I want to be a giant of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 259 [Let's take a look! ] (Ask for a monthly pass!)

The real estate industry on Hong Kong Island has become hot since 1953 when Nanyang funds poured in;
Next, Huo Yingdong's speculation of uncompleted properties continued to burn up the real estate industry, and it was out of control.

By April 1956, the residential price in the Yau Tsim Mong area of ​​Kowloon had reached as high as 4 Hong Kong dollars per square foot;

According to this trend, Wu Guangyao predicted that by the end of 1957, the price of residential buildings in Kowloon would reach HK$40 to HK$42 per square foot.

这个价格是个什么概念，以数据来对比（1969年初港岛高档住宅单价为70到80港币每平方尺，1970年底，港岛高档住宅单价为180到200港币每平方。）
That is to say, the housing price on Hong Kong Island at the end of 1957 will reach a little more than half of that 12 years later.

This price increase made Wu Guangyao terrified, so he decided to develop early and sell the house first.

In April, Cheung Kong developed the land in Mong Kok, which is still a residential area with a planned 1900 residential units.

In May, Cheung Kong developed the deep-water land and will build a 1800-unit residential complex.

For a time, Cheung Kong Industrial Co., Ltd. had unlimited scenery!
Four housing projects should have 7500 residential units, which can accommodate 5 people!

No real estate company dares to develop such a large project. Even a British-funded real estate company chooses to develop a project with hundreds of residential units, and then waits for the funds to be withdrawn before developing the next project.

The same is true for Huazi, which is even more shabby, and generally only develops residential projects with two or three high-rise buildings and one or two hundred units.

Although the projects developed by everyone are small, there are too many people who can't stand the real estate business, so the supply will exceed the demand sooner or later!

Just like stock trading, everyone knows that the stock has the risk of plummeting; but when the stock rises, it is enough to make everyone forget the risk!
But Wu Guangyao is different, as a time traveler, he clearly knows the time of the plunge!

Even so, Wu Guangyao also prepared for the worst, the plunge will be ahead of schedule!

Therefore, Wu Guangyao decided to develop all the land in 1956 and return as much capital as possible in the first half of 1957.

It doesn't matter if it can't be sold out, as long as it survives 1958, it will rise slowly!

However, 60% of the funds must be withdrawn for bank loan repayment, commercial construction costs, and bottom-hunting funds!
1956 was the year when Wu Guangyao had many sons and daughters!
In May, Jiusano Huixiang made another contribution and gave birth to a daughter named Wu Rui for Wu Guangyao;

And Keira in London is already 8 months pregnant, which means that Wu Guangyao will have three children this year;
Since then, Wu Guangyao has a total of 8 children.

The four women Lin Yueru, Li Cui, Kaila, and Jiusano Huixiang each gave birth to two children for Wu Guangyao, which can be described as outstanding military exploits!

Wu Guangyao was working in Dongying while accompanying Hisasano Eka after giving birth.

The Dongying Branch of Global Shipping is located on the 12th floor of a building with hundreds of employees.

In Wu Guangyao's exclusive office, Gao Ke, the head of the Dongying Branch of Global Shipping, is reporting!

"Showa Energy, Changtong Cargo, Mitsui Shipbuilding, and Osaka Merchant Line have been dissatisfied recently because we started only chartering short-term contracts. They have begun to reduce the number of our short-term contracts and will deliberately find other shipowners on Hong Kong Island to replace them. Our shipping mission. Fortunately, our global shipping is well received in the industry, so even if these four companies reduce our business, our global shipping will not be affected much!"

Wu Guangyao was not surprised. It is normal for these big customers to be dissatisfied with his speculative behavior!
However, this doesn't change the way you do business.

"In these years, 70% of our business in Dongying has been undertaken by these four companies, so it is easy to be choked by them! Next, you try to spread the business as much as possible. For example, if a new customer has to turn him into an old customer, Long-term customer."

"Yes, Mr. Wu, please rest assured that our global shipping advantages are among the best in the world, and it is not difficult to start business!"

Wu Guangyao nodded, Gao Ke's words were on point!

Compared with shipowners in Europe, America and Japan, global shipping has a price advantage, and this advantage is huge!

Compared with shipowners on Hong Kong Island, Global Shipping is more professional. The quality of seafarers and the professionalism of the company are unmatched by other shipowners on Hong Kong Island. systematically trained.

This is Wu Guangyao's reliance, not afraid that these companies will not choose him.

However, it is obvious that Wu Guangyao will fight for anything that can be fought for. After all, customers are the first priority, and they should not be easily offended!

"Help me make an appointment with Dongying's long-term customers, and I invite everyone to get together!"

"Yes!"

