Chapter 231 [Super Yacht in Jeddah Port]

Since World War II, many industrialists came to Arabia and wanted to develop oil, but they all failed because Saudi Aramco controlled the development of the entire region.

This shows a problem. Aramco's tiger whiskers are not impossible to straighten, it still belongs to the category of business.

At the end of April 1953, a super yacht "Koriti" arrived at the port of Jeddah in Mecca. The owners of the ship were Wu Guangyao and Kaila.

Wu Guangyao first arrived at Xingdao by plane, and met Keira who came from Europe, and then the two of them drove to Mecca on the super yacht 'Koriti'.

On the yacht, the two spent a full ten days. If it weren't for the beautiful woman Keira, Wu Guangyao believed that he would go crazy.

This led to the two people leaving footprints of love in many places on the ship.

"Honey, I will always remember this wonderful time. It was the happiest time in my life." Keira held Wu Guangyao's arm, and the two were looking at the port of Jeddah.

"In the future we will have our own super yachts, private jets, and large estates in Europe." Wu Guangyao stroked Keira's hair and said softly.

"Damn, you know I'm not talking about this, I don't care about those things!" Keira said coquettishly.

Wu Guangyao turned his head, looked at Kaila with malicious intentions, and said frivolously, "Could it be that what you care about is that many footprints of our love have been left on this ship?"

"Ah...ah! Wu Guangyao, can you be more romantic!" Kaila said frantically in broken Chinese.

The two flirted unscrupulously and chased each other on the boat like this.

After the "Koriti" was parked at the port, a group of people went ashore and rented a convoy to the Saudi royal family, planning to contact Saudi Crown Prince Saud bin Abdulaziz first.

Of course, without certain preparations, it would be very difficult for Wu Guangyao to meet such an Arab dignitary.

Long before Wu Guangyao's arrival, Wu Guangyao had already sent executives from Global Shipping to carry out a public relations activity here;

After all, Global Shipping often transports oil here, so it still has some reputation.

But this was not enough to meet the Saudi crown prince, but it publicized an important official of the Saudi royal family, and this time he was naturally used as a referral.

.........

After being confirmed by the guards, Wu Guangyao and Kaila came to Aziz's palace. Wu Guangyao was holding two falcon cages in his hands, and he seemed to be approaching with purpose.

"Mr. Aziz, nice to meet you. I am Wu, a businessman from Hong Kong Island, and this is my wife, Miss Kaila!" It's for luck.

Even if the crown prince doesn't like him, then he should come out and play for once.

Aziz has three curiosities at this time: first, a colonial businessman actually owns a cargo ship and an oil tanker of more than 1 million tons;

Second, this Chinese actually married a beautiful European woman, which is quite a feat;

Third, what are the two cage-like objects covered with black cloth in Wu Guangyao's hands?

Of course it wouldn't be a weapon, as it wouldn't be able to pass through one's own guards.

Aziz asked: "Mr. Wu, what are the two cages in your hand?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Guangyao smiled slightly and said, "These are two ferocious falcons, and I plan to give them to the crown prince as a gift for my meeting."

Aziz's eyes lit up when he heard the hawk, and he suddenly returned to normal, and said politely: "Mr. Wu, you came to see me with a gift, there must be something I need to do!"

"No, I just want to get to know the Crown Prince and make friends with him!" Naturally, Wu Guangyao would not explain his reason for coming here right now.

Wu Guangyao lifted the black cloth of the falcon's cage, revealing two vicious young falcons, who could be identified as birds of prey at a glance.

Aziz's eyes lingered on the two hawks for a long time before he sighed and said, "Mr. Wu, as the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, I can't accept gifts from businessmen. I disappoint you!"

Wu Guangyao knew that this was just playing hard to get. Judging from Aziz's eyes,

He has a certain ambition for these two falcons.

"In this case, let me sell it to Mr. Aziz. I spent a total of $300 on these two falcons, and Aziz will pay me $350."

Sure enough, Aziz immediately agreed, and the atmosphere became much better afterwards.

Before leaving, Wu Guangyao said to Aziz: "Mr. Aziz, stop at Jeddah Port on this superyacht converted from a warship. I plan to hold a banquet on it in three days and invite the Crown Prince to attend! "

"Mr. Wu, please abide by our laws!" Aziz thought that there would be wine at the banquet, and his face changed slightly.

"Mr. Aziz, don't worry. We invited the chef team here, and there will be no violations."

Three days later, the 'Koriti' super yacht ushered in a number of guests. These were all Saudi politicians and businessmen, including several Saudi princes.

Although there are many princes in Saudi Arabia, there are not many future generations. These princes are naturally attracted by super yachts.

Three days ago, as soon as the super yacht arrived at the port, Wu Guangyao asked someone to find the media here to spread the luxury of the super yacht, causing a wave of enthusiasm here;

At the same time, the fact that the Crown Prince will also attend this banquet was widely publicized, which can be said to have done enough homework.

No one knew the intention of Wu Guangyao, a Hong Kong businessman, but they were all interested in this super yacht and wanted to see it.

 …

Saudi Aramco

The heads of American oil companies such as Chevron and Texaco are discussing.

"Hmph, Hong Kong Island businessmen who are overthinking themselves, they came here with great fanfare. I'm afraid it's not just for socializing, but they must have ideas about Arabian Oil!" The person in charge of Chevron snorted coldly and said to several others.

