Chapter 173 Qin Tao: Anyway, I only pay 1000
That night, Qin Tao took Cong Ju to a hotel in a nearby town.

"President Qin, is this gantry crane weird?" Cong Ju asked. Although she was shocked by the huge gantry crane, she still had a clear mind. Since Qin Tao didn't make a decision right away, there must be something wrong. .

Qin Tao smiled: "It's a big problem, just dismantling and assembling, there is no 800 million that cannot be unloaded."

"What?" Cong Ju opened her eyes wide: "It only takes 800 million to disassemble and assemble?"

"Yes." Qin Tao said, "This is still an ideal situation."

The dismantling fee of 800 million and the sea freight of more than 100 million are close to 1000 million. Doesn’t it mean that the other party’s gantry crane was given away for free?

Cong Ju was shocked.

"President Qin, will the other party ask us to increase the price?"

"Increasing the price? It's been several years, and it hasn't been sold. How could they let us go with such a big benefactor like us?" Qin Tao said, "Anyway, boil the frogs in warm water, and come little by little."

Cong Ju was thoughtful.

I have never followed Qin Tao out before, but I heard that Qin Tao got a lot of good things from Lao Maozi, presumably, he also got them by this way, right?

It's obviously a pit here, but Qin Tao kicked the American down, and then stood by the pit and shouted, come on, come on!
"Anyway, we will pay 1000 million, and they will definitely agree. After signing the contract, we will pay the deposit first. When they spend more than our deposit, they will have to ask us to come." Qin Tao said: "We Give them a little bit, consume them to death, at most you will have to pay an extra shipping fee. It is cheap enough to buy a 100-ton German-made gantry crane for [-] million. However, it is estimated that there will be a long delay. Don’t count on the ship we’re going to build right now.”

Cong Ju's eyes sparkled.

There is no risk-free business, but there are various ways to minimize the risk!Qin Tao's way of doing business left a deep impression on Cong Ju. In the future, if she wants to develop from a skilled worker to a comprehensive talent, she has to learn more from Qin Tao!

The next day, sure enough, Williams came over with a guy.

"Mr. Qin, this is Mr. Jims, the person in charge of our specialized heavy lifting company in Florida. They are willing to undertake this business. They are responsible for the dismantling, hoisting and final installation of the gantry crane, but the cost is very high. Expensive." Williams introduced to Qin Tao.

Jims reached out his hand, shook hands with Qin Tao, and said, "Our hoisting company is the most professional. We need to use special hydraulic jacking devices to complete the disassembly. However, these devices cost money. Yes, so, we need a fee of $380 million."

After speaking, he looked at Qin Tao expectantly.

Of course Qin Tao didn't feel it anymore.

Needless to say 380 million, if you say 800 million, it has nothing to do with us!
"Of course." Qin Tao nodded: "Mr. Williams, do you have any objections?"

Williams' face was a little red: "This price is too expensive, Mr. Qin, I hope you can raise the purchase price a little more."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Williams. In fact, our base price is 800 million. You proposed a price of 1000 million, which is already very high. Last night, I called China. After serious discussions in China, I finally decided to increase the price. However, 1000 million is already the highest, if you still want to raise the price, then we can only go to Europe to see."

Williams was very helpless.

"In addition to the purchase price of 380 million, we also need 120 million US dollars in transportation costs. In this case, the price of the gantry crane becomes 500 million, which is too low." Williams said.

"Yeah, it's really not cost-effective for you. If this is the case, then you can keep it as the most spectacular sight on the horizon." Qin Tao said: "We have already booked the air ticket for tonight. Fly to Europe."

Williams felt the sweat dripping down from his forehead again. He was not in the trap at all. After all, the buyer was willing to buy it, and he could sell it for some money!
"Okay, then we can sell it to you at this price."

Qin Tao nodded: "Since everything is arranged by you as a whole, of course we have to sign the contract according to the overall package." Qin Tao continued: "We first pay a 20.00% deposit in advance, and after the crane is disassembled, we Pay another 20.00%, pay 20.00% on shipment, when the cargo ship arrives at our port, pay another 20.00%, and finally install it, pay the remaining 20.00%, how about it?"

