"Zhao, you have changed a lot recently." Vitalia came over and said, "In the past, you didn't dare to do such intimate actions at all, but now you are very open."
Zhao Ling's face turned red again. This was not a nice thing to say. It was simply saying that you are very slutty. However, Lao Maozi's thinking is still relatively open. If two people are scolding each other, one person will say that the other's mother is him.
If you are your sweetheart, then the other person will not feel ashamed. On the contrary, he will be very happy and think that his mother is very attractive.
"Qin, something happened over there recently." Alexander also came over and said to Qin Tao.
At this time, Zhao Ling had already pulled Vitalia, and the two walked to the beach, playing with their bare feet in the sand. Qin Tao looked at Alexander who was carrying a wine bottle and said, "What's the matter?"
"In the waters of Huating, an oil tanker named Traveler collided with a container ship during its voyage. In order to avoid sinking the ship, the captain directed the oil tanker to wash ashore and run aground on Chongming Island."
"What?" Qin Tao was stunned for a moment: "This is a big accident. Did the tanker cause a fuel leak?"
Qin Tao was very worried.
Ecological disasters caused by the sinking of oil tankers have occurred many times in the world. The sticky crude oil floated on the sea, and all the seabirds and fish around it suffered.
"No, the tanker has unloaded the fuel and is returning. If it is full of fuel, it is estimated that the container ship cannot hit it."
Empty oil tanker? Qin Tao let out a long breath. Fortunately, if a serious oil leak occurred at the mouth of the Yangtze River, it would be a disaster.
"It's such a pity. That tanker was built in 1974 and weighed more than 200,000 tons. It has only been in operation for more than ten years. It is said that it can no longer be repaired and sailed."
During the chats in the past few days, Alexander knew that Qin Tao was engaged in shipbuilding in China, so he told Qin Tao the news. At this time, Qin Tao's eyes lit up when he heard Alexander's words.
The ship was more than ten years old and was still very new. However, after the collision, the hull was deformed and the owner did not dare to use it anymore and had to sell it at a low price.
If an oil tanker of more than 200,000 tons is purchased at a very low price and then transformed into a floating dock, it will be at least a 100,000-ton floating dock!
At the current Mingzhou Shipyard, the largest shipyard is only 5,000 tons. If a 100,000-ton shipyard is built, it will be able to repair and build larger ships.
After arriving, to get Varyag back, there must be a dock to transform it!
(The previous writing is a bit confusing, so let me introduce it to you now. The slipway is a platform, next to the water surface. The ship can be built on the slipway. Just put up the tripods and weld them. After it is built, use various methods to push the ship into the water.
Go. If this is the case, it seems that only the slipway will be enough for shipbuilding. However, if there is a failure to launch, or there is a problem with the ship after being launched, for example, some ships are outfitted after being launched and sailed for a circle.
What should I do if it is found that there is a problem with the bow of the ship, the propeller is improperly installed, etc., and it needs to be cut and re-welded? Can't it be done in the sea? At this time, it has to be driven into the dock. Therefore, the shipyard must have a dock.
Build the ship directly in the dock, so it is more convenient to launch it. You can also repair the ship in the dock. Ship repair is the most important.)
Now that you have encountered it, you can’t miss it!
Qin Tao has already made up his mind.
Just then, Zaitsev came over.
"Qin, I received news from Lord Nicholas. He is very satisfied and wants to ask you where you plan to go next and arrange your itinerary."
Qin Tao nodded: "I want to go home."
The domestic movement was still very fast. In such a short period of time, all the supplies were prepared and sent to Nicholas. As for how to transport them, Qin Tao was not concerned about it. Now he is already
Returning is like an arrow.
Two days later, Chongming Island.
The surging river water was flowing continuously, and the scene was so magnificent that Qin Tao couldn't help but sing a song.
"the river is long and tempestuous, it was like a hero…"
"Qin Gong, you are so versatile!" said a man with gray hair who was following him. He was Zhao Gangqiang, the owner's representative of this ship.
This oil tanker named Traveler belongs to the Yangtze River Shipbuilding Development Company established a few years ago. It is considered a domestic ship owner, saving Qin Tao the trouble of dealing with foreigners.
