Chapter 238 The news of Mr. Yang’s entry into the global shipping industry shocked the world

The press conference of Imperial Group has just ended, and many reporters are still interviewing Li Caixin, general manager of First Shipping Group, a subsidiary of Imperial Group.

Li Caixin himself is the executive vice president of Hutchison Whampoa. He has experienced the Hutchison Whampoa Qi Dezun era, the current Hutchison Whampoa (Hui Feng Bank) Wei Li era, and the current Hutchison Whampoa Empire Group era.

His abilities are very strong and are recognized.

Now, as he serves as the first general manager of First Shipping Group, he naturally attracts the attention of these reporters.

For the sake of news, exposure, and newspaper sales, reporters kept asking difficult questions to interview Lee Cai-sin, and even deliberately dragged Bao Yugang, the world's largest shipping tycoon, Dong Haoyun, the second largest shipping tycoon in Hong Kong, and others. Come in and deliberately create conflicts to gain more attention from Xiangjiang citizens.

There are some questions that Li Caixin can answer.

However, Li Caixin just smiled and refused to answer some questions.

Even then, this press conference and the reporter's interview with Li Caixin still shocked many reporters present.

Some reporters immediately left the Empire Group to report back to the publication to rush for the publication, striving to get it published in advance before the Evening News or other newspapers were released.

Some reporters had just left the Imperial Group and immediately spread the news.

Soon, many people in Xiangjiang heard the news.

. . .

Prince's Building.

Universal Group Chairman's Office.

Bao Yugang came to the company early to work as usual.

He is a very hard-working person, working hard every day for ten years. However, he will also leave many things in the company to his eldest son-in-law Su Yiwen and his second son-in-law Wu Guangzhen to cultivate their abilities, and he will even choose one of them as his successor.

Some time ago, he and his wife were invited to Yanjing to attend the National Day ceremony.

On the second day, he and other representatives took the train south and returned to Xiangjiang.

He didn't expect that Mr. Yang was really generous and gave a big gift to the country.

In the name of the Yang Ming Foundation, it donates HK$1 million a year and donates every year.

Thirty years is 3 billion Hong Kong dollars.

This is definitely a lot of money.

Bao Yugang felt that Mr. Yang was really generous and showed his patriotism towards the country.

On the contrary, Bao Yugang and others returned to Yanjing to attend the National Day ceremony. They did not give any gifts. They just went back to see the changes in the country.

Their main purpose is to see whether the country is worth investing in?

However, he found that the domestic situation still disappointed him. He felt that the domestic political and business environment was not suitable for investment.

Although it has a population of nearly one billion and is a huge market, it is still in the era of planned economy, and their capital in Hong Kong cannot enter at all.

When Bao Yugang was busy there, he suddenly pushed open the door without being knocked on.

When Bao Yugang thought it was someone who was so rude, it turned out to be his second son-in-law Wu Guangzhen.

"Guang Zhen, why are you so panicked? Look at Mr. Yang from the Imperial Group. He is younger than you, but he is much more stable than you."

His praise of Yang Ming was heartfelt, but it was a pity that every time he sighed, he was missing a daughter, otherwise he really wanted to marry his daughter to him.

He also considered his granddaughter, but the age difference between her and Mr. Yang was too big, so it was not suitable.

"Father, Mr. Yang you said is going to revolutionize our family!" Wu Guangzhen said.

"The Lebao family's fate?"

Bao Yugang didn't react.

Wu Guangzhen knew it very well.

Global shipping and Asian shipping are the foundation of the Bao Yugang family. Bao Yugang is the global shipping king, and his real estate and other industries have been developed on the basis of global shipping.

In other words, the Bao Yugang family cannot do without the shipping industry.

If there were no shipping industry, there would be no current Bao Yugang family.

Wu Guangzhen learned from his journalist friend that the Imperial Group had just held a press conference to announce the integration of the shipping industry of several major groups under it and the establishment of the current Xiangjiang First Shipping Group.

Moreover, Hutchison Whampoa's executive vice president and political director Li Caixin will serve as the first general manager.

When Wu Guangzhen heard the news for the first time, he was indeed shocked.

For him, Imperial Group's entry into the shipping industry is more than just a matter of crying wolf.

It is obvious that Mr. Yang wants to enter this industry and even monopolize it.

The Imperial Group has a strong capital flow, and now it has sorted out the shipping industry of those foreign shipping groups. The foundation is already there, and there is no need to develop it at all.

On the contrary, it took more than ten years for Bao Yugang to establish the foundation of the first shipping company. It took more than 20 years for Bao Yugang to become the world's shipping king.

Global shipping and Asian shipping are the foundation of the Bao Yugang family.

Now that the Imperial Group has entered the global shipping industry with great force, for Wu Guangzhen, doesn't it mean to revolutionize their family's life?

"Guang Zhen, no matter what happens, you can't panic. How can you behave in a panic? How can you succeed? You should calm down first, think clearly, and then talk to me."

"Yes, father."

Bao Yugang has experienced ups and downs over the years and has seen all kinds of big things. Nothing really scares him.

Before Wu Guangzhen said anything, the landline phone next to Bao Yugang suddenly rang.

He picked it up and saw that it was a call from his eldest son-in-law Su Yanwen.

Su Yanwen spoke in English, and Bao Yugang heard it clearly.

At this moment, he understood why the second son-in-law Wu Guangzhen was panicking.

Isn't it just that the Imperial Group integrated the shipping industry of its subsidiaries and established the current Xiangjiang First Shipping Group?

In Bao Yugang's view, whether it is Mr. Yang or others, if they can swallow up other foreign banks in Xiangjiang, they will do so. This will integrate internal resources and enhance their own advantages and competitiveness.

Just like Bao Yugang and Global Shipping now, the total deadweight tonnage is nearly 10 million tons. The combined total deadweight tonnage of the world's second largest to tenth largest shipping groups is less than that of Bao Yugang's Global Shipping and Asia's seaborne gross tonnage is high.

In this case, Bao Yugang’s global shipping advantage is very obvious.

In addition to being able to monopolize prices, they can even determine prices.

If the shipping prices of other companies are too high, then as long as he lowers the shipping prices slightly, he can win the global shipping market. This is his advantage and dominance in the global shipping industry.

The idea of ​​Mr. Li from Imperial Group is obviously developing in this direction.

At the beginning, Bao Yugang also wanted to take over Wharf Matheson. In addition to Wharf's own Wharf shipping industry, Wharf also owns many very good warehouses and terminals in Hong Kong. These warehouses and terminals are very suitable as supporting measures for the shipping industry. .

Wharf Bank was swallowed up by the Imperial Group, and he no longer had that idea.

Today, Mr. Yang of the Imperial Group has integrated the shipping industries of Wharf Group, Hutchison Whampoa Group, and Jardine Matheson Land to establish Xiangjiang First Shipping Group. Global Shipping and Asia Shipping are regarded as a whole by the Bao Yugang family. , so now in Xiangjiang, in addition to Dong Haoyun's Orient Overseas, the third shipping group is Mr. Yang's first shipping group.

As for the Zhao family’s Huaguang Shipping, the Cao family’s Wanbang Shipping Industry.

Even, Wheelock & Marine Shipping Industry, Swire Shipping Industry.

These are all ranked behind Mr. Yang’s First Shipping Group of the Imperial Group.

In other words, Mr. Yang of the Imperial Group does not need to contribute much or develop. Now he is the boss of the third largest shipping group in Hong Kong.

He is also the third world shipping king in Hong Kong.

Wu Guangzhen was afraid.

Su Yiwen was nervous.

Bao Yugang looked calm.