Qin Tao split the 1000 million yuan into five shares, each with 200 million yuan, and paid slowly.

Hearing Qin Tao's words, Williams shook his head again and again: "No, no, you need to buy the gantry crane completely, that is, the purchase fee of 500 million U.S. dollars must be paid immediately, and then the disassembly and assembly fee of 380 million U.S. dollars must be paid , so that it can be disassembled, and finally pay 120 million US dollars in transportation costs, and we can hand over the risk to the insurance company. As long as the insurance is in place.”

Qin Tao smiled: "Well, then we will be Goodbye."

After finishing speaking, Qin Tao turned his head and left.

Cong Ju followed behind Qin Tao and also left quickly.Leave Williams and Jims staring at each other.

How to do?
They don't give in at all, and everything is done according to the other party's requirements?

Can it be done?
The landscape on the horizon is still there, rusting in many places.

If it takes another three to five years, it is estimated that no one will ask for 500 million!
When Qin Tao took Cong Ju to appreciate the exotic customs on the streets of the town, Williams and Jims were fighting with heaven and man.

Jims said to Williams: "We estimated that 100 million US dollars is enough for demolition work, and it is 100 million for installation. After all, we are using new technology. The first batch of 200 million needs to be called Our company, so that we can construct, anyway, as long as it is demolished, we can continue to get 200 million, and we can still do such a business.”

The two have been good friends for many years, that's why Williams asked Jims to make a fortune. He didn't know that this business would cost Jims a lot of money.

"God bless, our business must be completed." Williams finally made up his mind.

This specialized heavy hoisting company in Florida was actually established just yesterday to dismantle the gantry crane here, so as to save Qin Tao from asking the Germans.

Although Jims has previous experience in related industries, it is definitely the first time for him to use a gantry crane of this level.In his eyes, there will be no major problems with his original hydraulic lifting method.

When Qin Tao had a western meal with Cong Ju, when he came back, he ran into Williams and Jims who had already made up their minds.

"President Qin, we have decided to do this business, and we will follow your request." Williams said.

"You must be careful." Qin Tao said: "If a part is lost during disassembly and transportation, it will not be able to be installed, and the final installation fee of 200 million US dollars will not be available. You should hire a Experienced people to supervise."

Qin Tao will not leave someone here to supervise, it will cost money!As it is now, it is best to completely hand it over to them. If you want to get the final payment, you have to make sure that the parts are safe.

"Also, if you want to hire an insurance company, that's your business. In short, we will pay the money, and then we will go back and wait. By the way, in terms of time, let's make sure, how long do you think is feasible? "

"Half a year," Jims said.

"Then, if there is a delay, we have the right to give up the gantry crane and pay you additional compensation." Qin Tao said: "This is also an international practice."

"it is good."

The contract was signed. Looking at the contract in both Chinese and English, Cong Ju was extremely shocked. Qin Gong, that's amazing!This contract is completely beneficial to oneself, as long as the other party signs it, Qin Gong will lead him by the nose in the future.

Will these Yankees cry and beg to come to Mingzhou Shipyard for comfort in the future?
"I'll ask over there to make the payment immediately." Qin Tao is also a person who does what he says, and since the contract has been signed, of course he has to make the payment immediately.

With that said, Qin Tao picked up the hotel phone.

Both Williams and Jims looked at Qin Tao's conspicuous mobile phone on the table in surprise.

Qin Tao smiled: "This call is cheaper."

(Whether Big Brother can roam to the United States, the hero of East China does not know. It seems that the treasure island can roam to the United States and Europe. However, the protagonist is pretending to use Big Brother, and it is not a real call. It is a local landline Easy to use.)
After making the phone call, Qin Tao recruited James again: "Now, let's study the specific cutting. This is very important. Each cut part is between 150 tons and [-] tons. Moreover, we cannot Affecting the subsequent installation, the cutting position is very important, now, I have a plan."

