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

Chapter 108 108: Mr. Gao is patriotic!
A ship is the mobile territory of a country, and the national flag it flies is the symbol of the country.

but,

At that time, the organizational power was not recognized by other countries, which meant that there was no national flag, and naturally there was no way to register it.

That's why Mu Yi made this request.

It's not the point,

The key point is that both parties have reached a preliminary intention for long-term leasing. For the Shipping Ministry,

It is equivalent to taking a solid first step!
As for Gao Yao,

The good cooperative relationship established with Lianhe will help him with his subsequent purchasing needs!
Yes, Mr. Gao does not engage in trade, but he needs coal from the Northeast to generate electricity...

Before 1953, there were more than 2500 private importers and exporters in China, with about 1 employees and more than 1 trillion in capital (1 was equal to 1 yuan at that time). They had many relations with foreign countries and had a great influence.

The same goods are sold at different prices in different places, disrupting the market;
The incoming goods are uneven, sometimes more and sometimes less, causing prices to fall and rise sometimes.

Most seriously,

At that time, the prices of domestic commodities could not follow the market trends, and the price limits were too rigid, often deviating from international prices.

Therefore, rectification was carried out later, and Mourun was allowed to enter into agency agreements with various export companies as the sole agent to implement unified pricing for goods exported to Hong Kong Island.

By 55, all 13 domestic head offices had signed agency contracts with a certain run company.

These 13 companies are import and export companies, food export companies, grain and oil export companies, tea export companies, machinery import companies, hardware import companies, native products export companies, miscellaneous products export companies, livestock products export companies, mineral companies, and instrument import companies. , Silk Company, Transport Machinery Import Company.

In this way, such a chain is formed: (source of goods) provincial and municipal branch - head office - customs - a certain run (market).

That is,

Although Gaoyao can currently purchase coal from inland through other channels,

But no matter how we go around later, we still have to go to the joint hands.

In that case,

Why not take advantage of the opportunity to set this line in the name of patriotism?

Gao must remember,

Relevant departments still take good care of powerful patriotic businessmen...

"well."

Mu Yi likes it best when someone purchases domestic items.
Hearing that Gao Yao had such a demand, he immediately beamed.

"That's easy to say."

Anyway, the two big boats haven’t been launched yet, so business is still early.
Neither side is in a hurry;
Gao Yao then said: "As for the specific details, Lei will always arrange for someone to contact your company later."

Brother Yao is still very good at carrying it.
He only cares about the general direction, and Lei Guantai will naturally take care of the rest.

Mu Yi was in a good mood after finishing the boat chartering matter.
He returned to his residence in Sau Chuk Yuen, Kowloon and began to write a telegram.

"Why are you so happy?"

A woman carrying coffee walked in, her name was Meixian, she was Mu Yi’s second wife.

The house in Xiu Chuk Yuen, Kowloon, was built by her father for her and her brother.

This house looks very luxurious, which is convenient for hiding your identity and doing business.
So Mu Yi always lives here and it also serves as his office.

Mu Yi said happily: "Do you know who I saw today?"

Meixian pursed her lips: "Anyone who can make my husband so happy must be a great person."

"Yes."

Mu Yi's happiness comes from the bottom of his heart.
He then said: "Didn't I go to rent a boat?"

Mei Xian hummed, the current alliance in Hong Kong Island has just started.
Strictly speaking,
In the past, the joint work was more of an auxiliary nature.

But it’s different now, because the Northeast Bureau needs trade,
Both Mu Yi and Meixian were keenly aware of the opportunity for joint development.
So I have always been interested in renting a boat.

"Mr. Lei introduced a good friend over there?"

Mu Yi slapped his thigh: "That's not true."

He said enthusiastically: "I never expected that the real owner of Yuk Kee Shipyard was Mr. Ko, the righteous man who put out the fire in Sai Ying Pun that day."

"what?"

Meixian was first surprised and then delighted. She had naturally heard of this name.
And it is natural to think that such righteous people will naturally support the country.

"Then he must have agreed to rent the boat?" "More than that!"

Mu Yi was very happy when he talked about this: "Mr. Gao is very open-minded in his actions."

He told Meixian about the experience of Yuji Shipyard.
"I originally thought that high school students would raise their prices on the ground. To be honest, I was a little disappointed at that time."

There were many moral gentlemen at that time, and many of them risked their lives for the country.
Talking about money is a bit vulgar,
Meixian pursed her lips: "It seems you misunderstood."

"Yes."

Mu Yi sighed,

"High school students not only support boat rental, but also take the initiative to lower prices."

"The best thing is that he wants us to rent it for a long time. Look, this patriotic heart will not give in to us at all."

"Coffee doesn't taste good when it's cold."

Meixian put down her coffee with a smile,

She doesn't think so. The most important thing for a businessman is to prosper and prosper.
Maybe Mr. Gao just regarded the boat as property.

I have to say,

After all, having studied abroad, this experience is different.

Doesn't Gaoyao turn the moving boat into a property for rent?What he does is the job of a charterer.

"Has the rent been set?"

"Mr. Gao means that as long as he signs a long-term contract, he will reduce the current market price by 20%."

Mu Yi sighed, "But he asked to pay in US dollars."

"This is also inevitable."

Meixian didn't think much, she said softly: "With so much less money, the burden on the organization will be lighter."

"It seems that Mr. Gao is patriotic after all."

Of course it’s not that simple!

Who would change money into Hong Kong dollars these days?
As Hong Kong Island's economic aggregate increases, the purchasing power of the Hong Kong dollar will gradually shrink.

Of course I have to change it into U.S. dollars.
That's right,

Gao Yao even refused to ask for pounds...

As for the 20% reduction in market price,
What Gao wants to do is long-term business rather than one-time transaction.
Of course the price must be favorable, otherwise why would people rent it for a long time?
Most importantly,

Once the long-term lease agreement is signed, Mr. Gao can use this to get a loan...

Of course,
In this day and age, even if there is a long-term lease contract,

The banking industry may not lend.

But you have to give it a try, right?

If you're lucky,

If you want a brother, you can use a boat to raise a boat like dumplings.
Maybe 50 years ago,

Gao Yao may be able to catch up from behind and become the shipping king of Xiangjiang...

Mu Yi then laughed again and said, "But it's only for now."

"Mr. Gao is incredible. He actually wants to open his own power plant."

He was amazed when he thought of this,

"They actually want to seize the share of electricity from Westerners."

"It's incredible, it's really incredible."

Everyone who comes to Hong Kong Island to do work has a heavy burden on them.
They are all serious,

Meixian rarely sees Mu Yi be so complimentary.
Then he agreed: "That's really awesome."

"nature."

Mu Yi said happily: "When he opens the power plant, I can negotiate with him to exchange coal for rent."

He snapped his fingers,
"This will save a lot of foreign exchange. I don't think he will object?"
