Chapter 319 [Wishful thinking]

Wu Guangyao felt a little bit of pressure from the customers introduced by Aikawa Ichiro at the banquet;

That is Bao Yugang’s low-cost long-term lease. Does it have a big impact on global shipping?

Thinking about it, Wu Guangyao thinks that the influence is somewhat, but very limited;

First, without the full support of HSBC, Bao Yugang’s fleet would have been reduced by at least half!

Second, Wu Guangyao has signed a large number of long-term contracts in Europe, America and Dongying, and Bao Yugang only started to enter the European and American markets this year; the market has been robbed by global shipping. How many orders can you get if it is cheaper?

Thinking about this, Wu Guangyao felt relieved!

However, for the customers introduced by Aikawa Ichiro, we still send Koko to negotiate and try our best!

Never underestimate opponents, especially those successful historical figures, this is Wu Guangyao’s motto!

Therefore, there will never be too many customers that can be won by Global Shipping!

This time we ordered 15 oil tankers with a deadweight of 100,000 tons and 10 cargo ships with a deadweight of 50,000 tons, but not all of them were built in Dongying;

Even if shipyards in Europe and America are 20% more expensive than shipyards in Dongying, Wu Guangyao will still choose to build some freighters in Europe and America.

For example, this time, all 15 oil tankers were built in Dongying, but 8 of the 10 freighters were built in Britain, the United States and France;

The main reason is that Wu Guangyao needs interpersonal relationships over there.

Like Aikawa Ichiro of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, shipyards in Europe and the United States will also introduce some businesses to Global Shipping in order to win over the customer of Global Shipping, and help them communicate with Global Shipping.

In short, Wu Guangyao thinks it’s 20% expensive, but it’s actually nothing;

Compared with the profit created by an oil tanker, it can only be said to be sprinkling water.

Speaking of interpersonal relationships, Wu Guangyao intends to hold a special reception at Dongying this time, inviting customers of Global Shipping to have a chat together.

The three-year memorandum of cooperation signed with old customers has expired last year;

Fortunately, everyone seems to be accustomed to the working style of global shipping and has not changed much.

So, as the boss of Global Shipping, I naturally have to give you a good dinner to thank you for your support.

This is also an annual appreciation meeting for old customers. Global Shipping will provide these old customers with gluttonous meals and Dongying beauties.

The location of the cocktail party was found by Wu Guangyao, who was in charge of Global Shipping Toyo Koko, and it was a hotel operating in the suburbs of Tokyo;

Characteristics, that is, there are many beautiful women and talented geishas. It is a courtyard-style hotel frequented by dignitaries and wealthy businessmen of the East.

"Mr. Wu, long time no see! I thought you were focusing on the electrical industry now?" As soon as Nozawa Shang and Wu Guangyao met, they joked familiarly.

is not necessarily a joke. In the past one or two years, Lenovo has continued to exert its strength and firmly occupy the third place in the Dongying electrical industry, second only to Panasonic and Sharp.

"Haha, Mr. Nozawa, you are wrong to blame me! My presence in Lenovo is very low. Even many middle-level cadres don’t know me. I am like an investor. Of course, I’m happy to do this. Investors."

Unlike other industries, Wu Guangyao will deliberately play down his influence in front of the public when it comes to Lenovo's electrical business;

In the past few years, he has never appeared in the public as the boss of Lenovo Electric, and has packaged Lenovo Electric into a Dongying electric appliance enterprise;

But internally, it is different. Wu Guangyao will subdue all the senior executives. The middle-level management will also report to Wu Guangyao and follow Wu Guangyao's teachings. Wu Guangyao's signature is also required for post adjustment.

To put it simply, it's like the later generations of Huaxia people didn't know that such companies as Arowana, Zhonghua Toothpaste, and Master Kong were foreigners.

As soon as the two chatted for a few words, guests came one after another, and Wu Guangyao greeted them enthusiastically.

There are 22 customers in all, large and small, but they have one thing in common, that is, they are all regular and loyal customers of Global Shipping.

After sitting down, a mother, Sang, walked up to Ko Ke and asked; Ko Ke was the host and arranger of the banquet. After all, Wu Guangyao was a person of great status, and it was not enough to do these activities.

Gao Ke looked at everyone, and signaled that Mama Sang could start, and then a group of girls filed in, dazzling people.

Wu Guangyao signaled everyone to choose first, and he could choose last. Anyway, Wu Guangyao would not play for real.

Then, Wu Guangyao talked about the opening remarks and ignited the atmosphere: "Everyone, I invite you to this banquet to thank you all for continuing to support us in the past year. Global Shipping builds ships in Dongying. Global Shipping provides Dongying customers with preferential power and long-term contracts. I believe that Dongying customers will also choose us for Global Shipping. Finally, toast to our friendship!"

Everyone applauded. In everyone’s opinion, after cooperating for so long, we are satisfied with each other and deserve our applause!

