Chapter 1651 The Prospect of Air Cargo

"Air cargo~"

Yang Cheng frowned and whispered.

If you just look at the performance of the global air cargo market in recent years, it is no different from maritime shipping, and it is dead.

But in the future, the development prospect of the global air cargo industry is really hard to say. There are several major factors: first, the growth of e-commerce drives the development of air express delivery; second, the application of new technologies such as unmanned cargo aircraft promotes the overall industrial transformation; Air cargo is likely to become the main direction of future development.

First of all, with the spread of e-commerce to the world with country Z as the core, this new era of trade will soon replace the traditional way of becoming the mainstream, and is currently maintaining a rapid and stable growth momentum, especially the emergence of cross-border e-commerce, will Promoting the rapid development of multiple logistics methods such as direct mail, cargo collection and bonded areas will inevitably become one of the driving forces for the development of the air cargo industry. Yang Cheng has reason to believe that in the near future, international air cargo will usher in a rapid development. The period of development, and gradually evolve towards the direction of scale, express delivery and hub.

However, the high cost of human labor in air cargo will be an important obstacle to the development of this industry. This industry needs to maintain high timeliness in order to cope with the needs of rapid economic development. However, the labor cost makes companies involved in this industry ugly. When it comes to profits, if the company has no profits, then what's the point of doing it.

Of course, with the advancement of science and technology, some people and companies have proposed that in the future, the concept of a three-stage unmanned air transport network of "large unmanned transport aircraft + large branch line drones + terminal small drones" can be formed, which can match and cover the country The transportation needs of the last mile of trunk lines, urban trunk lines and remote areas, and finally realize the intelligentization of logistics transportation.

Once this bold idea takes shape, those who lay out the industrial chain in advance will undoubtedly occupy the largest share of the cake.

Finally, cold chain air cargo will become the main growth engine in the future, which Yang Cheng agrees with because of its huge potential market size.

However, this cold chain is not the cold chain transportation of fresh meat and seafood transported by air in people’s traditional impression. Of course, this part is still not to be underestimated, but the pharmaceutical cold chain has greater potential. The high profit of this part, everyone in the industry will know Jealousy, Delta Air Lines is no exception. The company has recently been discussing the modification of a special cold chain plane for the exclusive transportation of high-tech products such as medicine.

However, the cargo department of Korean Air used to focus on the transportation of traditional products, and now it is not even qualified for the cold chain transportation of medicines.

Of course, it is not too late to enter the market now. The pharmaceutical transportation business has been showing high growth rates in recent years. However, due to the difficulty of transportation, there are many strict requirements on transportation conditions. These business thresholds keep many airlines out of the door. Compared with other companies, Korean Air has a strong equipment and resource base. Compared with starting from scratch, the future is still promising.

At present, Korean Air has a total of 21 cargo planes, which will increase to 23 in the next two years, operating on nearly 30 routes every week, with 99 scheduled flights of all cargo planes. Korean Air currently has 10 B777Fs and 7 B747-8Fs , and 4 B747-400ERFs. It has a huge operating network connecting 120 cities in 42 countries. In addition to the largest Pacific route among Asian airlines, it also provides services for long-distance routes such as America and Europe.

In addition, Korean Air also has strict compliance transportation standards and a professional management team, which can ensure that more than 99% of orders can be carried out as planned. Korean Air has enough capacity to partner with cargo planes, or to replace customers with other flights in time to ensure the timeliness of goods delivery. These advantages give Korean Air a strong competitive advantage in the international air cargo market, and it is also a further increase. The key to the share of pharmaceutical cold chain transportation.

With the assistance of Delta Air Lines,

Korean Air can easily obtain logistics orders from American pharmaceutical companies.

The key now is whether Korean Air can successfully obtain the certification of the Center of Excellence for Independent Verification of Pharmaceutical Logistics from the International Air Transport Association.

The certification of Center of Excellence for Independent Verification of Pharmaceutical Logistics is a globally recognized certification system for pharmaceutical logistics operations. The certification is issued after rigorous evaluation of more than 280 standards such as long-distance transportation procedures, storage facilities, equipment and regulations of pharmaceuticals by world-class transportation experts. .

Yang Cheng said, "Get Korean Air as soon as possible, and then apply for certification. During this period, high-quality service standards must be formulated, and transportation procedures must be trained. Relevant employees in the company must also receive professional training on pharmaceuticals. This is a long process. , but in parallel with your expansion plans.”

Zhao Shangxi said excitedly, "Yes~ I will definitely live up to the boss's hope~"

But he hesitated, "But the investment in cold chain transportation of medicines is not small~"

Yang Cheng nodded, of course he knew that the investment in cold chain transportation is not a small amount, especially for medicines that have strict requirements on temperature, especially those sensitive medicines, such as vaccines and insulin, which require low-temperature transportation and refrigeration Storage, therefore, for the carrier, the ability to control the temperature is a very big test.

