The spark of interest generated by the collision of ideas between people made everyone present excited.

Everyone was thinking that the Qing court would give money, Wei Yungong would get some technology, and New Rome would get a brand new ship at the price of a semi-finished product.

There must be a huge price difference in the middle, and we have a clear conscience when we earn!

Jason even came up with a sentence: "If the market can, we can even buy semi-finished ships and process them and sell them!" ”

This is the mindset of a car dealer.

When Han Huaiyi heard this, he immediately despised him and said: "Jason, do you want to increase our competitors, we should be firmly stuck in the channel of entering the ship, occupy the transportation market share in Shanghai, and always let the opponent only choose us." ”

Well, Jason smiled wryly and said nothing.

Han Huaiyi then emphasized: "Everyone, please remember that we must be the setter of shipping and transportation prices, not the mud legs of every ship to bargain with the cargo owner. ”

"The one who sets the price?" Merlot didn't seem to understand.

Han Huaiyi waved his hand: "Think about it, the freight price of our shipping order is clearly marked, and we are not greedy when we ask for it." And they have no choice but us. Then in the future, the ships in the port of Shanghai will be cruise ships under the banner of New Rome, how strong we should be by that time! ”

The foreigners were shocked when they heard his picture of the prospect of the new Roman shipping line.

Yes, if that were the case, what kind of wealth would we have?

Hartung asking to see? Retire!

Han Huaiyi gave them time to digest and said with a smile: "I still have an idea. ”

"What's the idea?"

"You have to make sure that your friend's shipyard and our New Rome, as well as Wei Yungong's shipyard, are the only partners in Asia. And they don't have to compete with us for the Asian market, that's what I say. ”

The Asian market, I damn it, this name is very exciting, Melo hurriedly said: "I can guarantee it." ”

"Integrated transport modes for large-scale shipping."

Han Huaiyi's mind flashed the container model of the later generations, and then the goods were bought: "But it's not interesting to talk about it, now that everyone is fine, let's go to Wei Yungong's side to explain it on the spot, how about it." ”

He immediately called Wei Yungong.

Han Huaiyi obviously went to cheat dinner and take advantage of foreigners, but what this liar said was: "Brother Yungong, get ready for dinner, I talked to Mr. Merlot for you, and he will persuade the people from the Marseille shipyard to send you technical support, big brother, you have to make meritorious contributions in front of Xiang Shuai." ”

However, Han Huaiyi is not a nonsense, because the technical support of Marseille Shipyard must be quite powerful for the development of Jiangnan Dockyard.

Wei Yungong immediately went crazy when he heard this, he put down the phone and said to Wei Litao: "Nephew, go and order food!" It must be a good drink! ”

The general office of the hall, the upstart of foreign affairs, immediately excitedly circled around the room.

Oh, my brother Huaiyi, you are truly my lucky star!

The thought in his heart that he was a little unhappy because of Han Huaiyi's intercession for Ye Zhongxing had completely disappeared.

After experiencing the play during the day, a few families were happy and a few were sad.

When Ye Zhongming got Han Huaiyi's promise to teach his younger brother who was completely dead, Le Hengming was looking at the sky through the window in prison, and the wails of the people in Gaojiazhuang were still echoing in his ears.

Compared with them, the Jiangnan Dockyard that night was unprecedentedly lively.

Western-style affairs, no foreigners are considered Western-style affairs.

Looking at the scene of those concave and high-nosed foreigners laughing with the general office.

The workers who were already repairing the Birmingham for New Rome were looking more at the young man among them, because it was Charlie Han, who was thirty in his life.

But Han Huaiyi and the others quickly returned indoors.

Because some things need to be more specific.

Container.

After he said the word and drew the drawings, he pointed to the Birmingham outside as an example and asked them: "In the business provided by Jason, we must first move the messy cotton and linen into the inner warehouse for reinforcement, and then ask for manual transportation to transport it out after we arrive at the shore, how much labor and time does it take?" ”

Han Huaiyi immediately used a desktop to represent the ship, and a stack of books to represent the container.

He asked Wei Yungong: "The dockyard crane can lift a ten-ton box." ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, Han Huaiyi put down the books one by one: "Only 50 boxes of 500 tons of goods need to be stacked, and then they can be taken down by crane after arriving at the place." ”

"What if there is no crane at the destination?" Mellot was shocked by the mode of transport he proposed ahead of the times, but sensitively grasped the key points asked.

Han Huaiyi said without hesitation: "If you don't have it, build it!" How much does a crane cost? ”

Then he said: "After we have a stable business, we also have to rent the terminal area at the destination and let the management personnel put the goods into the container in advance. Wait for the boat to arrive and get on the boat and head to your next destination. How much time is omitted from this, and it adds up over time, even if it is only one more trip a year on average, five boats are five times! According to the profit of almost two hundred taels in this list, did the money come back immediately? ”

Jason was excited, and said: "Not only that, but the number and variety of cargo that can be loaded on the 3,000-ton Birmingham will increase in this way, and we can carry at least two orders in one ship!" You can even coordinate the time to accumulate three orders and transport them together! ”

"Of course." Han Huaiyi smiled: "In this way, we can also lower the price and strive for more business." ”

Melo also reacted at this moment, and he put forward a better idea: "The chief officers of the container terminals in various places are also our business undertakers, they report the destination of the order by telegram and the headquarters, and we organize the navigation route according to the destination, and turn it one stop after another!" In this way, a boat may be able to receive ten orders of short-distance freight along the way. ”

But Han Huaiyi's pattern is bigger than him, and his thinking is clearer.

He immediately picked up a pen and wrote down on the paper the terminals, container front and back yards, empty container distribution centers, transit yards and other link phrases.

Then he pointed to this mature one-stop transportation chain and said: "I envision a triangular transportation network from Shanghai north to Tianjin in the south to Guangzhou and Wuhan in the west, forming a triangular transportation network all over the Yangtze River and the open sea." This trunk will be completed in half a year! Its branches can still be full at any time, and within two years New Rome will become the best or even the only shipping company in Shanghai! So do you still think that I and the prospect I depict are big words? ”

"If I were a woman, I would marry you now." Kesp said suddenly.

Han Huaiyi did not forget Wei Yungong in the laughter, he told Wei Yungong about his general operation in front of Merlot, and then said: "Brother Yungong, in this way, your dock technology will also be improved, and you will not have to worry about business within two years, and at the same time, you will also start the signboard of Jiangnan Shipyard." I'd just ask you to say something about the layout of our cargo terminal in front of Xiang Shuai at that time? ”

Han Huaiyi said so much before, Wei Yungong thought to himself, where is this asking me for help, this is obviously Han Huaiyi helping me.

Although Han Huaiyi can also benefit himself because of this, but people can't take the initiative to find anyone?

Wei Yungong immediately patted his chest and said: "Huaiyi, don't worry, when you make the layout of the dock in New Rome, I will go with Xiangshuai wherever you want, and whoever dares to play tricks with you in the local area, I will definitely clean them up!" ”
