Kwai Tsing Container Terminal 10, due to its vast area and the ability to provide a large number of berths for ships, has bright future profit prospects and has naturally attracted much attention from port operating companies, whether they are local companies in Hong Kong, mainland China or even

Foreign companies, including well-known companies like the Port of Singapore Corporation.

Kuok's Shipping Group was able to win Pier 9 in 1998 largely because other companies at that time had to shrink their "fronts" and reduce expenditures due to the sudden Southeast Asian financial crisis.

Strengthen the company's ability to withstand unexpected risks. The international shipping industry has also suffered heavy losses as a result. For a long time, companies have been operating at low profits, and naturally cannot invest huge sums of money in port advice. However, they have made huge profits from the Southeast Asian financial crisis.

, and being prepared in advance, Guo's Shipping Group naturally did not have to worry about the risk of a broken capital chain, so it successfully took over Pier 9.

Nowadays, the world economy is on the rise, the international shipping industry has also seen a significant recovery, and container transportation has repeatedly hit new highs. Under such circumstances, the new Terminal No. 10 of the Kwai Tsing Container Terminal will naturally become the focus of many companies.

The object of pursuit.

Coupled with land reclamation, large-scale pollution cleanup operations on the original land, and port construction, in this way, winning the development and management rights of Pier 10 will cost an extremely huge sum of money! Even Guo's Shipping Group Company,

For such a huge expenditure, I was also uneasy. Therefore, although it was just a rumor, Yu Qiuxia still recruited Fang Mingyuan back to Hong Kong. I hope he can conduct an on-site inspection and decide whether Guo's Shipping Group Company wants to compete with other companies

Development rights of Pier 10.

Fang Mingyuan brought the map and the information that Yu Qiuxia had prepared a long time ago, and looked through it carefully. He didn't pay much attention to the terminal operation industry in his previous life. At most, he only remembered that later, the world's container spit

The port with the largest throughput is Shanghai, the second largest is Singapore, the third largest seems to be Pengcheng, and the fourth largest is Hong Kong. Therefore, after taking over the management of Kuok Shipping Group Company, he did not pay attention to the terminal operation.

It is still managed by the management of Kuok Shipping Group Co., Ltd.

But now Yu Qiuxia's question has come to the head. As the president of Guo's Shipping Group Company, he has to give his own opinions both emotionally and rationally.

Seeing Fang Mingyuan's focused expression, Yu Qiuxia said nothing and just waited quietly.

Regarding the development and operation rights of Kwai Tsing Container Terminal Pier 10, the management of Kwok Shipping Group Co., Ltd. has different opinions. Some people think that it should actively fight for it, so as to make the rights owned by Kwok Shipping Group Co., Ltd. in Kwai Tsing Container Terminal

The number of terminals reaches four, which further confirms the position of Kuok Shipping Group Company in Hong Kong's shipping industry and terminal operation industry. It does not give Li Chaoren's terminal operating company a chance to catch up.

However, some people believe that although Hong Kong is currently the world's largest container throughput port, its development speed has slowed down significantly. Singapore and the domestic Shanghai Port and Pengcheng Port are rapidly closing the gap. And as time goes by,

With the development of the economy, Hong Kong's manufacturing companies have moved from Hong Kong to the mainland in order to take advantage of the mainland's cheap labor. This has caused Hong Kong's manufacturing industry to become increasingly hollowed out, its proportion in Hong Kong's GDP has dropped rapidly, and the export capacity of its products has been greatly reduced.

Today, a considerable part of Hong Kong’s imported and exported container goods are actually re-export goods. This inherently puts Hong Kong’s future terminal operations at a disadvantage compared with domestic ones - Pengcheng’s export goods are 100%

Ninety-five or more of them are local goods.

Moreover, labor costs in Hong Kong are high. Container truck transportation fees and port service fees are expensive, resulting in high terminal operating costs. This is nothing new. Hong Kong media have publicly reported that the same TEU is used in mainland ports.

