Chapter 373 [Fleet worth 2.5 billion US dollars]

Sunshine in March, the waters of Victoria Harbour are sparkling and beautiful;

A yacht is moving slowly in Victoria Harbour, which is particularly eye-catching;

At this time on Hong Kong Island, yachts are definitely a new and exotic thing!

Sitting on the yacht are a group of directors of the Universal Group, Wu Guangyao, He Yuanzhang, Gao Ke, Sundars and HSBC's vice chairman Cyber.

The yacht belongs to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. There are also two beautiful waiters on the yacht busy preparing food and drinks for everyone. This is a small banquet.

Sundus looked at the buildings on both sides of the strait (Kowloon and the island), and couldn’t help but arouse a heart of admiration;

Looking at both sides, the Yangtze River Center Commercial Complex and Global Building are the most eye-catching;

Foreign tourists looking at these two buildings will definitely ask people about the owners of the two buildings. This is the charm of landmark buildings.

"Good spirit, seeing these two buildings, everyone will be impressed by Mr. Wu's spirit!" Sundars sighed sincerely. The Global Building and Yangtze River Center have become famous and have become world-renowned buildings.

He Yuanzhang and Gao Ke both had a smile on their faces after listening!

Only an unnatural expression flashed on Cyber’s face!

"Mr. Sandus, the HSBC Bank Building (12-storey building in the Central District) has been in the building on Hong Kong Island since the 1930s and has been the leader in architecture for more than 20 years. This is also a remarkable achievement." Wu Guangyao replied.

"Haha, it's the old calendar. Will HSBC have a chance to lead this in the future!" Sundars exclaimed.

The financial strength shown by Wu Guangyao this time has amazed the business people on Hong Kong Island!

The cash flow of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars has been exposed. Although there are prepared preparations (the establishment of China Everbright Bank), it is undoubtedly an amazing thing.

At this time, on Hong Kong Island, millionaires belong to the initial stage of the millionaires. Ten thousand millionaires can only be considered so-so. Only billionaires are the tycoons on Hong Kong Island;

However, the wealth of these people is never measured by cash, but by companies and properties;

Furthermore, affected by the bank run this time, properties on Hong Kong Island have begun to fall into a low tide, generally dropping by about 30% to 50%.

There are only a handful of rich people who can come up with tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, and the only individuals who can come up with hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in cash flow are the Chinese leaders in front of them.

No, it seems that this Chinese can no longer be viewed with the eyes of a Hong Kong Island rich man;

even has a place in the world, and it is likely to be the richest man in the world.

(PS: There are reports of the world’s richest man in this era, and the historical world’s richest man was picked by Onassis.)

Wu Guangyao did not take up this topic, but brought the topic to the shipbuilding plan;

Only the tighter you tie HSBC, the more HSBC will support Wu Guangyao’s business activities on Hong Kong Island;

Taking the net profit of Global Shipping last year as an example, the profit of HSBC Bank is about 1.5 times that of HSBC’s own business;

Think about it, do they have the courage to fall out with Wu Guangyao?

Absolutely not!

It's Wu Guangyao who wants to kick them out. It's very simple!

Directly divide the ship and let them manage it themselves;

Who has the ability to run such a large-scale fleet, without the support of talents, you can't play at all!

In addition, customers in Europe, America, and Dongying basically only recognize Wu Guangyao, but you are not the one who opened a bank, and others can rest assured to hand over the business to you.

Based on this, Wu Guangyao determined that HSBC would never offend himself, and this time he dared to take food from HSBC!

Of course, Wu Guangyao still intends to tie HSBC to his warship, and the tighter the tie, the better.

Therefore, Wu Guangyao once again proposed to build a ship with a deadweight of 2 million tons;

The more HSBC invests, the closer their relationship with Wu Guangyao.

"Mr. Wu, the total deadweight of the global shipping fleet is even close to the total deadweight of the Soviet merchant ships. Can the shipbuilding plan be postponed?" Sundars asked, as a banker, conservative is the most important character. .

Wu Guangyao smiled relaxedly and said to the two directors of HSBC: "HSBC actually invested about US$15 million in the Global Group. Although it has not paid dividends for so many years, its value has doubled dozens of times. We will not for the time being. Talking about the value of the fleet, the income of so many terminals can make HSBC's investment a classic. What I mean by this is that I have not divided a cent of the Universal Group, but I believe that in the near future , A year’s dividends can make us exclaim!"

When Wu Guangyao said about dividends, the HSBC duo couldn’t help but smile, too high!

Sundus adjusted his mentality and continued to ask: "If the Global Group continues to increase ships, can it be guaranteed in business?"

This question finally came up with the idea. Wu Guangyao explained: "Business is won. Only after we have a ship, others will give you business. Don't worry. From my analysis, the world's industry is booming. It has just begun to rise. This wave of development will not end in less than 20 years. In other words, in the 1960s and 1970s, shipping could not have big risks."

Hearing Wu Guangyao's analysis, the two of HSBC exchanged eyes.

"Well then! Although I don't have the confidence of yours, I can also analyze the finances of Global Shipping and conclude that there is indeed no risk in shipbuilding. After all, the profit last year was US$330 million, and the price of 2 million tons of ships is no more than this price. ; In addition, you lease most of the boats for a long period of time, and the profitability is very stable." Sundas said.

After this order is placed, Global Shipping already has 15 million tons of vessels with a total value of 2.5 billion US dollars;

At the same time, it also carried nearly $500 million in debt.

Debt seems to be a lot, but the debt ratio is very low!

The Ritz-Carlton, Ginza, Tokyo.

Wu Guangyao woke up from the presidential suite, shook his head, and felt his consciousness. He was in good condition and had no symptoms of drinking!

Yesterday was the day when the Ritz-Carlton Ginza Hotel opened. Wu Guangyao invited many dignitaries, consortiums, and wealthy people from Dongying to attend. Naturally, they were inevitably socializing during the banquet. As a result, they were half drunk.

Looking at Haruko who was still sleeping next to him, Wu Guangyao gently lifted the quilt to get up.

"Brother, what time is it!" Haruko asked in a daze, stretched out two jade arms, and moved lazily.

"It's almost 7 o'clock!"

Wu Guangyao was amused for a while, thinking it was because he tossed too hard yesterday, which caused Haruko’s single tree to be difficult to support;

While Kusano Keika needs to take care of the children at home, she did not come yesterday.

Furthermore, Kusano Keika is 44 years old after all, Wu Guangyao obviously has a low desire to obtain from her, this is the shortcoming of old wives and young husbands;

Although Keika Kusano is still a seductive mature woman in the eyes of others, she is indeed less attractive to Wu Guangyao.

However, there is no problem in the relationship between everyone. The ratio of lovers is lower, and the ratio of relatives is naturally higher.

After breakfast at the hotel, Haruko went to work at Sony’s headquarters, while Wu Guangyao went to the Lenovo Building in Ginza 3-chome.

Currently, Lenovo Electric is already one of the top electric appliance companies in Dongying. Such a great achievement is achieved by Lenovo Electric's research and development of Trinitron technology;

With this technology, Lenovo has expanded vigorously in the past two years and grabbed the world’s TV market.
