Chapter 36: Reality is skinny

Studying in a business school, the so-called classmates (in fact, some small bosses) jumped up, Zhang Dong came to an almost "blind" investment.

The place where the "classmates" do business, a new development zone, because it is close to the main line railway, so, in the design, there is the idea of establishing a freight station, covering an area of not small, the planned land is about 100 acres, which is a supporting project of the development zone.

The land can be used cheaply, and the transfer fee is very low, but all the construction costs need to be paid by themselves, and the design and planning can be done by themselves, but they need to be filed in the competent department, and the cost is naturally not responsible, but the service life is extremely long, and there seems to be no limit.

Zhang Dong was happy when he heard it, he liked it too much, and he didn't want to have so many restrictions, this project had an appetite for himself, he listened to the introduction of his classmates, and stayed idle for so many days, he wanted to do something again, so his head was hot, "Let's go, go and see", that idle heart was ready to move again.

With spare money in his hand and people who are easy to be impulsive, Zhang Dong hurriedly went there.

After a rough and not exhaustive investigation, seeing that there are so many factories in the development zone, it is definitely not a problem to come to the source of goods, so he patted his thigh and "dry"!

"It's really rich", who doesn't give a thumbs up? "There is a God of Wealth", who of the locals does not think so?

Zhang Dong didn't just say it, he waved his pen, and the upfront expenses were allocated, followed by the local registration, the preparatory team, and the momentum of doing what he said touched many people.

"Courageous, big boss", hearing these praises, he smiled slightly, "Don't dare to say anything else, we are the people who do the work", he thought proudly,

In accordance with the requirements of the regular "railway freight station", in accordance with the function and division of labor of the freight station, Zhang Dong invited special railway planners to carry out the management area, receiving area, tally area, storage area, circulation processing area, sorting and distribution area, delivery area, waste disposal area and equipment maintenance temporary storage area, etc., which is composed of 10 areas.

The blueprint is very detailed, and the service function design is also very sound. He only thought that the factories in the development zone, the finished products produced or the raw materials that came in, could be transferred, stored or transported through this "railway freight station", but the only thing he did not do was a detailed demonstration of the source of goods in the market.

If it's just a simple freight station, of course, it doesn't matter, but it's just a few warehouses with loading and unloading machinery. But the key is that Zhang Dong likes to be perfect, which may be a common problem of rich people, if you don't have so much money, you don't want to do so much.

Therefore, Zhang Dong built as many houses as he had, and the functions were as complete as possible, and four or five platforms for transporting goods were repaired, but he didn't want to think about it, can your supply of goods meet the needs of such a large freight station? Even if you have a freight station, the railroad won't let you merge into the mainline. Whether or not to give you the wagons in the plan, all this has to determine the source of goods, and there is not such a large freight volume to meet the requirements of the railway. Who cares about you?

Moreover, the wealth is not all have, the factory construction in the development zone is not as fast as his, because of the financial problem, it is also intermittent start, the freight station and the local factory are connected, and the road construction in the development zone is not completely done, so it can not fully meet the requirements of production. The result is naturally that without production, there is no product, and without product, there is no supply.

The construction of the factory dragged the freight station back and brought a crisis to its future development.

The result is such a good cargo station? I can only throw it there alone and hard. It's like a palace in the middle of nowhere. Looking at this railway freight station, which has invested a lot of money and soaked in his own efforts, dozens of large warehouses, several months, and four or five special railway lines, it cannot meet the requirements of the railway because it does not have such a large cargo volume. He was very disappointed that he could not be integrated into the main line and could not be opened smoothly.

But after all, he has money in his pocket, and in the face of such a dilemma, Zhang Dong just laughed, "Let's put it aside for now, and wait for the factory to be fully established", saying so, a hundred don't care, in fact, in my heart, it is still very stinging, and I paid a lot of tuition for my blind enthusiasm.

He didn't know that he was about to meet a nobleman, and the topic that the two of them were talking about gave his "railway freight station" wings and would soon take off. Another great opportunity for him to start a business in his life? This person is none other than Chang Jianming, who came to inspect the "train" with a topic.

Hearing that Zhang Dong actually had such a fully functional freight station in his hands, Chang Jianming's eyes lit up, and he thought of his mission this time, isn't it to inspect the China-Europe train? It would be nice to have such a cargo terminal in that place as a starting point for the trains to ship and store containers.

"I suggest that you transform this freight station into a CY or CFS for shipping international containers", Chang Jianming's words made Zhang Dong dizzy,

"What is CY"?

"It's a container yard, have you ever seen a container?"

"I've seen it, it's like a house made of steel plates",

"Hehe, that's it, according to different sizes, it can be divided into two standard containers of 20 feet and 40 feet, according to what you said, your place is large enough, then you only need to add some equipment to lift containers. The place where the container is stored is called the yard or station, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is a place that specializes in handling heavy containers, empty containers, loading and unloading, transshipment, storage and handover of international containers. For shipping containers, the role of the yard is to concentrate all the customer's containers in this place, stack them first, and then load them on the ship when it comes to the cut-off time, which is called CY.

"Hey, that's a good thing, huh"? Zhang Dong's eyes also lit up,

"The size of the railway container is slightly different from that of the ship, and the appearance is the same, but the size is slightly different, because it is designed according to the railway car. But storage is simpler and more convenient than that, and customs declaration and delivery can be done in the yard. Containers are stored and shipped here, which is more conducive to railway and customs supervision. We are the starting point, according to what you said, if there is a platform that can load a train, and the train stops there, you can just transform it a little bit and turn it into a yard where you can load and unload containers, and then merge the freight line to the main railway line, which can go directly to Europe".

"That's great", thinking of his lonely freight station standing on the field, finally having a place to use, Zhang Dong was a little excited.

"Captain Chang, what do you mean by CFS"? He was desperate to know more........
