Xi Xiaolei said particularly angrily: "The air and shipping channels we often use have all increased their prices at the same time. The one-way cost is ten times as high as before.
The cost of shipping our goods abroad is twenty times higher than before. I have also communicated with the international logistics company we often cooperate with. It seems that only the transportation cost of our goods has increased.
Other people’s fees are normal prices, this is a deliberate price increase against Mengying Group!”
Lin Chuan immediately thought that Jinxiang Company must be behind this.
They previously established comprehensive international aviation and navigation routes, and now they are basically in a semi-monopoly.
It's easy to raise prices for them.
And behind such a comprehensive price increase, there must be the operation of the black gold capital organization.
Without their control, it would be impossible for Jin Dexiang to increase prices.
Thinking of this, Lin Chuan said slowly: "The price increase is just a stepping stone for them. Soon they will make their demands. We don't need to worry.
Just wait and see what they think. You can communicate with our dealers first and tell them that the problem of high logistics costs will be solved soon!"
After Xi Xiaolei left the office, Lin Chuan also thought calmly.
What Jin Dexiang did is consistent with the bottlenecks in the supply chain.
If you don’t want to be stuck by others, you can only improve your supply chain and develop new freight channels yourself.
Then this must be a big investment.
The group's goods are currently sold to nearly 25 countries. If air transportation is used, at least 30 large transport aircraft are needed.
According to the current price of imported transport aircraft, each one costs at least 80 million, so this requires 2.4 billion.
This is only the purchase price of the aircraft, not counting the usual maintenance, personnel, repairs, etc. This is a very huge expenditure.
But you have to buy this plane, and you can’t pay for it yourself.
Thinking of this, Lin Chuan immediately picked up the phone and called Catherine.
At this time, Catherine was looking at documents in the office of Imperial Capital Company. When she heard Lin Chuan's voice, she immediately pushed all the documents aside and said with a smile: "How can I help you?"
Because she also knew that when Lin Chuan called her, he could only ask her for help and would not say anything else.
And Lin Chuan also said very directly: "You don't have to help me this time, because you may be going against Aiglas, and he will be particularly unhappy if he finds out.
I now need someone to provide me with 30 large transport aircraft, and I will also give him a chance to call me, because now Aiglas and Jinxiang Company have joined forces to raise my transportation costs.
So I want to develop an international freight route myself. You can decide for yourself whether I will help or not!"
Catherine's decision is difficult to make. Once she agrees to Lin Chuan, it will definitely affect Aiglas's interests.
But she really couldn't do it without helping Lin Chuan.
Compared with Aigaras, Lin Chuan is the real strong one.
Thinking of this, Catherine immediately said: "I can imagine how angry Aigaras was when he found out, but we can use a suitable method.
There is a high-level meeting of a capital organization tonight. As you become an important topic in the meeting, I will also give a speech at the meeting.
When the time comes, I will put forward your request at the meeting, and someone will definitely be tempted by it, and will take the initiative to fight for the opportunity to talk to you, and Ai Gelas will not be able to blame anyone else!"
This method is very good, and Lin Chuan supports him in doing so.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Chuan wanted to go to the machinery factory to see the progress of the gantry production, but the phone rang one after another.
It was Meng Yuelin who called.
"Kawako, my relatives brought me some sauerkraut. After get off work, I will buy some sliced meat and other things. You can come to my house for hot pot in the evening!"
It's fine if you just eat hot pot. Lin Chuan doesn't want to have people who don't want to see him.
So he reluctantly said: "It's okay to eat hot pot, as long as you don't make it difficult for everyone to eat!"
Meng Yuelin smiled and said: "Look at what you said, it's just a meal, how can you not feel happy eating?"
"Okay, do you need me to buy something?"
"No, just come over after get off work. I bought everything I need to buy!"
Lin Chuan didn't take it seriously and immediately went to the machinery factory.
The production progress of the gantry is very fast. With the efforts of the R&D personnel, the overall frame has been completed. Now it is the motor engineering.
Wen Zhaoxian introduced: "We learned the technology of this gantry crane based on the existing technology of Danshi Port. We all made a model together first.
Then let the smelter carry out finalization and processing according to the drawings. What we are making now is a one-to-one size prototype. After passing the test, we can go into mass production!"
Lin Chuan touched the gantry and said with great satisfaction: "Very good. Now our port earth and stone project has been fully started. By then, these gantry will be installed along with the progress of the general project!"
Wen Zhaoxian smiled confidently: "No problem, everyone is very motivated now, and our independently developed power engine has also been applied on this gantry.
In the future, our R&D capabilities will definitely be the best in the world!"
Lin Chuan also smiled and said: "The goal is very good, and I also very much look forward to you becoming the best R&D team in the world. Okay, you can continue to work. I have an appointment here, and I will come see you another day!"
Wen Zhaoxian and others sent Lin Chuan out of the factory. They were both grateful and touched by their support for the boss.
Without Lin Chuan's support, their dreams may take generations of hard work to realize.
And without huge financial support, it may not be possible for several generations.
At this time, I arrived at Lin Chuan, Meng Yuelin's house, and I felt a little regretful when I entered.
Tang Jingyan, Xiao Wen, even Liao Qingyang are there, and of course Zou Shumin is also there.
Meng Yuelin immediately stood up and said with a smile: "The hot pot is boiling and I'm waiting for you. Why did you get off work so late?"
Even though he was here, he was too embarrassed to leave. Lin Chuan immediately changed his slippers and sat down and said: "I can only come here to take time. The work now is piled up.
I haven’t relaxed for a long time, and I just want to have a bite of this pickled cabbage pot, so everyone, let’s get started!”
Let's tell them first that we are here to eat today and relax. You should be careful about what you should say and what you shouldn't say. Don't let a good dinner end unhappily.
Before taking a few bites of the dish, Liao Qingyang pushed Xiao Wen's thigh under the table.
Xiao Wen bit her lip, raised her glass, and said guiltily: "Kuanzi, I'd like to toast you with this glass of wine. I really shouldn't have said those excessive words to you before.
Now I will put them all in the wine, and I will swallow it up. If you forgive me, just drink this drink with me!"
