To this day, the Base Mountain Territory has officially become a powerful force. There is no need to worry about the attacks of other forces around. The surrounding forces, whether they are southern elves or orcs in the east, cannot pose a fatal threat to the Base Mountain Territory.

To a certain extent, the Base Mountain is indeed a strong man, a strong man who dominates the other side.

But despite this, Zhang Quan could not relax because he knew that his danger not only came from this world, but also might even come from his back.

...

Earth, Xiangjiang.

This city is a very distinctive city. Because of its limited land area and overcrowded population, people in Xiangjiang have to find ways to ask for living area from the sky.

One floor after another, dozens of meters or more than a hundred meters high, stands up in the air, like a steel giant growing in the city. In order to facilitate travel for residents living on these high-rise buildings, there are also air corridors connected between these floors, and service facilities such as large supermarkets, shopping centers, and hotels and cinemas are established on the waist of the floor.

The residents on the high-rise buildings can even enjoy almost all modern life between these floors without having to go to the ground for several months. They can be said to be a city living in mid-air.

Walking among these tall buildings, feeling the fast-paced modern life of these people. Each of them is in a hurry, as if they are under great pressure, which makes Zhang Quan feel a little illusory and unreal. What is the purpose of these people who have lived in the air for almost their whole life, and are busy with fast-paced life every day?

If it were in the past, as one of these people, Zhang Quan could not have such research-oriented thoughts. However, as a superior, he always looked at the orcs under his command with an inquiry perspective. Before he knew it, he became a habit.

Li He next to him asked him

"How is it? You're still used to it when you come back! It looks like you feel very touched."

Zhang Quan was alert,

"It's okay, it's okay! I haven't entered the city for a long time and I haven't seen such a big world! Haha, some people from the village are here! Brothers, don't despise me!"

The second young master sneered and said,

"Hey! I said Quanzi! You are not kind, and you can't even joke with your brothers! Who dares to say you are a country bumpkin? If you are a country bumpkin, wouldn't we all become country bumpkins?"

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but frown, feeling a little uncomfortable. This guy always speaks like this. That's the truth, you can't say that! Haha! Look at what you said, the people from the Xiangjiang Gaia Group are all raised by Zhang Quan, where do you let these people's faces go?

Although this is unpleasant, it is rough and not rough. The entire Gaia Group is really supported by Zhang Quan alone.

Multinational groups say it is easy, but it is really difficult to maintain it in practice.

The modern global economic situation is not good, global trade volume shrinks, Gaia Group's main business, that is, the trade sector, profits are not very good, and it cannot support the situation at all. If it weren't for the large-scale purchase volume of the dog owner Zhang Quan contacted, which is fixed every month and maintains channel customers, maybe this system would have collapsed long ago.

In March 2017, Zhang Quan purchased scientific research instruments and materials worth 200 million yuan. Such a large purchase was naturally handed over to Gaia Group.

In April 2017, Zhang Quan purchased cement and steel, which also exceeded 200 million yuan.

In May 2017, in order to establish a computer network revitalization center for the Sugarth experimental project in another world, Zhang Quan also purchased a large number of computers and network equipment, with a total price still exceeding 100 million yuan.

Gaia World in Zhangquan purchases more than 100 million yuan of goods from the earth almost every month. Although this goods are not much, the profits left to the group are very high. Once the budget is balanced, it fills the deficit in other aspects, allowing Gaia Group to always maintain a market with a total volume of more than one billion yuan.

After calculation, the annual transaction volume of the entire Gaia Group is over 10 billion, which is already a large trading group with a very good scale in Xiangjiang.

Especially in today's market-depressed trading environment.

It is through this that Gaia Group has always stood firm in the industry, and under the surprised eyes of its peers, it has gradually begun to expand and penetrate into the logistics sector.

As the downstream of the market food chain, a large part of the profits are consumed in logistics. If the logistics sector can be integrated, then in terms of cost and scale, Gaia Group can officially enter the ranks of large trading groups.

This is also the only way for a similar group that mainly engages in trade, which will not advance or retreat under the current new situation of the international industry. In the current world, online sales have become a major trend. Although it is still facing obstacles from different trade tariffs and various trade protection measures in various international and regions around the world, it is still moving forward in a difficult situation.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the main form of trade in the future will inevitably become online sales, automatic sales and global centralized logistics. Under this new situation, traditional trading companies will inevitably gradually disappear, the core of the global trade chain will be transferred to the upstream of the industry, and logistics operations will gradually gain the right to speak in the industry, which is almost an inevitable trend.

