Chapter 851: Blue Ocean Passage

Zhang Ke stood on the deck of a large freighter docked by Nanyang Shipping at the Hong Kong cargo terminal, expressing his thoughts, turning his face to the sea to the east, where the huge sapphire embedded in the blue water is embedded in the sky and the earth.

"..." Ma Wenqu was quite surprised. The Ma family and Nanyang Shipping are almost identical. The Ma family owns the absolute controlling stake in Nanyang Shipping. , doesn't seem to make much difference.

The difference is that the Ma family invested funds in Kumho Trading in exchange for a debt of 100 million U.S. dollars, and Kumho Trading invested funds in Nanyang Shipping in exchange for equity. Novel chapters are updated the fastest

Debt investments are less risky at a time when Asia's economies don't know when they will pick up.

Chen Wencong and others also stood there waiting for Zhang Ke's explanation.

"Standing on such a huge ocean-going freighter, I seem to be able to see that Kumho Corporation will be able to rely on these large ocean-going freighters to go to the world in the future, and I seem to be able to see the smooth road on the blue ocean," Zhang Ke said, not hiding Kumho Trading is involved in the shipping industry and has extended its tentacles into the global logistics system. "Kumho Trading's goal is to become a coordinator and organizer of industrial resources, not a controller. It is hoped that more resources can be gathered together into one I am also very confident in the future of the shipping industry. Kumho will not pursue a controlling stake in Nanyang Shipping, and all funds will be injected into Nanyang Shipping Group, hoping to maintain the development scale of Nanyang Shipping Group during the downturn; At the same time, Kumho can help Nanyang Shipping develop the ocean shipping business in the mainland to overcome the current downturn... There is no doubt that the blue ocean channel from the mainland to the world will become one of the most important trade channels for ocean shipping in the world."

"In the East China Sea, after the expansion of the East China Sea United Iron and Steel Group project is completed, the demand for new ocean shipping capacity will reach 4 million tons per year," Ye Jianbin said. It depends on Japanese and Korean shipping companies. It is not the situation we want to see..."

The expansion project of Donghai United Iron and Steel Group was successfully implemented only when Xu Xueping got the equivalent of one billion U.S. dollars from Japan when he was governor of Donghai. The two-year project construction will be completed and put into production in the second half of this year. Although it is catching up with the economic crisis, due to the implementation of various macro-control policies to stimulate the economy in China, the domestic demand for steel is still strong.

Kumho's influence in Donghai Province is unquestionable, and its influence on Donghai United Iron and Steel Group is even more unquestionable.

Although it is not extravagant to expect to be able to raise shipping prices compared with Japanese and Korean shipping companies. However, if it can win the ore shipping order of Donghai United Steel, Nanyang Shipping can maintain the current scale of shipping business, and even increase the scale of development during the downturn period; Bring back the orders to domestic shipbuilding companies, and promote shipbuilding companies to increase steel orders from Donghai United Steel...

Kumho Commercial is to make use of the deep domestic network and Kumho's existing strength under the existing system,

To become a big trader active in the industry and play the role of resource coordination.

Chen Wencong, Ma Wenqu and others have been trained on the grand vision of Kumho Commercial these days. But these few short sentences have a deeper understanding of Kumho Commercial's grand vision. You can also see what closeness with Kumho can bring them.

There is no wishful thinking in the world. There is no wishful cooperation either.

Zhang Ke agreed at the same time. In order to protect the rights and interests of Majiadi. The Ma family can choose to convert their claims on Kumho Commercial into shares in Kumho Commercial after a certain number of years. You can also waive this right to recover the principal and annual interest.

Kumho Commercial's creditor's rights are mortgaged by Kumho Commercial's equity in Nanyang Shipping Land. The Ma family didn't even have to consider Kumho's future repayment ability.

This guarantees that all the capital of Majiadi will flow to Nanyang Shipping Group. And it reduces the risk of the uncertain future of the shipping industry that the Ma family has to bear. The most realistic thing is that Kumho Trading has the ability to help Nanyang Shipping Co., Ltd. to get through the current economic downturn more smoothly - Kumho Trading took this opportunity to extend its tentacles into the shipping industry.

Zhang Ke considered the overall situation. Push Kumho to the central government for preventing the spread of anti-Chinese riots in Indonesia. This white lie can not only win the favor of the central high-level. It will also make Chen Wencong, Ma Wenqu and others believe that Kumho has a deeper foundation in China.

After experiencing the anti-Chinese riots in Indonesia, Ma Wenqu, Chen Wencong and others are sitting on billions of dollars in wealth. It can even be said that the rich can rival the country. There are bodyguards in front of the house, behind the house, and when you go out and enter the house, but before the national politics. Still like floating weeds in the wind and rain, without any support, without losing control over the enterprise. It's hard to refuse to hug thick thighs.