Wu Guangyao still intends to fight for it and get in touch with each other!
Global Shipping has a total of nine long-term customers in Dongying, large and small; among them, Showa Energy, Changtong Freight, Mitsui Shipbuilding, and Osaka Merchant Line accounted for [-]% of the business, and the remaining five companies accounted for [-]% of the business.

Over the years, Global Shipping has seldom cooperated with customers who only need to lease several ships for a short period of time;
And these nine customers have been cooperating with each other for the first time, and they have not stopped cooperating. It can be said that the cooperation is very pleasant.

This time Wu Guangyao refused the long-term lease, obviously these people would be a little dissatisfied, so let me put out the fire for everyone!

Wu Guangyao did as the Romans did, entertained everyone in a high-end geisha hall, and ordered a high-end geisha for each person.

Everyone didn't get into the topic at the beginning, but chatted about some business and current affairs before getting into the topic.

"Mr. Wu, you can always predict the shipping situation, which makes us customers suffer!" Nozawa complained dissatisfiedly to Wu Guangyao while enjoying the service of a geisha.

"Really? Over the years, have you really suffered a loss?"

"Then let me explain to you: Before 1951, I leased you a long-term contract. At that time, no other shipowner except me did this. This time, you made money!"

"From 1951 to 1953, global shipping happened to catch up with the opportunity. At that time, although we leased to you for short-term, we gave you a 9% discount, and a small number of ships were also leased for long-term. I would like to ask During the period, is there anyone who rents it to you for a long time? Is there anyone who rents it lower than me in the short term? This time, you still make money!"

"In 1953, I did predict that the Korean War was coming to an end. After all, where was the situation? I leased you a long-term contract for three years, but my long-term contract price was also discounted by [-]%. It is overused by you, and the maintenance cost is very high. Have you calculated carefully? In the past three years, our global shipping and those who lease short-term ship owners earn about the same per trip on average! However, our business has not been interrupted. However, the short-term leasing business of shipowners may have been cut off. So let me ask, what have you lost?"

Wu Guangyao asked everyone a series of rhetorical questions with righteous words, clearing up the speculation of global shipping.

After hearing Wu Guangyao's words, everyone didn't immediately refute, but thought, over the years, Global Shipping has indeed not cheated everyone. The three-year lease contract of Global Shipping is only seeking a "business stability".

In fact, there is a little knowledge here, that is, after they leased ships for global shipping, if their business decreases, they must cancel the ships with short-term contracts.

Therefore, it can be said that this is a win-win situation, and the loss is the interests of other shipowners.

"But why don't you continue to rent a long-term contract?" Nozawa asked the biggest question in his heart.

"First, the vast majority of shipowners are now leasing short-term contracts, and no one is willing to sign long-term contracts with you, so global shipping can choose independently; second, the shipping price this year is the lowest in the past five years (5 US dollars a Ton), the long-term contract has no benefit at all, how do you ask us to lease it to you; third, even if you think I am speculating, then I would like to ask you, when there is a shipping market, are you the first to think of us? Shipping, because we can give you a discount, and we can give you the best service."

It can be said that Wu Guangyao put the interests in front of everyone. Although they have found other ship owners, Wu Guangyao believes that the price is definitely not much different from Global Shipping, but Global Shipping must be more professional!
Sato from Changtong Cargo smoothed things over: "Haha, actually, we are the happiest cooperating with Mr. Wu. Recently, everyone has indeed had a little misunderstanding. It's fine if it makes sense. We will still be friends in the future, and we will continue to work together!"

Nozawa also knows that he must not offend Global Shipping. First of all, Dong Yunhao should be the most powerful shipowner on Hong Kong Island, but he only has a deadweight of 20 tons, and more than half of them do not take the routes of Dongying; Most of the shipowners have a deadweight of tens of thousands of tons, which is definitely not enough for a large energy company; the important thing is that the price and service are not comparable to global shipping.

As for European and American shipowners and Dongying shipowners, they are even worse than global shipping in all aspects!
"Anyway, no matter what the market is, I will give everyone a [-]% discount on the market price, and guarantee service, efficiency, and professionalism. Mr. Nozawa, do you think so?" Wu Guangyao also looked at It came out, this time it might be Nozawa who is taking the lead.

"Mr. Wu, please forgive me, it was indeed my mistake! But if Mr. Wu invited this meal earlier, maybe everyone would have no misunderstanding, haha!" Nozawa finally let go.

Wu Guangyao also took advantage of the situation and apologized to everyone, the explanation came too late!
In fact, even if Wu Guangyao did not explain, these people would not choose not to cooperate!
After all, where is the advantage, and the global shipping in Dongying is definitely very popular, there is no shortage of customers!

It turns out that price and service are advantages on the one hand; on the other hand, Wu Guangyao is the big shipowner who took the lead in building ships in Dongying. Dongying's shipbuilding industry, government, and society are definitely very fond of global shipping!

　Recommended at noon today, happy!
