A super-rich man,
From scratch to become the world's first,
After discovering his mysterious background,
Be the first to reveal your thoughts:
I want to donate to China!
However, this huge amount of money,
At one time, he was rejected because no one dared to take it.
He is extremely persistent and refuses to give up,
Ask again and again, help,
Dedication, support,
Until everyone finally understands,
His patriotic zeal,
People say: You are the pride of the Chinese.
Later, he left, 500 billion family property,
were left to 4 daughters and sons-in-law,
His name is Bao Yugang.
世海浮沉，往事仍历历在目，
He was born intelligent and talented,
When I was young, I was a proper student,
It is sought after by teachers and students of the school.
13 years old,
His father sent him to Shanghai to study Xi shipbuilding.
But with the full-scale invasion of China by the Japanese army,
the land of China,
There's no room for a quiet desk anymore!
Bao Yugang went to Chongqing,
No background, no experience,
But he has an unyielding heart and is willing to struggle,
It took seven years,
Starting as a bank clerk,
He worked until he was the manager of the Shanghai branch.
In turbulent times,
He's always exposed to big sums of money,
It almost killed him.
In 1945, Shanghai's economic chaos was to death,
The Nationalist Government printed the currency indiscriminately,
caused by extremely severe inflation,
Prices are skyrocketing, but wages are not being paid.
Banks with the largest cash flow,
It has become everyone's punching bag.
One day Bao Yu just went to work,
A squad of heavily armed policemen surrounded him,
The leader put the muzzle of his gun to his head:
Get the money and pay us now!
When life and death are at stake,
Bao Yugang is in danger,
He asked to talk to his superiors on the phone,
Subsequently, after contacting the police chief,
This stabilized the situation.
After this incident, he was even more appreciated by the bank.
Calm and sophisticated, with the style of a general,
Seeing that he is about to be promoted and raised,
He chose to resign and leave Shanghai.
Everyone laughed at him for being a fool,
I don't want a good future.
As everyone knows, Bao Yugang has already penetrated the world,
Shanghai's economy is rotten,
The national government looted gold and silver from the people,
It's just going to be self-defeating!
In such a dangerous place,
Don't leave now, but when.
As he expected, within a year,
Due to the large number of indiscriminate issuance of new currency,
A severe economic crisis broke out,
Shanghai Financial Order Collapse,
Currency is almost a waste of paper.
Bao Yugang, who got out of this big collapse early,
In 1949, he arrived in Hong Kong with his family.
With the hundreds of thousands of yuan that he and his father scraped together,
He was determined to pursue a career in shipping.
But at that time,
Hong Kong's shipping market is saturated,
The competition is quite fierce,
Bao Yugang is a layman,
What to fight with those shipping tycoons?
There is also a saying that there are three points of risk for sailing and running horses,
Bet with all your belongings,
An accidental,
It's all over the plate, and there is no return!
But Bao Yugang is obviously iron-hearted:
"Shipping is a worldwide business,
Assets can be moved,
The scope covers property, technology,
Insurance, Economy, Trade,
Pretty much everything!"
He invested all his savings,
went to England and bought an old coal-burning cargo ship,
Beneath your feet is a tattered deck,
In front of me is an endless ocean.
At that time, he started from scratch and had no way back.
At that time, he was full of pride:
someday
I want to be the king of the world!
1955,
He established "Global Shipping Group Co., Ltd.",
Fledgling boy,
Breaking into the rivers and lakes of shipping,
The shot is two "no" words:
I don't know the rules, and I don't know what I can do.
First
He negotiated with the Japanese shipping company,
Sublease your own cargo ship for a long time.
It's not a good idea,
Because at that time,
People who run the shipping industry in countries around the world,
are all traditional short-term rentals,
The ship is settled for each voyage run.
This is not only a high standard of fees,
And the freight rate can be increased at any time,
Extremely beneficial for shipping operators.
Like the world-famous Greek ship king Onassis,
American Ship King Ludwick,
and the older generation of Hong Kong ship king Dong Haoyun,
That's how it all started,
But Bao Yugang's thoughts,
Not the same with all of them.
His main theme is a maverick,
Take your own ship for 3 years, 5 years,
Even 10 years such a long-term lease to others.
Such an unexpected approach,
He has his own agenda: "My motto is,
I'd rather make less money than take risks.
When I was young, my father taught me,
a person's reputation and credit,
It is the most important and fundamental thing to be a human being.
Man lives in the world,
Ill-gotten gains are never to be taken.
