Cold chain for 20 years

Chapter 413 Thirteen Ports

A large-scale logistics distribution center formed on land by virtue of transportation advantages is a dry port, commonly known as a "dry dock".

Just after the Spring Festival, in Liu Zhiying's office at Qingyan Airport, a person is doing a report.When this person came back from Tatu City, Liu Zhiying felt that matters related to Central Asia could not only be communicated by email, he needed to chat with the people in it face to face.

"Mr. Liu, the number of dry ports to be built this round has been determined. There are [-] in total, distributed in various countries. It is a foreign investment promotion initiated by the corresponding cities in Central Asia, and they are basically located on the routes of China Railway Express and the main railway lines of various countries. Interchange."

"The dry port is still a cold chain dry port. Is there any accurate information?" Liu Zhiying asked.

The man nodded, "The establishment of a cold chain land port has been clarified. The cold chain environment over there is much worse than that in China. The construction of the cold chain has not been rolled out at all. This round of infrastructure construction belongs to the general framework of radiation. Central Asia There is also an intention to form a net internally."

"What about the scale?"

"There is no conclusion. All regions will listen to the proposals of bidders. Different locations have different volumes. These plans, including technology, should also be a major consideration for winning the bid. This time, I also heard..."

"Just say anything."

"I heard that cold chain companies in some European countries are also interested in participating, using the land and labor in Central Asia, and using local materials, warehousing and processing are started simultaneously, and then transported to markets in East Asia, South Asia, and the country."

Liu Zhiying pondered for a moment, this model is visible to the naked eye to make a lot of money, take the meat cold chain as an example, buy the cattle and sheep in Central Asia at the market price in Central Asia, and then use the labor cost in Central Asia to classify the cattle and sheep for the first time Processing, relying on the hub of the dry port to enter the market terminal smoothly.Compared with the goods produced in Rotterdam sold to Florence, the difference can be doubled.

Moreover, the thirteen ports all have local policy support, and the allocation of primary product resources will also be tilted. From point to point, there will be many attached factories in the future. Once this step is wedged in, the prospect will undoubtedly become more attractive.

It can be predicted that these dry ports can be bid, and the most important thing is the input of technology, the training of local talents, and the clear estimation of employment problems.

The materials piled up in front of Liu Zhiying were more than half a foot high, involving field materials from various dry ports, similar bidding documents from different places, and information on potential opponents.Most of these potential opponents are domestic. In addition to the Europeans just mentioned, there are actually South Asian companies.

The brain circuits of South Asians cannot be underestimated. They have little advantage in cold chain aspects, but this does not prevent them from using this occasion to explore other things, such as oil and gas, through such formal contacts.

These only make things more complicated.

Liu Zhiying would not have been so concerned about this matter at first. His immediate priority is to launch the third phase of Tongxing on time. The importance of the airport is Tongxing's current big proposition.Moreover, he also knew that Hu Shutong would personally manage the Central Asian affairs. This was an opportunity not to be missed, and it was also an unavoidable competitive trend.

Tongxing has been firmly established in Central Asia and will be a sharp weapon in the competition. If three or four of these thirteen inland ports can be conquered and arranged on the route of the China Railway Express, it will open up a route from the Mediterranean to China. Multinational market.

At that time, Tongxing will no longer start with a sword and see the light after thousands of miles. These intermediate dry ports will be storage, dispatch and real market radiation paths, making the international supply chain by land no longer far away in one fell swoop.

But what Liu Zhiying didn't expect was that at this moment, Hu Shutong could no longer see the previous initiative.

Hu Shutong did not issue any instructions on this matter from the beginning to the end. It stands to reason that Ganzhou is more aware of the momentum in Central Asia. It is hard for him to imagine that Hu Shutong turned a deaf ear to this matter.

For this reason, he made a routine during this Spring Festival, but Hu Shutong did not show any strong will, on the contrary he seemed a little bit unbearable, with a heavy expression on his face.

If it hadn't been for Hu Yuntong's incident, Hu Shutong probably wouldn't have come back this Spring Festival. He stayed in Qingyan for only six days, and then hurried to Ganzhou.

Liu Zhiying found out that this time the Ganzhou matter cannot be settled by changing the plan. Tongxing also needs to make the model more refined and sort out the downstream situation in different regions.Technical issues, product selection, and counterpart orders all need to be implemented step by step, and there is almost nothing that can be directly applied.

If it was just these professional issues, it would not be so disturbing. More importantly, the public opinion environment over there was very unfavorable.

Years after year, Yang Chenghai has been working on the B-round financing of Tongxing Distribution. After Guan Wentao left, many things have to go through Guan Xiaoman's hands.And Guan Xiaoman is almost a novice in venture capital financing, she also wants to understand the affairs between several investors, not just see the paper and sign.Hu Shutong also explained this, which made Yang Chenghai even more busy.

Although the work at the airport is also very complicated, it made Liu Zhiying realize that he may be the only one who can take the lead in doing something about this Central Asian matter.The most important thing is that there is no time to wait, the outline is already clear, and those who deliberately write ink may have picked up their pens a month or two ago.

If Tong Xing doesn't prepare or think, he won't be able to catch up.

This time is also an unprecedented stage. Tongxing has never had such an overseas competition, and has never had the experience of competing with international cold chain companies.

Liu Zhiying looked through these materials overnight, how to stand out from the crowd after so many years of competitive experience, if I really want to sum it up in one word, it is "surprising to be honest".

A truly professional and thoughtful solution is never to indoctrinate, but to take the other person into a window and let him feel what he sees. Only the best substitution can get the greatest favor.There are many classic cases of Tongxing, most of which are shared by Hu Shutong.

As one director said, a film needs to have a beginning, middle and end, but not necessarily in that order.The plan seems to be an easier thing, but the way here is the same.

Liu Zhiying spent a lot of time on this, and then a lot of it spread out, but some parts of his intuition were a little bold, while others seemed conservative. He was immersed in it, full of his own will, and it was difficult to escape for a while.

So, he called Hu Shutong for two consecutive days, but not only did no one answer, but there was no follow-up call or message, which was abnormal.

This made Liu Zhiying realize that what he saw might just be the appearance of Ganzhou, and what was going on there might be a more difficult matter.Vaguely, he even had a feeling that Hu Shutong was "caught up", which made people doubt whether it was a purely professional thing or not.

However, Liu Zhiying quickly dismissed these things beyond his control. The only thing he can change is the quality of this plan.It is great wisdom to focus on what you can control.

After a few days, this office has become like an artist’s residence, with paper pasted on the walls, scattered on the coffee table, circled, deliberately torn, and everywhere.

So far, his only expectation is that a strong man like Hu Shutong should never have only one thing in his mind.
