Chapter 424 [Shipping Dividend! 】

On January 23, the 22 sites of Everbright Bank began to usher in the peak period of deposits;

Needless to say, the family members of Wu Guangyao’s staff came to save the year-end awards they just received;

Choosing Everbright Bank is naturally a kind of trust in Wu Guangyao.

Lei Hong, general manager of Everbright Bank, has already arranged all stores to make adequate preparations;

For banks in this period, deposits are one of the most important factors in the development of a bank;

Because the deposit interest is low, the loan interest is high, and the bank's fund supervision is not strict, it can be used for direct investment

Universal Building, group meeting room.

Sundus and Shen Bi, as representatives of HSBC, sat in the conference room.

Wu Guangyao, He Yuanzhang, and Gao Ke are the masters and represent the Universal Group.

After everyone said hello to each other, Wu Guangyao said to Chris: "Chris, send the dividend plan to everyone!"

Chris distributed the five materials to everyone one by one, and everyone thanked Chris politely.

HSBC and the two looked at the dividend plan and smiled!

Wu Guangyao said: “I have invested in shipping for 18 years. I have not received a cent in dividends, nor a cent in wages. I am just as excited as you are at HSBC.”

Sundus quickly said: "Mr. Wu has a long-term vision and a keen eye. He is a business prodigy I have never seen before. The cooperation between HSBC and you is a match made in heaven and complements each other."

Wu Guangyao nodded, Sang Dashi is right!

HSBC has achieved its own position as the world's shipping king, and Wu Guangyao has also brought huge profits to HSBC.

Wu Guangyao looked at Shen Bi and said, "Mr. Shen Bi, what do you think of Chinese capital?"

Shen Bi was appointed by HSBC as a director of Global Shipping in 1967. His current position at HSBC is the manager of the accounting department, and he has been promoted to deputy general manager in the past few years.

Shen Bi said sternly: "For us at HSBC, what we consider is the value of investment; since I took office in the accounting department, I have found that Chinese investment was more efficient than British investment in the entire 1960s. Therefore, we act Banks will naturally choose companies with good investment efficiency and will not continue the old-fashioned style before the 1950s."

Wu Guangyao nodded, he just asked casually;

At this time, for Wu Guangyao, HSBC is no longer an object of cooperation;

For example, when acquiring Wharf, Wu Guangyao does not actually have to rely on HSBC;

Because I have enough money to privatize the Wharf, and I also have a bank.

As Wu Guangyao got richer and richer, Wu Guangyao found that many acquisitions became easier.

Of course, if there is one more friend in this world, there should never be one more enemy.

Seeing that everyone has seen it almost, Wu Guangyao said: "If there is no objection, sign and seal it!"

Global Shipping had a profit of 720 million U.S. dollars last year, with 500 million U.S. dollars reserved for shipping payment, investment and other purposes, and actual dividends of 220 million U.S. dollars;

US$720 million in profit is not the greatest potential of global shipping, because last year's price increase was only half a year.

It is estimated that in 1968, the profit of global shipping may reach 1.1 billion US dollars.

This time the dividend situation is:

Wu Guangyao holds 77% of the shares and should be allocated US$169.4 million; HSBC holds 22% of the shares and should be allocated US$48.4 million; He Yuanzhang holds 1% of the shares (diluted) and should be allocated US$2.2 million.

Gao Ke has no shares, only envy!

However, He Yuanzhang’s shares were not given by Wu Guangyao. At the beginning of its establishment, He Yuanzhang took 200,000 Hong Kong dollars to invest in the shares.

Of course, executives like Gao Ke also held a certain amount of shares when the machine repair company went public last year. This is considered a reward.

After signing, Sundarshi couldn't help but sigh: "This time the pound depreciation, global shipping escaped a disaster. Thanks to Mr. Wu's caution."

Wu Guangyao leaned back on the chair and said, "You two, I have always been disfavored by the British pound and the Hong Kong dollar! For so many years, Global Shipping has had a rule: that is, all businesses are settled in U.S. dollars and must Fix the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar and Japanese yen, and fix the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar and British pound. Therefore, depreciation will not affect us!"

Wu Guangyao went on to say: “The funds of global shipping are generally stored in Japan, the United States, and the United Kingdom, and they are all stored in U.S. dollar accounts.”

HSBC knows this rule, but neither of them expected Wu Guangyao to be so straightforward and to regard the future of the pound and the Hong Kong dollar so low!

The two quickly understood the truth again. The world is already dominated by the United States and the Soviet Union. The United Kingdom is already at sunset, and now the economy has been poor.

Too late to think about how to spend the 170 million USD shipping dividend, because the Spring Festival is here!

This year's Spring Festival, Chris also came to No.79 Deep Water Bay to spend the Chinese New Year with everyone.

Speaking of it, the idea of ​​inviting Chris was still Lin Yueru's early action.

Although on Hong Kong Island at this time, the marriage system of the Qing Dynasty is still implemented, allowing monogamy and several concubines;

However, those families who marry a few women are definitely not as stable as Wu Guangyao's harem.

On this day, Wu Guangyao took Lin Yueru, Li Cui, and Chris to the Deep Water Bay Golf Course.

There are no guests in the stadium, but it is quite quiet.

The membership-based Deepwater Bay Golf Course is naturally not something that anyone can spend money to play.

Every holder of a membership card needs Wu Guangyao to nod his head. After all, Wu Guangyao does not like to have too many people on this golf course, which affects his own fun.

At present, a total of 50 membership cards have been issued, all of which are well-known people on Hong Kong Island.

After the four changed their outfits, they came to the tee.

"Play a game? Come some prizes?" Wu Guangyao asked the three women provocatively.

Lin Yueru fluffed her hair, and said dissatisfiedly: "Didn't we make it clear that we lost?"

Wu Guangyao threw the bait and said, “I only play six holes. What if you get three shots per hole?”

Sure enough, both Chris and Li Cui’s eyes lit up. After all, the three of them had practiced many times, and they were not complete novices.

Lin Yueru looked at Wu Guangyao’s expression and knew that her husband was counting three people, and poor Chris and Li Cui thought they were “profitable”.

But in line with the principle of making her husband happy, and herself happy, Lin Yueru would naturally not say anything.

The three women readily agreed, even if they didn’t let go, they would still agree, maybe because the passion is not enough;

It’s just that they are three shots per hole, they will have hope and more enthusiasm, and feel that they will win Wu Guangyao.

As for the prizes, it was a bit hard to tell, so the four people whispered to each other, and the three women were blushing, and they knew that it was not a serious competition.

On the first hole, Wu Guangyao gave the three women hope and deliberately went into the hole by par 12, which made everyone happy, and Lin Yueru might have seen the loopholes in it.

The second and third holes, Wu Guangyao has always given everyone hope;

Until the 4th, 5th, and 6th holes, Wu Guangyao began to exert his strength, and each hole was able to lead everyone by six strokes;

Everyone knows that Wu Guangyao has been tricked!

"Tricky!" Chris originally thought he would win the first place, but watching Wu Guangyao catch up with a big score, it was not very pleasant in his heart.

"You should learn a Chinese idiom called'no profiteering, no business'. If I don't give you hope, you will not be interested in paying me to play golf, so this is a strategy." Wu Guangyao said with a smile.

Lin Yueru said unceremoniously: "Your goal at the beginning was not interest, but your personal desire."

After listening to Chris and Li Cui, they suddenly realized!

was played!

Have to be played later!
