Chapter 238【Concept of container ocean transportation】

In mid-February 1954, the Chinese New Year just passed.

The ‘Jeddah Agreement’ has brought global shipping fame and profit; many employees of Global Shipping will even brag everywhere, saying that their boss almost taught Lao Mei a lesson.

Because of this, Wu Guangyao has another nickname "Shark Gallant" on Hong Kong Island.

In the conference room of the Global Building, Wu Guangyao solemnly introduced a new vice president to shareholders and management.

"This new vice president of Global Shipping in the future, John Ritchie, graduated from Cambridge University with a degree in finance and once worked for the British Star Shipping Company. Everyone welcomes him!" Wu Guangyao finished, applauding and welcoming Ritchie first.

Under the warm welcome of everyone, John Rich was very excited. From the beginning, he was tempted by high salaries, and then he learned about the competitiveness of global shipping in the industry. This made this high-end London talent secretly admire his choice.

With the rise of shipowners in Greece, East Asia, and Hong Kong Island, Europe and the United States are no longer the world's shipping hegemons. This is what John Rich felt during this time.

John Ritchie stood up and said to everyone: "Hello everyone, my name is John Ritchie. Global Shipping is in the process of modernization and group transformation. How to maximize the use of corporate resources, information and financial control methods to make Shareholder value can continue to grow, organizational capabilities can continue to be optimized, corporate risk governance can meet demand, so that corporate development can be invincible, this is what I have to prepare next. I hope that I will live up to the trust of all shareholders, and Colleagues look forward to it, thank you all!"

John Ritchie officially became Wu Guangyao’s second deputy in Global Shipping. Wu Guangyao naturally hopes that he and He Yuanzhang will complement each other, focusing on business and finance; and he will grasp a general direction and delegate power again.

Wu Guangyao's companies will only grow more and more, so Wu Guangyao does not have the energy. Every company does everything and takes care of everything, so it is necessary for these right-hand men to share the part of the work that they have unloaded.

For example, in the past, Wu Guangyao personally went to run the business and negotiate the price; then, now, Wu Guangyao throws all of these to the two deputies, and they can handle it.

In this way, Wu Guangyao has more things to think about-what should come out next!

"I have an idea. I want to promote global shipping to the world. Please refer to it! For shipping, take Tokyo Port to Victoria Port as an example. The medium-sized cargo ship is used to transport dry bulk cargo. The freight is 3 US dollars a ton. I think the freight is very high. Expensive, so what's the reason?" Wu Guangyao said unhurriedly.

"This answer is even known to me as a shipping layman. The bulk cargo ships are placed in bundles, bags, and boxes, which is a waste of space. The most important thing is that bulk ships can’t carry the full load of the cargo ship at all, so the natural price is It's expensive!" Sundars said with a smile.

“The other is that bulk cargo requires a lot of manpower to load and unload, which is also a considerable cost!” Wu Guangyao added.

The people in the conference room heard Wu Guangyao say this, and they started to guess what Wu Guangyao had invented. They were very excited and curious!

What kind of person the boss is, how can the management in the conference room not know the principle;

In everyone's minds, every idea of ​​the boss has raised many levels for global shipping and brought a lot of wealth.

Wu Guangyao continued: "My idea is to develop container ocean transportation. My concept is not the one that has already appeared in Europe and America. The concept of putting a few boxes. Ports, ships, cranes, containers, trucks, trains, and crews. The method of operation must be changed. The so-called port is a specially built container terminal. This container terminal refers to the water area including the harbor basin, anchorage, entry channel, berth, and land area such as freight station, storage yard, terminal frontier, office and living area, etc. , A place with clear boundaries that can accommodate the complete container loading and unloading operation process"

Wu Guangyao said everything he understood. Anyway, there are special recorders, and the management has the habit of holding pens for meetings.

Everyone was stunned by Wu Guangyao's big plan. If this plan is successful, it will surely set off a wave of enthusiasm all over the world.

"Boss, this method involves too much technology and knowledge. The design of containers, the design of tower cranes, and what you call "gantry cranes", etc., all require technical personnel to research and develop, so I suggest setting up a special container The transportation subsidiary is responsible for this." He Yuanzhang said.

The people in the conference room also echoed one after another. The business of Global Shipping is already busy enough;

And this plan is too big to be busy with the current global shipping.

"Yes, then Li Ming will be in charge of this subsidiary." Wu Guangyao clicked. Li Ming is a cadre cultivated by Global Shipping, and of course he is also a university culture.

After the meeting was over, Li Ming came to Wu Guangyao's office.

"I don’t understand the structure, structure, and internal design of the container; but I think the standard size should be 8 feet wide and less than 8 feet high. For the specific structure, after you prepare the company, send someone to study in the United States. ; As for machinery, go to Dongying to find a partner. For port matters, you first choose locations on both sides, and I will lobby the official to agree." Wu Guangyao urged Li Ming alone.

Wu Guangyao may not know more about professional knowledge than these people; but in terms of general direction, no one in the world can compare himself.

Containers are the future development trend, which has been popular in the United States in the late 1950s;

It is precisely because of this that Wu Guangyao's general policy cannot go wrong, because it has been tested by history.

Li Ming went from the original department manager to the president of a subsidiary company. Although it was only a small promotion, his power has increased a lot; of course, his responsibilities have also increased a lot.

"Well, I will do my best to accomplish this thing that is beneficial to social progress. I will also consult the boss and the two vice presidents at any time." Li Ming said modestly.

"Do you know why I attach so much importance to this kind of container transportation?" Wu Guangyao asked suddenly.

Li Ming didn’t even think about it, and blurted out: “Influence! If it were our global shipping and the first to advocate this container ocean transportation, we would increase a lot of influence.”

"Haha, it seems that you understand me quite well! Well, let's go down and prepare for the new company."

After Li Ming left, Wu Guangyao's face was filled with a smug smile. As a traveler, there are too many benefits!

Once this plan is implemented, the cost of dry bulk cargo transportation from Hong Kong Island to Dongying will be reduced by more than 80%;

will not only bring a lot of profits to global shipping, but also a huge reputation for global shipping.

Of course, if Global Shipping wants to promote container ocean transportation, it must invest in container terminals. This cost is very large.

Fortunately, shipping in Europe and the United States can make a lot of profits for global shipping!

Moreover, this terminal is long-lasting. If others want to develop container transportation in the future, they will definitely come to their own terminal, which is a huge profit.

Maybe the profits of a container terminal alone will make global shipping a lot of money;

Of course, the cake is too big to share with others, especially the official, so that we can achieve win-win cooperation.
