Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, I, the rice class leader

Chapter 107 107: Small profit and long-term lease, enter the shipping arena with United!
The workers at Yuji Shipyard are very motivated.

Because this guy Guantai is very quick at work,
This time he took photos of 4 boats on the Admiralty side.

Two of the boats have been taken to the shipyard for repairs.

There are also two [-]-ton victory model ships that will be pulled over soon.

These workers need to renovate and repaint these boats.
Very busy!
Gao Yao, who had arranged all this, was going to find Lei Liusan first.

Officials serve their mothers with utmost filial piety,

If he wants to run away,

I will definitely go see my third aunt before that.

And Gao must believe,

With the official style of doing things,

There will inevitably be something that needs to be explained to yourself.

"boss."

Pan Lin, who was entrusted with the important task, led a young boy in,

"He said he was from United Company and wanted to rent a ship from the shipyard."

joint?

Gao Yao was shocked!
In later generations, this company was called Mourun.

It is the absolute Big Mac among Big Macs,

No one knows this company!

"It's not convenient here. Let's go to the office to chat."

Gao Yao leads the way,

There is a war between heaven and man in my mind,

47 years?
joint?

It should now have taken on the important task of transporting, purchasing, and exporting materials for the country.

Gao Yao remembers that it seems to be this year,
The Northeast Bureau began to entrust joint transportation of soybeans, grains and other items to Hong Kong Island for sale.
They also purchased supplies such as medicines, vacuum tubes, roll newsprint, and paper filters, as well as cotton yarn, nails, auto parts, textile machinery, paint and other supplies needed to resume production.

This joint venture is the largest grain seller on Hong Kong Island...

Charter a boat?

There was a smile on Gao Yao's lips, he had almost made a plan.

The visitor’s name is Mu Yi,
Of course, this is not his real name.

His surname was Qin. In 38, he was ordered to establish a coalition in Connaught Road with US$2.
At that time, he was mainly responsible for exchange work and receiving and transferring consolation items.

Later, it gradually developed into helping to purchase supplies.

As the current situation changed, the main tasks of this joint company, Lianhe Bank, increased to sell tung oil, contact imported goods, and be responsible for exchanging national currency and foreign exchange, and settling accounts.

Till now,

Its main tasks were changed to: 1. Open up maritime transportation, develop foreign trade, and exchange domestic and foreign materials; 2. Complete financial tasks; 3. Cultivate foreign trade cadres.

to this end,

Organized the establishment of Tianlong Bank in Guangfu and opened Dalian Station.

This formed the trade line of Union-Tianlongxing-Dalian Station.

And Gao Yao's guess is indeed correct.
Due to the Sibao Linjiang Campaign, our army shifted from strategic defense to strategic offense in the Northeast.

The war situation in Northeast China has undergone fundamental changes.
Jointly ordered to focus on developing trade!

The main goods are soybeans and grains from the Northeast!
"I didn't expect it to be a high school student in person."

Mu Yi is very polite,

There are photos and introductions of Gao Yao in newspapers and magazines these days.
Although the photo is a bit blurry,

But let’s introduce each other,
Mu Yi will naturally be able to get involved immediately.

"Mr. Lei is going on a long trip."

Gao Yao did not talk about the previous conflict.

Instead, he asked, "I don't know what you care about?" Of course I came to Yuji Shipyard to rent a boat. Could it be that I wanted to chat with Gao Yao?

Mu Yi said: "That's it, Gao Sheng, I talked to Mr. Lei before and made an appointment today."

Gao Yao thought that this was really a coincidence.
"It's okay."

He smiled: "Mr. Mu, you can talk to me about anything. If there is anything wrong, I will ask Mr. Lei."

Naturally, Mu Yi came here to rent a boat. He urgently needed to bring the soybeans, grains, pig hair, tung oil, Chinese medicine, ginseng, bean cakes, etc. accumulated in Dalian and Luojin to Hong Kong Island for sale.
Then purchase much-needed items for the organization and ship them back!

At that time, the south was still ruled by Chang Kaishen, and land transportation was inconvenient.
Moreover, the Northeast is the land that is most in urgent need of construction, so maritime trade must be the main focus.

Of course, a boat is indispensable for this! ~
What’s interesting is that according to organizational regulations, United cannot yet purchase assets from counterparties.
Therefore, for decades, the joint office space was rented, and there were basically no assets to buy.

"Rent a boat?"

"Correct!"

Mu Yi said: "I heard from Mr. Lei that your company has two [-]-ton ships?"

"Have."

Gao Yao said: "We can arrive at the port within a week, renovate and repaint it, and it is expected to be re-launched within 2 months."

Mu Yi was overjoyed, his eyes gleaming: "That's great, great."

The situation is urgent, and a large amount of materials need to be transported out and replaced with useful things before being brought back.
A small sampan will not work, you must need a big boat!
Mu Yi has looked for several companies, but either the tonnage is too small or they have already sailed away.
He finally found out that Yuji had photographed two [-]-ton ships.

So he immediately approached Lei Guantai.
"High school student, I plan to rent it for one year."

Gao Yao shook his head: "No."

Mu Yi was anxious: "High school students, the price is easy to negotiate."

In Shangyanshang, he thought that Gao Yao was dissatisfied with the price.
He quickly said: "We can follow the market price..."

"money is not a problem."

Of course money is an issue, but Gao Yao has thought about it carefully.

As the saying goes, there are three risks in sailing and horse racing.

He felt that the route taken by the chartering kings of later generations was excellent.

So I had already made up my mind.

Mu Yi was stunned: "High student, I don't know what the problem is?"

Gao Yao said: "We don't do short-term rental business, unless we do long-term rental!"

At that time, the short-term settlement method was generally adopted internationally, and the rent was calculated based on the ship's itinerary, so that the ship owner would receive a higher rent.

Like Gao Yao, who refuses to rent at a high price but ties himself up with a lease of several years, what kind of business method is this?
Mu Yi was stunned, and he asked cautiously: "I wonder what the long-term rent for high school students is like?"

"We have a five-year contract, and the rent is easy to negotiate."

Gao Yao said with deep emotion: "Now that the country is in a difficult situation, I should do my best to serve the country."

Shit!

In fact, I want my brother to know that in the next ten years, the demand for maritime trade there was so strong that it is simply indescribable.
The demand for ships is even greater.

Asking him was like booking a long-term meal ticket for himself.
Because this alliance will become the only export general agent designated there,
People are not short of money!
Mu Yi is moved. In this era, there are indeed many people who are giving without any regrets.

For example, Hong Kong Island actively donated money and materials during the Anti-Japanese War.

It is also an important transfer point for materials donated by overseas Chinese from Nanyang and other countries!

Gao Yao said: "This is what I say from the bottom of my heart. You can think about it carefully after you go back."

After all, United is not a limited company. It is led by relevant departments.
Changes in the lease term will most likely need to be reported!

From Gao Yao's true heart, he really hoped to jointly rent his own ship.
First of all, this is a long-term meal ticket!
Secondly, the joint import and export trade will greatly stimulate the economic recovery of Hong Kong Island.

For those who are interested in developing in Hong Kong Island,

This is about everyone getting what they need.

"Okay, just 5 years!"

Unexpectedly, Mu Yi agreed directly.
He said seriously: "But I hope Mr. Gao can help register the nationality of the ship."

Gao Yao smiled broadly: "Of course it's as the proprietor wishes."
