The Wealth Empire Crossing the Hong Kong

Chapter 482 Special Transport Ship

On the next morning, Li Jianhui went to Huangpu Shipping Group on purpose. The cooperation between Huangpu Trading Group and Eastern Europe has gradually developed, and the demand for shipping is also increasing. In addition, because of the trade of oil and natural gas with Eastern Europe, special ships are also required. , and Huangpu Shipping is relatively lacking in this regard.

"Li Sheng, currently our shipping group's ships are mainly bulk carriers and container ships. There are only two crude oil carriers with a single cargo capacity of 35 barrels and one LNG carrier with a load capacity of [-] cubic meters.

At present, our Huangpu Shipyard is only building bulk carriers and container ships for the time being, and has no experience in building crude oil tankers and LNG ships.

Especially for LNG ships, the requirements for technology are quite high, and only a few shipyards in the world can build them. If we need to increase ships in this area, we can only order them from outside in a short time. "

Li Jianhui, who has the memory of his previous life, also knows some information about ships. Decades later, Japan, South Korea and the North are competing for ship construction orders around the world, especially crude oil tankers and LNG ships.

Although he knows that the investment in building crude oil tankers and LNG tankers will be huge, and it is hard to say whether there will be returns, Li Jianhui still hopes that Huangpu Shipyard can have the technology and experience in this field.

Now the global shipbuilding market is mainly dominated by Japan, especially in the Asian market, where Korean shipyards have not been able to get on the table.

Hong Kong's major shipping companies, 70% of the ships come from several major shipyards in Japan, especially the Yokosuka Shipyard under the Sumitomo Foundation, which is quite strong. Currently, the world's largest freighter, the Sea Giant, comes from this company .

It's a pity that the Giant of the Sea was not born at the right time, and just after it was delivered to OOCL, it ushered in the cold winter of global shipping.

Although due to the rapid development of Huangpu Trading Group, Huangpu Shipping Group has plans to add crude oil carriers to its subsidiaries, Li Jianhui and the group's senior management have no intention of taking over the Sea Giant.

This giant ship is famous enough, and its carrying capacity also ranks first in terms of crude oil tankers, but because it is too huge, many canals and straits cannot pass through, and ports cannot be docked, especially this time, crude oil is mainly transported in the Black Sea. Through multiple straits and canals, returning to Xinshan and Taichung, this aspect is obviously not suitable for too large crude oil tankers.

"Fengyun, the shipping market is relatively sluggish at present, and many shipping companies have plans to sell their ships. You here will come up with a plan as soon as possible based on the shipping needs of our Donghuahui's industries.

As for funds, since Huangpu Shipping Group is a listed company, I can't directly inject capital into it. After the plan is completed, you can directly seek loans from the four major banks of Defeng, Youlian, Jiahua, and Xingchuang. "

After thinking about the situation of shipping companies like Xiangjiang, Li Jianhui then told Lin Fengyun to give priority to buying ships from Xiangjiang shipping companies when the price is right, so as to reduce the burden on these companies.

As for directing his business to these shipping companies, Li Jianhui is not that great yet. With the establishment of the two major groups of Donghua Petrochemical and Nanhua Petrochemical, and the opening of the Baodao, Xiangjiang, and Malay markets, the future for oil and natural gas The transportation demand will be very large, this will be a long-term business, how could Li Jianhui give it up to outsiders.

Even if the deal with the Warsaw Pact member states goes bad, Li Jianhui will buy oil and natural gas from other countries, and the purchase of these two types of ships will not rust in the port.

In terms of shipbuilding, Li Jianhui also put forward a request that while continuing to increase his own technology and construction experience in bulk ships and container ships, he should also increase technical reserves for crude oil carriers and LNG manufacturing.

At the same time, Huangpu Shipping is required to inspect Taichung and Kaohsiung in the near future, and establish a large shipyard, the main direction of which is to develop and manufacture crude oil carriers and LNG.

As for Xiangjiang Whampoa (Tsing Yi) Shipyard, the center of gravity remains unchanged, and it still mainly develops and manufactures bulk ships and container ships.

As the president of Huangpu Shipping Group, Lin Fengyun was very happy to hear this. After this time, the strength of the group will increase a lot.

As a member of the Xinjian Department, Lin Fengyun has been quite depressed these years. Huangpu Shipping Group is one of the earliest ten groups in the Xinjian Department. The first president was concurrently held by Whampoa Holdings Clay Johnson. After surfacing for major adjustments, Lin Fengyun has been serving as the president of the group.

In the past few years, with the continuous increase of Xinjian Group companies, Huangpu Shipping Group's position in Xinjian Group has slipped again and again. Now let alone the top ten, the top [-] cannot enter.

The market value of Huihong Group, which was once equal to it, has reached more than 1600 billion Hong Kong dollars, while Huangpu Shipping Group is now only more than [-] billion.

Its group president Toru Iwatani is now the vice chairman of the board of directors of Huaying Holdings Group and the executive vice president, while Lin Fengyun is now the vice president of the board of directors of Huangpu Holdings Group.

And Lin Fengyun knows very well that if it weren't for Toru Iwatani's extremely high talent in game development, with the achievements of Huihong Group, Toru Iwatani might have entered the executive team of the Xinjian Department long ago.

Lin Fengyun understands that if he has been the president of Huangpu Shipping Group, there is no possibility of joining the executive team. As far as Huangpu Holdings is concerned, not to mention the current executive vice president of the group, Niu Bijian, even Chen Huiya of Jinhong Jewelry. Front.

In order to gain Li Jianhui's attention and affirmation, Lin Fengyun is going to do a big job this time, especially on the newly built shipyard.

The high-level executives of the Xinjian Department all know Li Jianhui's ambitions, and he is not afraid that his plan will be too big to be overwhelmed. This time, he will take advantage of the opportunity of the British economic downturn to directly win a top private shipyard.

He even planned to find Zhou Pengfei as a matchmaker. If necessary, Huangpu Shipping Group, Lanfeng Holdings or Defeng Bank could jointly control the holdings.

As long as a top shipyard is won, technology and experience will no longer be a problem, and several major shipyards under Huangpu Holdings will also be able to expand on a large scale again.

H&W Shipyard, this is a shipyard that Lin Fengyun has been staring at. At present, many technicians and technicians in Huangpu Shipping Company come from this shipyard.

It was nationalized by the British government in 1977. Due to the influence of the global shipping market, the current development is not satisfactory, and the policy of the Iron Lady is large-scale privatization, which made Lin Fengyun see an opportunity.

It just so happened that Li Jianhui came to the group and had expansion plans, how could Lin Fengyun let go of such a good opportunity.

After the meeting, Lin Fengyun specially made a separate report to Li Jianhui, and introduced the general situation of H&W Shipyard to Li Jianhui.

"Fengyun, I understand your eagerness for the development of the group, but you also said that this shipyard is not only involved in the construction of civilian ships, but also the construction of British warships. We have little hope of winning this shipyard. , even if it involves the Defeng Bank and the nobles behind it."

"Li Sheng, I still hope to give it a try. If it succeeds, it will be a qualitative leap for our Huangpu Shipping Company.

Even if we can't buy it, we can try to get the construction technology of civilian ships from this shipyard. "

Li Jianhui did not discourage Lin Fengyun's enthusiasm, and asked him to try to communicate with the shipyard, and at the same time asked Zhou Pengfei to assist.
