However, as soon as Lan Baolin stopped in front of the booth of Continental Transportation Group, the president of Continental Transportation Group immediately stood up.
Tian Guorang was very excited. He was one of the few people who could understand Lan Baolin's investment plan and approve of this idea. The reason for this was that the Continental Transportation Group had a history of five years and had gone through too many ups and downs. It had experienced several twists and turns in Shangguo and was familiar with Shangguo's capital operation methods. It also looked forward to such an injection of capital.
Lan Baolin also got straight to the point: "I wonder if Mr. Tian welcomes my arrival?"
"Welcome, of course you are welcome! Someone, bring out the latest and best spiritual tea."
Tian Guorang asked his secretary to prepare tea while he personally invited Lan Baolin to his seat.
Facing Tian Guorang, Lan Baolin was very direct. He didn't need to explain what investment banking was like before, so he got straight to the point: "Mr. Tian, I would like to hear your views, prospects, and shortcomings of Continental Transportation Group. Is that okay?"
"Of course, no problem." Tian Guorang said calmly: "For now, I value mainland transportation more. Shangguo now has three main modes of transportation. Land transportation, water transportation, and air transportation. Among them, the cost of land transportation is higher than that of water transportation, but much lower than that of air transportation, and it is more flexible. Most of the transportation now is still land transportation. Water transportation and air transportation cannot be supplemented by land transportation. Without land transportation, water transportation and air transportation cannot operate effectively; but without water and air transportation, land transportation can still exist alone. Therefore, land transportation is the core of transportation. Secondly, we are not hostile to water transportation and air transportation. In fact, most of the transportation is land transportation. The Lu Group also has this business, which is an indispensable and necessary component. However, with the emergence and popularization of teleportation arrays, land transportation will have a longer-term development. Especially at this stage, teleportation arrays are generally small and can only be transported by vehicles; so I conclude that in the foreseeable future, that is, in the next 30 years, land transportation will still be the mainstream mode of transportation. Of course, land transportation also has disadvantages. Compared with ship transportation, the carrying capacity is too small; compared with airplanes, the speed is too slow. I predict that if the current storage technology maintains the current development speed, in 30 years, the cost price of air transportation will likely be lower than that of land transportation. Because air transportation does not require the construction of a large road network. "
"Then, land transportation will be eliminated?" asked Lan Baolin.
"No, never! People's travel, life, etc. still rely on land transportation. In addition, there is another major part of land transportation, which is railways. If railways also add a lot of storage technology in the future, coupled with teleportation arrays, it may be a better mode of transportation."
"So what does Mr. Tian think will be the future of transportation?"
"Because of their large size and slow speed, ships will gradually form mobile cities. Aircraft will occupy half of the market. However, ground transportation is still irreplaceable. Teleportation arrays will be promoted and become the main link between various parts of the fairyland. The fairyland will also become relatively smaller, and perhaps there will be no barriers between different places. The teleportation array will make the entire fairyland a whole. The future of national governance will rely on transportation."
