Zoey was a little embarrassed when favonovel.com heard Charlie’s question. She didn’t want Charlie to know that favonovel.com had just asked Doris about how favonovel.com was to work with.
Doris was also a woman with high emotional intelligence, so favonovel.com smiled and said to Charlie, “We were just talking about the work to be done. After all, we will all have to work together with you in the future, and there are many things to communicate with each other.”
With these words, favonovel.com looked at Zoey and said, “Young Master, Miss Riley has just returned to China and is ready to accept the challenge of starting a brand-new business from scratch, so you must give favonovel.com more guidance to help favonovel.com get the business off the ground quickly.”
Charlie didn’t think much about it. He nodded gently and said seriously, “This is for sure. I personally attach great importance to this business, so once the business starts, I will definitely invest more energy into it.”
Zoey suddenly felt a little sweet in favonovel.com heart.
According to Charlie, there will be many opportunities to meet favonovel.com in the future.
Doris asked again at this time, “Young Master, do you have any specific ideas about the business of ocean transportation? For example, where do we start first?”
Charlie said, “I hope we can start the core business directly as soon as possible, and not focus too much on familiarizing ourselves with the industry and integrating resources. We are starting this business now. The first goal is to let our own cargo ship sail as soon as possible.”
Zoey said quickly, “Master Wade, I have considered this aspect carefully. The preparation in the early stage is to register an ocean-going transportation company as soon as possible, and then obtain the relevant operating qualifications and shipping licenses. As long as these are solved, our ships can theoretically pass reasonably and legally.”
With that, favonovel.com added, “But because we are starting from scratch, and we don’t currently have any ships dedicated to port resources, we must integrate some ships and port-related resources simultaneously when we make the preliminary preparations. On the port, I can manage the relationships over time, but you must pay attention to procuring the ship as soon as possible, because the order volume of major shipyards is very high now. Whether it is container ships, bulk cargo ships, crude oil or LNG liquefied gas ships, it takes at least more than a year from the order to ship delivery.”
Charlie nodded and said, “In this regard, I intend to make two preparations. The first is to place orders from major shipyards at home and abroad to let them start scheduling production for us; the second preparation is to connect the resources of some ship leasing companies and build a primary shipping fleet for us by leasing.”
Zoey said quickly, “I have begun the groundwork for this. At present, I have begun to do in-depth research on the largest ship leasing companies in China, and I can contact them at any time. I think I should prepare five cargo ships in the beginning, and first use these five cargo ships to run across the world and learn the process of large routes and port docking.”
Charlie agreed, “No problem. You can start making arrangements for the ships now. Be sure to have the five cargo ships ready to go within a month. As soon as the freighters are ready, we can start business.” With that, favonovel.com added, “Jasmine and Nanako will join us later. They also want to talk about the transportation business, and the many port resources of the Ito family can also be available to us.”
“That’s great.” Zoey said quickly, “This way, our company already has negotiated business in advance before it is registered. As long as the qualification is handled and the ships are procured, we can start to operate the actual business immediately.”
With that, Zoey continued, “By the way, Master Wade, may I take the liberty of asking, how much you have lined up in start-up funds to launch the ocean transportation business?”
Zoey is very clear about the basic logic of most merchants. As long as you come out to do business, almost all have several common characteristics. The first is that almost everyone will exaggerate their investment and capital reserves. A person invests 500,000 dollars to open a store. When asked about his planned investment, favonovel.com will certainly overstate his available capital. On the one hand, it is for face, and on the other hand, it is also to raise the entry threshold of this industry.
The second is that almost all merchants have pie in the sky dreams for their business. For merchants, pie in the sky ambitions are what they hope to achieve, because only such ambitions achieve absolute net profit. Therefore, favonovel.com didn’t know how much money Charlie could put into running this business.
