Chapter 1467: Finding a Breakthrough

Hearing Ye Chen's follow-up question, He Zhiqiu felt a little shy. She didn't want Ye Chen to know that she had just been asking Wang Wang Dongxue whether he was easy to get along with.

Wang Wang Dongxue also belonged to the kind of woman with extremely high emotional intelligence, so she smiled slightly and said to Ye Chen: "The two of us were just talking about future work. After all, we will all be working in your company in the future, so many things can be communicated."

As she spoke, she looked at He Zhiqiu and added: "Young Master, Miss He has just returned to China and is preparing to accept a brand-new business starting from scratch, so you must give her some guidance to help her get into the state early."

Ye Chen didn't think much about it, nodded lightly, and said seriously: "That's for sure. I personally attach great importance to this business, so once this business starts, I will definitely put more energy into it."

He Zhiqiu felt a little sweet in her heart again.

"According to what Ye Chen said, there will be many opportunities to see him in the future."

Wang Wang Dongxue asked again: "Young Master, do you have any specific ideas about the ocean shipping business? For example, where should we start?"

Ye Chen said: "I hope we can start core business directly as soon as possible, and don't spend too much energy on familiarizing ourselves with the industry and integrating resources. The first goal of starting this business now is to let our own cargo ships set sail as soon as possible."

He Zhiqiu hurriedly said: "In this regard, I have carefully considered it. The preparation work to be done in the early stage is to register an ocean shipping company as soon as possible, and then obtain relevant operating qualifications and shipping permits. As long as these are solved, our ships can theoretically pass reasonably and legally."

As she spoke, she added: "However, because everything is starting from scratch, we don't have any ship-related port resources in our hands now, so we have to integrate some ship and port-related resources while doing early preparations. Ports are easy to talk about, and I will go to clear the relationship when the time comes. But for ships, you must attach great importance to it as soon as possible, because the order volume of major shipyards is very large now. Whether it is container cargo ships, bulk cargo ships, crude oil, or LNG liquefied gas ships, it takes at least a year or more from placing an order to ship delivery."

Ye Chen nodded and said: "In this regard, I plan to make two preparations. The first is to seize the time to place orders with major domestic and foreign shipyards and let them start scheduling production for us; the second is to dock with the resources of some ship leasing companies and use leasing to build an initial shipping fleet for us."

He Zhiqiu hurriedly said: "I have already started preparing for this. I have already started to have an in-depth understanding of the largest ship leasing companies in China. I can touch on relevant leasing plans with them at any time. I think we should prepare five cargo ships in the early stage, and first use these five cargo ships as a foundation to run through the processes of major global shipping routes and port docking."

Ye Chen agreed and said: "No problem, you can start leasing now. Be sure to solve the problem of five cargo ships within a month. When the time comes, when the cargo ships arrive, we can start the business."

As he spoke, he added: "Later, Wanting and Nanako will also come over. It just so happens that we can talk about the shipping business together. Many port resources of the Ito family can also be docked with us."

"Great." He Zhiqiu hurriedly said: "In this way, our company hasn't been registered yet, but we have already negotiated business in advance. As long as we wait for the qualifications to come down and the ships to be solved, we can start actual business immediately."

After speaking, He Zhiqiu asked again: "By the way, Mr. Ye, I want to ask presumptuously, how much start-up capital have you actually prepared for this ocean shipping business?"

He Zhiqiu knew the basic logic of most businessmen very well.

As long as they are doing business, they almost have several common characteristics.

The first is that almost everyone will exaggerate their investment and capital reserves.

A person invested 500,000 to open a store. When others ask about his design investment, he will definitely increase it by a certain proportion on this basis.

On one hand, it is for face, and on the other hand, it is to raise the entry threshold of this industry.

The second is that almost all businessmen's biggest dream is to catch a wolf with empty hands. For businessmen, catching a wolf with empty hands is the peak commercial achievement, because only catching a wolf with empty hands can achieve absolute net profit.

So, she didn't know how much money Ye Chen could take out to operate this business.

Ye Chen thought for a moment at this time and said: "In the first stage, I will take out 5 billion US dollars as start-up capital, and maybe add another 10 billion US dollars in the future, but this depends on how effective our first stage is."

As he spoke, he asked He Zhiqiu: "Is 5 billion US dollars enough for the first stage in your opinion?"

He Zhiqiu said without hesitation: "Enough, absolutely enough! In that case, I can expand the scale on the original basis. We can place orders for ten new cargo ships with shipbuilding enterprises at one time. In this way, next year, our transport capacity will be greatly improved."

Ye Chen nodded and said: "These will be decided by you."

At this time, there was another knock on the door, and the voice of Wang Wang Dongxue's secretary: "Director Wang, Miss Song and Miss Ito are here."

Wang Wang Dongxue hurriedly said: "Please come in."

Ye Chen said to her and He Zhiqiu: "Wanting and Nanako don't know much about my situation in the Ye family. Be careful later, don't let it slip."

Both nodded in agreement.

At this time, the office door was pushed open by the secretary, and the beautiful and moving Song Wanting and the quiet Nanako Ito walked in together.

Seeing Ye Chen, Song Wanting said respectfully: "Master Ye!"

Nanako Ito also said with excitement: "Ye Chen-kun!"

He Zhiqiu was amazed at the stunning beauty of the two.

She really didn't expect that there were so many beauties around Ye Chen.

Just a Wang Wang Dongxue was already stunning, but she didn't expect that the two beauties in front of her were no worse than Wang Wang Dongxue.

Moreover, He Zhiqiu thought confidently, if she added herself, these four women could be called the four great fairies...

She couldn't help but be surprised in her heart, why so many beauties have different titles for Ye Chen. For example, she calls Ye Chen Mr. Ye, Wang Wang Dongxue calls Ye Chen Young Master, while Song Wanting calls Ye Chen Master Ye, and Nanako Ito calls him Ye Chen-kun.

I don't know why, she always feels that Nanako Ito's title for Ye Chen is really ambiguous, sounding much more intimate than Mr. Ye, Master Ye, or Young Master.

Ye Chen said to the two at this time: "You came just in time. I was talking to Zhiqiu and Wang Dongxue about ocean shipping."

After speaking, he made a brief introduction for them.

Afterwards, Nanako Ito said: "By the way, Ye Chen-kun, I received news that the Su family's Ocean Shipping Group has completed the change of shareholders. Now all shares are under the name of Su Su Zhiyu of the Su family. This group has a very large ocean shipping fleet, but they are still in a state of being blocked, and the whole group cannot be activated. If Ye Chen-kun can find a breakthrough from Su Su Zhiyu, he will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort!" ===== CHAPTER 1468 =====
