Unlimited roaming of all heavens movies
Chapter 48: Renewing Glory
Tornado saw that Azan had finished his report, so he continued:
“Boss, we need more ships. In addition to various private trades, our major factories in Hung Hom, To Kwa Wan and Kowloon Tong have also begun to supply in large quantities.
Monthly production of textiles, leather, ready-made garments, electronics, vintage fans, toys and other items are produced in large quantities every day.
If delivery is not timely, it is easy to default. Now all our cargo ships add up to less than one million tons, and the shipping capacity is far from enough. "
Upon hearing this, Li Shaoan asked:
"Then how many ships do you think we'll need to alleviate the situation?"
Tornado thought about it for a while and said:
“Boss, according to our current business trends, we will need at least 5 million tons of shipping capacity within five years, and our shortfall is as high as 4 million tons of shipping capacity.
So now we have to entrust many of our goods to charter ship Wang Hai for transportation, but there are some items that we can only transport by ourselves and it is not convenient to entrust them to others. "
After listening to this, Li Shaoan thought about it carefully.
Now global shipping prices have skyrocketed, and the price of sea vessels is also ridiculously high. A cargo ship of tens of thousands of tons can cost tens of millions of US dollars. To fill the 4 million tons of shipping capacity, it may cost more than 5 billion US dollars.
Although you can get a bank mortgage loan.
But without a familiar bank, others would not lend so much money. Moreover, bank interest rates are too high in this era, even as high as 14%, which is not cost-effective at all.
The world economy is currently running well, and this cycle of expensive sea transportation will last for another ten years.
It was not until the 1980s that oil prices skyrocketed, causing a great impact on European and American countries with huge demand for energy, leading to economic depression in various countries.
Coupled with the rise of South Korea's shipbuilding industry, which squeezed European and Japanese shipbuilding companies, shipping prices plummeted and the price of sea vessels dropped significantly.
He pondered for a moment, and thought that the shipping cycle was still ten years long. As long as there were ships in these ten years, there would be money to be made, so there was no need to be afraid of shipbuilding.
So he opened his mouth and said:
"Ah Le, how much does a new ship cost now, and how long does it take to build? The United States built many Victory ships in the 1940s and 1950s. Are these second-hand ships still usable?"
Tornado thought for a moment and replied:
"Boss, now a 50,000-ton cargo ship, if manufactured in Japan, only costs 70 million US dollars. If it is manufactured by a European shipyard, it will be more expensive, about 85 million US dollars.
Because the economies of countries around the world are booming now, a large number of cargo ships are needed, so it takes at least a year for a new ship to be put to sea, and the prerequisite is to jump the queue.
The Victory is not cheap either. Now a second-hand 10,000-ton ship that has been running for nearly 30 years costs about 4 million US dollars, and there are not many people willing to buy it.
Boss, we have a good relationship with the Yamaguchi-gumi. If we want to build a new ship, they can help us and contact Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Kawasaki Shipbuilding to help us jump the queue.
Combined with our network of relationships in Europe and the United States, we can add 4 million tons of shipping capacity in at most three years.
But we don’t have that much money, and this would require at least a down payment of US$1.5 billion.”
Upon hearing this, Li Shaoan immediately understood that the ship had to be built, and as soon as possible. After all, he would enter this industry sooner or later.
And he is not worried about money at all because he has made preparations to go to the Indian temple to worship money after the New Year.
Also, because he had been going out to sea to Tung Ping Chau frequently in the past two months, he discovered a fishing village consisting of three surnames when he passed by an island a few days ago.
He didn't notice it before, but as his magic power became more profound, he could see the yin energy without opening his eyes specially, and then he realized that this fishing village was simply filled with yin energy.
Secretly following the source, he found a stone lock in the shape of a Tai Chi. Ang knew that his fortune was about to come, and because the Chinese New Year was only a few days away, he thought of taking the treasure after the New Year.
Now that the money issue has been resolved, Li Shaoan began to speak:
After the new year, I will give you gold worth at least 1.5 billion US dollars, and you can use it as collateral in major banks. We need to build this ship, and we need to build it as soon as possible, because I am very optimistic about the world economy, and this prosperity cycle will last at least ten years.
We will mobilize all our relationships, including those in Europe. We will build at least five million tons of new ships within three years. Remember, we don't want bulk carriers, we only want container ships.
Also, contact the Hong Kong government. Since we are doing business in Hong Kong, we have to take care of the British shipbuilding companies. It may be a bit expensive, but we can regard it as protection money.
Second-hand ships are mostly bulk carriers, but we also want to buy a million tons of shipping capacity because it can help us transport other items. "
The boss has a way to solve the funding problem of shipbuilding, and Tornado is very happy. After all, outsourcing the transportation to the shipping king will reduce their profits a lot.
Thinking about the huge amount of funds needed in such a short period of time, Li Shaoan felt a bit of a headache for a moment.
Think carefully about the movies you have watched in your previous life. Are there any treasures in these movies that can be obtained in a short period of time?
Well, "Project Condor" is one such movie. Although the story of the movie takes place in the late 1980s, the golden treasure in it has always been there.
Although I don’t know whether the story line of this movie has been integrated into the Hong Kong variety show universe, it is not difficult to find after all, so you can try to look for it.
The temple of the third brother’s family?
Thinking of this, Li Shaoan suddenly became energetic.
The third brother's family has a lot of gold. He got a promotion after the New Year, so he went to take a look. Anyway, Tornado and Azan took good care of the walled city, so he didn't need to say much.
He is also relieved that new things have been introduced into commercial companies and factories.
As for the police station, he had Wong Bing-yao, who could become chief superintendent in the future, to help look after it, and with Li Shu-tang, Dong Piao and Lin Feng around, he was even less worried.
Think about what else there is.
Nicholas Zhao Si?
Regarding the movie "National Treasure" he made.
The gold and antiques in the Trinity Church alone are worth more than 2 billion US dollars.
After all, the world's decision-making power is now in the hands of European and American countries. The prices of their antiques are not high, which is not worthy of their value.
Not to mention the golden city that Zhao Si found in the end.
If the Golden City is really made entirely of gold, the amount of gold in it is estimated to be more than 100,000 tons.
Thinking of the movies made by Europeans and Americans, Li Shaoan became even more excited. If even only a small part of those movies conformed to this cosmic worldview, then that would definitely be a lot of gold.
Not to mention anything else, since this Hong Kong variety show exists under magic, then the movie "The Mummy" will probably exist as well.
There is a lot of gold in the City of the Dead, estimated to be more than tens of thousands of tons.
As Li Shaoan thought about it, his thoughts wandered further and further away, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.
