Chapter 2612

Pollard suddenly realized that he blurted out, “That's why you want to do ocean transportation?”

“Yes.” Charlie nodded and said, “I don't know how much you know about the Su family. Back then,

the Su family and my father didn’t deal with it very well. The Su family even set up an anti-Wade

alliance and united many other families. Come to fight my father together, so the Su 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, Charlie said again: “I originally wanted Doris 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.”

Pollard was silent for a moment, and said, “Charlie, 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 larger and larger. More and

more large-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 Asia, high-precision electronic devices and control modules

from Virtue and Japan, and then combined with China'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 two to three hundred. You may use cotton from the United States, fabrics from China, The

zippers made in Japan will then use labor from Vietnam, Bangladesh, and Romania. 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 The Su’s license has just been revoked, which is the key to speeding up the reshuffle of the

domestic ocean shipping industry.”

Charlie nodded and asked, “Professor Watt, I don't know if you are willing to do me this favor? Feel

free to mention the treatment!”

Pollard suddenly felt melancholy, sighed, and said: “Charlie, 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 second half of my life. No longer in business, no longer running for

money..."

Charlie asked in surprise, “Professor Watt, your lover has passed away?”

"Hmm..." Pollard sighed, “Hey, back then, the so-called entrepreneurial ambition was too strong. All

the classmates around us became executives and even partners of large groups, and many others

had successfully started their businesses. , Becoming billionaire rich 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 first-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 Japan 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, Pollard'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, Pollard will only teach and

educate people, and will never become a slave to money!”
