Chapter 1010

Things in Africa have made Xie Kai big. Although poor countries are worthy of sympathy, they also have something to hate.

It’s the state of being barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes.

Kovarubi has been looking for him for many days, but he hasn’t seen him. In desperation, he simply asked Lao Fang and the others to talk to him.

Once to Tanzania, Lao Fang and his party all knew Kovarubi.



Xie Kai didn’t ask about the details, and stayed at school honestly every day.

It’s almost the end of the term. Even Mo Qi and Xie Kai rarely participate in the negotiations on the division of Africa.

It has been several days and I don’t know if Kovarubi is gone. When Xie Kai returned to the guest house, Zheng Yucheng was waiting for him at the door with a smile on his face.

“What’s the good thing? It’s done in Tanzania?” What makes this old guy happy now is that he has done Sonia’s shit chucks.

Zheng Yucheng nodded, and took a sharp sip of the cigarette in his hand, “The ship king is coming.”

“The ship king? Which ship king?” Xie Kai didn’t react for a while.

“The founder of Xiangjiang Global Shipping Company, the ship king Sir Bao Yugang.” Zheng Yucheng said excitedly, “Hudong Shipyard has allocated to us, and the 100,000-ton freighter is expected to get the order from him.”

“Finally got it done?” Xie Kai was also overjoyed.



Don’t want to be troubled by Africans these days.

“It’s just a while ago. If they had come a few days earlier, it might not have gone so well. The navy wouldn’t want to give us the Hudong Shipyard. Now it seems that the prospects are good.” Zheng Yucheng smiled happily.

It’s like picking up a big one and a cheap one.

Hudong Shipyard is currently producing 053 class frigates at full capacity, two in Bahrain and four in Saudi Arabia, all of which will be delivered in the next year.

The profits of these ships are quite high.

053H3 is built, although the tonnage is not large, it not only has air defense capability, but also anti-submarine, and ground target attack. The overall performance is quite good, and it is definitely a good thing for offshore defense.

Compared with similar warships in Europe and America, the overall performance at least looks much higher on the surface.

The Navy felt that there were more export opportunities, so it did not rush the shipyard to 404 as it did before the order.

“Isn’t the shipyard expansion just beginning?” Xie Kai asked.

Although the construction technology of merchant ships is not as complicated as that of warships, it is not easy to complete the construction.

Zheng Yucheng looked at Xie Kai, “You guys are confused when reading a book this time? Hudong Shipyard’s No. 2 dock was rebuilt in the 80th millennium, the berth was widened, and the lock was also expanded to 30 meters. Although a 100,000-ton cargo ship was built, Reluctantly, it can be built.”

Xie Kai really forgot about it.

When I first went to Hudong Shipyard, the director Li Qingming introduced it.

The original expansion was to build a 100,000-tonne ore ship in the United States, but the order was taken away by the little devil’s shipyard.

Hudong Shipyard, which had no business and invested a lot of it to upgrade its infrastructure, was in a financial crisis. It has been working for several years, and finally wanted to find 404 to take over to rescue the shipyard.

“Furthermore, isn’t there still block construction? First, various parts are produced in various supporting units, the dock expansion is completed, and then the dock will be directly assembled and constructed. The construction is completed, and the various systems inside are installed. “Zheng Yucheng said.

The plan was originally proposed by Xie Kai.

Building in sections is much better than building next to each other, from the bottom to the top.

“This is also to verify the technical feasibility of warship construction. There is no problem with 053’s segmented construction.” Zheng Yucheng took Xie Kai to the conference room inside.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

What Xie Kai didn’t expect was that the leader of Hudong Shipyard was also in the conference room with Qi Zhiyuan, who had always been in the navy-related shipbuilding unit.

They are having a meeting inside.

Xie Kai listened for a while, only to realize that these guys were discussing the expansion of No. 3 and No. 4 docks so that the entire shipyard could build four huge ships with a tonnage of more than 100,000 tons at the same time.

Fortunately, they are not discussing building several aircraft carriers at the same time, which is not too scary.

“Everyone, is it a bit too early to discuss this? Global shipping has always been buying large-tonnage merchant ships. Although they also have ore ships in their hands, ore transportation is not their main business…” Xie Kai I didn’t want to pour cold water on them.

Bao Yugang is now retired, and the shipping business of Global Shipping is all managed by his son-in-law.

Bao Yugang’s feelings for the country are definitely not something to say, but Su Haiwen is not a Chinese or even an Englishman, so the first consideration must be profit.

“Why is it early? The domestic ocean shipping has developed rapidly in recent years, and the ocean freighters used are all leased internationally. There are few companies that have large-tonnage ocean freighters in China…” Qi Zhiyuan saw Xie Kai pouring cold water and quickly introduced The current development of ocean shipping in China.

