Traversing the courtyard

The next day, Weidong brought Ruan Tao to Taikoo Wharf to inspect the work. Berkeley and Margery accompanied him to inspect the progress of the container terminal. The first batch had already been operating normally, but now the container ships are just beginning to emerge, and most of them are in bulk. The freighter is unloading.

I looked at all the docks, and finally went to the dock. One of the two largest docks is under maintenance. The engine has been dismantled in half, but the other ship has been repaired and is waiting for the owner to pay for the acceptance test. Well, Wei Dong and Ruan Tao looked at each other, this Yinglian [-]-ton bulk carrier fits Wei Dong's requirements very well, so you can try it at night.

If this ship can be copied, then you can buy a [-]-ton ship for further experiments. At this time, there are not many ships with a capacity of more than [-] tons, but the number is not large. Many shipping practitioners are very fond of these giant ships. It is clear that if there is an extra batch of giant ships of more than [-] tons, it is easy to feel that something is wrong.

If the cargo ship is less than [-] tons, there will be no problem. This is the backbone of shipping. There are too many of them. They are built in batches in some shipyards. If they are copied and repainted, no one will I don't care where the boat was obtained.

Coming out of the pier, Ruan Tao said: "It's a pity that it's a bulk carrier. It would be better if it was a container ship."

Wei Dongdao: "Don't worry, we're not waiting for money, it's just that we don't have anything to do recently, so we just need to find a new way to make money."

A new ship costs 3000 to [-] million. Weidong can only copy the old ship for renovation. If he sells it, he won't make much money. At first, he thought about how much money he could make, but it doesn't seem to be much.

Ruan Tao calculated in her mind that the one who can earn hundreds of millions of dollars a year is at best, and if she earns shipping fees, she must have a scale of millions of tons, which is already among the top in the world of shipping.

Said: "It seems that we can't make much money after this calculation?"

Wei Dong thought about it, too, but this matter still needs to be done, and said: "Let's do it first, it is also an attempt, at least copy a few ships to meet our own needs."

With the expansion of the company's scale, the goods sent from Xiangjiang to Los Angeles continue to increase, and many goods returned from Los Angeles are now operated by other shipping companies, at least set up a fleet to transport their own Goods are fine too.

Weidong of this fleet has already made up his mind to sell a part of the shares to Lu Qingsong, and Lu Qingsong will manage the company, which saves a lot of management problems.

Ruan Tao said: "Then let's try it first."

In the middle of the night, Weidong left home and parked his car not far from the pier. After flashing several times, Weidong came to the closed dock. With a thought, the cargo ship more than 100 meters away disappeared in front of his eyes. Weidong hehe With a smile, he also disappeared in place.

After entering the space, Weidong activated the ability to copy again, and soon an identical ship appeared in an adjacent place, using mind control to repaint the name and serial number of the Yinglian, and some private ships All the items were destroyed, and the nameplates of some related equipment were also modified. I hurried out to release the original cargo ship, and then returned to my car to rush back to the Repulse Bay Villa.

As soon as she got into bed, Ruan Tao was awakened, and asked, "Awei, are you ready?"

"Yes, it doesn't take much effort. It seems that no matter how big the boat is, it will be fine."

Ruan Tao asked: "Is the big plane okay?"

Wei Dong laughed and said: "What are you thinking? Even if the large plane is copied, it won't work, and the ground staff can't pass the test. Besides, there are only a few companies that can produce large planes. The source can't be explained. The ship is different. There are hundreds of shipyards around the world, and we have our own docks and maintenance teams, so there is room for operation in the middle.”

"That's right, it's just a ship."

In terms of unit price, the huge ship is similar to the plane, but the maintenance of the plane is more troublesome, and there is a mechanism to track down if something goes wrong. It is not a product that Weidong can copy.

The giant wheel is different, Weidong has his own means to change his face, and no one traces the source, it is more suitable for Weidong to operate in the middle.

Thinking about adding tens of millions of wealth at once is quite a sense of accomplishment.

It took a few days for the Yinglian ship to leave the dock before Wei Dong put the ship he copied on a remote pier at night. The next morning, he asked the people from Taikoo Dockyard to drag it into the dock with a tugboat. Wei Dong sold the ship to Lu Qingsong for 1000 million after repairing it, and kept it for transportation between Xiangjiang and Los Angeles.

Back at the office, Wei Dong ordered Mi Xiaozhou to buy some old ships again, including container ships, oil tankers, and bulk ships.

