Anyway, the 209 submarine is for export and they don’t use it themselves. Anyway, they have begun to design the more advanced 212 submarine. Anyway, the person opposite has already gone in and looked at it. Therefore, Helmut convinced himself that the design of the 209 submarine
The drawings were taken out and spread out on the entire table, full of them.
Zhao Ling stood aside and watched carefully.
The day passed quickly. At night, Helmut, Christian and others came to the shipyard together, and took Qin Tao and others to inspect the 209 submarine. The torpedo room and control tower were also
We all went in and walked around, and when we came out again, the sky was already full of stars.
The waves were gently lapping at the slipway on the shore, and the sea breeze was blowing gently. Qin Tao held his wife's hand and looked at the full moon above his head.
Today is August 15th!
After returning to the hotel, Vitalia mysteriously handed Zhao Ling a gift and then went back to the room. When Zhao Ling opened it, she saw that it was a five-nut mooncake.
"Brother Tao, this is the first Mid-Autumn Festival that the two of us have spent together." Zhao Ling said to Qin Tao.
"The first one? Not last year?"
"Last year we spent time together at the shipyard. This year, it's just the two of us." Zhao Ling said.
"What, are you homesick?"
Qin Tao looked at Zhao Ling and found that there was something shiny in Zhao Ling's eyes.
"A little bit, but as long as we are with you, no matter where we go, it will be our home."
In terms of time, when the moon and stars here are scarce, the east is already white.
Qin Baoshan sat up from the bed and looked at the gradually brightening sky outside the window: "I got up. I don't know how Taozi and the others celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival last night."
"Yes, there is also Shiyu, who has already lived in school. Celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival at school probably feels different from at home. I have to get up too. There are still many things to be busy with in the factory."
Cao Yuru also sat up, got dressed, washed her face and brushed her teeth. Before making breakfast, Qin Baoshan had already left the house and walked all the way to the slipway.
Yesterday I got off work early. Today, many workers had already come to work early. When Qin Baoshan saw Yang Dawei, he found that he was riding a motorcycle back from outside. There was a fiber bag on the back seat of the motorcycle.
"Hey, what is this?" Qin Baoshan asked.
"Things mailed from Europe were transferred through the Oriental Pearl Tower." Yang Dawei said, "It only arrived last night. I went to pick it up this morning."
Did it come by mail from Europe? Qin Baoshan was also curious: "Then I'll go and have a look too."
He had already guessed that it was most likely what Qin Tao had sent back. Otherwise, they had nothing to do with Europe.
"Am I wearing you?"
"No, I'll just walk."
Design Department.
Several people helped carry the bag in, and then they started to open it, one layer, two layers, three layers, and they didn't see the contents until the third layer.
In fact, you can tell by looking at it from the outside. It is just like the bag containing waste paper. However, the paper inside is probably not used by those who collect rags. Most of it is high-grade coated paper. This kind of paper cannot be beaten in the beater at all.
It rots into toilet paper.
Qin Baoshan picked up a brochure with a smile: "What is this? Hey, they are all in foreign languages!"
Qin Baoshan said he couldn't understand it, handed it to Yang Dawei, and then went to get the second one. It was still in foreign language. It seemed that the text was different from the first one?
Yang Dawei took it, took a look, and then said with excitement: "This is information from the London International Defense Exhibition!"
Everyone knows that Qin Tao said he was going to Europe to see the International Defense Exhibition and so on, but he was actually going on his honeymoon. Everyone saw through it, but a big shot like Mr. Qin should have a different honeymoon.
I didn’t expect that Mr. Qin didn’t forget about business during his honeymoon and actually mailed them so much information!
Bang!
At this moment, something fell out of the book. Qin Baoshan's eyes lit up and he grabbed it. It was heavy!
"This is a model of a warship. It's very beautiful." Qin Baoshan said, "I want to put it on my desk. Do you have any objections?"
Anyone who dares to compete with Qin Baoshan is just a model anyway. If Qin Baoshan likes it, he can take it away.
"NFR-90 model!" Yang Zhaoxiang shouted from the side: "A new generation of European warships! Mr. Qin is so awesome, he can get this model."
Hearing what Yang Zhaoxiang said, Qin Baoshan felt a little inappropriate again: "Well, should I keep this? Will it be useful to you?"
"No need, there is information here, and it's quite detailed." Zhang Chao picked up a book of information, which was obviously thicker than the others. This information was too detailed and would be of great use to them!
Now, you can understand the design level of the West, learn from the foreigners and learn skills to defeat the foreigners!
There is a large amount of data, the largest of which is from the Navy, but there are also some from the Air Force and the Army. They don't need those data, so they put them away first and wait for Qin Tao to come back to operate them. They will take a look at these data first.
