5. Business conflict with Swire & Co
Han Huaiyi was desperately analyzing the situation.
It is impossible for him to remember all the details and historical details.
But he did remember the colossus Swire.
Swire Steamship was a well-known shipping company during the Republic of China, with operations in China and abroad and throughout East Asia.
There is a phrase that can describe the shipping landscape during this year.
Morgan is Atlantic, and Pacific is primary.
It was precisely because of this that he suddenly thought that in addition to the inland steamer passenger transportation in the Yangtze River basin, Swire Steamship has not yet involved in large-scale shipping in the Pacific Ocean, and its main business in Shanghai is only in fire administration and marine insurance.
"Could it be that I'm just stuck in front of their plans?"
Then Han Huaiyi remembered his request to the Japanese.
Will the installation of a Taiwanese dock in New Rome and the requirement for rubber and tin ore touch Swire even more?
Han Huaiyi suddenly vaguely grasped something, by the way, he also has his own container patent!
Any company trying to get involved in shipping will not let go of this patent, but Swire & Co. is not competing for container patents.
This is clearly not right.
Thinking of this, he went downstairs and made another phone call to explain some arrangements to Mamoye and Li Deli.
Then he reminded the fish who had run downstairs: "Tomorrow remember to remind me to have a meeting with Fivoli." ”
There was something spicy in his expression.
The fish was startled and couldn't help asking, "Young Master, what's wrong?" ”
"I've seen through something." Han Huaiyi said with a smile.
He felt that he was really relaxed at this moment, and an inexplicable shackle was suddenly untied.
In fact, he didn't think it before, but after unlocking it, he realized that he had ignored a huge threat for so long.
As soon as the mind goes, this product is not serious.
He turned around suddenly: "Come up, young master, I'll carry you up." ”
Yu'er jumped up happily, Han Huaiyi took the girl's two lively and powerful long legs upstairs, and forced Lai Lai's second master to carry his daughter-in-law, and Yu'er pinched him: "Zhu Bajie, you are Zhu Bajie." ”
The girl was lying on Han Huaiyi's back, and the loser felt her softness and deliberately jumped and jumped, and asked what hit him.
Then he carried the fish on his back and turned into his bedroom.
The goods held down the fish, pinched the east and touched the west, and finally asked the panicked fish: "Are you in a hurry, young master, I will obey you." ”
After saying that, he went to pull people's clothes, and the fish nervously pushed him away and ran away.
As a result, the bastard laughed behind his back, and the fish waiting to catch him was suddenly angry, and he knew that people would not run away!
To Han Huaiyi's surprise the next day, Zhu Yulin's brother-in-law Pan Minfu was waiting for him outside the door early in the morning.
Han Huaiyi wondered when he let him in, and found that this kid hadn't slept all night, and actually wrote down all the details he knew about Swire on paper in detail.
Han Huaiyi, who was about to hold a meeting today, couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.
Pan Minfu didn't have time to introduce himself yesterday, feeling that he and his sister have been dependent on each other since childhood.
Also, even in this year, how can anyone who has a little hope be anyone's aunt's wife.
Zhu Yulin, the pig's head, was good to him after marrying his sister, and spent money to send him to school so that he could learn English and other knowledge.
Then he introduced him to the coking coal business in Zhejiang and Shanghai through the road, and also bought back his cinders to go to the brick factory.
Because of his energy business, Pan Minfu is exposed to many aspects, especially shipping.
Then he came into contact with Ye Zhongxing and learned about Swire & Co. at the same time.
If you try to find out about a situation on an ad hoc basis, you will only get one-sided information.
Pan Minfu was smart enough to inquire about many things in Shanghai very early, including everything about Swire & Co.
Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.
He used to gossip around seemingly mindlessly, but today it has paid off.
After reading his eloquent introduction, Han Huaiyi finally had a clear understanding of Swire & Co.'s current business.
He was right.
Because the business situation of Swire & Co. introduced in this material completely proves his somewhat confused guess last night.
That is, its own business is indeed stuck in the next step of Swire & Co.'s shipping business.
His own demands on the Japanese also conflicted with Swire & Co.'s business.
Swire & Co., founded by Liverpudlians, officially entered the shipping industry after it acquired the Justice Steamship Company.
After the merger with the Coastal Shipping Factory, they began to grow, but their main business was carried out in the inland Yangtze River basin.
It also traded between Southeast Asia and Japan, and even set up a sugar factory in Hong Kong.
It was a behemoth of the shipping industry of the future, but it was in the 1920s that they really got into it.
After Han Huaiyi based on the development of shipping, out of the prediction of the domestic situation, he directly gave up inland small steamers and passenger transport, and directly set foot in coastal trade.
The reason why he chose this way is that smart people don't want to wallow in the mud pool.
Compared with the French Concession, the relationship between the various parties along the route is actually far more complex than in Shanghai.
In particular, the local officials of the Qing court had to eat and take cards without rules at all and do whatever they wanted.
If he had to deal with them one by one, he would be exhausted.
Han Huaiyi's choice was right, but his move was hitting a place that Swire & Co. had not laid out, and it was a mistake.
In the blink of an eye, New Rome became a powerful rookie in the coastal trade of the Far East, with few rivals.
After reading these situations, Han Huaiyi thought to himself, so it seems that the previous targeting of Bain and Devimon may really not be just because of the arrogance of foreigners towards Chinese.
He immediately made a phone call to Mitsui in front of this kid, and asked the other party very unreasonably: "Mitsui-san, Swire & Co. is doing my business, don't tell me you don't know!" ”
Mitsui Cheng shouted and grabbed the ground: "Han Sang, there is absolutely no such thing, I mean I absolutely don't know, I'll go and inquire." ”
"What about the contract you promised me, okay, see you tomorrow. As a reminder, you can take the opportunity to collude with them by the way. ”
Mitsui Cheng was anxious and yelled: "Han Sang, what do you mean!" ”
"You call again!"
Mitsui Achievement is no longer called.
Han Huaiyi immediately picked up the phone and gave Fei Voli again: "Fei Voli, there is an interesting thing, let's get together at the old place today, how about two o'clock in the afternoon?" Okay, then you inform them, I'll inform Semyon and Dewitt. ”
Then he dialed out again: "Litao, tomorrow morning, a person named Pan Minfu will come to you, who is about the same age as me, well, let him be your assistant and learn from you, okay." ”
After arranging the above, Han Huaiyi took the pen and paper on the side and wrote down the monthly salary of 15 yuan to sign and handed it to Pan Minfu, he said with clear rewards and punishments: "Go back today and have a good rest, from tomorrow you will be the assistant general manager of the shipping department of the new Rome company, remember, the company's family should not mention it, and as long as you protect the collective interests, the collective will protect you." ”
