Don't be so surprised, right? Zhang Lan looked innocent and threw the fish-like father from the water to the shore, as if what he said was such a trivial thing, "In 96. The total tonnage of all our fishing boats in China has reached 600 tons, and my 10 tons are nothing. ”

On the contrary, relying on the advantages of a large number of people and a long coastline, China ranks first in the world in terms of the number of fishing boats, the number of fishermen employed, and the total tonnage of fishing boats, which is fully double that of Russia, which is in second place -- the total tonnage of Russia's fishing fleet in '96 was a little more than 3 million tons. "Where are you going to buy these boats?" Zhang Zongjun finally remembered this question, "30 large-scale comprehensive processing fishing boats are not something that can be done by one or two shipyards, how many years does it take to build?" "Khan, why is it the same question that Xiao Chenxi asked just now? Zhang Lan was depressed in her heart, "We don't plan to hand over these ships to a shipyard for construction." Isn't it easy to get these things done? Open bidding, don't we have a press conference the day after tomorrow, and then take this opportunity to release the news and open bidding for the world's shipyards that have the ability to undertake the construction of such a super-large and comprehensive shipyard. The total value of such a 30-year-old comprehensive large fishing vessel should be about $2, and now that the economy is so sluggish, I don't think any shipyard will let go of this opportunity. ”

"That's right," Zhang Zongjun nodded when he heard Zhang Lan's plan: for this press conference, the company has been preparing for a long time, and the media that came to participate in this press conference are also the most famous media in the world, and it is indeed the best choice to take this opportunity to release this news. The most important point is that it also saves the trouble of spending advertising money, which is really a lot of money.

"In my opinion, it is better to do this, since we have decided to set up a logistics company before, and now we are ready to build such a fishing fleet with a total tonnage of 100,000 gross tons, then we might as well make it bigger." Alice thought for a moment, "Well, we took this opportunity to also be involved in the ocean shipping industry. ”

Zhang Zongjun and Yang Zhi glanced at each other speechlessly: Okay, a few little guys can toss one by one, this one just said that he wants to set up a fishing fleet, and the one who is about to get involved in the ocean shipping industry, according to Alice's temperament, it is definitely not a matter of not doing it, since you want to do it, you have to do your best. I don't know how big Alice wants to do in this ocean shipping industry, but there is one point, which is definitely not small.

Alice didn't care what Zhang Zongjun and Yang Zhi were thinking, and said her thoughts to herself, "I recently missed the information, because of the impact of the Southeast Asian financial crisis last year, the world shipping industry is generally sluggish. But we can also see that even under the impact of the Southeast Asian financial crisis, China's economy has maintained a fairly high growth rate.

Based on this, we can predict that within two or three years, with the high-speed exhibition of China's economy and the high demand for external resources brought about by the high-speed exhibition of China's economy, the world shipping industry will usher in an unprecedented period of high-speed exhibition. ”

"Moreover, we are now involved in the world's ocean shipping industry, and there is one of the biggest advantages," Alice said with a smile here, "Now because of the impact of the Southeast Asian financial crisis, the shipbuilding industry of South Korea and Japan, which is one of the world's four largest shipbuilding countries, has suffered a heavy blow. Now these shipyards can only rely on bank loans to survive a difficult life, begging grandpa all day long to sell the ship in their hands in order to relieve the company's financial pressure. This is not only the case in Asia, but also in the financial crisis in Southeast Asia, and several major shipbuilding companies in Europe are now having a very hard time. As long as they can sell these ships in their hands, they are willing to sell the ships at cost price or even at a loss, so as to get the funds back as soon as possible. If we are going to get involved in the world's ocean shipping industry, now is the perfect time to take advantage of this opportunity. ”

Listening to Alice saying this, Zhang Lan was listening to it on the side, which was called a sweat! From the second half of 1997 to the end of 1998, the world's ocean shipping industry has been in a state of malaise and contraction, and the world's major shipyards seem to have been stripped of the last pair of underwear in winter.

But after 1999, everything began to change, and the strong rise of China's economy seemed to install a strong motivation for the world's ocean shipping industry, along with the take-off of China's economy, China's demand for external resources increased and foreign trade grew strongly

The ocean shipping industry ushered in a decade-long golden exhibition, and T knew what would happen in the future, but one thing Zhang Lan knew was that until the year he was reborn, the world's ocean shipping industry was still in a period of continuous rise. According to the trend of China's economic exhibition, the world shipping industry will have a very prosperous life at least in the next 30 years from now.

