Ku Liqiang was originally from the Pier Gang and had some connections with the trade union. He broke into the Kowloon Walled City because the person in charge of the trade union at the time wanted to do so.

Now, with the Kowloon Walled City Church disappearing overnight, everything has calmed down.

Ku Liqiang followed A'er, and as time went by, he completely recognized Lu Weidong, worshiped Lu Weidong as his teacher, and practiced the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Technique.

He concentrated on his cultivation and did not have to worry about chores. In just a few years, he became the person with the highest cultivation level under Lu Weidong.

Coolie Qiang lined up behind Xiang Yang, the sixth senior brother of the God of Food.

Since he is the oldest, everyone calls him Sixth Brother!

Lu Weidong shook his head slightly and said: "This time, cooperate with the police and establish Wu Shihao's crime. The task of the two of you is to find the hidden evidence. This can also be regarded as practice!"

After hearing this, Fang Guojiang said a little depressed: "It's so troublesome? It's better to solve it with one punch!"

Lu Weidong shook his head and said: "The important thing is the process! Wu Shihao is giving you two an opportunity to show off your skills."

Coolie Qiang understood immediately, and he hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Master, don't worry! Junior Brother Guojiang and I will definitely complete the mission."

"Very good! Go ahead! If you need any support, just ask your senior brother Chuan Wa." Lu Weidong waved his hand.

The two agreed and left.

Just when Lu Weidong was about to meet He Yuyu, the chartering king arrived with a dusty look on his face.

"Weidong! You have to support me!" the chartering king said urgently after taking a sip of tea.

Lu Weidong was a little surprised and asked with a smile: "What happened?"

The chartering king sighed and said: "I am thinking about acquiring Wharf! I have secretly acquired 20% of its shares. At present, Jardine Group also controls 18%, which is equal to me. This

Things have reached a deadlock! What can I do? What can I do?"

Lu Weidong suddenly understood that the Wharf War in history was coming.

This battle is a significant event in the commercial history of Hong Kong.

Lu Weidong has been waiting for a long time.

At the moment, he secretly holds 40 million Wharf shares in his hands, waiting for opportunities to move.

"It turns out that Mr. Bao wants to acquire Wharf! This is a good thing! I support it." Lu Weidong said with a smile.

After hearing this, the chartering king smiled bitterly and said: "Weidong, I am going to sell ten oil tankers in exchange for cash support. After thinking about it, you are the only one who can help."

At present, the sales price of a 300,000-ton oil tanker is about 50 million U.S. dollars. The fleet owned by Charter King has fifty such large oil tankers. Together with other cargo ships, the total tonnage exceeds that of Aso and Aramco.

The sum of Guo Jia and Guo Jia respectively means that the chartered ship king is known as the world's shipping king, which is worthy of the name.

However, since the outbreak of the oil crisis, world shipping has declined.

The charter king noticed the coldness of the market, made a preliminary judgment in his mind, and began to lay off the shipping fleet on a large scale.

In the future, he will lay off half of his fleet to cope with the coming crisis in shipping.

Historically, charter kings cut off their tails to survive, and finally survived the shipping crisis safely.

Others are not so lucky!…….

Lu Weidong smiled slightly and said: "No problem! What is the selling price?"

"Ten ships, all 90% new! All equipment is in good condition! Three hundred and fifty million US dollars! How about it?" the chartering king handed Lu Weidong a cigar and asked.

"No problem! You transfer the ship to Huangbu dock and I will transfer the money to you." Lu Weidong smiled.

"Great! Wei Dong, you have solved an urgent need for me!" the chartering king sighed repeatedly.

Lu Weidong smiled slightly, shook his head at the Charter King and said: "It's just a small matter! But Mr. Bao, it's a bit difficult for you to take over Wharf! Let me ask you, how many shares do you have now?"

"About 20 million shares!" King Charter said.

"Li Huanggua must have bought this, right?" Lu Weidong said with a smile.

The Charter King was shocked after hearing this. He murmured: "Weidong, you..."

"Ha! Don't be afraid! I'm not spying on you. Because, I have always known who holds the shares of Wharf? Mr. Bao, let me tell you the truth! There are no Wharf retail investors in the market anymore!"

Finally, Lu Weidong said seriously.

When the charter king heard this, his expression changed. He stood up suddenly and said in shock: "How is this possible?"

"Ha! Is there anything impossible? Li Huanggua controls 10% of the shares! This man is cunning. He began to secretly acquire individual shares in the Wharf market a few years ago. Over the years, he has accumulated 10% of the shares.

Ten, unable to take a step forward at all."

"Perhaps! He has already understood! Wharf's shares have already been acquired by others!"

"This may be Jardine Land, or it may be another company, so he must have found you and resold his shares to you. Is that right?" Lu Weidong asked with a smile.

