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

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license has just been revoked, which is the key to speeding up the reshuffle of the domestic ocean shipping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!”
