"Before I expand it in detail, I would like to ask, how much do you know about shipping?"

The deacons here, no one is an elite, are talking very well.

What sea transportation accounts for more than 90% of the world's cross-continental logistics, and what accounts for the vast majority of world trade volume...

However, this is what they understand, and they are not particularly in-depth.

"Everyone knows that the scale of shipping is very large, so how big is it? I have a set of data here. The total value of global trade is 16.5 trillion knives, of which 85% are transported by sea. Of course, the value of shipping goods is usually relatively low. Even if they are only 50%, the total volume will reach 8 trillion knives..."

What is the concept of 8 trillion knives?

"In other words, the scale of shipping is almost catching up with the total economic output in the state?" The servants were also surprised.

This is the state, it should be considered the second largest economy in the world!

And this is the total economic output! The scale of shipping is really incredibly huge.

"Even if only one-tenth of the shipping materials pass through our port, there is a trade volume of 800 billion yuan per year!"

If there is a logistics of RMB 800 billion, it will flow through a certain place continuously for 365 days a year, and it will be difficult not to be rich in this place!

Some people may ask, the ocean is huge, and you can run wherever you like, why do you have to pass through a certain port?

Isn't it good to just click to click?

The problem is that the distribution of the earth's land is uneven, and most humans and developed areas are distributed in the northern hemisphere.

Therefore, most of the shipping occurs between several major states in the northern hemisphere.

And within this range, there are several levels that cannot be avoided even if it is nearest.

The Vest Line Strait, the Sueres Canal, and the Pananiu Canal are these several hurdles that humans can hardly get around!

So just look at the dense port cities near these places and you will know.

So, how can we make money by making goods flowing through a certain place?

Charge berth fee? Loading and unloading fee? Service fee? Traction fee? Service fee?

This is really just a small amount of money, and this is what a port company cares about.

But a city has much greater gaze than this.

The laws of the world determine that logistics is the center of economic activities in this world.

The center of logistics must be the center of capital flow, because the continuous logistics arrives, you need to unload, exchange, buy, sell, and transfer, which involves money transactions. Money transactions must require a large amount of capital flow, and then the bank comes;

The center of capital flow must be the center of finance. A large number of funds flow in. What should I do when I don’t trade? What should I do when the boat is on the sea? Where can I lose money and wait to hold the child? Is it okay to count it? Of course, it has to be run and play with finance! The financier is here!

The financial center raises a large number of rich people, and the continuous ship brings a large number of seafarers, which will naturally produce commercial centers, life centers, and service centers.

The logistics center also has a large amount of cheap raw materials and low transportation costs, so of course the industrial center will be born.

What kind of education centers and high-tech R&D centers will be like this? It’s so simple!

This is probably the fastest fast lane for urban development on Earth. It is like a rocket, soaring into the sky with no twists and turns in the middle.

But the problem is...

"The owner of the manor, there are so many routes in the world, and no important route passes through Green Island Port. Why should people come to us?"

Zhuang Buyuan turned around and pointed to a world map behind him.

However, this world map is a bit different from others. There is an area in the blank space of the map, which specially draws a map of a manor with different rulers.

A large area of ​​sea area surrounded by an island.

"This is Green Island Port." The village drew a circle at the southern end of Green Island not far away.

"Green Island Port is located in the northern part of the Western Ocean, close to the Arctic Ocean, not far from Nut State, Maple Leaf State, Midi State, and the coastal continents of the Western Ocean. It is a pole of the world economy."

Not far away from the village, I drew a circle on the north side of the flat ocean.

"This is Pingyang, very close to the western part of the state, Fusang, Goryeo and Nut State, and is another pole of the world economy."

"What is the shortest route between these two poles? For example, from the state to Midizhou, is it the route of Pingyang, the Vest Line Strait, the Fierce Sea, the Sueri Canal, and the Earth Center Sea?"

Everyone looked at the map for a long time, and it seemed that it was true.

There is no other way to go.

"Wrong!" Zhuang Buyuan waved his hand: "The shortest road is here!"

The village not far away, and pulled out a scarlet straight line, connecting directly from Green Island Port to the manor, and then from the manor to the flat ocean!

"The shortest way is to enter the manor from Green Island Port, and then enter the flat ocean from the manor! There is no need to cross two oceans, several straits, a canal, and dozens of days. It only takes a moment to go from the Western Ocean to the flat ocean! There is a moment!"

At that moment, all the servants were shocked!

Then a servant raised his hand timidly:

"Master, do you want the ship outside to enter the manor?"

"Yes, that's what I said, an open port!"

Open the manor to the whole world!

After so long development, the manor is no longer afraid of opening up and no longer needs to shrink back to protect itself!

"We just need to find somewhere in the northern part of the Pingyang Ocean, plant a piece of sheeping grass, and then..." Zhuang Buyuan waved his hand and said domineeringly: "We are the best port in the world, no one!"

Of course not one!

Everyone has to run and transport their boats, and your boat is just a journey through time!

"Master of the Manor, you cheat!" Everyone was about to curse. It was too much!Master of the Manor of the Manor was so bullied that everyone could not drive the boat!

Wait, why do I curse myself? I am from the owner of the manor! I want to help the owner of the manor scold someone else's mother!

"Wait, owner of the house, there is a loophole here... How do you explain that your ship came from here in an instant? "

"No, no, no, this kind of direct crossing is of course our own ship... If it is someone else's ship, passing through our port, of course we have to leave... here!"

Zhuang not far away drew another long line, and with a sound, he crossed the entire Arctic.

“Arctic Waterway!”

Although the Arctic looks quite large on the map, in fact, that's because the map is expanded. According to this proportion, Mao Xiongzhou accounts for almost half of the continent.

The earth is a ball, and the Arctic waterway is only 3,000 nautical miles, which can save more than ten days of voyage than the Vest Line. It is a fantasy waterway in the legend of human beings!

The problem is that this channel is frozen all year round, and even a short thawing period is extremely dangerous, and even insurance companies are unwilling to insure.

"You want to open up the Arctic waterway?"

"Of course not, I have investigated. The entire Arctic channel is full of icebergs, with only 17 coastal radio stations. We put hundreds of icebergs in the inland sea, make some thick fog, interfere with their gps, fake coastal radio stations, let them circle and circle inside, let them circle and circle after enough time, let it go, duang, and it's flat ocean..."

What can the servants say, I can only sincerely praise you: "Master, you are so shameless!"

As he praised, the servants ran out.

"Hey, what are you running away?"

"Let's buy a few boats first!"

So excited and very excited!

You are going to get rich!
Chapter completed!
