Chapter 156 Jodie Foster’s Call
"woooo~"

Not far away, a long whistle sounded, attracting everyone's attention.

A giant ship with a blue hull approached from far away, slowly reducing its speed, and finally stopped about 100 meters away from the ship in Su City.

Originally, the ship Su Cheng was on was already huge enough, but compared with this ship, it was like the gap between a child and an adult.

In the absence of a dock, a safe distance must be maintained between large ships. The transverse distance is better, but if there is a longitudinal distance, a longer distance must be kept.

However, the current situation is calm and it is quite safe.

"That ship is our group's VLCC. It is the first oil tanker that arrived in Xiangjiang from Oman." President Qi stood in the cockpit, looked at the ship through the glass, and then answered to Su Cheng .

"It's so huge. What are the parameters of this ship?" Su Cheng became curious.

The ship he was currently on had a carrying capacity of up to 5 tons. He wanted to know how big the ship opposite was much larger than this one.

"This VLCC giant crude oil tanker has a load capacity of 25 tons and can pull more than 200 million barrels of crude oil. It has a length of 338.95 meters, a width of 60.35 meters, and a draft of 21.35 meters. It is not outstanding among VLCC giant crude oil tankers." Mr. Qi introduced with a smile.

"Isn't this outstanding?" Su Cheng was a little surprised.

"Yes, we previously ordered a 40.5-ton supertanker from Japan. However, the ship's draft is too deep and cannot be anchored in the Xiangjiang River. In addition, our group's development focus has begun to shift, so we actually regret it. Order this super tanker." Mr. Qi said helplessly.

"A 40.5-ton supertanker? Do you want to take over?" Su Cheng thought about it.

However, with the Great Depression in the shipping industry now about to come, it seems that there is no need to take over. We will see when the time comes and if the price is right, we can take it over.

Anyway, the shipping company that is about to be established does not need to consider taking on outside business for the time being. The first thing is to meet the needs of its own companies, so that the Great Depression will have nothing to do with it.

Thinking about Su Cheng, I stopped thinking about it and made plans based on the actual situation in the future.

Previously, as world shipping was still in a period of competition, Global Shipping Group, the king of charter shipping, ordered a 40.5-ton supertanker from Dongying Shipyard.

However, this is actually not even bigger. In 1973, a supertanker with a single ship capacity of 47.7 tons appeared.

By 1981, the largest ship in human history was even built, the 56-dwt "Sea Giant" oil tanker, with a full-load tonnage of 82.5 tons, known as ULCC.

At this time, some companies even began to design oil tankers with a deadweight of 100 million tons.

However, with the advent of the unprecedented Great Depression in the world's shipping industry, the competition among shipyards and shipping companies around the world has begun to fade.

The 56-tonne oil tanker "Sea Giant" has always maintained the record as the world's largest oil tanker. This situation has not changed until the world when Sioux City traveled over.

At this time, a tender came over from the dock, and then towed more than a dozen oil hoses back and forth from the VLCC tanker on the opposite side to the tanker in Sioux City.

On the other side of the row of VLCC oil tankers, there is also a 5-ton heavy-duty oil tanker like the one in Sioux City, which is towing an oil pipeline by a feeder.

"Most of our oil tankers are equipped with a series of complex oil loading and unloading systems, so even transshipment is a breeze, it just takes some time." Mr. Qi introduced with a smile. "How long will it take to unload these 200 million barrels of crude oil?" Su Cheng asked.

"It will take about 5 hours for two 5-ton oil tankers to transship at the same time. The tankers that arrive later will line up for transshipment. In terms of time arrangement, it is sufficient. If we are too busy later, Our oil tankers can first dock at other crude oil terminals for transshipment. In short, our Global Shipping Company will handle all these matters for you Wentian Petroleum Company. We are professional in transporting oil!" Mr. Qi said proudly.

At this time, in the rest room of the oil tanker, dozens of reporters rushed to the windows to take pictures of the giant ship opposite.

It is not that there are no VLCC oil tankers in Xiangjiang. Some crude oil terminals in Xiangjiang dock with giant oil tankers of 30-[-] tons almost every day. However, the significance of this VLCC is completely different.

1.7 million barrels of crude oil. This amount of oil has been developed into various oil products, which is enough for Xiangjiang to use for several years. And this VLCC is the beginning of these 1.7 million barrels of crude oil.

Xiangjiang has never had so much crude oil!

After witnessing the return of the first oil tanker, it didn't take long for Su City to say goodbye to Mr. Qi and Zhang Qizheng, and left the oil base. Next, there was nothing going on here. He didn't have the patience to wait for a few hours to see. It's not interesting to transport crude oil to storage tanks.

Next, we hope that all the crude oil will arrive in Xiangjiang smoothly from various crude oil producing countries.

In the evening, Su Cheng received a call from New York.

The caller was none other than Jodie Foster, who was close to him in England.

"Su, I miss you so much!" The first sentence on the phone was Jodie Foster's longing.

After returning from the UK, Jodie Foster called Su City several times. Su City also learned that Jodie Foster, who had returned to the beautiful country, had become more and more popular because she had participated in the filming of many movies. busy.

"Girl, I miss you too." Su Cheng said with a smile, remembering the romantic history of those days in England.

"When can you come to the beautiful country?" Jodie Foster asked expectantly.

"Let's wait for a while. As you know, I have a lot of business matters. I have to deal with various things every day. If you miss me too much, you can come to Xiangjiang to see me." Su Cheng replied.

After a while, he is really going to go to the beautiful country, and there is still something waiting for him on Wall Street.

"Okay, Sue, I'm calling this time to tell you good news." Jodie Foster said happily.

"Oh? It seems that you are in a good mood!" Su Cheng replied with a smile.

"Well, yesterday I was a guest at Linda Ronstadt's solo concert. At the concert, I sang the song "I Will Always Love You" that you gave me, and it was well received by the audience. The audience welcomed me and they gave me warm applause. Today, my manager sister told me that many record companies have begun to inquire about me, and many media have also reported on me. I feel that I am popular in the music industry." Jodie Foster said excitedly.

"That's really good news." Su Cheng said with a smile.

"By the way, Miss Linda Ronstadt specifically asked me for information about you, hoping to arrange a song with you. The price is not an issue." Jodie Foster continued.

"Yuege?" Su Cheng said in surprise.
