Hong Kong Movies: The Boss's Global Empire

Huang Shitong couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Mr. Lu, you must be the big winner in Hong Kong Island!"

"Uncle Tong, when the time comes, you and Lawyer Luo will come forward to oversee the reorganization of Wheelock on my behalf."

"I'll let President Luo Deyong be in charge of the specific account audit."

Lu Wendong heard the system prompt as soon as he went downstairs. Ding!

Tip: It is detected that the host has successfully acquired Wheelock, one of the four major trading companies through his own efforts. The rewards are as follows.

…… ………

提示：恭喜宿主获得1年寿命、3个属性点、您的金刚护体神功等级提升1级，当前LV2! 提示：您获得了1万积分!

Tip: Your temple divination time has been reduced by 10 minutes. Currently, it is 1 hour and 50 minutes! Tip: Activate the new mission and defeat the foreign company!

Long-term mission: Defeat the foreign banks. Please acquire as many as possible of them in Hong Kong Island, including but not limited to HSBC, Swire, and Jardine Matheson. Lu Wendong's mouth twitched. He hadn't even finished dealing with the Kadoorie family, and the system had already popped up another challenge: Defeat the foreign banks? HSBC, Swire, and Jardine Matheson...

None of them is easy to deal with.

Lu Wendong could only sigh that the road ahead was long and he still needed to work hard!

Tip: You have been given an opportunity to expand a production line. You can choose to spend 1 points to expand any production line. Is there such a good thing?

Lu Wendong chose to expand the IV bag without hesitation.

Currently, among all the factories under Mr. Lu, IV bags have the most stable and popular sales.

Thirteenth Sister and the others had long been clamoring for an expansion, but they had always been evaded by Lu, claiming it wasn't suitable at the moment. Now that the system had given him an opportunity, he certainly couldn't miss it!

Tip: 1 points have been deducted, and the IV production line has been successfully promoted. Note: The host has deceived the production workers.

Lu Wendong was very happy. This system was good and very considerate.

He immediately checked the introduction of the new LV production line. It was simple: the current monthly production capacity was 10 pieces!

Binggou, Lu Wendong couldn't help but snap his fingers. "Yunyun."

Currently, the main force responsible for helping Lu Wendong sell IV are Jiang Yunyun, Han Bin, Shisanmei, etc.

Han Bin and the others were easy to talk to, and Jiang Yunyun was already preparing to go to Taiwan to help Lu Wendong set up Friendship Milk Tea. Lu Wendong smiled and said, "I have good news to tell you."

Jiang Yunyun asked happily, "Brother Dong, are you coming to see me off?"

Lu Wendong was stunned. He said vaguely, "Well, that's it."

"We have successfully expanded the production capacity of our LV production line. Starting next month, our monthly production capacity will reach 10 pieces." "Wow!"

Jiang Yunyun was a little disappointed at first, but after hearing what Lu Wendong said, she immediately said happily: "Brother Dong, your bags are of high quality and are very popular in the market." "Since you have so many, then give me some more."

"How much can you eat?" "—half!"

Lu Wendong asked, "Have you opened up the East Sea line?"

Jiang Yunyun put her hand on her forehead and said, "Brother Dong, how do you know everything?"

Frog Island has close ties with the East. Take the Frog Island underworld, for example, which is deeply influenced by the East. Lu Wendong laughed and said, "Frog Island's market capacity is limited, and you want to eat so much...

"Looking around, it's the East."

Jiang Yunyun smiled and said, "I can't hide anything from you, Brother Dong, how about that?"

Lu Wendong pondered. The local market in Hong Kong Island was limited, with a maximum of 3. Giving Jiang Yunyun a few more wouldn't be a problem. "OK!"

Lu Wendong said cheerfully, "Deliveries will begin next month." He then asked, "When are you leaving?"

Jiang Yunyun pursed her lips: "I'm already waiting for the plane."

She felt a little disappointed, but soon cheered up.

Lu Wendong looked at his watch. It was too late. He had no interest in any drama of driving a car to send a beautiful woman away. He said calmly, "Next time you return to Hong Kong, I will pick you up."

How could Lu Wendong have time for love affairs?

Just like when he was with Wang Meigui, if it works, it works, if it doesn't, forget it. Of course, Lu Wendong has the capital to directly...

After confirming the LV bag with Jiang Yunyun, Lu Wendong immediately contacted Shisanmei to confirm the sales. Then, Lu Wendong immediately took the information and went to find the bag king!

The king of ship chartering, the leader of the Shanghai faction in Hong Kong Island.

He was in his 50s, his eyes were dull and lifeless, a sign of exhaustion. Even so, Lu Wendong would never underestimate the charter king.

This is because this owner has been the world's number one shipping king for many years!

At its peak, its fleet tonnage was unrivaled, more than double that of the next largest, making it the undisputed king of shipping. Think about it: the ocean is vast, and it not only experiences natural disasters like waves and hurricanes, but also man-made disasters like pirates.

Just like the Donghuang, the Las Vegas of the sea that Lu Wendong was planning to open, he prepared 500 death squads and equipped them with weapons. However, this fleet of Bao Wang had been drifting on the sea for decades!