Mi Xiaozhou asked: "Awei, didn't you sell the entire fleet before? Why are you entering the shipping industry now?"

Wei Dong smiled and said: "What we want to do is to buy old boats and refurbish them for sale. We have our own professional maintenance team, and we have docks and docks. There is no danger of losing money if we buy low and sell high."

This reason is very good. Weidong only needs to copy some ships occasionally to reduce his purchase cost. These purchased ships are backed up once in the space. With the increase of samples, there is no need to copy only one type of ship in the future. .

Mi Xiaozhou also nodded and said: "It is indeed a business. Before, the maintenance department often had no work to do, so at least we can not be idle."

With this experience, the products copied by Weidong are much bolder. In the past, bulk carriers needed manpower to carry the goods one by one. Now that Weidong has a container terminal, the operation is much simpler.

After Ruan Tao received the order, he handed it over to Weidong directly. Weidong directly packed the goods into containers in the warehouse in North Point, recorded them and sent them directly from the pier to all over the world.

Weidong used to do his own business, but now it is different. Even clothing, daily necessities, ironware, furniture, spare parts and other goods that he does not produce are copied directly and sent away in containers.

Ruan Tao will only purchase a small part from the market. In this way, Weidong and Ruan Tao can make hundreds of millions of profits a month through this method. Everything is done without anyone noticing, and the dock is their own. The container ship belongs to Lu Qingsong. After loading, it only needs to be transported to the designated port for unloading.

Weidong's business is also booming. A large number of goods are shipped to North America for sale, and the low-priced products are sold to the beautiful country and Maple Leaf country through the Virginia company, especially various home appliances. Home appliance chain supermarkets sell the cheapest, and there are various promotions such as point exchange for small home appliances after a certain amount of consumption. There are also various related promotions such as free movie tickets for buying appliances, and color TVs in movies.

In fact, these home appliances are basically copied by Weidong, so they have the confidence to call out the service promise of only replacing but not repairing. As long as there is a quality problem, the Baofeng home appliance chain supermarket can replace it with a new one. Years, but supermarkets start in three years, and some products have a replacement period of five years, ensuring that buyers have no worries.

With the expansion of supermarkets and movie theaters, sales have also been rising, leaving the rest of the competition far behind.

Weidong looked at the report, and calculated the profit with Ruan Tao. This year's profit will make a big progress, breaking 50 billion a year should be achievable.

Ruan Tao said: "It seems that Jardine's annual profit is only about 3 million?"

Wei Dongdao: "Jardines just passed [-] million last year. The main reason is that the foreign firms headed by Jardine are doing entrepot trade and selling products as agents. They do not have their own core competitiveness. Apart from entrepot trade, they are tertiary industries such as hotels and real estate. .”

Xiangjiang's light industry is mainly concentrated in textiles, textiles, and daily necessities. These products are almost all made by Chinese capital, and foreign firms are only sales agents and distributors.

Ruan Tao said: "If you didn't have this ability, we wouldn't make much money."

"Yes, any industry is very hard, and it is difficult to make a lot of money."

If it weren't for the ability to copy, at most a small rich man would have no chance of making big money.

As soon as Ruan Tao and Wei Dong finished talking about the recent news, Mi Xiaozhou came in and said, "Boss, the stock market is not normal recently."

Wei Dong questioned, "What do you mean by not normal?"

Mi Xiaozhou said: "Recently, the stock market has been hovering around 350 points, and the trading volume has also increased to a certain extent. The stock economic newspapers are also full of good news."

Speaking of handing over some information, Wei Dong took over the daily K chart of the Hang Seng Index and the changes in trading volume. Since the launch of the Hang Seng Index at the end of 69, it has beaten the Far East Index of the Far East Club and the Hong Kong Index of the Hong Kong Club. The preferred indicator for people to speculate in stocks has been hovering from more than 69 points in the second half of 80. Although there were small twists and turns in the middle, it has successfully stood above 71 points in the first half of 350.

There are also summaries of financial magazines and stock economic newspapers below, all of which are forecasts on the stock market, saying anything.

In one and a half years, the stock market has quadrupled from [-] points, and it has always been a unilateral rise. Does it seem that this wave of rise has reached its peak?

Ask, "What is the approximate market value of our holdings?"

Weidong used to watch Mi Xiaozhou buy stocks by himself, but later Mi Xiaozhou gained experience and Defender Dong let it go. Anyway, they were unilaterally tight stocks and hadn't released them yet.

Mi Xiaozhou was not very familiar with these things, and kept all the data in his heart, saying: "We have invested a total of 14 million in buying stocks, and now the total market value is about [-] billion."

