Chapter 903： Build a port? (Big

(Business trip again)

As the William and his wife walked into the solemn Kensington Palace, they encountered respectful greetings from servants from time to time.

Yang Cheng has always felt that Kensington Palace is more suitable for museum exhibitions, but now that the British royal family, which already exists as a mascot, can live without living in a museum?

First, I went to the little princess Charlotte’s bedroom. The fairy-tale decoration made the little girl look like a fairy descending the world. Yang Cheng lovingly touched Charlotte’s head, and the gentle movements made the William and his wife laugh. Why don't you give birth to a child if you like it so much?"

Yang Cheng gave them a white look, "There will be, I'm already engaged~"

The William and his wife glanced at each other. Obviously, the news had impacted their eardrums. Yang Cheng, who had always been lingering in the flowers, was going to get married?

"What is Jason? Why didn't you call us during your engagement ceremony?" William was a little annoyed. In his opinion, Yang Cheng was one of his few good brothers. Not telling him about such important things made him feel that Kind of betrayal.

Yang Cheng gave him a punch and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely invite you if I hold a ceremony. At present, I'm only verbally making an engagement with the wife's family. We have no preparations for an engagement ceremony. We will have the wedding directly at that time."

William heaved a sigh of relief and turned his anger into joy, "It turns out that this is the case. It seems that I don't need to worry about your second half of your life. I must tell me in advance when I determine the wedding time. I will personally come to congratulate me anyway."

"Of course, you kid don't want to run~" Yang Cheng joked, not only that, but he is also preparing to hold a wedding that combines Chinese and Western. The best man is indispensable. He is also preparing to form a super best man group, regardless of his wealth background. Suppress any new couple.

"It's too early to talk about this, let's go out and talk, don't disturb our little princess sleeping~"

William stepped forward and kissed the dear girl's forehead. The little guy seemed to feel itching, and raised his little hand with a random wave, which happened to hit William's big nose. The little guy was not too young for his age and went out. At that time, William kept rubbing his sorrowful nose, his face full of helplessness and happiness.

After closing the door, Kate is going to the kitchen to prepare lunch. Yang Cheng is also considered a distinguished guest. As the hostess of Kensington Palace, she must personally supervise the kitchen.

Yang Cheng and William wandered around the palace casually. William rubbed his nose and asked, "I heard that you took down all the land near Beihai Manor?"

Yang Cheng was not surprised that William learned of the manor’s actions. All castles in the UK are registered, and any action must be reported to the relevant department. Castles like Beihai Manor that were sold by the prince himself are even more vulnerable. The focus of attention, not to mention the new manor Yang Cheng bought, the former owner is also a loyalty to the royal family.

"The opportunity is good. That piece of land is twice as large as Beihai Manor. Buying it for expansion will not only increase the territory of the manor but also increase the value in disguise, why not do it." Yang Cheng shrugged and said relaxedly. .

William was quite tasteful, and there was a sour taste in his words, "You **** local tyrant, spend money like earth, extravagant, too extravagant."

Yang Cheng laughed, "You said half a year ago that I will never repay, but now you are not short of money."

He was right. William was not busy reselling Glencore's oil storage business. After working for more than half a year, he finally shared the profit with Yang Orange. Taking into account William's more effort, he directly partitioned the US$200 million. 60% of that, or 120 million U.S. dollars, is a large sum of cash. Now, apart from the grandmother, William England is the richest member of the British royal family.

From William’s smile, he knew how proud he was in his recent life.

No longer struggling with this topic, William suddenly lowered his voice and solemnly said to Yang Cheng, "Jason, the last time the ‘Paradise’ file happened, my grandmother thanked you very much. She asked me to tell you that the royal family owes you a favor."

Yang Cheng was determined in his heart. At that time, under various pressures, he leaked the matter to William ahead of time. Wasn't it just a favor of the British royal family? In modern society, this is almost equivalent to a death-free gold medal. As long as he does not commit a terrible disaster in the United States, he can safely escape other things under the blessing of the British royal family. It is a big deal that he will not return to the United States in the future. The development of Europe.