Qin Tao is a shipbuilder, and of course he is very familiar with gantry cranes. This kind of gantry crane weighs [-] tons. It must be cut and disassembled before transportation. If it is cut, it is very particular. If it is cut wrong, it can be assembled , the lifting capacity will also be reduced.

This thing will eventually be reborn in the Mingzhou Shipyard, and Qin Tao doesn't want to lose anything.

Time has entered April, and when Qin Tao returned to Mingzhou Shipyard with Cong Ju, it was already getting hot here.

There were cicadas' cries outside the window, the drizzle was pattering down, and the meeting room was full of excitement.

"President Qin, with this gantry crane, can our shipyard become a large shipyard like Huating Shipyard?" Zhao Changshui said with a smile.

Qin Tao can make money as well as spend money. The order for the LNG ship brought the shipyard an income of 6000 million US dollars. However, before the ship was built, Qin Tao spent 1000 million.

At this time, no one would accuse Qin Tao of spending money recklessly, even Qin Baoshan didn't say anything, of course he knew what the arrival of this large gantry crane meant.

"The gantry crane will take about one or two years to arrive, so we can't count on shipbuilding now." Qin Tao said: "We will use the docking method of the floating dock and the No. 40 dock to complete the current order in hand. At the same time, we plan to build a large dock of [-] tons and a slipway of [-] tons."

"What?"

Everyone was shocked again.

How big is Qin Tao's satellite?
"The gantry crane we bought has a span of more than 200 meters. If this kind of gantry crane is only used to transform the current dock, it will be of great use." Qin Tao said: "Its span is more than 200 meters, which means, We can have a dock with a width of 200 meters. Since the width has already reached 200 meters, the length should be at least 400 meters, right? Isn’t such a dock a 40-ton large dock?”

Because I have a paddle at hand, so I want to build a boat?Because there is a gantry crane at hand, in order to match this gantry crane, it is necessary to build a 40-ton dock?
Isn't it too much for Qin Tao to do this?
Yang Dawei spoke from the side: "Qin Gong, currently only a special ship repair yard in the south has a 30-ton shipyard, and even our Bincheng shipyard is under planning. Is this necessary? "

Qin Tao nodded: "Of course it is necessary. Their dock is only 300 meters long, so longer freighters can't get in. Once our dock is built, it will be the first in the country. It cannot be repaired by other places. We It can be repaired here. We can build all kinds of large cargo ships, container ships, oil tankers, and natural gas ships, but I’m afraid it won’t be enough in the future.”

"How bold you are, how productive the land is, Mr. Qin, I support you!" Zhang Jinxi, who can shout slogans, said again: "Our Mingzhou Iron and Steel Plant will also make every effort to develop advanced marine steel to meet the needs of the shipyard. need."

Qin Baoshan nodded: "We respect the group's decision."

Anyway, the money is earned by Qin Tao, how to spend it is Qin Tao's business, and Qin Baoshan can also see that Qin Tao is very capable of tossing around, maybe he can really lead Mingzhou Shipyard to become the largest shipbuilding group in China ?
"Qin Gong, the design of the LNG ship has been completed, and I want to report to you." Yang Dawei was very polite.

"Okay, everyone else dismisses the meeting."

This LNG ship is the main source of profit for Mingzhou Shipyard in the future, so it must be kept highly confidential.

After all the irrelevant people left, Yang Dawei took out a stack of blueprints.

Although it was designed by a computer, it still needs to be printed out and sent to the boatman for viewing. After all, Yishui's automated shipbuilding has not yet started.

"The five spherical tanks in the front occupy most of the space of the hull, and there is a bulbous bow in front to reduce the resistance of sailing. According to our calculations, two MTU diesel engines can be used to reach a speed of twelve knots. The rear is the crew compartment and the power compartment, completely isolated from the front."

Qin Tao raised various design issues for them. They were responsible for the main design. I have to say that the design team led by Yang Dawei is still very powerful.