Yang Dawei was extremely emotional. He really made the right decision to resign and come to Mingzhou. Here, the horizons are broader than at the Ship Design Institute.
"Hydrofoil, there is also information about hydrofoils here!" Hu Jia also said: "Boeing 929!".
This is a special type of ship that was developed for high-speed navigation.
It is difficult for ordinary ships to sail more than 30 knots on the water. Warships can only sail at a speed of more than 30 knots. This is because during the navigation process, they will encounter huge resistance from the sea water. The faster the speed, the greater the resistance.
Therefore, some engineers started to use their brains. Can they remove the resistance of the damn water?
The ships have to fly!
Can ships fly? Of course, as long as they have hydrofoils!
There is a bracket at the bottom of the hydrofoil boat, and the hydrofoil is installed on the bracket. In the berthed state, the boat is normal. When the speed of the boat gradually increases, the hydrofoil will generate gradually increasing buoyancy until the hull is lifted out of the water, so
, during the high-speed sailing stage, the hull is exposed to the outside, and only the hydrofoils are inserted into the water, which can greatly reduce the resistance of the water and increase the sailing speed.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! For example, the U.S. Navy has always had a high enthusiasm for high-speed boats for regional offshore operations. In the late 1970s, it designed the most advanced all-aluminum Pegasus class in the world at the time.
The high-speed hydrofoil missile boat was built by Boeing Company. A total of 6 boats were built for combat and patrol missions in the complex sea areas of the Caribbean.
This technology had been proposed at the beginning of this century, and corresponding ships began to be built, doubling the speed of the ship in one fell swoop.
During the Cold War, this technology continued to develop and progress, and various countries conducted a lot of research. Lao Maozi had many hydrofoil missile boats and passenger ships, as did other European countries, and the Americans were not far behind. In the 1970s,
At the end of the 1990s, Boeing designed and built the world's most advanced Pegasus-class all-aluminum high-speed hydrofoil missile boat for combat and patrol missions in complex sea areas in the Caribbean. Later, the technology of this missile boat was also devolved to
Folks, this is the 929 hydrofoil passenger ship.
Although it is called a boat, many of its technologies come from the aviation industry. Therefore, the American Boeing Company built this kind of boat and brought it to the International Defense Exhibition to promote it together with their military products.
The same goes for Lao Maozi. This kind of ship using aviation technology is developed and produced by the specialized Alexeyev Central Hydrofoil Design Bureau. Yes, it is the same Alex who developed the Caspian Sea Monster.
Sheev, including hydrofoils, hovercrafts and ground-effect craft are all his masterpieces.
Take hydrofoils as an example, there are "Rocket", "Meteor", "Oriental", "Comet", "Sunrise", "Petrel" and other models, which are exported to nearly 20 countries including Canada, Vietnam, Greece, Turkey, and the Netherlands.
.
Boeing's ones are a little inferior. They only built a few dozen and sold them to some companies.
At this time, when talking about hydrofoils, Hu Jia was very excited and shouted immediately. But after he finished shouting, he was a little curious: "What, the maximum speed can only be 45 knots? It's not as good as our catamarans."
Woolen cloth!"
Yang Dawei nodded: "Yes, hydrofoils are already a thing of the past. Although this kind of boat sounds very powerful, in actual operation, it will reduce the speed and ensure safety. At the same time, the processing of hydrofoils is also very complicated and requires specialized
CNC machine tools and hydrofoil control have to be operated by computers, and the operating costs are very high, definitely not as good as our catamarans."
In the past few years, when it comes to hydrofoils, they are definitely high-end, but now, this kind of hydrofoils are outdated. Their high-speed catamarans are faster than hydrofoils, and the operating costs are absolutely
Much lower than a hydrofoil.
"That's right, the technology of our catamarans is much more advanced than that of hydrofoils."
"That is, the catamaran luxury yacht we designed is high-end and classy."
At this moment, the phone rang. Qin Baoshan, holding the model in his left hand, answered the phone with his right hand. Here, he had become an idle person.
"Hey, what, the client of Oriental Pearl is at the door? Why don't you let him in quickly?" Qin Baoshan suddenly became excited. He put down the phone and turned to look at Yang Dawei again: "Mr. Yang, come with me.
When meeting customers, Taozi is out, and we have to prop up the shipyard. Whether he is here or not, business will not be delayed."
Yang Dawei nodded: "Director Qin, do you want to call Cong Gong?"
"Yes, call her too, and let's go meet the customer for a while," Qin Baoshan said.
When they met, Qin Baoshan was stunned. There were not only customers in suits and leather shoes, but also Mr. Zhang from the Shipbuilding Industry Corporation!
"Mr. Zhang, what kind of wind has brought you here?" Qin Baoshan said with a smile.
