Chapter 173 The Rong family plans Wharf (3)
Xiangjiang area, Rong family villa.
"Okay, Mandarin Hotel, three o'clock in the afternoon."
"Oh, by the way, I will introduce a friend to you tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Rong Ren looked at Zhao Wenmu:
"Amu, are you interested in coming with me to meet Li Chaoren tomorrow?"
"Okay, I've heard about Mr. Superman's name for a long time. It's a rare opportunity to meet him, so naturally I would be disrespectful."
Zhao Wenmu replied with a smile.
In his previous life, he could only shake hands with a boss of this level and had no chance to get close to him, let alone have any personal relationship with him.
It would be nice to have a close encounter with the glory of being a big boss in this life.
"Amu, what do you think of Niu Bijian?"
After a phone call with Li Chaoren, Rong Renyi was visibly happy, Rong Zhenbang couldn't hide his excitement, and the topics the three chatted with became more and more casual.
"Niu Bijian has only a small wit but no big plan."
Zhao Wenmu shook his head and said.
"Oh, how do you say this?"
Rong Renyi actually looked down on Niu Bijian. That was because of his qualifications and reputation. Compared with him, Niu Bijian was indeed a bit lower in rank.
The light of a grain of rice dares to compete with the sun and the moon.
Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is also very appropriate.
But as the chairman of the board of directors of Jardine Matheson, New Bijian can be said to be a powerful figure, the most successful among the successful.
A young man from the Mainland said that he has "little wisdom but no big plans", which is really surprising.
"The Jardine Matheson Company under the leadership of New Bijian is too wary of the Chinese government, has a pessimistic attitude towards the transition, and pursues the policy of "making money in Hong Kong and developing overseas"."
"Hong Kong is China's Hong Kong. He miscalculated the mainland government's determination to maintain the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong."
"This kind of two-pronged approach will only make everything that Yihe Matheson seems to be prosperous, but it is nothing but rootless duckweed, unable to withstand the wind and rain."
"To say that Nu Bijian has Xiaozhi is already flattering him."
Zhao Wenmu commented unceremoniously.
What he said was very rude. In fact, in this era, there are many people like Niu Bijian who have prejudices against the Chinese government.
Most British businessmen in Xiangjiang probably have the same idea as him.
"Yes, Niu Bijian should go to the mainland to have a look."
Rong Ren nodded and said.
"Zhenbang, next time you go to the mainland with me."
Hearing this, Rong Zhenbang responded seriously. This conversation with Zhao Wenmu touched him deeply, and he couldn't wait to go to the mainland to see it.
In his impression, the mainland was closed, poor and backward, but Zhao Wenmu gave him too many surprises and surprises.
After all, Xiangjiang is just a tiny place.
The inland is the boundless sea.
Only the sea can accommodate Kunpeng.
"The Anglo-Saxons put on suits, but their arrogance and prejudice in their hearts will not change. Even if New Bijian goes to the mainland, he will still not change."
Zhao Wenmu shook his head and said.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Rong Renyi also shook his head and laughed.
He agreed very much with Zhao Wenmu's words.
Rong Renyi has dealt with the Ansa people all his life. Under the civilized and polite appearance of the Ansa people, they are full of hypocrisy, greed and arrogance.
"Amu, do you know why I reduced the number of ships and landed?"
Shipping King Rongyi reduced his fleet to land in the 1980s. His courage and courage are admirable, and his foresight and acumen are jaw-dropping.
Zhao Wenmu predicts the future by relying on the perspective of God as a reborn person.
The Ship King and his son's reduction of ships and landing was entirely based on accurate logical reasoning.
In 1977, Rong Renyi entered the shipping industry for exactly 20 years. At this time, he was already the world's largest shipping king, with more than 200 ships under his name, with a total tonnage of more than 13 million tons.
Last year, in 1980, this figure rose to 21 million tons.
What is the concept?
The total tonnage of the Soviet Union's national fleet, the superpower at this time, our big brother, is only this.
One person can rival the only two superpowers.
So scary!
However, just when the shipping industry reached its peak, Eong Renyi made a major decision to reduce the number of ships and land.
That is to say, the focus of business is gradually shifting to land.
It was only mid-1981, and even many Xiangjiang bosses did not notice that Rong Renyi was reducing the number of ships to land.
But just now Rong Renyi did not explain that he was reducing the number of ships to land, but directly asked Zhao Wenmu why he was doing this.
Obviously, in his heart he believed that Zhao Wenmu knew this fact.
"Uncle Rong, your shipping business has benefited from oil. It is the extreme expansion of its demand that has made the world's shipping business unprecedentedly prosperous. And you relied on leverage to fully obtain the maximum benefit."
"In this case, I think the biggest reason for the Rong family's decision to reduce the number of ships to land was oil."
"Moreover, shipping is a highly cyclical industry. You predict that the Great Depression of the entire industry will be in the near future."
Zhao Wenmu spoke eloquently.
Rong Zhenyi and Zhao Jing, who were hiding and whispering, also sat around when Rong Zhenbang exclaimed "Hutchison Whampoa".
At this moment, I was listening attentively.
"Third brother, how do you know that daddy started his business by relying on leverage?"
Rong Zhenyi asked curiously.
Zhao Wenmu expressed that he really wanted to roll his eyes.
You know it from reading books, how else can you know it?
"Well, after I met Uncle Rong, I paid close attention to Uncle Rong's entrepreneurial journey, and I also inquired about it carefully when I came to Xiangjiang this time."
"Rong Shujun's illustrious entrepreneurial journey is not only a target for Jing Xingxing to look up to, but also a model for me to learn from."
Zhao Wenmu made up a reason and slapped a rainbow fart.
"Haha, when you say this, you sound like an ancient traitor."
Rong Zhenyi said with a smile.
Rong Zhenbang reached out and patted her on the head.
Rong Zhenyi stuck out her tongue, shrank her head and took two steps back.
Although these words are flattering, they are also Zhao Wenmu's sincere words. Mr. Rong's entrepreneurial path is worth learning from.
Rong Ren just laughed after hearing this.
"At that time, most shipping companies were keen on buying ships and renting them short-term to make a lot of money, because the profit margins were very high."
When Rong Ren came to Xiangjiang and initially established himself, it was when the global shipping industry began to develop crazily. It was for this reason that he chose to develop the shipping industry.
At that time, it could basically be said that you could make money just by having a ship, and making money was almost the same as printing money.
It will be similar to the shipping industry in 2021 and 2022.
Sea Dog can make hundreds of billions a year, and the total money earned in the previous twenty years may not be as much as a fraction of that in one of these years.
The shipping industry is so cyclical.
When you make money, one year is worth ten years, and in other years you make losses, but in the end you may not make any money at all.
"I scraped together US$770,000, bought a cargo ship, and then leased it to an RB company on a long-term basis. This decision was absolutely revolutionary for the shipping industry at that time."
Rongren lit a cigar and opened the window again.
The boss seems to be ready for a long conversation.
