When Ye Chen first mentioned the idea of transforming Wanlong Palace, Wan Pojun agreed with both hands in his heart.
However, the only thing he worries about is profitability after the transformation.
He is not seeking to make money now, but Wanlong Palace still has tens of thousands of soldiers who need to support them. The expenses of these people are huge. If the transformed Wanlong Palace cannot achieve breakeven, it will be difficult for him to give an explanation to the soldiers of Wanlong Palace.
.
However, after listening to Ye Chen's description of the future, he immediately felt confident.
So, he asked Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, do you know the salary situation of the latter two international security guards? I would like to calculate the approximate income fluctuation of Wanlong Palace in the future."
Ye Chen said: "I don't know the details very well, I will consult now."
With that said, he immediately took out his mobile phone and called He Zhiqiu first.
He Zhiqiu originally had a deep understanding of international shipping, and now that he has begun to manage Ys Shipping, he is even more familiar with the details of the shipping market.
When the call 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'm calling to consult with you. 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 security company's helicopter will send the international security personnel directly to the merchant ship when it is about to enter the Gulf of Aden.
On the ship, the merchant ship will be disembarked via helicopter after it safely and smoothly passes through the Gulf of Aden. The whole process only takes a few days, and the fee is generally around US$200,000."
"Two hundred thousand dollars?" Ye Chen said in surprise: "Is it that high?"
He Zhiqiu said: "Mr. Ye, these are already the quotations at the beginning of the year. The current international security price is higher than before. The same service will cost about three hundred thousand US dollars..."
"The main reason for such a huge increase is that from last year to now, international shipping freight prices have been skyrocketing, with prices soaring to the point where they have hit records repeatedly."
"The freight for a standard container departing from our southeastern coastal port in China to the Port of Los Angeles in the United States has soared from more than a thousand US dollars to nearly 20,000 US dollars."
"A large freighter with a carrying capacity of more than 10,000 standard containers costs one to two hundred million U.S. dollars for a full load. If it can carry more than 20,000 containers, the cost of the ship can be recouped in one go, and the shipowner has already made crazy money.
, so we are willing to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to ensure safety."