Weidong invested more than 2 million in cash before, and later invested some more to control the total size at [-] million. Stocks were bought and sold early and late, and now it is normal to have more than doubled.

Of course, these shares do not count the shares held by Hutchison Matheson and Qingzhou Cement, which are purely bought from the market.

Wei Dong pointed to the stock economics newspaper and said, "Perhaps there will be many people planning to take profits. These people spread some false news to attract people to buy at high places, and they themselves sold the stocks at high points."

This is the most commonly used shipping method. It spreads news that the market outlook will continue to rise, attracting people who don’t know the truth to enter the market at a high price, so that they can sell their stocks at the high point of the stock price. If it's death, who cares?

Mi Xiaozhou was just a little confused before. He didn’t know why the trading volume increased but there was no index increase. Hearing Weidong’s words, Mi Xiaozhou was startled instead, and asked anxiously: “Then shall we ship?”

Wei Dong couldn't make up his mind for a while, the reason is to follow the trend, sell a part of the goods at this wave of high points, and then wait for the price to be lowered before taking it back with the trend, so he made a big T, which can reduce his holding power. share cost.

Theoretically, this is the way to operate, but Weidong has a lot of stocks. If he sells all the 14 billion stocks, the stock price may be dropped to a very low price. Then it may not be so easy to buy it back by himself. If you have too many bargaining chips, if you shake yourself out of the car, you will be crying without tears.

Weidong just remembered that the Xiangjiang stock market would plummet in 73, from more than 1000 points to more than 100 points, and the stock market had evaporated by [-]%. So it is best to hold stocks and wait and see.

After thinking about it, he made up his mind and said, "The stocks are not for sale. I'll go downstairs and have a chat with Li Fuzhao."

"Okay, I know."

Wei Dong stretched out his hand and pinched Mi Xiaozhou's fragrant cheeks, causing Mi Xiaozhou to pat Wei Dong before he left the office in a rage.

Wei Dong chuckled, and then went downstairs to Li Fuzhao's office.

After the new secretary put down his coffee and went out, Wei Dong smiled and said, "Is this the third secretary this year?"

Li Fuzhao smiled and said, "Go aside, isn't your secretary graduate pretty pretty?"

Wei Dong said: "But I didn't change it?"

Li Fuzhao changed his secretary a little too often, some companies that wanted to go public had some banquets, and there were too many nightclubs and some flower boats. Now the ICAC has not been established, these are all normal phenomena.

Said: "Okay, I just married a few concubines, what's the matter here today?"

Wei Dong said: "The stock market is not normal recently, is there any news?"

As the chairman of the Xiangjiang Association, Li Fuzhao has the most complete news. Many people who want to manipulate the stock market can't escape Li Fuzhao's eyes. Many things can't go on without Li Fuzhao's cooperation, so Wei Dong came over immediately when he became suspicious. I found Li Fuzhao.

Li Fuzhao said: "There are indeed some people who want to ship recently, and you can see it so soon?"

Wei Dong shook his head and said, "I didn't see it, it was my secretary who saw that the stock market was not normal recently, so I came down to ask you for the latest news."

Li Fuzhao said in surprise, "It's amazing, she discovered it just after it started working."

Li Fuzhao also knew about the relationship between Weidong and Mi Xiaozhou, so he didn't want to say much, but simply praised him.

Weidong got the news he wanted, and just got up to leave when Li Fuzhao shouted, "Wait a minute, here are some companies that want to go public recently, take a look."

One of the advantages of Weidong being the major shareholder of Xiangjiang Club is that all companies that want to go public need to be screened by Weidong. As long as Weidong is interested in companies, he can get some low-priced shares, and sometimes he can get five shares. One point or ten points of equity, so Weidong has already bought shares of many companies at a low price.

Weidong paused for a moment and saw that there were three companies applying for listing. Lilaigao Investment raised a capital of 606 million francs. The main capital was a Dutch company. The second one was Fudu Hotel, which needed to raise 800 million Hong Kong dollars. The chairman was Xu Heng is still a Chinese.

Neither of these two Weidongs has any impression, and the Dutch company will definitely not invest in it. As for Fudu Hotel Weidong, I don’t have much impression. I will ask the company’s marketing department to send materials to see.

The third company, Weidong, is very familiar with it. It turned out that Mr. Run Run Shaw's Shaw Brothers wanted to go public, raising 5000 million Hong Kong dollars for film-related industrial layout.
