After making arrangements for the Berlin Consumer Electronics Show and the Frankfurt Motor Show, Bao Zixuan returned to Hong Kong. Huaxia has officially designated Shenhai City as a special economic zone, and Fok Yingdong organized a group of businessmen from Xiangjiang to join in according to the needs of the country. Let's see if we can invest and build factories in the deep sea, and consider the country at this time. Many times, he used his own influence to bring Hong Kong businessmen to invest in the mainland, and he also invested in and built many large-scale projects.
After Bao Zixuan returned to Xiangjiang, he just rested at home for a day and came to Huo Mansion early in the morning. Where many Hong Kong tycoons have arrived in advance, and everyone greeted him when they saw Bao Zixuan coming over.
Dong Haoyun: "Xiao Bao, I haven't seen you for a few months, but your handwriting is getting bigger every time. You just acquired Hutchison Whampoa and acquired two auto brands in the United States not long after, and the sales at the exhibition reached more than 1 billion US dollars. You kid. We made more money in two years than we made in 20 years.
Bao Zixuan: "Mr. Dong is joking, it's just a fluke. I still have a long way to go compared to my predecessors, but I haven't seen you for a few months, and I haven't seen you look much better. Is there any happy event?"
Dong Haoyun: "It's Xiaobao who knows me. I just bought the world's largest oil tanker by displacement. After completion, it will definitely bring the Dong family's shipping business to a higher level."
Hearing this, Bao Zixuan knows that sometimes history is really difficult to change. Due to the foundation of cooperation with Heiyun, Dong Haoyun's appetite is growing. "He strives for the world's first in everything. At that time, the largest oil tanker was 60,000 tons, and he had to order 80,000 tons; others developed to 100,000 tons. , he wants 120,000 tons." Since 1967, Dong Haoyun has successively ordered 3 batches of very large oil tankers () with a load of 220,000 tons or more from RB Sasebo Shipyard and several other shipyards, each batch of 6 ships, a total of 18 ships . The first two batches of 220,000 tons are already very large oil tankers (), and the third batch has already entered the stage of super-large oil tankers () of more than 300,000 tons each. Such 18 very large tankers have formed a giant fleet. Such a great spirit, it is like a cloud, it makes the world stunned!
Dong Haoyun did not stop, and later bought 360,000 tons of "Brazil Glory" and 380,000 tons of "Brazil Vision". But that's not the climax of the story.
In 1976, a Greek shipowner ordered a 420,000-ton oil tanker at the Oohama Shipyard of RB Sumitomo Heavy Industries in Yokosuka City. But man is not as good as God, and before the tanker is completed, the Greek is bankrupt. In 1979, the tanker fell into the hands of Dong Haoyun.
But Dong Haoyun thought it was not big enough. He is determined to be the number one in the world, even if only a little bit bigger. So I gave this topic to the chief engineer Huang Cifa. After careful design and calculation, Huang Cifa came up with a trick: to cut the middle of the 420,000-ton ship and add a section. This addition adds 140,000 tons to the 564,763-dwt "Giant of the Sea".
On December 19, 1980, the "Sea Giant" was successfully launched, which caused a sensation in RB and the world. It deserves to be the largest ship in the world, more than 120 meters longer and 8 times heavier than the world's largest aircraft carrier, the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier of the US Navy! The development of oil tankers to "sea giants" can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented, so far unparalleled! "Sea Giant" is the greatest masterpiece of human beings on the sea. The swift and winding track behind it is reminiscent of the greatest masterpiece of human beings on land - the Great Wall of China!
"Sea Giant" also marked Dong Haoyun's shipping career reaching its peak. From a 16-year-old boy entering the shipping industry in 1928, after decades of rough seas, he finally formed a powerful fleet with a total of 150 ships and more than 11 million gross tonsmore than double the Greek ship king Onassis. He and another Ningbo native, Bao Yugang, are like two peaks inserting clouds, and they are on the throne of "World Ship King" together!
