangyao did not keep a low profile anymore, but brought all the reporters from the Oriental News with him.

Therefore, in the past two months, Global Shipping and Wu Guangyao have also set off a heat wave in the world!

Countries around the world are reporting, after all, this is a 400 million dollar business.

Some countries have even called Wu Guangyao the "World Ship King". Of course, this is just a news exaggeration; not to mention that these ships have not been delivered yet, even if they have been delivered, they can only be ranked in the top three in the world.

The important thing is that Wu Guangyao will gradually eliminate second-hand ships. It seems that by 1960, it could only maintain a deadweight of 4.5 to 5 million tons.

Wu Guangyao returned to Hong Kong Island. It was already in early April, and it was less than a month before the Suez Canal reopened.

At this time, Global Shipping has guaranteed a profit of US$380 million for 9 months.

Back on Hong Kong Island, Wu Guangyao knew his identity and status, and he was once again taller. Everyone looked at him with admiration and envy.

Being able to meet the leaders of several big countries in the world, he is obviously already a top businessman, although this businessman is going to send money.