With the continuous advancement of reform and opening up, low labor costs and strong national preferential policies, China has begun to become more and more important in international trade, and the annual growth in import and export volume is very fierce.

China has begun to move continuously towards the world factory.

A large number of products need to be transported by sea.

Under such circumstances, China can only produce tens of thousands of tons of freighters, which is almost incomparable with the international transportation cost of hundreds of thousands of tons of super freighters.

“Also, the mining ship under construction has also been ordered by the Horwah International Trading Company which is under construction…” Li Qingming was also afraid that Xie Kai would object to this.

The expansion of No. 1 Dockyard is underway; 6 053 frigates are also being produced at the same time; even the 100,000-ton ore ship is also being put into production…

Except for the warships, the others are all invested in 404.

Xie Kai happens to be another person who can influence the 404 policy.

“It’s not these questions. I mean, is it too much investment to expand several docks at the same time? Can we not gradually expand and transform? Now even if the expansion is completed, even if we have the technology, can we have market orders?”

You can’t make a fat man in one bite.

“Now we have plenty of funds. If we wait to expand when funds are scarce in the future, there will be no time for orders.” Qi Zhiyuan said anxiously.

He proposed the plan.

At present, Hudong Shipyard is designing container ships, dry bulk ships and oil tankers based on the 100,000-tonne mining ship modification.

If there are too many orders at that time, even four docks will not be enough.

What’s more, big warships need to be built and preparations for aircraft carriers are needed?

“If you have enough funds, you can invest endlessly? Can you squeeze other project funds?” Xie Kai snorted coldly.

This thing is absolutely impossible.

Xie Kai is a bit hot, and other units pay attention to the funds in the base, but Qi Zhiyuan is like this. It is impossible to use this method to make the base focus on this aspect.

The old guy didn’t consider other projects of the base.

“The expansion of the dock will come gradually. Now our other projects also have a large demand for funds, especially many projects have to rely on base investment to continue.” Zheng Yucheng glared at Qi Zhiyuan.

How can you be so ignorant and want to invest funds in the field of naval equipment when you catch the opportunity.

“Let’s talk about the incident that Xiangjiang Global Shipping Company came over some time ago.” Zheng Yucheng brought the topic back.

Li Qingmin saw Xie Kai’s objection just now. He was also worried that Xie Kai would affect the Hudong Shipyard’s development plan. He hurriedly explained, “Global Shipping originally proposed to order four 100,000-ton freighters from China. , The current domestic production of 100,000 tons of cargo ships is only ours…”

The meaning is obvious. It is because of the order that they plan to expand the other two docks to the extent that they can produce ships of 100,000 tons or more.

“Let’s not mention that Global Shipping’s orders are uncertain. Even if it’s confirmed, can the profits of these four ships support the expansion of so many docks? Everyone is now a family, and any project on the base will be affected if the capital chain is broken. To the operation of the entire base. I hope that everyone will not be thinking about fighting local tyrants…” Xie Kai smiled bitterly and shook his head, “Howa International, it was Tan Lin and the others who invested in foreign mines, etc. Those boats were all I forced them to buy it!”

Not at all polite.

Qi Zhiyuan was a little angry, but could only blush without speaking.

It’s not that he doesn’t know the status of 404, but if he doesn’t speed up the progress, he can’t get any orders.

“The expansion of the dock requires a lot of investment and a very long time. All of them are converted to docks that can produce 100,000 tons. What if we need to build larger tonnage freighters? Is it just completed the expansion, and because it cannot meet the market demand, Continue to rebuild?” Xie Kai never thought about touching naval equipment.

Now that I have touched it, it must be done as well as the large aircraft project.

This old fellow Zheng Yucheng is also, let him come, definitely for this purpose.

“Comrade Xie Kai is right. You can’t get all these docks to such an extent at once. Take your time. After all, cargo ships are not like warships and it is too difficult to upgrade technology…” Zheng Yucheng hurried out and slept.

The old guy is good at being a good person now.

“Let’s talk about the cooperation with Global Shipping Company, aren’t they asking about it all the time?”

“The Global Shipping Company has indeed been asking about the domestic situation. The specific unit to order the freighter from has not yet been determined. At present, only we have the manufacturing technology of 100,000 tons of merchant ships…”

“Can it be built right away?” Xie Kai asked Gu Baonong unceremoniously.

Gu Baonong stopped talking immediately.

If it can be built immediately, they won’t have to meet here.

What Hudong Shipyard has are the design drawings and manufacturing technology of 100,000-ton ore ships. Merchant ships and ore ships are different. The requirements for sailing speed and east-west systems are much higher.

“The design is being revised, and the plan will be available soon after the Spring Festival.” Li Qingmin explained quickly.
