Global Container Terminals Co., Ltd., although its parent company is one of the world's top 500 companies, is the world's only number one csx group company that integrates railway, container transportation and logistics services, and it owns 18 companies around the world.

It has nearly 2,000 employees and an annual turnover of more than 300 million U.S. dollars! But this does not mean that Global Container Terminals Co., Ltd. is living a happy life.

Although its parent company is CSX Group, CSX Group has now sold its well-known world-class shipping company Sea-Land Services Co., Ltd. to Maersk Line. The Kwai Tsing Container Terminal Terminal 3 originally belonged to Sea-Land Services Co., Ltd.

, it was handed over to Global Container Terminals Co., Ltd. to operate it.

Fortunately, although Sea-Land Services Co., Ltd. was annexed by Maersk Line, the container fleet of Sea-Land Services Co., Ltd. still uses Kwai Tsing Container Terminal Pier 3. Together with the container fleet of Hanjin Group, Kwai Tsing Container Terminal Pier 3

Seventy to eighty percent of Hong Kong's loading and unloading capacity has already been occupied, and the remaining less than 30% of its loading and unloading capacity will not be a problem at all with a little effort - Hong Kong's reputation as the world's largest container throughput is not a decoration, it happens every day

A large number of container ships enter the port and a large number of container ships leave the port.

The profit of Kwai Tsing Container Terminal Terminal 3 accounts for nearly one-half of the total profit of Global Container Terminal Co., Ltd. In this way, as long as the revenue of Kwai Tsing Container Terminal Pier 3 is guaranteed, Global Container Terminal Co., Ltd. can

The income can still be guaranteed.

But such good times cannot last forever. The two major customers of Kwai Tsing Container Terminal Terminal 3, Hanjin Group and Maersk Line, both intend to switch to other terminals after the expiration of the contract. Hanjin Group will switch to other terminals in March next year, and Maersk Line will

The shipping company said in October. Without these two major customers, Kwai Tsing Container Terminal Terminal 3 will lose 70 to 80% of its business. In the fiercely competitive Hong Kong container terminal operating industry, if you want to expand in a short period of time,

It will be very difficult to find a stable big customer like Hanjin Group or Maersk Line!

Thinking of this, Lamb couldn't help but greet the boss of a certain company that had taken away the Hanjin Group's business from the women of the eighteenth generation of his ancestors - it was impossible for the Hanjin Group to give up its business in Hong Kong, so it left Pier 3.

I will definitely choose other terminals. As for Maersk Line, Lamb can't say anything, because Maersk Group, the parent company of Maersk Line, itself has a dedicated subsidiary, Maersk Container Terminals, responsible for the construction and operation of container terminals.

And just across the river in Pengcheng Port, there is a terminal operated by Maersk Container Terminal Company. There is an old Chinese saying that good things don’t go to outsiders. Lamb can understand it. Maersk Line’s business can always be retained

It will not be transferred to Pengcheng or other terminals of Kwai Tsing Container Terminal until the contract expires in October next year. This is considered to be a very good deal.

But understand... you can't eat it as a meal! Lamb has worked in Hong Kong for many years, and now his whole family is in Hong Kong. Although he is still a British national, his thoughts and words have long been Chineseized.

The business volume of Kwai Tsing Container Terminal Pier 3 can be said to be the key to the annual profit rate of Global Container Terminal Co., Ltd. If he cannot find a heavyweight customer in almost three months, then

Next year, Global Container Terminals Co., Ltd.'s revenue may decline significantly, and it may even suffer a loss!

Loss is a common thing for most companies in the world. Even in some countries, after occupying a monopoly position that no one can shake in some industries, those companies can still be confident.

The ground shouted loudly, "We are losing money and need subsidies!" Nokia Group once suffered a huge loss; the Sony Group Company, which has been famous for a long time, also suffered losses; and Airbus suffered heavy losses from the beginning, and only started to make profits many years later;

Kodak, the former film overlord, was losing money and going bankrupt: Microsoft, which can be called a money printing factory, also suffered losses on the home game console project. If it were not for its monopoly on computer system software, the result would be self-evident... So,

In this world, it would be an absolute miracle if a large enterprise could maintain a black-label operation for many years from the beginning!

But for Global Container Terminals Co., Ltd. and for Lamb, losses are likely to lead to serious consequences! That is, Global Container Terminals Co., Ltd. is likely to be abandoned by the parent company CSX Group!

