Chapter 280 [Want me to invest? Then I will invest in the port! 】

Wu Guangyao’s Cheung Kong Real Estate acquired land and properties in a low-key manner at the beginning. After being published by the media, it began to become unscrupulous and wanton acquisitions without caring what others thought of it.

Until late October, the 50 million Hong Kong dollars of Cheung Kong Real Estate was finally spent.

At this time, Cheung Kong Properties has 200,000 square feet of commercial land, 1.1 million square feet of residential land, and five six-story commercial buildings in the prosperous part of the island.

The bargain-hunting price for commercial land is around 70 Hong Kong dollars per square foot, and the bargain-hunting price for residential land is between 18 Hong Kong dollars and 22 Hong Kong dollars. A total of 15 million Hong Kong dollars was spent on five buildings.

Bold and shrewd people, after seeing Wu Guangyao’s Cheung Kong Real Estate's actions, they will also try to buy some land and properties to buy the bottom;

More people are thinking, "Shark Bold" may lose money this time. I'm afraid everyone is laughing.

He Xian and Zhong Ziguang, who were far away in Macau, naturally knew about this, and the two got together to discuss.

"Guangyao may be real this time. I am optimistic about the prospects of Hong Kong Island real estate. If he is really allowed to copy it, I am afraid that it will make a profit of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars! I don't know whether our choice is wrong or right?" Zhong Ziguang's mood To put it more complicatedly, the dividends were raised by himself. If Wu Guangyao really earns tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in the future, he will inevitably be complained by He Xian and Lin Youde.

"Anyway, the two of us naturally hope that the real estate industry on Hong Kong Island will flourish. After all, we are the shareholders of Cheung Kong Holdings. Cheung Kong Holdings and the Cheung Kong Center Commercial Complex are the giants. For other things, since the dividends are distributed, don't worry about it. How did Guangyao operate, I hope he is lucky!" He Xian said.

People's hearts are complicated. When Wu Guangyao makes a lot of money, Zhong Ziguang and He Xian will definitely feel regretful in their hearts; then, in their hearts, they may also be thinking if Wu Guangyao reads this market wrong. , Everyone may feel better in their hearts.

Of course, this kind of psychology can never be said!

From November, Wu Guangyao began to really busy, because in March last year, the custom-made ships began to launch;

As the boss of Global Shipping, Wu Guangyao will naturally try his best to participate in the launching ceremony of every huge ship.

Not because of how important this ship is to Wu Guangyao, but because Wu Guangyao wants to use the new ship launching ceremony as a link to get to know and get acquainted with important people from various countries, and to broaden his contacts and horizons.

As a large shipowner with a deadweight of 5 million tons immediately, it is naturally impossible to shrink on Hong Kong Island. Instead, he needs to go to the politicians of various countries to inquire first-hand information that is useful to him.

The first stop of Wu Guangyao was London.

The launching ceremony of the first oil tanker built in London, the Prime Minister of London and the female king will participate, and the female king will also act as a tailor, which can be said to have given Wu Guangyao's face.

The 50,000-ton tanker may not be regarded as a huge ship after the 1970s; but in this era, it definitely counts!

Among the shipowners on Hong Kong Island, ships of about 15,000 tons are already considered the largest;

The 50,000-ton tanker is the main force only in the hands of European and American shipping giants.

Watching the moment when the giant wheel was launched into the water, a huge wave was stirred up, and Wu Guangyao's heart also showed great ambition.

In the 1960s, European and American economies continued to develop, and oil became a hot commodity;

The oil-producing countries in the Middle East made huge fortunes, and the European and American oil dealers also made a lot of money, and the ship owners who transported the oil were also rich in oil.

A 50,000-ton oil tanker will make a trip to Europe from the Persian Gulf, and the one-way revenue can reach millions of dollars, or even millions of dollars;

A new oil tanker, if there is no accident, it will be able to pay back within three years.

It can be seen how profitable European and American shipping in the 1960s was!

Because of this, Bao Yugang only began to dabble in oil transportation in 1960, and by 1968 he already had 3.8 million tons of oil tankers.

This data is more eye-catching than Wu Guangyao's achievements from the late 1940s to 1958. You must know that Wu Guangyao is a traverser; of course, Global Shipping currently has no debts.

After the tanker was launched, the next thing was the highlight; Wu Guangyao held a cocktail party in London's most luxurious hotel to entertain everyone.