At this time, Zhao Gangqiang looked at the Voyager with a bit of reluctance in his eyes. That look was like looking at his own child who died before he was a minor.
"It's just so so." Qin Tao said casually. At this time, he had already checked the status of the entire ship. He was in a good mood, so he started humming this song that became popular all over the country with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in 1995.
came out.
Zhao Ling looked at Qin Tao with admiration. Brother Tao was so amazing, he could actually compose and sing this Linjiang Fairy song.
The breeze blows and the reeds make a rustling sound.
Zhao Gangqiang sighed: "Qin Gong, you are the third wave of people who came to see the ship. The first two waves were also the heads of domestic ship-breaking yards. They offered a price of 8 million, but our company really can't
I have the heart to sell this boat to them for demolition, so..."
Therefore, if Qin Tao increases the price, the company can still bite the bullet and reluctantly sell it. This is what Zhao Gangqiang did not say.
"The price of eight million is already quite appropriate. After all, the transportation here is inconvenient. This ship can no longer sail." Qin Tao said, looking at the big hole in the bow of the ship.
Shipbreaking is also very particular. If the cargo ships that have been eliminated can still float or even have their own power, it will be convenient. You can tow it back or drive it back, find a beach to wash the beach, and then set up scaffolding.
Come to dismantle, there is a highway next to it, and the dismantled scrap metal can be directly loaded into trucks and transported away.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! What now?
This ship is no longer sailable and has to be dismantled on site. Everything has to be transported from outside. This is very expensive. It costs money to transport the ship's dismantling materials, and the dismantled scrap metal has to be shipped.
Transporting it away and going back and forth is very troublesome.
Therefore, after estimating the price of selling scrap iron and subtracting these additional costs, it is 8 million, which cannot be more.
"But, but..." Zhao Gangqiang started to choke before he could finish his words. He was reluctant to sell such a good ship at such a low price.
"But don't worry, we won't dismantle this ship, it will be reborn." Qin Tao said.
"What?" Zhao Gangqiang was stunned: "Isn't your Mingzhou Shipyard the one that dismantles ships?"
The story of the Mingzhou Shipyard has long been spread in circles. Scrap ships are bought back from abroad for scrapping, the scrap steel is handed over to local steel-making furnaces, and the steel that comes out is rebuilt into ships. The whole process is self-circulating, and the profits are amazing and enviable.
, now, the other party didn’t buy this boat to dismantle it?
"We only dismantle high-value ships." Qin Tao blocked the other party with one sentence. Ships like yours are just ordinary civilian ships and there is nothing to dismantle.
"Then what are you going to do with it?" Zhao Gangqiang was confused: "Many experts have come to evaluate it. Even if it is repaired, it cannot continue to sail on the ocean. If it encounters bad weather, it may be dangerous."
"We decided to transform this ship into a dock." Qin Tao said.
What?
Zhao Gangqiang opened his eyes even more: "Dockyard? Can an oil tanker be transformed into a dock? I haven't heard of this in the whole world, right?"
"Yeah, just because it didn't happen before, doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. We are going to create a miracle."
The Traveler cargo ship is 252 meters long, 53 meters wide, and 25 meters high. If modified, the length can be expanded to 280 meters, the width can be expanded to 60 meters, and the height can be reduced to 20 meters.
If compared with the size of the Varyag aircraft carrier, it seems not big enough. After all, the Varyag is a behemoth with a length of 302 meters and a width of 70.5 meters. However, these are the largest data of the aircraft carrier. If the waterline is included, then its
The length is only 281 meters and the width is less than 60 meters. It can be driven into the dock so that it can be repaired. Even if the two sides of the dock are slightly extended, the Varyag can be set up, which will save trouble even with scaffolding.
It would be even easier if it was used to repair other 100,000-ton freighters.
Therefore, Qin Tao made up his mind.
As for the transformation of oil tankers into floating docks, it seems that this era has not yet happened. However, Qin Tao in his previous life has done a lot of similar work. Abandoned oil tankers used their waste heat to transform them into floating docks, semi-submersible ships, container ships, and offshore oil depots.
Offshore oil and gas plants, etc. In the era of oil recession, there have been many modification projects for various oil tankers.
