Because once shipping encounters a cold winter, it not only cannot make money, but also loses money.

And once an accident occurs, it is possible to lose everything.

The first generation of Chinese 'shipping king' Guo Song owned 13 steamships in 1877. He was an early independent Chinese shipowner in Hong Kong and could compete with the general foreign fleet. But he disappeared later. Some people said that he was no match for the foreign fleet.

, was annexed by foreigners, and some people said that the entire army was wiped out in a storm at sea.

In the hurricane disaster of 1874 alone, 35 ocean ships sank. In the era before radio transmission of marine weather forecasts, sea transportation relied on the weather.

In the 1930s, there was a severe winter in world shipping, and ports were full of large cargo ships and oil tankers. A US$2 million oil tanker could be purchased for only US$20,000, and Onassis relied on US$120,000 to buy it.

After purchasing six large oil tankers and surviving the cold winter, he became the world's largest shipowner and even the 'shipping king'.

Wheelock's old Madden also relied on the two large ocean ships he purchased at that time to become one of the large foreign companies in Hong Kong. You must know that before the 1930s, there was no Wheelock in either Hong Kong or Shanghai.

The records of foreign companies must be unknown to small foreign companies.

Early July.

The sense of crisis lingering over Hong Kong citizens disappeared with the emergence of the 'Seventh Fleet'. Instead, the Hong Kong government promulgated the "1950 Export Control Order", which stipulated that coconut oil, copper, diamonds, aluminum, and gasoline products,

Eleven commodities, including plastic, tin, silver, and copper oil, are prohibited from being exported to the mainland, Taiwan, and Austria.

Lin Zhichao knows that more severe bans are coming, probably in August. Of course, these bans are mainly targeted at mainland China, Taiwan, and Austria.

At the same time, Lin Zhichao finally understood that the ban on Hong Kong may not officially begin until December.

Obviously, this is very beneficial to him, such as the zipper industry.

He can take advantage of this period to continue to use the funds on his account to import aluminum alloys and copper raw materials from the United States in the hope of becoming more stable. As of the end of June, Cheung Kong Holdings' cash flow on its account has reached 1.8 million Hong Kong dollars, and its current monthly profit

Up to 450,000 to 500,000 Hong Kong dollars (including subsidiaries).

On weekend morning, the door of Lin's house rang.

Lin Xiner opened the door and then shouted sweetly: "Hello, sister-in-law!"

With a suppressed smile on her face, it looks like she is being naughty at first glance. Although Caiying and Lin Zhichao have completed their life exchanges, they have not officially gotten married after all.

Caiying immediately wanted to grab Lin Xiner's face, but Lin Xiner quickly dodged. The two classmates, friends, and relatives immediately started fighting.

Seeing Lin Zhichao reading the newspaper on the sofa, Caiying immediately sat next to him unconvinced and said, "You don't care about Lin Xiner anyway!"

Lin Xiner immediately stuck out her tongue, and then sat down on the sofa opposite.

Lin Zhichao put down the newspaper and said, "Didn't she learn from you? Am I saying this is not good?"

Caiying suddenly felt embarrassed, and then she remembered how quiet Lin Xiner used to be, but how could she admit it? Instead, she held Lin Zhichao's arm and whispered, "Are you going to stop pampering me after taking advantage of me?"

Don’t help me!” After saying that, his eyes demonstrated.

Lin Zhichao put his arm around her waist and said generously: "You will be Xin'er's sister-in-law sooner or later, why don't you just take care of her!"

Lin Xiner immediately cooperated with her brother, stood up in front of Caiying, and said, "Sister-in-law, I was wrong!"

Caiying whispered: "You are still shouting! This matter has not been settled yet!"

As soon as there was a fight, everyone walked out of the room one after another.

When Wu Wenying saw Caiying coming, she immediately said happily: "Caiying, I have prepared your favorite snacks for breakfast today." There was joy in his eyes, which was the joy for his wife.

Caiying couldn't stand it under this look, so she could only pretend to be calm and smile: "Thank you, Auntie Ying!"

