Chapter 13: Buy a big boat out of the waves!

Wang Yu and the experts he brought were full of praise for the two artworks carved by Lei Tian Tang, but he would not have so much money in the company to buy such top products for a while, so he had to spend 160 million to use Lei Tian Tang. The dozen or so pieces of jewelry made from the remaining materials were all packaged and bought, and these jewelry are also very popular in the market. Their company will also develop some high-end customers because of the top jade.
　　 So even though Wang Yu was jealous of Lei Tiantang's two artworks, he still helped Lei Tiantang figure out how to sell them more cost-effectively. He directly recommended the Beijing branch of Sotheby's Auction House to Lei Tiantang, because as a top international auction house, Sotheby's has enough customers to bid for these two works of art, which is very effective in raising the auction price.
　　 Lei Tian Tang accepted Wang Yu's suggestion and sent Wang Yu away, so he contacted the Beijing branch of Sotheby's Auction House. It just so happens that Sotheby's is now calling for the 2019 spring auction. Sotheby's is very enthusiastic about the top jade artworks that Lei Tiantang has brought out. The manager of the auction house personally brings experts to deal with related business.
　　 After expert appraisal of the two artworks, the estimated value of the two statues is 600 million yuan in total. Of course, this is the reserve price for the initial auction. When the auction is actually launched, the final transaction price will definitely increase a lot. This is Sotheby's confidence.
　　 When I learned that Lei Tian Tang needed cash now, Sotheby's provided an interest-free loan of RMB 400 million, which was regarded as a prepayment for the goods in advance. Lei Tiantang was very satisfied with this. He planned to order his own salvage ship in two days. According to his plan, the price of this salvage ship would not be too low.
　　 Lei Tiantang checked the information on the Internet and found that the most advanced salvage vessel in China is a large river-class ocean salvage rescue vessel. It has a length of 156 meters, a width of 20 meters, and a draft of 16 meters. The speed can reach 20 knots and the endurance is 18,000 nautical miles.
　　 At present, the various fleets of the navy have the Oe-class in service, and the Oe-class ocean-going salvage and rescue boat is one of the Chinese military auxiliary ships. Research and development started in 1973, and the first ship was started at Jiangnan Shipyard in 1975, and was completed and put into service in November 1979. It has a displacement of up to 12,000 tons with a full load, and a helicopter platform. It has two MANK9Z60—105E diesel engines with a total power of 18,000 horsepower and twin shafts and double propellers. Two 630 kilowatt diesel generator sets. Its wind resistance has reached level 12.
　　 Lei Tiantang felt that such a big ship met his requirements for going out, but unfortunately, because it was a military ship, he couldn't buy it. But he doesn't need the ship's level to reach military level, as long as the displacement and wind and wave resistance levels are sufficient. Moreover, the civilian grade does not need to be equipped with weapons and the like. The design can be made with the most advanced technology at present, which can completely satisfy him.
　　After comparing the detailed information with domestic shipyards, he finally planned to order his first salvage vessel at Jiangnan Shipyard. The reason is simple, because Jiangnan Shipyard has experience in building such ships, and they are military-grade. Choosing them to design and build civilian-grade salvage vessels can make Lei Tiantang rest assured.
　　 Now that he had made a decision, Lei Tiantang didn't intend to delay it, and bought a ticket to the magic city. After getting off the plane at Pudong International Airport, he directly called a taxi to the headquarters of Jiangnan Shipyard in Magic City.
　　 He was greeted by a business manager, because Lei Tiantang contacted their company by phone before he came to Magic City. Since he really has the intention and strength to order ships, the business manager is very enthusiastic. As for how to confirm that he is capable of ordering ships, this is of course the information provided by Lei Tiantang. Jiangnan Shipyard confirmed it through its own investigation. Otherwise, if you just make a phone call by yourself and say you want to buy a ship, who will believe it?