"I know, and thank the Queen for me." Yang Cheng didn't say much, he believed that the royal family would not turn back, otherwise their face would be lost.

William nodded and said nothing. When the two of them walked to the living room and sat down, they released the volume again. He smiled and asked, "Before you came, you said on the phone that you have a lot of money to make? What is it? Don't sell it, you Knowing that I am now very interested in making money."

Yang Cheng laughed, this prince full of copper smell was completely ruined by him.

Everyone has said so, Yang Cheng is naturally not good to gossip, and directly said, "Mr. John Frederickson, do you know?"

William frowned slightly and asked uncertainly, "Is that the pirate king of Norway?"

Yang Cheng nodded affirmatively, "Yes, he is planning to invest in an oil depot terminal in the UK, and currently prefers to choose a site in Liverpool."

William is familiar with the domestic situation, "This is the right choice. Liverpool is the second largest natural deep-water port in the British Isles after London. However, Liverpool has already built the Birkenhead Tank Terminal, which includes various specifications. The largest reliable oil pipeline of 270,000 dwt large oil tankers, the Birkenhead terminal has to load and unload 11 million tons of crude oil each year."

Yang Cheng didn't know much about it, but she frowned when she heard that Liverpool had already built an oil terminal.

William continued, “Last year, Seago Shipping, a subsidiary of Maersk Group, opened a direct route between the British Isles and the Spanish transshipment hub Port Algeciras, with the intention of connecting British customers with the North African and Mediterranean markets. The destination of the British Isles This is the Port of Liverpool.

The circular route between the Port of Algeciras and the Port of Liverpool will take 6 days and will also call at the Port of Dublin.

The opening of this ring line not only marks the first time that Maersk Group has directly called the Irish capital, but also provides shippers with an alternative to the Port of Rotterdam in northern Europe, supplementing the existing transportation services from Latin America to Port Cork. . "

Yang Orange waved her hands again and again, "William, please speak English, I don't understand~"

William spread his hands. "I'm emphasizing the importance of the Port of Liverpool to you. After all, as a port city, Liverpool has a long maritime history. Today, the world’s largest container shipping company Maersk Line’s call means that the Port of Liverpool has Almost all of the top 20 container shipping companies have become their customers in various forms. If Mr. John Frederickson can also join in, Liverpool’s past glorious maritime history will soon reappear."

William gets more and more excited as he speaks, as if he is leading the project.

"Last year, the second phase of the container terminal project in the Port of Liverpool near the existing terminal officially opened, once again turning it into an international shipping hub.

The Port of Liverpool’s parent company, Peel Port Group, is working hard to attract large ships and large cargo owners to its new terminal. The Port of Liverpool will continue to operate here for 40 to 50 years, which is very consistent with Mr. John Frederickson’s business philosophy. Importantly, joining the Port of Liverpool at this stage will save a lot of money. "

Yang Cheng laughed and joked, "Don't save money for him. The last thing Mr. Frederickson lacks is money. You have to know that in the dry bulk shipping market where he plays a major role, the daily rent of ships has just set a historical record. Some of its oil tankers are now able to make a net profit of US$100,000 per day, and his oil rig is drilling US$600,000 or more per day."

William ignored Yang Cheng's ridicule. He paid more attention to the project implementation. "You said we have money to make?"

Yang Cheng just put away the joke, "Yes, if this news is confirmed and exposed, the stock price of Frederickson's frontline company is bound to be stimulated and usher in a surge."

William understood Yang Cheng's meaning, but he seemed unwilling to just make a wave of quick money from the stock market. He pondered for a long while and asked, "What if we build a dock ourselves?"

Yang Cheng blinked. He didn't know if William came out of this idea or if he had thought about it. He had never had experience in ports before. Of course, this is not a big problem. He has money and can hire professionals to manage it, but What about business? It's impossible to rely on the salesman to call to pull business, right? It was difficult to recover the cost in those eight lifetimes.

William slapped his hands, "No, no, no piers, why don't we just build a brand new port?

