Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

The business is declining, the shipping profit is not good, and the fleet expenses in the hands of the Zhao family are increasing day by day.

Faced with such a situation, it is naturally impossible for Zhao Chuanwang to be able to go all the way to today without a brain.

Chapter 216 The Dilemma of the Zhao Family

Now, he has deeply felt the crisis that Huaguang Group is facing.

Especially for the previous bank loan, the monthly interest alone can swallow up the monthly income of the Zhao family fleet.

At this time, Zhao Chuanwang had saved his own face. Since the bank was unwilling to continue to provide loans, Zhao Chuanwang could only borrow money from people he used to know.

And the reason why Chuanwang Zhao asked Father Xue to come here was also related to the big moves made by Xue's manufacturing industry during this period.

It should be said that before this, even if Zhao Chuanwang was really short of money, he would not be able to ask Father Xue to come here.

After all, the loan that the Zhao family needs is not a small number like 100 or 1000. Because Xue's father had only one clothing factory that was barely able to make ends meet, the other party also looked down on him.

The reason Zhao Chuanwang approached Father Xue was not so much asking for help from Father Xue, but rather that he wanted to borrow Father Xue's hand to ask Yang Chen for help.

Zhao Congyan, who is one of the four major ship kings, even though he is facing difficulties now, the energy accumulated by the Zhao family over the past few decades cannot be underestimated.

Although Zhao Chuanwang couldn't grasp everything about Yang Chen, he was able to find out more or less the details.

It was also for this reason that Chuanwang Zhao had the cheek to find Father Xue, and wanted Father Xue to give him some help based on his previous friendship.

After listening to Father Xue's detailed description of the process of Zhao Chuanwang's visit, Yang Chen couldn't help laughing and asked: "Did uncle agree to Zhao Chuanwang?"

Father Xue blushed slightly, looking a little embarrassed. He was not a fool, so he naturally understood that Zhao Chuanwang came to him and did not really ask him for help.

Although a little embarrassed, Father Xue still smiled wryly and said, "I would like to agree to this, Uncle, but I am afraid that Zhao Chuanwang will not like the little money in your Uncle's hand."

Although Yang Chen invested [-] million Hong Kong dollars in Xue's manufacturing industry before, the money has already been spent on updating equipment and other expenses.

The rest, not much left.

Even if the remaining part does not belong to Father Xue alone, although even if he uses it, I believe Yang Chen will not say anything more.

But as an uncle and father-in-law, how could Father Xue embezzle Yang Chen's money to take advantage of his son-in-law.

Seeing Father Xue's embarrassment, Yang Chen naturally couldn't embarrass the uncle in front of him who treated him like his own son, so he said: "Since Zhao Chuanwang is kind to you, uncle, and he is in trouble now, we can't do anything about it." So, this favor should be paid back, and it still has to be paid back."

"How about this, Uncle, please help me make an appointment with the old man Zhao Chuanwang tomorrow, and then I will have a good talk with him."

"Achen, you..." Hearing this, Father Xue couldn't help being taken aback, and then he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Father Xue naturally knew why Yang Chen wanted to ask Chuanwang Zhao, he obviously saw his uncle's embarrassment, and didn't want his uncle to lose face in front of outsiders.

It is said that people fight for one breath, and Buddhas fight for one stick of incense.The older the man is, the softer his heart is sometimes.

Yang Chen smiled while grilling the rice: "Uncle, don't worry, I'm not helping them for nothing, I won't do things that are not beneficial."

Hearing what Yang Chen said, Father Xue and Xue Yufei's mother and daughter looked at each other, looking at each other, intending to ask, but when he thought that Yang Chen took the initiative to take the matter, Father Xue had nothing to say.

In order to prevent himself from talking too much, and Yang Chen would suffer from above, Father Xue decided that it would be better not to continue to participate in the affairs inside.

Regarding the crisis in the shipping industry, he had already learned about it from Huo Daheng earlier, if Zhao Chuanwang hadn't come to the door in person today, and Yang Chen took the initiative to ask about it, he didn't intend to speak out to cause trouble for Yang Chen.

