In mid-February 1954, the Lunar New Year just passed.

The Jeddah Agreement has brought fame and profit to Global Shipping; many Global Shipping employees even brag everywhere, saying that their boss almost taught the Americans a lesson.

Because of this, Wu Guangyao has another nickname in Hong Kong Island, "Shad Bill Yao".

In the conference room of Global Building, Wu Guangyao grandly introduced a new vice president to shareholders and management.

"This will be the new vice president of Global Shipping in the future - John Rich, who graduated from the University of Cambridge and worked for the UK Star Shipping Company. Everyone welcomes his arrival!" After Wu Guangyao said that, he was the first to applaud and welcome Rich.

With the warm welcome from everyone, John Ritchie was very excited. He was tempted by a high salary from the beginning, and then learned about the competitiveness of Global Shipping in the industry, which made this high-end London talent secretly admire his choice.

With the rise of shipowners of Greece, Japan, and Hong Kong Island, Europe and the United States are no longer the world's shipping overlords. This is what John Rich deeply felt during this period.

John Rich stood up and said to everyone: "Hello everyone, my name is John Rich...... Global Shipping is in the process of modernization and group transformation. How to maximize the use of the company's resources, information and financial control methods so that shareholders' value can continue to grow, organizational capabilities can be continuously optimized, corporate risk governance can meet the needs, and make the company's development invincible is what I need to prepare for next. I hope I will live up to the trust of all shareholders and the expectations of all colleagues. Thank you everyone!"

John Ritchie officially became Wu Guangyao's second deputy in Global Shipping. Wu Guangyao naturally hopes that he and He Yuanzhang will complement each other, one focusing on business and the other focusing on finance; while he will focus on a general direction and decentralize his power again.

Wu Guangyao's companies will only increase, so Wu Guangyao has no energy to do everything in every company and do everything by himself, so he needs these right-hand men to share the part of the work he has taken down.

For example, in the past, Wu Guangyao went to the business and negotiated prices; now, Wu Guangyao threw all these to his two deputy and asked them to deal with them.

In this way, Wu Guangyao has more things to think about - what should come out next!

"I have an idea, I want Global Shipping to promote it all over the world. Please refer to it! Take Tokyo Port to Victoria Port as an example. It uses medium-sized cargo ships to transport dry bulk cargo, and the freight is $3 per ton. I think the freight is very expensive, so what is the reason?" Wu Guangyao said slowly.

"Even I, a shipping layman, knows that the placement of bulk cargo ships is bundled, bagged, boxed and mixed placement, which wastes space; the most important thing is that bulk ships cannot load the cargo ship at all, so the price will naturally be expensive!" Sandas said with a smile.

"There is also the bulk cargo requires a lot of manpower to load and unload, which is also a considerable cost!" Wu Guangyao added.

When the people in the conference room heard Wu Guangyao say this, they began to guess what new Wu Guangyao has made. They were very excited and curious!

What kind of person is the boss? How can the management in the conference room have principles that they don’t know;

In everyone's mind, every idea of ​​the boss has improved the global shipping a lot and brought a lot of wealth.

Wu Guangyao continued: "My idea is to develop container marine transportation. My concept is not the kind that has appeared in Europe and the United States. The concept of putting a few boxes has been in place. The operation methods of ports, ships, cranes, containers, trucks, trains and crew members must be changed. The so-called port is a special place to build container terminals. This container terminal refers to a place with clear boundaries including port pools, anchorages, inbound channels, berths and other waters, as well as freight stations, yards, dock fronts, office and living areas, and other land areas, which can accommodate a complete container loading and unloading operation process......"

Wu Guangyao said everything he understood. Anyway, there were special recorders and management staff who were in the habit of holding a meeting with a pen.

Everyone was shocked by Wu Guangyao's big plan. If this plan succeeds, it will definitely set off a craze around the world.

"Boss, this method involves too much technology and knowledge, including container design, tower crane design, and what you call 'gantry crane', etc., all of which require technical personnel to develop, so I suggest establishing a special container transportation subsidiary to be responsible for this matter." He Yuanzhang said.

The people in the conference room also agreed that the Global Shipping business was already busy enough;

This plan is too big and cannot be busy with Global Shipping now.

"Okay, then Li Ming is responsible for this subsidiary." Wu Guangyao pointed out that Li Ming is a cadre trained by Global Shipping, and of course he has a university culture.

After the meeting ended, Li Ming came to Wu Guangyao's office.

"I don't know about the structure, structure, and internal design of the container; but I think the standard size should be 8 feet wide and less than 8 feet high. For the specific structure, after you prepare the company, you will send someone to study in the United States; as for the mechanical aspects, go to Japan to find partners...... For the port matter, you will first choose the locations on both sides, and I will go to lobby for the official agreement." Wu Guangyao told Li Ming alone.

In terms of professional knowledge, Wu Guangyao may not know much more than these people; but in terms of general direction, no one in the world can compare himself to himself.

Containers are the future development trend and were already popular in the United States in the late 1950s;

It is precisely because of this that the general policy proposed by Wu Guangyao will not make any mistakes, because this has been tested by history.

Li Ming suddenly went from his former department manager to the president of a subsidiary. Although it was just a small promotion, his power increased a lot; of course, his responsibility increased a lot.

"Well, I will do my best to complete this thing that is beneficial to social progress. I will also ask my boss and the two vice presidents for advice at any time." Li Ming said modestly.

"Do you know, why do I attach so much importance to this kind of container transportation?" Wu Guangyao asked suddenly.

Li Ming blurted out without thinking: "Influence! If it were our Global Shipping and the first to advocate container marine transportation, we would increase a lot of influence."

"Haha, it seems you understand me quite well! Well, go down and prepare for a new company."

After Li Ming left, Wu Guangyao's face smug smiled. As a time traveler, there were too many benefits!

Once this plan is implemented, the transportation cost of dry bulk goods from Hong Kong Island to Japan will be reduced by more than 80%;

It will not only bring a lot of profits to Global Shipping, but will also bring a huge reputation to Global Shipping.

Of course, if Global Shipping wants to promote container marine transportation, it must invest in container terminals, which is very expensive.

Fortunately, shipping in Europe and the United States can make a lot of profits for global shipping!

Moreover, this wharf is long-lasting. If others want to develop container transportation in the future, they will definitely come to their own wharf, which will be a huge profit.

Perhaps the profits of a container terminal alone will make Global Shipping profitable;
Chapter completed!
