Chapter 242 The Reaction of Dong's Father and Son From Orient Overseas Group!
Sitting in the Rolls-Royce, Yang Ming knew that perhaps because of his appearance, Bao Yugang had to stop the plan of abandoning the ship and landing. In addition, he even had to further increase investment in the shipping industry to continue to consolidate the position of the Bao Yugang family in the global shipping industry.
However, Yang Ming used an open plot.
On the one hand, he really wanted to use real money to buy large ships from Bao Yugang's Global Shipping or Asian Shipping.
On the other hand, he used this method to make Bao Yugang give up the plan of abandoning the ship and landing. If the plan of abandoning the ship and landing was not given up, the Bao family would not have extra funds to take care of other aspects.
In addition, John Macdonald, the boss of Wheelock & Co., and Dong Haoyun, the chairman of East China Overseas Shipping, the heads of these two major groups, historically, they took the opposite path from Bao Yugang.
Bao Yugang wanted to abandon the ship and land, but they increased their investment in the shipping industry.
Wheelock & Co. was acquired by Bao Yugang, and John Macdonald was forced to lose Wheelock & Co.
Dong Haoyun, chairman of Orient Overseas, increased the tonnage of Orient Overseas from hundreds of thousands of tons to more than one million tons, and then to more than ten million tons in the 1980s. Although he owed a lot of debt in the early stage, he established his position in the global shipping industry in one fell swoop.
He also became the second largest ship king in the world after Bao Yugang.
What's more, his son later stepped into that high position.
If it weren't for his father Dong Haoyun laying the foundation for him to become the world's ship king, how could he have achieved that position in the transition from business to politics.
Historically, after Wu Guangzhen inherited Wharf Holdings and Wheelock, he once competed with Dong Haoyun's eldest son for that position, but eventually lost.

Yang Ming got out of the car, and Li Yufang, Ah Zhu, and Zhong Chuhong came out to greet him.
"Peter, have you had dinner?"
"Mommy, I've had dinner at Bao's house."
Yang Ming, Li Yufang, and Yang Jirong sat down in the garden.
Yang Jirong said, "Peter, I heard that you want to become the world's shipping king?"
"Dad, you should have seen the news about the Empire Group combining the shipping industry of its British group to form the First Shipping Group. This is indeed true, but this is only the most basic."
No one else knew his real purpose.
This may be known only to Yang Ming himself, even Mai Lisi is not very clear.
Yang Ming and Yang Jirong chatted there for half an hour.
Yang Ming went upstairs.
After washing up with Ah Zhu and Zhong Chuhong, he returned to the study and sat down.
At this time, many evening newspapers in Hong Kong reported the news about the Empire Group's establishment of the First Shipping Group, which shocked Bao Yugang and his two sons-in-law.
When John Ma Deng of Wheelock & Co. saw this news, he was also a little shocked.
Seeing that Mr. Yang of the Empire Group was going to develop the global shipping industry gave him more confidence.
He did not believe in the decline of the so-called global shipping industry. Historically, he made a desperate bet and invested heavily in Wheelock's shipping industry, which eventually led to serious losses.
At the beginning, the Zhang Yuliang family, the largest shareholder of Wheelock & Co., was very opposed to John MacArthur continuing to invest in the shipping industry on a large scale, thinking that the global shipping industry was oversupplied.
John MacArthur insisted on doing that.
Now, Mr. Yang of the Empire Group has established the First Shipping Group and invested heavily. In this case, John MacArthur feels that Mr. Yang gives him great confidence.
If the Zhang Yuliang family opposes his expansion of Wheelock & Co.'s shipping industry with other reasons at the board meeting, he will throw these newspapers directly in front of the other party, leaving them speechless.
There is no doubt that for John MacArthur of Wheelock & Co., he can sleep comfortably tonight.
As for whether Mr. Yang will become his competitor, he has never thought about it.
In addition to John MacArthur of Wheelock & Co.
Dong Haoyun, Chairman of Orient Overseas Group.
. . .
Taiping Peak Villa.
Dong Family.
Now Dong Haoyun is reading a newspaper, and there are two people beside him.
These two people are his eldest son Dong Jianyan and his second son Dong Jiancheng.
In addition, the three daughters were not around.
Dong Haoyun was very surprised when he read the newspaper reports.
When he was in Yanjing, he was invited to Yanjing to attend the National Day ceremony.
At that time, he, like other representatives of Hong Kong Chinese capital, met Mr. Yang in person.
Now Mr. Yang has just returned from Yanjing and immediately established the Hong Kong First Shipping Group. Moreover, the newly established Hong Kong First Shipping Group has far exceeded the scale of Orient Overseas.
Like John Macden, Dong Haoyun is very optimistic about the global shipping industry. He thinks that the global shipping industry is facing problems now, which is a good opportunity for expansion.
It is precisely because of that that he continued to expand.
The carrying capacity expanded from hundreds of thousands of tons to more than one million tons, and then from more than one million tons to 11 million tons.
Historically, Dong Haoyun gave up the position of chairman in 1979 and handed it over to his eldest son Dong Jianhui.
In addition to his older age, on the other hand, because he knew his body and suffered from heart disease, many times, many things could not be handled.
On the contrary, his son Dong Jianhui was still young, and Dong Jianhui had been by his side all these years, so he had basically taught him everything he needed to.
He did not pay that much attention to his second son.
However, he hopes that the two brothers will work together to build OOCL into a larger-scale shipping industry.
"Jian Yan, what do you think about the news?"
Mr. Yang, chairman of the Empire Group, suddenly established the First Shipping Group, which made the Chinese shipping companies and British shipping companies in Hong Kong seem to be nervous all of a sudden.
Dong Jian Yan said: "Father, I think this is expected. Mr. Yang has swallowed up Wharf Holdings, Hutchison Whampoa, and Jardine Matheson Land successively. These three major foreign companies have already had a large-scale shipping industry. Now it is just the integration of internal resources. After the integration, the efficiency, advantages, and competitiveness have also been improved. Is the strength stronger? This is beyond doubt. However, the global shipping market is so large that even without Mr. Yang's First Shipping Group, there are still Mr. Bao Yugang's Global Shipping and Asia Shipping Group. We will develop our own shipping industry. When the competition really comes, we can avoid the competition with Mr. Yang."
Dong Haoyun nodded.
He continued, "I have always believed that the global shipping industry has entered a period of decline due to the influence of the international environment, and even the shipping industry is oversupplied. However, I believe that the development of the capital economy cannot escape this law. What we need to do is to take advantage of this opportunity to expand our advantages. We need to expand the scale of Oriental Shipping as soon as possible."
"Father, if that's the case, I think since Mr. Yang dares to do that, it's definitely not wrong for us to follow him."
Father's doing that is very risky, but now Mr. Yang of the Empire Group is doing that, and in Dong Jiancheng's view, it is indeed very useful for reference.
"Jiancheng, what do you think?"
"Father, no matter what you and your elder brother do, I support you." Dong Jiancheng said.
In fact, for him, his elder brother is already very good, and he just needs to do what his elder brother says.
