Chapter 551 The ambition of the ship king (first update, please subscribe)
As the Spring Festival was approaching, a large white yacht sailed into Taiping Bay.

This 99-meter-long luxury yacht is the "Christina" owned by the Greek shipping king. When the yacht sailed into the harbor, Onassis and his wife Tina stood on the deck, watching the city.

Over the past few months, Onassis traveled around the world aboard Christina.

"This is the city of miracles!"

Looking at the rows of high-rise buildings behind the coastline, Onassis said with emotion.

"A few years ago, this was just a port for exporting lumber. Now this is."

Tina said while looking at this strange city.

"I know "The Land Under the Wind" is written here..."

The brightly lit billboards and various cars running on the wide avenues are the same as in big cities around the world... not much different.

"Yes, that's right...the land under the wind, you know? Tina, this country belongs to the company, and the king is the businessman. He is the most successful businessman in the world because..."

After taking a puff of his cigar, Onassis said with envy.

"He bought his own country."

Of course, what makes Onassis more envious?
It was he who was able to turn Hollywood stars such as Hedy Lamarr into his own personal collection. For Onassis, who loved chasing celebrity beauties, this was something he envied, and it was also the most worthy of learning.

"Why are we here?"

"To give you a gift!"

Onassis, holding a cigar in his mouth, looked at the city in the dusk and said.

"The best gift in the world!"

What is the best gift in the world? I'm afraid only he himself knows this.

But what else could the Ship King have come here for?

Soon, the Ship King and his family came through customs and entered the city. Only when they entered Chang'an did they feel the strange charm.

Chang'an is bustling with lights at night. The wide main street is lined with high-rise buildings on both sides, while on the auxiliary street, a series of bright neon signs fill the city with a sense of the future world. The neon signs here are different from other places. They are not flat and neat. Instead, they protrude from the buildings on both sides of the street. Large, irregular neon lights hang high above the street. Colorful neon signs. The rainbow fills the streets with a futuristic psychedelic atmosphere, making it difficult not to associate it with the "intoxicating" and "luxurious" atmosphere.

The gorgeous neon light and shadow can dazzle people. Being in it, even Onassis couldn't help but marvel at this magical and extravagant light and shadow.

But the next morning, after having breakfast at the hotel, Onassis drove straight to Taiping Shipbuilding Industry Co., Ltd. - Asia's largest shipbuilding company, which was the purpose of his trip.

As the shipping king, Onassis was received by the general manager Zhu Wanzhe as soon as he came to the company. As soon as the two met, Onassis made clear his purpose.

"I hope to buy the 50000-ton oil tanker you are building!"

The world's largest oil tanker was the purpose of his trip. Almost as soon as he learned about the cruise ship they were building, the Greek shipping king began to think about it.

Finally, here he is, wanting to make the world's largest oil tanker his own.

Faced with the request made by the Greek shipping king who suddenly visited, Zhu Wanzhe said.

"Mr. Onassis, you should know that the current owner of that ship is the Borneo Shipping Company." "I know it very well, that's why I came here. I am willing to pay a 5% premium!"

The reason why Onassis wanted to buy the oil tanker was because it was the largest oil tanker in the world. As a businessman, Onassis liked to create a sensation. He needed the giant oil tanker to enhance his reputation. This would It will be more conducive to his activities in the mall, and will also be of great help to his plan to intervene in the world oil transportation market.

On the other hand, through observations over the past few years, Onassis realized that Europe has begun to enter a long-term economic recovery period, and as the raw materials of the European chemical industry switch from coal to oil, large tankers will become The darling of the times. Economic development will stimulate energy demand, and large amounts of oil consumption will inevitably cause the freight rates of oil tankers to skyrocket.

Therefore, buying the tanker at a premium is definitely a very cost-effective investment. And Onassis, who was determined to win, had even named it "Tina Onassis".

Yes, that's his wife's name. It was also a gift from him to his wife.

"You should know, Mr. Onassis, that as a commercial company, breach of contract is a taboo for all companies."

Although Zhu Wanzhe did not explicitly refuse, Onassis took out his trump card and said.

"Mr. General Manager, Borneo Shipping Company has more than two million tons of merchant ships. For them, this ship is just an oil tanker, but for you, this oil tanker is your opportunity and your opportunity." ——An opportunity for Taiping Shipbuilding Industry Company to enter the international market. This will be your first export of large ships to foreign countries.”

First time exporting!
Onassis's words immediately moved Zhu Wanzhe. Just as he was thinking about it, Onassis, who had long been confident, lit a cigar. After taking a puff, seeing that the other party was still hesitating, he said.

"We all know that your company and Borneo Shipping Company are two companies that have nothing to do with each other on the surface, but in fact, you belong to the same consortium, so you can communicate with them as long as you want, and I believe they will Express understanding.”

If it were a merchant ship ordered by another company, Onassis would not have made this trip at all, but here... it was different. Both companies are owned by the same owner.

In other words, many things can be discussed and handled between them, as long as there is a perfect excuse.

And entering the international market is one reason.

Faced with the opportunity to enter the international market, Zhu Wanzhe said after hesitating for a moment.

"Mr. Onassis, I need a few days to communicate with the shipping company!"

"Of course, no problem, I look forward to your good news."

Onassis said with a smile.

"Just in time, I also want to take a good tour of this city... the city of miracles, the city of the future! I have always been very curious about this city."

In fact, if possible, Onassis even hoped that Zhu Wanzhe could help him introduce His Majesty the King. As a rich man, he very much hoped to deal with dignitaries from various countries, and even his cruise ship "Christina", which The boat is a true "palace on the sea": with lapis lazuli railings, pure gold bathroom decorations, precious oil paintings, the oldest extant inlaid Buddha statue in the West, decorated with enlarged replicas of Knossos colored stone mosaics swimming pool. The ship has 60 sailors, plus waiters, laundresses, seamstresses, masseuses and two cooks. It can definitely be called the most luxurious "sea palace" in the world.

It was not just a palace where he enjoyed life, it was also a palace where he made friends with powerful people. Every time he visited a country, Onassis would invite local powerful people on board the ship to establish personal friendship with them.

Now, although he could not directly invite the king, Onassis still sent an invitation to Zhu Wanzhe, inviting him and the company's executives to attend the banquet on the "Christina". Of course, the senior officials of the Borneo Shipping Company were also indispensable.

In addition to them, Onassis invited to the "Christina" the ambassadors of the United States, Britain, Greece and other countries, and naturally some reporters were also indispensable. In the next few days, the "Christina", which can be called the "Palace on the Sea", stole the show in newspapers in Southeast Asia, even including its owner, the Greek shipping king Aristotles Onassis. It also appeared on the front page of the newspaper.

When it comes to creating sensational effects, Onassis is very good at it.
