Chapter 238 15-ton Capesize Bulk Carrier (for subscription)
"Mom, why didn't you see Shiyu?" Zhao Ling returned to the family courtyard, saw the busy Cao Yuru, but didn't see Nie Shiyu, and was very curious.

"This kid said he wants to study hard, so even though it's winter vacation, he still applied to stay in the school as a nurse, so he can continue to study hard without being affected in school." Cao Yuru said: "I went to see it a few times, She has lost a lot of weight. Sigh, it’s really hard for her to go to a good university.”

Zhao Ling frowned: "Don't you eat this New Year's Eve dinner at home?"

"Well, I'm waiting for Taozi to send some New Year's Eve dinner to Shiyu."

"I'll go with Brother Tao." Zhao Ling said, "I have to go and see, Shi Yu is at school, if she studies hard, it's fine, but if she falls in love..."

Zhao Ling has already fulfilled her duty as a sister-in-law.

When night fell, Qin Tao came back, and then went to deliver food with Zhao Ling. After returning, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

The Spring Festival Gala was playing on the TV. Father Qin Baoshan went to celebrate the New Year with the workers. There were only three people left in the house, and it seemed a bit deserted.

"Is Shi Yu alright?"

"Well, she is actually studying the sophomore class by herself, and she plans to apply for the exam a year earlier. Really, I don't know what she is thinking." Qin Tao was a little speechless: "It's all my fault. There's a lot of pressure."

"As long as we don't fall in love at school, we should be happy about her progress." Zhao Ling said, and put a piece of meat into Qin Tao's bowl: "Come on, try that, you made it."

"it is good."

Cong Ju felt a little strange, the time I went to find Yang Dawei, I felt that you were as close as you are to yourself in the future, although you are still smiling, but it always seems to be separated by something.

Yes, Cong Ju quickly forgot about it, after all, I still have a lot to think about.Yang Dawei's pressure is very small, maybe that's why.

"Brother Tao, the Chinese New Year is only an eight-day holiday, so you can spend your time there. In the capital, just give us a call with your dad." Qin Tao said.

Married is the same as when married, especially in the first year, all etiquette must be fulfilled.

When Qin Tao said that, he originally wanted Cong Ju to worry too much, but outside of Cong Ju, he heard the same meaning.

"Of course I have to go here." Qiangcai said: "In the first year of marriage, if I go back to my mother's house to see, the old man must be unhappy, although I mean. Let's set off at night on the first day of the new year. We will be able to reach the capital on the seventh day, and we will leave in the morning of the seventh day to delay his leaving get off work on the eighth day."

"That's fine, he's too tired."

"You can find a driver, there are few drivers outside the factory."

Seven-legged toads are easy to find, but two-legged drivers are rare, especially the drivers of our shipyard and our transportation company.

Qin Tao still wants to marry it, but Cong Ju has already made a decision: "That matter, you have the final say!"

Cong Ju showed the courage of the boss of the group, and Qin Tao could only accept it.

"Taozi, he used to be able to talk like that. The husband and wife live together and discuss it. Daling, if Taozi bullied you before, he would tell mom." Nie Shiyu said.

"Ah."

"Mom, don't meddle with him. It's useless to tell him. It's better to tell Daling your father. He's much better than him."

Qin Tao laughed out loud.

The atmosphere became silent again, and Qiangcai looked at his mother: "Mom, is there any problem outside their factory? If there is no problem, you can help him solve it."

"It's used. His mother can still handle things outside the factory. Now we are going to follow the route he said. Our factory has ended the four wolves women's clothing brand. It is still wrong now."

Cong Ju nodded, the old lady has stepped down, she is still lacking in courage, and the branding is over, I rolled my eyes, and then said: "We must enter the first-tier market, Huating, we can put it in our Dingmai supermarket Outside, it's placed with foreign goods."

The supermarket only sells snacks, and also sells a few other things, clothing is one of them, and when it is placed with foreign goods, it will look compelling.

"A supermarket near Huating?"

"It's wrong, we don't have half of the shares, you just say hello." Qiangcai finished the small bag and took it up.

Qiang Caiyi nodded, you have conditional trust in your son, and what your son said will definitely come true.

While speaking, Cong Ju's little brother under the table rang.

"What? Lao Li is here? Is Lao Li celebrating the Chinese New Year?" Cong Ju said nonchalantly, "Are we here to inspect your production of natural gas ships? Is that so? Why are we here? Capesize bulk cargo ferry?"

Putting on the phone, Cong Ju felt helpless.

"The client is here, let's pick it up." Qin Tao said.

