Fang Zida's plan is very simple. He wants to use the China Merchants Bureau to connect all the seaport cities in China from north to south, radiate to the inland, and then concentrate on opening up Southeast Asian and Western routes. (1_1)

Nanyang has a large number of sources of raw materials required for domestic industrial production, and the overseas Chinese have a deep-rooted and huge business circle in Nanyang, so as to deepen commercial exchanges and achieve cooperation between the two parties. As for the West, this is a general term, Fang Zida

The target is actually the European countries. Instead of clinging to the incompleteness and maintaining the current Japanese route, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity of the European war.

Mainly focusing on European routes, Fang Zida believes that when China Merchants takes the initiative to withdraw from Japanese routes, Japanese shipping colleagues will definitely applaud and increase their investment in Chinese routes. However, in this way, their energy and transportation capacity will also be reduced.

Limited to the China-Japan route, China Merchants Group jumped out of this circle and set its sights further. This is the so-called taking a step back to broaden the horizons.

Everyone was stunned by Fang Zida's plan. Although China Merchants Group has achieved numerous firsts in China since its establishment, it is still just a small shipping company compared with the great powers. Most of its main business routes are limited to domestic, that is, overseas.

It's just that the surrounding areas are mainly offshore. Strength determines one.

All in all, China Merchants' ships are not large in scale. Compared with those large foreign shipping companies that often have a ship of nearly 10,000 tons, China Merchants' fleet has a much smaller carrying capacity and scale. The difference between far-ocean and near-ocean

The key is the shipping capacity, which is simply not possible given China Merchants' current situation.

"Isn't this drawing cakes to satisfy hunger?" The assistant manager who just asked Fang Zida couldn't help but said softly. No matter how big the plan is, it must take into account reality. Fang Zida is famous as the chairman of China Merchants Group and the president of the Central Bank. Logically speaking, he shouldn't

Is such an unrealistic plan just in vain?

Although Xiang Li's words were soft, Fang Zida heard them clearly from above. When he turned around, he did not turn his face, but looked at him with a smile, which made Xiang Li's eyes dodge as if he were sitting on pins and needles, feeling uncomfortable all over.

Clearing his throat, Fang Zida ignored him and said with a faint smile: "Some people will say that this plan is a castle in the air and unrealistic. But I don't think so. The European war is in full swing. This is our opportunity. With the consumption of the war,

Europe now needs a large amount of industrial and commercial products to replenish supplies. As a result, everyone here should be able to see the vigorous development of domestic industry and commerce, but the products are produced in factories.

Once it came out, transportation became a big problem. At present, almost all shipping to Europe is undertaken by allied countries or neutral countries. Our country is also a neutral country, how can we give up this opportunity? What's more, as the European War becomes more and more serious,

Strongly, the demand for shipping power on European routes will also be greater, so we, China Merchants Group, must seize this opportunity. If we miss it, we will regret it in the future!"