"Then he really overestimated himself. Even European and American industrialists can't shake our position, let alone a colonial businessman." The person in charge of Texaco echoed.

A group of people laughed loudly. If Wu Guangyao saw that appearance, he might be furious!

Little people are not necessarily tiny, and maybe they can teach these giants a lesson!

 …

'Coriti' Super Yacht

Wu Guangyao fought fiercely with the Saudi royal family. As the host, these princes gave them a lot of face. After all, it was Wu Guangyao who let them see the world.

The Saudi royal family in this era is not rich, because the interests of oil are in the hands of American oil giants;

It was not until the early 1970s that the third king of Saudi Arabia redeemed Aramco's shares through tough means.

A super yacht is still full of temptation for these princes and nobles!

In fact, not to mention the royal families of these small countries, even the current Mrs. Lin (Lin Ken) of the United States was also fascinated by Onassis' super yacht, and finally brought a great shame to the Americans.

It can be seen that the Crown Prince liked the two falcons given by Wu Guangyao very much, and he even brought them on the yacht to show off to all the high-ranking Saudis, especially his younger brothers.

Falcons symbolize birds of prey. For these younger brothers, the crown prince also has hidden meanings!

You see, only I, the crown prince, can have such a bird of prey!

In fact, Wu Guangyao knew that the crown prince was unpopular in Saudi Arabia after he came to power. He lacked the ability to govern the country and liked to spend a lot of money. In the end, he was directly deposed by his younger brother Faisal.

"Mr. Wu, do you still have this kind of falcon in your hand? I am willing to pay a high price to buy it." The speaker was Faisal, the fourth son of Saudi Arabia and the third king, a tough leader who took back Aramco from the United States.

Wu Guangyao naturally lost the falcons. Wu Guangyao entrusted someone to obtain these two falcons from northern India.

The price was a full $3,000, which is more expensive than later generations.

For Feisal, Wu Guangyao is naturally not easy to offend, maybe we can cooperate in the future!

"Prince Feisal, I don't have any falcons in my hands, but if there is a chance, I will definitely keep an eye out for you!"

Feisal was slightly disappointed, but he quickly recovered his clarity. He was too persistent, and he was a prince with ideals!

"No need, Mr. Wu, I'm just asking casually, you don't have to worry about it!"

After a banquet, Wu Guangyao believed that his reputation would spread in the Arab world.

Rich, very rich!

 …

After Wu Guangyao came to Mecca for a week, he finally met the old king who had a few months to live under the recommendation of the crown prince.

"King, although the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has signed an oil monopoly contract with the United States, the contract is not without loopholes." After chatting for a few words, Wu Guangyao suddenly said something shocking.

"Mr. Wu, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has no intention of breaking with Aramco, so please be careful!" The old king was very conservative and seemed not very interested in this.

But the crown prince was different. He thought to himself, Wu Guangyao contacted him, and that was actually the idea!

The crown prince was very tempted, because seeing these American oil companies making a lot of money, while Saudi Arabia can only make some small profits, how could he be balanced in his heart.

"The king misunderstood. The loophole in the contract I mentioned will not lead to a breakup between Saudi Arabia and American Aramco." Wu Guangyao said calmly.

This old king is really timid, even a small businessman like himself dares to stroke a tiger's beard!

It really complied with that sentence, the bolder the family business, the smaller it is!

After listening to Wu Guangyao's words, the old king didn't open his mouth, obviously wanting to hear what's next!

"King, Crown Prince, although you have signed an oil monopoly with Aramco, there is no requirement to use Aramco's tankers for transportation. If you want to monopolize this oil transportation, you will get a lot of wealth... ...."

Wu Guangyao's words made the old king and crown prince dumbfounded. It turned out that there was a loophole in the contract.

"Mr. Wu, if I'm not wrong, you want to provide us with an oil tanker!" The old king quickly recovered and said calmly.

"King, I have 15 new 30,000-ton oil tankers, and I also have a maritime academy. I am willing to cooperate with the Saudi royal family and establish a maritime academy in Saudi Arabia to train a large number of maritime talents for Saudi Arabia." Wu Guangyao finally revealed own ambition.

However, Wu Guangyao knew clearly that this plan could not be passed by the old king;

He also clearly realized that he could not resist the crusade of European and American shipowners.

Therefore, the ulterior motive of my trip is not to drink!

First get ahead of Onassis, establish a good relationship with the Saudi crown prince, and finally wait for Onassis to take the bait and come to him for cooperation.

Wu Guangyao didn't want much, he just wanted fame, so putting Onassis and the Saudi royal family at the front put him under a lot of pressure.

At that time, although I am not as famous as Onassis, I will at least set off the trend of Asia's "Ship King" in Europe and America;

At that time, I took advantage of the trend to enter the European and American markets, and it was much smoother than that!

No one will refuse a ship owner with a deadweight of more than 1 million tons, and more importantly, Wu Guangyao has a huge price advantage.

The capitalists will give up the sweet pastry of global shipping!

Although the old king hesitated for a while, he finally declined Wu Guangyao's kindness.

But Wu Guangyao was really glad that the old king didn't agree, otherwise he would have a headache!

I don't have the courage, and I will have a decisive battle with the European and American ship owners now!

Afterwards, the old king asked the crown prince to entertain Wu Guangyao and Kaila, and left tremblingly.

The crown prince is an important part of Wu Guangyao, and if he establishes a good relationship with the crown prince, he will not be afraid that Onassis will not find him to cooperate.
