……

Not to mention that Dong Dagongzi had a premonition, even Tang Huan heard the sonorous meaning of "seeking wealth and danger" in Boss Huo's tone. The content of the proposal can almost be said to be out of the air -- where can the oil tanker go if it wants to expand its work now? It is clearly the war-torn Middle East.

He couldn't help but secretly admire that the veteran Xiangjiang tycoons like Boss Huo, Charter King, and Shao Tycoon were all terminally ill at this time and took money to continue their lives, but they still did not lose the enterprising spirit of Lao Ji, which was far from being comparable to the drunken dreamers who were just pursuing luxury and enjoyment.

Sure enough, I only heard Boss Huo reply: "Affected by the Iran-Iraq war, oil transportation in the Middle East has been in a tense state. I have some long-term orders here that are just right for OOCL to undertake. ”

Dong Jianhua was a little hesitant, his family and Boss Huo had been in contact for a long time.

For example, in the late 1960s, the Hong Kong government launched four container ******** on both sides of the Rambler Strait in Kwai Tsing District, New Territories, Hong Kong, and Kwai Tsing Container Terminal No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4.

Seeing this scene, the Hong Kong government naturally stopped doing it, and directly stumbled without any reason, asking Boss Huo to make a guarantee, that is, at least 200,000 containers should be berthed at the wharf every year.

You must know that the total number of containers in Hong Kong at that time was not 200,000.

For this reason, Boss Huo specially went to discuss with Dong Haoyun, the "King of Ships".

Although they thought that they were not sure, and finally the cooperation fell through - they had to give up Pier 1 and give up this golden job to Swire Group Modern Terminals Co., Ltd., one of the four major British-funded foreign companies, but it can also be seen that the relationship between the two has changed.

It was based on this origin that Dong Jianhua suddenly guessed where the long-term orders mentioned by Boss Huo came from.

In fact, Boss Huo's business covers a wide range.

After the intense shipping during the Korean War, in 1953, he founded Fok Hing Hing Tong Real Estate Co., Ltd., then established the establishment of Xin Real Estate Co., Ltd., and Yourong Co., Ltd., and entered the real estate sector, developing residential buildings in Wan Chai and Causeway Bay, including Toad Palace Building, Hong Kong Building, Haicheng Building, etc.

More famously, Boss Fok pioneered the "off-the-plan" system, which allows buyers to pre-order before the building is completed.

Although this trick aroused the suspicion of the public at the time, it made the property market obviously active, and other real estate developers followed suit, which continues to this day, which can be described as an impact

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Boss Huo began to fade out of the real estate industry again, turned to the petroleum product market, and after the world energy crisis, ran the Oriental Petroleum Company in Xiangjiang to sell petroleum products produced in China.

Therefore, Boss Huo's repeated opinions on the future direction of OOCL are not abrupt at all, after all, the oil business is one of his businesses, but the background is a bit sensitive.

OOCL's bankruptcy crisis has made Dong Jianhua unable to take care of the political and political sensitivities of Boss Huo, and he is worried about another problem, "But I heard that since the Iran-Iraq war has been fought so far, both sides have turned their eyes red and used all means, and even began to attack merchant ships entering and leaving the Persian Gulf." ”

Speaking of this, Dong Jianhua's gaze turned to Tang Huan, "I don't know if Mr. Tang has heard of this situation?"

"Understood. Tang Huan bowed slightly, "Iran and Iraq do have this trend." ”

The Iran-Iraq war, in its fifth year, reached a stalemate last year and turned into a long-term war of attrition. The warring parties have attacked and defended each other in the border areas, and the ground front has remained largely immobile.

In order to weaken Iran's economy and break out of the impasse, Iraq began to use its growing air force to launch ship raids. That is, to take the initiative to attack Iran's oil tankers and cargo ships, and the Iranian side is naturally quick to return the favor.

The earliest was on 27 March 1984, when the Iraqi Air Force used Exocet missiles to attack a Panamanian oil tanker near the island of Harq, and the Iranian Air Force retaliated the next day by attacking a Kuwaiti oil tanker.

Since then, Iraq and Iran have been engaged in back-and-forth attacks on ships that target each other's tankers and neutral tankers entering and leaving each other's ports, thereby weakening each other's economies, primarily by launching missiles from aircraft.

Among them, the Iraqi Air Force mainly uses Mirage and Super Hornet helicopters to carry Exocet missiles, while Iran mainly uses F4 fighters to carry Maverick missiles. Of course, both sides have used relatively cheap rockets and bombs.

Missiles and other weapons can be bluffing, but in reality, these attacks on the vast sea did not achieve lethal results at first, and most ships were simply damaged or stranded.

However, in 1985, on February 14 of this year, the first ship to be sunk in the ship attack finally appeared, a Liberian oil tanker sunk by the Iraqi Air Force.

