Hong Kong Giant Owl: Rebirth

Chapter 179 Underestimate
"Yes." William Justin showed a very helpless expression: "For example, it takes five to seven days to fully load a [-]-ton cargo ship. Not to mention the high cost, it is also a waste of time." It is because of this reason that many of our customers' goods cannot arrive as scheduled. Especially those agricultural products or food goods have a very short shelf life, and they will deteriorate if they are not careful, which will bring great losses to those customers."

Du Yiheng naturally knows this difficulty, but not only Kowloon Wharf, but also large wharves all over the world have the same problem, which has troubled them, wharf owners, and various trading companies for a long time.

Qin Haoran smiled slightly: "Mr. Jardine and Manager Du, have you ever thought about collecting these scattered goods?"

William Justin frowned and said, "That's why I said that it's a good idea for you to gather those goods in one warehouse, and we need to learn from it at the dock."

Qin Haoran shook his head: "Mr. Jardine, you have misunderstood me. Now our 'Tianma Logistics' approach is only to store goods together. This will indeed be much more convenient, but it is only limited to storage. It’s just convenient, if we use the same method for transportation, wouldn’t it be much more efficient?”

"Huh? Are you going to transport the entire warehouse together?" William Justin still couldn't turn the corner.

But Du Yiheng frowned and pondered for a while, and when he saw Qin Haoran's confident smile, a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, and a strong sense of surprise appeared on his face involuntarily.He slapped his thigh hard, and excitedly said to Qin Haoran: "Boss Qin, what do you mean, use the unified specification to gather and transport those scattered goods?"

Qin Haoran nodded with a smile, thinking that Du Yiheng is really not simple, he is much more sensitive than William Justin.

And William Justin is not a dull person after all, he immediately reacted to Du Yiheng's reminder, and he also became excited after knowing how much the efficiency of loading and unloading goods has on the operation of the terminal.

Seeing that Guanzi was almost sold, Qin Haoran said with a smile: "You two, if we make some containers with uniform specifications that are convenient for storage and transportation, and then put the scattered goods inside, wouldn't it be much more convenient?"

He fiddled with his hands a few times, made a cuboid shape in the air, and continued: "Let's call this kind of container a 'container'. The size is about six meters long, two meters wide and high. It is 24 cubic meters. You can put the goods of the same customer or the same type of goods together in it, and then transport them together. Not only scattered goods, but also some relatively large goods such as cars, furniture, etc. can be put in. This also protects the cargo from damage in transit."

Following Qin Haoran's explanation, the eyes of Du Yiheng and William Justin became brighter and brighter.

Du Yiheng said happily: "That's right, there is such a method, such a simple method, how come we can't think of it?"

He has managed the Kowloon Wharf for so many years, so he is naturally familiar with the operation of the wharf, and he also knows what kind of impact Qin Haoran's method will have on the shipping industry.

"This kind of container must be made of steel, so as to ensure its durability." Qin Haoran said with a smile: "And there is another great advantage of using containers uniformly, that is, if these containers are used to load goods, the goods will no longer It needs to be stored in the warehouse, completely in the open air, and this kind of container can be stacked and placed, and can be stacked in multiple layers, so that the space can be saved to the greatest extent, and there is no need to build a large warehouse to accommodate the goods gone."

Hearing Qin Haoran's words, Du Yiheng couldn't bear it anymore, held Qin Haoran's hands tightly, and asked excitedly: "Boss Qin, can you provide us with such a method, that kind of container, you must have It's in production."

Qin Haoran also had to be surprised by Du Yiheng's keenness, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, Manager Du, we have already bought a piece of land in Tuen Mun District, and now the factory building is under construction, and I also ordered it from Australia. With four production lines, it is believed that within two months, this kind of container can be mass-produced."

Just as William Justin next to him was about to speak, Du Yiheng took the first step and said to Qin Haoran: "Okay, Boss Qin, we've made an agreement today. We will definitely need a lot of containers at the Kowloon Wharf in the future, and I will leave them to you." , all the containers we need are provided by you.”

Qin Haoran chuckled: "Thank you, Manager Du, you are the first customer of our container production company."

"But regarding the price, Boss Qin, you have to show mercy." Du Yiheng said with a smile.

Qin Haoran also said bluntly: "Since you are the first customer of our company, Manager Du, we naturally want to offer some discounts. Just like the container of the specification just now, it's only 500 yuan a piece."

