Charlie said, "That will not be necessary. The reason why I am calling you is because I want to ask for your advice on certain matters."
Doris hurriedly said, "Young Master, you are being too polite with me. You can just speak up if you have any questions for me, and I will certainly try my best to answer you."
Charlie replied, "I am interested to venture into the ocean shipping industry. It so happens that the Ito family from Japan would be able to provide me with a lot of help and resources. Besides that, I also have a lot of funds in my own hands. So, I want to find an opportunity to start working on this ocean shipping business." s
"However, the current problem that I am facing right now is that I cannot find a suitable person to help me t o take charge of this project. So, I want to ask you if you have any good ideas, or if you will be able to temporarily help me to build up this ocean shipping business?" 3
"If you can do so, I will not be stingy with your salary, and I will certainly give you a satisfactory amount for your hard work." 1
After listening to Charlie’s words, Doris said seriously,
"Young Master, if you need me to, I would be willing to do anything for you..." 1
As she spoke, Doris hesitated for a moment before she said, "But for a large-scale project such as the ocean shipping business, even if you were to do it casually, the start-up capital would also cost you tens of billions of dollars. It is indeed a really big matter..."
"Although I did a pretty good job in managing Emgrand Group, I was mainly responsible for the commercial real estate development projects. To be honest, firstly, I do not have a comprehensive understanding of the ocean shipping industry, and secondly, I do not have an understanding of the international trade rules."
"I also do not understand the import and export trade rules, regulations, and all of the tax-related policies of other overseas countries. If you were to ask me to deal with this project, it might actually take me a long time to understand all of these regulations and conditions clearly before I can build up a team. In that case, even the preliminary work might take me several years, then..."
When Charlie heard this, he instantly understood what Doris was trying to say. So, he asked her, "So, are you recommending that I should look for a professional counterpart instead?" 4
"Yes.” Doris explained, "You will have to deal and connect with many mainstream companies from all countries around the world in the ocean shipping industry." "The closest ones are from Japan and South Korea, followed by the oil-producing countries in the Middle East and Australia, and then there are also companies from Europe and the United States."
"These are just the main counterparts that I am talking about. Although there is not much demand from the mainstream companies in other second-tier countries, if you were to add all of the demands together, the total amount would actually be very huge."