Long-term rentals can avoid risks, and only long-term rentals are available.
in order to establish real credibility. ”
Many people in the industry ridiculed him for not being self-sufficient.
I don't know the rules,
As a result, a few years later, everyone was slapped in the face.
Japan Shipping Company believes that
Pao's boat is not only cheap to rent,
And it's reputable,
Even if they can buy a new ship,
But he still chose to charter Bao Yugang's old ship.
Just by such an old ship,
Bao Yugang earned,
You can buy seven new boats for money!
At this time, the war in the Middle East broke out,
The Suez Canal was closed,
The backlog of goods has led to a sharp increase in shipping rates,
Many people take the opportunity to invest large sums of money in it,
But Bao Yugang went against the current again,
He gave up this great opportunity to make money.
Everyone began to laugh at him again for not knowing how to seize the opportunity,
Bao Yugang said,
If you can't take advantage of the opportunity,
Good luck can turn into bad luck.
As a result, within a few years of a truce in the Middle East,
A large number of Western merchant ships have nothing to do,
and the cost of maintenance and repair of the vessel,
reached astronomical figures,
So back and forth,
It's like the last few years have all been in vain.
And what about Bao Yugang,
Don't look at him on the surface and don't participate quietly,
As a matter of fact
When everyone is attracted to the attention of war,
He had already quietly set his sights on oil transportation.
He has built 57 oil tankers,
With the development of oil fields in the Middle East,
Bao Yugang's oil tanker made a lot of money for him,
For each voyage,
Earn enough money to buy a new ship!
1971,
A rising star in the shipping industry,
Bao Yugang, who has a strong momentum,
Become the world's largest bank:
of the HSBC Board of Directors,
The first Chinese.
With the strong wealth support of HSBC,
He bought 40 huge ocean-going freighters.
Operate in a good way,
Wealth is snowballing.
In just six years,
The size of Pao's fleet,
It reached a staggering 200 ships,
The total tonnage is as high as more than 21 million,
This number, more than the world's famous,
The sum of the two great Greek ship kings is even more.
One of the Greek ship kings,
once met Pao Yugang in the United States,
Humilly said to him,
"Engage in the fleet, although I am earlier than you,
But compared to you,
I'm just a peanut. ”
In that year, the fleet ranking of the shipping industry was announced,
has the largest fleet,
It's Bao Yugang.
This once unknown hairy boy,
It only took 15 years,
He sat on the top spot of the world's ship king!
Shipping is of great importance internationally,
Bao Yugang, who dominated the ship,
He was honored as a guest of honor by all countries.
1978,
Queen Elizabeth II,
knight him,
King of Belgium, President of President Ma,
President of Brazil, etc.,
He was awarded the Order of Merit.
Inauguration of U.S. President Ronald Reagan,
He was a special guest.
furthermore
Thatcher, Britain's first female prime minister,
has been his friend for many years,
Former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger,
It is his trusted best friend.
The first billionaire in the history of mankind,
Founder of the Rockefeller family,
Also a good friend of his.
The world's most authoritative shipping magazine,
For 120 years,
The most influential figure in shipping.
Commanding the sea of business, the scenery is unlimited,
Ambitious, Xuanhe world.
At this moment,
Bao Yugang learned about his life experience by chance,
It turned out that he was actually a descendant of a generation of Qingtian Bao Zheng.
Maybe it's because of the fame,
Or maybe it's because the deep affection in my heart can't be patient,
Bao Yugang is desperate to return to the mainland,
That's what haunts him the most!
On the occasion of reform and opening up,
I once wanted to go back to my homeland but couldn't go back,
Now that I finally have the opportunity,
He Bao Yugang,
Willing to give everything you have.
In 1979, Bao Yugang came to Beijing.
He found that the hotels here were particularly scarce.
decided to donate a sum of money,
Build a modern hotel for Beijing.
Since there was no precedent for Hong Kong businessmen to donate funds at that time,
Everyone is cautious,
In the end, no one dared to accept his donation.
I had to leave it alone.
Affectionate and cold,
Bao Yugang's heart to give back to the motherland is not dead.
The next year, he came again,
This time I brought a check for $10 million.
It means that the hotel built with this money,
All revenues go to the state.
He only had one small request,
See if you can use his father's name,
Name this hotel,
Because the old man has always missed his homeland.
The reception staff made a mistake again,
Although buildings are now named after people,
It's already commonplace,
But back then,
Using the name of a "capitalist",
This is unheard of,
A lot of people can't accept it.