At that time, the shipbuilding industry needed to be reformed. Some parts of the industry united and established the Shipbuilding Industry Corporation, while the other part was abandoned and left to the local government to fend for itself.
At the time, Mr. Zhang was already a major leader in the Shipbuilding Industry Corporation and had a good relationship with Qin Baoshan. He had advised Qin Baoshan many times that this was reform, and the relationship between the two was not bad.
However, Mr. Zhang never dreamed that Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Corporation was already prospering, and now he would have to come to Mingzhou to beg him.
"I haven't sent you customers yet. Our head office still takes good care of Mingzhou." Mr. Zhang introduced: "This is Mr. Wang from Far East Hydrofoil Shipping Company, a subsidiary of Oriental Pearl Xinde Group. He and our shipping company
The Industrial Corporation has signed two contracts for high-speed hydrofoils. However, there are some difficulties when looking for a shipyard to build it. The most innovative one in our country should be Mingzhou Shipyard, so let’s come and take a look.
See if you can build these two high-speed hydrofoils."
In front of customers, we must unite as one, and we cannot say that we are not part of the same system. Moreover, Mr. Zhang is also promoting business for Qin Baoshan now. This business is profitable.
However, Yang Dawei and Cong Ju frowned.
Entering the conference room, everyone sat down, and then officially entered the agenda.
"Our Far East Hydrofoil Shipping Company currently owns eight hydrofoils, mainly engaged in water passenger transportation from the Oriental Pearl Tower to the Casino. Now, we want to expand the size of our fleet, so we decided to order two more hydrofoils.
Over the years, we have seen changes on the mainland. Shipbuilding technology has become more and more advanced, and many ships have been built for our Oriental Pearl Ship King, so we want to entrust this place to build two more hydrofoils for us."
In recent years, world shipping has been in recession. If shipyards want to develop, they have to receive orders. Therefore, when they heard that they were going to order two hydrofoils, the Shipbuilding Industry Corporation took the order. However, going to various shipbuilding companies
After asking around the factory, I found out that no shipyard could build it!
Not to mention avoiding the patent issues of other countries' hydrofoils. Even if we just copy the gourd, it still needs to be machined. The two hydrofoils below must be absolutely symmetrical, which requires a large CNC milling machine.
.
Various shipyards have said that it is not worthwhile to purchase a large CNC milling machine from the island country for two hydrofoils.
Therefore, after asking all the subordinate shipyards, Mr. Zhang could only bring the customer to Mingzhou.
It's different here. Miracles can be created here.
Dredgers, river and sea ships, and natural gas ships are all manufactured here, so next, they can also build this kind of hydrofoil!
"Cough, cough." Yang Dawei coughed, and then said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, hydrofoils have long been outdated. I wonder if you have ever seen a catamaran customs anti-smuggling ship?"
Mr. Wang nodded: "Of course I have seen it before, but that kind of ship is not suitable for us. What we need is a passenger ship that can transport 250 passengers at a time. That kind of ship can transport
There are too few passengers.”
"It seems that you don't know our catamarans." Yang Dawei said: "The biggest feature of our catamarans is their width. If the seats are arranged more densely, three to four hundred people can ride on them. We have one here
You can take a look at the drawings first."
After speaking, Yang Dawei turned on the projector and connected his laptop. A design drawing of a catamaran luxury yacht appeared on the screen.
At this time, Yang Dawei was still feeling a little emotional. A few days ago, Mr. Qin called back and said that he wanted them to take some time to design a catamaran luxury yacht, so they started designing it. Who would have thought that in just a few days,
Soon, someone came to ask them to produce hydrofoils.
Hydrofoils are out of the question, they need to be phased out, they have to market their own catamarans.
Mr. Qin is not here, so they have to do a better job and come back to tell Mr. Qin the good news.
When the projection screen gradually became clearer, Mr. Wang immediately opened his eyes wide.
A catamaran has two hulls on the bottom, so it cannot seat people, but buildings can be piled on top.
The upper floors of passenger ships are generally relatively high, and this yacht is no exception.
"According to our design, the hull is divided into three layers. The lower layer is the living area, with rooms and cafes. The length below is 38 meters and the width is 12 meters. If arranged as seats, it should be able to
The layout is about two hundred, and a more comfortable one can also be furnished with a hundred, fifty or six. The middle floor is planned to be for sightseeing, dining, and receiving guests. If this floor is used to arrange seats, it can probably be furnished for one or two hundred."
There was no way. Qin Tao's request for them was to design a luxury yacht, but now the demand came for passenger ships. There was a gap between the two. However, the appearance and other aspects could be done similarly.
"On these two floors, we will use large transparent floor-to-ceiling glass, so that the field of vision is very broad. As for the third floor, it is an open terrace, where passengers can enjoy the scenery and enjoy the sea breeze."
