Zhang Hang sat tiredly on a chair in the lounge of the high-speed rail station. It had been half a month since they came out. They had visited three steel companies in a row, but they had not received a satisfactory answer.
Zhao Jingfu sat opposite Zhang Hang. He also lost a lot of weight. During this time, he also found his use. In addition to providing some welding technical support to the procurement team, he took over the logistics work of the entire team.
Despite Zhao Jingfu's ordinary appearance, he was still very careful when doing things, which surprised Wei Yuhui.
Zhao Jingfu didn't think anything of it. After all, he had to be meticulous when welding and couldn't be careless. Once there was a problem with the welding, it would be no small matter.
"Mr. Zhang, what did the group company say?" Zhao Jingfu asked Zhang Hang in a low voice.
"Now the company is also urgently mobilizing all its relationships to see if it can find an effective supplier of offshore steel. If it doesn't work, it can only import it from abroad, but this is not a good way. It is said that there are foreign companies
An exclusive agreement has been signed, and ultra-high-strength offshore steel can only be provided to the other party in a short period of time!"
"Is there such an operation?" Zhao Jingfu asked in surprise.
"This is a common practice, especially if the other party notices our shortcomings, they will offer high prices to suppress us and block the construction of the Blue Whale. At the very least, the construction period will be delayed!" Zhang Hang looked around, and there was only one person in the lounge.
Several of them said, "This is why the company requires key data to be kept confidential!"
"Mr. Zhang, where should we go next?" Wei Yuhui asked in a low voice. She had been running on the road all this time, and she was a little tired, but the three of them were the most tired.
"Northern Steel!" Zhang Hang closed his eyes slightly.
Northern Steel is also a large-scale steel company, and its strength is also among the best in the country. However, they were only famous for producing thickened steel plates before. I have not heard about the specific situation of offshore steel. Now Zhang Hang has been able to provide these steel companies with
I don’t have any expectations for F-class marine boards. I just hope that they have the ability to develop and process them. But all of this can only be known by going to the other party.
This journey is more than 2,000 kilometers long, and we have to turn around halfway. Judging from the time, it is estimated to be midnight by the time we arrive.
Anyway, let’s talk about it first when we get to the place!
The frustration of getting nothing for half a month made several people unable to cheer up. Especially Zhao Jingfu was still thinking about the work at Fengyang Shipyard. During this time, his apprentice had made several phone calls, mainly about some technical difficulties.
, even if Zhao Jingfu was not present, they would not know for sure.
Although several people were sitting in the lounge, their minds were not sure where they were going, and they were all listless.
Zhang Hang wanted to say a few words to cheer him up, but he really couldn't bring himself to say them.
At this time, his phone rang suddenly. He was stunned for a moment, then picked up the phone and took a look. It was a call from Longbin's group company.
"I'm Zhang Hang!" Zhang Hang answered the phone.
"Manager Zhang, I am from the Group's Whale Dream Project Headquarters. I am now informing you to change your itinerary immediately and go to Hong'an Steel Company! The specific address will be sent to you later!" There seemed to be some noise on the other end of the phone, accompanied by bursts of cheers.
Voice.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hang immediately realized that there might be a turning point, and hurriedly asked: "Is there anything going on at Hong'an Steel?"
"Yes, our Whale Dream Project has just been approved by the national ministries and commissions. The news from the ministries and commissions is that Hong'an Steel has the conditions to develop and produce high-strength marine steel. You should go to Hong'an immediately with all the documents.
Steel, the company has already confirmed it with them!"
This is undoubtedly great news for Zhang Hang. I didn’t expect that Hong’an Steel has the conditions to develop and produce high-strength marine steel. I had only heard that they were famous for developing and producing special steel, but if you think about it carefully, it’s no wonder.
, capable of developing special steel, and offshore steel is also considered one of the special steels.
"Yuan Yi, refund all the train tickets immediately. Let's go to Hong'an Steel! I have already sent you the address!"
At first, everyone looked a little downcast, but after hearing what Zhang Hang said, they suddenly became energetic.
"Boss, does Hong'an Steel have the goods we need?"
"Why are you asking so many questions? You'll find out when you go there!" Zhang Hang said with a smile.
Zhang Hang's mood has improved a lot. After more than half a month of rejection, there is finally good news.
Yuan Yi hurriedly refunded several people's train tickets, and then changed them to go to Hong'an Steel. After this operation, it was seen how many hours were left before the departure time, and everyone had to stay at the train station again.
Already.
The waiting time at the airport and train station was the most difficult. Upon seeing this, Zhang Hang immediately said with a smile: "I just received a notice from the company that the Whale Dream Project has been recognized and supported by national ministries and commissions, and Hong'an Steel is provided by them.
News, we will definitely be able to get F-grade high-strength marine steel this time."
This may be the best news in recent times. The Whale Dream Project has been recognized, which means that with the support of the state, Fuhai Group can free up its hands and go all out to complete the construction of the Blue Whale.
At this time, Xiaobailou was already in a state of jubilation. Being recognized by the ministries and commissions meant that the goal chosen by Fuhai Group was correct. They had taken the lead, but this was only the first step in a long march of thousands of miles. There would be more to come.
Many difficulties and obstacles lie before everyone.
The first is the date. The country has selected the Whale Dream Project, which means that the future combustible ice mining research plan will be undertaken by the Blue Whale. This is related to the work arrangements of many scientific research units, and it also means that they must work within the prescribed time.
Complete the construction of the Blue Whale within the time limit.
But now they haven't even finalized the raw materials, and the design drafts are being drawn non-stop. Everything seems to be more urgent.
Fortunately, Zhang Dadong brought them good news. After the Whale Dream Project passed the review of the ministries and commissions, he immediately raised the huge issue of localization of raw materials. Someone immediately suggested that Hong'an Steel has strong scientific research capabilities and can discuss research and development of high-tech products.
Strength marine steel matters.
Zhang Hang at the train station breathed a long sigh of relief. He finally had some idea of the offshore steel industry. During this period, the purchasing team had traveled tens of thousands of kilometers and had no clue. Seeing that everyone was in a low mood, I hope this time
Hong'an Steel can live up to expectations.
A few hours later, the procurement team embarked on the journey again. This time, everyone had a determined expression on their faces, but Zhang Hang was still worried, wondering whether Hong'an Steel could fulfill the Blue Whale's needs.