Because Iraq relies mostly on pipelines for its oil exports, and the Iraqi Air Force is stronger than the Iranian Air Force at this stage, its losses in this ship attack are smaller than those of its opponents.

Iran, of course, will not suffer from this, so it has naturally escalated its attack to other Gulf states that support Iraq.

In general, most Arab countries, such as Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait, supported Iraq politically and economically, fearing the expansion of Iran's Islamic revolution. In particular, the latter two countries lent tens of billions of dollars to Iraq during the war for the purchase of weapons and equipment.

Although these Arab countries did not provide Iraq with troops or weapons, most of the Soviet-style weapons purchased by Iraq were transited through them. Even in the early days of the war, in order to escape Iranian air strikes, Iraq diverted its domestic aircraft to airports in nearby Arab countries.

But there are also a handful of Arab countries that support Iran. Such as Syria and Libya.

Outside the Arab world, Western countries support Iraq, while Israel, Argentina, South Africa, and North Korea support Iran.

As for the big powers, it doesn't matter where they stand, just selling weapons to both sides is too busy. In essence, this also shows that the fact that Iraq and Iran, two developing countries, have been able to drag on the border war for six years is not unrelated to the support and manipulation of the world powers.

It is precisely because of this intricacies of international relations that Iran and Iraq have not lost their minds, and in the ship raids so far, in addition to the Arab countries that have been implicated in their respective opponents, the targets are small countries such as Panama and Liberia, and the neutral countries that have a deeper heel have not dared to move.

Tang Huan truthfully explained the subtleties to Tung Chee-hwa, and the reason why he knew so clearly was that in addition to paying attention to collecting the dynamics of these oil-producing countries in the Middle East, he also listened to the grievances of Kuwait, which has a good relationship, and the other party involved in the conflict did not eat Iran's stuffy stick and was trying to apply for escort protection from members of the UN Security Council.

"If the 'ship raids' between Iraq and Iran affect the interests of non-belligerents to an intolerable extent, the United States will definitely intervene. Tang Huan gave his judgment firmly.

In other words, he also quite agreed with Boss Huo's idea. Guy didn't mention the political factors, the oil business alone was worth the risk, and Wang Yongqing's refinery construction in Funan had already entered a substantial stage. Otherwise, how could OOCL, which is heavily indebted and has more than HK$20 billion, get capital injection?

Seeing that the two major shareholders both openly and covertly agreed to go to the Middle East to "seek wealth and danger," Dong Jianhua also let himself out -- it is better to be sunk by the fire of war than to sell scrap iron cheaply, so he immediately asked about the details of the specific operation.

The experienced Boss Huo continued: "Since there is a risk of being attacked, it is extremely rare to have the opportunity to run safely every time, so it is suitable to find some ships with a large carrying capacity. For example, the world's largest Happy Giant, which is currently transporting crude oil in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean, right? ”

Tang Huan took over and said: "In the past few years, through the Fisher Maritime Salvage Company and many port businesses, my IT company has mastered a set of highly automated design and computer-aided technology, if it can be applied to the Happy Giant, it should be able to greatly reduce the crew required for smooth sailing to 35 to 40, thereby further reducing the risk." ”

Boss Huo stroked his hands and laughed, "I have always considered Mr. Tang's role in OOCL in terms of funds and connections, but I forgot that he still has high technology in his hands. Yes, yes, with fewer crews, the more controllable the losses, after all, talent is the most important thing. ”

Dong Jianhua mused: "The Sea Giant can hold nearly 4.1 million barrels, that is, nearly 650,000 cubic meters of crude oil, and the draft after a full load is more than 24 meters, and it cannot pass through the world's major shipping lanes with shallow water depths, such as the Suez Canal, the English Channel, etc., and even cannot enter most of the world's major ports, and can only directly unload crude oil in the open sea through special connection facilities." ”

"As long as you get crude oil out of the Persian Gulf, it's not a big deal. Boss Huo smiled slightly.

Thinking about it, Dong Jianhua immediately nodded happily. In this way, under the impetus of two major shareholders with deep backgrounds, the world's largest oil tanker owned by OOCL is ready to operate the Persian Gulf route.

The decision was also a keynote, and the next three of them became more pragmatic and flexible around OOCL's exit from bankruptcy, and Tung's confidence increased as never before.

……

Boss Huo brought Tang Huan this matter, it was very energy-consuming, and after the busyness, it was already late December, Christmas in the West was just around the corner, and "Phantom of the Tomb: Eight Arrays", which relied on the historical background of the Three Kingdoms, was about to be fully released.

……

Not to mention that Dong Dagongzi had a premonition, even Tang Huan heard the sonorous meaning of "seeking wealth and danger" in Boss Huo's tone.