This is not groundless, Lamb knows this very well! After the loss of Sea and Land Services Co., Ltd., Global Container Terminal Co., Ltd. has actually been marginalized in the parent company CSX Group! This can be seen from the past two years, Global Container Terminal Co., Ltd.

It can be seen that the Terminal Co., Ltd. has no longer received funds for expansion. The reason why CSX Group has not taken any action yet is because the profit margin of Global Container Terminal Co., Ltd. is quite good now. Some managers in CSX Group think that with the help of

It is good for Global Container Terminals Co., Ltd. to continue to maintain some of the company's influence in the terminal operation industry, so it has not made any moves.

However, if Global Container Terminal Co., Ltd. suffers serious losses, the situation will be completely different. CSX Group is likely to sell Global Container Terminal Co., Ltd. in exchange for a sum of funds. In that case, for Lamb himself

This is not a good thing. Not to mention that all the hard work invested in Global Container Terminals Co., Ltd. over the years has been in vain. Even if CSX Group will arrange other positions for him, where can it be arranged for him?

?Those important positions in the company are like carrots and pitfalls, and there are many people watching each one. I was not promoted because of my meritorious service. How could I get a position that satisfies me? Besides, their family already lives in Hong Kong.

Over the years, whether you go to the United States or other places, you will need a re-adaptation process, which will make your family, who are living happily in Hong Kong, very unhappy.

Just thinking about the possibility that he or his wife might leave Hong Kong to take office in a foreign country makes Lamb feel unspeakably unhappy.

To change this future, the top priority is to find new big customers for Pier 3! But... Lamb also knows that this is not easy!

Although Hong Kong is the world's largest container entry and exit port, and Kwai Tsing Container Terminal is the main berth location for container ships, this does not mean that Pier 3 can easily find new customers to fill the gap left by Hanjin Group. It can and

There are not many shipping companies with a comparable business volume in Hong Kong as the Hanjin Group, and almost all of them have signed contracts with the terminals of the Hong Kong Port. Moreover, among the terminal operating companies of the Kwai Tsing Container Terminal, local Hong Kong companies have already occupied

In order to enhance their respective competitiveness, in recent years, major companies in the international shipping industry have often formed alliances or joint ventures to share ship space.

The single-berth operation method has become somewhat outdated. In this environment, it is simply impossible for Global Container Terminals Co., Ltd. to find a suitable company and sign a contract in such a short period of time!

Some people may say that if you can't find big customers, why can't you find small and medium-sized customers? As a free port, Hong Kong has countless container ships entering and leaving the port every year. Pier 3 once set a record of handling more than one million containers per year as a single berth.

With the highest throughput record, are you worried that no customers will come to your door? It’s not that Lamb has never thought of attracting other small and medium-sized shipping companies to settle in Pier 3 with preferential treatment, but from the perspective of stable supply and income, small and medium-sized shipping companies

Shipping companies obviously have less advantages than large shipping companies. This will undoubtedly increase the operating costs of Global Container Terminals Co., Ltd. and reduce revenue. The final result is likely to lead to Global Container Terminals Co., Ltd. being sold by CSX Group.

If the Kuok Shipping Group Company has not just opened Pier 9 of the Kwai Tsing Container Terminal, Global Container Terminals actually has a glimmer of hope. The rapidly growing container fleet of the Kuok Shipping Group Company has given it a boost in Kwai Tsing Container Terminals.

The original two piers of the pier have been overwhelmed and have to load and unload cargo at the berths of other terminals. Pier 3 has also cooperated with Guo's Shipping Group Company for a period of time, but since the opening of Pier 9, Guo's Shipping

The group company's container fleet has been able to obtain sufficient berths, so naturally it will no longer dock at berths at other terminals.

Lamb even considered whether he should try to contact Japan's three major shipping companies to see if he could attract one of them to join the two. However, he also understood that in doing so, he was simply treating a dead horse as a living horse.

! Not to mention that the three major shipping companies, as established shipping companies in Asia, have already had their own or allies' docks to berth. Secondly, with the Japanese's instigation and fighting for every cent, even if they can attract them to enter

The conditions at Pier 3 must be very harsh.

But what he didn't expect was that news came privately from Guo's Shipping Group Company. Fang Mingyuan, the president of Guo's Shipping Group Company, hoped to have a face-to-face meeting with him in the next day or two. As for what to talk about, he had no way of knowing!
