Cold chain for 20 years

Chapter 129 Two old men
In the middle of the winter rainy night, there is a large waste yard only three or four miles away from the pier along the coast.

Under the faint yellow lamp, in the corner or in the crevice of the wall, the wet mouse hops and jumps in a hurry, screaming from time to time.

Workers are using forklifts to load second-hand containers one by one onto flatbed trailers, and then transport them to major second-hand container transformation factories. This kind of work will last more than a dozen nights.

The past and present life of second-hand containers is actually very simple. The container was invented in the 20s, which revolutionized the world's maritime trade pattern.With the continuous increase of port trade in recent years, more and more containers have been transferred to the yards of major ports in China. However, the production bases of new containers are concentrated in China, so many users who purchase new containers eliminate old containers on the spot. In China, this is also the origin of the name "foreign garbage".

In foreign countries, second-hand containers are mainly used for static storage, temporary housing and offices, etc., while in China, the industrial chain around second-hand containers has become more and more prosperous due to the increase in quantity.

Second-hand container semi-trailers are like giants in the refrigerated transportation market. When the original refrigerated truck is just starting to gain momentum, it only needs to shake the original refrigerated truck with a lot of hard work. , There is no way to ask for mercy.

In the past, the second-hand container semi-trailers in the Mingjiang market were represented by Zhonglesi, etc. These companies can basically keep the bottom line and do not compete directly with refrigerated truck companies, which is considered to be a good thing.

But now it is different. Container companies from other provinces have begun to infiltrate the layout aggressively. With sufficient raw materials, they are striding towards Mingjiang!
This fierce tiger's advance, Mo Mingjiang's refrigerated car companies, and even those old-fashioned second-hand container car companies are about to fail. The reason is very simple, because they can still be cheaper!
The powerful thing is that they also introduced an attractive replacement policy, replacing old used containers with new ones for the Mingjiang market.I really can't wear the old cotton trousers. For a little extra, I will provide a pair of old cotton trousers that are not so breathable.

For a while, the limelight was all over, and even the replacement belt was sold, and it was like a sweep!

Its impact is far more than that. The ultra-low price directly drives a large number of small and micro start-up companies. Refrigeration is a prosperous market. You can run refrigerated transportation with two or three cars. Such a low start-up cost has attracted many people. , and then began to encroach on the cold transport market.

As for the problem of fuel consumption, there are too many subjective methods. In the early years, ice cubes and quilts could be transported, but now they have a more decent appearance. Sometimes there is no need to turn on the refrigerator during short-distance transportation. It is enough to wave the air-conditioning.

In other words, it is only necessary to ensure that the meat is not thawed and the milk is not precipitated when the customer sees it for the first time, and the lower shipping costs have forced the already struggling complete vehicle market to have no way out.

Ice can go bankrupt.

It survived the wave around 98, but finally failed to withstand this wave, which is a pity.In the past, Bingeng was regarded as a benchmark enterprise in the Mingyuan market, but its operation was not smooth, and its financial problems were mired in a quagmire. This time, the surging container tide became the last straw.

In the office, an old man tore the newspaper in his hand to pieces!
The old man was wearing an octagonal hat, and the glasses legs were tied with strings. He yanked down the glasses and threw them in front of his chest. Then he picked up the ink bottle and knocked it on the table. He was very irritable!

"Bastards! These bastards!"

The old man’s name is Hong Chengliang. He is not only a doctoral supervisor of Minggong University, but also a director of Mingjiang Vehicle Technology Research Institute. He has devoted himself to the improvement of technology for many years. The content of his research and development focuses on supporting and taking care of refrigerated vehicle companies.

Boom boom boom!At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"go out!"

Boom boom boom!The sound got louder and louder.

"Where did you come from, Lengtouqing, I let you..."

As soon as Huo De opened the door, Hong Chengliang was about to slap his head and cover his face, but when he looked up, his neck suddenly shrank back, and he let out a muffled groan, "Please don't come, you old thing will know to deliver it to the door, right?"

"Come on! Let's make some tea!"

As soon as Master Pang arrived with a walking stick, he moved Hong Chengliang aside, and when he entered the room, there were debris all over the floor as expected.

Hong Chengliang dug out the tea that he drank with Master Pang, and he couldn't hold back his anger before it was ready, "Old Pang! Why should we go on? What we do are more expensive and costly things, but they only need One trick, tell everyone how to save money and make more money! Today I will tell you something I wanted to say a long time ago, the broken road of the refrigerated truck cannot be supported at all!"

"Then what's the matter? Is this a compromise? He ran away? Back then, he was said to be a shrimp soldier and a crab general, but after a few rounds, he became a heavenly soldier and a general?"

"I'm not talking about you, can you stop acting like an electric drill all day long!"

"No matter how hard it is, technology cannot be stronger than ambition. Cold chain is a game of chess, and food safety is a road. Our generation will never break through."

"Okay, okay, I need you to repeat!"

"Old Hong, it's good to have competition. When we were young, we didn't know about refrigerated trucks and ice cream boxes on bicycle seats. They all felt magical. But now, cold is reaching thousands of households. With this kind of Great progress, the rest of the immediate matters are just trivial."

While speaking, Hong Chengliang's expression became more gloomy. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the freshly baked infusion process.Many things are so frustrating, and the better ones are even more unacceptable. The low cost sweeping the industry makes it impossible for any technology to see the light.

"In today's situation, if the refrigerated truck industry does not act, it will almost be submerged. Lao Hong, aren't you going to fight back?"

"What to fight back?"

"Young people's affairs and our affairs, two generations' affairs do one thing."

"What do you want to do?"

"Work together to build a refrigerated truck alliance!"

"But you have to know that the southern suburbs are the wind vane of Mingyuan's industry. Many people learn how to walk only by watching how it walks."

"You and I don't need to worry about the southern suburbs. What we have to do is to formulate this alliance and tell the whole Mingjiang what it means for refrigerated vehicles. Refrigerated vehicle companies must unite, otherwise this will be the same cold winter as before! Build a platform, resources Intercommunication and technology sharing, like a cold chain network, will bring everyone together!"

Slowly, Hong Chengliang clenched his fists, Master Pang's words revealed the determination of the collusion back then, which gave people a feeling of retrogression of ideals!

The generation of the two old men has been tempered even more than the present, but the ambition of the elders is as strong as iron!They have not caught up with the high-spirited era, but it does not prevent them from displaying a more heroic power in this era!
"Old Pang, I still want to ask, even if everything is settled on our side, that giant in the southern suburbs..."

"Old Hong, compared to someone, you and I are both laymen in Nanjiao."