In fact, according to the current cost, the price of producing a container is about 150 to [-] Hong Kong dollars. If Qin Haoran produces such a large amount, the cost will be reduced a lot.

"Well, then it's decided. Let's make an appointment tomorrow and sign the contract." Du Yiheng said with a smile: "By the way, our Wharf company also has business relationships with some foreign terminals, and I believe they will definitely agree. You are very interested in this kind of container, and I will contact them immediately after returning to see if I can help you find a few more customers."

"Oh, I have to ask you, Manager Du." Qin Haoran said with a satisfied smile.

Seeing Qin Haoran and Du Yiheng's heated discussion, William Justin next to him was a little dissatisfied, frowned slightly and said: "Mr. Qin, this container is just a few pieces of iron sheets assembled into a big box, do you want 500 yuan?" One?"

Qin Haoran squinted his eyes and smiled, and said to William Justin: "Mr. Jardine, you don't know. It is not so simple to manufacture a qualified and durable container. First, the quality of the material must pass the test. In addition, , because it is used as a small warehouse to store goods, it must be able to withstand the wind and the sun, especially when sailing at sea, to prevent rust due to the erosion of sea water and sea wind, it is necessary to coat the surface with a layer of anti-rust material .Mr. Jardine, after such a hard work, the cost is quite a lot."

Du Yiheng also smiled and said: "Yes, William, since Boss Qin is already building a factory, he must have gone through some investigation and evaluation, and with the good relationship between Boss Qin and our Wharf company, we still need to worry that Boss Qin will cheat Can't we?"

While saying this, Du Yiheng also winked at William Justin.

Seeing Du Yiheng winking at him, although William Justin was puzzled, he still shut up rationally.

"Brother Ran, come down quickly, we all changed into our swimsuits."

After chatting with Du Yiheng for a while, Qin Haoran heard Zhou Luohong calling himself from below.

He shrugged Du Yiheng and William Justin, showed a helpless smile, and said, "You two, I'll excuse you first."

"Please." Du Yiheng smiled and made a "please" gesture to him.

After Qin Haoran left the operating desk, William Justin immediately asked Du Yiheng: "Du, why are you so impulsive and let him be our Wharf company's supplier right away? With our Jardine Group The scale of this container production company can be established immediately, and the scale must be larger than theirs."

After a pause, he continued: "Also, Du, with this kind of container, there will be a revolution in the shipping freight industry, as long as we seize this opportunity, it will be of great benefit to the development of our Wharf Company .”

After William Justin, the lamp of patience, expressed all the doubts and dissatisfaction in his heart, Du Yiheng sighed and said, "William, you just said that the appearance of this kind of container can improve the efficiency of cargo loading and unloading." Ten times or even dozens of times, it can also replace warehouses to store goods, just as you said, the emergence of this kind of container will bring a revolution to the global shipping industry."

William Justin kept nodding: "That's right, why should we give up such a good opportunity to others?"

"William, you will also say, such a good opportunity, why did Qin Haoran leak it to us, so that we have the opportunity to seize his whimsy?" Du Yiheng said lightly.

William Justin was taken aback when he heard the words, and thought, yes, with such a good idea, why did Qin Haoran leak it to us?
Just now they were only thinking about why Du Yiheng gave up such a big piece of cake to Qin Haoran, but now they remembered that this big cake was originally brought out by Qin Haoran, if it wasn't for Qin Haoran, they wouldn't even be able to see the shadow of this cake.

He looked at Du Yiheng in surprise: "Could it be that Qin Haoran told us this on purpose?"

Du Yiheng nodded slowly: "That's right, he exchanged a very beneficial suggestion for us to cooperate with us. He wanted to use our Wharf company to promote the new product of container, and at the same time, closely follow our company. Relationship."

"Hmph! Is this relationship he can tighten up if he wants?" William Justin smiled with a bit of disdain.

"William!" Du Yiheng's tone was a bit harsh: "I have told you just now that Qin Haoran must not be underestimated. Why did you tell us to learn from 'Tianma Logistics' in front of him? Isn’t that telling him that we are going to grab his business? Also, if I hadn’t spoken first just now, you might have told him that we can build our own factory to produce those containers.”

William Justin frowned and said, "So what, can he still compete with our Jardine Group with his ability?"
