"In the summary report just now, I believe that friends who maintain good relations with the Navy have discovered some problems..." The commander-in-chief glanced at the assistants around him with a solemn expression, and then closed his mouth.
He can make a beginning, but he cannot speak the whole process. After all, he is the commander-in-chief of the navy, not a businessman, and some words are not suitable to come out of his mouth.
The commander-in-chief's assistant is a young officer in his thirties, with the rank of colonel on his shoulders.
The moment the commander-in-chief closed his mouth, the young colonel stood up, his posture upright. Compared to those generals, at least he looked more like a soldier, more like... .
"Good evening, everyone. I am the Chief of Naval Resources Management, Jess, with the rank of Colonel. I will preside over this meeting." He said, saluting the Commander-in-Chief and saluting everyone.
Many people were keenly aware that when the colonel introduced his position, he used the title Naval Resources Management Office. The Navy did not have this department before. This made everyone in the room feel a little different. look.
Jess continued, "Let me first explain to you the specific scope of work of the 'Naval Resources Management Office'. In view of the fact that there is currently no war at home or abroad, part of the military's transportation capacity and manpower are vacant. In order to save military expenditures , and make reasonable use of these resources, so with the permission of the Commander-in-Chief, we established this new department, and I served as the first administrator of the Naval Resources Management Office.”
"I believe everyone already knows me. If it's still a little unclear, it doesn't matter. You will remember me soon!" Jess is very confident. The biggest source of his confidence is not himself, but those around him. Commander-in-Chief, this is understandable. Everyone looked at him. He took a deep breath and continued, "Next, I will preside over some work matters this year. Everyone has listened to the summary report just now. Last year, our cooperation created very good economic effects and returns, but there were also many problems. ”
"According to our statistics, the Navy has cooperated with more than 3,167 private organizations and individuals in the process of temporarily converting excess transportation capacity to civilian use. Some companies have very high demand for transportation capacity. Even the local naval base cannot meet their transportation needs. However, the demand in some places is small, and on the premise of meeting civilian needs, there are still excess resources being wasted. "
"For this reason, our Naval Resources Management Office has analyzed and studied that the excessively chaotic use and vacancy of transportation capacity has caused some huge problems. In order to make the use of transportation capacity more rational and scientific, and to make the contact between the navy and the civilian population more purified, , with the permission of the Commander-in-Chief and other senior naval officers, we have decided to change the current way of cooperation between the Navy and you, and adopt a naval base excess capacity contracting system... "
The number of invited businessmen in the conference hall was actually pitiful compared to the number of more than 3,000 given by the Navy, but these were the people with contracting capabilities. Some small businesses and individuals have been screened out and they don't even know what's going on.
Wealth represents status and prestige in today's society. This is why everyone can still sit still when they know that the Navy is going to change its business methods, and there is no yelling like those losers. They are all rich.
Facing the silent venue, Colonel Jess was slightly nervous at this time. During the previous research process on changes to these operating methods, they felt that there might be objections, after all, this had hurt the interests of some people.
To give a simple example, a ship can transport 10,000 tons of goods, but a businessman only needs to transport 100 tons of goods, and at the same time there is no other demand for transportation capacity in the short term, the navy must empty 9,900 tons of goods. Ton of transportation capacity, a trip for this one hundred tons of stuff.
It is obviously not cost-effective to do so. The freight of one hundred tons of things cannot make up for the cost of using this transportation capacity. But it doesn't matter to the local naval base. Apart from the good cooperative relationship that has been maintained, the fuel costs are finally reported to the Navy Headquarters for subsidies. In other words, the local Navy gets the transportation fee, and then the Navy Headquarters subsidizes the power. Energy costs. The local navy made money and the naval headquarters lost money on fuel.
Based on this situation, a lot of expenses were wasted, especially as more and more individuals and organizations without strong capabilities began to seek cooperation with the navy, exacerbating such losses. In order to avoid spending a lot of the hard-earned money on meaningless things every year, the Navy Headquarters decided to change the current business model.
At the same time, in the process of contact with the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of National Defense believes that it is not appropriate for the Navy to have too many contacts with overly complex civilian individuals and organizations. It is hoped that they can reduce direct contact with these civilian forces, and it is best to find a partner. A reasonable and effective way to replace the current loose business model.
In the end, after a high-level meeting of the Navy with the participation of special commissioners from the Ministry of National Defense, it was decided to make huge adjustments to the current business model and change it to a contracting system for the navy's excess transportation capacity.
"This is also the final decision we made after many studies and discussions. From today on, the Navy will only contact the contractor and will not contact civilian forces and individuals other than the contractor!" Colonel Jess looked at the venue. The big shots sitting there breathed a sigh of relief, "If you have any questions, you can ask them now!"
After three minutes of silence, someone finally raised his confusion, "If we contract the transportation capacity of a certain base, does it mean that we will decide how to allocate the naval ships in this area?"
Colonel Jess nodded, "Yes, by the way, I need to remind you that it is not the navy, but the use of the navy's remaining resources. This cannot be discussed as the same thing."
There were some chuckles in the conference room. This is a typical mentality of deceiving oneself. Of course, this is beneficial to everyone and no one will say anything.
There was only one question in the entire questioning process, and everyone was whispering to each other. After about two minutes, the Commander-in-Chief tapped the table gently, and Colonel Jess immediately continued to preside over the meeting, "Since Everyone has no doubts, then we will make quotations for the remaining transportation capacity in each region, and we can raise prices to compete... "
A series of quotes made the conference room calm again, because these prices are really... amazing. Most people sitting here don't know the shipping capacity of a region and how much profit it can generate, but the current contract price has clearly exceeded their budget.
Take the Ilian Naval Base as an example. If you want to contract the transportation capacity of the Ilian Naval Base, you must pay 6 million per year. This price is obviously higher than the approximately 3.8 million to 4.2 million that Dulin pays Thomas every year. Transportation costs. For example, in some areas where heavy industry is the mainstay of the economy, contracting costs can even reach an astronomical figure of 15 million!
The obviously exorbitant price deterred most people, but at this moment, Dulin stood up, looked at the Commander-in-Chief with a smile, and said loudly, "I want two regions!"
