Chapter 1383: Work Hard
Li Zitao is also representing American capital.
As the biggest victor and beneficiary of World War II, US capital is currently very popular in the market because it represents strength.
But there are some exceptions, that is, the reputation of American capital is not very good.
They never talk about human feelings when doing business, business is business, and there is only one thing that needs to be paid attention to; how much money can they make?
Therefore, many times their behavior appears barbaric, reckless and disregarded to the outside world, appearing cruel and cruel.
Lee Holdings Bank, its main body, Wells Fargo Bank, is one of the best.
Otherwise, where did Li Zitao get the title of "Greedy Predator"? It's not because his subordinates are too decisive and always only focus on the best interests.
But he never stopped talking about it, because to him it was exactly what was wanted.
Is a capitalist who doesn't want to make money still a qualified capitalist?
"I've heard of his reputation, but I believe in another rumor." Sir He said confidently, propping his hands with a cane on the ground.
"What?" For a moment, He Shirong couldn't think of anything that could make him believe so firmly.
"Keep your promise and never compromise what you say." Sir He looked at his son.
"That's all rumors." He Shirong was a little helpless, the old man naively believed just such a rumor.
"Aren't what you said are also rumors?" Sir He said angrily; "Who can prove that it was his order, not the self-assessment of his subordinates."
"This is sophistry." He Shirong said with a bit of a smile.
"People are always like this, willing to believe bad things, but instinctively resist good things... You should see more of the beauty of this world, and don't always stay in the shadows."
Sir He took a deep look at him, said something in his words, got up and went to the bedroom to rest.
He Shirong sat on the sofa without moving, his face changed gloomyly, and he muttered to himself for a long time: "I want to stand in the sun too, but your shadow is too big, don't let me go... How can I be noticed... ..."
Amidst the babbling of mosquitoes, the fire in the fireplace seemed to be trying its best, becoming flickering, so that half of the living room fell into gray shadows, together with the hunched back and no longer young figure.
Sir He made an appointment for morning tea with the old buddies, and was going to talk about it face to face, and then synthesized the opinions of everyone to come up with a preliminary charter.
Li Zitao is also not idle here, he is personally formulating the future shipping method of Gangjiang, container transportation.
At the beginning of the 20th century, container transportation was tried out in the United Kingdom, and then it was introduced to capital countries such as the United States, Germany, and France.
But its current application is limited to these advanced countries, mainly railway, highway and domestic coastal transportation, both in quantity and loading capacity are very limited.
Professional container ships have not yet appeared, and most of the ships currently used are semi-container-style alternatives. '
In order for Gangjiang to truly become one of the important ports for international shipping, the container transportation mode is essential.
It is precisely because of its superiority and convenience that maritime trade has ushered in a new calendar year, and it has also contributed to Hong Kong's maritime prosperity.
Faster and easier loading and unloading, high utilization rate, flexible capital turnover, saving packaging time and consumable costs, improving warehouse utilization, etc.,
All its advantages.
At the same time, because it is a one-box bottom-to-bottom transportation, it greatly reduces the loss of goods, improves the quality of freight, and wins more people's trust in sea transportation.
We must know that in the process of long-distance transportation, cargo damage and cargo shortage were indispensable in the past, and the proportion even reached 8-9% during the rampant period.
It is normal for dock workers to randomly order something during the handling process, or directly buckle one or two pieces.
Withholding one or two items from one to another, and handling them layer by layer, withholding them one by one, the appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more points are being distributed. In the end, it has become a chronic disease on the wharf.
If you meet someone who is courageous, you will be ruthless if you want to do it.
The goods are fine when they get on the ship, and they are also fine when they get off the ship. When you go to the warehouse to pick up the goods, no matter what is inside, everything can become straw.
Then go to someone, who can explain clearly, back and forth cross-ocean investigations, and when the results come out, the other party has no idea where he went.
This stubborn disease must be rectified. I dare not say that the container is completely eliminated, but the safety of the cargo is guaranteed to a great extent.
The enclosed space can also put an end to greed. In the past, when goods were transported, you could just touch and look at them to know what was inside.
If it is too valuable, it will be difficult to suppress greed together.
Packed in a closed and strong container, invisible and intangible, unless you know what it is in advance, or if you sincerely hold the idea of making a profit, you will rarely become greedy.
In addition, Li Zitao intends to establish a brand new shipping company in Gangjiang and submit a large order of 20 container ships to Lee C. Astor Industrial Group.
Lee C. Astor Industries, expected to complete in 18 months.
The main reason is that these ships are not newly built from scratch, but old cargo ships bought from other countries for refurbishment.
In this way, the required time is greatly shortened, the cost of various aspects can be reduced, and the Lee C. Astor Industrial Group can be provided with sufficient experience.
"Sea Trading Company... why did you suddenly think of this." Elena was surprised when she learned of his new idea.
He obviously said that there was nothing wrong before, but he just met Sir He, so many ideas suddenly popped up.
‘Did he prepare ahead of time, or did he really improvise? ’ This point is worth pondering. Elena sometimes feels that her man is really too casual.
It's like a child who thinks about it as soon as he thinks about it. According to the idea he suddenly brought up, he just put himself into action directly.
What is frustrating is that every time his 'casual' decision turns out to be extremely valuable and correct in the end.
Often this is the most frustrating place.
It’s as if you’re trying your best to think about a question, how can you give the correct answer, and the other party just hiccups, just looking at the marks left by the water seepage on the ceiling, and the standard answer pops up in your head .
"I had a concept before. After talking with Sir He, I thought the time had come, so I took it out..."
"Is there no other reason?" Elena seemed to be pointing.
"Maybe, maybe not, but it doesn't matter, it's business after all." Li Zitao smiled, stapled together the eight pages he had typed out with a typewriter, and carried her to the bedroom.
I heard from the housekeeper that McGill was a bit lonely and wanted a younger brother or sister. It seems that they should work hard as parents.