Therefore, once Gaia Group has the spare energy, it wants to try to get involved in this area, which is also a necessity for survival. Unfortunately, integrating logistics is not an easy task in Xiangjiang.

Xiangjiang's logistics is mainly about dock containers. In a small place like Xiangjiang, which relies entirely on trade import and export business, it can be regarded as the best asset, and has always been in the hands of the most powerful people in the Xiangjiang industry. Especially the top one, the person is too big and cannot be watched by the Gaia Group at all.

At the level of Gaia Group, at most, it is to take a peek at the overall leasing business of the terminal. If you have sufficient funds, you can play this. As long as you have money, capital guaranteed, and are willing to pay rent to bear business risks, neither COSCO, Xiangjiang International nor even the Port Authority will refuse such a business.

Li He and the others are now thinking about developing this business.

This kind of thing is of great importance and is the most critical step in the group's business expansion. So Zhang Quan has to come back to grasp the overall situation. Otherwise, if he is unwilling, no one can do this without him.

Zhang Quan and his group came to Pier No. 4 of Xiangjiang International Container Terminal. This was the place that Li He and the others had negotiated with there. When they arrived at the place, the second young master said:

"Here, that's the one. If it weren't for that old guy who wanted to rush to transfer the business center, we probably wouldn't have the qualifications to get the operating rights. It took the boss's effort to negotiate.

This is a real deep-water wharf with a water depth of 14 meters, three berths, an area of ​​250,000 square meters, and a monthly throughput of nearly one million tons. If we get it and operate it well, this wharf can match our annual trading volume. Let’s do it! Quanzi, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Just take a try and you can get out of the market. In the future, our group will no longer have to worry about the shrinking trade volume. How about it?"

The brothers around him all looked at Zhang Quan with bright eyes. It was obvious that everyone had already reached a consensus on this issue. Now he is the only one who can decide.

In fact, what the second young master said was a bit too incitement. The container terminals were not profitable. They also had operating risks and had to worry about the shrinking trade volume. However, compared with the most direct trading companies, the terminal operations were relatively separated by a layer, and the impact was not so direct. Of course Zhang Quan understood this.

He thought about it, but did not make a decision directly, but asked again,

"It's okay to get the dock, but we don't have enough staff. Can we support the dock management? This thing is a very professional task and can't do anything without talent."

The second young master laughed when he heard this.

"This...ah! Haha! I said you were too worried. Do you think it was the time a few years ago? There are a wave of layoffs everywhere in the world. You have to say that it is difficult to find anything else, but people with two legs are everywhere. There are so many high-quality and high-educated talents in the talent market in Xiangjiang that are eager to find jobs? Is there any fear that no one will do it? No need to say, our brothers have already discussed it. If the dock is really brought here, we are all novices and can go to the dock automatic logistics management system! This is the most popular new technology at present! It is guaranteed to be fast and good, and can be used at any time."

"Oh?" Zhang Quan became interested and asked, "Then what's going on with this automatic logistics management system?"

Second Young Master answered,

"Isn't this the technology now developed and the degree of automation has been strengthened, so those guys have also applied computer automatic management technology to dock logistics management. Using radio frequency identification technology, robot technology, and a central computer system, it can realize automated management of container processing.

It is said that the latest management system now realizes full automation of warehousing processing. The entire warehouse is full of automatic robots to process, load, unload, store, and do everything, and there is no need for one person to operate it inside.

Although the current dock has not yet been fully automated, the degree of automation is already very high. Almost all processing processes can be included in the control of computers, and the dock throughput efficiency has been several times higher than before."

Second Young Master has always been very enthusiastic about this new technology, but Li He is a little conservative.

After hearing the second young master's statement, Li He was afraid that Zhang Quan would be deceived by the second young master and influenced his judgment, so he rushed forward and explained a few words.

"This... Quanzi! Although automation management is good, the investment is also very large, and it requires enough professionals to maintain it, and the cost is not low. The reason why brothers are considering this is because we do not have business experience in this area and do not have their own talents. So we simply go directly to this. Although the management requirements are higher, we are newcomers. We just happen to recruit newcomers, and then let the headhunting company poach some senior executives to make a new start and directly catch up with the latest trend of the times.

In the long run, this automated logistics is also an inevitable trend. Although brothers don’t know, they are willing to start from scratch. In short, they will never embarrass you!”

After hearing this, Zhang Quan felt something. Looking back at these brothers, everyone's faces were indeed full of hope. It seems that over the past few days, not only have he improved in the Gaia world, but his brothers' hard fighting in the dragon pond of Xiangjiang these days have also improved a lot.
