Chapter: 2759

Namae nodded unhesitatingly, saying, "No problem. Then I'll trouble Wan Ting sisters to give me a detailed introduction to the current situation of your Song family!"

Ito Hiroki looked at Qin Gang, smiling, "Qin Gang, don't you have any businesses other than pharmaceuticals?"

Qin Gang hurriedly replied, "Actually, our company has been quite diversified in the past. Besides pharmaceuticals, we also do retail and trading business, including antiques, cars, and heavy machinery equipment, etc."

Ito Hiroki nodded his head, laughing, "Antiques are not my strong suit, but if you're doing car trade and heavy machinery equipment, and you need to import from Japan, please contact me. Many Japanese car companies and well-known heavy industries' CEOs are familiar with me, and I can help you connect the dots or negotiate better terms."

Qin Gang heard this and was immediately thrilled, exclaiming, "This is too great of a favor, Ito Hiroki! To be honest, we do have a few brands that want to collaborate, so please help us connect the dots if possible."

Ito Hiroki nodded his head, smiling, "Don't worry about it, Mr. Qin. I still have some connections in this field."

He finished speaking and looked at Ye Chen, saying seriously, "Mr. Ye, recently, the Su family's ocean transportation license has been revoked, and now is a great opportunity to quickly enter this field. Do you have any interest?"

Ye Chen shook his head, laughing, "I'm not familiar with ocean transportation at all, and I don't even own a single cargo ship, so how can we talk about doing ocean transportation?"

Ito Hiroki hurriedly said, "Mr. Ye, the ship isn't a problem. In fact, most ocean transportation companies around the world charter their vessels just like some airlines charter planes; some companies are good at operating but not at managing fixed assets and investments, while others are good at investing in fixed assets but not at operating."

"There's a large part of the world where ships and airplanes are chartered by rental companies. They usually place orders with manufacturers early on, receive the products, and then charter them out to make money without having to manage them themselves."

"Now the Su family has a huge fleet of idle cargo vessels, including some they have chartered. If they can't recover normal operations within a short period, they won't be able to bear the rental fees and may decide to mass cancel their charters, releasing a large amount of resources onto the market. You can then take advantage of this opportunity to scale up and take over the Su family's ocean transportation business."

Next to him, Song Lao Jia listened to this and couldn't help but sigh, "Ocean transportation is indeed an extremely profitable industry. As long as countries around the world continue to conduct normal trade with each other, the ocean transportation industry will continue to grow."

He looked at Ye Chen again and said, "You're currently doing great with Nine Heaven Pharmaceuticals, which has a global best-seller trend. Why not seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get into ocean transportation and help Nine Heaven Pharmaceuticals with its global logistics in the future?"

"Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not planning to compete with you, Mr. Song, but Nine Heaven Pharmaceuticals only produces a limited amount of goods, so even if we were to export them globally, each shipment would be no more than two or three containers at most. However, an ocean freighter can carry thousands of containers, which means the demand and supply are not balanced..."

Mr. Song smiled and said, "Of course, relying solely on Nine Heaven Pharmaceuticals won't work, but have you considered your import and export trade, as well as your car imports? They all require ocean transportation, don't they? And since we're dealing with a limited number of countries, such as Japan, Germany, France, Italy, and the US, one standard container can carry two imported luxury cars, which is a huge demand for international shipping..."

I clapped my hands and laughed, "It seems Mr. Song has seen right through me; I was only thinking about Nine Heaven Pharmaceuticals and forgot to consider my own business!"

Mr. Song continued, "Once our joint venture with New Japan Iron Company is established and operational, we'll have a huge demand for iron ore, which will mainly come from Brazil or Australia, requiring tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of tons. This will create an enormous demand for international shipping, and if Nine Heaven Pharmaceuticals were to operate ocean transportation, it would be a positive development for everyone!"

I remained silent, but my heart was racing with excitement.

"Nine Heaven Pharmaceuticals will certainly go global in the future, but relying solely on one company is difficult to compete with established families like the Ye family or the Su family."

"I'm taking advantage of this opportunity to seize control of the Su family's business," I said with a smile.

"This way, not only can I greatly strengthen my own assets and capabilities, but I can also severely weaken the Su family..."

"And since Grandfather Ye Zhongguo has always wanted me to return to the Ye family, if he asks for my help, I can ask him not to compete directly with me in ocean transportation..."

"In this way, even if the Ye family tries to grab a share of the Su family's business, they'll have to give me space!"

"This isn't just about one arrow and two hawks, but rather three birds in one stone!"

Ye Chen currently has a sufficient amount of capital at his disposal, and he also has Nine Heaven Pharmaceutical, which is a printing press that generates income continuously, so launching long-distance transportation for him is indeed not a difficult task. JrNovels.com
