Chapter 234 The Four Internationally Famous Shipping Giants!

Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa.

Study room on the third floor.

Meris, Ma Shimin, Wei Li, Wei Peter, Bao Fuda, Kaila, Tang Shilian, Lin Xiuzhi, had dinner together in Yang's villa.

They knew that the boss went to Yanjing for more than half a month to inspect, but they didn't know when the boss would come back.

Now, Lin Xiuzhi called them in advance to inform them that they had come to the mid-level villa in Repulse Bay.

Now, among these people, they are all the most important members of the imperial group.

"Boss, are you going to the mainland this time?" Ma Shimin asked curiously.

This time, Yang Ming and more than 30 other Chinese-funded representatives from Xiangjiang were invited back to Yanjing to participate in the National Day Ceremony, which was reported by newspapers one after another.

Yang Ming was the most special one, staying in Yanjing for more than half a month.

They also only learned from the newspapers that Mr. Yang sent a large amount of money to the country, which is the news about donating 1 million Hong Kong dollars to the country as a student fund every year.

"I went to Yanjing this time and returned with a full reward. In the future, I will earn more and more."

Return with a rewarding experience?

More and more income in the future?

I'm afraid Lin Xiuzhi, who followed Yang Ming to Yanjing for so long, wouldn't be able to tell.

This time Yang Ming asked them to come over, not to talk about these things.

The purpose of Yang Ming's call this time.

That is the establishment of the first shipping group.

"I'm calling you here this time, it's about the establishment of the First Shipping Group under the Imperial Group."

First Shipping Group?

Except for Meris, Ma Shimin and the others were a little surprised.

In Xiangjiang, even, no one in the world knows that Bao Yugang is the world's shipping king.

Before the 50s, Xiangjiang's shipping was almost completely controlled by foreign businessmen headed by British-funded Swire Pacific and Jardine Matheson.

At that time, Chinese merchants only had dozens of small freight ships.

After the 50s.

Bao Yu just started global shipping, and started to develop rapidly with long-term leased shipping ships to Dongyang.

He even persuaded Sang Dashi, who was the director of the accounting department of Huifeng Bank at that time, to break the precept of Huifeng Bank not to lend to shipping companies and obtain loans.

With the financial support of Huifeng Bank, global shipping has developed faster.

In the early 60s, Sanders began to work as the head of the Huifeng Bank. At that time, the Huifeng Bank had already decided to support a group of local Chinese businessmen. Because of the cooperation with Bao Yugang in the 50s, Sandas selected Bao Yugang and began to vigorously Support Bao Yugang's global shipping.

In the 60s, Bao Yugang's global shipping developed more rapidly, and his maritime kingdom began to see its scale.

It was also at that time that Huifeng Bank and Global Shipping respectively formed shipping companies such as Global Shipping Bermuda Company and Global Shipping Bahamas Shipping Company through cross-investment.

In 1973, Bao Yugang owned 57 large ships with a total tonnage of 960 million tons. Even the total tonnage of the ships of the country M country Luwei and the Greek ship king Onassis and Bao Yugang’s global shipping gross tonnage were getting smaller and smaller. bigger.

Since 1957, in addition to Global Shipping becoming the head office of the Pao Group, more than 200 companies have been registered in seaside cities around the world.

Among them, the most famous ones are Global Bahamas Shipping, Global Shipping Investment, Global Wheelock Shipping, Asian Shipping Industry, and Longfeng International.

Among them, Longfeng International was originally a subsidiary of Wheelock & Company. In the 60s, Bao Yugang took control and held 20% of the shares in the Asian shipping industry.

Now this company has 16 large ships with a deadweight of 166 million tons.

Historically, Bao Yugang successfully acquired Wharf through Longfeng International.

The fastest growing part of Global Shipping is the Asian shipping industry. It was established in 1941 and listed in 1948. Bao Yugang has been focusing on training it.

After gaining control in the 60s, it now has 38 large ships, from 70 tons in the early 39s to 496 million tons now.

In 1978, Bao Yugang's shipping kingdom was already at its peak, with a total tonnage of more than 2000 million tons, and he was the world's well-deserved world shipping king.

In Xiangjiang.

Except Bao Yugang.

Another ship king who has squeezed into the world class is Dong Haoyun.

Dong Haoyun started to get in touch with the shipping industry in the 30s and 40s. In the [-]s, he established China Shipping Trust Company in Xiangjiang.
During the 40s and 50s, due to the complicated international environment, Dong Haoyun's shipping industry was hit hard, but he survived in the end.