How could the power behind such a person be clearly seen from the surface? "Mr. Shipping King."

Lu Wendong bowed and said, "I, the younger generation, Lu Wendong, have come uninvited. Sorry for the intrusion." The charter king raised his cloudy eyes and smiled, "The young are indeed formidable." "You acquired Wheelock, right?"

The only people who knew about Wheelock's acquisition were the widows of the Zhang family, Huang Shitong, and a few others. Wheelock hadn't yet been reorganized, but the charter king already knew!

"The charter king is indeed well-informed." "That's right, about what happened earlier."

"So I came to see the shipping king first."

Charter King and Wheelock entered the Hong Kong shipping industry almost at the same time.

The difference was that the charter king was a newcomer, while the Madden family of Wheelock had already been operating a fleet in Europe before World War II. Back then, the charter king even tried to buy a used ship from Madden, only to be ridiculed by him.

Later, Baochuan Wang, through methods such as using ships to support their operations and long-term leasing, quickly became a shipping tycoon, earning the admiration of Lao Ma Deng, and the two began a relationship that continues to this day. Baochuan Wang's understanding of Wheelock is far more profound than Lu Wendong's.

“The young are to be feared, indeed the young are to be feared.”

After the charter boat king said it twice, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"I read in the newspaper that you're involved in an international cruise business. One ship is worth 60 billion? Impressive."

Lu Wendong bowed and said, "With Baochuan Wang here, I'm just wielding an axe in front of Lu Ban, not worth mentioning." When it comes to using ships to support ships, and using loans to support loans, who in the shipping industry can compare to Baochuan Wang?

Back then, no bank would lend money to the shipping industry!

It was the charter boat king who first set this precedent! "Hahahaha."

The charter boat owner smiled heartily: "Young man, don't be so modest."

Lu Wendong heard his soft laughter and weak breath, and thought to himself, it seems that this shipping tycoon can't hold on for many more years. "Shipping tycoon."

Lu Wendong said, "I came here this time to ask the shipping king for help." The shipping king looked at Lu Wendong and asked, "Help?"

On the surface, Henderson Land Development is now heavily in debt.

For example, its own debt has reached more than 20 billion, and at the same time, it has ordered two new ships from Denmark for $4 million, which adds up to nearly 50 billion.

However, this amount of money is nothing to the huge Wheelock!

For example, the listed property trust under Wheelock has 10 billion in cash on its books! The shipowner is well aware of this, so he was a little surprised.

Lu Wendong smiled and said, "Wheelock is heavily in debt, so I want to sell some assets to the shipping tycoon."

"Of course, what I meant by '830' is that I hope everyone can barter." "Hahaha."

The charter king couldn't help but laugh again. He understood that this guy said he was selling something, but in fact he was interested in his property. Seeing Lu Wendong standing in front of him with an attitude that was neither humble nor arrogant, and speaking eloquently.

The charter king couldn't help but recall his youth. He had only been in Hong Kong for a short time when he dared to bargain with HSBC's managers and eventually broke the ice by securing bank loans for the shipping industry.

There is a smile in his eyes, but also a sense of vicissitudes. Time is gone and can never be returned.

"What do you like?"

The charter king smiled and said, "Besides land and real estate, what else do you value in my Wharf Holdings?" "I dare not, I dare not."

Lu Wendong bowed and said, "As the shipping magnate knows, my international cruise ship is scheduled to open and welcome passengers next month." "But as for the sailors, I always feel that the recruitment is not ideal."

"So, I want to ask the shipping king to introduce some sailors." "No, that's not right."

The charter king suddenly shook his head: "You have already taken over Wheelock, and its shipping company has many sailors, captains, and first mates. There is no need to go far away." "Yes."

The shipping tycoon suddenly smiled and said, "It's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Great, so you've taken a fancy to my Global Maritime School!" Lu Wendong gave him a thumbs-up, convinced. "The shipping tycoon is the shipping tycoon, and he sees the world clearly."

"Nothing can be hidden from the shipping king!" That's right!

What Lu Wendong has his eye on is the Global Maritime School owned by the charter king!

The charter king had been roaming the seas for decades, and his fleet had never made any mistakes. There was no news of his cargo ships being hijacked by pirates, and there was no news of any of his ships disobeying orders.

How is it possible to do this with ease? There are two reasons.

One is that the charter king has established a global command center in Hong Kong Island, where the movements of each ship are reflected. Another is that all the sailors in the charter king's fleet are graduates of the Global Maritime School he founded.

Before joining a ship, a sailor must spend a year or so at the Global Maritime School, where they learn about maritime affairs, self-defense, and other aspects. When things are fine, they are sailors; when things get tough, they pick up their weapons and become warriors!

Without this skill, how could the charter king's ships travel around the world?

It can even be said that every shipping tycoon at that time was equivalent to a free-flowing small warlord.

Originally, Lu Wendong thought that Wheelock also had a similar maritime school under its name. However, after checking around, he found that Wheelock's sailors were actually recruited from outside, and most of them were foreigners.

Lu Wendong then bowed solemnly and said, "Please help me, Shipping King!" He really needed this Global Maritime School.
