Chapter 1998: Pilot

Negotiations have reached a deadlock, and the United States wants to stimulate employment and introduce investment. And Feng Yu and the others invest to make money, there is no reason for them to go to the United States to do charity, and they are not citizens of the United States.

We can use more efficient automation equipment to ensure higher profit margins, so why use low-efficiency ones? Although the investment will be more, it can be compared with other ports and terminals, which will have a great publicity effect on their terminals, Hutchison, etc., and can increase the overall asset value.

Feng Yu is also a shareholder of Hutchison. Increasing the brand value and asset value of Hutchison also means that Feng Yu has made more money, so there is no reason to look far away.

Port automation is the trend. Feng Yu remembers that he went to the port in Shanghai in his previous life. There were not many workers at all, the safety was greatly increased, and the efficiency was extremely high.

If you invest in ports in the United States, then do your best. It's not doing well, and it also affects Feng Yu's reputation. When will the industry Feng Yu invests in fall behind so much?

Reid said that this still needs to continue to communicate with the two parties, and he also needs to report to the boss and ask the opinions of the Obanu team.

In fact, these port owners also have a lot of complaints against the dock unions. The rates of the docks in the United States remain high, but the profits of their port owners can only reach the average line, and it is not because these workers earn too much.

What has the auto union dragged down the auto industry in the United States? In the end, those workers suffered huge losses. Many factories were shut down, and those workers would not get the opportunity to renew their contracts. Apart from being auto workers, they would also what to do?

The leaders of the trade union did not suffer a loss. They still lived in big houses and lived a superior life.

However, for others to solve this problem, it is definitely impossible to solve it, but if Auba Niu does it, there is still some hope.

Because most of the workers in the United States are blacks, blacks are generally less educated and more engaged in manual labor. Before the white people were in power, then this contradiction may intensify.

But Obaniu is also black, so the conflicts of skin color and race can be largely alleviated or even avoided.

Choosing automation, from a long-term perspective, is beneficial to the United States as a whole, it is also beneficial to the California consortium, and it is even more beneficial to Feng Yu and the others.

Choosing semi-automation is beneficial to the current Obanniu, but it is not so cost-effective for Feng Yu and his investment, and even the California consortium will lose a lot of benefits.

How to choose specifically needs to be considered in detail. Even if their cooperation is negotiated this time, it may have a major impact on all ports in the United States.

If automation can be implemented successfully, then once other port and terminal owners see the efficiency here, they will also upgrade their equipment, then the port congestion in the United States can be greatly alleviated, or even permanently resolved. This also has a major impact on US trade.

Feng Yu didn't say anything more. If this point is not discussed properly, then investment will be meaningless.

Li Zeju suddenly said: "Reed, why don't we take a step back, you plan to use the five ports owned by the west coast to cooperate with us, then we will choose three of them as pilots, and carry out automation transformation first, let's see After the effect, how about making a decision whether to fully automate it?"

Piloting is a measure to reduce risk. Experience can be gained, and maybe some lessons can be learned, so that major losses may be avoided before full-scale development.

There are often pilot projects for enterprise reform. There are many branches or subsidiaries of the same kind, implement it in one or a few companies, test the feasibility of this plan, and then make a decision whether to implement it in the whole company, or simply abandon this plan.

In Li Zeju's opinion, there is no need to do a pilot project on automation. In many ports in Europe and Asia, automation is standard, and efficiency and profits can be seen.

But the United States is different here, even though it has many similarities with Europe,

But after all, they are still different countries, and the national conditions are still different.

The most important thing is the attitude of the trade unions and the government here.

Speaking of experimenting, Reid was a little moved. It's okay to give it a try. If they can succeed, they will get higher income, and Obaniu can also rely on this achievement to win the support of more rich people for re-election, which is more in their interest.

"Li, since it is a pilot project, one port is enough, and there is no need for three to be pilot projects together." For a pilot project, five ports and terminals cooperate, and you choose three-fifths of them, so what do you call a pilot project? Reed felt that it was completely unnecessary.

"Reed, the location of each port is different, and the situation in each state is also different. The purpose of choosing three pilots is to achieve better results. And this is not just for our ports, but for our ports. It’s a pilot for the entire West Coast port, or even a pilot for all the ports in the entire United States, three is not too many.”

Li Zeju directly expanded the scope to all the port industries in the United States, which requires the special approval of Obanniu.

Reed shook his head: "Our ports are at most representative of the West Coast, not representative of the Gulf of Mexico and the East Coast at all."

"Even on the entire west coast, are there many three port terminals as pilots? Even if all five of us are built to be automated, it is not too much. After all, we are only one of the terminals in these port cities."

Feng Yu agrees with Li Zeju's words very much. At present, there is no automated terminal on the west coast. They have made five automated terminals in five ports, which is considered as a pilot for each port city, which is not too much.

It was only then that Feng Yu discovered that Li Zeju seemed to be quite good at raising the flag. In this way, it is no longer just an ordinary business behavior, but has risen to the height of the national industry. Success is a good achievement for Obanniu.

Even if it fails, Auba Niu can also publish a book or give a speech based on this, explaining what he thought at the beginning, and he will definitely make a lot of money.

"Two, I can only agree to two at most, and I still have to fight with the boss. If the boss doesn't agree, maybe not one of them." Reed replied.

"At least two pilot projects, if only one is agreed, then we don't need to talk about it." Feng Yu stopped Li Zeju from talking.

He Huang wants to invest in American ports, and port owners all over the United States know. This will lose the initiative to negotiate, which is not good for them.

But Feng Yu can show a dismissive attitude towards this, a very simple combination of white face and red face. But because Feng Yu is the richest man in the world, this is very different.

Reed and the others must be worried, if the talk with Feng Yu really collapses, then they will lose.