"Yes, this layout is totally possible! I didn't expect that changing the design like this can really meet our needs." Mr. Wang said: "But, judging from your design, it is not for a passenger ship."
"Yes, we originally planned to build a private luxury yacht." Yang Dawei said: "Now, there is no problem in changing it into a passenger ship."
Mr. Zhang felt slightly embarrassed.
He brought the customer here to ask the Mingzhou Shipyard to manufacture it. What now? Now the customer's requirements are directly modified here.
The customer wants a hydrofoil, not a catamaran.
However, it seems that the customer has no objection and is actually very happy? Is it really possible?
Wait, if the customer orders the catamaran directly here, will the previous hydrofoil contract be voided? Doesn't he come here to make a wedding dress for others?
Mr. Zhang felt anxious again.
"It turns out to be a luxury yacht. How much would it cost to convert this kind of ship into a passenger ship for us?"
"Thirty million." Cong Ju said.
thirty million!
Mr. Zhang was shocked when he heard the asking price. Isn't this too expensive? The hydrofoil they originally negotiated was worth 20 million yuan. After all, it is just a small passenger ship carrying 250 passengers. Even if it is a hydrofoil,
Wing boat, the volume is here.
Sure enough, Mr. Wang frowned: "This is too expensive. The contract we signed with you is for 20 million. If you can accept the price of 20 million, we can make a decision immediately.
Yes."
Qin Baoshan was there and started to want to compromise again. Twenty million was not a lot.
"Wait a minute, are you talking about Hong Kong dollars?" Mr. Wang reacted with a smile on his face.
"If it is a foreign businessman, our quotation is in US dollars. Because we are all Chinese, we use RMB as the unit." Cong Ju said: "Mr. Wang, you should know that 20 million Hong Kong dollars, that is, buying
Just a motorboat."
Yang Dawei has completed the task. He is only responsible for the introduction and the specific price negotiation. He can leave it to Cong Ju. After all, Cong Ju has negotiated several times and has also been to the United States to discuss business with Qin Tao. He is very experienced.
"Moreover, this price is the price of our domestic MTU diesel engine and domestic water jet propeller. If you plan to import goods, you will have to add another five million." Cong Ju's quotations were compared one after another.
high!
Mr. Zhang opened his eyes wide. He had long heard that Mingzhou Shipyard was awesome, but he had never heard that it was so awesome and the price was so high. Wouldn't it make the customers angry?
Sure enough, Mr. Wang stood up and said: "I am very interested in your design, but your quotation is too high and we cannot afford it. It seems that this business is destined to fail.
what a pity."
"You can go back and think about it." Cong Ju continued: "Considering factors such as inflation and the cost of our shipyard, the price may not be this when you come next time."
Qin Baoshan's throat twitched. It was easy for customers to come to the door without Tao Zi. Don't mess up the business. However, he, as the director of the factory, has no real power for a long time. He is also willing to hand over the power.
Congju and the others.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Now, it is not convenient to refute Cong Ju’s face.
"Yes, we are currently building aircraft carriers and natural gas ships. Our factory is not interested in such small orders." Yang Dawei said: "What we are doing are big businesses worth hundreds of millions of dollars."
Mr. Wang's face looked a little ugly. He originally planned to leave in anger, but when he looked at the projection screen, he really couldn't move.
Catamarans are much wider than monohulls, so the upper space is easy to arrange. If the space is dense, arranging three to four hundred seats will be cheaper to operate than a hydrofoil with 250 seats.
After all, the hydrofoil uses a gas turbine and burns aviation kerosene, while the catamaran in front of you uses a diesel engine, so you can save a lot on fuel costs.
Moreover, 20 million is the price he paid for signing the order from here. If it were built by a company in the United States or an island country, the 20 million US dollars would not be available.
So, he hesitated for a moment and then sat down: "Okay, 35 million ships, we want to order two!"
What? This is what happened? Mr. Zhang’s eyes are about to fall off. What kind of logic is this?
"Yes, it's just because our construction period is tight, so the construction period of these two ships will take at least one year, and you must pay at least half of the deposit first."
Pay back half of the deposit?
Mr. Wang had some dissatisfaction on his face: "How could you do this? The deposit of up to 20% is an international practice."
"When you come to our shipyard, you must follow our rules." Cong Ju continued: "We accept orders with half of the deposit paid in advance. If you don't accept it, then please do it yourself."
Where is this? Doesn’t it mean that shipping is in a slump now? Can’t we ask the shipowners for help? Why is Mingzhou Shipyard so stubborn now?
"Okay, we can sign this contract, but if we want to sign it again, the contract with the Shipbuilding Industry Corporation must be cancelled."
Qin Baoshan looked at Mr. Zhang: "Mr. Zhang, you must take care of our Mingzhou Shipyard!"