It is almost US$300 cheaper to board a ship than to board a ship in Hong Kong! This price difference is already an important factor that affects their decision for many companies.

Moreover, in order to obtain the development and operation rights of Pier 10, Guo's Shipping Group Company has to compete with many strong rivals and spend huge amounts of money to build the port. With this amount of money, they believe that if they invest in ports in the mainland, they will

Get more generous benefits.

The two parties are talking about public reasons, and the mother-in-law is right, and no one can convince the other party. Yu Qiuxia also has difficulty making a decision on this. She once asked Mr. Guo about this issue, but Mr. Guo just calmly asked her to ask Fang Mingyuan.

In fact, Yu Qiuxia himself feels that no matter what the final decision is, I believe that both groups of people in the management of Guo's Shipping Group will approve it. Because the decisions Fang Mingyuan has made since he became president, even if it seemed at the time

Some nonsense, even absurd decisions, ultimately proved that his vision was accurately terrifying.

At that time, it was under his suggestion that Guo's Shipping Group Company frantically purchased a batch of supertankers. If it weren't for the old man's strong support, the management of Guo's Shipping Group Company would definitely think that he was crazy, and there would be nothing to say.

I won't agree. But it is the purchase of this batch of super tankers that has established Kuok Shipping Group's position in crude oil transportation! It has become the world's top crude oil transportation company in one fell swoop, and is the well-deserved number one in Asia.

Fang Mingyuan later asked Guo's Shipping Group Company to order a batch of special transport ships for iron ore. At that time, as the price of iron ore had been stable for many years, shipping costs were relatively stable, profit margins were not high, and there were differences in the company.

Sound. But this year, not only has the international market price of iron ore increased significantly, shipping costs have also increased significantly, and the company's earnings are quite gratifying.

Moreover, Yu Qiuxia also knew that a few years ago, Fang Mingyuan sent people to Western Australia to acquire an iron ore, and spent huge sums of money to build supporting railways and ports there to ensure the export of iron ore.

The huge investment in the early stage put the mining area he developed into an embarrassing situation where the more iron ore exported, the greater the losses. But who could have thought in advance that the price of iron ore, which has been stable for nearly two decades, would actually rise this year.

There is a 10% increase, and it seems that there is a possibility of continuing to rise in the next two years!

These past achievements make people believe in his long-term vision. In this case, no matter which party he agrees with and makes the final decision, I believe that the other party will not have any dissatisfaction and affect the company.

of harmony.

Fang Mingyuan looked at it for a long time, shook his head and said, "Sister Qiu Xia, I still need to collect some more detailed information on this matter before I can make a decision. Let's put it aside for now."

"Okay, no problem." Yu Qiuxia said with a smile. She did not expect Fang Mingyuan to make an immediate decision. Anyway, the Hong Kong government was just letting the news out, and it would definitely take a certain amount of time before it could actually be implemented. So Fang Mingyuan had enough

time to think things over.

"By the way, Mingyuan, do you know that the contract between South Korea's Hanjin Group and Kwai Tsing Container Terminal Terminal 3 will expire in March next year. According to rumors, Hanjin Group is likely to no longer cooperate with Terminal 3. If the contract is renewed, we will switch to other terminals." Yu Qiuxia said, "You often deal with Koreans, can you draw them to our Pier 9?"

As a world-renowned shipping company, Hanjin Group is now not as good as Kuok Shipping Group Company, but it is still the largest shipping company in South Korea and the top shipping company in Asia. Its business covers six continents and more than 30 countries. With more than ten major ports, Hong Kong is also a major player in container transportation.

"Its business with another shipping company, Maersk-Sea-Land, accounts for almost 70% of Terminal 3's share. If it does not renew the contract, Global Container Terminals Co., Ltd. will have a headache this time!" Yu Qiuxia said with a few words. He said in a gloating tone. Colleagues are enemies, especially non-local competitors who have gone to Hong Kong. They are even bigger enemies.
