Chapter 239 The Overreaction of the Bao Family Father-in-Law and Son-in-Law!

Since Bao Yugang entered the shipping industry, he has experienced ups and downs.

He has fought against the international environment, fought against the international shipping industry, fought against British-owned shipping in Hong Kong, fought against Huifeng Bank, and fought against Toyo's shipbuilding companies.

Each time, he ended up winning.

It was during these battles in the shipping industry that he defeated most of his opponents and became the world's shipping king.

Since the seventies.

There is no rival in the global shipping industry.

Now that Mr. Yang of Imperial Group suddenly announced his entry into the global shipping industry, he did not react as strongly as his second son-in-law Wu Guangzhen.

Mr. Yang of the Imperial Group did not start from the basics, but started from the British-owned foreign companies it originally acquired.

He has fought against these British-owned shipping industries over the years, but they all failed in the end.

"Father." Wu Guangzhen said.

He was really scared.

Historically, when Bao Yugang died of cancer, his eldest son-in-law Su Yiwen was successfully crowned and obtained the inheritance rights of Global Shipping.

Why Su Yanwen?

In fact, Bao Yugang also considered a lot.

Including Su Yanwen himself is a white man and a Westerner. Su Yanwen has a closer relationship with Europe and the United States. If he takes over Global Shipping, in Bao Yugang's view, he will be able to take Global Shipping further.

As for Wu Guangzhen, he was his favorite son-in-law. Historically, Bao Yugang successively swallowed up Wharf and Wheelock.

Wharf and Wheelock owned a large amount of reserve land in Hong Kong. When the Pao family was divided into four, they also handed over all land properties, such as Wharf and Wheelock, to Wu Guangzhen. .

I have to say that Bao Yugang's classification was actually very appropriate at that time.

Later, Wu Guangzhen passed Wheelock Real Estate and Wharf Real Estate, and the annual rent alone was as high as more than 10 billion, no less than Su Yiwen, who inherited Bao Yugang Global Shipping.

But that's in history.

Now Pao Yugang has neither been able to acquire Wharf nor swallowed up Wheelock & Company.

In Wu Guangzhen's view, the biggest industry of the Bao Yugang family is global shipping and Asian shipping.

If the Bao Yugang family does not have these, then there will be nothing.

This is their foundation, their foundation!

Without Wharf or Wheelock, Wu Guangzhen and Su Yuwen were the biggest competitors within the Bao Yugang family. Both parties hoped to become the new heirs and the new world ship a hundred years after their father-in-law Bao Yugang. king.

Historically, it's quite funny.

At the end of the 1970s, Bao Yugang proposed a plan to abandon the boat and land.

This plan.

Wu Guangzhen supported Bao Yugang because he knew that Bao Yugang was planning to acquire Wharf and later Wheelock & Company.

At that time, Su Yanwen was strongly opposed. He believed that the Bao Yugang family should continue to develop and expand their advantages in the global shipping industry.

In the end, the abandoned boat landing plan supported by Wu Guangzhen won.

Because they successfully swallowed up Wharf and Wheelock, Wu Guangzhen and Pao Yugang still won very well.

Now the Bao Yugang family only has hundreds of subsidiaries under Global Shipping and Asia Shipping. These are the foundation of their Bao Yugang family.

Wu Guangzhen knew that he absolutely could not lose it.

If Mr. Yang of the Imperial Group replaces Bao Yugang and becomes the world's new shipping king, won't his father and his hopes be hit again?

At this moment, Wu Guangzhen was really afraid of Mr. Yang.

Bao Yugang remained calm all the time.

"Go and call Su Yiwen."

"Yes, father."

The third son-in-law, Shinichiro Watari, and the fourth son-in-law, Zheng Weimai, would not be involved in such a thing even if they were in Xiangjiang.

Today, the two sons-in-law are Bao Yugang's most important helpers and his right-hand men.

Wu Guangzhen went to Su Yiwen's office door and knocked on the door.

"Light vibration?"

"Brother-in-law, father asked you to come over."

Su Yiwen is a member of a wealthy Austrian family.

In the 1960s, she married Bao Yugang's eldest daughter Bao Pingqing. Later, she arrived in Hong Kong in 1970 and served as the first vice president of Global Shipping and Asia Shipping Co., Ltd.

He is also conscientious in the Bao Yugang family's global shipping business and manages the group completely as his own company.

He is usually a serious person, and he also knows that his father-in-law Bao Yugang does not like him as a white man very much.

He still tried his best to show his abilities and talents in front of Bao Yugang, and he was recognized by Bao Yugang.

He is not usually as close to Bao Yugang as Wu Guangzhen. He basically stays in Xiangjiang and his family lives in Bao's house in Deep Water Bay.

He also just learned from a journalist friend that Mr. Yang of the Imperial Group had integrated the shipping industry of its subsidiaries into the First Shipping Group.

He was instinctively nervous about the news.