If it wasn't for Yingyue Manor that was still under repair, Wu Guangyao would definitely hold it there.

The reception invited a lot of well-known figures from London's political and business sessions. Unknowingly, Wu Guangyao's contacts in London are already very strong. Needless to say, he has a lot of official contacts. The business community also has a lot of achievements, and the Guangxi consortium has cooperated a lot, such as HSBC. , Prudential, Bullying, Robert Fleming, William Qilian; many large oil companies in London are also allies of Wu Guangyao's cooperation.

At the    reception, the Queen and his wife and Prime Minister Harold also took time to attend and chatted with Wu Guangyao.

"Mr. Wu, London welcomes your investment at any time. We are willing to assure you that you will be treated fairly!" The Prime Minister looked at Wu Guangyao with a sincere expression and said.

This Chinese is not simple, he unknowingly makes his career bloom all over the world.

Just say that the business in Dongying is enough to make London jealous; Lenovo, global shipping, zipper industry, etc., all of which can contribute a lot of jobs and taxes.

In the United States, it also acquired a high-end hotel and established a hotel management company to invest in the construction of a holiday hotel.

Wu Guangyao listened, and immediately knew what these people thought. Unfortunately, he is a businessman, and it is impossible to do things without interest; and he will not change anything with a word of you!

Of course, you can’t speak so rigidly: "Mr. Harold, I am personally more optimistic about the economic development of London, and I will seriously consider it in the future."

It’s not impossible to invest in London, but you need to think carefully about the investment project and how much money you can make for yourself.

London’s life has been a bit difficult in recent years. The government’s revenue and expenditure are severely imbalanced and the country’s funds are insufficient; coupled with the tense Anglo-American relationship in October 1956 due to the Suez crisis.

"If Mr. Wu wants to invest in any project, he can call my office directly. I am willing to provide Mr. Wu with as much convenience as possible!" Prime Minister Harold continued to tempt him.

It’s no wonder that the prime minister of a country attaches great importance to Wu Guangyao. It is because Wu Guangyao’s industry is too large and his strength is enough for a country’s leaders to value it.

"If I want to invest in a port and build a container terminal in England, I wonder if Mr. Harold can make it convenient for me?" Wu Guangyao sees that if he does not express his opinions, these people always think about themselves.

It’s not easy to bully yourself, so invest in ports yourself; ports are undoubtedly very important to a country, and it can be said that it is the lifeblood of it.

Although Wu Guangyao only asked to invest in a container terminal, it was obviously a headache for London.

The lease term of the container terminal is at least 50 years, otherwise others will not consider it at all; this kind of long-term lease is like Wu Guangyao colonizing England.

The container terminal is bound to enter a stage of vigorous development within five years. If you start early, you can save a lot of energy and money.

"Well, in principle, there is no problem, but I need to hold a meeting to discuss this. Mr. Wu would like to invest personally, or Global Shipping to invest?"

"It is an investment by Global Terminals, a subsidiary of Global Shipping."

Wu Guangyao threw an investment that caused these people a headache, and finally settled the entanglement.

The prime minister and the wife~Wang and his wife did not stay long. When they left, the atmosphere improved a lot.

Wu Guangyao talked with some cooperating allies for a while, and then involuntarily came to Princess Margot and Madam Sarton.

Because Kayla is becoming more and more famous in London, Wu Guangyao has avoided appearing with her in some places. After all, the identity of a lover may not be good for her.

"Miss Margot, I always thought you just liked private receptions and stories in the literary circle; I didn't expect you to be in a good mood today and didn't leave early." Wu Guangyao raised his glass and gestured with Princess Margot and Madam Sutton.

Princess Margot really wanted to leave early, but her sister had left, so she would naturally represent the royal family and give this promising Chinese a little more face.

"Mr. Wu is blaming my sister for leaving early?" Princess Margot's words were a bit big, obviously deliberate.

This girl is not easy to mess with!

"How come, the queen can take time out of her busy schedule to participate in the cocktail party, I am already very grateful!" Wu Guangyao felt that he would die a London mascot. You can't be disrespectful, or you will be in trouble. .

Princess Margot was very proud, and finally recovered a city in history; this hateful Chinese finally knew who could not afford to offend.

A few simple greetings, Wu Guangyao went to communicate with the next goal.
