Chapter 209 [Wu Guangyao who is in trouble! 】
At the media conference, Wu Guangyao was full of vigor and wit, and was highly praised by the media on the scene.
But it is conceivable that when European and American reporters return to their home countries, when they make news, Wu Guangyao will definitely become an arrogant Chinese kid!
This is the double standard that European and American media have always liked!
And Europeans and Americans who have always prided themselves on being superior, absolutely do not want a Chinese ‘ship king’ to rise!
Dongying media will certainly praise themselves, because the ships of global shipping are basically leased to their countries, and the prices are much cheaper, which obviously contributes to their economic development.
Dongying media always like to call Wu Guangyao ‘a good friend of Dongying people’.
Not to mention the media on Hong Kong Island, that is Wu Guangyao’s base camp, and there will never be any bad voices.
After the media meeting ended, the Mark Shipyard also arranged a banquet on the cruise ship.
"Unexpectedly, the media meeting I organized so hard to organize was actually dominated by Mr. Wu!" Fisher walked up to Wu Guangyao and joked innocently.
"The promotion of global shipping is at the Global Mark Shipyard. I believe that more shipowners will find Mark to build new ships!"
"Let's borrow your good words! Let's go and meet some friends together!"
Fisher is obviously more energetic than Wu Guangyao in Dongying. What he introduced to Wu Guangyao were all high-level officials of the Dongying government. There were three cabinet ministers, including the minister of economy, industry, and industry that Wu Guangyao met last time!
Wu Guangyao’s strength has gone further. The three cabinet ministers representing the government of Dongying are naturally very enthusiastic. After all, shipping is indispensable for economic development in this era.
Without ships, neither overseas resources nor domestic products can circulate, which hinders economic development.
Of course, Wu Guangyao’s business is also inseparable from Dongying for the time being. Both parties are mutually beneficial!
The plane slowly stopped at Kai Tak Airport, Wu Guangyao stepped off the cabin and set foot on the land of Hong Kong Island.
could not help but complain to He Yuanzhang next to him: "If time permits, I would never take a plane, I would rather be a ship."
He Yuanzhang looked very embarrassed, because the plane was swaying sharply because of the airflow just now, and he couldn't help but vomit!
"Airplanes are indeed not as reliable as ships!" He Yuanzhang said sullenly.
Wu Guangyao didn't say it or not. The reason for complaining just now was because the plane was shaking violently in the air flow on the way, and Wu Guangyao's heartbeat reached his throat.
Because the current propeller (reciprocating) aircraft can only travel at low altitude, it is seriously affected by the airflow;
Moreover, the speed of the propeller airplane is very slow. The propeller airplane relies on the force generated by the rotation of the propeller to make the airplane fly forward.
But when the speed of the propeller and the flight speed of the aircraft reach a certain level, it is no longer possible to increase the speed of the propeller to make the aircraft faster.
So jet aircraft is the general trend, but it takes the mid to late 1950s to mature the technology, and the 1960s is already the only option for medium and long distances.
Of course, if it were a ‘Comet’ jet aircraft produced by England, Wu Guangyao would never take it. It’s an aircraft to hell.
The really reliable plane of this era is Boeing’s aircraft!
Wu Guangyao raised his left hand, and the diamond-encrusted gold watch made by Lao Fengxiang revealed the side of the tyrant, with diamonds and gold shining dazzlingly.
The time is 2:30 in the afternoon. Obviously, I am going to work at the company.
"Go, let's go back to the Global Building together!"
Back to the Universal Building, Wu Guangyao first called London and asked the staff there to start looking for shipping companies interested in selling second-hand ships.
Building new ships by Global Shipping does not mean giving up buying second-hand ships. After all, the past few years have been the best time for the Far East shipping industry!
But HSBC will not lend to Global Shipping in recent years, so it can only rely on Global Shipping’s own profits to buy!
Wu Guangyao estimated that from 1952 to 1953, in addition to the repayment of the profits in these two years, it is estimated that one hundred thousand tons of second-hand goods/tankers could be bought.
The war ended in 1953, but shipping will not be sluggish, it can only be said that freight rates will fall.
Therefore, from 1954 to 1955, the profits of global shipping in the past two years may not only add six or seven ten thousand tons of second-hand ships (because of the addition of more than a dozen freighters, but the number of ships increased), in addition to the repayment. ).
If the Korean War was an opportunity for the shipping industry in the Far East, then the Second Middle East War that occurred in October 1956 was a shipping opportunity for European and American routes.
By then, freight to Europe and the United States will be doubled several times, and Wu Guangyao’s fleet will be doubled in one year.
Wu Guangyao always likes to sort out the memories in his mind, so as not to be forgotten.
As for the record, Wu Guangyao would not consider it at all, because his goals are too big, and it is inevitable that commercial spies will look at him.
If I were to record future events, wouldn’t I be dissected by those laboratories!
After spending a week on Hong Kong Island, Wu Guangyao had to bid farewell to his family and went to London.
The bumps along the way, there is no comfort at all, and the occasional violent bumps make people nervous!
Get off the plane, and the staff here drove Wu Guangyao to Kaila’s new residence, a single-family European-style building.
The two have not seen each other for four months, because Kayla has been pregnant for more than 9 months and it is no longer convenient to come to Hong Kong Island to meet Wu Guangyao.
Knocked on the door, and opened the keen eyes of a fifty-year-old London aunt, Wu Guangyao, and soon discovered that this aunt is not easy!
Because she and Kayla are somewhat similar!
Wu Guangyao became nervous. The suppression of his mother-in-law's blood made Wu Guangyao a little at a loss!
Aunt saw an Asian knocking on the door, her face quickly changed from calm to indifferent, and she said, "Your name is Wu Guangyao?"
Hearing these words, Wu Guangyao was sure that this aunt must be Kayla’s mother, or at least a relative.
Wu Guangyao, who was in the wrong, naturally didn't dare to make troubles, so he hurriedly responded and said hello!
Fortunately, Kayla also came to the door, ignoring her mother's side, and threw herself into Wu Guangyao's arms!
The arrival of Kayla relieved Wu Guangyao's tension and embarrassment in time!
Just when the two were holding each other, Kayla’s mother’s voice came: "Slow down, you are going to give birth soon, don’t over-exercise and be nervous?"
The two separated and came upstairs. Kayla kept introducing to Wu Guangyao how she dealt with production and prepared those jobs.
At dinner, Wu Guangyao finally met Kayla’s family!
Kayla's parents, Kayla's brother.
Because of his own mistakes, Wu Guangyao did not put on a consistently strong style, but appeared very honest!
And Kayla’s family is obviously restraining their anger, which is obviously the credit of Kayla!
Kayla’s mother, from the moment she opened the door, she hadn't had a good attitude, and she had been indifferent.
Kayla’s father was a gray-haired old man, but he was a bit shrewd in his eyes, and he seemed to have room for discussion on Wu Guangyao’s attitude.
Kayla’s brother is a strong white man. He is obviously the person most dissatisfied with Wu Guangyao. If Kayla were not there, Wu Guangyao felt that there was going to be a duel!
Good guy, I feel like a group of enemies are coming in my own territory!
Actually, this meeting was proposed by Wu Guangyao, but let Kayla do a good job in advance to avoid conflict!
The family has always wondered why such an excellent and beautiful girl like Kayla would fall in love with an Asian, even an Asian with a wife.
But they met Wu Guangyao, they had to admit that Wu Guangyao has enough charm to make a girl fall into it, even though he is an Asian.