Next, a geisha with a white face began to walk in and perform the favorite show of Dongying people, and everyone chatted while watching.

"Global shipping is very popular in Europe and America!" Sato opened a topic, but there may be something in the words.

"Global shipping is very popular in the world, mainly due to our navigation technology, ship management, number of seafarers, and the price that customers are most concerned about. We can say that we have achieved everyone's unanimous approval. Mr. Sato cooperated with us. It's been more than ten years, isn't it the best proof?" Wu Guangyao answered with ease.

In fact, Wu Guangyao knew that Sato was worried that Wu Guangyao focused on European and American customers while ignoring Dongying customers.

After all, the price of Dongying can be less beautiful than those of Europe and the United States. Greek ship kings like Onassis and Niagas simply cannot see Dongying’s market.

"That is, after so many years of cooperation, Global Shipping can't treat our old customers badly!"

"Mr. Sato joked. I always treat customers equally; I treat Dongying friends even more sincerely. Therefore, please rest assured, Mr. Sato, that Dongying's market is still our main market for global shipping, and we will continue to invest in new ships in the future. "

"Well, Mr. Wu is really our good friend, come and have a drink!"

Looking at the young girl in the room, Wu Guangyao sighed in the hands of a group of old men.

During World War II, a large number of men died in the war.

The wives of these men became widows, and naturally there are many playthings that have become surviving men; better ones can find an American soldier, be a temporary couple for a few years, and get a lot of money; almost degenerate into A man's plaything, and it is still a man's plaything.

More than ten years have passed, and causality has not spared the descendants of these warmongers; because the daughters of these men have no pillars at home, there is a great chance that they will become men’s playthings.

So, it's simply self-sufficient!

Shell Petroleum Company is formed by the merger of British Shell Transportation and Trading Company and Royal Dutch Petroleum Company; the oil tankers leased by Global Shipping include 6 50,000-ton oil tankers with a total deadweight of 300,000 tons.

Essol, the person in charge of Shell, saw an Asian man, but it was Bao Yugang.

It turned out that Bao Yu just saw that after Europe and the United States entered the 1960s, the industry was booming, and he felt that the oil in the Middle East must be their hot commodity;

Then I just entered the European and American markets and leased the boats to major British and American oil companies to obtain higher profits.

Bao Yu has just set foot in the shipping industry in 1955. Most of his operations are bulk carriers with small tonnage;

In addition, he is rented to Dongying users for a long time, the rent is not high, and the money he makes is very limited.

Although it is conducive to bank loans, it restricts the development of the fleet on the contrary;

Six years later, Bao Yugang is still an unknown junior in the shipping industry, with a total load capacity of only 200,000 tons.

So, how can Bao Yugang, who is ambitious and ambitious, be willing to continue like this!

"Hello, Mr. Essol! I am Bao Yugang, the shipowner of Hong Kong Island. I want to provide oil tankers for your shell company." Bao Yugang spares no room to promote his shipping company.

Essol was taken aback, but he did not expect that the Chinese shipowner came to sell him!

However, European and American oil companies and other tenants generally only believe in big ship owners such as Wu Guangyao, Onassis, and Niagas, and disdain other Chinese ship owners, especially those who are not known as Bao Yugang. The later generations who have been passed on; they generally think that the ships of other Chinese shipowners are old, poorly managed, and in poor technical condition.

"I'm sorry! Mr. Bao, we don't rent old ships." Essol said, because he didn't believe Bao Yugang had a new oil tanker, so he found a reason to push it away.

Bao Yugang naturally refuses to give up, because he is the kind of person who will not give up easily when he sees the goal.

"Mr. Essol, I can buy a new oil tanker right away, please consider us." Bao Yugang continued to lobby.

Actually, Bao Yugang doesn’t even have an old oil tanker, because Bao Yugang’s habit is to find tenants before ordering new ships.

One can imagine how a world-famous oil company can trust a small shipping company that does not even have oil tankers.

"After your new oil tanker has the eyebrows, let's talk about it again!" Essol obviously didn't say anything to death, but overall he didn't trust Bao Yugang at all. These words were just excuses.

However, Bao Yu just heard it, and felt that he had a great opportunity, so he decided to adjust his strategy, first buy a tanker, and then negotiate with a European and American oil company.

"Okay! Thank you Mr. Essol for your reception. I will order a new oil tanker as quickly as possible. I will come to your company for a small talk!" Bao Yugang still did not see the loss, but said confidently.

Essol was taken aback, but he didn’t expect Bao Yu to be so stiff, and he immediately got some good impressions!

Out of Shell Oil Company, Bao Yugang weighed his purse and thought it was okay to buy four small oil tankers of 15,000 tons with a loan.

As long as you have a ship, you can come to Europe and the United States to lobby again. I believe there is a great opportunity. This is what Bao Yu thought when he went back home!
