Chapter 414【Trick or Treat】(Seeking monthly ticket!)

The Third Middle East War started on June 5, but ended on June 10, so it was also called the ‘Sixth Five-Year War’ or the ‘Six-Day War’.

Although the war ended, Israel occupied Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, refused to retreat, and faced Egypt across the river.

Egypt has no choice but to announce the indefinite closure of the Suez Canal, and the Suez Canal is filled with mines to prevent Israeli troops from attacking the Egyptian base camp.

For a time, shipowners all over the world have been sitting on the ground and raising prices in order to repay the suffering of being bullied by oil companies over the years.

There is a precedent for price increases in 1957. European and American freight rates soon rose by 100%, and this trend is still spreading;

No way, there is no ship!

A round of Africa, the distance is almost doubled;

The ship that goes to Europe and America is naturally equivalent to half less;

In addition, some shipowners deliberately set up prices on the ground, and the number of ships has been reduced again.

Regarding the management strategy of global shipping, Wu Guangyao immediately gave instructions: the price is only 6% cheaper than European and American shipowners.

Although everyone is puzzled, they still follow Wu Guangyao's instructions.

The reason for the puzzle is simple:

The freight price of global shipping is generally only 85% to 90% of that of European and American shipowners. In recent years, relying on this price advantage, they have robbed a large amount of business from European and American shipowners. It is also officially because of this that a large number of oil companies in Europe and the United States have given up their own countries. Fleet, charter the fleet of global shipping.

If you turn your face this time, wouldn’t the boss be afraid of these oil merchants after the fall?

Wu Guangyao is certainly not afraid. The Suez Canal has been closed for eight years. Do these oil merchants dare to settle their accounts?

the answer is negative!

Moreover, their own prices still have advantages, and management also has advantages. These people will gradually understand.

In mid-June, Sundashi and He Yuanzhang came to Japan together to visit Wu Guangyao who was ‘sick’.

This time, Wu Guangyao did not receive two people in the Lenovo Building, but received two people in a villa.

Sangdashi came to the villa and saw Wu Guangyao wearing loose clothes, he felt a little bit in his heart;

Don't make any accidents, this is the soul of Universal Group!

In the event of an accident, who should command the Global Group’s aircraft carrier!

Seeing that global shipping will make a lot of money, without this, HSBC may not even sleep well.

Because of this situation, the annual profit of Global Shipping may be as high as US$800 million to US$1 billion, or even US$1.2 billion;

So why is HSBC not in a hurry!

Sang Dashi greeted with concern: "Mr. Wu, how is your body?"

Wu Guangyao didn't deliberately pretend to be sick, so he said in a usual heart: "Fortunately, the doctor said that after three months of cultivation is almost the end!"

Sundus heard it, and he was relieved immediately, thinking in his heart, hello, hello, hello everyone!

After inviting the two to sit down, Wu Guangyao leaned on the sofa, and Chris came to Wu Guangyao's back, actively massaging Wu Guangyao's shoulders, and no longer looked as nervous as before.

Sundus naturally does not have any ideas, let alone an earl, at this time the Queen of England, came to give this massage, Sandus felt that he could accept it.

Everything is to blame for the dollar!

(PS: All global shipping services are settled in U.S. dollars; the exchange rate of U.S. dollar to Japanese yen and U.S. dollar to British pound is fixed, regardless of currency depreciation and appreciation.)

Wu Guangyao had a smile and lightness on his face. In Sundashi’s eyes, he looked at Wu Guangyao again.

Faced with illness, be calm and have a general demeanor!

Wu Guangyao said: "I invite you two here this time to let me know something important!"

Sandas said: "Mr. Wu, please speak!"

Wu Guangyao nodded, and then said: "How long do you think the Suez Canal will be closed this time?"

He Yuanzhang and Sundashi immediately fell into contemplation, thinking about this question.

For a long time, Sundars said: "There should be no problem in one year. After all, Israel occupies the Sinai Peninsula and will not easily retreat."

He Yuanzhang also nodded and agreed with Sundashi's point of view!

Wu Guangyao did not laugh at the two of them, and they could guess that a year was good.

Wu Guangyao said: "It is impossible to open in one year! This time Israel has occupied the Sinai Peninsula, and the next step is Cairo, the capital of Egypt. How can Egypt not be nervous? If I were the leader of Egypt, I would not be as strong as Israel. I will definitely plant mines on the entire Suez Canal to stop Israel, a powerful enemy, and Israel will never easily surrender the Sinai Peninsula to Egypt."

"It takes time for the two parties to negotiate, and it takes time to clear the mines."

"So I analyze, within three to five years, the Suez Canal should not be opened!"

Wu Guangyao's analysis surprised the two of them, and then they were surprised again soon.

Even if it is three years, global shipping can make a lot of money, which is hard to imagine.

For a long time, Sundars sighed: "It's incredible! At this time, we have the largest number of oil tankers in the world. Those who want to build ships, even if they build ships, it takes close to two years before they can be put into use, which is enough for us to make enough money. Dollars!"

Wu Guangyao immediately retorted: "Wrong! We can't give them the opportunity to build ships. We have to fill Dongying’s orders so that other shipowners can’t build ships in Dongying!"

Sang Dashi and He Yuanzhang were stunned. What's your idea?

Wu Guangyao continued: "I do the math, we currently have 17 million tons of ships, so we build another 3 million tons of oil tankers, which is just enough to make up 20 million tons. The 3 million tons of oil tankers are only 400 million US dollars (the larger the oil tanker, the more expensive it will be. Low), for us, half a year’s profit is not enough."

“As a result, Dongying’s shipyard must have few remaining orders, and soon announced that it will no longer accept orders, and our competitors are much less!”

"Moreover, with the 3 million tons of water, it only takes less than 2 years to pay back!"

Wu Guangyao's words, Sang Dashi and He Yuanzhang agreed within two minutes after listening!

"Good! The record of 20 million tons is indeed worth fighting for!" Sundars said happily.

"Yes, since we can make a steady profit without losing money and can reduce the opponent's strength, why don't we do this." He Yuanzhang said.

It goes without saying that the only people who can compete with global shipping are the shipowners of Dongying and Hong Kong Island.

And Dongying’s shipowners, in terms of competitiveness, are far behind Hong Kong’s shipowners.

Wu Guangyao said, “Well, I’m not in a good health lately. I'll leave this to you!”

He Yuanzhang hurriedly got up and said, “Don’t worry, boss, just rest assured that you can cultivate, we will never make any mistakes.”

After discussing the business affairs, Sundars couldn’t help asking Wu Guangyao: "Mr. Wu, what do you think of the recent events on Hong Kong Island?"

Wu Guangyao said helplessly: "I just listen to the reports from my colleagues every day, and I feel heartache, but I can't do anything. Anyway, my career and family are on Hong Kong Island, but I can't leave, or say I don't want to leave. Isn't you HSBC? ?"

Sundus smiled bitterly, and said firmly: "HSBC is naturally with Hong Kong."

After chatting for a few words, Sundarshi looked at Wu Guangyao's affairs on Hong Kong Island, and seemed helpless and didn't have any good ideas, so he stopped discussing.

After the two left, Wu Guangyao said to Chris behind him: "Am I like a patient?"

Chris walked from behind the sofa to the front, and then sat down in Wu Guangyao's arms like a couple.

"It's not like it, but the more natural you are, the less people will see it! Besides, Sundars will not expose you. Your importance to HSBC has been shown vividly from the moment he enters the door. Don't talk about the Hong Kong government, Even the British government, he can betray!"

Wu Guangyao was taken aback, is he so important to HSBC?
