The nine hundred and seventieth chapter [shipping crisis]
"Brother!"
"Who has the surname Mo, what qualifications does he have!"
"That Ye Qingwen is the one I like first! It was the one named Mo who was asking me for trouble!" Hearing Zhao Shipeng's accusations against him, Zhao Shirou also "has angered from his heart", with anger towards Mo Xuan and anger towards himself, his elder brother.
To put it, Zhao Shilu felt that he was wronged.
Originally, long ago, he had fallen in love with Ye Qingwen and pursued him with a "strong" pursuit.
Although women have always been rude to him, this aroused Zhao Shilu's competitive spirit. In the past, those women took the initiative to sacrifice themselves after knowing his identity. Could it be that there is such a hot one?
This matter has even been reported by the media in Xiangjiang.
Zhao Shiluo is confident in himself. Sooner or later, Ye Qingwen will become one of his long "girlfriend list". As for Mo Xuan, he has only known a woman for how long. From the "Top Ten Golden Songs Award Ceremony", he has not even had ten days of effort.
His interaction with Ye Qingwen was completely like the one named Mo who was not following the rules and snatching love from a sword!
Until now, Zhao Shiluo can't forget the arrogant expression that Mo Xuan took away Ye Qingwen when he was in the Peninsula Hotel. In the public, it was like a knife until it was inserted into his body.
"Hmph! Speaking of Ye Qingwen, I want to talk about you!"
"It's just an actor. As for you who care so much, you're serious. Since they don't accept you, just let it go. Why do you still have to pester so much?"
"I saw the report of the award ceremony, saying that Mo Xuan had taken a fancy to Ye Qingwen, did you hit the gun!"
In Zhao Shipeng's heart, Ye Qingwen is an ordinary actor in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry.
Not to mention her, even if it is the queen of the Heavenly King, the Zhao family will look down on them. But Zhao Shi took advantage of such a woman and put them in the crisis in the case of their Zhao family.
This is simply a lust that makes people confused!
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shilu smiled instead of anger, staring at his elder brother with a burning look: "Brother, I finally understand now. What kind of woman did I provoke?
It’s clear that you are afraid of your surname Mo!!!”
Yes, Zhao Shipeng is scared!
At this time, Zhao Shilu finally figured out the core of the problem. Suddenly, Zhao Shilu's face showed a sarcastic smile, which was particularly eye-catching.
"snort!"
In comparison, Zhao Shipeng did not deny: "Yes! I am afraid of Mo Xuan!"
"But, all the things I just said are for this family, for the Zhao family, and for the foundation laid by my father, that is wrong!"
The more he spoke, the more excited Zhao Shipeng looked.
"You spend all day outside, thinking about chasing women every day. Still think that our Zhao family is still the Zhao family ten years ago. Let me tell you! We can't stand this level of Mo Xuan, so we have to go to the street!"
The Zhao family has been incredible for ten years and is one of the four ship kings in Xiangjiang.
At that time, Li Jia and Chengdu were still juniors. The Zhao family was one of the leaders of Xiangjiang, but now it has long been "the romantic life has been blown away by the rain and wind", and it has become worse every day.
"snort!"
"I don't believe it. Our Zhao family will be so unbearable!" Zhao Shilu obviously didn't believe his elder brother's nonsense. Their Zhao family has always been from famous families in Xiangjiang.
"Oh." At this time, Zhao Congyan let out a "silent" sigh.
If it were ten years ago, or even ten years ago, and if you encounter Mo Xuan's incident, how could you get together to hold a family meeting? Direct attack and let the other party collapse directly. This is the style of the Zhao family.
But in this case, the Zhao family is no longer the Zhao family.
In the 1960s and 1970s, the world's shipping industry was developed, and Xiangjiang was also a famous shipping center. With this east wind, Zhao Congyan became one of the four major ship kings in Xiangjiang, ranking alongside Bao Yugang.
But the situation began to change ten years ago, "the flowers are not red for a hundred days, and the people are not happy for a hundred days."
In 1973, the world situation was turbulent. The Fourth Middle East War broke out. Arab oil-producing countries imposed an oil embargo on pro-Israel Western countries. At the same time, OPEC oil-producing countries implemented a price alliance, which prompted oil prices to soar and a global oil crisis broke out.
The oil crisis has had two major direct impacts on the shipping industry: First, Western governments and oil tycoons fully realize that relying on oil in the Middle East is undoubtedly preparing nooses for themselves.
So they began the "self-production road", the North Sea oil fields in Europe, the Texas oil fields in the United States, and the Gulf of Mexico in North and South America...
The mining of these oil fields greatly shortens the distance between oil production and land use, and the good news of oil production makes the tanker owner feel uncomfortable.
The second is the oil crisis, which prompted the governments and oil merchants of oil importers to increase their oil storage capacity.
Japan is a major oil-consuming country, and most of the tankers of the four major ship kings of Hong Kong are leased to Japanese shipping companies.
Japan has stepped up its oil reserves since the outbreak of the oil crisis. In the 1970s, Japan suddenly cut its oil imports, which were full of tanks.
At the same time, in order to attract business, Japan and South Korea not only place the construction cost much lower than the traditional shipbuilding powers, but also provide preferential loans to support owners of new ships with credit.
Despite the decrease in sea freight volume and lower freight rates, this seems to be enough to compensate with the advantages of low-priced new ships.
Shipowners are happy with the new ship. All the docks of the Japanese and Korean shipbuilding companies stand with huge outlines of the hulls, and the production and sales of new ships are going crazy.
There are people in this world who understand it. For example, Bao Yugang has realized that a global ship disaster is about to come! The only way to avoid ship disaster is to abandon the ship and land.
So, since the 1970s, he began to "land" and invested some of the assets he earned in the increasingly prosperous real estate industry, and also engaged in hotels and transportation. His fleets were constantly sold.
Even its low price surprised and excited the owners who were still optimistic about shipping prospects. They mocked Bao Yugang for being a fool of his nerves, while happily taking out money to buy cheap goods that fell from the sky.
For example, Zhao Congyan was optimistic about the development of the world's shipping industry at that time. In his opinion, this crisis was only temporary, so he learned from Onassis, took advantage of the low ship price in the ship disaster and expanded.
Day by day, the Zhao family's fleet is getting bigger and bigger...
Nowadays, the world's shipping industry has long been depressed, the world is unfavorable and the profits are not good, and the fleet in the Zhao family has gradually become a hot potato.
Every month, there is no business, no income, docking at the dock, huge maintenance fees, management fees, and bank loans pay sky-high interest every day...
