Chapter 1651: Prospects for air cargo

   "Air cargo~"

Yang Cheng pinched his brow and whispered.

If you look only at the performance of the global air cargo market in recent years, it is no different from maritime shipping. It is dead.

However, in the future, the development prospects of the global air cargo industry are really hard to say. There are several major factors: first, the growth of e-commerce drives the development of air express; second, the application of new technologies such as unmanned cargo aircraft promotes overall industrial transformation; third, the cold chain Air cargo is likely to become the main direction of future development.

First of all, as e-commerce spreads to the world with country Z as the core, this new era of trade will soon replace tradition and become the mainstream. It is currently maintaining a rapid and stable growth momentum, especially the emergence of cross-border e-commerce. Promoting the rapid development of multiple logistics methods in direct mail, collection and bonded areas will inevitably become one of the driving forces for the development of the air cargo industry. Yang Cheng has reason to believe that in the near future, international air cargo will usher in a fast During the period of development, it gradually evolves in the direction of scale, express delivery and hub.

However, the high-cost human expenditure of air cargo will be an important shackle that hinders the development of the industry. This industry needs to maintain high timeliness in order to meet the needs of rapid economic development, but the expenditure of labor costs makes it difficult for companies involved in this industry to see When it comes to profit, if the company has no profit, then what is it going to do?

Of course, with the advancement of science and technology, some people and companies have proposed that in the future, a three-stage unmanned air transport network concept of "large unmanned transport aircraft + branch line large unmanned aerial vehicle + terminal small unmanned aerial vehicle" can be formed, which can match and cover the country. The transportation needs of trunk lines, urban trunk lines and the last mile in remote areas will eventually realize the intelligentization of logistics transportation.

Once this bold vision takes shape, those who lay out the industrial chain in advance will undoubtedly occupy the largest share of the cake.

Finally, cold-chain air cargo will become the main growth engine in the future. Yang Cheng agrees with this because its potential market size is huge.

However, this cold chain is not the cold chain transportation of fresh meat and seafood in the traditional impression of people. Of course, this part is still not to be underestimated, but the pharmaceutical cold chain has greater potential. This high profit will be shared by everyone in the industry. With jealousy, Delta Air Lines is no exception. Recently, the company is discussing the modification of a cold chain special plane for exclusive transportation of high-tech products such as medicine.

The cargo department of Korean Air used to mainly transport traditional products, but now it does not even have the qualifications for cold chain transportation of medicines.

Of course, it’s not too late to enter the market. In recent years, the pharmaceutical transportation business has been showing high growth rates. However, due to the difficulty of transportation and strict requirements on transportation conditions, these business thresholds keep many airlines out of the door. Compared with other companies, Korean Air has a strong equipment and resource base. Compared with starting from scratch, the future is still promising.

At present, Korean Air has a total of 21 cargo planes, which will increase to 23 in the next two years. It operates on nearly 30 routes every week. There are 99 scheduled all-cargo planes. Korean Air currently has 10 B777F and 7 B747-8F. , And 4 B747-400ERFs, with a huge operating network connecting 120 cities in 42 countries. In addition to the largest Pacific route among Asian airlines, it also serves long-distance routes in the Americas and Europe.

In addition, Korean Air also has strict compliant transportation standards and a professional management team, which can ensure that more than 99% of the orders can be carried out as planned. The overall service process for major customers can respond to temporary emergency maintenance and other situations. Korean Air has sufficient capacity to partner cargo planes, or to change other flights for customers in time, to ensure the timeliness of delivery of goods. These advantages give Korean Air a strong competitive advantage in the international air cargo market, and further increase The key to the share of pharmaceutical cold chain transportation.

With the assistance of Delta Air Lines, Korean Air can easily obtain logistics orders from American pharmaceutical companies.

The key now is whether Korean Air can successfully obtain the certification of the International Air Transport Association Pharmaceutical Logistics Independent Verification Center of Excellence.

The certification of the Center of Excellence for Pharmaceutical Logistics Independent Verification is a globally recognized certification system for pharmaceutical logistics operations. The certification is issued after strict evaluation of more than 280 standards such as drug long-distance transportation procedures, storage facilities, equipment and regulations through world-class transportation experts .

Yang Cheng said, “Get Korean Air as soon as possible, and then apply for certification. During this period, we must formulate high-quality service standards, and train transportation procedures. Related employees in the company must also receive professional training in medicine. This is a long process. , But it can be done at the same time as your expansion plan."

Zhao Shangxi said excitedly, "Yes~ I must live up to the boss's hope~"

But he hesitated, "But the investment in the cold chain transportation of medicines is not small~"

Yang Orange nodded. Of course, he knew that the investment in cold chain transportation was not a small amount, especially for drugs with strict temperature requirements. Those sensitive drugs were even more important, such as vaccines and insulin, which require low-temperature transportation and refrigeration. Custody, therefore, for the carrier, the ability to control the temperature is a very big test.

