Chapter 970: Shipping Crisis
"Big brother!"
"The surname is Mo, what qualifications does he have!"
"That Ye Qingwen is the first thing I fell in love with! It's the guy surnamed Mo who is looking for trouble with me!" Hearing Zhao Shipeng's accusation against himself, Zhao Shiyan was also "angry from his heart", both angry at Mo Xuan and angry at his eldest brother.
Speaking of which, Zhao Shiyan felt that he was wronged.
Originally, a long time ago, he fell in love with Ye Qingwen and launched a "strong" pursuit of him.
Although the woman has always been unpretentious to him, but this has aroused Zhao Shiyan's competitiveness, those women in the past took the initiative to dedicate themselves after knowing his identity, is there such a spicy one.
This matter has even been reported by the media in Xiangjiang.
This Zhao Shiyan is also confident in himself, then Ye Qingwen will sooner or later become a member of his long "girlfriend list", as for that Mo Xuan, he has only known women for a long time, counting from the "Top Ten Golden Melody Awards Ceremony", he has not even worked for ten days.
This is his interaction with Ye Qingwen, which is completely the surname Mo's unruly and slashing love!
Until now, Zhao Shiyan can't forget the arrogant expression of Mo Xuan who took Ye Qingwen away when he was at the Peninsula Hotel, and in that public, it was simply a knife until it was inserted into his body.
"Hmph! Speaking of Ye Qingwen, I still want to talk about you!"
"It's just a play, as for you being so attentive, it's more serious, since people don't accept you, you just let it go, why are you so stubborn!"
"I saw the report of the award ceremony, saying that Mo Xuan fell in love with Ye Qingwen, didn't you hit the muzzle of the gun!"
In Zhao Shipeng's heart, Ye Qingwen is an ordinary actor in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry.
Don't say it's her, even if it's the king and queen of heaven, their Zhao family can't look down on it, but Zhao Shiyan put their Zhao family and the crisis for such a woman.
This is simply lustful!
Hearing this, Zhao Shiyan didn't laugh angrily, and stared at his eldest brother with burning eyes: "Big brother, I finally understand now, where did I provoke any woman."
It's clear, it's that you're afraid of the surname Mo!!"
Yes, Zhao Shipeng is afraid!
At this time, Zhao Shiyan finally figured out the core of the problem, and suddenly, Zhao Shiyan's face full of sarcasm showed a smile full of irony, which was particularly eye-catching.
"Humph!"
In contrast, Zhao Shipeng did not deny it: "Yes, I'm afraid of Mo Xuan!"
"However, all of what I just said is for this family, for the Zhao family, and for the foundation laid by my father to be passed on, is this wrong!"
The more he spoke, the more excited Zhao Shipeng's expression became.
"You spend all day drinking outside, thinking about chasing women every day, and you still think that our Zhao family is still the Zhao family ten years ago, tell you! We can't stand Mo Xuan's pass, we will all go to the street!"
The Zhao family for ten years has unlimited scenery and is one of the four major ship kings in Xiangjiang.
At that time, Li Jiacheng was still a junior, and their Zhao family was one of the leaders of Xiangjiang, but now "the wind has long been blown away by the rain and wind", and it is not as good as a day.
"Humph!"
"I don't believe it, our Zhao family will be so unbearable!" Zhao Shiyan obviously didn't believe his eldest brother's nonsense, their Zhao family has always been from a famous family in Xiangjiang.
"Hey. At this time, Zhao Congyan let out a "silent" sigh.
If it was changed ten years ago, or even pushed forward for another ten years, and Mo Xuan's matter was encountered, where would they get together for a family meeting, attack directly, and let the other party collapse directly, this is the style of the Zhao family.
But in this way, the Zhao family is no longer the Zhao family.
In the sixties and seventies, the world's shipping industry was developed, and Xiangjiang was also a famous shipping center.
But this "no flower is red in 100 days, and no person is good in 100 days", ten years ago, the situation began to change.
In 1973, the world situation was turbulent, the Fourth Middle East War broke out, the Arab oil-producing countries imposed an oil embargo on the pro-Israel Western countries, and at the same time, the OPEC oil-producing countries implemented a price alliance, which caused oil prices to soar and the world oil crisis broke out.
The oil crisis has produced two major events that have directly affected the shipping industry: First, Western governments and oil barons are fully aware that relying on oil from the Middle East is undoubtedly making a noose for themselves.
So they started the "road of self-production", 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 exploitation of these oil fields has greatly shortened the distance between the oil production area and the land use, and the good news of oil production has made the owners of oil tankers sit on pins and needles.
Second, the oil crisis has prompted the governments of oil-importing countries and oil merchants to increase their oil reserves.
Japan is a major oil consumer, and most of the oil tankers of the four major ships in Xiangjiang are leased to Japanese shipping companies.
Japan, on the other hand, has been tightening its oil reserves since the outbreak of the oil crisis, and in the seventies, when Japan was full of stocks, it suddenly cut oil imports.
At the same time, in order to seize business, Japan and South Korea, the two emerging shipbuilding powers, not only set the cost much lower than the traditional shipbuilding powers, but also provided preferential loans to subsidize those shipowners who have the credit to order new ships.
Despite the reduction in sea freight volumes, freight rates have decreased, which seems to be enough to compensate for the advantages of low-cost new ships.
Shipowners are enthusiastic about new ships, and all the docks of Japanese and Korean shipbuilding companies stand with huge silhouettes of hulls, and the production and sales of new ships have entered a frenzy.
For example, Bao Yugang has realized that a worldwide ship disaster is coming! The only way to avoid a ship disaster is to abandon the ship and land.
So, from the 70s, he began to "land", investing part of the property he earned in the increasingly prosperous real estate industry, as well as hotels and transportation, and his fleet was constantly being sold.
Even the low price surprised and excited the shipowners who were still optimistic about the future of shipping, and they laughed at Bao Yugang's nervousness as a fool, and at the same time happily took out the money to buy the bargains that fell from the sky.
For example, Zhao Congyan was optimistic about the development of the world's shipping industry at that time, and in his opinion, the crisis was only temporary, so he learned from Onassis, speculated and took risks, and took advantage of the low price of ships to expand during the ship disaster.
Day by day, the size of the Zhao family's fleet is getting bigger and bigger.....
Today, the world's shipping industry has long been depressed, the world is unfavorable, and the profitability is not good, and the fleet in the hands of the Zhao family has slowly become a hot potato.
Every month, there is no business, no income, docked at the dock, a huge amount of maintenance fees, management fees, and bank loans have to pay sky-high interest every day.....
It can be said that the current Zhao family has reached the moment of "extreme urgency", and they have lost everything by accident, but these three sons are still a "cheat father" and have provoked Mo Xuan...............
