It's not that Fan Yang is in a hurry, but he has to be in a hurry.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, I ran all the way out.

He has to rush over to take a look at this season's persimmons when the persimmons are ripe and the persimmons are frosted, and if he misses it, he will have to wait for next year.

A small persimmon is something that ordinary people can easily ignore, but in Fan Yang's opinion, it is extremely important.

Again, this thing will be labeled as a "National Geographic Iconic Product" in the future.

The local cheap price can be the international high price, which can be called perfect in the definition of foreign trade products.

There are also Korean Yeongam frozen cakes.

He wants to get the frozen cake into his industrial base before the Koreans, and sell it to Europe.

The timing of rebirth was also very coincidental, and it was reborn in 92.

In 92, many great things happened, many were remembered, but there were still many that were not famous, but they were of great significance.

For example, after the Southern Tour of 92, on December 1, 92, China officially announced its accession to the United Nations Convention on International Multimodal Transport.

This is a way for China's accession to the World Trade Organization.

It is also an important measure of China's reform and opening up.

Economic development has also reached this point.

And what is international multimodal transport?

Three words, container.

After the Second World War, the bipolar pattern of the world was formed, and for a long time, to be precise, from 1945 to 1982, the world's transportation routes were broken.

If you want to sell your car to Europe, it is very difficult, and you have to take the sea route.

If you want to enter China's East China Sea and South China Sea, there is no way, and the Diaoyu Islands will not let you enter.

The goods loaded from Kyushu are out of the Okinawa Trough, and they have to go around to the Philippines to reach Singapore, Malaysia, and Sumatra Island.

Sumatra, and Malaysia, there is a strait in the middle, which is the Strait of Malacca.

So this place has a lot of pirates, a lot of ships, it's easy to rob, and it's easy to dock.

Through the Strait of Malacca, through the Bay of Bengal, to Saudi Arabia, from the Arabian Sea to the Gulf of Aden, into the Red Sea, through the Suez Canal, to the Mediterranean, to enter Europe.

Thousands of mountains and rivers are not enough to describe, it is simply a small half circle around the earth.

Or head north, Alaska, cross the Bering Strait, and take a walk around the Arctic Ocean.

Passing through dozens of countries along the way, it takes two or three months to run a trip, and you have to change ports four or five times, and those who run ships know that making money at sea is purely fighting for their lives.

God has to reward you for food.

There's no way, there's a road, but I won't let you go.

These two roads, one in Russia and one in China.

And it's a railway, it's very convenient, the track doesn't change, Beijing has direct access to Moscow, Moscow has direct access to Germany, there is direct access to Northern Europe, Norway, Finland, the United Kingdom, Italy, all kinds of old capitalist powers, or the newly rising Nordic high-welfare developed countries, can be reached.

It's the Eurasian Land Bridge.

Both China and Russia were opened to traffic during the Republic of China.

But I just won't let you go.

Therefore, the United States and Russia have been fighting for so many years, and they have never been able to get by.

The Asia-Pacific strategy that the US imperialist has been leading is not actually that he has to interfere, it is not impossible to build it, and the former Soviet Union has done everything possible to make the neck of the Kamei imperialists, especially energy, oil in the Middle East, if you don't build an island chain, you can't transport it, and the ship won't let you run.

It's the same with China.

After all, Nixon visited China in '72, and China and the United States formally established diplomatic relations in '79.

On this basis, there is the rapid development of the Asian Tigers.

Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Ben all benefited from this Cold War pattern.

Open free ports, bonded zones, let ships dock, refuel, carry out entrepot trade, multilateral trade, in the form of international transit stations, participate in the international division of labor.

Coinciding with the post-World War II economic recovery, the vigorous development of high technology, the heavy industrial system of modern industry, the rapid globalization of the economy, the shrinking of geographical scope, and the acceleration and frequency of trade.

Trade is inseparable from transportation.

And how to transport it has become the most important question.

In the 60s, the United States imperialism and a series of capitalist countries of the European Union have already carried out international multimodal transport, that is, containers.

What are the characteristics of containers?

First of all, it is convenient to manage and strictly investigate smuggling.

For example, goods exported to China, such as automobiles, are shipped from Yokohama, Japan to Chengdu, Sichuan.

First of all, I counted the goods at the customs of this book, there was a special supervision, watching you load, you said that my cost was too high, and I wanted to make a wooden frame and throw it on the ship, no, load the container.

It's ready for you to weld to death, lock, and seal.

