Gas tank is useless? Watch out, I will only teach you once!

Chapter 117 A familiar fate! The eliminated of the times!
Seeing this result, Lu Ming couldn't help but sigh.

They are all the tears of the times.

But now it's good, it's a good deal for him.

After taking a quick look at the situation over there, Lu Ming nodded directly.

"Sure, Lao Xu, you did a great job. I'll choose this company. Please make an appointment for me. I'm going to inspect their shipyard production line tomorrow."

"Yes!"

Xu Zhengjun has obviously gotten used to Lu Ming's decisive character.

As if he had expected it, Xu Zhengjun contacted the factory director of Antarctic Star that afternoon.

After receiving the notice, the atmosphere throughout the entire Antarctic Star became lively.

If it could be acquired by Fuqiang.

Then their old shipyards would not need to go bankrupt.

There are hundreds of people working in the shipyard, and they all depend on the shipyard for their livelihood!
If this company goes bankrupt, a huge number of people will be unemployed.

So, with the welcome from a group of old employees of Antarctic Star Shipyard.

Lu Ming and Xu Zhengjun came to the Antarctic Star Shipyard.

Looking at the slightly old shipyard in front of them, Xu Zhengjun and Lu Ming couldn't help but sigh again.

"Young Director, don't you think this factory is similar to our former Fuqiang Agricultural Machinery Factory?"

Hearing Xu Zhengjun's sigh, Lu Ming couldn't help but nodded.

“Indeed, they are all products eliminated by the old era. If they want to become bigger and stronger, the most important thing is to change. Otherwise, elimination will be the inevitable outcome they face.

But fortunately, don’t we still have it? If I can revitalize Fuqiang, I can also revitalize this Nanjixing!"

After saying that, Lu Ming got out of the car confidently.

At this moment, Wood, the factory manager of Antarctic Star, had been waiting here for a long time.

When he saw Lu Ming and Xu Zhengjun coming over, a look of joy immediately flashed across his face.

He seemed to have a quiet temperament, somewhat like the researchers Lu Ming had met before.

But his skin is dark and he looks like a fisherman who works at sea all year round.

This contradictory temperament made Lu Ming curious.

What did Wood Yi in front of me do before?

Could it be that Antarctic Star can no longer sustain itself and the factory director has to take over the business himself?
However, Wood Yi did not notice Lu Ming's expression and directly led his employees to welcome Lu Ming.

When Wood asked Lu Ming about his acquisition intention, Lu Ming said indifferently.

"Don't worry about that for now. I want to take a look at the equipment in your factory, the dock, and the products before making any plans."

"Oh, of course, of course. I'll take you to visit our dock right away!"

After hearing Lu Ming's words, Wu Deyi did not refuse but agreed directly.

Under his leadership, everyone quickly arrived at the dock.

When Lu Ming saw the Antarctic Star's dock, he was obviously stunned.

How do you describe this feeling...

A big cart pulling a small horse?
The Antarctic Star’s shipyard is not small. After all, it built ships for the country in the past.

At its peak, eight shipyards were building ships simultaneously, making it a pillar industry in the area.

But now, that glory is no longer there.

After becoming a private enterprise, the workers' welfare benefits declined and a large number of technical personnel left.

Not to mention the ability to build destroyers, they now don’t even have orders from the country.

They can only accept commissions from some fishermen to build some fishing boats. Now they are also hungry and have no choice but to build fishing boats of various tonnages.

This means that they have to build ships with a draft of dozens of tons or even several tons in the huge shipyard.

Seeing Lu Ming's surprised look, Wu Deyi showed a hint of shyness on his face.

After a slight sigh, he admitted it helplessly.

"Don't be afraid of you laughing at me, Mr. Lu. Following a useless factory manager like me, my employees and I have suffered. Previously, I went against all odds and chose to enter the field of unmanned submarines. I finally achieved some success, but I don't have enough funds...

Now everyone in the factory has not received salary for two months, and basically all the shares that can be dispersed in the factory have been sold, just want to make a last-ditch effort. "

Hearing what Wu Deyi said, Lu Ming couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

This kind of idea of ​​breaking down and then building up is rare.

As for the other party's act of selling equity.

All I can say is that Wood is truly selfless.

Although it is a bit troublesome for him as the acquirer.

But the one whose interests were truly harmed was him as the leader.

Once the unmanned submarine is actually manufactured, the employees will definitely benefit, and the shipyard will have a chance to survive.

Unfortunately, the winners are the kings and the losers are the bandits. After all, Wood Yi does not have a brother like him who has a son by his side.

The research and development was only halfway done and they were faced with difficulties such as insufficient funds.

Now they have to sell Antarctic Star to maintain the survival of the old employees of the shipyard.

Shaking his head slightly, Lu Ming did not continue to dwell on this topic.

On the contrary, he was very curious about the unmanned submarine mentioned by Wood.

Hearing Lu Ming's words, Wood smiled awkwardly.

"Our unmanned submarine has gone through four rounds of tests, each of which was conducted by me personally. The highest diving depth has reached 200 meters. It has four driving batteries and can travel 300 nautical miles underwater.

The drone is equipped with a horizontal thruster and a vertical thruster and is controlled by wired remote control. However, due to the short diving distance, this experimental drone has not been recognized by the market. We tried to make 100 units, but none of them were sold..."

After hearing what Wu Deyi said, Lu Ming immediately understood.

Although being able to dive two hundred meters underwater is already very good, the capabilities of this unmanned submarine are limited.

In addition, it is a wired control method, which is very challenging for the operator.

Most importantly, this type of submarine is useless for military submarines. After being launched underwater, a sailor must be assigned to operate it, and recovery is also a problem.

As for civilian fishing boats, the problem remains.

One employee will be separated, so it is better to have a semi-floating and semi-submersible wireless unmanned submarine, or a submarine-launched unmanned submarine.

Of course, if the technology can make another breakthrough and reach 300 meters or even lower, this technology may still be bought by someone.

Three hundred meters below the sea is already considered deep sea.

At this time, it was already possible to survey some important marine resources.

For example, deep-sea oil fields and treasure hunting teams may be interested in this unmanned submarine.

But all these assumptions are based on the assumption that the unmanned submarine can reach that operating depth.

Just as Wood said at the beginning.

This unmanned submarine is still in the experimental testing stage and is not yet ready for market launch.

Of course, enough is enough.

For those businessmen, this product has not yet demonstrated its due value.

But for Lu Ming, this product is just right!
