Chapter 809: 10,000 tons

But it is said that Mao has a kind of topic that is crooked and hurried? Didn't I come today to discuss the affairs of the old Dong's son?
"Well, Grandpa Bao, where did we talk just now?"
"Speaking of the prospects of the old Dong's son."
"..."
"No, before that."
"Before, um, I think about it, oh, I said you want to buy a ship for shipping, this, Zhenhua, I have to persuade you again..."
Seeing that Bao Yugang's long talk was about to begin again, Tan Zhenhua hurriedly called to a halt: "Grandpa Bao, stop, I'm buying a ship, it's really not for shipping, I swear to heaven."
Bao Yugang froze for a moment and said strangely: "Zhenhua, the more you talk about it, the more confused I become. You buy a ship and don't run a shipping business to become a shipowner. What are you going to do? Is it possible that you want to be a cruise business? Isn't it right? I remember that you wanted to buy a ro-ro ship and a container bulk carrier? Or am I getting older, my ears, and I heard it wrong?"
Tan Zhenhua said hurriedly: "Old Bao, you heard that right. I am indeed planning to buy a ro-ro ship and a container bulk carrier. The tonnage of these two ships is at least 10,000 tons, and ah, I have some special ones. Request, so I came today to ask you for advice and ask which shipyard can pick up my order."
Bao Yu just looked at Tan Zhenhua up and down for a long time, and finally he couldn't hold back his curiosity. He asked, "Zhenhua, you tell your grandfather Bao to be honest, you buy a ship, but you don’t use it to run the ocean. What's your idea?"
Tan Zhenhua wanted to find a reason for prevarication, but after thinking about it, he did not do so. Although Bao Yugang was not as close to him as Shao Yifu, he was always good to him and benefited him a lot. He really couldn't bear to lie. Deceive such an old man.
However, that reason can't be said!
This made the expression on his face suddenly full of entanglement.
Bao Yugang stared at him deeply and sighed softly: "Zhenhua, you don't want to say it, grandpa Bao doesn't ask, anyway, I believe you, you want to know about buying a ship. Then I will tell you about it."
He sorted out his thoughts a bit, and then slowly introduced: "Speaking of shipbuilding, when I first ran a boat, the most powerful shipyards are undoubtedly the US shipyards, but they are strong and the asking price is high, and I don’t really like to build civilian ships, so at the beginning, my ships were basically built in Britain. I remember that at that time, there were more than 20 large shipyards in Britain that could independently undertake business. The first few ships in my fleet were Built in Glasgow or Portsmouth."
"However, things changed quickly. Waguni began to rise rapidly in the shipbuilding industry from the late 1950s and early 1960s. Typical examples are Mitsubishi Heavy Industries’ Nagasaki Shipyard, Hitachi Shipbuilding’s Ariake Office, and IHI’s love. Knowing the shipyard, these three factories are collectively known as the three major shipyards in the country."
"The ship built by Wa Kuk not only has a much better delivery schedule than European companies, but it is also much cheaper and the quality is quite good. Therefore, from the late 1960s to the 1970s, most of the ships I bought were built by Wa Kuk."
"After the mid-1970s, the shipbuilding industry in South Korea has also developed and quickly narrowed the distance with the Japanese country, especially in the relatively low-end and cheap shipbuilding, because the cost of South Korea is more competitive. Power, so I will also order some ships from them now. Among the shipbuilding companies in South Korea, Hyundai, Daewoo, and Samsung should be the leaders."
Speaking of this, Bao Yugang paused and continued: "So Zhenhua, if you want to buy a new ship, then I recommend that you order from the six major shipyards in Waguo or South Korea. The ship is more than 10,000 tons. No matter which one of these six shipyards can undertake, the quality and construction period are also guaranteed. You only need to bid for the price."
After listening to Tan Zhenhua, he smashed his mouth and asked unwillingly: "Grandpa Bao, why didn't you introduce China's own shipbuilding industry? I remember, I saw a stamp when I was young, and it was us. China has built the first 10,000-ton ship to commemorate the launch of its own ship. It has been so many years, and it should have grown a bit? The ship I want is not big, can't it be built?"
"I knew you would ask this." Bao Yugang twitched his lips and smiled: "Well, since you asked, then I will also tell you some things I know."
"Xinhuaxia has been able to independently manufacture 10,000-ton ships since the 1960s. As far as I know, there are "Yuejin" launched in 1963, "Dongfeng" launched in 1965, and "Fengqing" launched in 1974. Three ocean-going cargo ships and the "Daqing" large oil tanker launched in 1969. I estimate that by the end of the 1970s, there will be about 10 10,000-ton-class ships built by Xinhuaxia. The stamp you are talking about is the same year. A commemorative stamp issued when the "Yuejin" was launched, unfortunately, the ship hit a rock and sank on its first voyage."
Tan Zhenhua nodded. He knew about the "Yuejin" sinking incident. He even knew that the place where the ship sank was on the sensitive reef-Su Yan Jiao.
However, before he cared about the 4.6-meter reef under the sea, he asked: "So, China has the ability to build 10,000 tons of ocean-going ships. Then, Grandpa Bao, do you think I can take this Should the construction of the two ships be carried out by China’s own shipyard?"
"Of course it is possible, but you have to be prepared for Zhenhua."
"What to prepare?"
"Don't worry, listen to me tell a story first." Bao Yugang showed a childlike smile on his face, winking at Tan Zhenhua and said: "Last year, a kid fooled us and a group of old men walked. Huaxia, then tried everything possible to empty our pockets, do you know about this, Zhenhua?"
"Uh, this..." Young Master Tan Er said heartily, isn't this just talking about me? A group of elders from the Yonggang Club visited China for a whole circle, and even the donations for their hometown, plus the investment to subscribe for equity in several companies, seemed to have indeed spent a lot of small money...
There seems to be something wrong...
"Grandpa Bao, you donated money plus the money you invested. Later, in London, I multiplied it several times and helped you earn it back!" Xiao Tan Tan's tone was obviously uneasy.
"Well, it's not bad, we have indeed earned it back several times, so ah, the elders of the Ningbo-Hong Kong Association all praise you, but the point is not this. The point is that after I came back, I was invited to go again. Have a trip to the capital, do you know this?"
Tan Zhenhua really knows this. He heard from Shao Yifu that when Prime Minister Iron Lady visited China Capital in September last year to negotiate the Xiangjiang issue with the Grand Elder, Bao Yugang attended the welcome held at the airport as a representative of Xiangjiang’s industry and commerce. The ceremony of Mrs. Thatcher.
Seeing him nodding, Bao Yugang continued with a smile and said: "On that trip to the capital, in addition to meeting the great elder, I also negotiated a deal with a great leader. Guess who it was?"