Zhang Ke's impromptu proposal really moved Ma Wenqu's heart, and Ma Wenqu immediately said that he would immediately hold a board meeting of Nanyang Shipping to consider Zhang Ke's proposal.

Leaving from Hong Kong International Freight Terminal No. 4 by car, you can still see high-rise containers stacked on the terminal from the rearview mirror.

"In order to get rid of the impact of the Asian financial crisis on the domestic economy, stimulate domestic demand and strengthen infrastructure construction, this policy is correct, but it will also have negative effects," Zhang Ke said. Large-scale investment will keep the prices of domestic steel, cement and other raw materials high. Local governments and private capital will have the impulse and desire to invest in the steel industry... In recent years, many new steel projects have mostly used Japanese technology. The requirements for iron ore raw materials are very high. Although the domestic iron ore reserves are high, the grade of iron ore is very low, which cannot meet the raw material demand of new steel projects. The maintenance of production can only rely on the import of high-quality overseas iron ore resources. I think In the next ten years, it will be difficult for the domestic iron and steel industry to get rid of the influence of Japanese technology, continue to launch projects, and continue to increase its dependence on overseas iron ore resources, while domestic shipping companies' ocean transportation capabilities are very weak, which is a short leg..."

Speaking of it, Zhang Ke sighed softly, with a helpless smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "It seems that we can see the future that is stuck everywhere."

"Even if people are stuck everywhere and exploited everywhere, for some people in China, the labor cost is only one-fortieth of the 1.3 billion people in the United States, and it has become the largest natural mineral that can be mined wantonly." Ye Jianbin Said something rather ironic.

Sun Shangyi smiled gently, he was considering how much the economic prospects described by Zhang Ke would bring to the shipping industry.

Of course, without experiencing it once, it is difficult to understand the severity of China's dependence on overseas resources ten years later.

On the one hand, the huge domestic market itself has a high demand for steel. On the other hand, the global manufacturing industry has moved to China on a large scale, increasing the demand for steel. In 1997, the total domestic steel production was 100 million tons, ranking first in the world in steel production. However, from 1998 to 2003, the domestic steel industry ushered in a period of high construction. During this period, private heavy-duty A distinctive feature of the steel industry is the large-scale influx of private capital into the steel industry.

After 2001, the domestic steel production capacity began to be released violently, and the steel production increased rapidly. By 2008, China's steel production exceeded 500 million tons. Steel production not only ranks first in the world, but also exceeds the sum of steel production of the second to eighth countries. At that time, the domestic demand for ocean shipping capacity of the steel industry alone will be close to 500 million tons, which is three times the demand for ocean shipping capacity of crude oil. At this time, Nanyang Shipping will need 50 companies to meet the domestic steel industry's demand for ocean shipping capacity.

"Although Nanyang Shipping ranks second in the ocean transportation capacity in the Malacca region, compared with the global shipping giants, especially the major shipping companies in Japan and Greece, the scale is still small, and the ocean transportation can increase tenfold, which is almost enough It will have an obvious impact on domestic dependence on shipping..." Zhang Ke pondered for a moment, and told Ye Jianbin and Sun Shangyi the results of his calculations, "Our direct capital injection into Nanyang Shipping is tantamount to no doubt compared with the future demand. It’s a waste of time, and we need to guide more funds into Nanyang Shipping..."

Ye Jianbin smiled slightly and said, "Isn't this exactly what we want to do?"

Before the establishment of Kumho Shoji, Kumho carried out more resource coordination within the system. After the establishment of Kumho Shoji, it can play the role of resource coordination in a wider field, across industries, and influence industries that were not previously affected. To exert direct influence, to bring more and larger enterprises closer together - which also means greater power. The existing domestic system is still unable to exert influence and penetration on domestic industries by Kumho Corporation in this way. Of course, Kumho Corporation's focus is on the outside but not on the inside.

Zhang Ke looked at Ye Jianbin and Sun Shangyi, wondering if Sun Shangyi was aware of what happened between Ye Jianbin and Sun Jingxiang.

Xiao Jincheng, Jiang Wei, Zhou Yiping and others are responsible for the specific business work of Kumho Commercial, but the purpose of Kumho Commercial is not to develop stable business. Sun Shangyi is influential in the Chinese business community in Southeast Asia, and Ye Jianbin is very comfortable with the domestic system and Kumho's existing network of contacts. It should be the most appropriate cooperation for the two of them to be in charge of Kumho Commercial Affairs, but there is a gap between the two. Sun Jingxiang is a bit weird.

Zhang Ke can only cover his ears and ignore Sun Jingxiang's existence. Besides, there is still a troublesome little goblin in Jianye's youth apartment, but he is in Hong Kong, with Tang Jing by his side, so he can only devote all his thoughts to her. On this little girl.
