I want to be a giant of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 414 [Trickster] (Ask for a monthly pass!)

The third Middle East war started on June 6, but ended on June 5, so it is also called the "Six-Five War" or "Six-Day War".

Although the war was over, Israel occupied Egypt's Sinai Peninsula and refused to retreat, facing Egypt across the river.

Egypt has no choice but to announce that the Suez Canal will be closed indefinitely, and the Suez Canal will be filled with mines to prevent the Israeli army from attacking the Egyptian base camp.

For a time, shipowners all over the world raised their prices one after another to repay the suffering of being 'bullied' by oil companies over the years.

With the precedent of the price increase in 1957, the freight rate in Europe and the United States quickly increased by 100%, and this trend is still spreading;

No way, lack of boats!
If you go around Africa, the distance is almost doubled;
The ships going to Europe and the United States are naturally equivalent to half of them;
Coupled with the fact that some shipowners deliberately raised prices on the ground, the number of ships decreased a lot.

Regarding the business strategy of global shipping, Wu Guangyao immediately gave instructions: the price only needs to be 6% cheaper than that of European and American shipowners.

Although everyone was puzzled, they still followed Wu Guangyao's instructions.

The reason for the confusion is simple:
The freight price of global shipping is generally only 85% to 90% of that of European and American shipowners; these years, relying on this price advantage, they have grabbed a lot of business from European and American shipowners; Fleet, charter the fleet of global shipping.

If they turn their faces this time, isn't the boss afraid that these oil companies will settle their accounts after the fall?
Of course Wu Guangyao is not afraid. The Suez Canal has been closed for eight years. Do these oil companies dare to settle accounts with themselves?

the answer is negative!

Moreover, their own price still has advantages, and management also has advantages, and these people will gradually understand.

In mid-June, Sandas and He Yuanzhang came to Japan together to visit Wu Guangyao who was 'ill'.

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

When Sandas came to the villa, he saw Wu Guangyao wearing loose clothing, and his heart skipped a beat;
Don't let anything happen, this is the soul of Universal Group!

Once something goes wrong, who should command the aircraft carrier of the Universal Group!
Seeing that global shipping is about to make a lot of money, without this person, HSBC may not even be able to sleep well.

Because according to this situation, the annual profit of global shipping may be as high as 8 million US dollars to 10 billion US dollars, or even 12 billion US dollars;
So why is HSBC not in a hurry!

Sandas greeted with concern: "Mr. Wu, how are you doing?"

Wu Guangyao didn't deliberately pretend to be sick, so he said calmly, "Fortunately, the doctor said that three months of training will be enough!"

When Sandas heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and thought, hello, hello, hello everyone!

After inviting the two to sit down, Wu Guangyao leaned against the sofa, and Chris came to Wu Guangyao's back and actively massaged Wu Guangyao's shoulders, and he no longer looked tense as before.

Naturally, Sandas would not have any ideas, let alone an earl, at this time the Queen of England came to give this massage, and Sandas felt that he could accept it.

Everything is the fault of the dollar!

(PS: The business of global shipping is settled in US dollars; and the exchange rates of US dollar to Japanese yen and US dollar to British pound are fixed, regardless of currency depreciation and appreciation.)
Wu Guangyao had a smile and a relaxed expression on his face. In the eyes of Sanders, he looked up to Wu Guangyao again.

Facing the illness, be calm and have the demeanor of a general!
Wu Guangyao said: "The two of you are invited this time to inform you of something important!"

Sandas said: "Mr. Wu, please tell me!"

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

He Yuanzhang and Sandas immediately fell into deep thought, thinking about this issue.

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

He Yuanzhang also nodded in agreement with Sandas' point of view!
Wu Guangyao didn't laugh at the two of them, it's not bad for the two of them to guess one year.

Wu Guangyao said: "It is absolutely impossible to open it in one year! This time Israel has occupied the Sinai Peninsula, and Cairo, the capital of Egypt, is one step ahead. How can Egypt not be nervous? If I were the leader of Egypt, and my strength is not as good as that of Israel, I will definitely mine the entire Suez Canal to stop Israel, a powerful enemy, and Israel will never hand over the Sinai Peninsula to Egypt easily."

"Negotiations between the two sides will take time, and mine clearance will take time."

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

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

Even in three years, global shipping can make a lot of money, which is unimaginable.

After a long time, Sundas sighed: "It's incredible! At this time, we are the only oil tanker in the world that sails the most around the world. Those shipowners who want to build a ship, even if they build a ship, it will take nearly two years to put it into use, which is enough for us to earn enough. Dollars!"

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

Sandas and He Yuanzhang were stunned, what was the idea?
Wu Guangyao continued: "I did some calculations. We currently have 1700 million tons of ships. Then we can build another 300 million tons of oil tankers, which is just enough to make up 2000 million tons. The 300 million tons of oil tankers are only 4 million U.S. dollars (the bigger the oil tanker, the more expensive it is) low), for us, half a year’s profit will be lost.”

"In this way, Dongying's shipyard must not have many orders left, and soon announced that it will no longer accept orders, and our competitors are much less!"

"Moreover, it only takes less than 300 years for the 2 million tons of water to be recovered!"

After hearing Wu Guangyao's words, Sandas and He Yuanzhang agreed within 2 minutes!

"Good! The record of 2000 million tons is really worth fighting for!" Sanders said happily.

"Yes, since we can make a steady profit and reduce the strength of our opponents, why don't we do this." He Yuanzhang said.

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

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

Wu Guangyao said: "Well, I'm not feeling well recently, so I'll leave this to you!"

He Yuanzhang got up quickly and said: "Don't worry, boss, you just need to rest assured and cultivate, we will never make any mistakes."

After talking about the business, Sanders 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 of my colleagues every day. I feel heartbroken, but I can't do anything. Anyway, my career and family are in Hong Kong Island, but I can't leave, or I don't want to leave. Don't you HSBC ?"

Sanders smiled wryly, and said firmly: "HSBC is naturally with Hong Kong."

After chatting for a while, Sundas saw that Wu Guangyao seemed helpless with regard to Hong Kong Island, and he didn't have any good ideas, so he stopped to continue the discussion.

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

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

"No, but the more natural you are, the less people can see anything! Besides, Sanders will not expose you. Your importance to HSBC has been fully demonstrated since he entered the door. Don't talk about the Hong Kong government. Even the British government, he can betray it!"

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