Valley Emperor - v2 Chapter 2180

At present, the various economic activities of the Datang Empire are still carried out around the interior of the Datang Empire, and the number of foreign trade exchanges is actually very small.

Therefore, the absolute market of the major shipping companies is the internal shipping market of the empire.

What is the share of shipping within the empire?

Large enough to maintain the Empire’s thirteen million tons of merchant tonnage, and continue to pull the Empire’s shipbuilding industry, building new ships with a massive new merchant tonnage of over 800,000 tons per year.

Therefore, it is impossible for major shipping companies to abandon the West Pacific route and send ships to run on any African route.

And another point is that the shipping industry is related to the people’s livelihood of the empire, and the major shipping companies also need to take social responsibilities. If you transfer a large number of ships to Africa, what should you do if you let the people of the empire travel?

If the people of the empire find out, you, a shipping company, in order to make money from the natives, actually canceled a certain domestic route, fearing that you will be sprayed to death.

Don’t worry about the public spraying, I’m afraid the shipping department will come to your door in minutes to persuade you to take the overall situation into consideration!

If you don’t listen, the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises is probably thinking about adjusting the management of the shipping company!

Well, many giants in shipping companies are controlled by the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, such as Yangtze River Shipping Company and Pacific Shipping Company.

Fung Shipping Company is a purely private enterprise, but people also have to estimate the social impact.

Therefore, the major shipping companies are also very entangled in the face of the sudden outbreak of the African route business, and they ignore it?

Definitely not, then it is a huge immigration business of tens of millions or even 20 to 30 million, and at the same time, there will be a huge freight business. Although it is nothing compared to the huge passenger transport business within the empire, it is money anyway. !

As a commercial company, shipping companies cannot live with money!

The managements of major shipping companies have all taken similar measures at this time!

The first is to fully mobilize some of the ships that were originally serving overseas, especially the non-standard ships that have been engaged in the indigenous transportation market before, and make more money for one more round trip.

The second is to put the domestic market ready to retire, or some of the ships that have been decommissioned, put them back into use after simple transformation, and put them into the operations of the African route.

This batch of ships is mainly a batch of the 1920s, that is, in the first ten years of the emergence of steam ships, the major shipping companies chased after each other and built a large number of early steam transport ships.

Because the technology of these ships was not mature at the time of construction, coupled with the high-intensity use in the later period, after the service life of these ships was gradually reached, shipping companies generally chose to scrap them directly, and then sold them to ship recycling yards to dismantle scrap iron.

However, due to aging and other factors, these old ships have not reached the imperial passenger quality standards if they are not upgraded and refitted at a high cost, and they cannot obtain operating licenses through review. What about the boat.

And if you put it into service on overseas routes such as Europe and Africa, you can bypass the supervision of the **** Ministry of Transportation.

If only indigenous and indigenous goods are transported, these ships do not need a passenger operation license, and even the freight operation can be renewed!

As for the ship’s condition is too bad, what should I do if it sinks? It’s not that these ships have many faults, safety facilities are not in place, comfort is not up to standard, etc. If you want to upgrade, refit and maintain, the cost is expensive and not cost-effective .

Not that the hull is falling apart!

The major shipping companies are not stupid, and they will not really drive out the ships that will sink at any time. If they sink, they will not even be able to buy scrap iron. Scrap iron is also very valuable these days.

Besides, if it sinks, the crew of Datang will also be in trouble. If the last batch of crew members die, it will greatly affect the company’s reputation, and the insurance company may have trouble with them. If the crew insurance premiums are paid, the major shipping companies will lose money.

After repeated consideration by major shipping companies, some old ships have been decommissioned in some routes in various countries, and then they have undergone emergency simple refits.

In order to accommodate more passengers, an ordinary passenger ship running on the local coastal route can only carry 500 people at full load, but if it is used to transport indigenous people, it will be a loss to the shipping company to transport only 500 people.

Indigenous people don’t have much money, and the price of ferry tickets that they can afford is very low. With such a low price of ferry tickets, if you don’t bring thousands of people at one time, you will have to lose money. You can only make money if you bring 1,500 people. Bring 2,000 people. People can make more money.

Therefore, before investing in the routes from Europe, West Asia to Africa, it is necessary to carry out simple modifications, discard all unnecessary things, in order to obtain more space to accommodate more people, and at the same time discard any unnecessary cost services, such as those that provide cabin services. Crew, there is no need to provide any services at all.

At most, it is necessary to maintain some necessary cabin management, and it is not possible to use Datang employees with relatively high wages, but to use temporary resident employees.

In this regard, the most experienced Pacific Shipping Company has prepared eight decommissioned ships for professional refit in one go, and even during the refit process, preparations were made for subsequent dismantling.

Well, anyway, this ship will run on the Europe-Africa route for a few years, and it is estimated that it will not be able to run at all. It will also be sold for scrap iron and dismantled. Now it is convenient to prepare in advance.

It is a follow-up matter to transfer decommissioned ships from the mainland and refit them, and now European countries and indigenous countries such as West Asia and India have already set off a climax of African colonization.

The above countries are still only colonies, but the six Ottoman countries have already started a large-scale migration behavior. Each kingdom in the six countries has hired the ships of the Datang Shipping Company to transport immigrants for them~www.mtlnovel.com ~Every day, many people board Datang people’s ships from various ports and go to Africa!

This has allowed several major shipping companies in the Datang Empire, especially those operating routes in Europe, West Asia and Africa, to gain soaring business volumes.

The European branch of Pacific Shipping Company, in addition to dispatching more than 10 ships to connect with the relocation business of the six Oscar countries, also dispatched several other ships to open the latest regular flights from all over Europe to various ports in Africa, specially for immigrants from all over Europe. Provide transportation services.

Even so, Pacific Shipping Company is deeply aware of the lack of transportation capacity. After all, it seems that there are many ships, but in fact the ships operated by the European branch are all small tonnage ships, even if these ships are specialized in non-standard transportation business, carrying Passenger volume is much larger than standard shipping.

But facing the huge shipping demand is still not enough!

This is the case with the Pacific Shipping Company, and most of the European branches of other shipping companies are like this. Now they are all trying to increase their capacity.
