Chapter 155 Establishing your own shipping company

 "Everyone, if anyone causes trouble here, we will kick him out!" Hearing the sound, the security captain came and ran over quickly with a group of people.

These security guards at the oil base are all members of the security department of Tianhe Bodyguard Company.

Although Tianhe Bodyguard Company's main business is high-end bodyguards, in order to expand other businesses, it has also trained a group of security personnel with slightly less force than the bodyguards, and then dispatched them to some companies or factories that need security. This is also

A source of income for Tianhe Bodyguard Company.

Su Cheng didn't want to be interviewed, so the reporters had no choice but to disperse and look for a shady place to wait for the arrival of the oil tanker.

"Mr. Su, are you interested in boarding the transshipment ship? You can meet our VLCC on it then." At this time, Mr. Qi from Global Shipping Group asked Su Cheng with a smile.

The two operating ships with a carrying capacity of 50,000 tons anchored outside are actually owned by the Global Shipping Group and are now dispatched here to help transfer crude oil to the crude oil storage tank area.

"Okay, Mr. Qi, go ahead and make arrangements." Su Cheng was interested. No matter in the previous life or in this life, he had never been on a big ship, let alone a 50,000-ton ship, not even a 5,000-ton ship.

At most, I only took a small ferry.

"Then I will arrange for a transfer ship to come over now." After speaking, Mr. Qi took out his walkie-talkie and contacted the transfer ship.

Soon, Su Cheng saw that on the sea in the distance, a large ship that was parked on the sea first whistled and then started to move.

The ship began to sail away from the anchor point and headed straight to the dock slowly.

10 minutes later, the ship stopped steadily at the pier, and then the boarding ladder was lowered.

The nearly 200-meter-long hull is so huge that the forklift on the dock is like an ant compared to an elephant.

"Dear friends from the media, you should also board the ship, and you can welcome the arrival of the oil tanker with us later." Su Cheng said to other media reporters with a smile.

"Thank you Mr. Su."

"Mr. Su is such a nice person."

All kinds of compliments came out of their mouths, and Su Cheng was naturally worried.

What some media reporters like most is to stir up trouble and commit fraud. They are very hypocritical. Su Cheng certainly does not think that they are really thanking him.

Soon, under the protection of bodyguards, Su Cheng boarded the big ship.

What was displayed in front of Sioux City was a very huge red deck. There were no oil storage tanks on it, but only some pipes.

"This ship is also an oil tanker of our Global Shipping Group. However, the business is now sluggish, so it is not on a mission. Instead, it is parked at a dock in Xiangjiang. Now it happens to be used as a transfer ship by Mr. Su.

After this cooperation with Mr. Su ends, we may sell some oil tankers to reduce the company's operating costs."

When Mr. Qi saw Su Cheng staring at the deck, he thought he was curious about something, so he introduced him to Su Cheng.

"When transporting oil, is the oil stored under the deck?" Su Cheng asked curiously.

"Yes, Mr. Su, the crude oil will be stored in the storage space under the deck. This can protect the crude oil to the greatest extent and minimize the loss of crude oil during transportation." Mr. Qi explained.

At this time, other reporters also came up one by one.

It was also the first time for many reporters to visit an oil tanker up close, so they took pictures with their cameras, and discussions continued.

Seeing this, Mr. Qi took Su Cheng and Zhang Qizheng to the cockpit of the ship.

This is also the first time that Su Cheng has come to the cockpit of a large ship. At this time, the transfer ship has also started and is heading to the previous anchoring point again.

"Boss, since Global Shipping Group wants to sell ships, I suggest that Wentian Oil Company can take over part of it." Zhang Qizheng said suddenly.

If Wentian Petroleum Company wants to become bigger and stronger, it must transport frequently. If other companies are allowed to take over this business, the cost will naturally be much higher.

But if you own your own boat, this cost can be reduced by at least double.

When Mr. Qi heard what Zhang Qizheng said, before Su Cheng could speak, he interrupted: "Mr. Su, Mr. Zhang, if you want to buy second-hand ships, you can come to us. We not only have oil tankers of various tonnages, but also

We can sell the cargo ship to you at a price lower than the market price. Not only that, we can also directly transfer part of the crew to you."

For Global Shipping Group, it is useless to keep so many crew members after selling the ship. On the contrary, it will need to pay a large sum of wages every month, so it is better to show goodwill to the buyer.

After gaining control of the Wharf, the charter king decided to gradually shift his focus to land, investing part of the property he earned in the increasingly prosperous real estate industry, and also operating hotels and transportation.

According to the original historical trend, it would be two or three years before the charter king sold the ship. At the beginning of this year, Global Shipping Group also ordered a 405,000-ton super tanker from Japan.

However, a series of events made the charter king decide to reduce shipping assets in advance.

The first thing is that one of their company's major customers, Dongying Shipping Company, is going bankrupt due to poor management.

The second thing is that Shen Bi has significantly reduced his investment interest in Global Shipping Group since the beginning of this year. Not only that, he even asked the charter king to provide a written guarantee on the reliability of its fleet lease.

Close partners are no longer optimistic about this industry, so charter kings naturally begin to consider future development strategies.

The third thing is that Wharf seized it in advance. If the original history is followed, Wharf did not really win the competition with Jardine until June 1980. But now, because of the emergence of Sioux City, the chartering king only

In July 1978, it successfully defeated Jardine Land.

During the Wharf War, Global Shipping Group consumed a lot of liquidity, which made the charter king eager to recover some funds so that they can be used to develop Wharf.

Therefore, Global Shipping Group, which is short of funds, has already planned in advance to reduce the number of ships the company holds.

The position of the world's shipping king? For the chartered ship king, it is of little significance. Self-interest is the most important.

"Do you want to buy a ship? Yes, I also plan to set up a shipping company in the future. Then I will go to your group to talk to Mr. Bao." Su Cheng said with a smile.

The reason why Sioux City established a shipping company was not specifically to compete with Global Shipping Group, because this industry is entering a cold winter period.

However, for Su City, all this is not a problem.

He started a shipping company just to make it easier for his goods to be sold all over the world.

At the same time, the oil fields in Brunei will soon be ready for production, and they will often need to transport oil. Instead of letting others earn money, it is better to transport it yourself. This is safe and saves money, killing two birds with one stone.
