As for a port city, there will inevitably be some people who are famous for shipping.

These people are usually called ship kings.

The ship king in Xiangjiang is not fixed.

There are now four ship kings in Xiangjiang.

Global Shipping Bao Yugang, Dong Hao from Orient Overseas, Cao Wenjin from Wanbang Group, and Zhao Congyan from Huaguang Rail Industry.

If Bao Yu had just passed away in a few years and the Bao family consortium had completely landed, then the old ship king Xu family, 40 years ago, would be filled in and become one of the new four ship kings.

Oh, a direct descendant of the Xu family, is the lucky one who married Li Jiaxin.

However, the rise and fall of shipping is actually the same as the rise and fall of families on land.

Many times, the general environment and the times determine whether you rise or decline.

For example, in the 1960s and 1970s, the overall environment was very good. Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Malaysia and other countries developed vigorously, requiring a large amount of various materials, so shipping was booming, and the ship operation industry in Hong Kong made a big profit, and the four major ship kings were in the limelight.

As early as 1978, the charter king's assets exceeded 1 billion US dollars, what a terrifying figure!

But some things cannot be saved by manpower.

In the 1980s, due to the slowdown in the development of various countries, the demand for materials gradually decreased, while shipping companies engaged in this industry were constantly adding new ships, which caused vicious competition around the world.

Everyone is busy cutting prices and attracting business, relying on small profits and quick turnover to maintain shipping companies...

The consequence of this is that no matter how big a shipping company you are, you will suffer continuous losses.

The Dong family, among the four major ship kings, is the most typical example.

Two years ago, Mr. Dong passed away. He lost his strong connections and good at dancing, and his life in the Dong family became more and more difficult.

Under very bad external conditions, the Dong family used a freighter to mortgage the bank, but it had already been insolvent due to depreciation.

In April this year, their annual report was that Oriental Overseas Company's debt was as high as HK$7 billion and it required interest payment of HK$380 million.

And last year their total profit was only 120 million.

In other words, the money earned is not enough to repay the interest.

Do you think that under such circumstances, can Oriental Overseas stocks still rise?

It has fallen to the bottom long ago!

But the most troublesome thing is not the company itself, but the Japanese.

Before Mr. Dong's death, he not only ambitioned to acquire a large number of overseas shipping companies, but also ordered 24 new ships from five Japanese shipyards, totaling 5 million tons of tonnage.

The total value of these ships is about 500 million US dollars, which is nearly 4 billion Hong Kong dollars!

The Dong family has so much debt, where can they get the money to pay so much money?

But if you don’t pay the goods, you will not only be unable to get the ship, but you will also face compensation of up to HK$2 billion.

The Dong family is in a dilemma.

Originally, they could hold on for another two years, and then they had to ask Mr. Huo for help, and Mr. Huo took action to help them overcome the difficulties.

But this life is different.

It’s not that they can’t support it anymore, but that Mr. Dong saw the opportunity.

A great opportunity to bring their Dong family back to life!

This is the super-large iron ore that Yin Jun discovered in Australia!

Mr. Dong went to Western Australia to check it out some time ago.

The Christmas Creek Iron Ore has a total of 1.5 billion tons of iron-rich ore, which is a conservative estimate. If you add about 50% of the iron ore, it will probably exceed 2 billion tons.

Yin Jun must have sold these iron ore to mainland China, Japan, China and South Korea.

In this case, a large transport ship must be transported.

Based on the current shipment volume of the Iron Ore Group in Australia, it is estimated that the annual shipment volume of the Christmas Creek Iron Ore area should be more than 30 million tons.

Then it will be 2.5 million tons per month, and it will be transported by 100,000 tons of ships, which means the transportation volume of 25 ships.

Not to mention getting all the transportation orders, even if you get half of them, it will be enough for the Dong family to come back to life and rejuvenate!

But now there is a prerequisite, which is also the biggest difficulty.

That is, the Dong family and Yin Jun have different positions. Yin Jun is dedicated to the mainland, while Mr. Dong is directed to the other side.

It is precisely for this reason that Mr. Dong hesitated.