　　 "Hello, Mr. Lei, welcome to our Jiangnan Shipyard! My name is Liu Jianjun, and I am responsible for business reception." He said, extending his hands to Lei Tiantang.
　　 Lei Tiantang shook hands with him and said, "Hello, Manager Liu, please trouble you!"
　　 "No trouble! Customers like Mr. Xiang Lei come to our shipyard. We are too late to welcome them. If this is all troublesome, then I hope it will be more troublesome!" Liu Jianjun smiled.
"Hehe, that's true! Manager Liu, it is not clear on the phone, can we now communicate about the salvage ship I want to order and confirm the construction plan?" Lei Tiantang is still very concerned about this ship. .
"Haha, Mr. Lei, don’t be so anxious! Look, it’s time for dinner. Let’s have a meal together. When I come back, I will show you our shipyard so that you can understand us. You can also know it!" Manager Liu said enthusiastically.
"That's okay! I listened to Manager Liu! To be honest, I'm quite curious. I've never seen how a ship is built when I grow up, so I will take a look this time." Lei Tiantang listened to it. Liu Jianjun said that, he was not dissatisfied, because as an inlander, he didn't see big ships much, let alone how to build them.
　　 Had lunch with the enthusiastic Liu Jianjun. Under his leadership, Lei Tiantang visited the shipbuilding base on Changxing Island. To be honest, Lei Tiantang was shocked because his scale is too big! Under Liu Jianjun's introduction, he had a new understanding of this shipyard.
　　 Jiangnan Shipbuilding (Group) Co., Ltd. is China’s oldest military shipbuilding enterprise under China State Shipbuilding Corporation. It was founded in 1865 (the fourth year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty), and has gone through Jiangnan General Administration of Machinery Manufacturing, Jiangnan Shipyard, Navy Jiangnan Shipyard, and Jiangnan Shipyard. In 1996, it was restructured into "Jiangnan Shipbuilding (Group) Co., Ltd.".
　　 On June 3, 2008, on the occasion of the 143rd anniversary of Jiangnan Shipbuilding, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com officially announced that Jiangnan Shipbuilding had successfully completed the relocation task and officially settled in the CSSC Jiangnan Changxing Shipbuilding Base. CSSC Jiangnan Changxing Shipbuilding Base is located on Changxing Island at the mouth of the Yangtze River. It covers an area of ​​about 5.8 million square meters and has a coastline of about 3,800 meters. The main construction content includes four large docks and 17 outfitting piers. The planning program is the year of civil ships. With a shipbuilding capacity of 4.5 million tons, it is currently the largest modern shipbuilding base in China with the most advanced facilities and the widest range of production varieties.
　　 Liu Jianjun drove Lei Tiantang in his car and visited the docks where ships were being built in the base. For everything in front of him, Lei Tiantang felt novel and shocked. The giant ships that were under construction with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons were too large. Fortunately, he also knew that they were all transport ships and the salvage he wanted to order. The ship is two concepts. Although the tonnage of the salvage ship he intends to order cannot be compared with these Big Macs, in terms of value, the salvage ship costs several times that of such a cargo ship, because there are too many advanced equipment to be loaded on the salvage ship. Up.
　　 "It's amazing! Manager Liu, thank you for taking me here!" Lei Tiantang smiled and thanked Liu Jianjun.
　　 "You are too polite, Mr. Lei, if your order is confirmed, it will be produced and built here in the future!" Liu Jianjun said proudly.
　　 "That's great, so, we have finished the tour, let's discuss the details when we go back!" Lei Tiantang couldn't wait.
　　 "Okay, let's go back now!" Liu Jianjun was very happy to Lei Tiantang's affirmative reply.
　　 The two returned to the company by car, and Liu Jianjun began to discuss specific details with him. Because Lei Tiantang said his approximate request on the phone, Liu Jianjun knew that this was a big order, so he is now very seriously listening to Lei Tiantang's specific requirements.