Take Delta Air Lines as an example. In order to ensure the safe transportation of medicines and ensure the temperature required during the transportation process, Delta Air Lines not only opens the doors of the cold storage, freezer and insulation warehouses of the cargo terminal, for medicines with strict temperature restrictions. Real-time monitoring of closed conditions and temperature changes caused by the storage volume, and analysis of temperature changes in various facilities by simulating emergency situations such as power outages, and based on this, formulating solutions for various situations, through accurate temperature Control to ensure the safety of temperature-sensitive drugs during transportation.

At that time, Yang Cheng will arrange people from Delta Air Lines headquarters to come to South Korea to help Korean Air establish a strict temperature control management system to ensure that the temperature of medicines is maintained within a safe range during transportation.

The initial investment is higher, but once the advantages are established, it will be able to obtain high growth returns in the future pharmaceutical high-yield cargo shipping market, and these results will be intuitively fed back to the stock price, the market value of Korean Air and Delta Air Lines Will usher in a new round of growth.

And Yang Cheng will inevitably get huge profits in it.

"The initial investment is to lay the foundation for the future harvest, don't be stingy, anyway, there is a market to pay for it!"

Zhao Shangxi immediately said, "I understand~"

. . .

In the next few days, Yang Cheng turned around with a few girls. Of course, she didn't let go of work. Now the Zhao family is on the verge of collapse. With a light push, she will fall off the cliff and be broken to pieces.

Faced with such a situation, it is the wisest thing to abandon the car and save the handsome.

It is a pity that Zhao Lianghao, who has the courage to call the shots, is receiving treatment in the United States.

As the heir, Zhao Yuantai did nothing except throw cups and plates at home every day.

But Zhao Xian'e, the eldest daughter who had been out of the nut door, had the courage to make a decision. Unfortunately, she and Zhao Yuantai had a disagreement, and no one could convince anyone. In the end, the quarrel broke up, and the management at this time can play a role. The effect is minimal.

The stock price has fallen again and again, and it seems that there is no end. The whole society is full of scolding against the Zhao family and a crisis of trust in Korean Air.

At this time, the protest team composed of Korean Air flight attendants became the last straw to crush the camel.

Just after these 500 people protested in front of the Qing~Wa~tai gate for a day, a petition was revealed from nowhere.

It was written by an enthusiastic citizen, and it was supported by tens of thousands of people at the fastest speed. The petition was jointly sent to Delta Air Lines Korea branch. Those citizens who could not bear the notorious flag carrier of their country, Ask the company's largest shareholder Delta to take action to rescue Korean Air, which is on the verge of collapse.

Soon the content of this petition was sent to the top, and it was supported by public opinion. Many netizens said that since the Zhao family cannot continue to lead Korean Air, it is better to hand over the company to a more capable person.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it is not unacceptable for Korean Air to become a subsidiary of Delta Airlines.

can not only save the crisis, but also exchange for better development prospects, why not?

As for what the Zhao family thinks, netizens don't care, but think it is retribution.

With a public foundation, Delta Air Lines Korea Branch stepped up and stated that would seriously consider the content of the petition and give an answer as soon as possible.

Less than two days later, the person who signed the petition was surprised to find that Delta’s stock price has not fallen, or the decline is extremely weak, and the decline has been eased. What does this mean?

means that a large amount of money has entered the market to protect the market, and that the falling stock price has been dragged down with a very high price. And looking at this posture, it is very likely that it will not fall but rise!

what's the situation?

The magical netizens immediately found out the answer. It turned out that Yang Cheng made the move. He used CY entertainment and personal dual channels to buy Korean Air’s circulating shares in a frantic manner.

At the same time, Zhao Shangxi, who represents Yang Cheng, came into the eyes of the Korean people. This Korean American was frequently in and out of the Korean Air Corporation headquarters building and held meetings and consultations with the management and directors.

After each meeting, the reporter could accurately capture the photos of the Zhao family members walking out of the building with a gloomy face.

The people are boiling, and the people's wishes are effective. Delta Air Lines is not only likely to eat the shares in Zhao's hands at the price of cabbage, but also has a wave of reputation in Korea.

It can be seen to the naked eye that the next round of Delta Air Lines flights to South Korea will be full, and it may also increase the capacity of the same route.

At this time, Yang Cheng was sitting in the box of the clubhouse, looking at the waves of the Han River caused by the strong wind, with a sense of accomplishment stepping on the lifeblood of Korea.

In fact, it’s not wrong, don’t look at Asiana Airlines’ development in the past two years, but it’s still a younger brother in front of Korean Air. Mastering Korean Air is equivalent to controlling the fortress of Korean travel. Want to go out? I have to ask Lao Tzu if I agree!