However, as soon as this year's financial statements came out, Mr. Dong did not hesitate at all.

The Dong family is almost finished, so why are you still concerned about the ones that have nothing to do?

Saving your life is the most important thing!

But I decided to find Yin Jun, which was not that easy to find.

Although your Dong family is one of the four major ship kings in Xiangjiang, so what about this?

Yin Jun is still the second richest man in Xiangjiang, and he is likely to become the most richest man in Xiangjiang within five years!

They have nothing to do with each other, so why do you ask them to give you these shipping business?

The relationship between him and the ship charter king is so hardcore!

Before Yin Jun became successful, the King of Ship Chartering had been praising Yin Jun in public, helping him solve a lot of trouble openly and secretly.

With such a connection, he did not hand over the business to the ship charter king, but instead gave it to you strangers?

Stop kidding!

Therefore, Mr. Dong needs to find a suitable intermediary, an intermediary who has weight in Yin Jun's mind, in order to achieve his goals.

This candidate is so easy to find.

In Xiangjiang, there is only one person with a reputation as the King of Shipbuilding and a good friend of Yin Jun.

Mr. Huo.

It just so happens that Mr. Huo is Mr. Dong’s friend. On weekdays, Mr. Dong visits him every festival, and he still has this incense.

But Mr. Huo also has one problem, that is, his position.

Mr. Huo's position is the same as Yin Jun, and he is even more firm.

It may not be a problem for him to touch Yin Jun, because among the people Yin Jun respects the most, Mr. Huo.

But what reason do you use to make him talk about Yin Jun is a very mysterious question.

Mr. Dong knew that if Mr. Huo agreed, there was only one way to go.

After half a month of careful consideration, Mr. Dong finally walked into Mr. Huo's mansion.

However, the next day, Mr. Huo asked Yin Jun, who had been back for several days, to come for a meal.

Many times, Chinese people do not pay attention to judging heroes by wealth.

Even if Ma Yun is the richest man in China, when he meets a teacher who has taught him, he will still call him respectfully. When he meets a poor elder, he still has to listen to him and it is impossible for him to turn around and leave when he meets a few words.

If you are such a person, you will not be able to achieve such a career at all.

Mr. Huo asked Yin Jun to come for dinner. He was a senior and was a person who had been helping Yin Jun. This was natural.

He would not feel that his current wealth was behind Yin Jun, so he should go to Shi Xundao's manor for dinner.

Of course, Yin Jun would not think so. If a person succeeds, he will be arrogant, and he will not be proud for long.

So Yin Jun arrived an hour in advance.

He knew that Mr. Huo must have something to discuss with him.

When the boy was walking in the garden with Mr. Huo, he heard Mr. Huo talk about the matter about the Dong family and the matter that Mr. Dong had decided to go to this side.

Yin Jun was not surprised at all. If Mr. Dong did not do this, his first governor would not be his turn.

Mr. Huo was a little surprised, "Are you not surprised at all? Are you not afraid that he is just a temporary solution?"

"Some things are impossible to turn back once they have expressed their opinions, otherwise he will be different from each other." Yin Jun smiled, "More importantly, we are stronger day by day. Even if he is a little undecided now, he will also cast his votes on us after seeing more benefits."

Yin Jun hasn't said yet, let alone Mr. Dong, even the group of businessmen on Baodao have been operating business in the mainland for a long time, so have they also leaned against us?

"Yes, only when you become stronger and stronger can you make everyone come home." Mr. Huo sighed and asked again, "What do you think?"

"You can give it to him." Yin Jun had nothing to hide from Mr. Huo. "My expect is to ship 100 million tons per year. He and the Wang family of the chartered ship must be more than enough."

"so much!?"

Mr. Huo took a breath, "You will dig all your mining area in 15 years? What a loss!"

He really regarded Yin Jun as his nephew, so he was concerned about whether he was too hasty.

After all, there is no mine that produces 100 million tons of ore a year, which is not in line with the principle of maximizing interests.

Even the three major iron ore companies today may have a total shipment volume of around 100 million tons per year.

Although they have a lot of iron ore in their hands, the mines are not renewable resources, and they will disappear after digging.