After the 60s, it began to develop vigorously. At that time, it already owned the largest ship in Asia, with a capacity of more than [-] tons.

After the 70s, Dong Haoyun's OOCL Container Group was successfully listed, and began to attribute other fleets and subsidiaries to OOCL.

Among them, in 1980, OOCL even spent huge sums of money to acquire Funasis Shipping Company, the largest shipping group in country Y. The total tonnage soared from hundreds of thousands of tons to 120 million tons, making it the largest family of OOCL. company.

Except for this one, in 1980, the combined tonnage of all the companies under its umbrella had reached 1100 million tons.

Its shipping industry is also spread all over the world.

Yang Ming knew that Dong Haoyun was very important to Xiangjiang, and even to the global shipping industry.

Historically, Dong Haoyun, like Wheelock & Co. Taipan Maseng, put all his eggs in one basket and invested a lot of money to expand his own shipping group, but later encountered a big crisis.

Among them, in history, Wheelock & Co. was swallowed up by the Bao Yugang family.

As for Dong Haoyun, after handing over OOCL to his eldest son, he owed more than 200 billion Hong Kong dollars in foreign debts before his death.

Moreover, Yang Ming knew that Dong Haoyun was not most famous for his shipping company, but for his eldest son.

When Yang Ming attended the National Day ceremony in Yanjing, Dong Haoyun also visited Yang Ming in person.

Yang Ming may have a better feeling for Dong Haoyun than Bao Yugang.

Although Dong Haoyun is usually relatively low-key and only focuses on the shipping industry, he is the second among the four major Chinese shipping giants in the Xiangjiang shipping industry, and he is also the world's top ten shipping kings.

Except for these two.

Next is Xiangjiang's third largest Chinese shipping group.

Huaguang Shipping!

The founder of Huaguang Shipping was Zhao Congyan, who established Huaguang Shipping Company in the 40s. Considering his own lack of ability, he sent his eldest son Zhao Shipeng to study at the Shipbuilding University in Country Y. The Rand Brothers Finance Company and Lloyd's Surveying Company conducted internships and worked, which laid the foundation for returning to Xiangjiang to manage Huaguang Shipping Industry.

Back in Xiangjiang in the 60s, he began to take over Huaguang Shipping from his father.

At that time, Huaguang Shipping only had four ships.

One of the most successful places for Zhao's shipping industry and Zhao Shipeng was in the early 60s, when the world's shipping industry was in a downturn, and a large number of old ships in Europe were dumped in major ports.

There are more than 300 ships in the port of Aden.

At that time, only US$6 was needed to purchase a [-]-ton ship, of which US$[-] could be borrowed from a bank.

After Zhao Congyan and his son heard the news, they immediately felt that this was a good opportunity. Zhao Shipeng immediately went to Greece and the port of Aden to investigate without stopping, and found that the news they got was true.

They began to buy a large number of those old ships at the port of Aden, some of which were incorporated into the Zhao family's Huaguang Shipping Industry, and some were directly dismantled and sold as scrap iron, making the Zhao family a fortune.

In the early 60s, the famous Lloyd's Insurance Company in country Y announced that it would greatly increase the insurance premiums for old ships' cargo, and it was Dongyang who responded the most at that time.

At that time, Toyo Shipyards and the shipbuilding industry accounted for half of the global market.

In order to maintain its own shipbuilding market, Dongyang encourages all Dongyang buyers around the world to purchase new ships, only need to pay 5% down payment, and the remaining [-]% can be borrowed from Dongyang banks with an annual interest rate of [-]%.

At that time, Bao Yugang and Dong Haoyun of Xiangjiang began to switch from operating old ships to ordering new ships. In 1965, Zhao Congyan’s fourth son, Zhao Shiguang, went to Dongyang to order new ships on behalf of Huaguang Shipping Industry. 6 ships, however, further enhance the development of Huaguang shipping industry.

After the 70s, Huaguang seized the opportunity and cooperated with Hengfei Bank to list its New World Shipping Industry. After raising 1.4 million Hong Kong dollars, Huaguang Shipping Industry also began to go public, and Huaguang Real Estate also went public. .

The three companies went public and raised a total of 8 million Hong Kong dollars.

With these funds, the Zhao family began to purchase more ships around the world, including a 22.7-ton supertanker.

