When Ye Chen first mentioned the idea of ??Wanlongdian's transformation, Wan Pojun agreed with both hands deep in his heart.
It's just that the only thing he worries about is the profitability after the transformation.
He is not seeking to make money now, but Wanlongdian still has tens of thousands of soldiers who need to support them. The expenses of these people are huge. If the transformed Wanlongdian cannot achieve a balance of profit and loss, then it will be difficult for him to give an explanation to the soldiers of Wanlongdian .
However, after listening to Ye Chen's description of the future, he immediately had confidence in his heart.
So, he asked Marven Ye: "Mr. Ye, do you know the salaries of the latter two international security guards? I want to calculate the approximate income fluctuation of Wanlongdian in the future."
Ye Chen said: "I'm not very clear about the details, I'll consult now."
Having said that, he immediately took out his mobile phone and called He Zhiqiu first.
He Zhiqiu originally had a deep understanding of international shipping, and now he has started to manage Yisu Shipping, and he is familiar with the details of the shipping market.
When the phone was connected, He Zhiqiu couldn't hide his excitement and asked: "Mr. Ye, have you returned to Jinling?"
"I'm back." Ye Chen asked her: "Zhiqiu, I want to call you to consult, do you know the current international security salary in the shipping market?"
He Zhiqiu explained: "If it is in the Gulf of Aden, generally a merchant ship needs to be equipped with three to five international security personnel. The helicopter of the security company will send the international security personnel directly to the Gulf of Aden when the merchant ship is about to enter the Gulf of Aden. On board, the merchant ship will disembark by helicopter after it safely and smoothly passes through the Gulf of Aden.
"Two hundred thousand dollars?" Marven Ye said in surprise, "Is it that high?"
He Zhiqiu said: "Mr. Ye, this is already the quotation at the beginning of the year. The current international security price is higher than before. The same service costs about 300,000 US dollars"
"The main reason for such a large increase is that from last year to now, the freight price of international shipping has been soaring, and the price has repeatedly set records."
"The shipping fee for a standard container departing from our southeast coastal port in China to the port of Los Angeles in the United States has soared from more than one thousand dollars before to nearly twenty thousand dollars."
"For a large freighter with a capacity of more than 10,000 standard containers, the freight cost for a full-load transportation is 100 to 200 million U.S. dollars. If the capacity exceeds 20,000 containers, the cost of the ship can be recovered at one time, and the shipowner has long been making money. and are willing to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to ensure safety.¡±
Ye Chen asked again: "Are there frequent pirate activities in the Gulf of Aden now?"
"Frequently." He Zhiqiu explained: "The pirates over there have never stopped. The hotter the shipping market is, the more active they are. They hijack a merchant ship, and they will hold people and the ship for ransom from the ship owner. Generally, at least It takes a few million dollars to start, and sometimes even tens of millions of dollars, and the shipowner dare not refuse to pay, and it is a waste of time to go back and forth, and it is a waste of money for a trip, and the loss may be tens of millions or even Hundreds of millions of dollars in freight income, so now shipowners attach great importance to international security, and almost large merchant ships will spend this money."
Speaking, He Zhiqiu said again: "By the way, after the Sujia Shipping Group was merged, we have already started to ship normally, and our own ships will also purchase international security services."
When Ye Chen heard this, he asked: "Do you know anything about the current international security companies? Where are their bases?"
He Zhiqiu said: "At present, there are at least 300 security companies in the global shipping market. Of course, the demand for armed escorts in the Gulf of Aden is the highest, so everyone has set up coastal bases along the coasts of the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea. Transformation, transformation into a sea base capable of taking off and landing helicopters, now most of the entire market is in the hands of the British, followed by the Americans, and there are relatively few in Asia, and in terms of prices, the prices of western escort companies are higher than those of eastern escort companies Some, and their market acceptance is higher.¡±
"I understand." Ye Chen nodded and said, "Zhiqiu, please send me the information of all our ships at this stage."
At this time, Ye Chen had already made up his mind to let Wanlongdian forcefully enter the armed escort market. Since the British can take more than half of the share, the Chinese can naturally do the same.
Now that he has made up his mind to do it, he must do it both on the ground and at sea. On the one hand, Wan Pojun must find a way to establish bases along the coasts of Yemen, Saudi Arabia and other countries, and on the other hand, he must also make preparations for sea bases. All the ship information of Yisu Shipping was given to Wan Pojun, and he was asked to choose the most suitable one for transformation.
Hang up the phone, Ye Chen.?The situation I got from He Zhiqiu was fed back to Wan Pojun.
After Wan Pojun listened, he immediately said: "Mr. Ye, we can get started with this business almost immediately. Our soldiers are much better than those ordinary international security guards in terms of training level, combat strength, and weapons and equipment. , It can be said that it is easy to deal with this kind of work, and we have relatively good channel relations in the Middle East, and it should not be a big problem to establish one or two forward bases with hundreds of people in Saudi Arabia, Yemen and the coast of Oman.¡±
Ye Chen nodded: "That would be great, you start preparing for these frontier bases immediately, and I will provide you with a cargo ship as a mobile base at sea, in this case, it will be officially launched soon! It's time to start with the merchant ships of Ysu Shipping!"
After a pause, Ye Chen continued: "As for the work of providing armed security in overseas high-risk areas, it should be simpler than armed escorts. As long as you find an employer, you can send a certain number of soldiers there according to the employer's needs. I believe The combat effectiveness of your Wanlongdian is definitely no problem in that kind of third world country, and there is no need for additional training, so you divide the soldiers who are ready to transform into this field in advance, and send people directly once you receive the project past."
Wan Pojun said excitedly: "Don't worry, Mr. Ye, the subordinates will start making arrangements immediately, and all the preparations will be completed within two weeks!"
"Okay!" Ye Chen said with satisfaction: "As for the more than 10,000 prisoners you have in Syria, I will find a way to mediate and let them release them. In addition, I plan to help you find a way to build a ten thousand captives in Syria." A human-level rear base."
When Wan Pojun heard this, he was even more excited, his voice was trembling, and he asked in disbelief: "Mr. Yeyouyou can really make them release the prisoners, and let them allow us to build a The rear base?"
Ye Chen nodded and said seriously: "You need a place, and they need protection and help. This kind of thing is nothing more than that both parties get what they need. As long as the conditions can be negotiated, nothing is impossible." (Remember the website URL : www.hlnovel.com