After hearing this, the charter king's face became serious, "Weidong, you guessed it right! I paid a high price to acquire the 10% of the stock in his hands. I originally thought that I would continue to absorb it in the market, but the stock soared.

Flying up, still no one revealed it."

"Yes! Because, our Kowloon New Century Company holds 40% of the shares. Hong Kong Guojia Bank holds 20% of the shares!" Lu Weidong said with a smile.

The charter king was slightly startled when he heard this, and then he burst into laughter.

He shook his head repeatedly and said: "So that's what happened! I've fallen into Li Huagua's ecstasy soup!"

"Ha! Mr. Bao, you should ask me about this." Lu Weidong smiled.

The charter king nodded repeatedly, but a look of doubt appeared on his face, and he immediately asked: "Weidong, since you have absolute controlling rights, why do you stand still?"

Lu Weidong smiled and said: "We originally had no intention of joining the board of directors. However, since Mr. Bao started it, we will prepare for action next."

"Before this, Mr. Bao, what are your plans? Do you still want to continue to acquire Wharf?"

After hearing this, the chartering king smiled bitterly and said: "I am powerless! Now, I am about to prepare to dock for development!"

"Oh? Do you want to abandon the shipping industry altogether?" Lu Weidong asked.

The charter king thought for a while, nodded slightly and said: "In the future, shipping will be controlled by Guo Jia, and I no longer have the soil to operate shipping. This is why I am preparing to move my position. I think my personal glory has passed.

.This year’s bankruptcy and reorganization of the Greek shipping company is an example.”

Lu Weidong nodded and said with a smile: "Mr. Bao! You have a unique strategic vision! I, Lu Weidong, admire you very much!"

"If you want to continue to acquire Wharf, we are willing to help you! The 20% of the shares of Hong Kong Guojia Bank can be resold to you. I will sell another 10% of the shares to give you absolute control.

.How?"

After hearing this, the Charter King suddenly became excited.

He immediately said: "Weidong, please tell me the conditions!"

Lu Weidong nodded and said with a smile: "It's very simple. Just sell your ships to Kowloon Shipping! We will take as much as you are willing to sell and exchange it according to the stock price."

After hearing this, the chartering king rubbed his mouth and said with a smile: "Weidong, I will take advantage of this!"

"Haha! It doesn't matter! Although shipping has declined, the mainland market still needs it." Lu Weidong said with a smile.

The charter king nodded and said: "Now the stock price has reached 50 Hong Kong dollars per share, I need to acquire 30 million shares, 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars! Okay! The price is about equal to the fifteen oil tankers owned by me! Weidong

, I will send you three more. After all, some tankers have some time. We have a total of eighteen tankers. How about it?"

Lu Weidong smiled and said: "Mr. Bao is so generous! I have no problem! Deal!"

"Okay! Refreshing! I will immediately send someone to transfer the tanker to Huangpu Dockyard." The chartering king smiled, with a look of joy on his face.

Suddenly, the two worries in his mind were solved, and the chartering king felt relieved.

The next day, Kowloon New Century Corporation and Huanhai Group held a press conference.

Afterwards, the two companies announced strategic cooperation and transaction information, and the charter king will take over Wharf in the future.

For a time, Xiangjiang stockholders were shocked!

Wharf's stock skyrocketed! It suddenly rose to one hundred yuan a share.

Jardine Matheson was so weak that Taipan New Wall immediately held a short meeting. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he sold his 20 million shares and completely exited the Wharf.

Twenty million stocks poured into the market and were immediately snapped up. The market was closed for a while.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kowloon New Century Company snapped up more than 10 million shares, and the rest was divided up by the market.

The Charter King has made no move because they have absolute controlling rights...

Autumn turns to winter, and in November, Yilang, an oil country in the Middle East, suddenly changes, and the historical trajectory is still coming.

The next year, in March 1979, the Arab and American forces completely withdrew from Ilangojia, and the Arab oil states became stronger.

As the Yilang embargo lasted for two months, the second oil crisis in the Middle East gradually broke out.

The price of oil started to climb from fifteen US dollars per barrel to thirty US dollars per barrel, and it is still fluctuating upward.

At the beginning of March, statistics on car sales in Kowloon were finally released.

Last year, a total of 8 million vehicles were sold in overseas markets, edging out Toyo Motors Consortium by a narrow margin and ranking second in automobile exports.

The first place is still the Aramco automobile consortium, which ranks first with more than 10 million vehicles.

However, Aramco's international market share has been declining year after year. Based on this growth, Luohu's exported cars will occupy the top spot in the next few years. This is not a dream.

After Factory Director Liu and Director Ye received the news, they were excited and wiped tears of joy.