All this is thanks to China's foreign import and export trade, strong demand for external energy and mineral resources. If you are now involved in the world ocean shipping industry. It's a good time.

"Really? What do you think, son? "Given the amazing business talent and forward-looking strategic vision that Zhang Lan has always shown for business, I am ashamed. In fact, Zhang Lan was just stained with the light of rebirth. Knowing what the trend of historical development is, Zhang Zongjun habitually asked his son.

"It's a good idea, indeed." Zhang Lan nodded. "At this point. I agree with Sister Alice. Now is the best time to take advantage of the downturn in the world's ocean shipping industry to intervene in this industry. It's like the stock market. Now is truly the best time to get to the bottom of the ground. A closer look at the world's ocean shipping industry will emerge. Although the world's ocean shipping industry is sluggish. But China's ocean shipping industry is really thriving. Don't say anything else. Let's talk about our China Ocean Shipping Group: China Ocean Shipping (Group) Corporation. Although the world's ocean shipping industry is in a depression due to the impact of the Southeast Asian financial crisis. But with the help of the domestic economy high-speed exhibition. At a time when the world's ocean shipping industry is in a downturn. COSCO Group is still in the midst of a high-speed exhibition. ,

I think. Thanks to our excellent cooperative relationships with the central management as well as with the Alice Group and major companies around the world. Those things that need to be transported by ocean. As long as we don't make strategic mistakes in our business strategy. Engage in the ocean shipping industry. There will definitely be no profit or loss! ”

"Oh." Zhang Zongjun nodded. "So which one do you think we should get involved in first?"

"Not to get involved in that piece first. It's about being fully involved. Zhang Lan clenched her fists. Passenger and cargo ro-ro ships, ore carriers, container ships, ocean transport tankers, bulk carriers. All ships that have a relationship with ocean shipping. We all have to have it. And if you want to do it, you have to build a big ship. It's not fun to engage in small boats. It has to be the kind of land that is more than 10,000 tons. Or even say. More than 10,000 tons are, of course, a bit small. It should be mainly more than 100,000 tons of land. Less than 10 tons is supplemented. I reckon. Sister Alice thinks so too. ”

"That's exactly what I thought." Alice nodded.

"My God," Zhang Zongjun exclaimed, "How many ships do you need for this?" And how much do these ships cost? ”

"Sister Alice, since you came up with this plan," Zhang Lan turned her head to Alice, "Then what are you going to do?" Tell me about it? ”

"Now that we're just getting started, let's not make it too big." Alice said.

Zhang Zongjun nodded, it was prudent at first, not to make it too big, it really made sense.

Who would have thought that Alice, this girl, had also learned to speak and gasp, "I think that at the beginning, our ocean shipping group company has a transportation capacity of 10 million gross tons, which is about the same, basically all the ultra-large container ships, ultra-large oil tankers, and various bulk carriers, ore ships and other ship types used in ocean transportation can be covered, I roughly estimated that the purchase of 1000 gross tons of various types of ships, plus the fishing fleet that Zhang Lan said before, at the current international ship purchase price, The total cost will not exceed $3 billion, which is not much. As he spoke, he turned to the crowd and asked, "What do you think?" ”

$3 billion?! Zhang Lan didn't feel anything, but Zhang Zongjun couldn't help but roll his eyes: How do you feel like saying 30 yuan, and 3 billion US dollars will be thrown out? Converted into RMB, that's almost 25 billion!

"No problem," Xiao Chenxi and Zhang Lan nodded their heads, "That's it." ”

"I don't have a problem either." Seeing that his son and daughter and Alice all agreed with this matter, Yang Zhi thought about it, in addition to spending a little more money on this matter, there didn't seem to be any major problems, and nodded in agreement.

"This is a big matter, and it is estimated that this project needs to be approved by the State Council," Zhang Zongjun said cautiously, "We need to make a detailed project plan." Zhang Zongjun's meaning was already agreed.

"Okay, since Mom and Dad don't have any opinions, then the matter is settled." Zhang Lan yawned and looked up at her watch, "It's past twelve o'clock, hurry up and go to sleep." ”

Everyone looked up and immediately sweated: Isn't it, it's not just 12 o'clock now, it's close to 1 o'clock in the morning! I didn't say anything, hurry up and wash up and go to sleep!