To say that Yang Chen only wanted to return favors to Father Xue, so he made an appointment with Zhao Chuanwang to help him.

Not necessarily

Yang Chen has always belonged to the kind of person who can't get ahead without profit. Friendship is friendship, and business is business.

And Yang Chen asked Xue's father to help him meet Zhao Chuanwang, in fact, he wanted to do business with him.

To say that Yang Chen is really unfamiliar with that Zhao Chuanwang who has never met, even if it is his predecessor.

However, when Yang Chen read Xiangjiang Wen in his previous life, who was a playboy who was famous in the Xiangjiang family, he really went to find out.

Zhao Chuanwang has four sons and one daughter in total, not to mention the other sons and daughter Yang Chen, only Zhao Shizeng, who is known as the number one playboy in Xiangjiang, the news about him is really jaw-dropping.

Zhao Shizeng is somewhat similar to Ye Gambling King. One of them has been eating, drinking and having fun for a lifetime.One is gambling, gambling for a lifetime.

According to later reports, the playboy once threatened to have dated women with more than 5 figures.

Five digits, God, Yang Chen couldn't help but snapped his fingers at that time. Calculated by 360 five days a year, and then calculated by the lowest number among the five digits, changing one every day would take more than twenty years.

This can no longer be described in terms of livestock.

If it weren't for the fact that future generations are used to hearing those richest men bragging about their nonsense, never touching money, not being interested in money, or setting small goals at every turn, blindness or something, Yang Chen might really believe it.

Although this makes people a little unbelievable, it also reflects from the side that the other party's private life is really messy, and playing can be regarded as the pinnacle of life.

This kind of person, even if he kicks his legs when he gets old, he has nothing to regret.

After lamenting Mr. Zhao's flair, Yang Chen couldn't help thinking about how to take advantage of the opponent's father next.

During this period of time, the world's shipping industry is in a downturn. No matter how low the price is for a ship like Zhao Chuanwang's, no one will buy it.

After all, Japan and South Korea are constantly launching low-priced new boats, and who has nothing to buy used old boats.

Thinking of a few years later, Huaguang Group encountered a financial crisis, owed about several billion Hong Kong dollars in debt, and was forced to suspend trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

In the end, if it weren't for Zhao Chuanwang's oath to protect Huaguang Group, on the one hand, it sold non-core businesses in the real estate industry, and on the other hand, it reluctantly sold hundreds of antiques, and sold 3 million Hong Kong dollars of famous porcelain and jade in two years.

Finally, in 1986, Huaguang successfully obtained the approval of creditors, started asset restructuring, and resumed listing on the stock exchange the following year.

The four big ship magnates, I'm afraid it really has become a thing of the past.

Yang Chen made an appointment with Zhao Ship King, mainly because he wanted to take over some ships from the other party. As for the purpose, it was naturally to prepare for the expansion of Carrefour.

Of course, the most important thing is to set up his own transportation fleet for his behind-the-scenes grain and oil strategy. Each of the four major grain merchants in the future has its own transportation fleet.

Its purpose is not to be choked by others, but also to better and more conveniently guarantee one's own privacy.

Once he expands Carrefour in the future, he must have his own fleet to ensure timely delivery of goods.

Chapter 217 Yang Chen's Abacus

As for replacing the Zhao family and becoming Xiangjiang's new ship king, to be honest, Yang Chen is not very interested in it.

In front of the Zhao family, there is also a Chartered Ship King and Dong Chuan King. Compared with the two big bosses, the Zhao family's fleet is of a much lower grade.

Even if the charter king abandons the ship and lands now, the remaining fleet is not comparable to the Zhao family.

As for Dong Chuanwang, let alone, relying on the background accumulated by the Dong family over the years, in this crisis, he rode the best and accelerated the expansion of his fleet.

Now it has also replaced the Chartered Ship King and has become the new No. [-] Chinese Ship King.
