Chapter 369: Distant Thoughts

Fish farming is a very good industry, and in the same way, Li Zhongxin will also work out the matter of seafood breeding technology, not only to get this technology out, but also to carry out seafood farming in a suitable place for cultivating seafood in the future.

In the future, China will use a huge amount of seafood, especially in China's inland areas, and people will rarely be able to eat fresh seafood.

As long as the Chinese people begin to become rich, then seafood will enter the people's table.

At this time, engaging in seafood farming is not a horse race, but for the sake of Zhongxin's grocery supermarket chain to have fresh seafood to sell to the Chinese people in the future.

In the future, the development direction of the Zhongxin grocery supermarket chain is to diversify its operations, and the fresh food department will occupy a large proportion.

In terms of fresh food, if we can have our own base to supply, we will have more advantages than other large supermarkets in terms of quality and price of goods in the future.

People take food as the day, after people begin to have money in the future, the requirements for eating and drinking are far more than other aspects, once the company has such an advantage, it has great benefits for the brand image of the company.

If seafood farming can be promoted on a large scale, then in the future, there will not be an embarrassing situation in which there is no fish in the offshore waters and a large amount of seafood in the offshore waters.

In the case of seafood farming, it must be completed by the sea, and Li Zhongxin has an idea that in the next twenty or thirty years, the ocean business will be a very profitable industry, and Zhongxin Company must engage in the ocean business in the next two years.

What about the business of Sino-Ocean! Li Zhongxin also has several ideas, one is the oil transportation industry, at this time, what industry is the most profitable, the oil transportation industry.

As long as it is something that has something to do with oil, it will be a profiteering industry in the future.

After Li Zhongxin plans to make a fortune in the Tokyo stock market, he will order some cruise ships in Tokyo to do oil transportation.

An oil tanker is a type of ship that is specially used to transport oil, refined oil products, and their derivatives.

At this time, Li Zhongxin saw through the summary of global oil transportation given to him by Kutsui that there were only a few hundred large and small oil tankers of various types in the world.

These cruise ships are the main means of transportation for transporting oil, which modern industrial society depends on, from various production areas in the world to various countries in need.

What is the largest ship in the world? That's the tankers.

The first oil tankers appeared in 1869 when Captain Evan Tolfsen of Norway converted a tank on his three-masted schooner, the Linsons.

In 1886, the British ship "Glukauw" was a real oil tanker. By this century, as oil became an indispensable raw material for modern industry, tankers were being built more and more and bigger.

As a special-purpose oil tanker, it is divided into many different types according to the different cargo, forming a large family of oil tankers. The most important members of the tankers are crude oil tankers.

Generally, the deadweight of crude oil tankers is more than tens of thousands of tons, and the average weight of super tankers is about 280,000 tons. The hulls of modern tankers are designed with a double-hull, which can reduce oil leakage in the event of a reef accident and shipwreck, which can cause large-scale pollution.

Due to the huge hull of the tanker, the center of gravity of the tanker after unloading is very high, so ballast water must be added to the empty tanker to ensure safety.

In order to ensure that ballast water does not pollute the ocean, the ballast tanks and oil tanks of modern tankers are set up separately.

In addition to crude oil tankers, product tankers and liquefied gas carriers are the other two main members of the tanker family. The volume of product tankers is smaller than that of crude oil tankers, and the carrying capacity of general product tankers is only 1~50,000 tons, which is mainly used to transport aviation kerosene, oil and gasoline, etc., and the general voyage is shorter.

Liquefied gas carriers are divided into liquefied petroleum gas ships and liquefied natural gas carriers. They are specialized vessels that require a very high safety factor. LPG ships are required to be transported at high pressure or a low temperature of 50°C.

After the 70s, with the advancement of shipbuilding technology, the largest liquefied gas carriers had a volume of up to 120,000 cubic meters. Scientists from the United States and Canada came up with the idea of designing an underwater tanker. This underwater tanker has a diving depth of 210 meters and a deadweight of not less than 300,000 tons.

It is believed that underwater tankers are more economical than tankers and oil pipelines, and are not affected by sea storms, dense fog, ice.

Li Zhongxin felt that in a few years, he must start to get involved in oil transportation and set up a professional oil transportation company.

What about this oil shipping company! The company should not make unilateral individual investments, but should turn the oil transportation company into a large joint-stock company, and bring oil tycoons and people with a certain influence in the world into the company, and only in this way will the company develop in the long run.

What about this oil transportation industry! If you want to do it, it will take a certain amount of time, and it will not be able to be achieved overnight.

Li Zhongxin decided to build a company overseas, rather than build a company in China, because Li Zhongxin knew very well that in many things, he was a little white man, and the difference between him and the interest groups that would gradually emerge in the future of the country was absolutely heaven and earth, and he had to control such a risk.

What Li Zhongxin thought at this time was that oil transportation should also be carried out, and other businesses in the shipping industry should also be carried out.

In the next 20 years, the shipping industry will usher in rapid development, which can be said to be a golden 20 years.

In later generations, although Li Zhongxin had nothing to do with the shipping industry and did not pay attention to this news in his daily life, he knew better than anyone in the world today what the development of the world shipping market would look like in the next 20 years.

In a few years, China's economy will develop rapidly, forming a leader in developing countries, and the total volume of China's imports and exports will continue to increase exponentially in just a dozen years.

China's total foreign trade with the rest of the world will reach a terrifying figure.

In a few years, China will be the country with the largest container demand and iron ore imports.

Li Zhongxin did not know anything else, but in later generations, most of the world's iron ore was bought by China to make steel, and China ranked first in the world in terms of steelmaking volume and was the world's largest steel exporter.

Since then, China's port throughput has ranked first in the world, whether it is oil or iron ore, China's ports are very prosperous.

The idea that the shipping industry should be started first has always been lingering in Li Zhongxin's mind, after all, so many countries in the world, and the most important trade with China is through sea transportation.

In a few years, after China gradually develops, countless goods will be exported to all corners of the world, and the shipping industry will usher in a new place.

Ocean transportation, also known as "international ocean cargo transportation", is the most important mode of transportation in international logistics.

It refers to a way of using ships to transport goods between ports in different countries and regions through sea lanes, and is the most widely used in international cargo transportation.

More than two-thirds of the total international trade volume, about 90% of China's total import and export freight is transported by sea.

Li Zhong is even more confident that in the next few decades, great changes have taken place in the environment for the development of the world economy, the center of the world economy has begun to shift to the Asia-Pacific region, and the development of the world economy will also set off a new upsurge on the western Pacific coast, and further strengthening the development of regional economies and multinational groups will provide favorable conditions for the construction of China's ports and the development of the maritime industry.