"Huh, those old folks are insulting our traditions at all. We are celebrating the Chinese New Year, why are we going out there?" Cong Ju said, "I just went today, and I will take time to visit us tomorrow, so it will be a waste of time." Let's celebrate the New Year."

"Brother Tao, business is important."

"Hmph, Lao Li is not so malicious, we have other ways to come to us."

"Is there a way?" Qiang Cai was curious.

"Yes, the 17-ton Capesize bulk carrier is a pit. The bulk carrier in the world today is mainly the Capesais type. In recent years, several accidents have occurred in succession. Nothing sinks, nothing breaks. Therefore, the major shipyards in the world are already accepting that type of ship.” Qiangcai said: “Lao Li is going to order a natural gas ship that is in short supply. So does it deliver orders?"

There are many classifications of ships sailing in the world, and bulk carrier is one of them. It specializes in transporting goods that are bundled, such as coal, iron ore, wood, livestock, grains, etc.

At the same time, those bulk carriers are divided into few types.

A flexible bulk carrier with a load capacity between [-] tons and [-] tons is a ship with a large tonnage that has a very weak adaptability to routes, canals, and seaports. Loading and unloading machinery and equipment are convenient and flexible to operate, so they are called "flexible".

Smaller than it is the Panamax bulk carrier. As the name suggests, that kind of ship can pass through the Panama Canal under full load, that is, the overall length of the ship is more than 274.32 meters, and the narrowness of the ship is more than 32.30 meters. This kind of ship, especially eight Ten thousand tons.

Smaller than it is the Capesize bulk carrier, which is used to transport iron ore. It needs to pass through the Panama Canal and the Suez Canal. When necessary, it needs to detour the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Horn, so the size can be made very small, 17 Ten thousand tons is a common tonnage.

Although it takes a long way to go, but because of the small load, the benefits are still considerable.After all, that kind of ship transports low-value goods, and the economy is very important, and the smaller the better.

But at the same time, the smaller the boat, the more problems arise.

That is definitely just to make it smaller in proportion. Before the ship becomes smaller, the stiffness will be poor, and the key parts must be weakened. Even so, once encountering light wind and waves under the sea, the bottom of the hull will be stressed. Yes, there can be problems too.

If it is a large ship, it can pass through the top of the waves. Although the turbulence is severe, it will hurt it. For small ships, the bottom of the ship may be beaten by a small amount of waves at the same time. These broken ships were all killed like that. .

It's like a heavy-duty pickup truck. When it's driving on a flat road, it encounters a pothole and bumps up. As a result, when it hits the wheel, the beam of the car breaks!
Although Cong Ju has been busy getting good things from Lao Maozi, I still know very little about the affairs of the nautical circles of various countries. No shipyard dares to build that kind of bulk carrier that has accidents one after another. ?
The other party came to his side and came down on his own initiative, which was aimless.

"Since that's the case, are you going to reject it?" Qin Tao asked.

Although Qin Tao did not follow Cong Ju's wishes and stay in the group as Cong Ju's secretary, Qin Tao was still very concerned about other matters. Since it was not easy, he just didn't make it.

Cong Ju smiled: "Reject? Why? Our shipyard has invested heavily and built a 70-ton dock. Now there is no order for a 17-ton bulk carrier. The two ships can be built together. Now, the investment in the dock will be recovered.”

Of course it has to be made!Cong Ju was very hesitant about this.

Qin Tao looked at me in surprise: "Does he mean that every small shipyard in the world dares to accept that kind of contract?"

"It is precisely because you dare to pick it up that you will show it as a shipyard of your shipyard." Qiang Cai said: "You can build any low-difficulty ship type, but you are definitely engaged in high-price competition. You can make it, but you have to pay a low price!"

The door-to-door delivery business, of course, has to be accepted, but it's just a pass, you have to make a small profit through that business.

In the future, our shipyard can only build ships of a few thousand tons. Even if we receive a contract for an aircraft carrier, it will only be of the 10,000-ton level.Next, we will build small ships of [-]+ tons, which is of no significance to Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group.

It's just that the profit must be guaranteed, and Cong Ju is doing cheap business.

Minju Shipyard Reception.

The reception area is also newly built. After all, with the continuous development of Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group, there are fewer and fewer guests. People always have no place to live.

Those reception areas are all built according to low standards. Although the area is small, they have cold water outside, TV and telephone.There is also a canteen on the first floor of the reception, which can provide us with delicious meals.

At this time, it was already less than eleven o'clock in the evening, and the group of people who had just stayed in the guest house could not fall asleep at all.

Kami Sigron, the chairman of Campbell-Follette in Belgium, stands behind the window. The position outside is wrong, and he can clearly see the lights outside the shipyard in the distance.