Coupled with the sheer amount of this donation,
No one dared to make a decision on this matter.
Bao Yugang, who was rejected,
Gone with regrets,
But in the third year, he came again!
This time, he met Deng Gong,
The check that no one dared to take,
In the end, Deng Gong made a final decision to express his support:
Hong Kong businessmen are patriotic, donate funds for construction,
This is a good thing for our socialism.
Later this hotel,
It has become a milestone benchmark for reform and opening up.
The ambition to serve the country has been settled,
Bao Yugang, who is deeply grateful for this,
In the matter of dedication to the motherland,
It is also to spare no effort and give everything we can.
In 1983, Sino-British negotiations,
At the summit on the future of Hong Kong,
BAO Yugang,
As the only non-governmental person to attend,
Serve as a formal advisor.
Because of each other's different positions,
At one point, the negotiations were at a stalemate.
Bao Yugang understood,
Britain will not give up Hong Kong easily,
But for the motherland to complete its reunification,
Hong Kong must return.
For this reason he went from place to place,
At the expense of a lot of money,
Go to England and book a boat that you don't need,
On the grounds that the ship was launched in China for a ceremony,
Invite Margaret Thatcher to China,
From an unofficial point of view,
The big family of the Chinese nation,
Inseparable emotion.
In Hong Kong, the economic waterloo,
When people are confused about the future,
Pao Yugang firmly supports Hong Kong's return to the motherland,
He stood up and shouted:
Only to return to the Motherland,
Only then can Hong Kong have a prosperous future!
Hong Kong's return to China in 1997,
In the process of the reunification of the motherland,
The country will always remember his exploits!
And his exploits don't stop there,
In the early days of reform and opening up,
China's shipbuilding industry,
There is no place in the world at all.
Blank hard moments,
It was Bao Yugang who sent the order,
and use their influence,
Help Chinese ships enter the international market.
When the news of China's first cargo ship testing the waters,
caused great repercussions in the world,
He burst into tears with emotion:
"The country is strong,
We Chinese do business outside,
I can straighten my waist too!"
His fist and patriotism,
It is to help China Xing Industry,
It is also about helping the hometown to promote education.
The benefits of rejuvenating the world are greater than the prosperity of learning,
Bao Yugang firmly remembered this sentence,
In 1984, he worked for his hometown of Ningbo,
Donate $20 million,
Construction of a university library, construction of a secondary school,
On the countless donation slips of those years,
The same name is written on Bao Yugang......
The tree is thousands of feet high, and it always has to fall and return to its roots,
He has the motherland in his heart,
Planned a lot of step-by-step support roads,
It's just that the time left for him by God is running out.
In 1991, due to a sudden illness,
Bao Yugang, a generation of world ship kings, died of illness,
His vast business empire,
A family property worth 500 billion,
Inherited by four daughters and sons-in-law.
The world says, according to traditional thinking,
Bao Yugang's life is infinitely bright,
It's a pity that she only gave birth to four daughters,
No son inherited the family business.
But Bao Yugang's pattern and thinking,
has long been detached from too many people,
He did not listen to anyone else.
for he forsaken his wife without a son,
Later, it was not limited,
The industry must be passed down by biological blood.
He handed over the shipping business to his eldest son-in-law,
He said, "Those who are able dwell in it,
As long as you have the ability to expand the industry,
It doesn't matter if his surname is Bao or not.
Blue is better than blue,
Time has proved that Bao Yugang's vision is not wrong,
Now his eldest son-in-law,
As the new world ship king,
Take your career to the next level,
has surpassed his peak influence back then.
From scratch, in the international shipping community,
Out of the ability and prestige of the Chinese,
It can be described as both wise and brave;
Righteousness is thin and cloudy, dedicating half a life to the country,
Contribute a lot to become a person to look up to,
It can be described as loyalty, righteousness, liver and gall bladder;
Generously donating money to run a university and build a port,
Supporting Chinese ships from scratch,
It can be described as benevolence.
The giant wheel of reform and opening up,
has had his enthusiastic support,
The dream of China's great rejuvenation,
There is the masonry of the foundation stone that he laid.
So loyal,
People with strong patriotic feelings,
The Chinese will not forget him.
There is a Bao Yugang in the world,
Dedication to the country also wins glory.
His sense of serving the country and entrepreneurial spirit,
To go down in history
It will always shine in the vast galaxy of the Chinese dream!
