When the government announced the development plan for Eastern Galicia, it caused quite a stir. Many people smelled business opportunities, and Hawke Selder in Constanta was one of them.

As a smuggler who relied on the government to make a lot of profits in the war, Hawke Suld nowadays is a good deal in the shipping industry. The ships under his name have reached 13 tons, with a gross tonnage of about 100,000 tons.

This tonnage is of course not well-known in the world, but coupled with the ships of his friends and partners, he has gradually revealed his reputation in the world shipping industry, and now the ships that run the Black Sea have never heard of his name. It's just that the Black Sea route is not among the world's mainstream routes, but its proportion is increasing year by year. In the not-too-distant future, when Romania's economy develops, it is believed that there will be more ships running the Black Sea route, and his reputation will be well-known throughout the shipping industry.

However, Hawke Selder is currently annoyed by an upset, that is, the shipping industry is facing a sharp drop in orders following the end of the war. It is true that after the war ended, the shipping volume of various countries did not immediately reduce too much, but a large number of transport ships belonging to the government were pushed to the market. At this time, in the face of a surge in merchant ships, orders seemed to be insufficient. As a problem faced by the entire industry, Hawke is certainly not immune.

No, when Hawke saw that all shipping companies were in trouble, he immediately convened a meeting to discuss the way out for everyone under the current difficult circumstances. So on Rayford Street, where his shipping company is located, all kinds of luxurious vehicles gather here.

As the host, Hawke brought in friends and partners one by one at the door. Most of these people are famous figures in the Romanian shipping industry, and their combined energy is enough to affect Romania's shipping.

"You guys, the main reason for bringing everyone together this time I believe everyone can guess. That is that the current shipping competition is too fierce and business is not easy to do, and we must figure out a way out for this."

After gathering the people, Hawke Selder took the lead in clarifying the purpose of the gathering. And his words immediately resonated with everyone present, and everyone immediately poured out their own difficulties.

"Yes, business is too difficult now."

"Isn't it? Many of my previous orders were robbed by those Anglo-French shipping companies that came in. Damn, I asked later and the price was 20% lower than mine. Isn't this a plan to lose money and do business?"

"Isn't it right? Many of my ships were robbed by these foreign shipping companies. Now two ships are vacant, and the crew has nowhere to live."

"You are not bad. I wanted to take this opportunity to expand the fleet size and bought three new ships. Who would have thought that my old customer steel factory cancelled my order and said that my freight was too high, and now the fleet is too high. Basically, it stopped. If there are no more orders, my crew will run through."

Everyone rushed out of their embarrassment. Regardless of their well-dressed, there are drivers driving in luxury cars when they go out, but no one has hundreds of people to eat with them. There are not enough orders to make a profit, and everyone can be bankrupt.

Hawke kept listening to their complaints, and when they finished speaking, he said, "In fact, everyone’s situation is the same. The only difference may be that some people have a better life, and some people have a worse life. But let me Said that the current shipping recession may not be improved in a short time."

When Hawke said this, someone couldn't help but interject, interrupted him and asked. "why."

Hawke, who was questioned, took out a piece of information he had prepared and said: "This is the information I spent money to trust people to investigate. This is the current storage volume of existing merchant ships. The annual shipping order status, and Mainstream shipping price."

Everyone immediately focused on the information in his hand. After seeing everyone’s thoughts, Hawke immediately took out many copies of the same information: "If you are interested, please study it. It is a little help for my friends. ."

Hawke's voice fell, and friends and partners were also welcome, each of them picked up the information in their hands and looked at it. In fact, some people have entrusted others to investigate, but until there is no detailed investigation by the Hawktors, it not only writes the tonnage of various shipping companies, but also the annual throughput of major ports, and even predicts the next few years. The growth of shipping orders and the growth of merchant ships.

These detailed information shows that Hawke spends more money and energy than others, which can also explain why he is the leader.

After everyone saw it, Hawke said, "Everyone has seen it."

"Ok"

"Ok"

After getting a response, Hawke continued: "Since everyone has seen it, I believe the most familiar thing is the shipping price."

"Yes, these foreign shipping companies are really amazing. They can actually do 0.6 lei per ton for 100 kilometers, and I will lose money for this price."

"Me too, 0.7 lei 100 kilometers per ton is the limit I can achieve. This is still the case when I am not making money."

After listening to their speeches, Hawke continued: “In fact, our problem lies mainly in management costs. Before the war, Romania’s import and export volume was not large, and the shipping industry was very prosperous at that time. Living in it is interesting. However, there are too many merchant ships and the volume of transportation is greatly reduced. In this case, everyone needs to reduce costs. For example, maintenance costs, and the number of crews must also be maximized, and in terms of preservation and office costs We must also achieve the ultimate ~lightnovelpub.net~ in order to reduce our costs and compete with these foreign shipping companies."

Everyone knows what Hawke said, but really wanting to cut these expenses is not so easy. Not to mention the others, they are all people I know and others have been busy with the company for more than ten years. It makes sense to kick him.

From here, we can see the deficiencies of Hawke and others. When the shipping companies with family and fellow-township as the link are faced with the downturn in the industry and competition from modern foreign companies, adjustments are slow and cost pressures are too great. The shipping company at the scene didn't start by following the boat in the first place. It’s just that it was inconvenient to care too much about obstacles and reputation before, and now it’s no good to ignore it.

But Hawke's words told them, but now they are facing life and death before some friendships are completely ignored, or they will die together.

"So what are you going to do?"

"We all listen to you."

Hearing these two sentences, Hawke calmly said what he thought of.

"There are two ways now."
