Chapter 741: 254. Night Talk_3

Meanwhile, the maritime workers found it even more convenient, as they spent all their cash overseas, and the IRS had no way to investigate!

But regardless, with the establishment of the Apollo Chain and its contract with A&P, United States Logistics finally had a real partner besides Donnie’s industries!

“Cassie has already discussed a specific plan with the company and is preparing to present it to you, boss, tomorrow!”

Chris said with a smile.

Donnie nodded and said, “I’ll review it and get back to you tomorrow!”

Although these people were already his core team, that didn’t mean Donnie gave them his complete trust. Documents that needed to be checked still had to be checked.

...

Among these people, the only ones who truly earned Donnie’s absolute trust were actually only John and Robert!

Chris continued, “Boss, I have another idea I’d like to discuss with you!”

Donnie nodded and said, “Let’s hear it!”

Chris said, “Now that United States Logistics is preparing to officially enter a legitimate industry, I want the company to connect with more clients, and such a move will inevitably increase our operating costs, and might also lead to competition with railway companies!”

Although United States Logistics is not currently one of the most profitable entities under Donnie’s name, it could rank among the top in terms of future development prospects.

First of all, the warehouse development strategy previously decided by Donnie has already put United States Logistics at the forefront of all transport companies. Now, United States Logistics can guarantee to deliver the products that stores need anywhere in the United States in the shortest possible time!

Secondly, there is the current state of logistics in the United States.

At the moment, the American logistics industry is more focused on railway and maritime shipping, paying little attention to truck transportation.

Even though United States Logistics has now grown substantially, it still lacks competitors.

The main problem is that the United States is currently very unsafe, with highway robbers being a frequent occurrence. If it hadn’t been for Donnie’s bootlegging business which had already smoothed things over with the security departments in various cities, and the fact that Donnie provided weapons and equipment for each transport truck, it’s estimated that United States Logistics’ rate of transport damage would increase by at least 40%.

The issue Chris brought up was actually one Donnie was also concerned about. The reason United States Logistics did not have any conflicts with railway transportation was because United States Logistics occasionally needed to cooperate with railway transportation. Most importantly, prior to this, United States Logistics had not cooperated with many companies, as it was mostly Donnie’s own enterprises that utilized United States Logistics’ resources internally.

If United States Logistics were to expand its business territory, it would inevitably lead to conflicts of interest with America’s railway companies!

In modern times, one often hears reports about the slow pace of America’s railway transportation, which is incomparable to the speed of domestic improvements, but it’s important to acknowledge that the United States has long recognized the importance of railways.

Since the last century, America has been pushing for the development of railway companies. Otherwise, Vanderbilt would not have become the richest man in America before Rockefeller.

“In addition, Ford Motor’s trucks have also started to lag behind our transport needs. We need trucks that are larger and can carry heavier loads. I have compared many truck brands in the market and most are unable to meet our demands. If we can find a substitute for the current trucks, our profits could increase by at least 5 percent points.

The same goes for maritime shipping. Byron Zeman, who is in charge of maritime shipping, has told me several times that our cargo ships are now struggling with their load capacity. Moreover, the seas have become increasingly rough, so he hopes that, if possible, we should equip some of our vessels with heavy weapons!”

Chris laid out all of United States Logistics’ current problems to Donnie.

Donnie gave a bitter smile and said, “You really don’t want me to have a day’s rest, do you!”

Chris also smiled helplessly and said, “There’s no choice. If we want United States Logistics to complete a true corporate transformation and withstand investigation by the IRS, we must address these issues.”

Although Donnie’s relationship with the IRS was very good at the moment, that did not mean Donnie believed there would be no problems with taxes. One would do well to prepare for distant troubles even in the absence of immediate concerns.

It never hurts to think a little further ahead and assume the worst in any situation!

“Come to my office tomorrow, and we’ll have a good talk about United States Logistics!”

At that moment, it wasn’t possible for Donnie to resolve all the issues at once; they had to be tackled one by one!

“Understood!” said Chris, nodding his head.

After Chris had finished discussing his matters, there were basically no other serious issues left. Donnie had initially wanted to announce an important decision to everyone, which was that following the conclusion of the intense retail industry competition, Donnie had fully realized that the companies under his name needed a structural reorganization.

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

Currently, the cooperation among all of Donnie’s industries was essentially directed by Donnie alone, who would give orders and they would carry them out.

But this practice not only consumed a great deal of Donnie’s energy but also led to oversights due to Donnie’s busyness.

So, on his way back to Atlantic City, Donnie had been pondering one issue: he needed a department or a parent company to coordinate the issues between each company.

This would allow Donnie to free up much more of his energy.

But the current setting was clearly inappropriate, and most importantly, Donnie had not yet decided on the form this company should take, so the announcement would have to wait until he had thought everything through!
