Norman suddenly realized and then he blurted out, "That's why you want to do ocean transportation?"
"Yes." Chris nodded and said, "I don't know how much you know about the Goku family. Back then, the Goku family and my father didn't go together very well. The Goku family even set up an Anti-Arthur alliance and united many other families. Come to fight my father together, so the Goku family is also an enemy in my eyes. Now that family's ocean transportation business is completely stranded. I think it is a good opportunity for me to take advantage of it. So I moved this idea."
After speaking, Chris said again: "I originally wanted Stella to take over this business, but he told me that doing this business requires a very thorough understanding of international trade and the laws and regulations and tax policies of major trading countries in the world. Understand, she feels she is not competent, so she recommended you to me…"
"It just so happened that we just met last night, so I came to visit today and wanted to ask you to come out and help. I didn't expect you to be my mother's former classmate."
Norman was silent for a moment, and said, "Chris, now you choose ocean transportation as your entry point. This judgment is very correct."
"In the future, the proportion of global trade will definitely become huger and huger. More and more huge-scale manufacturing companies have begun to engage in global supply chains. Take the automobile industry as an example. A car is used in Brazil and Australia. Steel made from iron ore, rubber originally produced in Southeast the continent, high-precision electronic devices and control modules from Virtue and Onal, and then combined with Springs's other upstream and downstream industrial chains and labor."
"Among them, most of the transportation of raw materials, spare parts, and complete vehicles rely on shipping."
"Not to mention the automobile industry. Even clothing is now a global supply chain. You can buy a coat for 2 to 3 hundred. You may use cotton from the United States, fabrics from Springs, The zippers made in Onal will then use labor from Vietnam, Bangladesh, and Amorania. Finally, they will be shipped from these producing countries to the country and sold to you."
"With more and more global supply chains like this, the ocean shipping market will get better and better. The Goku's license has just been revoked, which is the key to speeding up the reshuffle of the domestic ocean shipping industry."
Chris nodded and asked, "Professor Eugene, I don't know if you are willing to do me this favor? Feel free to mention the treatment!"
Norman suddenly felt melancholy, sighed, and said: "Chris, let me tell you heart-wrenching words, if I don't give up my job, then I might now be the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, or even Like Tim Cook, Apple's CEO, who made more than 100 million U.S. dollars a year easily, the reason why I gave up my high income and chose to teach in college was that I swore before my lover's grave that I would only teach in the 2nd half of my life. No longer in business, no longer running for money…"
Chris asked in surprise, "Professor Eugene, your lover has passed away?"
"Hmm…" Norman sighed, "Hey, back then, the so-called entrepreneurial ambition was too strong. All the classmates around us became executives and even partners of huge groups, and many others had successfully started their businesses. Becoming bilGemelliire wealthy man, I was not willing to be behind others, so I work very hard, staying at home for less than a month all year round…"
"At that time, I was flying around the world in 1st-class every day, and I didn't have time to care about the lives of my wife and children."
"Once, when I was on a business trip in Onal to discuss a project, my wife called and told me that she always had headaches recently, but I didn't have time to take care of it. I just let her take some ibuprofen or go to the hospital to see a doctor….."
"But who would have thought that after half a year, she would leave me because of a malignant brain tumor…"
Having said that, Norman's eyes were red, and he reproached himself: "From the day she was diagnosed, I realized the fatal mistakes I had made in the past so many years."
"Money is important, but money is by no means a panacea. Money can't replace love, family affection, or health."
"No matter how much I earn, I can't change my lover's life, nor can I change my daughter's true forgiveness to me…"
"So at that moment, I swear to her that from now on, Norman will only teach and educate people, and will never become a slave to money!"
