After he was done speaking, Yahiko looked at Charlie before he said seriously, "Mr. Wade, the Schulz family's ocean shipping license was recently revoked. So, it is definitely a good opportunity for you to quickly enter this industry at this time. I wonder if you are interested?"
Charlie waved his hand before he smiled and said, "I d o not know anything about ocean shipping transportation, plus I do not even own a transport ship of my own. So, why would I talk about entering the ocean shipping industry?" 4
Yahiko hurriedly replied, "Mr. Wade, the ship would not actually be a problem at all. In fact, most ocean shipping companies from all over the world would simply rent their freights and oil tankers, just like how most airplanes from most airlines are actually rented. Some companies are good at operations but are not that proficient at managing asset-heavy business modules and fixed asset planning, whereas some companies are good at managing asset-heavy business modules and fixed asset planning, but not good at operations. This is just like how many companies who open global chain retail stores would generally choose not to buy their own shops, but instead, those real estate developers who invested in
shopping malls, would rent the shops out to the merchants so that they could collect rent for themselves." 3
"A large part of the world's ships and airplanes are purchased by several leasing companies. They usually place orders with the manufacturers at a very early stage, and after the orders are delivered, they will not use the ships and airplanes as their own. Instead, they will simply rent it out and start collecting rental fees from it instead." 3
"At this point, a large number of the Schulz family's cargo ships are idle, and many of these cargo ships are leased. If they cannot resume normal operations within a short period of time, they will not be able to afford to pay so much rental for the cargo ships. So, it i s very likely that they will start canceling their leases i n batches. In that case, there will be a large number of cargo resources that will be released in the market. You will be able to take over all of it on a large scale before grabbing hold of the opportunity to take over the Schulz family's ocean shipping business!"
When Lord Moore heard this, he could not help but sigh as he said, "The ocean shipping business is indeed a very, very profitable industry. Now, a vast majority of international trade and logistics rely on ocean shipping, and as long as all of the countries in this world continue all operations and collaborations a s per usual, the ocean shipping industry will certainly continue to grow."
With that said, Lord Moore looked at Charlie before he said, "Master Wade, Apothecary Pharmaceutical has already gained the momentum to sell its product well all over the world. So, you might as well grab hold of this opportunity of a lifetime to start an ocean shipping business. It would certainly be of great help and importance to Apothecary Pharmaceutical's global transportation and logistics in the future."
At this time, Graham could not help but say, "Lord Moore, I have no intention of disagreeing with you, but Master Wade's Apothecary Pharmaceutical produces medicines. All of the medicines are small in size and light in weight. Even if it were to be sold globally in the future, it would be shipped out to one country at a time. Only two or three containers would be filled up, but there are thousands of containers in a freight. Therefore, the demand and supply would not be equal at all..."