Depart, enter the Yellow Sea from the East China Sea and arrive at Lianyungang, Jiangsu.

Unload the goods in Lianyungang and transfer to the railway.

So, do you want to repack it again?

No, just lift the container and install it on the trailer of the fourth bridge.

Transport from the seaport to the railway station.

It is then installed on the carrying end of the train.

It won't be opened in between, because there is a customs seal.

This is called: sea-road-rail three-modal transport.

There is also sea, land and air trimodal transport.

The containers are all standard.

There are standard snaps underneath.

On the ship can be overlapped, the seaport to the railway station, need to turn to the road, then the car comes, directly installed on the trailer, can be quickly clamped, fixed.

The same is true for the road to the railway, and it can be loaded and unloaded with a boom.

So in Hong Kong movies, there are so many terminals and containers.

There is no one of the four giants in Hong Kong, who does not participate in shipping, and there are several major ship kings, who will develop in shipping when they become bigger.

In the 80s, the United Nations led the signing of the United Nations Convention on International Multimodal Transport in Neiva, which formulated the rules.

All containers in countries that are party to this convention must be built in accordance with international standards.

China officially joined in 92, which was the first era of profiteering in international trade.

Since the beginning of 92, as soon as China's foreign trade has been liberalized, the economy of the Asian four tigers, in addition to the book, the other three tigers have once come to a standstill, and they have been looking for economic transformation.

It has a great impact on shipping and re-exports, and as soon as China starts entrepot trade, they have almost nothing to do.

If there is a road to go, who will run the boat?

China's Eurasian land bridge, starting from Lianyungang, passing through Xuzhou, Zhengzhou, through Anhui, Henan, to Shaanxi, Xi'an.

If the southeast coast is a bridgehead open to the outside world, it is an arm-like existence.

Then Shaanxi is located in the hinterland of China and is the heart of China.

The main artery of traffic.

Starting from Xi'an, passing through Gansu, Lanzhou, Hexi Corridor, exiting the customs from Xinyi's Alashankou, arriving at Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and the five Central Asian countries, and then passing through the Transcaucasian Federation, arriving in Ukraine and Poland.

Keep walking, in the past it was France, Germany, England, Italy.

Up there are Sweden, Finland, Norway, and Northern Europe.

Further on, there are Iceland, the Netherlands, and the world's largest port, Rotterdam.

China's land bridge is more than 2,000 kilometers closer than Russia's Siberian land bridge.

It takes more than half a month to shorten it compared with sea freight.

And there's nothing risky.

Among them, Xi'an, Gansu, Xinjiang, to the five countries of Central Asia, to this land bridge to Europe.

And one more name.

It's called the Silk Road.

Since the Tang Dynasty, China has had large-scale trade with European countries, Rome, Athens, and Greece.

It's all from this road.

During the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He went to the West, which was the Maritime Silk Road.

Since ancient times, it has been the lifeblood of economy and trade, synonymous with gold and wealth.

The history and humanities are extremely thick.

And what about modern times?

From Xi'an, to Lanzhou, and then to Xinyan, the Longhai Railway, the Lanzhou-Singapore Railway, the Northern Xinjiang Railway, and the parallel rail connect Kazakhstan, the five Central Asian countries, and finally reach Rotterdam in the Netherlands.

It is the second land bridge in Eurasia.

Also called the modern Silk Road.

The large-scale development of the western region is the place where it was built.

The Belt and Road Initiative.

Belt is a national-level strategic development direction, from east to west, horizontal development, connecting the five Central Asian countries, the Silk Road Economic Belt.

The road is the modern and maritime Silk Road.

Engaged in import and export trade, Fan Yang of the previous life was in the north and was more familiar with the first land bridge, which is the one in Russia, the Siberian Land Bridge.

China, I know, but I run less.

I don't know the specific policy, whether it has been liberalized.

The opportunity is right, and Fan Yang doesn't mind trying the water.

Pull a container of goods first, it doesn't have to be too complicated, from Zhejiang to get some small commodities, small household appliances, and then some local products, persimmons, oranges, canned food, Turpan raisins, to France for some perfume, Germany to buy a few lathes, Italy, well, pure tourism, forget it, explore the road first.

Take your time.

The army car was driving very fast, Fan Yang was tired for days, and when he woke up, the army had parked the car on the side of the road.

Everyone got out of the car to pee.

Fan Yang rubbed his eyes and saw a dark tunnel in front of him.

Behind it is an unusually majestic mountain.

I couldn't help but ask, "Where are you?"

"It's time to turn off the chessboard. ”
