and famous Shell Petroleum Same as Fubao From the Netherlands. Few people have noticed that the Netherlands has two large oil companies, but it is not an oil-producing country. Being able to get ahead in non-resource endowment industries, Shell relies on trade acumen, while Fubao relies on business skills.
In 1602, the world ’s first multinational company, the Dutch East India Company, was established. This is a trading company specializing in Asia, based on the fleet, starting from the Netherlands, passing the Cape of Good Hope, traveling between Southeast Asia and the Netherlands, buying Oriental spices, tea and other commodities at a low price, and selling them back to the Netherlands at a high price. At that time, many people were willing to invest in the Dutch East India Company, and the crew squeezed upwards were countless. The remaining people were waiting at the dock where the fleet departed all day, waiting for the merchant ship to return fully loaded.
The founder of Fubao is also one of them, he is waiting on the pier side On the one hand, a small building was packed down, ready to buy as soon as the merchant ship came back, hoard a batch of goods, do it yourselfBuy and sell. Who knows, after the merchant ship came back, he did not line up to stock up, but the people who bought things came to ask him: Can you rent your building to us to store the goods. In order not to waste the rent of small buildings, Fubao embarked on the road of warehousing companies.
At that time, the Dutch East India Company was the strongest “carrying KOL”. As long as the crew brought back from the East, the Netherlands would set off a wave of popularity.

Naturally, in the days when tea was all the rage in the Netherlands and even Europe, Fubao Company also made a huge profit from tea Share a piece of soup. When coffee entered the Netherlands, the same thing happened again.
Because of the high storage cost of tea and coffee, the “professional warehouse” has become Fubao ’s gold signature.
Later, despite the demise of the Dutch East India Company, the name of the Dutch “Carriage of the Seas” is still loud. At the Rotterdam wharf with endless fleets, Fubao’s warehouse has become the most trusted storage location for merchants. As long as the particularity of the stored items is presented to Fubao, Fubao will definitely find a way to satisfy it.