Although today is the eighties of the new year, the workers outside the factory are still working overtime, sparks are flying under the berth, and the huge aircraft carrier and 051C warship are being welded in full swing. Outside the dock, natural gas ships, yachts And the catamaran missile boat is also under construction, under the nearby tidal flats, the 70-ton dock is also under construction, and the gantry crane is back and forth, carrying tracking and domestic materials.

"Today is the most important holiday out there, right? At that time, we were still resting and still working?" Kami said.

"Yes, Mr. Chairman." Kami's assistant Kara Zhao Ling said: "Although the shipyard was established recently, we are in a period of vigorous development. We have many orders, whether they are civilian ships or not. Warships are still in continuous production. You have asked representatives of some shipowners that we are very satisfied with the construction technology there. Do you doubt that a 15-ton bulk carrier can be built there! "

"Hopefully."

Bang, bang, bang!
At that moment, all of a sudden, in the nearby sky, ugly flowers bloomed in various colors and styles. Outside its family area, crackling firecrackers also sounded.

"That's our fireworks, celebrating the arrival of the new year." Kara Zhao Ling said.

The light of the fireworks shone on Kami's face, and I said heavily: "I hope it will be a new ending for you!"

In the recent period, we have sunk two ships, and the operation of the company has been minimally affected. We have to order two more ships to make up for the vacancy.

However, we searched all over Europe. When these small shipyards heard that they were going to build 17-ton Capesize bulk carriers, they immediately shook their heads. We will face low claims, so we would rather make money than lose money.

Carl, who had hit a wall in seven places, came to the east with hope. It is a place where miracles are created. This natural gas ship has been operated by it. The ship owner has praised the excellent performance of the natural gas ship and the Mingzhou shipbuilding industry more than once. The technology of the group, so we can only come there and try it out.

Now, I'm looking forward to it.

Natural gas ships can be built, and bulk carriers should have problems!

The silence inside lasted until 07:30 at [-]. Kami lay under the bed, but he couldn't sleep no matter what. After a night of insomnia, he fell asleep when it was dawn.

As a result, I fell asleep until the morning.

Fortunately, I slept until the morning, because in the afternoon, Cong Ju had no time to talk to me. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Qiangcai wanted to pay New Year's greetings.

At eight o'clock in the morning, outside the office of Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group, Cong Ju and several of her superiors, Cao Yuru, Sko and others, received the visiting Belgian guests.

"I'm very sorry, there have been too few things recently." Cong Ju said politely: "Is there any way to receive them in person and catch up with the New Year? By the way, did they sleep well?"

"It's not bad." Kami said: "You heard that the quality of the natural gas ships produced by you is very wrong. Therefore, you will definitely be able to build bulk carriers that are more difficult than natural gas ships. You have already brought As for the design drawings, you only need to construct according to the drawings.”

After speaking, Kami winked, and my assistant Kara Zhao Ling immediately opened a small-scale drawing and spread it under the table.

There are still very few specific design drawings, and now we just take an overall design drawing, which can already be used for later negotiations.

"That's the design drawing of your latest Capsay-type freighter." Kara Zhao Ling stepped back and introduced to the west: "That kind of freighter is designed according to international common standards and has no limited service area."

The interior view of the bulk carrier is also similar to that of the oil tanker, with a narrow belly and the bridge set up at the stern. The only difference is that the bulk carrier has a huge under-deck at the rear end. , there are no openings one by one, and the goods are loaded and retreated through those openings.In order to prevent rainwater from pouring in, there is no special cover under the opening.

If you only look at the drawings, it is difficult to have a concept of small and large. Only by looking at these specific data can you know the size of the ship.

Eight hundred meters long and seventy meters narrow, much smaller than an aircraft carrier under construction!

"There is no problem with that design drawing." Cao Yuru said.

What, no problem?
Kami, Kara Zhao Ling and the others were stunned for a moment: "How is it possible, it was done by your best ship design company in Europe!"

"The strength between the No.70 No. 70 keel and the No. [-] No. [-] keel outside the No. [-] and No. [-] warehouses is enough." Cao Yuru continued: "The outer part is the center of the ship. When the ship sails in the waves, the shear stress on the shell is the smallest, so if it encounters small wind and waves, it is difficult to break the shell.”

"How did he know?"

After analyzing several accidents where ships broke, it was surprising to find that almost all of them were broken from that part. The lawsuit is still in progress. The design unit said it was a problem with the shipyard, and the shipyard said it was a design problem.

Now, the designers out there can see the design problem at a glance, it's amazing!