Take Delta Air Lines as an example. In order to ensure the safe transportation of medicines and ensure the required temperature during transportation, for medicines with strict temperature restrictions, Delta Airlines not only opens the doors of the refrigerators, freezers and thermal insulation warehouses at the cargo terminal. Real-time monitoring of temperature changes caused by closed conditions and storage volume, and analyze the temperature changes of each facility by simulating emergency situations such as power outages, and based on this, formulate solutions for various situations, through accurate temperature Control to ensure the safety of temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals during transportation.

At that time, Yang Cheng will arrange people from the headquarters of Delta Air Lines to come to South Korea to help Korean Air establish a strict temperature control management system to ensure that the temperature of medicines during transportation is maintained within a safe range.

The initial investment is a bit high, but once the advantage is established, it will be able to obtain high growth returns in the future pharmaceutical high-yield cargo shipping market, and these achievements will be directly reflected in the stock price. The market value of Korean Air and Delta Air Lines will usher in a new round of growth.

And Yang Cheng will definitely get huge profits from it.

"The initial investment is to lay the foundation for future harvest, don't be stingy, there is a market to pay for it anyway!"

Zhao Shangxi immediately said, "Understood~"

. . .

In the next few days, Yang Cheng was around several girls. Of course, he didn't let go of his work. Now the Zhao family was on the verge of collapse. With just a slight push, he would fall off the cliff and be smashed to pieces.

Faced with such a situation, it is the most sensible thing to abandon the car to protect the handsome man.

It's a pity that Zhao Yangho, who has the courage to call the shots, is far away in the United States for treatment.

And Zhao Yuantai, who exists as an heir, has nothing to do except throwing cups and plates at home every day.

On the contrary, Zhao Xian'e, the eldest daughter who once had a nut scene, has the courage to make a decision. It's a pity that she and Zhao Yuantai have different opinions. effect is negligible.

The stock price fell again and again, seemingly without end. The whole society was full of criticism of the Zhao family and a crisis of confidence in Korean Air.

At this time, the protest team formed by Korean Air flight attendants became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Just after the 500-person parade protested in front of the gate of Qing~wa~tai for a day, a petition came out from nowhere.

It was written by an "enthusiastic citizen" and received the support of tens of thousands of people at the fastest speed. They jointly sent the petition to the Korean branch of Delta Air Lines. These citizens who can't bear the notoriety of their country's flag carrier, Request the company's largest shareholder, Delta Air Lines, to save Korean Air, which is on the verge of collapse.

Soon the content of this petition was posted on the top, and it even got the support of public opinion. Many netizens said that since the Zhao family is unable to continue to lead Korean Air, it is better to hand over the company to someone more capable.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it is not unacceptable for Korean Air to become a subsidiary of Delta Air Lines.

Not only can it save the crisis, but it can also bring about better development prospects, why not?

As for what the Zhao family thinks, netizens don't care, but think it's retribution.

With the support of the public, Delta Air Lines Korea Branch stood up and stated that it would seriously consider the contents of the petition and give an answer as soon as possible.

Only two days later, those who signed the petition were surprised to find that the share price of Delta Air Lines has not fallen, or the decline has been extremely weak, and the decline has been eased. What does this mean?

It means that a large amount of money has entered the market to protect the market, and it has used extremely high prices to drag down the falling stock price, and judging by this posture, it is very likely that it will not fall but rise instead!

what's the situation?

Fantastic netizens immediately found out the answer. It turned out that it was Yang Cheng who made the move. He used CY Entertainment and personal channels to frantically buy Korean Air's circulating shares in the market.

At the same time, Zhao Shangxi, representing Yang Cheng, came into the sight of the Korean people. This Korean-American frequently entered and exited the headquarters building of Korean Air, and held meetings and consultations with the management and directors one after another.

After each meeting, the reporter was able to accurately capture photos of members of the Zhao family walking out of the building with sullen faces.

The people are boiling, and the people's wishes have worked, and Delta Air Lines may not only eat the shares in the Zhao family's hands at the price of cabbage, but also earn a wave of prestige in South Korea.

What is visible to the naked eye is that the next Delta Air Lines flight to South Korea will be full for a round, and it may increase the capacity of the same route.

At this time, Yang Cheng was sitting in the private room of the clubhouse, looking at the water of the Han River that was splashed by the strong wind, and felt a sense of accomplishment of stepping on the lifeblood of South Korea.

In fact, it is true. Although Asiana Airlines has developed well in the past two years, it is still a younger brother in front of Korean Air. Mastering Korean Air is equivalent to controlling the travel fortress of Koreans. Want to go out? I have to ask Lao Tzu to answer or not!