But now I don't know how to persuade Dong Haoyun that the Sea Giant is the peak of Dong's career, and it is also the source of almost bankruptcy. As the oil crisis intensified came the shipping crisis. The Dong family almost went bankrupt because of this. Fortunately, both sons were very capable. In addition, Dong Haoyun had many friends before his death, and everyone helped at the critical moment! It seems that we can only give some money to help the Dong family to tide over the difficulties, but the reminder still needs to be reminded.
Bao Zixuan: "Mr. Dong, the current oil market is very unstable. There may not be too many oil tankers in the future. I think it is better to buy more freighters."
Dong Haoyun is now thinking about surpassing Bao Yugang to become the world's No. 1 ship king, but Bao Xuan still listened to some of his words. Knowing that extremes can be counterproductive, too many tankers are really not a good thing. It seems that some tanker purchase contracts will be reduced in the future. This is to help the Dong family in disguise!
Huo Yingdong came over and said, "Xiao Baosheng, we are ready, we are waiting for you. But this time you have set an example for Hong Kong businessmen, and even American car brands have been bought by you. This has greatly increased my door to Hong Kong. The ambition of a businessman."
Bao Zixuan: "Huo Lao has won awards, these are a little insignificant compared to your previous feats."
Huo Yingdong: "Okay, what other feats do I have now? It's all in the past. I'm calling you back this time because I want to go to the deep sea to see together, and a new industrial zone has been built in Shekou country. Xiangjiang businessmen are very welcome to invest , I'll go there tomorrow and see how it goes. In addition, your vehicle pass has been processed for you, so you can drive there directly."
Bao Zixuan knew that apart from the roads of a few special cities, other places on the mainland were not easy to travel. So when I decided to go to the deep sea, I talked to Huo Yingdong about my concerns and wanted to drive the XV Knight of the Black Cloud. Otherwise, how many crimes would you have to suffer!
However, after Huo Yingdong told Bao Zixuan's request to the leaders of Shenhai City, they didn't dare to call the shots. After all, there was no precedent. Not only Shenhai City did not dare to make decisions, but also did not dare to make assertions when reporting to Nanyue Province. In the end, it was only after the special approval from the highest level that there was a precedent for driving directly over this time.
After all, everything has to cross the river by feeling the stones, and many things and policies have to be changed and tilted accordingly. This is what Huo Yingdong applied for, plus it was Bao Zixuan's car, otherwise it would be impossible.
In the words of the highest level: "If you don't let people come over even a car, why would they invest a lot of money in you? Why should UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com believe you, and what matters can be special. manage."
It's just that Bao Zixuan didn't know, he didn't expect things to be so troublesome. After all, there were many license plates in Xiangjiang and Shenhai in the previous life, and a large number of vehicles traveled between the two places every day.
Bao Zixuan: "Elder Huo, who will we all go over tomorrow?"
Huo Yingdong: "You, me, Dong Sheng and Bao Sheng. The four of us will go to explore the way first. The others will have to see the situation. Besides, there are too many people going to the deep sea city, and the deep sea city can't be accommodated. Now the infrastructure there is not good. Good, you have to be mentally prepared."
But we can only go there, the bodyguards and entourage are waiting for us at the port, I hope everyone understands this.
Bao Zixuan: "I have no problem, but now it seems that I can only drive the three of you; what time will I be waiting for you at the port."
Huo Yingdong: "We are getting old. Besides, your car can't be driven by ordinary people. We will meet at Luohu Port on time at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. We will take your car and go directly there."
Bao Zixuan: "No problem, but my car is very fuel-hungry. There is diesel supply in Shenhai City! And how can we exchange Huaxia coins? After all, the mainland is not financially rich now, and people can't let people pay for us. This is also a problem. A small fee."
Huo Yingdong didn't expect Bao Zixuan to think so in detail. It seems that this young man made a fortune. Smart, bold, careful, with all the conditions to become a great entrepreneur.
Huo Yingdong: "Diesel is still available. You don't need to bring Huaxia coins. I will treat you all the money. You can bring some dollars, and the deep sea can also be exchanged for use."
After Huo Mansion confirmed the details of going to the deep sea, Bao Zixuan returned home. He also has to take a good rest. After all, he will drive three tycoons tomorrow, so there is no room for sloppiness.