Although Cao Yuru is an expert in ship design, let me see it at a glance. This is pure nonsense, and it can only be confirmed before a small amount of calculation. Of course, it was Cong Ju who arranged for him to pretend to be a magic stick. This afternoon, Cong Ju tell me what to say.

It's just that the combination of theory and practice is believed by those who are behind the eyes, and can also establish their own humble image.

At this time, when asked how he knew, Cao Yuru didn't answer, but he just pretended to be deep here.

"It's really a design problem!" Kami and Kara Zhaoling agreed: "Do you still have to revise the design drawings?"

"Re-modification is also difficult, just like your redesign. You can redesign a 17-ton Panamax bulk carrier with only [-] million US dollars." Qiang Caiyi continued.

With a design fee of [-] million yuan, it is estimated that only Cong Ju would dare to ask for that.

Sure enough, when he heard the design fee of 7000 million US dollars, Kami immediately stood up: "What? [-] million? Your best design company in Europe only asked for [-] million! They actually want [-] million?"

"So, a defective product was designed." Cong Ju said: "Cheap and good stuff!"

The person on the opposite side is dumb, the design fee is 7000 million, the design is no problem, there is [-] million, it should be taken for granted, but, that is too bad, right?
Even the construction of two 17-ton Panamax bulk carriers cost 7000 million U.S. dollars!After all, it is a civilian ship, which is comparable to a military ship.

(I have found the cost in the 40s, but only in 2020, the 70-ton bulk carrier was only 4000 million U.S. dollars, so in the early 40s, it should have cost 8000 million.)
"President Qin, can it be cheaper?" Kara Zhao Ling asked cautiously.

"There is no cheap way." Cong Ju said: "If they want to pay for the design fee, you can manufacture it according to the design drawings, and then you will spend a penny for the design fee."

?Both Kami and Kara Zhao Ling are confused, what is he talking about?
With the original drawings?Is that a problem-free drawing?What should I do if I use that blueprint to build a ship and it sinks?They will say that it is a problem with the drawings, and then they are talking again!
"Quality problems can be solved by using low-weakness steel." Cong Ju said: "You just need to lower the standard by one level. For example, you use steel with a yield of more than [-] MPa to build. There is a problem."

The drawings are indeed flawless, but there is still no way to make up for it, which is to use low-weakness materials!

The steel used for civilian ships only has a yield strength of less than [-] MPa, and warships only use advanced materials with a yield strength of [-] to [-] MPa. Aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines use even lower materials. Now, Cong Ju actually gave us The kind of steel used for bulk carriers!
How much does it cost?

Kami swallowed, and then said, "Boss Qin, that kind of steel must be very expensive, right?"

"Yes, the use of that kind of steel will increase the construction cost of the ship. If they build less, it is more convenient to modify the design drawings. If they only order one or two, it is still cost-effective to use low-weakness steel." Cong Ju Said: "He is waiting, you do the math for him."

Then, Qiangcai grabbed the abacus on the side and flicked it out, chanting without words, one by one, seven by seven.

After playing with the abacus for a while, Cong Ju said: "The price of such a 17-ton bulk carrier should be around 8000 million U.S. dollars. If there are two ships, it will be 2000 million U.S. dollars. Yes, compared to modifying the design drawings, it is still that kind of ship. It’s a good deal, if they want to build seven or seven ships, they should modify the blueprint.”

$8000 million, a bulk carrier?

Kami's throat moved, is that a money grab?In Europe, two 8000 million US dollars can be made!In the east, there is no advantage in labor cost. Other shipyards negotiate contracts and rely on high prices to win orders. Why do they still increase when they go there?

It hurts!
At this time, Qiangcai had already stood up: "It seems that you are going to think about it. They will think about it first. When they think about it, they will reply to you."

Cong Ju is leaving?
Of course I'm leaving.

The set has already been put on, and I just wait for the other party to come over step by step. It's just that the price has doubled, and people have to think about it. There is no time to rush.

Cong Ju and Cao Yuru walked out, and Sco's footsteps were half a beat faster. You looked at the people present and said, "They have to make up their minds quickly! Your shipyard's orders are already full, if they hurry up It is decided that once the berth is occupied, if you want a ship, you will probably have to wait for a few years, and there will be no orders for eight or seven natural gas ships on hand."

Scott's male voice is very gentle.

After speaking, you walked out slowly.

"President Qin, will we take the bait?" Cao Yuru and Cong Ju asked loudly as they walked out.

"If we have no choice, can we come to our shipyard?" Cong Ju said: "Although our price is low, at least we can build it for us, and other shipyards will take over the job, that is, we don't have that. ability."