As for other people, he really wasn't worried.

Mr. Yang is not simple. Judging from the fact that he has swallowed up Wharf, Hutchison Whampoa, and even Jardine Land, this Mr. Yang is the most powerful Chinese-funded boss in Hong Kong.

"Brother-in-law, what do you think of Mr. Yang's entry into the shipping industry?" Wu Guangzhen asked.

The two are competitors. As long as Bao Yugang is still there, they will have no chance to stand out and fight to the death. On the surface, the relationship between the two is still very good.

"Guang Zhen, Mr. Yang is a very powerful opponent. You and I are no match for him. Let's see what father has arranged?"

Su Yanwen said helplessly.

Wu Guangzhen also nodded.

The two brothers-in-law came to Bao Yugang's chairman's office.

The two saw their father-in-law Bao Yugang standing at the window looking outside.

They knew that their father-in-law did not smoke and were opposed to smoking.

Although smoking can make people calm down, the two of them saw that their father-in-law was so opposed to smoking, so they didn't dare to smoke, and they didn't even dare to touch a cigar.

"Father."

Su Yanwen and Wu Guangzhen said hello respectively.

"Close the door."

The door to the chairman's office was closed.

There are only three of them here now.

"You also know about the Imperial Group's integration of the internal shipping industry and the establishment of the First Shipping Group. If you have any ideas, feel free to say so."

"Father, I still say the same thing. The shipping industry is the foundation of our Bao family. If we lose the shipping industry, there will be nothing." Wu Guangzhen said.

"Father, I think we should continue to maintain our advantage in total deadweight tonnage in the global shipping industry."

Su Yiwen was very opposed to the abandoning boat landing plan proposed by Bao Yugang at the beginning of the year.

They are a sea kingdom, why should they abandon the sea and land?

For those on land, he simply felt it was not suitable and did not approve of it.

On the contrary, as long as they continue to maintain the advantage of their maritime kingdom, they will be the richest people in Hong Kong and even the world.

Instead of giving up your own advantages when you see others developing well on land.

Bao Yugang nodded.

Su Yanwen continued: "Father, at the beginning of the year, I was very opposed to your plan to abandon the ship and land on it. You wanted to sell part of the ship to exchange funds for purchasing properties on land in Xiangjiang. Now, Mr. Yang of the Imperial Group is strong After entering the global shipping industry, I am even more opposed to this plan. In this aspect of the global shipping industry, we cannot lose. If we lose, all your hard work over the past two decades will be in vain.”

Su Yanwen said again.

Speaking of the plan to abandon the ship and land on it, he was really opposed to it.

At the beginning of the year, both Bao Yugang and Wu Guangzhen were very supportive. What could he do if he opposed it alone?

Bao Yugang was the final decision-maker.

However, now that the Imperial Group has established First Shipping and officially entered the global shipping industry, he feels that this may not be a bad thing.

Over the years, Bao Yugang has monopolized most of the shipping industry market. In this market, Bao Yugang has no rivals that he can beat. Over time, he has not taken other opponents seriously.

Su Yanwen felt that the intervention of the Imperial Group might have a great effect.

I heard Su Yanwen mention the plan to abandon the boat and land.

The expressions of Bao Yugang and Wu Guangzhen changed.

Is this what these white people do, they never care about whether others are embarrassed when they say something?

"Yan Wen, at the beginning of the year, the environment was very different from now. At that time, the Imperial Group had just swallowed up Wharf. Who would have thought that the Imperial Group would swallow up Hutchison Whampoa and even Jardine Matheson Land so quickly."

Bao Yugang knew.

When Mr. Yang swallowed up Wharf, Hutchison Whampoa, and Jardine Land, the situation for British and Chinese capital in Hong Kong was very different.

Under such circumstances, Bao Yugang still wanted to abandon the boat and land, but he couldn't find a suitable place to land!

The Wharf is gone.

Hutchison Whampoa is gone.

As for Jardine Land, he never dared to think about it.

If a suitable landing place is not found, then the abandonment of the boat landing plan will no longer be possible.

"Father, I still think that way. We must maintain our Bao family's advantage in the global shipping industry. Not only can we not abandon the ship and land, we must also increase investment in large ships. We must purchase more large ships from Toyo shipyards. , our total deadweight tonnage will increase from more than 10 million tons to more than 20 million tons, or even 30 million tons. Not surprisingly, the Imperial Group will definitely compete with us in the global shipping industry. Including price competition, if we lose by then, the consequences will be disastrous, even worse than the acquisition of the Yosek family's Jardine Land by the Imperial Group."

Wu Guangzhen wasn't that scared just now, but now that he heard his eldest brother-in-law say that, he was really worried.

"Father, I am also opposed to the plan to abandon the ship and land. I support my elder brother-in-law's statement and hope to continue to expand our advantages in the global shipping industry. Not only global shipping, but also Asian shipping, we must become the first and second largest shipping group in the world. ”