You also know that Liverpool has always been a very important port in British history, but our main advantage over the past two decades is in Panamanian cargo ships. The largest vessel that the port can accommodate so far is Panamanian ships, so Liverpool can serve The market is very limited.

Among them, 55% of the goods come to the UK and are shipped to the north of the UK, which is about 4 million standard containers. Now the UK urgently needs a larger port to accommodate more ships and promote a higher market. Share.

At present, we see that the destination of a lot of goods is actually in the north of the United Kingdom, so we feel some pressure and motivation brought by the market to the Port of Liverpool, and build a large port here, which will optimize the supply chain. It can help the Port of Liverpool to improve its competitiveness in international trade, and hopefully reduce the waste of resources by hundreds of millions of pounds in British road transport. Such an important significance will definitely be supported by ZF, and I will coordinate from it. Getting the approval documents is not a problem at all. "

Yang Cheng waved his hand, ready to pour cold water, and decisively raised his concerns, "How do you solve business problems? I know that the performance of global ports in recent years has shown a trend of prosperity, especially the stocks of some port groups. All the way to success, but the overall weakness of the shipping market is an indisputable fact."

He paused, "Instead of building the port by yourself, it is better to directly acquire the Peel Port Group. According to you, the new port of Liverpool Port under construction by the Peel Port Group is sufficient to meet the demand, and as far as I know, the Peel Group is in addition to the port. In addition, there are airport investment projects in London, and real estate, both industrial real estate and commercial real estate.

These have great anti-risk capabilities for future investments. Peel Group invests not only in ports, but also in the economy of the port hinterland, port-centric facilities, and investment in the Manchester Canal, as well as in the northern part of the United Kingdom. Investment will be a very thick industrial chain, and the future prospects are very good. "

William smiled bitterly, "This suggestion is terrible. Peel Port Group cannot be acquired."

Yang Cheng shrugged. Of course he knew, can the Shanghai-Hong Kong Group of Country Z be acquired? Even if you can, you can't afford it.

The reason for saying this is entirely because he is not optimistic about the port construction project and he tactfully refuses it.

William also noticed Yang Cheng’s evasiveness and did not ask further. He changed the subject accordingly, “Leave aside the port affairs for the time being. The money that should be earned is still to be earned. Then I will transfer the money to the four-dimensional space. Four-dimensional space opens a wealth management account."

Yang Cheng has nothing to do. Although 4D Space has almost no external recruitment funds, members of the royal family such as William and buddies such as David Ellison want to take a free ride in making money. Can Yang Cheng say no?

"Have you heard? Harry is in love again, and this time he seems to be rushing to get married."

Yang Cheng was stunned, and suddenly remembered that Harry's love affair that was laughed at by the whole world in his previous life was the heroine, right?

Seeing William's depressed expression, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he asked pretendingly, "Isn't this great? He is also in his 30s, and it is time to enter the palace of marriage."

William touched his bald head Don't mention, this **** guy has found a female star who is bigger than him, that's all, the other party has also appeared in large-scale dramas, the most important thing. However, the woman was divorced. "

Yang Cheng shouted in her heart, "It really is her~"

Meghan Markle, the actress who became famous because of her role in the American drama "Golden Lawyer", can also be regarded as a typical representative of the pheasant turning into a phoenix.

However, regardless of the identity and background of the actress, Prince Harry, who used to be a bohemian, drunk, and chaotic life, is not a good thing if he does not have royal blood. In addition to the unequal identities, the two people are also in other aspects. It's a perfect match.

Opening his mouth pretending to be surprised, "OMG, what does Harry think? Doesn't the female star have any plans?"

William shook his hand sullenly, "I don't know. Hearing that he has the intention to get married, I immediately sent someone to investigate Meghan Markle's information. First of all, I must say that I am not a racist, but Meghan grew up. In the most chaotic neighbourhood of Los Angeles, the mother is black and the father is Irish with Dutch descent. If they get married, they will definitely tarnish the blood of the British royal family. This is something that our whole family does not want to see." ()
