I want to be a giant of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 266 [4 Million Dollar Plan! ] (Ask for a monthly pass!)

Just after New Year's Day in 1957, Wu Guangyao held a general meeting of shareholders in the Universal Building, and this time even the executives from HSBC were invited.

Wu Guangyao, He Yuanzhang, Sandas, and Guy (HSBC Taipan) are preparing for a meeting in the conference room.

The two representatives of HSBC were a little excited. They probably felt that the new year had begun, and Wu Guangyao was going to share the money he earned last year with everyone!

From the end of July last year to the present, Global Shipping has made a net profit of 1.8 million US dollars in five months, and this market is still going on.

Even if all the loans are repaid, there will still be more than 9000 million US dollars in cash flow; of course, Wu Guangyao will not repay the loan in advance.

Wu Guangyao distributed the four stacks of documents among the three, and kept a copy for himself.

The front page of these materials clearly says '[-] million US dollars plan! ', which made the other three feel terrified when they saw it.

After a while, Guy raised his head in disbelief first, and said, "Mr. Wu, do you know what [-] million dollars is?"

Wu Guangyao said with a smile: "Of course I know, I have earned 1.8 million for everyone in the last five months; then I asked Mr. Guy, is [-] million really a lot?"

Guy froze, thinking to himself, yeah!
If this market continues for another four months, won't there be [-] million US dollars?

The reason why Guy reacted so strongly was that HSBC's global net profit in the past year was only 4000 million US dollars.

This is a tenfold gap, and the global shipping has not been used for a year!
Fortunately, this kind of market is rare in decades, otherwise HSBC would want to start its own shipping company!
Of course, the Great Depression in shipping has to be considered, which is a market that will directly close down a large number of shipping companies.

"Mr. Wu, do you think this market will continue for another four months?" Sanders asked.

Wu Guangyao took a sip of tea before saying, "I don't know the same sentence; even if it lasts for another two months, our global shipping will have a cash flow of 2 million US dollars. Is your HSBC bank still unwilling to loan? "

"However, Mr. Wu, as you said before, after this incident, shipping will fall into a slump, so why are you still expanding so wildly? We can expand stably and reduce unnecessary risks." Sanders said, This $[-] million plan is too exaggerated. If Global Shipping is not the absolute holding of this person, then the two representatives of HSBC will definitely jump up and refute at this time.

"It's just a short-term low tide. When we build a ship, it will return to normal levels long ago. Think about it, whether the industrial level in Europe and the United States has unlimited potential; for example, the number of car ownership, do you think that in the next few decades? It will increase crazily, and European and American families will become popular. In short, I predict that in the 60s, the industry in Europe and the United States will enter a real boom. Then with the performance of our global shipping in this incident, I am afraid that in the European and American shipping circles, global shipping will be A real shipping star," Wu Guangyao explained.

This is the disadvantage of recruiting HSBC as a shareholder. Of course, compared with the disadvantages, the advantages are more. In the future, HSBC may sell even British foreign firms for its own benefit.

"Since you think Japan's shipbuilding industry has matured, and the price is 80% of that of European and American shipyards, why do you want to build ships worth [-] million dollars in Europe and America this time?" Gay asked again.

In Wu Guangyao's plan, there are many aspects of the design, and it is normal that there are many problems.

"Since we want to start business in these countries, how can we not make good friends with the politicians in these countries, then this ship order is a kind of attracting ideas. The shipbuilding industry is a heavy industry and requires a lot of labor. As long as we build several [-]-ton ships in one country, we will I can get good reviews. This is the so-called certificate of honor. Only in this way can our global shipping in these countries be smoother. Moreover, there are so many ships that Japan cannot build at all. What do you think!"

Wu Guangyao remembered that when Dong Yunhao launched a 1.5-ton ship built in France, and a deputy minister-level official came, Dong Yunhao was not very satisfied, thinking that France did not take him seriously.

So on the contrary, shipbuilding is really popular with countries!
Wu Guangyao has already built many ships in Japan, and the prime minister has been there twice, and even a cabinet minister-level official has one every time.

These people tried their best to please Wu Guangyao. Of course, there is another reason for this, that is, Wu Guangyao was the first ship owner to build a large ship in Dongying.

The officials of Dongying naturally hope to use this as an advertisement to promote themselves to ships all over the world!
The "[-] million US dollars plan" has only just been established. The preliminary work is to send teams to the five countries of Japan, Britain, France, Germany, and the United States to make contact with the leaders of these countries first, because Wu Guangyao wants to become the leader of these five countries. The country's guest of honor.

If that country is unwilling to receive Wu Guangyao, then sorry, PASS!
Of course, this is basically impossible!

Even if Wu Guangyao does not build ships, the leaders of these countries will be very interested in relying on the shipping strength shown this time.

Shipping is the overlord of transportation in this era, with extremely high social influence!
Otherwise, the London royal family would not rush to award Wu Guangyao the title, after all, he is only in his 20s.

Half a month later, Wu Guangyao received invitations from the five countries, and they all expressed their willingness to welcome them.

Wu Guangyao's trip this time took more than two months, and it was also the first time he met the leaders of so many countries.

The [-] million US dollar contract was also signed and completed.

Among them, in the United States, England, France, and Germany, these four countries signed a total of 2 million US dollars in contracts.

In the United States, an order of 7500 million US dollars was signed, a total of 9 oil tankers of 5 tons, with a total load of 45 tons;

An order of 7300 million US dollars was signed in England, a total of 9 oil tankers of 5 tons, with a total load of 45 tons;

The order signed in France is 2800 million US dollars, a total of 6 3-ton freighters, with a total load of 18 tons;

The order signed in Germany is 2400 million US dollars, a total of 5 3-ton freighters with a total load capacity of 15 tons.

The total load capacity of freighters/oil tankers in the four European and American countries is 123 million tons.

In Japan, an order of 2 million US dollars was signed, a total of 25 5-ton oil tankers and 10 3-ton freighters, with a total load capacity of 155 million tons.

In other words, 278 million US dollars bought a ship with a load capacity of [-] million tons!

This time, Wu Guangyao did not keep a low profile, but brought all the reporters from Dongfang News with him.

Therefore, in the past two months, Global Shipping and Wu Guangyao have caused a wave of heat in the world!
Countries around the world are reporting, after all, this is a $[-] million business.

Some countries have even called Wu Guangyao the "World Ship King". Of course, this is just a news exaggeration; not to mention that these ships have not been delivered, even if they are delivered, they can only rank among the top three in the world.

The important thing is that Wu Guangyao will gradually eliminate second-hand ships in the future. It seems that in 1960, he can only maintain a deadweight of 450 million to 500 million tons.

It was already early April when Wu Guangyao returned to Hong Kong Island, and it was less than a month before the reopening of the Suez Canal.

At this time, Global Shipping has guaranteed a profit of 9 million US dollars for 3.8 months.

Back on Hong Kong Island, Wu Guangyao knew his identity and status, and was once again superior. Everyone looked at him with admiration and envy.

Being able to meet with the leaders of several major countries in the world is obviously already a top businessman, although this businessman is there to send money.