In 1974, Huaguang Shipping took advantage of the low tide of the stock market at that time to acquire the New Century Shipping Industry by means of a share swap. The fleet also increased to 29 ships, with a deadweight of more than 108 million tons.

Historically, in the 80s, Huaguang Shipping continued to expand its scale, increasing to 70 large ships with a deadweight of more than 500 million tons, becoming the third largest shipping company in Xiangjiang.

In addition to these three major Chinese shipping companies.

There is also Cao's Wanbang Shipping.

Cao Wenjing was born in a shipping family by the Huangpu River in Shencheng in the 20s.

In 1949, all the Cao family immigrated from Shencheng to Xiangjiang. Cao Wenjing began to rent small ships to transport goods back and forth between Xiangjiang and Weihaiwei, Dongyang and other routes.

In the 50s, affected by the international environment, Cao Wenjing saw the opportunity and began to buy old ships to form the Wanbang fleet.

When I was in Toyo, I competed with Toyo's shipping companies for shipping business, and accumulated a lot of capital and reputation in Xiangjiang, Toyo, and even the world.

Next, he began to phase out the old ships and replace them with a modern fleet.

In 1972, Cao Wenjing officially registered Wanbang Shipping Investment Company, which was successfully listed in Xiangjiang in October of the same year.

In the mid-70s, it already had 10 large ships with a load capacity of more than 33.2 tons.

However, at the end of the 70s and the beginning of the 80s, he and Bao Yugang predicted that the global shipping industry would be hit hard, and he gradually gave up the shipping industry.

However, it has exceeded 90 million tons in the 157s in history.

In addition, Wanbang Group is involved in various industries.

Even, the business is all over Southeast Asia.

In addition to the most famous of these four Chinese-owned shipping companies, Xiangjiang has been known as the four giants of Xiangjiang Chinese-owned shipping companies in history.

In fact, Xiangjiang still has many other Chinese-funded shipping companies.

For example, Huo Yingdong developed maritime transport in the early days, transporting goods back and forth between China, Xiangjiang, and even Haojiang. Especially in the 50s, when the international economic blockade was imposed on the country, Huo Yingdong was quietly transporting things to the country. It laid a deep foundation for his later relationship with China.

Later, Huo Yingdong has developed the industry into real estate, and basically gave up on shipping.

Except Huo Yingdong.

There is also the Xu Shixun family, a shareholder of Huifeng Bank.

His father, Xu Aizhou, was the first generation of shipping king. Before World War II, he was engaged in shipping and oil business. In the 20s, he transferred Xiangjiang as the base. There are also Zhongjian Building, Asia Bank, Zhongyi Building, Xia Ning Building, and Kwai Chung Container Terminal. After Xu Aizhou passed away in 40, his family business was re-divided. The eldest son Xu Qibo was in charge of the shipping industry, the second son Xu Shifen was in charge of mining, and Xu Shixun was in charge of real estate. .

Except that the Xu family used to be the ship king of Xiangjiang.

The early comprador families, Guo's Wing On Group, and Li Xiaohe's family Li Hysan Group and other Chinese capitals were actually involved in shipping.

The scale of these shipping companies is too small, or they are gradually abandoning these businesses, so they cannot be compared with the four major shipping industries.

In Xiangjiang.

In addition to the four major Chinese shipping groups and other small and medium-sized Chinese shipping companies.

Before that, it was the four major shipping companies in Xiangjiang that really monopolized the shipping industry in Xiangjiang.

Including Jardine Shipping, Wheelock Shipping, even Swire Shipping, Hutchison Shipping, and Wharf Shipping.

These companies, except when it comes to real estate and other industries, if not for the rise of Chinese shipping giants such as Bao Yugang and Dong Haoyun.

It has always been these British foreign firms that have monopolized the shipping between Xiangjiang and the global sea.

Among them, the total deadweight tonnage of Wheelock & Co. is nearly 140 million tons.

Jardine Shipping, Hutchison Shipping, Swire Shipping, and Wharf Shipping are about the same size as Wheelock.

It is precisely because of this that the current British-funded foreign companies, even if Jardine Land and Hutchison Whampoa have not been acquired by the Imperial Group, their shipping is really far behind Bao Yugang's global shipping and Asian shipping. up.

Especially Bao Yugang's two major shipping groups.

One is the No. 1000 in Xiangjiang, with a total tonnage of more than [-] million tons of global shipping.

One is the second in Xiangjiang, with a total tonnage of nearly 500 million tons in Asia.