Now it's just a small test.
Technically, there is no problem at all.
"Uncle Zhao, we are serious. You also said that you don't want to see this ship dismantled. So, how about letting it be given a new life in our hands?" Qin Tao asked.
They both offered a price of 8 million, so why should the ship be handed over to Mingzhou Shipyard instead of to others? Of course it is because Mingzhou Shipyard has the ability to give this ship a new life!
At this time, Qin Tao's face was very sincere.
Zhao Gangqiang nodded: "If you can transform this ship into a dock, then I can report to the company and sell this ship to you. However, if you finally dismantle it into scrap metal, that will be a violation of the law."
If we break our contract, we need to pay an additional two million fine."
It has been more than ten years since the country was opened. As expected, these people have become more realistic when doing business and are fined at every turn.
Qin Tao touched his nose: "Of course there is no problem. After the dock is renovated, you are welcome to visit."
The agreement was reached, and facing the sea breeze, Qin Tao continued to sing: "Right and wrong, success and failure are all gone, the green mountains are still there, the sunset is red several times..."
Unfortunately, it is morning now, there is no sunset, only rising sun, so Qin Tao's lyrics don't quite fit the scene.
"Brother Tao, should we go back?" Zhao Ling said to Qin Tao.
After returning from Lao Maozi's place, they immediately came to Huating to contact them. They didn't even bother to go back. Now, when they came to Chongming Island, they came by a boat with Zhao Gangqiang. Now that the matter has been finalized, it's time to go back.
"Okay, I'm going back. Alas, after I go back, I have to become a monk again."
At this time, Zhao Gangqiang was walking in front, Qin Tao and Zhao Ling were walking behind. When he heard Qin Tao say this, Zhao Ling's face turned red slightly and said, "How about I move to your house?"
"Of course not. We are not married yet. How can we live together? We have to avoid suspicion." Qin Tao said.
When Zhao Ling was originally invited to live at home, she was living with Nie Shiyu. Now, she has to avoid Nie Shiyu. Qin Tao doesn't want to cause trouble. Nie Shiyu, this sister, is so charming!
At Lao Maozi's place, the beautiful life of touching during the day and having sex at night is coming to an end.
"That…"
"Let's find a good day and go to the capital together. I'll go to your house to propose marriage," Qin Tao said.
Now that we are all together, we have to give them a status. This matter cannot be delayed any longer.
Zhao Ling was very happy, with a smile on her face, as if she had eaten honey.
Mingzhou Shipyard.
Snapped!
Qin Baoshan slapped his palm on the table: "Little bastard, why don't you come back to discuss such a big matter with the factory first?"
"Didn't I inform you, old man, to get the finance ready? The contract will probably be signed in the next few days," Qin Tao said.
"You, you, okay, your wings are strong! Who has the final say in this factory?"
After just listening to Qin Tao's announcement, Qin Baoshan was annoyed.
Eight million was spent like this. This is a major event in the factory. Qin Tao actually made the decision alone. This is against the rules!
For Qin Tao, on the one hand, he was very excited and ran over to take a look when he came back. On the other hand, of course he was anxious. They were not the only ship-breaking yards in the country. If he arrived late, the other party and other ship-breaking yards would
What should I do after signing a contract?
Of course he could talk to Qin Baoshan calmly about this, but when the old man heard about eight million, he immediately blew his beard and glared. Qin Tao was very unhappy and of course he would resist.
"Old man, of course you have the final say." Qin Tao replied casually: "Also, I want to take a group of our boatmen to form a team and go to Chongming Island to improve on-site. I will make various equipment
We also have to take a lot of them away. These people are considered to be on business trips, so the wages in the factory should be higher."
"What? Little bastard!" Qin Baoshan became even more angry. Did he have the final say?
At this time, Qin Tao had already stood up and walked out.
"Bunny, why are you going?"
"Of course I'm coordinating the ship workers and arranging the business trip." Qin Tao said: "Old man, think about it, which of the things I did was wrong? You have to correct your position as the factory director and don't lose your temper easily.
.”
Crunch!
At this moment, the door outside was pushed open. Before Qin Tao could see clearly, a figure rushed over and bumped into his chest.
