Chapter 46 Biological Cleaners
Looking at the ledger in front of him, Zhou Tian was worried. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Nima!
How so?
The cargo ship was parked there, motionless, and with the cost of labor, it lost $130,000 a day on Sunday. If the ship starts, the messy costs such as oil damage and labor will add up to the loss, and the loss will be 1.2 million US dollars a day on Sunday.
It's nothing in one trip, but it can't be transported many times.
Ten times of cumulative losses of 12 million US dollars, if you continue to lose like this, Zhou Tian will soon go bankrupt.
So he had to find a way not to lose money.
In fact, many cargo ships are transported in both directions. The so-called two-way transportation is when you set off for your destination, loaded with a shipload of goods. On the way back to the destination, the ship was loaded with a full load of goods, and it was not running empty back and forth.
However, there are exceptions, such as oil tankers and live fish transporters, because they are transporting special items, so they are all single loaded, and most of them are returned empty.
Oil is profitable, and one-way transportation is naturally not a problem, but Sunday's Asian carp cannot be compared with the profiteering oil.
So if he wants to turn a profit, he has to turn one-way transportation into two-way transportation.
Turning one-way transportation into two-way transportation is easy to say, but difficult to do.
Many trucking companies, especially oil carriers, have been developing materials for the removal of oil residues for a long time, but the results have been unsatisfactory.
Either the effect is not good, or the cost is too high, but the removal of the waste residue will form secondary pollution to the environment.
Because of this incident, an oil transportation company in the United States has also received a huge fine from the environmental department, and has even been blocked by animal protection groups to protest.
Therefore, many freight companies have stopped detergent research.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Tian, who couldn't think of the results, turned on the computer in front of him and searched for news related to detergent research on it.
There is a lot of news on the computer about the research of detergents, without exception, these news are from five years ago, and their phone numbers are still on them.
Zhou Tian rubbed his temples with his hands, grabbed the phone, and called the phone number on the news.
These calls either indicate that they have been shut down or that they are empty.
Not all phones are like this, and some phones can still be connected, but these calls have either become hotel payphones or catering establishments.
What's more, there is a phone number that has actually become a public relations phone number in the wind and rain place, Zhou Tian called, and the bustard thought that Zhou Tian was a guest, and recommended their girl here.
Zhou Tian hung up the phone with a wry smile, and then made the last call.
The phone was quickly connected, and to Zhou Tian's delight, the voice on the other end of the phone, "Hello, Vantone Technology Co., Ltd. front desk, what is the matter with you?" ”
In addition to this, what made Zhou Tian even more excited was that the front desk that answered the phone turned out to be in Huaxia.
In combination with the name of Vantone, Zhou Tian was quickly relieved that this was a Huaxia company or a company controlled by Huaxia people.
It is estimated that the front desk lady reacted, and there was a less proficient English repeating what she had just said.
Zhou Tian smiled and replied in Huaxia: "I asked about the tanker cleaner. ”
The front desk lady was obviously stunned for a moment, and quickly replied: "Sir, I didn't expect you to know Huaxia." ”
A black line appeared on Zhou Tian's face, and he said in his heart: I am from Huaxia, so I can naturally speak Huaxia. He cleared his throat and said, "Madam, I am from Huaxia." ”
"Sir, you are from Huaxia, and we are fellow countrymen. Great, let me introduce you to our company, Vantone is a technology company specializing in the removal of biopharmaceuticals from oil tanker residues, the company has been engaged in ...... for ten years The address of our company is in ......, and you can come to the company for inspection if it is convenient. ”
Zhou Tian looked at the address that the little girl said, it was only three hundred kilometers away from where he was now, and if he drove at the highway, it would take him less than two hours to arrive, so he nodded and agreed.
He probably didn't know that when he called the front desk of Vantone, a meeting was going on in the conference room of Vantone about the future and destiny of the company.
Vantone Company was first founded by two people, one is called Wan Bo and the other is called Tong Yulong, and the company is also named after the surnames of the two of them.
After the establishment of the company, it has been conducting research on biological cleaning agents for ten years, but because the effect is not too obvious, the sales of the products they produce are not too ideal, and the company is losing money almost every year.
Therefore, Tong Yulong, one of the company's shareholders, proposed that instead of continuing to research less mature biological cleaners, it is better to take advantage of the current situation, sell the research results, and then go their separate ways.
Tong Yulong is right, after all, people have to live, and the losses that have lasted for many years have made them unable to hold on.
Wan Bo is opposed to this decision, Vantone is like their child, but he also knows the current situation of his company, because of the lack of salary, many employees have jumped ship and resigned.
In desperation, he had no choice but to let his cousin, who had just come to the United States from Huaxia to visit relatives, temporarily play the role of a front desk waiter.
Tong Yulong looked at Wan Bo, with a wry smile on his face, and laughed at himself: "Your sister-in-law has been with me for eight years, and she will get married at the end of the year, but I can't even afford a wedding ring, and I don't want her to ......." ”
"Yulong, the development of biological cleaners has reached the most critical point, as long as we insist on it, we will succeed." Wan Bo stared at a pair of red eyes and said, "At that time, we will have money, and you can also buy a diamond ring for your sister-in-law, buy a big house, buy a sports car, ......." ”
"Success?" Tong Yulong muttered the word in his mouth, suddenly laughed, and then pointed to their office and said loudly: "Lao Wan, wake up, look at our company, from the very beginning of the Wells Building, hundreds of employees, to the current residential area, three employees, one of whom is still a cousin who does not earn a salary. ”
"Yulong, bio-based cleaners are cross-generational, if successful, we will be famous for eternity, this is a great event for the benefit of all mankind." Wan Bo continued to persuade Tong Yulong.
This company, it is precisely because of Tong Yulong that Wan Bo can grit his teeth and persist all the time.
In fact, Tong Yulong is not the spiritual pillar of Wanbo!
Wan Bo is also an indispensable and reliable partner of Tongyulong!
The relationship between the two of them, like Meng Liang and Jiao Zhan in ancient China, is indispensable.
"Lao Wan, biological cleaners are a super problem in biological history, even if we have done preliminary research, but have you considered secondary pollution? With the case of the American and Canadian oil companies, do you guess those oil companies dare to use our cleaners? Tong Yulong sighed suddenly and said, "No, because of the use of our products, they are very likely to be heavily fined......." ”
The case of the US-Canada Oil Company he mentioned was fined $300 million by the environmental department because the waste residue produced by the detergent cleaning tanker caused secondary pollution to the environment.
