Age of Dreams

After the complete outbreak of the Greek debt crisis, the whole of Greece fell into panic.

But if you say that the Greek government is stupid and has not thought of a way to save itself, that is also not in line with the facts.

The day after the financial crisis was revealed by the News of the World, that is, on September 1, Greece officially issued an emergency decree targeting the long coastline of Greece. From now on, all port facilities will be used. Fees are halved, and if long-term contracts are signed, there will be substantial discounts.

At the same time, the various taxation conditions of Greek ports have also been greatly reduced. Although the tariff is not zero, it has suddenly dropped to the point where it is close to not collecting money.

When the three major rating agencies fell into trouble, Greece found that its strategy did not work so quickly, so it had a new trick.

In the early morning of September 6, on the second day after the fourth largest bank in Greece restricted withdrawals, the Greek government once again announced that the 8.5 million-ton tonnage trading vessels owned by the Greek government-owned state-owned enterprises would all be auctioned. , While still operating, they will use zero profits to attract major traders.

Immediately afterwards, the Greek government reported its price list, which directly caused all the people in the shipping industry to take a breath.

Greece is going to pull everyone to death together!

Such a low price is definitely not a profitable rhythm. It is good to not lose money!

If you think about it carefully, the Greek government has supported as many as tens of thousands of employees through fleet transportation, as well as by unloading at Greek ports, and so on, feeding so many people in the port.

If the Greek government's fleet is not making money, the port handling costs are cheap, and taxes are almost zero, then everyone is sure to hand over the goods to them for transportation, where they are loaded and unloaded...Who wouldn't want to save money?

In this way, at least the Greek fleet will have work, and the port personnel are busy going back and forth. As well as the related facilities and service personnel, all have jobs, so the family's life will be completely fine!

The shipping industry is a pillar industry in Greece, accounting for 15% of Greece's gross national product. It employs more than 200,000 employees, accounting for 3.8% of the total population of Greece.

If it can solve the lives of hundreds of thousands of workers and millions of people, then what does it matter if the Greek government does not make money?

The Greek government can also drive more industries based on these businesses, so as to get rid of more financial burdens!

From this point of view. There are benefits of not making money if you don't make money!

Having figured this out, the same Mediterranean and Atlantic port countries, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Ireland, have also announced the same policies as Greece.

Port fees are halved, long-term contracts are cheaper, and fleet operating costs are greatly reduced...

After learning such a complete set of methods, Greece did not taste the benefits, and was immediately forced to enjoy the benefits of these policies with these four countries.

They are still good, they can find a way out of desperation, but all the shipping companies in the world are dumbfounded.

How can people do business?

Can we cooperate happily for a win-win situation?

What should we do if you play like this?

The shipping industry under the national government. Instead of making money, you can rely on starting work to feed the workers and people in related industries, but shipping companies can’t!

Shipping companies must pay attention to profits, and they must pay dividends to shareholders. There is no actual profit. What do they do with so many crews and staff? They are not state institutions, and they have no obligation to feed these people!

You said that you want to put pressure on these countries, which is even more impossible!

Greece didn't even listen to the words of the European Union before. What are you doing when you listen to the giants of the industry? Can you find a better way to feed their people? If you can't, just stop chirping here!

There are also countries like Italy. It is estimated that the situation is not much better than that of Greece. Before this problem came out, they had already learned the Greek policy, which shows how worried they are.

Such a country. Do you still want to persuade them?

Do not make jokes!

Therefore, the global shipping companies fell into panic.

Among them are the Philippine shipping giant Zhengli Shipbuilding, which has just bought 1 million tons of cargo ships, and the Indonesian shipping giant Dagama, which also bought 1 million tons of cargo ships.

The two companies have one thing in common, that is, they both bought so many tonnage ships at low prices.

These ships are about 70% new and well maintained, but the price is only two-thirds of the market price. It's a big sale at all.

Both Zhengli Shipping and Dajima have strong backgrounds and are ready to ambitiously do a good job in shipping, especially on European and American routes.

They were so happy to be able to buy so many good quality cargo ships at such a cheap price, and they secretly laughed at Gu Cang'en for being so confused. They would not want to sell them so cheaply if they wanted to change their careers!

That's right.

They are the cargo ships bought from Asia’s king of shipping, Gu Cang En, a wealthy Malaysian. The tonnage of 2 million cargo ships accounted for half of the Gu family’s fleet.

It can be said that after losing such a half of the tonnage, the Gu family can only be regarded as the Malaysian ship king at best, and it is not ranked in the top ten in Asia!