Tang Caiyun held her one-year-old son in her arms and said deliberately: "My wife is going to fall out of favor!"

Wu Wenying said quickly: "Caiyun, how could you fall out of favor?"

Tang Caiyun immediately smiled and said, "Mom, I'm just kidding you!"

It is inevitable for women in a family to chatter.

Caiying could only lower her head. She also realized that she no longer had as much freedom as she did in the past.

Of course, with her character she wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

Sure enough, when everyone was having breakfast, Caiying said: "Brother-in-law, it's quite boring. Can you take us out to play?"

There is really nothing fun in this era. Of course, it is easier for people to be satisfied, such as going shopping in Central, going to department stores, going to Repulse Bay Bathing Beach, or going to the movies.

"Then let's go out for a walk!"

Lin Zhichao doesn't like to stay at home all the time. He likes to know every little thing about the market.

"yeah"

After a while, Lin Zhichao went out with his three daughters, leaving Wu Wenying and Axia with Lin Ruihuan at home. One-year-old Lin Ruihuan already knew about the protest, but Lin Zhichao was not worried about the large number of people going out.

Generally speaking, the whole family only goes out when everyone goes out for dinner. At other times, Lin Zhichao takes them out separately.

Lin Zhichao takes the Tang sisters out, why must he take Lin Xiner with him?

Because they are both young girls, Lin Zhichao does not want to treat this sister badly, so as not to leave any unfair impression in his heart.

In the car, Lin Zhichao drove the car himself, Tang Caiyun sat in the passenger seat, and Caiying and Lin Xiner sat in the back. There was also a car following behind, with the driver and bodyguards, totaling three people.

While driving, Lin Zhichao said: "Hong Kong has become more and more chaotic recently. Hundreds of local citizens were beaten by defeated troops. This also reminds me. Therefore, I will set up a security company in the near future.

Under the Yangtze River Industrial Group, externally we train security personnel in the factory, but in fact we provide security forces for our family. From now on, you will all be equipped with bodyguards."

Lin Zhichao has always recruited many bodyguards. In addition to the bodyguard leader Xue Junshan, there are also three drivers and three bodyguards. That is, one car is equipped with one driver and one bodyguard, and the driver is also a bodyguard.

In fact, Lin Zhichao is not worried about his own safety, because he has a secret weapon, not to mention that the targets of general kidnappings are basically rich and powerless people; and Lin Zhichao has a certain influence in chambers of commerce, connections, charities, etc.

power, so the possibility of being listed as an object is very small.

But what he fears most is that someone is still targeting his family, and Lin Zhichao will be very angry. It is best to be prepared.

Caiying said: "I'm not used to male bodyguards, but the driver is better!"

Lin Zhichao immediately said: "Then train female bodyguards, and each of them will be assigned a driver and male bodyguard. In the future, when you work in the company, you will be assigned female assistants."

"Do we also have to work?" Chaiying replied as the heroine again.

"It's not a full-time job! You are not required to work every day, but you have to understand how the company operates, so you have to attend some meetings and occasionally go to the company to sit. If you are interested, you can serve as the company's logistics department manager in the future.

." Lin Zhichao said.

"I understand!" Caiying didn't take it seriously.

Lin Zhichao could only shake his head helplessly. This girl was like an elf and didn't like to be trapped in company affairs. On the contrary, Tang Caiyun was very happy to go to the company and share Lin Zhichao's worries.

Therefore, Lin Zhichao must put the organizational structure of the "Yangtze River Group" into an "elementary model" as soon as possible, and then let Tang Caiyun join the company.

As for Lin Xiner, Lin Zhichao has high hopes. Her grades have improved a lot and she is expected to be admitted to the college preparatory course in two years. She will study for two years in the preparatory course and three years in college. She will be 24 when she graduates. By then, the Lin family business will have already

It has just begun to take shape, and there are plenty of places for her to show her full potential.

At this time, Hong Kong had six years of primary school, 3 plus 2 plus 2 years of secondary school, that is, seven years of secondary school. Of course, the last two years were also called university preparatory courses. However, there is currently only one university in Hong Kong, and that is the University of Hong Kong.