Not only the two major companies are laughing at the Gu family, but even the rich in Malaysia are also muttering that Gu Cang En is really playing a trick.

Although the sale of cargo ships earned more than 5 billion US dollars in cash, although the current shipping industry is not very prosperous, it is difficult to do any business. In an industry that I am familiar with, even if it is a meager profit, I can continue to operate. I am waiting for it. If things get better, won't they be able to make money again?

Automatically reduce the tonnage of the fleet by half. Isn't this an indirect reduction of one's own advantage?

You don't have enough cargo ships, how can you compete with others?

You must know that most cargo ships can rotate fast, maintain speed, and reduce operating costs!

But what everyone did not expect was that the two companies had encountered such a thunderbolt within a month of the purchase!

The five European and Mediterranean countries actually resorted to such a despicable trick, which is exactly the rhythm of bankruptcy of shipping companies!

The direction of public opinion suddenly shifted.

"Sure enough it is Mr. Gu!"

"Let me just say, Gu Lao has been smart for a lifetime, how could he make this kind of mistake?"

"Ginger is still hot, now those two companies know how good it is?"

"Yes, I thought I picked up a big bargain, but ended up picking up a huge trouble to come back."

"Now that the shipping in Asia should be directly crushed by Europe, isn't it? Mr. Gu's strategy of drawing salaries from the bottom, not to mention reducing the burden, and having a cash flow of more than 5 billion US dollars is definitely the best way to deal with the crisis. That's the situation!"

"So, the wisdom of the elderly is really far-reaching!"

"..."

Such remarks are circulated in business circles in Southeast Asia.

Zhengli Shipbuilding Industry and Dajima Company almost passed out with anger, but their money has been paid to the Gu family, and there is nothing wrong with the business itself, so they have nothing to do if they want to troubleshoot.

In addition, the Gu family, who has been widely praised by everyone, is naturally extremely proud. After sweeping away all the worries and doubts of the past, it exhales in a high-profile manner.

Two people who really knew the inside story, Gu Cang En and Gu Pinghao looked at each other, and Gu Pinghao sighed and couldn't speak.

The two of them didn't want to believe what Xiao Qi said, and didn't want to sell the cargo ship in their hands.

But when he transferred to Hong Kong and returned to Malaysia, Gu Cangen and Li Chaoren met. Although Li Chaoren didn't know what Gu Cangen and Xiao Qi were talking about, he knew that his old friend was hesitating when he saw Gu Cangen's doubts.

"Xiao Qi is a magical young man. If he gives you advice, you'd better listen to it if it doesn't involve the roots of the family!" Li Chaoren said to an old friend like this.

With Li Chaoren's reminder, after Gu Cangen returned home, he convened his own think tank and asked them to discuss with each other, but they did not come to the conclusion that shipping would shrink significantly.

In fact, shipping nowadays is no longer as good as that in the 1980s and 1990s. Can it be worse than it is now? Don’t you want to ship it?

However, Gu Cang'en felt a little uneasy the more he thought about it, and finally decided to believe Xiao Qi once and sell half of his cargo ship tonnage.

In Gu Pinghao's view, the old man was a bit too risky, but he couldn't stop him.

After all, he couldn't find the reason why Xiao Qi wanted to harm the Gu family, so naturally he couldn't say that Xiao Qi was talking nonsense.

Now that he decided to sell the cargo ship, Gu Cangen did not hesitate. After just two months of negotiations, he finally sold the 2 million-ton cargo ship in his hand at a price much lower than the market price.

Then Gu Cangen was ridiculed by many people overtly and secretly.

Even Gu Pinghao felt that Xiao Qi was really too childish, and wanted to ask his father to ask him, but Gu Cangen didn't move.

The next ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ was the outbreak of the Greek debt crisis. It was Greece that announced this vicious plan, and Italy and other four countries followed suit...

Not only Gu Pinghao was dumbfounded, but Gu Cangen also couldn't expect such a change in the situation!

If you don’t listen to Xiao Qi, such a shipping company with more than 10 billion US dollars really doesn’t know what to do!

It is absolutely impossible to throw it away, but it is a hot potato to keep it in your hand, and it is definitely a dilemma.

But now it's fine. After hearing Xiao Qi's words, the Gu family sold half of the tonnage ahead of time, and the burden was greatly reduced. Even if it was a short-distance, small-profit Asian transportation route, it would not be exhausted.

What's more, there are still more than 5 billion US dollars in cash flow. What problems can't be dealt with?

And to have such a good life today, isn't it just relying on Xiao Qi's wonderful guidance?

The genius boy is indeed well-deserved!
